The whole magic carpet conundrum was turning out to be quite the headache with only Conley seeming to know what anyone was actually talking about. If the situation were a bit different, Charles felt that this could have been the set up to a rather amusing joke along the veins of how many department heads it took to screw in a light bulb. Quite unusual for both Kendra and Victoria to be disorganized with their paperwork.

Merlin this was quickly becoming stuffy conversation now, wasn't it?

"We shall all simply have to regroup at the Ministry on Monday and see if we can get the matter sorted and properly document," he nodded to the trio accompanied with a casual clearing of the throat. "Clerical error somewhere, surely."

And here he thought the interdepartmental memo situation had been rectified.

"Yes. The bubbly," he chuckled while patting Victoria's hand draped around his arm as he bowed his head politely to the rest of the group. "If you will excuse us, raspberry bubblies call and I must make a final bids announcement." He waved his hand among the group. "Hop to it if you haven't already."

And then the Fletcher Family was unfolding before his eyes and despite the formality that the situation, mostly, demanded...Charles found the whole scene heartwarming and brought a rather pleasant twinkle to his eye. "Not at all, Mr. Fletcher," he grinned as he unraveled his arm from around Victoria's to place both of his hands firmly on the younger man's shoulders with a gentle squeeze. "Always have been the family man...and you have a very lovely one I can see." His eyes drifted to the young man and then to his charming wife. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mrs. Fletcher," he greeted the woman with a polite hand shake. "Charles Hollingberry, Minister for Magic. Very much looking forward to working alongside your husband in the Minister's Office." And then it was as though the Glitter Puff were baiting the man. Though, to be fair, it was quite easy to get the man to ramble on and on about his own family.

"You absolutely did!" his voice boomed, CLEARLY pleased that he had remembered his beautiful daughter. "She spoke quite highly of you, a first year during the whole Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts. Though you were not her favorite champion to start, I lament to recall. She was quite close with a Miss Cameron Caddock...were you close with her? My precious ray of perfect sunshine always spoke fondly of the older Gryffindor. One of her first mentors at Hogwarts. She also spoke highly of a Raiden Kururugi...whom you needed to work together with to defeat a rather savage cockatrice. Oooooooh...she wrote PAGES and pages about that final task. A rather bit of brilliant thinking on your part to mimic the call of a rooster to confuse the beast. My daughter, she is a renowned dragonologist now...by the way. Works as a fertility specialist specifically trying to increase the dragon number of endangered species. I have pictures I can show you sometime..and of my five grandchildren her and her husband, Lewis...who was a Hufflepuff as well, blessed me with. Truly terrible what wizardingkind can do to creatures, don't you think? Hunting them nearly to the point of extinction. Getting those great creatures to mate under pressure and incubate their eggs according is quite remarkable...not to mention the conditioning required to get them acclimated back to their natural environment away from the reservation. It's quite delicate work but very important work. But anyway...back to this cockatrice," he chuckled a bit and smoothed his tie down. "Impressive quick thinking on your part under pressure! A valuable skill and quite the remarkable Hogwarts career!"

Forgive him, Victoria, they would be getting to those bubblies in a moment. Though a quick glance at the large pendulum clock on the wall reminded him of an announcement he needed to make as well.

"Oh, pardon me for just a moment..." Clearing his throat, the Minister pressed his wand to his throat and spoke once again. "FINAL CALL FOR ALL BIDDING IN THE SILENT AUCTION! I will be announcing the winning bids in 15 minutes!"
