Oliver was here to mingle and get acquainted with his new place of employment and an orientation was a good time as any to do that, but he was a little nervous. He did not come with a date, but he did however thankfully have his sister; Penelope on his arm. He was dressed up in a suit for the night, but the tie was already starting to irritate him. Raising a hand to loosen it, he grimaced a little as they stepped into the greenhouse. Oliver’s eyes went immediately to the star flower of the night. "What is that flower called sis? I know it starts with a c and sounds morbid." Looking around the room, he detected some good looking females as well as the refreshments table. "Penny, shall we go get ourselves some drinks and snacks before we take a closer look at the plants?" That was the point of choice of venue right? Starting to move across the floor Oliver fell in step behind two women (Louise and Arabella) with linked arms that were chattering like women do with their best pals in front of him and he couldn't help, but overhear what the black haired one was saying to the other one. Not being able to resist the urge to butt into their conversation he asked them with curious smile. "Why do you need to find a guy's? Don't you two beautiful ladies already have long time boyfriends waiting for you at home?"

SPOILER!!: Airey & Anya

Thankfully the words from the new Senior Undersecretary went unheard, though the shout from one of the new Unspeakables did catch his attention. His mind quickly searched the information bank of faces and connections, noting the apparent age of the young man and his companion which placed them both in the former pupil category. The man lifted his hand once he had caught the young man's attention, the palm forward and the thumb extended while the fingers are parted between the middle and ring finger.

Perhaps he should seek out the Minister and see about getting himself dismissed since there was little to be accomplished here and all his work remained within the department itself.

Holiday break, who?

The first thing Anya wanted to do the moment she arrived was to acquire a drink for herself. She may not have brought a plus one to the event, although she considered asking Hazel but she was aware that social gatherings just weren't his cup of tea, but she made sure that her outfit would garner attention. This shade of yellow was particularly lovely, and she knew it looked good on her given her early years of experience in the modelling industry. One would not look so stressed if they dressed a certain way, and that was a look she was going after.

"Hello, Mr. Flamsteed," Anya brightly greeted her boss as she passed by, on her way to the beverage table. She would be chilling there while she waiting for a familiar face to arrive. Perhaps Angelica, or any of her colleagues from level 9. They could hopefully talk about something that wasn't related to the Rheticus Vortex because Merlin knew how much Anya needed a break from that.

Kat had been particularly wary about having non-DERP employees in the greenhouses. While Greenhouse One wasn't as dangerous as the quarantined greenhouses, even the most mundane of plants would be vulnerable to the type of people who can't seem to keep their hands to themselves. It gave her mild relief, though, knowing they'd placed protective charms beforehand.

Work was work, even when she was extremely worried for both the plants and her daughter at Hogwarts. It had been a difficult holiday break in the Belrose residence. Everyone missed Cassie.

The enforcement division head walked around, smiling and nodding politely to anyone she made eye contact with. Those she personally knew, however, received verbal greetings. "Evening, Penelope," Kat said to the former Gryffindor, now auror. Then, she came across a familiar face she hadn't seen within the department for some time. "Welcome back to the Ministry and the department, Eureka." It's great to have them all returning, especially for someone who's been working here for nine years now.

She momentarily eyed Lucille and Mr. Flamsteed for their exchange. For someone who struck Kat as a very stick-to-the-rules person even during her Hogwarts years—of which she's aware that it's been a while—her former Astronomy professor was being quite odd.

Good to know their spellwork was effective.


Laurel headed into the greenhouse wishing that she could skip it all together but it was mandatory so here she was but not feeling the party mood. Dressed in a silvery dotted dress for the evening the blond unspeakable quickly scanned off the room, noting the giant flower. Her husband was nowhere in sight since she had lost him by the coats so Laurel headed towards the only familiar faces in the room meaning Airey and Anya off by the refreshments table. Coming to a stop near them she plastered on charming smile as eyed up the selection of drinks on offer. "Good evening Airey and Anya! I'm glad for a night without vortex talk arent you? Have you seen any cheese straws anywhere? Or some apple cider?" She had an urge for some, which was weird because usually she disliked them as much as she did brocoli. Turning to look at the giant flower or really all the flowers in the greenhouse she wondered if any of them were touchable.
