She preferred it this way, to be busy. She enjoyed being of use. She was grateful, however, to be back to work with the Ministry being at the top of her list of priorities for now. She had lesson plans to create and she had missed her colleagues terribly.

With a bright smile, she made her way into the greenhouse. She waved at Chloe joon (dear), who was busy in conversation. Yassi did not want to be a bother and opted against interrupting their current moment. She would surely have the time to chat with her friend later. And time to chat was very much needed as Yassi wanted to hear all about everyone's holidays.

As she continued to float around in the large greenhouse, she smiled at all who so much as glanced in her direction. If time would have allowed, she would have liked to stop by and chat with everyone.

She found herself admiring the vibrant color of Lucy's dress when she heard someone shouting. Yassi immediately looked around with concern in her eyes, but when she saw the two young men (Kaiser and Kodee) hugging, she was no longer concerned. Instead, she smiled to herself. They must be good friends. She laughed softly to herself as she continued her way towards the center of the room to admire the centerpiece.

Settling near two others whom she did not know (Luther and Kiko), she smiled warmly. She nodded, having caught Kikos' exclamation of awe just as she had stopped. "I am sure it will be even more beautiful once it blooms." It looked just about ready to do so as well.
Kendra had much on her mind as she walked into the greenhouses for the annual orientation event. She was hoping that it would serve as a pleasant and much needed distraction. Another year she might have felt strange about attending with her brother as her plus one, though as he was also a Ministry employee maybe she was his plus one. But the department head was a little more concerned with what happened to Hogwarts, or what the situation was there, as she seemed to almost every year. Her daughter was no longer there, but her niece and nephew were, and she was very worried about them. For tonight, she would do her best to put it out of her mind. Worry was unhelpful and unproductive anyway.

She had spotted Chloe when she walked in, but did not interject herself in the younger woman's conversation as she appeared quite busy. But Kendra did give her a warm smile in greeting as she passed. And there was her dear assistant in the company of a bearded man. "Hello, Stella. Hope you had a nice holiday break," she greeted her pleasantly as she walked past. She didn't want to interrupt, so she'd catch up to her later perhaps.

Kendra soon found herself with a drink in her hand and she wandered closer to the main event, pausing to greet Yassi as she noticed her next. "Yasmin, hello!" she smiled warmly before turning her eyes to the plant about to bloom. "Enjoying yourself?"

Being an auror had always been her dream, but she was discovering just how difficult it could be at times, and turning it off was that much harder to do with each passing day.

Jumping a bit as a guy about her age shouted across the room to another man, the brunette frowned slightly and ran a hand through her hair. "Relax, Em." Maybe some food would help. She looked around briefly and then headed over to make herself a plate.
Milo actually enjoyed these orientations, especially the refreshments, though he didn't care much about this plant that was supposed to bloom. And what was with the name - corpse flower? Weird.

Leaving his sister to mingle, he decided to help himself to some food. As he reached for a plate, he noticed a woman who seemed rather jumpy. "Are you okay?" he asked, a little concerned, but gave her a friendly smile.
