"M-morning Ian. I-I mean Mr Ashby, sir." Shylo spluttered, managing to spill her coffee down her shirt. She flicked her wand over the mess, and the stain disappeared. "Forever? I...well...no one else is going to get the work done." She mumbled, placing her coffee cup upright on the desk, and turning slowly on her chair. She managed to keep her eyes on the floor.

"I'm very...the same today, thank you, sir, Mr Ashby, sir. And yourself?"

Ashby winced. "Mister? Shylo, Shylo, no 'mister' is needed! Please, Ian or Ashby," he said, chuckling lightly.

"No one? My, my. Shylo, we must restore your faith in people! Do not fret. Work always gets done around here. You needn't do all of it. That's what the others are here for." He gave her a reassuring smile.

"Well, you are quite welcome. I'm quite well today. The sun is shining, and we've got a match to plan! I couldn't be better!"

Of course Luce would talk to the girl about this sooner or later because she wondered what her motives were but it would not take place around Ashby. "Mornin' Mr. Ashby. Mornin' Shylo." Luce gave the both of them a kind smile as she walked past them and took a seat in her cubicle. She got a file out and started reading it. Time for work.

"Please, please. Girls, it's either Ian, or Ashby. No 'mister' needed. We're all friends here, right?"

He raised a hand to Luce in greetings. "'Lo, there, Luce. How goes it?"

"Mornin' Mr Ashby," he said, nodding his head, a smile on his face. He then saw the girl he was talking to. Apparently another employee, he nodded towards her as well.

He looked through several cubicles, searching for his own. After a few 'oopses' and 'excuse me's', he'd finally found his own cubicle and plopped down on the office chair, automatically putting his hands behind his head. Ah, he was finally in the office. He kicked a drawer open gently, got out a couple of folders, and started reading through them. Finally. Work which involved Quidditch.

"Ian," he corrected. "Or Ashby. You're....Cristoph, correct? Cristoph Witte?" He stuck out a hand for a shake. "Pleased to meet you, good sir. As you already know, I am your division head, Ian Ashby. I have only two rules: produce quality work on time, and have fun. Do you think you are up for the task?" He smirked and cocked an eyebrow.

Yes..he remembered his first day. He was fresh out of the league and was looking for an office job. He was still nervous, despite his extensive knowledge of quidditch. He had no idea what Theo was going to be like...but that was back before he knew the old chap.

"Oh! People," he said, calling his other employees back. "I'd like to introduce you to a new addition to our team. This is Cristoph. He'll be working with us from now on, so I expect you to treat him like family." He clapped the young man on the shoulder, hoping to make him feel more at home.

"Now then, we've got quite a task on our shoulders today. We've got to do all of the paperwork for the upcoming Appleby-Kenmare match. Now then, status update. What else do you need to do? Theo has asked me to take care of the official, so I will be sending out a few owls today. Does anyone have any ideas for people? Theo wants to have the official checked. We can't have a biased official, now can we? We don't want a repeat of the Tushtill-Ballycastle match, now do we?" He chuckled, waiting for the others' responses.
