Samantha walked up to the guest book and got ready to sign her name, then read the task and realized she would have to do a bit more! She thought back to a happy memory of her and the Minister and hit on the perfect thing, the day when she first met him.

She had been extremely nervous that day, not really believing that she could possibly get a job as a department head with the Ministry, although she had certainly worked in an official and supervisory capacity before and knew so much about education already. She remembered brushing a piece of lint off her clothes before entering the Minister's office, not sure what to expect and being afraid to meet him or even say a word, which was so unlike her. As she entered the office she relaxed, the Minister was the kind of person she could relate to, intelligent, quick, knowing what he wanted and how to accomplish it. She remembered shaking his hand and as she looked into his eyes she liked him immediately. Truly, she felt a connection with him, that which a good worker feels towards her employer when they have an excellent relationship going. She recalled the thrill she felt at the close of the interview, when he told her that she was hired as the Head of the Department of Magical Education.

Samantha smiled slightly. Truly, she wished the Minister and his bride nothing but the best. Thinking back over this memory made her realize once again what a great man he was.
