"You must of course, accept the interview offer. We shall invite her for dinner, make her feel welcome. Do you not agree, Minister Carlton? She sounds like a dear and it is no secret why I'm here to help you after all."
No secret at all. Not at all.
He reached out and touched the Minister's shoulder, as if reaffirming a connection. "And as for our friend, yes he shall, in due time. When you most need him. But I suppose we need to get such necessities as this, this publicity, out of the way first. We're an open book, are we not, Minister Carlton? We have no secrets from our public. We work in their best interest after all." He continued smoothly, hypnotically. With a hint of a smile on her face, Allie nodded in reply to Martel's question. "I was just thinking that I've seen her name in several editions of The Daily Prophet. I---...," she replied, starting to say something else but stopping before much of the thought could be said aloud. "Right. I think I will accept the offer. Dinner sounds like a nice idea, as well." She turned toward Martel, gave him a small smile and a brief nod, and then returned to her seat behind her desk.
She grew quiet as she listened to Martel's advice. She supposed it did seem like a good idea to address the requests for interviews first. She'd never been interviewed before in her life, and now she was being asked for two--Witch Weekly and The Daily Prophet. As Minister, though, she knew she'd need to get used to this sort of that. Better sooner that later, too. "Alright, we'll address the requests for interviews first, and then we'll look further into the matter concerning our very busy and important friend."
