"Good evening gentlemen, Roxanne," Ivy said, nodding to the men and then her fellow candidate, her hand resting on Erik's arm and a slightly twisted smile on her face. She turned to Ivy again. "I wish you the best of luck tonight. Break a leg." It was a figure of speech in most cases, but Ivy didn't really mind if it just so happened to come true.

Ivy then walked right between Erik and Roxanne and headed off for the buffet. Before she got too far, she turned her head back in Erik's direction and gave him a wink before disappearing through the crowd.

From Erik's gesture to the woman, Bjorn saw that he had indeed understood. The man was a natural, the perfect candidate for Bjorn's style. Also extending his hand to the woman, he said, "And I'm Bjorn Berg, his campaign manager." Noting her smart pant suit, he added, "And permit me to say that you look lovely this evening, madam, absolutely stunning." And that's how it's done, Vinteren. SCHMOOOOOOZE.

Then a new woman appeared from thin air, or so it seemed. Courtesy and schmoozing protocols required a greeting, so he said sleekly, "Good evening, madam. My my, the Brits sure do know how to clean up for a gala, yourself included." Cue winning smile.

But not long after, she made her somewhat discourteous exit. No matter, there were others on which his charm could be used.

He hadn't heard much than Erik asking the Head Girl to get him votes, but hadn't really thought of a way to use that against him. Also, knowing Erik, there was more to it than just bribing the girl into rallying support for him.

Still, approached the man with a friendly smile and waved happily at the two of them. "Hello Erik, Roxanne," he said, nodding at the two of them. He straightened his checkered red bowtie and looked around the room. "So, ready to mingle with the folks from the Ministry?" he asked, trying to make conversation.

"I'm doing well, just a bit tired. How about you?" He was rather impeccably dressed himself. But then again, he always was.

And then Ivy happened. Which drew a smirk from Roxanne as the other woman proceeded to act like....... "My my, someone seems to have their attitude switch to 'jealous teenager' this evening," she commented idly. And it seemed that Erik's companion for the evening had thought the same. "Roxanne Carter, Board of Governors candidate. Pleasure meeting you this afternoon, Mr. Berg," she returned with a pleasant smile, shaking his hand as well. "Thank you very much. You look rather dashing yourself."

Then her potential ally showed up. "Hello, Nolan," she replied with the same smile still on her face. "Well, some of them, anyway." She could do without Althea and her boss' sister-in-law of course, but that went without saying. She let out a little bit of a chuckle at that thought as she imagined a hole opening up in the middle of the place and swallowing them both. And speaking of pleasant thoughts, she her eyes, just her eyes mind, slide over to a certain group nearby, just to see if her coworker was watching this.


Erik was still waiting for Roxanne to shake his hand when Ivy.........happened. His attention was immediately ripped away from the blonde candidate as he felt Ivy's hand on his arm and his eyes took in that dress. Damn...... he completely lost focus of who else was around them as he watched Ivy walk off and then wink at him.

Well. Well well. And she'd said she despised him. Women. He had to mentally shake himself back to focusing on Roxanne and Bjorn, but could he be blamed for being a red-blooded male? No sir. He just hoped his jaw hadn't dropped during that little spectacle.... Should he go after her? Would that look bad? Probably. He probably shouldn't call too much attention to their alliance. The manager wouldn't approve.

But he would go seek her out later to tell her just how smashing she looked. Really outshone the competition. Very attractive attire. Ahem. He needed a distraction...

And there it was, Nolan Reynolds. One could always count on him to arrive at the worst of times. "Reynolds," Erik blinked away his thoughts and gave the guy a cool nod. "Vis is my campaign manager, Bjorn Berg." He'd noticed how Nolan had missed greeting him. Erik preferred to talk to Roxanne anyway.

"I'm doing...fine," he replied to the person he'd originally been talking to. He almost laughed at her comment about Ivy but stuck to just a crooked smirk. "Did you haff a happy new year's?" That was a light, safe conversation topic. Would Berg approve? Erik was going to roll his eyes if not.

Bjorn was a bit surprised by Roxanne's words, but he understood her feelings. "Oh, the pleasure is all mine, I assure you!" he said graciously. He let go of her hand as she continued. "You are too kind, Miss Carter." Especially when compared with the woman who had interrupted them.

Well yes, Reynolds, Bjorn DID notice your lack of greeting. But it wouldn't do to seem put off, no it would not. Instead, he graciously extended his hand towards the dunk tank loser man. "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Reynolds." Pleasure to start finding your weaknesses.

Ministry RPG Name:
Nathaniel Matthews
Environmental Protection
Default Mariel :D
Under the Sea! =D Roll Tide

Upon hearing that not only had he gotten the Ministry gig but that there was some kind of party going on Nathaniel had sent out two owls immediately. He’d sent an owl to his grandparents asking them if they could baby sit so he could go and one to Mariel. He needed someone there he knew. She worked there, he bet she knew loads of people. Plus, it was another excuse to spend time with the brunette.

Nathaniel had figured that it was a formal event. He didn’t normally attend these sort of events so he had to go find something decent to wear to this thing. He’d made a friend go shopping with him and they’d spent an entire day out in Muggle stores looking for the perfect attire for the Bash. He couldn’t decide on ties, vests, stripes or solid colors. He normally wouldn’t have cared but he had to make a good impression on co-workers and Mariel. He’d decided that he’d switch his beloved contacts for his “nerdy” glasses that he hardly wore anymore. He hated doing it but he’d shaved his face.. but he had kept his side burns long. Had to have some sort of facial hair, he felt weird if not.

The night of the event had finally arrived. He’d spent way too much time getting ready and listening to his Grams tell him that everything with Egon would be fine and that he needed to just relax and enjoy his time out. Nathaniel didn’t do well at parties… or around big groups of people. WHY DID HE WANT TO GO TO THIS THING? He’d paced around his flat for what seemed like hours thinking about canceling on Mariel. He couldn’t do that. This was his chance, right? To prove that he wasn’t a jerk and that he was that nice boy she’d met when they were in school together. No. He couldn’t mess this up.


Nathaniel had finally arrived at the venue this Bash was being held at. He was nervous and could feel himself sweating. DISGUSTING, he thought. Was Mariel under the impression that this was a date? He'd totally be okay with that. His eyes wandered around the room looking for Mariel. She didn't seem to be anywhere in his eyesight.

He ventured off out of the way but kept the doors in his eye rang so he could spot Mariel when she arrived.

After the divorce from her ex-husband now many years ago she had dated sparingly and enjoyed single life to the fullest. Every girl dreamed of eternal love with that certain someone and she was no exception. Maybe she could find it with Dorian she pondered as she walked beside him into the ministry building. It was going to be interesting to see how her sister would react to them coming together and also how Wesley would react. It was important to her that Wesley approved more than she had thought at first. Tasha valued Wesley’s opinion even more so now after they had worked together, to make things work for the twins during Izzy’s illness.

Pulling off the scarf from her around her shoulder's Tasha pushed it gingerly down into her purse. Taking a hold of Dorian’s offered arm she said as they came up to the entrance to for the event smiling. "Let's check out the dining area first. I want to see what kind of food and refreshments the buffet table has to offer." It was best to eat something before the debate kicked off. Tasha doubted there would be much time to eat as the debate went on and she wanted to dance too.

"Place looks nice," Wes commented to Iz as they walked in and took a look around. His tie was choking him already but it had handsome stripes on it so he figured he'd keep it on for the first hour at least. "Wonder when the...."

He trailed off, forgetting the rest of his sentence for a moment when he recognized the couple just in front of them. Merlin's beard, that wasn't Dorian, one of his old Gryffindor pals and current division head, and Tasha, his sister-in-law, was it?! There, together??!? OH BUT IT WAS. Just look at them, trying to sneak off to the food table already.

"DORIAN," Wes boomed, making his presence known just behind them. He quickened his pace to catch up to the pair, unwittingly dragging Izzy along too probably. "And Tasha," he greeted the pretty lady as well. "How ARE you two DOING today?"

Wes was smiling now, more like smirking, but smiling nonetheless.

She hadn't seen them that much recently, not with her being quarantined. So today would be a good time to catch up with everyone.

"It does look nice." She nodded, glancing around. They'd done a good joob. She smirked a little as she noticed him messing with his tie. "I told you not wear a tie." She knew her man, and she knew he really wasn't into wearing ties. He looked pretty good though. She'd already told him that though, no need to repeat it here. She frowned though as she suddenly pulled her off somewhere.

"Wes" She groaned as they fell into pace with Dorian and her sister. Tasha. Ahh. Interesting. She smiled at them both. "Hey Tash, Dorian." How nice it was to seem them here. Together. She glanced up at her husband, smirking a little. Did he see it too?


Dorian could tell that Natasha felt just as nervous about what could happen while they were at the event that night, and not only because he was fairly observant due to his job. It wasn’t surprising at all that they would both not be entirely sure how certain people would take them announcing that they were in fact now dating, and that was without him knowing just how much of a predicament he had been in not that long ago. He knew that she had met Roxanne, and that there had been the slightest bit of awkwardness when it came to his colleague, but that didn’t mean she knew the nature of the awkwardness. He hadn’t had to escape any situations by falling eight feet to a stone floor lately, which meant that he felt things would be calmed down until he’d noticed the figure of said Wizengamot jurisprudent and board candidate storming past them with a dark look. Apparently things hadn’t gotten quite as understood as he had assumed, but she hadn’t said anything. Therefore he wouldn’t open up that drama either. She could just stay over talking to those other men and he’d stay with Natasha.

“That sounds like a good idea. Before it gets crowded and picked over,” he agreed, glancing down at her as she had taken his offered arm and preparing to head in that direction with her. They would have to pass others, but that wasn’t something he was going to hide from anymore. However, as soon as he had raised his head again to start walking, the loud sound of someone saying his name echoed through the room and he forced himself to turn to greet Wes with a vaguely amused look on his face, sending a brief nod over at Isobel at his friend and boss’ side. There was no chance of staying incognito anymore. “Wes, Isobel. You look well,” he replied dryly. There wasn’t any way to sidestep anything now, not with the almost matching smirks on both of their faces. They didn’t seem disapproving. If anything, they found something amusing. “I’m doing quite well, now that things have calmed down a bit again.” he wasn’t saying anything else, and he certainly wasn’t going to bring up the illness. Isobel looked entirely healthy now, though, which was good.

He had briefly met with his supposed 'campaign manager', Penney or something, who seemed like a decent enough guy. But he just hoped that the guy wouldn't be too heartbroken with his decision that he came to the other night.

He dressed nicely for tonight's affairs, even donning a black tie, but mostly he was on a mission. One that didn't involve talking to strays or even discussing the matters with his manager. "Excuse me ...." Andrew said, making his way through the crowds, his sights set on the large stage area at the front of the room. That was where he would find where he needed to be.
So his candidate had skived off the first debate. That hadn’t dampened Covington’s spirit one bit, and he had instead located an owl to contact Andrew Rose and make his introductions. He couldn’t exactly use his own, on the chance it would get recognized by someone, but he wasn’t about to let his candidate stay in hiding forever. It didn’t matter if he was having second thoughts, misgivings, an aversion to Hogsmeade, whatever had made him miss the first debate. Covington had been determined to get him to the second, and besides, it was a party. If anything, that should have gotten the other man’s interest, and the actual face-to-face meeting that had occurred after the owl contact had assured him that he still hadn’t failed yet. He wasn’t going to fail, he never failed, and the very fact the party was happening at a place he was both familiar with and hadn’t exactly seen under the most exciting of circumstances in the past wasn’t going to make him falter yet.

He wasn’t about to let people escape, either, and he wove his way through the sparse crowds as he’d seen his target, making sure to give a smile and a few words to most of those he passed. No reason he couldn’t ingratiate himself with the people who would be doing the voting, even if he wasn’t the one being elected. Besides, it was a New Year’s event, and that meant the possibility of getting something more out of someone who so far was a mystery later on. He just had to make sure that he kept people interested, but first was connecting with Mr. Rose. “Andrew, my man,” he said, clapping him on the shoulder as they reached the stage. “Making sure everything’s to your liking for the debate later?” Being comfortable with the environment was an advantage, for sure. He himself was comfortable in any situation, but not everyone was. He knew Andrew would keep things interesting, at least.

It was with some butterflies in her stomach that Natasha saw Roxanne stomp past her and Dorian with a dark look about her face. She couldn’t help but let out a small sigh of relief when the other woman left and focused her attention elsewhere. It took no genius to understand that Roxanne wasn’t happy with the fact that she was there and on Dorian’s arm as his date. Tasha was going to enjoy herself at this new years bash in Dorian's company and if Roxanne wanted to make a scene later then it was up to her. She wasn't going to seek trouble. This was going to be a wonderful night with good food, some dancing and hopefully a good debate and Tasha wasn’t going let Roxanne ruin that for her.

"Okay, lead the way." She murmured to Dorian as she felt him start to steer her in the food’s direction. It was then that she heard the sound of a booming voice saying Dorian’s name behind them. Turning she manoeuvred around as Wesley and her sister Isobel quickly caught up to them. Her face lighting up into a big beam Tasha greeted both of them. "Hello Wes! I didn't know you wore ties?" Briefly letting Dorian’s arm go she walked up and gave her sister a hug and two pecks on her cheeks. "Hi sis, you look well. The vacation really did you some good." Yes her sister had gotten colour back into her cheeks and some weight too. "Have you talked to mother recently?" Stepping back a few steps she snuck her arm back under Dorian’s where it had been seconds before. Focusing on Wesley she said with a brief glance at Dorian. "I'm wonderful. I’m looking forward to some dancing and the debate but first food." Tasha had seen the exchange of glances between her sister and Wesley but they were as always hard to read, but hopefully they didn’t disapprove.

"Ah, nice to meet you Mr. Berg," Nolan said, extending a hand for a shake. So this was the man behind Erik's success. Or was he really? Nolan had a hunch he was behind the SCHEMING part of Erik's plan to win votes, but Erik seemed to pretty much have the whole thing under control. If only HE had such a great campaign manager, his hadn't shown up in ages...

"I guess I should congratulate you on your candidate's success," he said with a chuckle. "I'll admit it was a tad embarrassing getting dunked but I'm looking forward to redeeming myself tonight," he explained.

In case Berg and Erik didn't already know, he was NOT going down without a fight.

"So, enjoying the evening so far?" he asked the whole group.

He just hoped his jaw hadn't dropped during that little spectacle.... Should he go after her? Would that look bad? Probably. He probably shouldn't call too much attention to their alliance. The manager wouldn't approve.

But he would go seek her out later to tell her just how smashing she looked. Really outshone the competition. Very attractive attire. Ahem. He needed a distraction...

And there it was, Nolan Reynolds. One could always count on him to arrive at the worst of times. "Reynolds," Erik blinked away his thoughts and gave the guy a cool nod. "Vis is my campaign manager, Bjorn Berg." He'd noticed how Nolan had missed greeting him. Erik preferred to talk to Roxanne anyway.

"I'm doing...fine," he replied to the person he'd originally been talking to. He almost laughed at her comment about Ivy but stuck to just a crooked smirk. "Did you haff a happy new year's?" That was a light, safe conversation topic. Would Berg approve? Erik was going to roll his eyes if not.

Well yes, Reynolds, Bjorn DID notice your lack of greeting. But it wouldn't do to seem put off, no it would not. Instead, he graciously extended his hand towards the dunk tank loser man. "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Reynolds." Pleasure to start finding your weaknesses.

Nolan had a hunch he was behind the SCHEMING part of Erik's plan to win votes, but Erik seemed to pretty much have the whole thing under control. If only HE had such a great campaign manager, his hadn't shown up in ages...

"I guess I should congratulate you on your candidate's success," he said with a chuckle. "I'll admit it was a tad embarrassing getting dunked but I'm looking forward to redeeming myself tonight," he explained.

In case Berg and Erik didn't already know, he was NOT going down without a fight.

"So, enjoying the evening so far?" he asked the whole group.


And BINGO! Well, sort of. Her coworker had at least noticed. Which was enough for her, for now anyway. Because as much as he may try to deny it to himself, if he'd been so into his date and not at all interested in Roxanne, he wouldn't have noticed her, no matter how observant he was. She didn't see him slightly scowling at the other women who had brought dates (Not that she thought of these men as dates, just potential allies. Or enemies.). And that's because he wasn't. A fact that put a slight smirk on her face as she turned back to the conversation at hand.

"Of course. Had a wonderful and successful party. In fact, still a little tired from that," she replied, turning her slight smirk into a smile. But honestly, who holds a New Years Party the next day, on the first? She had never heard of such a thing before. And obviously, the Board of Elections was just as clueless, having a debate when there was a good possibility of everyone being tired from the night before. And speaking of the Board, who even was on it, anyway?

And that was how you did things, Ms. Ivy Knox. Honestly, a little politeness always got you somewhere. If she had gone to Hogwarts (Roxanne couldn't remember if she'd said or not), she certainly hadn't been a Slytherin as obvious as she had acted. "Aw, you just haven't gotten to know me yet," she replied with a wink. Okay, she wasn't that bad, but he didn't have to know that.

Unfortunately when she had walked by a few minutes ago, she had not only caught the attention of Dorian, but Natasha as well. Unfortunate for the other woman anyway. Because she was so busy eyeing Roxanne, she had failed to notice her date doing the same. Which made her want to laugh. Well, this is going to be a piece of cake.....

And turning her attention back to her companions, she tried to hide another smirk with a smile. Though, she was sure her eyes were showing a trace of amusement. "Oh, definitely. But I'm kind of curious about whose idea it was to hold a New Years party on New Years Day......." And her thoughts were turning circular. Brilliant.

SPOILER!!: Nathaniel

He’d sent an owl to his grandparents asking them if they could baby sit so he could go and one to Mariel. He needed someone there he knew. She worked there, he bet she knew loads of people. Plus, it was another excuse to spend time with the brunette.

Nathaniel had figured that it was a formal event. He didn’t normally attend these sort of events so he had to go find something decent to wear to this thing. He’d made a friend go shopping with him and they’d spent an entire day out in Muggle stores looking for the perfect attire for the Bash. He couldn’t decide on ties, vests, stripes or solid colors. He normally wouldn’t have cared but he had to make a good impression on co-workers and Mariel. He’d decided that he’d switch his beloved contacts for his “nerdy” glasses that he hardly wore anymore. He hated doing it but he’d shaved his face.. but he had kept his side burns long. Had to have some sort of facial hair, he felt weird if not.

The night of the event had finally arrived. He’d spent way too much time getting ready and listening to his Grams tell him that everything with Egon would be fine and that he needed to just relax and enjoy his time out. Nathaniel didn’t do well at parties… or around big groups of people. WHY DID HE WANT TO GO TO THIS THING? He’d paced around his flat for what seemed like hours thinking about canceling on Mariel. He couldn’t do that. This was his chance, right? To prove that he wasn’t a jerk and that he was that nice boy she’d met when they were in school together. No. He couldn’t mess this up.


Nathaniel had finally arrived at the venue this Bash was being held at. He was nervous and could feel himself sweating. DISGUSTING, he thought. Was Mariel under the impression that this was a date? He'd totally be okay with that. His eyes wandered around the room looking for Mariel. She didn't seem to be anywhere in his eyesight.

He ventured off out of the way but kept the doors in his eye rang so he could spot Mariel when she arrived.
Mariel was slightly surprised that she had received an owl from Nathaniel asking her to meet him at an event she was already expected to attend. It was a Ministry affair, after all, and she was a bit eager to meet the new employees in her department. Plus it was a party and a reason to buy a new dress and shoes. The brunette wouldn't mind meeting Nathaniel there though. She was also interested to hear about his new job. She just hoped he wasn't under the impression it was a date. It's not like he was actually escorting her there.

The young woman stepped inside, green eyes sweeping the room. Mariel knew very few Ministry employees outside her own department and she didn't immediately see anyone familiar. Walking further inside, the brunette finally stumbled upon someone she knew. "Nathaniel," she greeted him with a smile. He looked quite nice, didn't he? All suited up.. though she never did care for those funny little glasses. "How are you tonight?" A little small talk, yeah?

It didn’t matter if he was having second thoughts, misgivings, an aversion to Hogsmeade, whatever had made him miss the first debate. Covington had been determined to get him to the second, and besides, it was a party. If anything, that should have gotten the other man’s interest, and the actual face-to-face meeting that had occurred after the owl contact had assured him that he still hadn’t failed yet. He wasn’t going to fail, he never failed, and the very fact the party was happening at a place he was both familiar with and hadn’t exactly seen under the most exciting of circumstances in the past wasn’t going to make him falter yet.

He wasn’t about to let people escape, either, and he wove his way through the sparse crowds as he’d seen his target, making sure to give a smile and a few words to most of those he passed. No reason he couldn’t ingratiate himself with the people who would be doing the voting, even if he wasn’t the one being elected. Besides, it was a New Year’s event, and that meant the possibility of getting something more out of someone who so far was a mystery later on. He just had to make sure that he kept people interested, but first was connecting with Mr. Rose. “Andrew, my man,” he said, clapping him on the shoulder as they reached the stage. “Making sure everything’s to your liking for the debate later?” Being comfortable with the environment was an advantage, for sure. He himself was comfortable in any situation, but not everyone was. He knew Andrew would keep things interesting, at least.
Andrew's eyes were just glancing over the crowds that were already filling into the entrance area, as he took in the scenery. Really he should have been used to this; these crowds had NOTHING on professional quidditch games with literally hundreds of thousands of eyes fixed on you and the other players.

The last thing Andrew expected though was for someone to to approach him at this event and clap him on the back, but when he heard the 'Andrew, my man', he knew it was friend, not foe. He also had his suspicions of who it might be. Covington. Looking innocent at his manager, of whom he'd met once and been contacted by owl not too long ago, he nodded in concurrence. "Covington Penney. Good to see you again," He said, clapping the man on his shoulder in return greeting. "Always, always. If it's not to my liking or satisfaction, then I may as well pack it in, you know?" He looked around, recognizing a few familiar faces that he met and waved in good quidditch political fashion.

Nathaniel straightened up when he heard his name and saw Mariel. Wow, did she look fantastic. Even if that dress of hers was a little too sparkly for his taste. "Good evening, Mariel." he said to the brunette as he grinned at her.

"You look.. gre..you look beautiful tonight" he stumbled to say as he blushed. Great. Yep. More sweating. This was going to be a long night for him. "I'm well. Better now that you're here. I felt like a loser just standing over off to the side by myself"

He shifted his weigh to his left foot. What now? Were they supposed to go get a drink? Go dance? Eat? "Well, would you care to grab a bite to eat or a drink or what?" he asked her knowing that he sounded like he was an idiot.
What was wrong with him? He was acting like a bashful first year.

Gerti was so not the first one here this time. Already a large crowd of people were gathering inside the magnificent archway. The Atrium that greeted her could not have been more different from the Atrium that she was used to. She stood for a moment to the side of the entrance just to see where everything was.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following her was Crip Shaar. He didn't seem to care so much for the ornaments, at least he didn't stop to look at them. He scanned the crowd, looking for the candidates. Then his eyes settled on Ms. Carter and Mr. Vinteren, who happened to be talking to each other. His bets were that one or both of those two would win. He walked towards them until he was close enough to hear what they were saying. Then he turned to stare at the decorations, a fake look of fascination on his face.

Leo walked into the Ministry New Years Party holding Maine's hand. This had never really been his thing, but it was New Years, and one of his resolutions had been to be more open-minded. He turned to his wife with a brief 'why am I here' expression.

"I'll go grab us some cha--something to drink." Something non-alcoholic. He had been about to say 'Champagne' but he was pretty sure he'd heard somewhere that women in Maine's condition weren't supposed to drink. But maybe he was wrong? "What would you like?"

He noticed his cousin out of the corner of his eye, and wondered why he hand't brought a date. Or maybe he had and she was in the loo. "Look, Manolo made it," he commented to Maine, who had met his younger cousin over the Christmas holidays.

It was strange yet exciting to be back in the Ministry of Magic. Atticus hadn't really been here since the day he had stepped down from his Department Head position, so it was neat to be back - and it felt somehow different, being here as a Board of Governor candidate instead of the Creature Department head. It was a nice different though, even if he still had to participate in another debate.

Speaking of which, he hoped this one would go better than the last one. Not that the previous one in Hogsmeade had gone badly since he did manage to avoid being in the bottom three, but he definitely had not been quite himself during that debate.

Hopefully this one would he would not go through that again, even if it meant this time he had to properly deal with his nerves.

Atticus decided he wouldn't think about that too much now, however. Right now, he should try to find someone to talk to. Perhaps one of his former employees if they were still here? Or...ah, wasn't that the woman who had been chosen as the new Magical Creatures Department Head? He was quite certain he recognized her as the one. No harm in asking, right?

"Ms. Wellington?" he asked as he walked towards her with a friendly smile.

"At least vhere's no dunk tank here to fear, eh?" Erik chimed in on his manager's and Nolan's conversation. He gave his fellow candidate a manly clap on the shoulder, which probably hit him harder than he'd intended it to, and winked. He could schmooze with the best of him...and it was even easier when the people he was running against were nerds like Nolan.

It seemed Erik wasn't the only one being distracted this evening. His gaze trailed Roxanne's over to the sombre looking man with a woman on his arm. Hmm, this could get interesting, he thought...

"Good for you," he replied simply, his mind whirring elsewhere even while he was talking to the blonde. "Not sure vhose idea it vas, but apparently the British Ministry doesn't know vhat a holiday is..." This sort of event should have been held on a Saturday, not a Monday. No one liked bloody Mondays.

Erik was well-trained in the art of spying, so much so that when he felt eyes on the back of his neck, he almost always knew who was staring at him. He felt the familiar hair-raising feeling now and turned his head, taking note of a suspicious character in round glasses and a dark hat. He was standing too close to their group for Erik's comfort.

"Excuse me, Roxanne, Nolan...Bjorn." He dismissed himself from the group with a bow of the head and started across the hall, seemingly going for the dining and seating area with his chin tilted up slightly and his eyes focused straight ahead.

Hardly on his way there, however, he made a too-close pass to the man in glasses and a hat. His pass turned into a bump...almost an intentional shove, if anyone had been watching...that should have knocked the smaller man over.

"Beg your pardon," he apologized immediately, stopping and feigning surprise at the sight of the dishevelled man. "I didn't see you there."

Manolo was scanning over the incoming crowd and locked eyes with someone familiar. AH! DEAREST COUSIN AND COUSIN-IN-LAW! Manolo flashed them a smile and a wave and waited for a sign that it was okay to interrupt.

Well, the turnout seemed to a little sparse so far, so hopefully more people would show up before too long. Ella was just about to migrate over to the seating area when she heard her name. Ella turned her head until she found the man that had spoken to her. "Yes, hello," she said with a small smile, wondering who this man was. He looked somewhat familiar. Was he a candidate? She admittedly hadn't been paying enough attention to the Board of Governor's thing, so she couldn't be sure

"And you are?" She asked hesitantly, but not in an unfriendly sort of way, extending her hand towards him.

No Idea where she was going and no idea what she was suppose to do. The young blonde knew NOTHING about the event she was invited to today or anyone that was in attendance.Chewing on her pen in which she suspiciously grabbed as she ran out of her house this morning she cleared her throat and stood a bit taller before.. wait WHY was she still chewing on her pen!? the twenty one year old shoved it in her blazer pocket cleared her throat once again and walked into the room which was buzzing with talking and so many people who were already conversing and catching up. she nodded her head to a few of them as she walked by. Was she the Youngest one in the ministry!? everyone seemed so much older.

He has practically have nothing else to do other than his work back in his work area but since this invitation was given, how could he refuse going to one of these. Besides, free food and mingling at parties? What's not to like really?!

Making his way into the entrance of the party. He stopped to look around for awhile. This should be a fun party.

Default Since this is after the Hogsmeade debate... Oh, and Lourdes is open for all. ^^
Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up

Ah yes, the annual New Year and after holiday welcoming celebration. Though Lourdes had only been to two of them, considering she only started in the Ministry last year, she had grown fond of it. The event was a lot of fun and she got to meet her employees, fellow department heads, and other Ministry workers whenever this time of the year came.

The only part of this event she was kind of not looking forward to was the Board of Governors debate. Yes a second debate for the candidates and this time, held and sponsored by the Ministry itself. Something went wrong during the Hogsmeade debate. Lourdes had been talking too much, and she didn't know the reason why until a light bulb in her head lit up. She had actually drank something spiked with some Babbling Beverage. What type of shenanigans would happen this time?

The department head walked inside the atrium ballroom. She had her usual smile, of course. She was going to be professional in here. "Good day, everyone," the woman greeted to no one in particular, but the greeting was for everyone in general. It was a good day, right?

It seemed like he hadn't been to England for a long time. Since he graduated from Hogwarts, Andrew and his family moved to America and never come back since there. He mostly worked in Asia and Oceania region until four years ago he came to French and being an Ambassador there. Wanted to get a new atmosphere, he tried to apply at Ministry of Magic in England and he was accepted as European Ambassador.

New Year's Bash and Hogwarts Board of Governors' candidate debate. Wow, he was already invited to their event even he hasn't worked there yet? He seemed enthusiast. But sadly, he couldn't come with his wife, Elena. She decided to stay in Paris until Christina finished her third year in Beauxbatons then moved to England. Walking through the Entrance, Andrew looked around and decided to find his boss first.

Making his way into the entrance of the party. He stopped to look around for awhile. This should be a fun party.
A new year's bash topped with a debate was what was on Livia's agenda for the evening. Having never visited the ministry before this night she followed close behind a man that looked like he knew where he was going.

At the last debate she had said and shared things with total strangers which she normally didn't do, and she had been quite eloquent too. It wasn't like her. Livia never ever spoke or divulged things about herself unless forced and even then she did it carefully. So her drin had been spiked.

Stopping at the entrance next to the man she had followed she gave him a friendly glance. "Hello, any idea when the debate will start?" Letting her eyes drift over the people mingling around she spotted her candidate in conversation with a beautiful brunette. Livia would go find him later for a chat. Smoothing out her red dress she wondered where exactly her date had gotten to. A date which she hadn't asked for.

Default
Gryffinclaw-Ravendor • The REAL Hermione Granger

Abigail smoothed out her coat before entering the impressive venue. Her hair hung loosely on her shoulders before she flicked it back. She smiled, after all the long awaited bash had arrived. She looked back at her handsome husband and her smile grew even bigger. She was happy he was with her, every new years that they were together Abby thought the her husband would probably avoid her in order to be sidelined by her new year resolutions. She DID have loads of new years resolutions for him, mainly to smile more and be more positive yet she did not want to shake up their marriage and had long learnt to let him be sour alone.

As she looked around the room she wondered who she would be working with. Who were on her level? She recognised some faces namely the BoG candidates whom she had seen at the debate and others she had seen on the news. Thankfully her husband was here with her though, it made her feel a bit more at home. She had completely underestimated the power of his presence although it was often sour.

"So Mr. Goodman, what should we do first?" Abby said to her husband in mock formality that oozed with love at the same time. "I wonder what food they are serving and which famous people are showing themselves today" It would be cool to be in contact with the minister or at least indirectly everyday.

Fabulous.

She. Looked. FABULOUS.

Except, that wasn't exactly anything new in the minds of this Magical Creatures employee. She knew that she was bound to look just as -- if not, more than -- attractive as some of the people that were here. But today, something inside of her was feeling warm and gentle so she could say that people looked nicer than usual.

... She was probably in a really good mood. Yes, that had to be it. Because, once again, she looked fabulous.

Amy's eyes flickered around, looking for a familiar face before settling itself on an archway. It was very detailed and quite a pretty archway, actually. Probably the Amy Lynch's of archways. Lots of people seemed to be filtering in through there so... she should make an entrance, yes? The brunette flicked her hair backwards and stood up straight, her signature smirk already spread across her face. She was ready. She was poised. She, Amy soon-to-be Leroy Lynch, was going to make her début entrance.

She strutted walked through the archway and stood there, looking around at everyone that were already there. Go easy on the pictures, yes?

"I'll go grab us some cha--something to drink." Something non-alcoholic. He had been about to say 'Champagne' but he was pretty sure he'd heard somewhere that women in Maine's condition weren't supposed to drink. But maybe he was wrong? "What would you like?"


He noticed his cousin out of the corner of his eye, and wondered why he hand't brought a date. Or maybe he had and she was in the loo. "Look, Manolo made it," he commented to Maine, who had met his younger cousin over the Christmas holidays.
Maine followed Leo into the room, probably more excited about the function than her husband. It was New Year's and it was a Ministry-wide celebration. Maine was tempted to invite her sister, but it appeared that she had plans with her healer friends. So when Leo shot her the look, Maine shook her head and inclined it towards the Minister.

"I'm fine,"
she shrugged, indicating that he could get her whatever drink he chose to. In the meantime, Maine saw a familiar figure out the corner of her left eye and after Leo had called him over, smiled in recognition.

It was Manolo. Beckoning him over, Maine smiled. "Good day, Manolo?" she asked. It was only afternoon, anyway. The day was young and it was unlikely that something had upset so happy a person this early in the day.

New years eve, bash.

It was only for Abby that Gabriel came to this thing. He wasn't crazy on meeting new people all the time, but sometimes he'd make the exception and this was one of those exceptions. He knew his wife was starting at a new work place and wanted to show he supported her even if her type of work didn't really interest him.

Taking his wife's arm he placed in on the sleeve of his tuxedo so that they could stick together. He didn't want to loose her in a place like this. The thought of being alone in this crowd was almost horrifying. Just like always he had a straight face as he eyed the people. Nothing out of the ordinary and if they didn't bother him he wouldn't bother them. Simple.

Mr Goodman. he secretly loved it when he's wife called him that. "Maybe we should do exactly that." Because he didn't want to mingle just yet. "I think the food table is somewhere over there." He pointed and then eyed the stage. Rather big, if you asked him.

Smirk for him. Smirk for her. Smirks for everyone! Because that was just how the 'Le King' rolled. SMIIIIIIRRRRK!....then Blink and stare.

Was that? ..Oh my word. His Amy looked *jaw drop* 'BOOTIFOOL!'

That entrance of her had him staring like a child staring at ice-cream on a hot summers day. She was just so gorgeous, she even made the archway look dull. You couldn't even compare the two and that archway was quite something, Amy was just obviously more. He couldn't help the staring, but he stared with a smirk, and to think she'd be ALL his soon. WIDER SMIRK! He's life was just absolutely perfect at the moment.

With class, Dartanian walked towards his Queen. When close enough he leaned in and gave her a quick, irresistible peck on her lips. People were watching right? and taking pictures too, right? Everyone could now see that she was soon to be his, and the engagement ring on her finger proved that.

"You look zo bootifool tonight, meh Queen." Wink and then some more smirking. "Shell we?" He then extended his right hand, which his watch was accessorized on, towards her hand so she could have his fingers intertwined with hers.
