| | Department of Magical Education Head's Office Department of Magical Education Ronald Jacob Rider The first thing people notice as they come in to this office is that, from top to bottom, it is a neat mess of relics and souvenirs from all over the world yet it does not resemble an antique store or a storage hourse. The neutral green wallpaper (which, on closer inspection, is actually not solidly green but rather many different shades thrown in together in very small flakes) and dark parquet floor give the room a slightly tropical feeling and that is the most dominant feature of the room.
In the middle of the room is situated a big mahogany desk; the surface of which is covered in dark green felt and usually many papers. Two comfortable looking brown chairs are placed before it for visitors and behind it is another armchair, dark green in colour, on which the Department Head is usually sitting.
The room is very brightly lit due to the window on the right wall which takes up about half of the wall. Opposite it there is a huge bookcase, rows upon rows of books, neatly labeled and organised. The section closer to the table is dedicated to all the books on Education while the one towards the back of the room, behind the desk, is filled with muggle books of all kinds.
On the desk are multiple photographs of a teenage girl as well as a dog, a cat and an owl, all framed with gold coloured wood. Just an arm's reach away from the table there is situated one big, wooden filing cabinet, where information about all the workers is placed.
Please remember to knock before entering as Jake might be holding a super secret meeting. But, even so, he tries to maintain the open door policy the ex-Head had enforced so do not worry about disturbing him - he is always at your service! Just... Knock. Please. The 'open door' policy isn't literal.
After much debate, Jake has decided to keep the door open at all times. The change has been brought about so that he could make sure his employees are working seem more approachable to everyone. |

Gretta strolled out of the Examination Offices swaying freely in her usual dark set of robes that flowed and shaped her middle aged body well. Combing her fingers through her hair, she waited for the lift to arrive and glanced nonchalantly down the corridor examining the hallway, which she never took the time to observe. "WAIT. A. MINUTE," her pronunciation was accompanied by her exasperation from what she was seeing. "Rider's been promoted," she blinked at the plaque outside the door and stared befuddled. The lift had arrived behind her, but her body moved mechanically away from soft operator's voice and towards the Depart Head Office. "That little banter was totally unnecessary ," she spoke to herself in the corridor slowly inching her way to Jake's new space remembering their first encounter. She watched J.J enter his office uninvitedly without knocking and muttered "rude" under her breathe as she stood outside the space wondering what she would say to him.
"Congratulation Jake," she practiced thinking over their entire conversation and rehearsing her positivity and mannerism before the true show down. "Oh Merlin," she sighed tapping her foot on the ground franticly yet primping herself to appeal refreshed and professional. It was after all, the end of the day. Her mind was racing. Jumping from her ridiculous first encounter to the now vacant position as a Division Head. "Imagine," she eyed his old office door with her name on it and pouted childishly knowing the possibility was slim to nothing. But Gretta knew despite her abrasive actions, she'd do well in the position but first thing was first, turning a new leaf. "Bottoms up," she knocked bitting her lip and holding her chin in her hand pondering the possibilities and the turn out with speaking to him.
She waited for the words patiently and hoped that his 'Come in' tone would be just as pleasant as she envisioned . Yet, it would all change once he saw whom his guest was.

Wandering towards the office of the new Head of Education, Emma took a deep breath. She'd never met this person before, but wanted to tell him a congratulations, and tell him that she was ready to help the Department in any way. Emma steeled herself, then knocked at the door.

| PHILOMATH ❅ not one atom, but two ♪ ♪ made of starstuff ❅ def main(): New office... Wow.
Jake flopped into his seat behind the ever so familiar mahogany table, eying his handiwork with pride. True, it had taken him AGES to set up the office, but he was happy to see that it had been worth it. He hadn't been in the other Head's offices but he was certain that they looked nothing like his.
Content, he swiveled to face the desk with the paperwork in it and blanched just a tad. It was all very nice that he was now Dept. Head, and got a nice little bump in the salary, but it meant even more work for him. ... Eh, he could handle it. Quote:
Originally Posted by Jason Potter Weasley " Jake, congratulations on yoru new job" J.J. Starr told him. " I will tell you what I told Samantha, I am here to help you with everything" Joe Jon Montcenaggio told Jake. Aaaaaaand... first visitor. Who hadn't knocked. Hmmm. "Thank you, J.J," Jake said with a smile, nodding towards the man as he straightened up in his chair. "But, er, next time, would you mind knocking? I promise to let you in, but right now as I get started, I'd like to be able to make the decision of whether to let people in or not," he stated, gesturing towards said door. As he did so, his eyes glanced past the dreaded letterbox which was filling up at an abnormal rate.
Figures... He'd get the Head position just as something bad happens at Hogwarts. Quote:

Smiling as he heard two more sets of knocks on the door, he grinned over at J.J and then cleared his throat. "Come in!" he called, straightening the collar of his shirt and wondered who was behind the door. Please don't let it be Lucy... He couldn't deal with her right now.

She heard the words "come in," and straightened herself up thinking his voice didn't sound agitated, which gave her a pinch of relief. She glanced to left at the woman who had also knocked after her and nodded as if she was an accomplice in a secret mission and that they could speak paragraphs between each other through slick glances. With one deep breath, Gretta twisted the door knob and entered the threshold keeping the door ajar for the woman behind her. Hoping his expression didn't completely alter at her arrival, maybe if he saw the woman behind her he'd be forced to uphold his cheerful attitude.
"Congratulations Mr.Rider," she spoke midway into the room, graciously glancing at the decor and furniture filling the space. "Quite lovely," she complimented keeping her attitude in check and making her way closer to where he was seated. Although her exterior was displaying a cordial mannered woman, her insides were bubbling with anticipation. Deciding not speak much being afraid of talking and allowing her thoughts to fumble out of her brain, she instead marveled the room smiling, just as she had practiced before hand.

"Sorry Jake. I made a mistake of not knocking on your door" J.J. Starr told him. " I promise to knock next time" Joe Jon Montcenaggio told him. " Sorry again, I am use to Samantha letting everyone in without knocking" J.J. Starr said to Jake. " Thanks for letting me help with the magical education probelms or whatever" he told him.

Thanking her for holding the door with a small nod and another smile, Emma crossed the threashold after her, making sure the door didn't slam behind her. Noticing that another person she recognised was in the room, Emma gave another brief smile in JJ Stars direction, before turning to face her new Head. "Mr Rider," she began politely. "First, I just want to say, 'Congratulations' on getting this post. I'm Emma Flamel, and I work in the Education Commite. Also, I know that we've never actually spoken before, but I'd like you to know that I'm ready to help this department in any way possible." Emma finished with a smlie.

Not daring to speak until spoken to, Gretta listened to each of the two other Education employees speak and replayed each comment in her mind hoping they'd make sense. But they didn't! As a facilitator of the Magical Education Office, it was Emma Flamel's duty to work hard and support the Head of Department's judgement and decisions. The staff would do as told or otherwise be dismissed. In Gretta's mind, offering one's assistance to accompany him was obligatory and unnecessary. It was simply expected. And with J.J's statement, was it really necessary for thanking their boss for letting them work with him? "Problems or whatever," she asked J.J keeping her face even pushing away her true thoughts from showing. "If you don't mind, could you elaborate. I'm just curious," she crossed her ankles folding her arms over her chest with a slight upward curve at the corner of her mouth.

Starr explained to Gretta.

Lucy was too pale when she walked in Jake's new office. Yes, because now Jake was the new Department Head, something he certainly had forgotten to tell her at the time of their breakup. Now, she didn't have the time to think about it. Eva's small telegram brought by the girl's owl had scared her and she only had time to rush into her ex-boyfriend's office, not to greet him or wish him good luck like she probably would have done, but to show him the small piece of parchment she was holding in her hand. "Jake, I think something is very, very wrong at Diagon Alley. Leaky Cauldron, people and death..." she was not making much sense like that, so she threw the parchment to his table. "Read it." she said in a hoarse voice as she tried to breath slow. Quote: Luce. Problem. Leaky Cauldron. Now. I think somebody died. Be here, fast. |

Deciding not speak much being afraid of talking and allowing her thoughts to fumble out of her brain, she instead marveled the room smiling, just as she had practiced before hand. Oh. It was her. Great. "Thank you, Ms. Amerie," Jake nodded towards the woman who strode into his office and began inspecting observing it's contents. There was just something he didn't really like about that woman, and no amount of pleasantries were going to change that.
Unless, of course, she'd undergo a complete change of heart - being less like a stuck up pursed-lipped teacher and more like Rachel's insane friend or something. But, somehow, Jake could not see that happening. Quote:
Originally Posted by Jason Potter Weasley "Sorry Jake. I made a mistake of not knocking on your door" J.J. Starr told him. " I promise to knock next time" Joe Jon Montcenaggio told him. " Sorry again, I am use to Samantha letting everyone in without knocking" J.J. Starr said to Jake. " Thanks for letting me help with the magical education probelms or whatever" he told him. "It's ok, J.J - I am aware that Samantha used the literal 'open door' policy meaning, and I probably will in the future but for now just stick to knocking," he smiled reassuringly towards the man who was apologising to him. Honestly, people like J.J didn't really need to knock - the rule was more for people like Amerie and some unwanted visitors...
And as much as he would have liked to write up a list of who was to come in without knocking, it would most likely not be the most professional thing to do and therefore Jake refrained from doing so.
It would however, be extremely amusing to see Amerie's face if she ever saw a sign that stated her name specifically under 'People who must knock'. Jake's lips twitched slightly at the thought, and he turned back his attention to his next visitor. Quote:

"It's nice to meet you, Ms. Flamel. And thank you, I sure hope that you are ready - we have busy times ahead of us and I'm going to need everyone's help," Jake smiled towards one of the newest employees of the department, reminiscing his own first days here.
Of course, he had already known Samantha and so wasn't as nervous as some people might be yet he had still been intimidated.
Lost in his memories, he hardly noticed as Amerie and J.J began to verbally argue right up until J.J said 'O.W.Ls'. "Erm, J.J, Gretta, could you two please-" he began, rubbing the bridge of his nose tiredly when suddenly the door burst open yet again. He was just about to growl at the newcomer to knock when he recognised the blonde lady that ran towards him.
Lucy was here. Quote:

Jake paled as soon as he saw the expression on his ex-girlfriend's face. "What? What is it?" he let out, speaking over her words until she mentioned death. "DEATH?!" he exclaimed and all but snatched the piece of parchment off his desk. Reading the note quickly, he felt his eyes pop open as thousands of possible situations of what he might find at the Leaky ran through his head.
Yet only only one thought managed to stay in his head for more than a fraction of a second - thank Merlin Rachel's in LA. "All right everyone - out you go," he stated clearly, talking to all the people who were in the office, motioning to Lucy with his eyes that this didn't include her. "Please, if you have anything you wish to discuss, feel free to drop by later when things aren't so hectic."

Lucy shook her head. "I don't think that's a good idea." she replied still the same hoarse voice as she fell on the soft chair in front of Jake's desk. She was panicing and freaking out torwards the idea of Eva witnissing someone's death. The girl had lived side-by-side with death for too long, just like she had, which was one of the reasons why she coulld to the girl.
And she needed someone to talk to about her feelings and the rollarcoster of emotions that was her heart in that especific moment... she just didn't think Jake could be that person, reaosn why it was so surprising when she talked again: "I don't know.. I shouldn't be freaking out, but I'm scared. From what I read, she was there when someone was murdered. Was it another student, was it an employee or a Ministry worker? Awwww! I don't know! It could have been her, for Merlin's sake." she had to calm down and walk away fast, otherwise she didn't know how she could regain her composure, especially Jake being her boss.
But what if it had been Eva?

"Word in the Ministry is that is was a Professor from Hogwarts, though the name hasn't been released yet," she glanced over her shoulder to the flustered woman who spoke breathlessly and glanced at Jake whom had also turned an unattractive color as well. "Oh ho ho," she chuckled making an assumption and rolling her eyes at the thought. Lifting herself from the seat and inching hesitantly towards the door, "Jake," she'd said his first name out loud for the the first time, " seeing that such unpleasant news has arrived on your desk, I won't indulge on my usual antagonizing gestures. But it's just something about you," she added softly still chuckling at the expressions worn on the woman and her bosses face.
She stopped a short distance away from J.J and whispered, " don't take my questioning wrong. I was only curious," she shrugged raising an eyebrow and smiling pleasantly as she continued her stride towards the exit. She turned on her heel gracefully before exiting the room and spoke nonchalantly, " seeing as your work load has tripled, you'll know where I'll be Rider if you need assistance," she indicated towards the Examination Authority offices. "Let us hope we put aside our prejudice of each other and work professionally together. Not for the sake of ourselves," she added with a smirk puckering her lips together, "but for the well being of the Ministry. With Hogwarts being in such a mess, the Education Department is surely to be working extended hours. All the more, wishing you luck....," she paused and peered at the woman who stood there looking distraught, " not only with work but your other endeavors." She rolled her eyes as she faced away from her boss and patted the woman on her shoulder encouragingly but with a feeling of pity. "By the way, I've sent the graded Transfiguration O.W.L markings off and the students should have received them by now."
Before allowing anyone to respond to her, she swung the door open and kindly smiled over her shoulder to each beaming face that looked in her direction. With one more smirk, she nodded and closed the door behind herself not to hard, but with a sense of pride.

Having exited the office before, when Mr. Rider had asked her too, Emma had actually been quite scared. Death? That was somwthing you heard a lot, it happened to everyone, eventually. But not in the Leaky Couldron. That wasn't something you generally spoke about. Nuh-uh.
She'd stayed out of the way, though. And because Mr. Rider had told them to come back later, Emma was back. She had to tell him about her new position at the Daily Prophet. Sad as she was to be leaving the Education department, Emma was excited, and she knocked softly.

| PHILOMATH ❅ not one atom, but two ♪ ♪ made of starstuff ❅ def main(): There was WAY too much to do at this time of year. Jake looked absolutely exhausted as he stared at the two piles on his desk, unable to decide which one of them was worse. The pile on his left - the smaller one - or the pile on his right, which was so high he had charmed it to stay up. The one to his left were all the documents that he had completed, and the ones on the right... Ugh, it was too depressing to even think about.
Speaking of depressing... His eyes drew towards the picture on his table of a young teenage girl, and he got that jolting feeling in his stomach once again as he thought of her. Rachel, his niece, was going through a rough patch right now and he couldn't help but be worried sick. She wasn't sleep, barely eating, crying all the time and now she was off at Hogwarts, were she could draw even further into herself since that school was so large, she could make herself inconspicuous. His one small source of comfort was that she was a Prefect and even Rachel's superb hiding skills would not help her since the Ravenclaws would notice if their prefect was suddenly gone.
At least, he hoped they would. The girl was even alienated from her best friend and it killed him that he didn't know why.
Two sudden knocks at the door pulled him out of his musings and he arranged his expression into one of pleasantness, moving the bigger pile to the floor so that he had more space on his desk. "Come in!" he called out, hoping that whoever was there would not come bearing any bad news. He didn't think he would be able to handle it.

Pushing the door open, Emma stepped hesitantly into the office. Although she was excited, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and a little wary. She'd loved this job, yet somehow she had known it wasn't right for her. She didn't know how, she just did. Smiling as she took another step towards MR Riders desk, Emma took a deep breath before opening her mouth. "Well, hello again Mr. Rider. How are you?" she began. Politeness always came first, Emma had been brought up beleiving in the fact. She hoped that her ex-boss was alright, that he'd been fine after the death in the Leaky Cauldron. "I'm coming to resign," Emma eventually added, a little hurridly. It was weird saying this. Her very first job, and she was resigning! "I've been offered a place on the News Desks for the Daily Prophet. However much I loved my job here, I've decided to accept. I'm truly sorry." For Emma was sorry. She didn't want Mr. Rider to be implicated by her leaving, hated the feeling that she might be letting the department down.

She didn't want Mr. Rider to be implicated by her leaving, hated the feeling that she might be letting the department down. "Oh, hi Emma," Jake smiled at his young employee, wondering what could be on her mind. Maybe she was worried about the werewolves in the school too and had come to ask something. To be perfectly honest, Jake preferred it like this rather than in those horrid owls he had been receiving. At least when you talk to a person face to face you have to worry about spitting and bursting people's eardrums.
Unlike with howlers - they just burst eardrums and don't ask questions about it either. "Resign?" he repeated, unsure if that was indeed what he had heard. Great - now Samantha was gone people would resign because they hated him and- "Oh. Well, er, congratulations," Jake blinked and then smiled warmly, since she had an excellent excuse for leaving him. "Don't be sorry - it's nothing personal. Good luck there and I look forward to seeing your name in print on the next Daily Prophet issue," he smiled and nodded, holding up the most recent one he had - the one that depicted the werewolf attacks. He fought to keep the smile on his face and not sigh yet again at the sight of just how much work he had to do. Quote:

"Come in," he called, wondering if maybe he should bring back Samantha's open door policy. True, at first it was nice to have his door shut so that it was silent in the office but he realised that being a department Head required more visitors...
Ok, then. Door remains open. "And leave the door open behind you," he added to whoever it was.

Wating Mr. Riders face fall, Emma felt guilty. She hadn't mean to let him down, and could tell what he was feeling. Having someone leave after you've just started in a post must be horrible, and although she'd never felt the feeling before, Emma could understand how it would feel. God. The little girl, full of innocence and honesty in Emma was coming out, and she felt guilty.
But then Mr. Riders face switched to a warm smile , and for a moment Emma felt confused. She had never been that adept at the way people changed emotions so quickly, in the same way she couldn't understand why people would lie. But Mr. Riders smile seemed genuine, and she felt the warmth. "Thank you, for - well, understanding, and that," she said, returning his warm smile. She blushed when he held up the Daily Prophet, and smoothed down the creases in her skirt. "Well, I'll be leaving you now," Emma said with another smile. "I'll be leaving you now, so good luck for the furture. You'll hold a great department." Smiling once more, Emma made her way to the door, giving a little wave to Mr. Rider as she left.

Wondering who had the lovely sense of timing to come visit him at this time, he opened the door and saw his old employee standing there. "Oh, hi J.J - come on in," Jake opened the door wider and moved out of the way to let the man in. "What can I do for you?" he asked as soon as he had sat back down behind his desk. Well, the coffee could wait - right? Right. Jake almost sighed and leaned back in his chair, expectantly waiting for an answer
