"Oh, Miss Griengoth, what a pleasant surprise! We would most definitely enjoy your company..." Craig gulped.

For awhile it was just him and Miss Greingoth, but soon Megan filed in. His felt a weight lifted. "Ah, Megan, always good to see you I can't wait to hear your ideas, I have one myself," Craig said as he clutched a little leather pouch. "Would anyone like a refreshment or pastry before we get started?"

He pointed to the table with a fancy little cappucino machine and the usual delectable pastries from his father's shop. "Nothing like caffeine and sugar to get the day going," he laughed cheerfully.

"Thank you, Craig. I'm pleased to be in your company, as well," Bella replied. Each and every time she met with Craig, he was always polite and a joy to be around. He was a hardworker and was always going above and beyond what was expected of him, so she was happy to have him on board. "A refreshment, hmm? I believe I'd love some refreshments. Much appreciated, Craig!" She headed over to the table and grabbed a bit to eat and drink, then once again took a seat. "I'm excited to hear your ideas for the Floo Network, Craig. You know, many important people will be relying on this network to get to and from the Quidditch World Cup. Have you thought of something efficient, yet safe and secure?"

She noticed Bella and smiled, then took a seat. "Ah hello Craig, Mrs.Greingoth; I have some interesting ideas for the transportation of our special guests for the Quidditch World Cup" She said quite proudly.

When the door to the conference room opened, Bella glanced up and noticed that Megan, one of the longtime employees in the Floo Network Authority, had walked in. She smiled at the woman, the pushed a few pieces of paperwork to the side do that she could concentrate on the ideas Megan spoke of. "Do you really? That's excellent, Megan!" Bella replied, anxious to hear what she'd come up with. "Why don't you share some of those ideas with us?"

She sat down on the chair he'd pulled out for her and declined to his offer of pastries and the likes (it was too early in the morning for her sweet tooth to come kicking through..).

No-one was putting across any idea's so she thought she'd start the discussion.

"Having only just started here, I'd like to say hello to you all. I'm sure we'll all get along great and work hard together," she looked around the room for a nice gesture. Nothing came.

"My first thought on the floo network this year is or should be everyone's first priority; safety. I think our first port of call is to make sure that one: Our fire places are safe to use and two: The floo powder people buy is the real thing! I've been known to buy a dodgy batch, which turned out to be sand. Much to my dismay.."

After chatting away Selena immediately thought she'd maybe thrown too much in. Hoping she hadn't come across too bossy, she waited for the next person to reply.

"Ahh, yes! Selena, it's nice to have finally met you in person. I'm Mrs. Bella Greingoth, the head of level six. We're glad to have you on board," she said, putting aside her refreshments for a moment to properly greet her new employee. She listened as Selena shared her ideas, nodding in all the right places to indicate she understood what was being suggested. "Wonderful suggestions, Selena! Would you mind making a note of those, so either Craig or myself can look into them?" she requested.

"As for today, we need to discuss our ideas for the upcoming Quidditch World Cup. I'm sure Craig's been on top of things and told you all about it. Your job in the Floo Network Authority is to create a safe, secure, and efficient floo network for players, officials, and Ministers for Magic to travel to and from the game," she said. "We've got a few weeks left to plan for this, then we'll need to implement what we've planned."

Selena smiled at Mrs. Greingoth. "Thank you!"

She began to think that maybe Mrs. Greingoth didn't really like her idea, but safety was important!

"Yes Mrs. Greingoth, I'll note these down for future reference." said Selena.

She had a mind blank. Couldn't think of any suggestions for the time being. Maybe if someone else did she could further elaborate.

"I hope it's alright to well...as the muggles put it, 'Get down to business'," Craig said cheerfully. "Again, I am very happy to have each and everyone of you here. Before we get to your sure to be wonderful ideas, I would like to start with an invention of my own..." He went to the other side of the room, away from everyone else.

Craig took out his pouch, inside it contained an object simliar to a dice and some sparkly green powder. He took out the dice and rolled on the floor. He took out his wand and spoke, "Incendia Evanui!" and then a stone platform appeared, where the dice once was. He put his wand in his jacket and stood on the plat form, he reached in the pouch and out some of the sparkly green dust. "Outside the Floo Office!" he shouted as he threw the dusk on the platform. Green Flames incircled him and he appeared outside the Floo Powder office and walked through the door, returning to his fellow employees. The platform had vanished and he smiled widely very proud of himself.

"Portable Floo Fireplaces," Craig said holding up the pouch. "It's the way of the future for all those uncomfortable, young or too weak to apparate. I think it would be excellent to keep things private for the Quidditch Cup! What do you think?" His fellow employees opinions mattered a lot to him. This was something he was very proud of and had worked really hard on it. But, if they had other and better ideas, he would be happy to hear it.

xtina_91 · 09-25-2009, 12:16 PM

Selena watched Craig walk across to a corner in the room with a bemused expression on her face. What was he going to do?

He pulled out some objects from his robes and chanted a rather odd sounding spell. Suddenly he appeared at the door of the office.

"Wow!" she thought. "How on earth did he do that?!"

Mr. Wickham explained his idea.

"Bravo Mr. Wickham, that was brilliant!" shouted Selena, a bit too excitedly. "After all these years of wizarding and someone has only just come up with this!"

It really was a great idea.

"Well thank you very much Miss Dauntilon," Craig said proudly. "I think this will be an excellent contribution to the department." Craig held up the pouch, then tossed it on the table in front of them for them to observe.

"We, personally would have to distribute them to make sure they arrive safely to each Minister and Official, and we can even customize each pouch to the person's liking. It can even attack to your belt, like a wand holster!"

Craig decided to sit back down, he was getting ahead of himself. He seemed to have at least one person interested, but this was going to have to be a team effort. Plus, he still wanted to hear the other employees ideas. Perhaps they had something better or had ideas of improvements.

Anna Banana · 10-03-2009, 07:34 PM

Bella smiled politely at Selena, hoping the woman didn't take offense to the way she'd changed the topic so quickly. She really did love Selena's ideas, but Bella was visiting today to see if assistance was needed with the Quidditch World Cup, so she needed Craig to discuss all other ideas with the employees. She sat back in her chair and listened as several of them discussed Craig's brilliant idea. "Craig! You never cease to amaze me, and I think that's a brilliant idea, as well!" Bella exclaimed.

"Well it seems like everything is under control here," Bella said, grabbing a few pieces of paper she'd been taking notes on and placing them neatly into her briefcase. "I'm going to pay your co-workers in the other divisions a little visit now to see how they're coming along and to see if they can use my assistance in any way. I'll be around if any of you need me."

She turned to leave but stopped when she reached the door. "Oh, and don't forget that the final plans are due to me in my office in twelve days. I have a meeting to attend soon, and I'm meant to have the final plans with me, so please make sure to keep the deadline in mind," she politely said. "Have a nice day!" As she walked out, the sound of her click-clacking heels could be heard as she made her way down the long hallways in the office.

OOC: I believe a few other departments (such as Maintenance and Security) have the task of working at the Floo Network site at the QWC, so if we could make sure people are still flooing into one particular spot, that'd be great!

MoviegoerKinz · 10-08-2009, 12:20 AM

"Thank you Miss Greingoth for your valuable time," Craig said pretty cheerfully. He was very proud of his new little invention and his mind was racing with ideas of what to do to make it even better! Craig waved as Miss Greingoth left the office and turned to his employees.

"So, I'm thinking we could market this in the Daily Prophet. We can also work on pouch designs..." Craig was looking to the ceiling, pondering other ideas, "And I know this is a bit of stretch...but floo powder and green flames are so 20th century, we need to make way for the 21st century and I'm thinking..." he waved his hands in the air as if pointing to a giant billboard, "Colored Flames!"

Craig calmed down a bit and took in a big breath,"What do you guys think?"

J.J. Starr walked in the office. "Sorry to interrupt sir" J,J. Starr told the department head. " Bella asked me to help you with The Quidditch World Cup" Joe Jon Montcenaggio told him. " I am Joe Jon Montcenaggio but everyone calls me J. J. Starr" he said to him.

"Oh well it's very nice of you to stop by Mr. Starr," Craig said as he shook the man's hand. "We were discussing ideas...and I came up with Portable Floo Fireplaces, or P.F.F.s, as I like to call them. I proposed we work on marketing them for the World Cup and different pouches, perhaps in the Daily Prophet. Also, I was thinking of changing the color of Floo Flames, green is a thing of the past, perhaps we could add a little team spirit and have the flames change colors of the two final teams at the match!" Craig had more and more ideas popping in his head the more he spoke.

Craig hoped he had everything up to speed. The man before him looked as though he meant no funny business. "But, as always I am completely all ears for new ideas?!"

Jason Potter Weasley · 10-17-2009, 07:27 AM

" I do not know about better ideas" J.J. Starr told Craig. " I will help in wht endeavor you are doing now for the World Quittich Cup" joe Jon Montcenaggio said to Craig. " I am ready to sstart immediately" he told him.

A few seconds later, a little charmed paper airplane twisted and turned its way through the Floo Network Authority. It flew in between Annabell, Raven, and J.J. then turned around and landed just in front of Craig. It opened itself, and the following message was displayed:

Quote:

Employees of the Floo Network Authority,

This letter is just a reminder that your plans for the Quidditch World Cup are due on (OOC time) October 31st. On that day, I will hold a level-wide meeting in the conference room in which you'll need to present your final plans. Please have everything planned out and ready to go by that date.

You are doing such a wonderful job, and as I always tell you---I have some of the best employees in the Ministry of Magic working right here with me!

Mrs. Bella Montez-Greingoth
Magical Transportation Department Head

Melanie knocked on the door and stepped inside looking for Craig. She was worried, and her face showed it.

"Umm...okay!" Craig said excitedly. Stuff was actually about to get done. "Well, I will have to pitch the idea to Miss Greingoth and then we can work on things like maybe advertising in the Daily Prophet or something? I think Miss Greingoth also mentioned we would have to make contact with the Quidditch officials and the Foreign Ministers of Magic...but, I guess we won't know until after we know who's in the running..." Craig heard a knock at the door, "Um...excuse me for a moment..."

"We're in a meeting..." he shouted as he went to crack open the door, "Oh, Melanie, hi! What's going on? Is it Selene?" Craig went in a sudden panic as he saw the look on her face. "Are you okay?" He stepped out of his office and stood in the doorway.

"I..." Melanie finally realised she had interrupted something big, she smiled, a little crooked smile of embarrassment " Selene is fine honey I just needed to talk about something" what did I have in mind? This could have waited until later no? The image of Dora's marked face came to her mind again, she flinched lightly. " Hm, never mind, I'll talk to you at home, go on, continue your work" she added with a stronger smile kissing him on the cheek. "I'll go now" she added and waved to the people in the room, silently leaving.

A paper airplane flies into the room and comes to a rest on your desk, unfolding and smoothing out to reveal...

"Everyone, I am selling raffle tickets to get a seat at the World Cup Quiiditch Cup" J.J. Starr told them. " They are only 5 galleons" joe Jon Montcenaggio told them. " The game features All-Stars from the Quidditch teams" J.J. explained to all.
