*whistles innocently* "Come on, Lima Bean," Abigail Weather whispered to her friend as she snuck down the hallway towards Ben's office with a cake in her hands. She has been planning this day with Lima for a while now and she was ready to throw Ben Cobblesten a PARTY! Was today his real birthday? Probably not. She was just assuming today was her boss' birthday since she honestly didn't know and she didn't want to ask, because he might suspect a party coming on if she asked him. She stealthy looked around the area as she arrived at Ben's office door, making sure nobody was near. She didn't want anyone ruining this surprise! Holding the cake with one hand, she knocked on the door and took a step back. Hopefully, Ben was in his office. |
She couldn't help but roll her eyes at her friend as she stealthily made her way over to Ben's office. Really. They just had to give him a cake. And he probably wasn't even anywhere near this place. He was probably off somewhere being a good Department Head. Er, not that she would say that to Abs of course. Seeing that the woman was banking on him being in there. "Just don't drop the thing." Ben wouldn't like cake all over the floor in front of his office. |
Ben was not in a very good mood today. Usually he didn't care about his age too much, but when he woke up this morning and realized that he was FOURTY, as in 4-0, he was not very happy at all. He was now divorced and single and FOURTY! Who wanted to date a fourty year old divorcee? No one, that was the answer. He was at his desk in his office, flipping through employee files when he heard a knock at the door. Hmmm, who could that be? A messager coming to inform him that he was an old grandpa now? He would not be surprised. Sighing, he got up from behind his desk and opened to door to find Abigail and Lima standing out there. Abby was holding an elaborately decorated cake in front of him, and suddenly he felt all happy and bouncy inside. They had remembered! And that cake looked so YUMMY! "Oh my--what a surprise!" he exclaimed with a grin. "You remembered it was today? How thoughtful!" |
WHOA. It was actually his birthday today? It was pretty freaky seeing as she didn't remember ever hearing when his birthday was. Not that she would let him know that. "Of course we remembered," she replied with a wide smile and a tone that suggested that he had been silly to think that they had forgotten. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Now lets eat some cake. |
Abigail tilted her head and looked towards Lima. "I'm not going to drop it," she exclaimed. "I'm capable of holding a cake without dropping it." She rolled her eyes, then turned her attention back to the door. Oh, wait! She almost forgot to light the candles on the cake. Still holding the cake with one hand (AND making sure she wouldn't drop it), she pulled her wand out of her side pocket and pointed it at the 4 candles that were scattered around the cake. She muttered a little spell and each candle lite up. Yay! As soon as she placed her wand back in her pocket, the door in front of her opened. You remembered it was today? was the only thing that her brain comprehended. Wait...TODAY WAS HIS BIRTHDAY. Keeping her jaw from dropping, she nodded her head. He looked happy, why would she ruin his happiness and say they just guessed today was his birthday? "Of course we remembered today was your birthday," she told Ben. She paused for a moment and then added, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEN!" Hehe. |
Cat shuffled through the hallway to her new boss' office. Biting her lip and chanting what to say, she opened the door a crack and looked through, to see some people there who was offering him some cake. Thank Merlin she was right about his birthday. Sighing with relief, she opened the door fully and sucked in a breath as the heads swirled to see her near the door. |
Erm...right..it's still his birthday! :D "You're all so sweet," Ben said with a smile. "Come inside and we can eat up!" he exclaimed. He walked over to his desk and pulled out a fork and a gigantic knife--hey, a guy had the urge to eat in his office every once in a while, ok? As he was cutting up the cake muggle style, he noticed someone walk in. Hmm, wasn't that a new employee? "Come on in!" he said to the new girl. The more the merrier! "Who might you be?" he asked with interest. |
Dora sent up a memo that played the Hapy Birthday tune when opened and set off fireworks also. It read: Quote:

"Your present." she said, and added, "getting older, huh boss?" Then she composed herself, straightening up. "Nice to meet you everyone, my name is Catastrophe Kerr and an employee here." 'Duh! Of course you work here stupid!' Catastrophe whispered in her head as she faked a grin. |
Katy made her way to Ben's office, she needed to find out what was going on in level 3 and she figured she may as well start at the top. She had always liked Ben, and was very happy with her placement as liason to his department. She hoped he would understand her long absence...never again would she mix lack of sleep and lazy spellwork, however she was now quite familiar with St. Mungo's. She knocked on the door to his office and awaited a reply. |
I'm late! Sowwy xD Quote:
Ben looked up when he heard a knock on the door, and quickly wandered over to the door to open it, rather than just yelling for whoever it was to come in. "Ahh, Katy! Good to see you again!" he said happily, grinning when he saw that his liasion was at the door. He opened it wider so that she could wander into the office. "Come on in and have a seat. Cup of tea?" he asked, pointing to the kettle that was floating in midair next to his desk. |
Quote:
"I'm sorry I have been absent from the department for so long, I took ill and had a long recovery at St. Mungo's. However, now, I'm feeling up to par except I am sadly behind in work at the Ministry! Is there anything important that I missed recently with the World Cup or anything else?" |

"I'm so glad you're back, though--and I'm all ready to fill you in on what is going on," he said with a grin, leaning back in his chair and folding his arm. "Bascially, my Muggle Worthy Excuse Committee, Invisibility Task Force AND Experimental Charms Committee are all finished with their tasks for the cup. Experimental Charms and the Task Force are waiting for the construction of the pitch to progress a bit more, so they can go to the site and place the protective spells and charms they've created on the field and surronding area." he explained. |

She shifted in her chair and took a sip out of her tea, "I was recently given the tickets for the Quidditch World Cup that are for sale for 5 galleons a piece. I was told to distribute some to you so you could help circulate the tickets in our department. The only thing is, I need a list of all the people who purchase these tickets for the big drawing we will be having for box seats for somebody's entire family!" She handed a stack of tickets to Ben: http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...qwcrafaa-1.jpg |

"I'm actually thinking of having a meeting in the near future, and I'll bring it up as one of the points," he explained, making a note on a nearby piece of parchment of what he wanted to cover. Unfortunately, some of the stuff on there was NOT very positive but, it had to be addressed ASAP. "Is there anything else you needed to know?" he asked Katy with a smile. |
