The Seating Area

What kind of Ball wouldn't have a place for the plethora of guests to sit and mingle? The Ministry has set up a large grouping of round tables surrounded by matching chairs that surround the dance floor and all face the stage. White table clothes and classy center pieces of wildflowers cover each table and create a welcoming feeling. The seating area is the perfect place to rest your feet after a spell of dancing or to watch as the Ministry awards upstanding members of the Wizarding World for their efforts against the fallen Cult of Walpurgis. So come on, find a seat and either eat some of the delicious food or chat with a friend or new acquaintance.

"I guess we're one of the first here, honey."Melissa told her husband, James. "I guess we have a choice of where to sit," she laughed with him. "Let's just sit here. Hopefully, everyone will show up soon."

Katrina took a seat at a table, feeling a bit... lost? No, it was confused. She was confused as to why she was here when she had barely contributed to anything at all. She was also confused as to why she had appeared to the ball completely dateless. Honestly, would it have killed her to look for a date before coming? Honestly? Probably. No. She was going to be an independent woman and watch everyone have fun. Besides, no use going home now, her sister was with her father and everything and she would do nothing to disturb the daughter-father bonding time her younger sister needed. Right, so she'd sit here, wait, and watch to see if anyone would join her, that seemed perfectly reasonable, right? Of course.

Aubrie sat down at a table by herself. Why couldn't she be a cheerful bubbly person who went around and introduced her to everyone as soon as she got to the ministry? Her people skills were exceptionally good, at least good enough to get her a liason job for her department. Plus she had helped bring down the Cult, that counted for something didn't it. Well the truth was that she would probably be sitting at this table all by herself, lonely the whole entire night, and she would have to deal with it.

Vicky made her way in. She didn't know everybody just yet but decided to take a seat. She saw a young lady sitting by herself and headed over to say hello."Hi, do you mind if I sit here? I'm Victoria." she said quietly.

She didn't want to surprise the girl so she spoke in hush tones.

Dacs made her way in and headed toward the sitting area. She saw a familiar face abd decided to say hello. She strode over to where the Transport employee sat. When she got close enough she said,"Hey. Katrina right? I remember you from the Apparition fiasco. How are you?" with a charming smile and her hand in her pocket. "Is this sea taken?"

Adele sat down at one of the tables, taking extra care not to fall backward or trip or do anything else that would embarrass her or put her or her unborn child in any sort of danger. "Are you coming William?" She called out to her husband impatiently. "I am soo starved! I can't wait to eat." She groaned, small grumbling noises coming from her stomach.

Entering the ballroom with her husband, her eyes still shined in laughter about possibly getting him on the dance floor. She totally couldn't see him doing that, but she might be lucky. She did know him to be a fine dancer, but a little shy about it. Her hand in his as they moved towards the seating area, Kenzie looked around again hoping to recognize someone...anyone. So far...still no one that she knew.

Her eyes moving back to Erik, she wondered if he yet saw anyone. "Shall we just find a place to sit for now then?"

"Miss Dacosta," Katrina said, the name from the clipboard popping into mind. She hadn't seen the woman in a while though the woman had probably been involved in the fight. She smiled at her. "Yes, that would be me," she said, confirming the woman's thoughts. Just lil ol' her, Katrina Rayne. "No, oh, uhm, feel free to sit," she said, gesturing at the table filled with empty seats.

"Yep, take as long as you need," she raised her eyebrow, sarcastically. Becky sat down, at an empty table, smoothing her long dress. It felt weird to be at the Ministry and not work. The place looked really different, too. Hopefully Tim and Tori would join them, soon. Tim had looked really upset when he went to make that call. LIGHTBULB! It must've been something to do with Ryan's parents. Ohhh.

"Why are we sitting at a table for four?" Max asked, absent-mindedly. "Oh yeah, Tim and Tori," he remembered. "Becky, I really like Tori," he smiled, thinking of her beautiful face. "But I don't think she liked me back. I mean, she barely payed any attention to me at all," Max frowned, then smiled, picturing her again.

Tori ran up to Tim and tapped him on the Shoulder.''Um Tim,I like Max alot.''She said smiling.

Tim looked at her ith a shock face''Okay then,C'mon lets go.''He said ushering her.''We'll talk about the Call later.''

"Is everything alright?" Becky asked, concerned for Tim and Tori. "You don't need to tell me the details, it's just it doesn't look like everything is sunshine and rainbows," she said. "Sit down," the woman offered, indicating the two empty seats next to her.

Max went red with Tori right next to him. She was sooo pretty. He tried to speak, but found he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. He gave Becky a look, showing that he was lovestruck.

''I was talking to Ryan's father.''He said frowing.''Tell you the rest later.'''He said looking around.''Thanks.''He said sitting down.

Tori looked at Tim and mouthed He's so Pretty.Trying to start conversation she said''So Max were you the only Slytherin.''

Becky seemed to be the only one to notice what Tori mouthed, as by Max's face, she could tell he was in dreamland. She put her hand over her mouth to cover her giggle. The woman winked at Tim, noddind towards their siblings. "Yes, I thought it might be something to do with that," Becky nodded, dryly.

"Nope, we all were," he said proudly. "Except Hayley," Max added quitely. He was ashamed of his younger sister and glad that she wouldn't get in contact. A blood traitor was what she was. Filth.

''It's real boring.''He said frowning.''Hey is everything alright because I heard you saying something about Hayley.''He said holding her hands.

Tori looked back at up Max and said''Ah I loved Slytherin.''he said smiling.

Natalia Tarasova walked over to the seating area that was included in the celebration ball. She took a seat at one of the tables and watched as more and more people filled the room. She straightened out her dress and awaited for some friendly people that she knew. She thought she had spotted Katrina at another table, but it was useless now if she was already talking to someone else. The brunette sat quietly to herself, avoiding the habit of biting her nails out of boredom, at a time like this. And anyways, Natalia was very professional when it came to her work.

"Alright dear, don't be too long." Kissing her fiance on the cheek before allowing him to go and freshen up. Now.. Where to sit??? Oh, there was a beautiful looking woman sitting. *CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK* Went her heels as she approached. Ohhh her dress looked gorgeous, but now this girl sitting had style and class! "What a lovely ensemble!" Plopping down to a seat nearby. Oh dear Ruby, where are your manners. Deep breathes... INHALE.... EXHALE... silently of course, no need to breathe all over a potential acquaintance. "Oh, I-I'm sorry, my manners-" Standing up to bow deeply, thankfully her hat had a temporarily sticking charm so it wouldn't fall down tonight. Now she sat down in the same chair after her display of apology "I am Ruby, and I commend your style." Looking around taking in the perfection in decoration. "Looks like it'll be quite a show, what department may I ask do you serve?" If things go right she may be able to bring some sweets for everyone! Yes, Ruby liked sharing..

Aubrie looked up as someone sat down at the table she was sitting at. "Not at all," Aubrie said. "I'm Aubrie Hampson, part of Magical Law Enforcement." Yep that was her job and she should be proud of it. Now she had introduced herself completely she had to find out where Victoria worked. "Where do you work in the Ministry?" Aubrie asked, hopefully she wasn't part of MLE also, that would be embarrassing.

"It has its days..." Gavin mused commenting on Sam's words as he led Tasha into the modified ballroom, the room just as...no...more grandly and beautifully decorated then the room they had just left. Yes they had certainly went all out indeed. The reminscator looked around from any more familiar faces to try and decide which direction and which table in the seating area to head to , though it appeared Sam was the only one around.

Oh wait... there was Natalia from his department.

Though she was talking with someone so he meerly nodded a hello before heading to a nearby table. They were in mixed company department-wise so it wasn't a simple act of sitting with their co-workers. Letting go of Tasha's arm, Gavin moved from beside her to behind a chair instead, the man pulling it out from the table so she could sit.

"There you are," he said with a light smile, still standing behind.

Dacs nodded and sat next to her."I know we probably got off to a bad start but the situation wasn't accommodating to a better start. But that doesn't mean I can't let it go." she said. Although she wasn't working there anymore it didn't mean she couldn't still have friends there.

She looked around and said,"I think I need call in the decorator to re-do my house. Don't you think?" she asked with a chuckle. Making small talk was not a preferred choice of communication. She preferred to aim her wand. That usually got the point across.

"Thank you Aubrie." she replied,"I'm Victoria Daniels. I'm work in the Minister's Office. I'm a little new here." She was new but not oblivious. That the advantage of working in the Minister's Office you hear everything especially in her capacity.

"So how long have you been working here?" she asked her with a warm smile.

Ophelia was sort of bored already. The opportunity to get dressed up and look pretty and drink champagne all night had been too good to pass up, especially when TJ agreed to come with her, but she hadn't thought of the fact that everyone else.. was boring.

She kicked TJ's shin with the toe of her pretty high heeled shoes, "Wake up." Hehe.

TJ wasn't necessarily bored so much as... having a weird case of deja vu. He was minding his manners and all that junk, but his shoes were uncomfortable and maybe his tie needed to be a size bigger?

He tugged at it and glanced at Phe.

"My eyes are wide open." He widened them more, comically big. "I'm having so much fun."

With a HINT of sarcasm.

At leas the chairs were decent. TJ's rump had no complaints.

Phe leaned over and tugged TJ's tie loose, "If your mother asks, I'll tell her that you were a perfect gentleman with a perfectly tied tie." Yep. She would.

"How much will I need to bribe you with to get you to dance with me and tell me over and over how beautiful I look?" Grin.

"But can ya get everyone else here that she may know to tell the same lie?" TJ returned her grin and nudged the tie looser still. SO much better.

"More than you have," he replied without a hint of joking - even though he was. "Though I'm feeling generous. How much you got?"

With Kenzie's hand in his he escorted her into the ballroom with a smile and looked around. Not to bad considering it was the Atrium. "Well unless ye want ta stand around all day. Might be wise," he teased with a smirk and squeezed her hand.

"Ye know this is the first time we've been out in awhile, love." And probably for awhile considering they were expecting again. "Maybe I'll take ye out fer a spin on the dance floor," he said with a grin as he found a table and pulled a chair out for her.

"Of course I can." She lied, "Or have you forgotten how fabulous I am?" No, how COULD he forget? Absurd!

Phe pouted at him, "That was the part where you were supposed to say you don't NEED a bribe to dance with me and tell me how beautiful I look!" Sigh. Boys! "What did I bring you for if you're not going to do those things?"

She tried to hide her grin, but failed. She WAS teasing. Mostly. She was kind of serious about the dancing and compliments part though.
