A spacious room awaits you for Level-wide and division-specific meetings. A long, polished wood table sits in the middle of the room, surrounded by comfortable chairs. The chic decor is enhanced by the several framed posters of Quidditch and Gobstones players alike hung on the walls. If a meeting has been called, this is the place to assemble with plenty of elbow room for everyone.

As much as she enjoyed her holiday break, Mariel was a bit eager to return to work. They would be extremely busy in the upcoming months, not that she minded too terribly, but it was essential that they get started with things right away. Her mind began to turn with thoughts of things to come and what they needed to accomplish to make it all happen as she began to get ready for her employees' arrival.

Three new employees. As they could certainly use much more, she wasn't sure she would have been that fortunate to get three. Of course, she wasn't happy to lose Charely, but she did understand. Not that he said it in so many words, but it had to be difficult for him and Vic to work in the same department, day in and day out. She couldn't imagine the tension. Perhaps she should make it a rule against dating within the Department to save them all further headache. So one in Gobstones didn't exactly replace Charely - he was young and might need a good deal of training before he was quite up to that level. The other two in Quidditch seemed to have a bit more experience. Hopefully they wouldn't need too much in way of preparation before they were up to par.

The 29 year old finished setting out pots of coffee and tea, pitchers of juice, and trays of freshly baked danishes and doughnuts. Perfect. She couldn't expect her employees to be productive on empty stomachs - or without caffeine. Pouring herself a cup of coffee, she selected a cheese danish and took a seat at the head of the table as she waited for her employees to filter in.

Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...

Back to work, thank Merlin it was time to go back. Not that Victoria minded being at home. No she loved spending time with her children, but her personal life hadn't been easy in some time and now with her questions on how her new relationship was really going she was happy to be back and have her mind fully where she enjoyed it... work.

She loved everything about her job. Sports were her thing and she loved both Gobstones and Quidditch, so working there for five years now and moving into her second year as the Quidditch Division Manager was a great accomplishment in her eyes. She had two new people under her and couldn't wait to meet them.

Opening the door she smiled at her best friend and boss. "Morning Mariel." Brown eyes scanned the room automatically to see if anyone else had entered yet, but also out of habit to see if Charely was there, but she knew he wasn't. Her heart fell a bit knowing she wouldn't see him at work anymore, but he moved on to something he was passionate about, so it was all for the best.

Taking her seat close to her boss, she pulled out her parchment from her bag that kept all her work from home files that she had been doing over break. Now to have some coffee and get fully awake before the meeting started.

Benji was ready for working again. He'd had a little more than just his usual christmas vacation with moving back to London from L.A. and he was starting to get bored. Not that everything he did was boring, but finding a place and things like that were generally things he didn't feel like doing. He was sure he should have hired someone to do it for him but whatever, it was over now.

This would be a good year. A new job, closer to his parents that still involved his favorite thing in the world. Quidditch. Not to mention his new relationship with Carrie, that was something he was particularly excited about. So what if she wasn't a pureblood, his parents needed to back off anyway. His workbag slug over his shoulder, ready to take notes or whatever else he may need to do during this meeting, he stepped into the room and spotted the two other women. He started as he always did when meeting a pair of ladies, flashing his most charming smile (Which was very charming.) the former snake let his blue eyes move between them. "Hello, i'm Benji Remmington. It's a pleasure to meet you both." Were these two bosses? Co workers? Hmm whoever they were he just really hoped they were competent. He'd worked with those that were less than so before and he had little patience for them.

Oh, good..there was coffee, he needed his coffee in the morning. But who didn't really?

Sarah thinks I'm cute | Shan's safe space.

Adam had barely been in the building for ten minutes and he already missed home. He missed his kids, and Lor and... The break. From work, from the ministry, from the job he'd been doing for as long as he could remember, and yet was beginning to doubt. Maybe that was a sign - when he'd first joined, the Ministry had been exciting and cool and so much a part of his life. Now he hadn't even made it to the celebration, blaming the kids, of course. The arrival of Sparrow and Libby wasn't putting any more strain on Adam and Lorelai than the other six had, but they were definitely feeling the strain.

From him.

With a sigh, he grinned before opening the door, and nodding to the people already seated. "Morning Mariel, Victoria." Each lady got a nod and a smile, before the not-nearly-thirty-he-promised man turned on the new face. He couldn't narrow it down, as there were three new people, and he couldn't remember their names, but he offered his hand anyway. "Adam Stemp, Patents researcher."

Now for coffee and a doughnut, and no more thoughts about guitar with Corbin and his clarinet.

Davina pushed the door open and held her shoulder square as she walked in. It was good to be back in her country, working in her ministry. Most importantly, it was good being involved in the league again even if she wasn't doning a uniform and flying. She wasn't working for Chad Stryker either, but last she heard he'd left. She briefly wondered where he was now as she walked towards the table and took a seat.

"Good morning. Davina Carter, Public Relations officer for Quidditch, I'm new but ..not so new..."

Sipping on her hot coffee to acquire that much desired caffeine, Mariel looked up to see Victoria walk in. Ah, of course she would be first.. no surprise there and she offered her a smile. "Good morning, Vic.. Please, help yourself." She gestured to the morning refreshments arranged on the table before taking a bite of her cheese danish. "Happy to be back?" Of course she had seen her a few times over the holiday break, but she figured she enjoyed the structure as well. She looked through her files, searching for two specific ones, as she continued speaking. "We have a lot to prepare, good we have a couple more.." There they were. She had just pulled copies of the new Quidditch personnel files from her stack of papers when one of those listed walked through the door.

Green eyes snapped up as she heard the voice, assessing the man's appearance as he walked in. Good. She not only appreciated dressing well in this department, but expected it. "Benji. It's a pleasure," she said, rising slightly from her chair and extending a hand for him to shake. "I'm Mariel Morgan, Head of this Department. And this," she gestured to the woman at her side, "is Victoria Maroon. She is the Quidditch Division Manager and you'll report directly to her." She gave him a small smile before nodding at the coffee and such. "Help yourself.. and welcome to Games and Sports."

She handed Vic the two files. "Copies for your records.." Those would most likely come in handy for her to stay organized in her division of the department. Then Mariel looked up as another arrived. "Adam.." she greeted him with a smile. "How was your holiday?" She didn't remember seeing him at the Gala, though she was far too focused on Jorge that she might not have noticed. She hadn't seen any of her employees there, even Victoria who she knew was there. She took another sip of coffee before looking up at Adam again. "Oh.. before I forget, I need to speak with you after the meeting. In my office, perhaps? I need to ask you something important."

And another new face. Well-dressed, Mariel approved. Green eyes followed the woman as she walked in. "Pleasure to meet you, Davina. I'm Mariel Morgan, Head of the Department." She'd allow the rest of them to do their own introducing. She wasn't completely sure what she was getting at by her not so new comment.. an attempt at a joke, possibly? But she didn't think on it too long. "Waiting on just a few more, then we'll get started.." They still had a few minutes and she wanted to finish her danish.

Victoria glanced at the refreshments, but shook her head, b] "I think I'll just stick with my coffee for now, but thank you."[/b] She had eaten with the girls before coming in so she wasn't hungry anyway. Her brown eyes lifted and she chuckled, "Really, you have to ask that question? Didn't you get that answer when we had lunch?" She was dying to get back and get her mind away from other things. Yes they did have many things to get too and she nodded, "Yes, I just hope these two will do a bit more work." Nothing against the others really, but it would be nice to get some more hard workers in her area of the department.

Looking up she noticed the new face coming in and smiled as Mariel introduced her. Taking the files she flipped them open and glanced at the two new employees, but didn't say anything since more were coming in the room.

As Mariel introduced her she stood from her chair as well. "Yes as Mariel said I'm Victoria, though most call me Vic. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you are ready to work." She gave him a sweet smile, but expectant. She was a very nice person, but wasn't one to deal with slacking. "Hope you had a nice Holiday?" The meeting hadn't started yet, so why not get to know the new employees.

Looking up as someone else entered she smiled recognizing this face. He was a great coworker that Victoria really enjoyed speaking with. "Good morning Adam, how was your Holiday? How's the family?" She hoped well. She hoped well. "Have any great inventions coming up? I'd love to come over and see some now that we aren't bug infested anymore." The last time she had visited the office she had gotten a creepy crawly surprise. Thankfully her wand was able to be fixed after the things chewed it.

Sipping her coffee she looked up as yet another new face joined. It seemed their new employees were more eager than most their old employees. Which was a good thing the thirty five year old decided. Looking up as Mariel introduced herself, but not her this time, Victoria stood from her seat again. "Victoria Maroon, Quidditch Division Manager. You will be working directly under me so welcome aboard." She had wondered about the not so new comment. She had never worked in the department at least as far as Victoria could remember, "Not so new? Have you worked here before?"

Saxon had been so caught up back home with all those pets, that it had made her come to work nearly late. It wasn't easy, taking care of two dogs and a turtle, and Colin, but somehow she managed. But, the blonde was ready for work, having rested well for not having to deal with her little brother while he was back home in Ireland with their father, it had given her time to relax.

So, the blonde had came running through the ministry levels, feeling late, for the first time ever, rushed through the department door, and came quickly into the conference room, her feet moving too fast for herself, nearly stumbling over to her seat.

What an entrance.

"Am I late? Am I late? I- the pets back home, they keep me busy so much sometimes and I tried to get here as quickly as possible- but the mess they make- the mess is terrible..." Saxon rambled, then she took a breath, realizing no one probably cared, and gave the room a look.

Goodness, she was late. Usually she was one of the first ones there. Right after Victoria, as it so always seemed. "I'm so sorry for disrupting. Have I missed anything?"

Davina offered a smile and settled into her seat. Department head, noted. She'd file that away in her brain some place along with her name. "Noted." And waiting she could do.

Oh and they had a quidditch division manager. "Pleasure." She would have normally gone on to the the hand shake thing but since she had already settled in, and so had everyone else, that was being bypassed. "Department of Magical Creatures under Chad Stryker, long time ago." Perhaps a lot longer that the woman had been at the ministry.

Deacon had made his way toward the Level 7 in the Ministry. It was nice to actually have your work tie in with some of one's own hobbies. So he thought. Being super early wasn't his style, so he made a stop to get some coffee before entering in. Taking in the sight.. Hello, ladies and... two gentlemen. Eh, he supposed that he could deal with the guys around.

"Morning everyone.." Oh right, his name would help. Since he didn't recognise anyone except the pretty yet unfortunately taken boss lady Mariel. "Deacon Bertino, Gobstones Admin Assistant." His eyes traveled to take in everyone's appearance. He had to get use to seeing their faces, yeah?

Seeing one of the other lady's (Saxon) exhausted demeanor did keep his attention for a moment. "I think you need this more than me." Holding out his untouched cup of coffee. Yeaaah, she can have it. He wasn't that thirsty anyway.

Benji turned to the new woman in the room. Hmm She was..very good looking..he had to keep things more appropriate now. He worked for the ministry. So good. "Benji Remmington, Quidditch Regulation.." He smiled again his most charmingly, mostly women so far, huh? Not that he'd mind one bit.. Smiiiiirks.

Another guy, good! He could use guys to hang out with, even if this Adam seemed a little older. he should talk about setting up their own office Quidditch game, like he had back in L.A. Maybe some of the other departments would get involved? Could be fun. "Benji Remmington, Quidditch Regulator, Nice to meet you." He wasn't always as charming with men because there wasn't a big need to charm them, he was a guy's guy.

Looking up to the DH he shook her hand firmly, she was his boss, his boss' boss. "Lovely to meet you, Mariel. I look forward to working with you." Looking over at the coffee "Thanks, i'll have to grab something."

Then there was Victoria, his new Boss. "It's great to meet you, Vic. I am very ready, my last few weeks have been spent moving to London so i haven't been doing much else in a while and i'm anxious to get back to it." queue that Remmington smile again. "It was wonderful over all, how was yours?" He had to be friendly and so far no one seemed unbearable.

Benji looked to the very...Ahem...Attractive, frazzled woman. (Saxon) and shot her that same smile before remembering that he was very very taken. This would take getting used to. He grabbed a coffee and made a mental note not to flirt with anyone. Mmhmm.

And Deacon made two guys, Benji saw him scoping the room. He knew that look. "Nice to meet you, Benji Remmington.." Even as big headed as he was Benji was getting tired of hearing his own name..Merlin was everyone else sick of it? Not that he cared...he was just curious.

Sarah thinks I'm cute | Shan's safe space.

Returning his boss' smile, Adam rand his fingers through the back of his hair as she questioned. "Oh, you know -" he managed, with a smile of his own, and a shrug. "The kids are a pain, and there seems to be another one around every corner. But it was a lot of fun. What about yourself, Mariel?" Yeah, he loved his children, even if they were a pain to shop for and seemed to come out of his ears at times. Something important? The man's ears perked up at that, and he narrowly stopped his eyebrows from disappearing into his hair again.

"Of course." Nod nod. He was curious now, and he was sure it wouldn't go away until he knew what the question was.

Victoria! It was a pleasure to see her again, Adam thought to himself, waving as she spoke. Her enthusiasm was infectious, it always seemed to him. "It was tiring, but good. The family... getting bigger by the second, it seems." Maybe it was time Lorelai stopped popping out babies, yeah? Not that he regretted any of his, at all. "How are yours?" At the mention of inventions, he waved his briefcase a little. "Just received some Gobstones whose liquid is apparently laced with practical jokes." Made you grow funny ears and a beard and the likes. At least, that's what was hopping. He'd have to wait until he looked them over before he knew for sure.

"And you." he replied to Benji, grinning over at the younger man before taking a seat. As another woman joined them, Adam noted her name. Davina. He'd introduce himself and get to know everyone after the meeting, or at least after all of the new people had joined them. Even as he thought this, the last of the new people entered and introduced himself to the room. "Adam Stemp." For Davina and Deacon's benefit.

Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...

SPOILER!!: Saxon
Saxon had been so caught up back home with all those pets, that it had made her come to work nearly late. It wasn't easy, taking care of two dogs and a turtle, and Colin, but somehow she managed. But, the blonde was ready for work, having rested well for not having to deal with her little brother while he was back home in Ireland with their father, it had given her time to relax.

So, the blonde had came running through the ministry levels, feeling late, for the first time ever, rushed through the department door, and came quickly into the conference room, her feet moving too fast for herself, nearly stumbling over to her seat.

What an entrance.

"Am I late? Am I late? I- the pets back home, they keep me busy so much sometimes and I tried to get here as quickly as possible- but the mess they make- the mess is terrible..." Saxon rambled, then she took a breath, realizing no one probably cared, and gave the room a look.

Goodness, she was late. Usually she was one of the first ones there. Right after Victoria, as it so always seemed. "I'm so sorry for disrupting. Have I missed anything?"
__________________


Victoria looked up and chuckled as Saxon came into the room. Leaning back in her chair she gave her fellow coworker a grin, “Calm down Sax you aren’t late. Honestly though if the pets give you that much trouble how will you deal with children one day?” She was joking of course. Her and Saxon had come a long way and Vic was really enjoying the friendship that had began. Seeing the new coming jump to her aide she couldn’t help but chuckle. She was the youngest of the females, so it didn’t surprise the thirty five year old at all. Refreshing her coffee she just kept her eyes around the room. Sighing to herself about a certain person missing, though there were a few. She wondered where the rest of her Quidditch team was.

SPOILER!!: Davina
Davina offered a smile and settled into her seat. Department head, noted. She'd file that away in her brain some place along with her name."Noted." And waiting she could do.

Oh and they had a quidditch division manager. "Pleasure." She would have normally gone on to the the hand shake thing but since she had already settled in, and so had everyone else, that was being bypassed. "Department of Magical Creatures under Chad Stryker, long time ago." Perhaps a lot longer that the woman had been at the ministry.


Davina seemed quiet, which was not always bad, she was a bit shyer when it came to things other than work. She found herself more in her element and more vocal when she walked into the office. “Public Relations is a great spot. I held it before I took on Division Manager. Always things to do.” She felt she might need to warn her about a manager of one of the teams, but they could talk more later. Looking at her watch she figured Mariel would be starting soon. “Oh Creatures. I don’t know Chad Stryker, so maybe it was before I moved her from Australia.” She felt she had been at the ministry for longer than just five years, but it really had been only five since her divorce and move.

SPOILER!!: The not Charely
Deacon had made his way toward the Level 7 in the Ministry. It was nice to actually have your work tie in with some of one's own hobbies. So he thought. Being super early wasn't his style, so he made a stop to get some coffee before entering in. Taking in the sight.. Hello, ladies and... two gentlemen. Eh, he supposed that he could deal with the guys around.

"Morning everyone.." Oh right, his name would help. Since he didn't recognise anyone except the pretty yet unfortunately takenboss lady Mariel. "Deacon Bertino, Gobstones Admin Assistant." His eyes traveled to take in everyone's appearance. He had to get use to seeing their faces, yeah?

Seeing one of the other lady's (Saxon) exhausted demeanor did keep his attention for a moment. "I think you need this more than me." Holding out his untouched cup of coffee. Yeaaah, she can have it. He wasn't that thirsty anyway.


As the next man walked into the room Victoria new by default who he must be. She nodded, but had to take a moment to find her voice when she heard Gobstones Admin. Sipping her coffee, so she didn’t seem rude, she finally gave the man a better smile. “Good Morning, welcome to level seven. I’m Victoria, Quidditch Division Manager.” Though she did enjoy the world of Gobstones and she did enjoy dropping by the office to chat with Saxon about ideas at times. So she figured she’d be seeing him once in awhile.

SPOILER!!: Benji
Benji turned to the new woman in the room. Hmm She was..very good looking..he had to keep things more appropriate now. He worked for the ministry. So good. "Benji Remmington, Quidditch Regulation.." He smiled again his most charmingly, mostly women so far, huh? Not that he'd mind one bit.. Smiiiiirks.

Another guy, good! He could use guys to hang out with, even if this Adam seemed a little older. he should talk about setting up their own office Quidditch game, like he had back in L.A. Maybe some of the other departments would get involved? Could be fun. "Benji Remmington, Quidditch Regulator, Nice to meet you." He wasn't always as charming with men because there wasn't a big need to charm them, he was a guy's guy.

Looking up to the DH he shook her hand firmly, she was his boss, his boss' boss. "Lovely to meet you, Mariel. I look forward to working with you." Looking over at the coffee "Thanks, i'll have to grab something."

Then there was Victoria, his new Boss. "It's great to meet you, Vic. I am very ready, my last few weeks have been spent moving to London so i haven't been doing much else in a while and i'm anxious to get back to it." queue that Remmington smile again. "It was wonderful over all, how was yours?" He had to be friendly and so far no one seemed unbearable.

Benji looked to the very...Ahem...Attractive, frazzled woman. (Saxon) and shot her that same smile before remembering that he was very very taken. This would take getting used to. He grabbed a coffee and made a mental note not to flirt with anyone. Mmhmm.

And Deacon made two guys, Benji saw him scoping the room. He knew that look. "Nice to meet you, Benji Remmington.." Even as big headed as he was Benji was getting tired of hearing his own name..Merlin was everyone else sick of it? Not that he cared...he was just curious.


“I like very ready. We have a busy schedule a head of us, so hearing you are very ready is a good start.” She’d go over more of his job later and possibly warn him about a few people that might give him extra trouble. “Moving can be such a hassle. I’ve done it a.. few times.” She hesitated on the ending. Ugh, she really didn’t like talking personal life. Victoria Maroon written on parchment looked like an awful package, so it was just hard to explain to people that really didn’t know her first. “Glad you are all settled in though.” That part was always nice. “Oh my holiday was nice. Just spent at home doing some things for here and spending time with my children.”
SPOILER!!: Adam
Returning his boss' smile, Adam rand his fingers through the back of his hair as she questioned. "Oh, you know -" he managed, with a smile of his own, and a shrug. "The kids are a pain, and there seems to be another one around every corner. But it was a lot of fun. What about yourself, Mariel?" Yeah, he loved his children, even if they were a pain to shop for and seemed to come out of his ears at times. Something important? The man's ears perked up at that, and he narrowly stopped his eyebrows from disappearing into his hair again.

"Of course." Nod nod. He was curious now, and he was sure it wouldn't go away until he knew what the question was.

Victoria! It was a pleasure to see her again, Adam thought to himself, waving as she spoke. Her enthusiasm was infectious, it always seemed to him. "It was tiring, but good. The family... getting bigger by the second, it seems." Maybe it was time Lorelai stopped popping out babies, yeah? Not that he regretted any of his, at all. "How are yours?" At the mention of inventions, he waved his briefcase a little. "Just received some Gobstones whose liquid is apparently laced with practical jokes." Made you grow funny ears and a beard and the likes. At least, that's what was hopping. He'd have to wait until he looked them over before he knew for sure.

"And you." he replied to Benji, grinning over at the younger man before taking a seat. As another woman joined them, Adam noted her name. Davina. He'd introduce himself and get to know everyone after the meeting, or at least after all of the new people had joined them. Even as he thought this, the last of the new people entered and introduced himself to the room. "Adam Stemp." For Davina and Deacon's benefit.

“How many children do you have now?” She actually knew that it was a few, but wasn’t sure of the exact number. Adam and his wife seemed so sweet though, so it was cute. Sipping her coffee she moved her thoughts and pushed a smile of her own, “It was good, quiet some days when the twins were at Charely’s and Bart was at his fathers, but when they were all home it was eventful.” The girls walking now and Bart moving into moody teenager was an interesting combination. Then adding Luc popping in and out, she had to say some of her days were fun. Her eyes did widen and she chuckled a bit, “They didn’t come from Hogwarts did they? That sounds like something my son would have done.” If it wasn’t him then no one needed to give him the idea. “What type of jokes, I mean what did the liquid do?” She was all interested now.

"Suit yourself," Mariel shrugged as Vic refused any of the continental breakfast selections, then she finished off the last of her own cheese danish before washing it down with a sip of coffee. Didn't matter to her either way, she just wanted her employees to be comfortable. And alert. Her smile grew a bit at Victoria's response to her question and she couldn't help the chuckle. "Let's just say that it was a rhetorical question." She knew her friend was as much of a workaholic as she was. It wouldn't surprise her to see her jump right back into the swing of things. And that was something she needed around here.

They still had a few minutes until she wanted to begin so she allowed her friend to chat with some of the others as the brunette looked to the few that were still making their way in. Next of whom was Saxon. Goodness.. what was she rambling on about.. pets? There was a reason Mariel didn't have any, but she offered the woman an amused smile. "Saxon, you're fine. Don't worry about it, you're right on time." Merlin, she had such a flighty personality at times that once annoyed the 29 year old, but the younger woman had since grown on her and come to prove herself as very reliable and such a hard worker. "Have a seat, help yourself.." She gestured to the pastries and coffee.

She gave a brief nod to Davina at her response, her eyes at the doorway again as another of their newest entered. She heard Vic question the woman about her previous employment, which Mariel had known about it as she reviewed her application. "Quite the career change." She glanced at the two before taking a sip of coffee. She really did not care in the slightest just found no similarity between the two nor logical moving from one into the other. But as long as she proved herself useful to this department, then that was what mattered.

Deacon had gotten completely into the room by the time she turned her eyes back to him. "Morning, Deacon," she nodded after his introduction to the group. "Mariel Morgan, Head of the Department," she added for his benefit. "Welcome aboard." She raised an eyebrow as he offered his coffee to Saxon. Oh no.. that was not some lame attempt at flirting, was it? Mariel was not having that here, not anymore, and she was pretty sure Saxon was involved anyway. "I'm certain Saxon can help herself," Mariel said with a sweet smile as she gestured to the coffee and pastries on the table. "Why don't you do the same?" They were for all of her employees anyway.

Nice firm handshake, good. Benji earned himself a small, yet approving smile. "Fantastic," she said lightly as she nodded towards the refreshments on the table. Way to jump right in and be part of the team.. and she'd rather not have to take much home or let it go stale. "Good to hear," she said, noting his words to Vic about being ready to get started. "We are eager to see what you can do for our department." She smiled a bit bigger. Mr. Remmington was making a decent impression on her thus far and he did come well-recommended. But his work performance would be telling and still remained to be seen.

She could use a bit more coffee and leaned over to help herself, chuckling a bit at Adam's words. How many kids did he have? Seven or eight, she thought.. at least enough to start his own Quidditch team. But what got her most was the fact that he was her age. She couldn't imagine that many, let alone one.. well, maybe she could imagine one. "I'm sure they're delightful," she said with a friendly smile. She was also sure they drove him crazy at times but were a blessing all the same. Mariel subconsciously glanced down at the ring on her finger as the question was directed back to her. "Oh.. it was.. lovely," she said with a reminiscing smile. The good certainly helped to push her mind away from the bad.




Vic seemed to be in an awfully chatty mood and she gave her a few more minutes to catch up with the rest of the department while Mariel waited for any stragglers. A quick glance to the clock on the wall told her it was tie to start regardless of who still had yet to arrive. She had little patience for tardiness, so she could deal with whomever later and they could have someone else catch them up to speed. She wasn't a fan of repeating herself.

"Welcome back, everyone," she said with a wide smile as she rose from her seat, signifying that the meeting was to begin and the small talk to end. "And an official welcome to the newest members of the department." Normally she'd introduce them all but that seemed to already have been taken care of when they first came in. "We do have quite a bit going on in the upcoming months, first and foremost, a Quidditch event for the Wizarding public." This was what she was most excited about and probably their most prevalent event, so why not start with it first and jump right in.

"Victoria and I have been discussing holding a Quidditch Meet and Greet, featuring professional players from the British and Irish league, for the general public. As this has the potential to be quite large, we will need not only the entire Quidditch division, but our personnel fro Gobstones and Patents as well."
She needed all the manpower they could get, really, though she did have something specific for her patents people. "The plan is to have maybe autographs, photo opportunities, perhaps some interactive games or activities with the players.. things like that. We will also need to locate and secure a venue." She took a glance around the room. "Initial thoughts?" Good to hear some input first before she overwhelmed them with information.

Vic's question: How many children, now? Well that was a question and a half. "Eight, what with Sparrow and Lib last summer." Eight. Gosh, that was a big number. "They make three sets of twins." And Adam of course blamed Lorelai - something about maternal genetics. Of course, 'blame' was the wrong word, but he'd think of another one at a different time. "How old are the girls, now?" They were probably around some Stemp or others. He laughed at Victoria's next comment, though, covering his mouth with his hand so as not to spray the room with coffee. "I don't think so, but I'll double check and get back to you." Gosh, how amusing that would be. "I still haven't tested them yet, and the note didn't specify." Which was what had him worried.

"When they want to be," Adam managed in response to Mariels suggestion that his kids were delightful, offering a chuckle of his own. The babies were the best, even if it seemed like Macca didn't like him half the time. Corbin and Saffron... they weren't half getting into a world of their own. He assumed it was an age thing. Offering a nod and smile to let her know he was glad her holiday had been good, Adam was rather please when the meeting began.

Initial thoughts? Adam actually had LOTS. "For interactive stuff, what about coaching sessions? Give people the chance to be taught by serious professionals." Maybe different ages, too - he was sure both Lorelai and his oldest twins would love the whole idea of this event. He was actually excited about being in on this stuff, even if Quidditch wasn't his first love. He still got sports, and fanatics.

Ummm. Ok. Why was that guy offering Saxon his coffee? One he obviously had gotten for himself. Yeah, no she wasn't taking it. Sorry, not sorry. "Yes, like Mariel said, I'm capable of getting my own food or drinks if I want. Thanks for the offer, though?" It was polite of him? "I'm not late. Excellent." First day back and being employed in the department already and possibly being late, didn't give off the best of impressions.

And then there was another man giving her a smile? So first offering of coffee and then another one directing a smile towards her. Honestly, men.

Saxon gave Victoria a small smile, as she mentioned the meeting had not started yet. "Thank goodness." breathed Saxon. And.... 0_________0 children? That totally threw her off guard, and Saxon had never been one to seriously consider children, or anything, but Victoria's words had caused internal panic in the young blonde. Nothing would be said about that. More important matters were at hand.

Like work.

The blonde listened to Mariel's words about her and Victoria planning to have a quidditch event happen for the public. Which she liked the idea. It seemed very interesting and it gave fans the opportunity to have a one on one with their favorite athlete or team player perhaps.

Saxon listened to the first person to speak up and, once he was done, Saxon felt like adding something onto his idea, "Going off of what he just said," Saxon said pointing at the man who had just finished talking, "Perhaps the younger quidditch players, say, those who may have gotten onto a team or recently graduated Hogwarts, can do these lessons with the younger fans? And quidditch officials, or players, who have been in the sport for a couple of years, can interact with older fans, such as teenagers, and adults?" She said. Did that sound like a good idea.

There was also another important question. "Have any time for this to happen been thought out? If we want to get a good crowd of people perhaps we should consider this happening over the summer? Of course, any time is better than nothing." By then a lot of students would be out of school for the time.

"Yes, well I was never one to shy away from new opportunities so I'm hoping I'll be agreeing with you soon on that one Victoria." That's what she said her name was right? She wasn't shy or anything but listening was mostly her thing, listening and learning quietly.

"Oh yeah he left a little after I did." It was eons ago. Like when she had retired from professional quidditch eons ago. Still felt like yesterday though.

Davina blinked at the woman."No not really. I took the job in creatures right after I retired because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and I didn't fancy sitting at home. It was a job, not a career." She had gone on to teach quidditch in Japan at the wizarding school there and now she was here. There was her logic.

And of course that got her more than a little excited. She'd see old friends again and all that was right up her alley. "Definitely shoot outs against the stars at the hoops, 'I think the game is called King of the Pitch'."

Benji nodded at Adam, just a nod. There wasn't really too much else else to do there. But he hoped he could make friends with the guys in the department, of course as well as the ladies there but his guy friendships normally worked out better for reason.

Listening to Vic had him ready to work. He liked having a motivated boss and he liked the idea of being busy. So what this was a new field to be working int, he was Benji Remmington which meant he would master this with no issue. "Good, i feel like i've been sitting idle for too long." He told her and then she mentioned moving...it was the worst. "I've only really moved a handful of times, like for Uni and work. It was more finding a new Flat that was the worst though." She had children? How....lovely..He didn't care for kids, now he wasn't gonna suck up and pretend that he did, nope. But he wasn't going to be rude either. "Ohh, well that's nice. I'm sure they loved having you at home." Mmmhmm, kind neutral comment right there.

Benji gave his undivided attention to Mariel. She had the floor, big DH was talking so he stopped all else. A welcome how nice..then more of what he was excited about. Lots to do, lots of quidditch related things! This event sounded great, like something he'd have wanted when he was a kid, which didn't really come around. So this would have to be something amazing. "What kind of budget are we looking at for this? Depending on that we could maybe offer the first X-amount of kids a quaffle or a jersey or something? Maybe the teams could donate?" Nothing brought people out like free stuff this was something Benji had learned a while back. "What about Press Coverage as well? Word of mouth is great but we could get the word about the event out faster that way, the quidditch leagues here have fans all over the world. Why not attract that business as well?"

Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...

Victoria’s eyes moved to Mariel as she started the meeting. Her small talk with her employees and Adam would have to wait until later. She smiled out towards the rest of her coworkers as Mariel spoke of the Quidditch Meet and Greet. This was something that had her very excited and she was beyond thrilled to finally get to plan with everyone.

As everyone started to say their answers, Victoria didn’t want to miss anything so she grabbed some parchment and began writing ideas that others had. “Oh Adam that is a really great idea.” People would probably love working with coaches and getting coach’s thoughts. She wondered if Mr. Mackenzie would be willing to help out with that. Saxon had a great idea as well with the younger children. “I think something for the younger children would be great, I know they would love the mascots. I’ve been in contact with teams trying to line some up. “ What child didn’t love a mascot, well probably Alana, but she didn’t like anything.

Pulling out her planner she opened it, “Unfortunately because of team schedules, matches, and other scheduling issues we have some open time in the spring and I think that is when we are going to be planning to set this up.” She looked to Mariel for confirmation that she was correct and rechecked her planner to make sure she had her dates correct. Looking up when one of her new team members spoke she thought a moment trying to remember if she knew the game.] Writing it down on the parchment as well she nodded, these were all great ideas. It was all just so exciting.

Hearing her other department team member Vic glanced up and nodded to his ideas. They were great. The kids would love a jersey or a quaffle. “It could possibly be even a stuffed mascot.” She added just as a thought. Maybe even a hat from the different teams, there were many possibilities. She continued to write down the ideas, but chuckled under her breath at the press coverage comment. Oh she thought Mariel would already have that squared away. What was a Journalist fiancé for if you couldn’t use him for good publicity?

Leaning back in her chair she had to admit Benji seemed to know his stuff. Her quidditch team was shaping up pretty well in her eyes. Looking back down at her notes she thought for a moment. “Concessions would probably be good as well. Having food there could bring in extra money and people always like snacks and drinks at events.” Her thoughts all over the place she moved on to something different as it popped in her head and she flipped her planner, but frowned, “For a venue we should compare schedules see which stadium doesn’t have a match during the time we would like it. I must have left that planner at my desk.” She could go get it if needed.

Friendly folks here, as Deacon had gotten the greetings. "Likewise, Benji." Legitly it was. Then acknowledging Adam as he mentioned his name. Face recognition wouldn't mean much without the name attached.

Now Deacon was getting the checking out vibes. He was used to this, much too use to it enough to casually look back at "Well thanks Victoria.. it's nice to meet you." She has to be taken. There was the formality in her greeting that made it quite clear to him. Later hearing her talk about her kids with Adam just about confirmed it.

Waiting to see if this lady would take the coffee or not, he could hear Mariel.. defend her? It was amusing, as if he of all guys would assume a lady wasn't capable of it. Hmm.. so her name was Saxon. Thank you, Mariel. He smirked a little at his thoughts. He didn't even have to ask her for it. His smirk turned to his usual gentle smile, "If you say so.." The danish did look good now as he went to collect some before taking his seat.

Now the meeting was beginning. Could he put his feet on the table? Naaah, he was still too new here to do such a thing. Relaxing in the chair as he listened. Tons of good ideas going on, it was difficult to come up with another idea to make it even better. Who couldn't love the sport, after all? Rather than just remain on the sidelines, he added in, "I think with the venues, we can look into the possibility on the event taking place in Gobstone Arenas as well. In case we don't want to disturb the Quidditch teams from continuing their regular training sessions and upcoming matches." Since Gobstones matches weren't as frequent during this time.

Once finished with introducing the topic of their Quidditch event, she resumed her seat and took out her notes as she waited for responses from her team. Glancing up first at Adam, she listened as he offered his thoughts, giving him a smile and nod. Not a bad idea. She glanced then at Victoria to hear her comment before she offered her own. "I agree," she nodded first to Vic and then to Adam. "Certainly something to keep in consideration. We can see what players would possibly be willing and go from there, but I think some of the attendants would enjoy that." And Saxon seemed to think it was a good idea as well, Mariel listened as the blonde woman expanded on the idea.

Good ideas right off the bat. The 29 year old was pleased so far. "Nice thinking," she gave the woman an approving nod. "It's likely that some of the older members of our community might identify with some of the older players, maybe their favorites a time ago." Of course, fans loved players regardless of age in most cases, but she knew that some of the older ones might have fans that had followed them since they were younger and in turn be older as well. There was one in particular she hoped would be receptive to the idea of participating in this event.

And Mascots, yes. "Fantastic," she nodded to Vic as she noted that she had already been in contact with the teams regarding that matter. "I do think that will add to the fun atmosphere we hope to foster with this event. Definitely something the youngest of our community will be interested in as well, I believe." She looked to Adam again with a smile. "We certainly hope to see Lori and some of the kids there too." She was sure they'd enjoy this as well as the rest of her team's families.

Hearing Saxon's question about when they could possibly hold this, she caught Vic's look and nodded her agreement. "There are a few scheduling conflicts between us and a few of the teams that we felt Spring would be the best time to hold this and get around those issues. Of course that does leave out one specific demographic as school age children will be unable to attend, but will still leave us with the majority of the community." Unfortunately, not everything worked out perfectly all of the time but she felt this was a good compromise. "We are tentatively looking at early April. That still gives us a little bit of time to plan and pull it all together but it will come up fairly quickly." She was confident that she and her team could come up with a spectacular event in that time though.

King of the Pitch. Mariel was jotting things down in her notes when that suggestion was thrown out. Sounded like a warm-up game she and her former teammates used to do, that might work as well. "We'll take that one into consideration also," she mentioned as she glanced over at Vic. Good, she was keeping record also. She appreciated efficiency. As for the activity itself, she welcomed the ideas, just would have to see what would work best and what the players were open to.

Mariel glanced from her notes as Benji began to speak, a smile soon affecting her features. She would have to admit that he was continuing to make a good impression on her, not only jumping right in with suggestions, but commendable ones at that. "Fantastic idea," she gave him an approving nod. "Our budget is moderate.. but donations of this sort would be most feasible. Teams are often willing to donate some of their own merchandise, I think this is something that needs to be followed up on. Perhaps your first assignment could be to work with Victoria and contact a few of the teams to see what they are willing to offer in terms of merchandise." She looked over to Vic, leaving that up to her as she oversaw that division, but he was beginning to prove himself with words, perhaps he could do the same with action as well.

The brunette did not miss the quiet chuckle from Victoria either and she couldn't help her own before looking back at Benji with a smile. "Press coverage has already been taken care of, but yes, I agree. A great way to attract people and get the word out." And then Vic had more to add, Mariel kept her green eyes on her as she spoke, soon giving her a nod and adding a few more notes. "Concessions, of course.. food and refreshments is always a good idea when gatherings of people are involved."

A venue, she knew, was something they still needed to work out while they would be nearing the end of the season with this event and games would still be played during that time. "That's fine," she told Victoria as she did not have her planner with her. They still had a little time to work with for that, though they should secure that soon. Green eyes turned to Deacon who had an interesting suggestion. "While I appreciate the thought, I do think it best to hold this at an actual Quidditch stadium." She and Vic had debated several ideas for locations that would be most ideal. "It is, of course, large enough. And I feel that it will contribute to the spirit surrounding the event. It's most likely going to be on a weekend, preferably one that fewer games are being played." Hopefully during the playoffs so more teams would be able to attend.

"Great ideas so far," she nodded at her employees as she paused in her writing. "Anything else to add?" Those were their initial thoughts of course. With her responses, she'd love to hear if they had thought of something else or just didn't give her all they had thought of just yet. "We will need to start organizing who can help with what. And I would like the other divisions of this department to join in as well, not just Quidditch." Of course, Vic could delegate what she wanted done to her own team, but they would need to start thinking about that and get on it as soon as possible. "Saxon, perhaps Gobstones could take charge with the concessions, line up a few vendors that could provide the food and refreshments?" Or she could help with something else if she would rather, but she thought that a good fit for them for now. "Adam.. could you go through some of your patent submissions, see if any of them are suitable for this event? I do remember the invisible broom last year, perhaps that can be something that could be included somehow. Maybe some of the broom manufacturers as well. I'll get in touch with the Transportation Department to see i they'd like to be involved."

Wow, there were a lot of ideas being thrown around here. Which was obviously a good thing. This meant that there were a lot of thoughts. Should she be writing things down too? Victoria and her boss were both jotting down everything, but the other employees were not. A slight sweat began on Langen's palms and she swallowed hard to get rid of any nerves. She had been here for a while now, and the brunette still felt like an outsider looking in. Which frustrated the woman and complicated things greatly.

Listening intently to not miss a thing, the twenty year old listened to her boss speak and tried to formulate an idea. She didn't want to be the only one not talking at the meeting. Because then it would look like she didn't have any ideas. It was important to look smart, even if you're not entirely sure that you are. Thinking of the Quidditch store on Diagon Alley, a half formed idea came to her quickly.

"Um, what if we teamed up with Quality Quidditch supplies to get some quidditch merchandise at the event? Get kids interested in quidditch and then get them some brooms and other equiptment so they can play? Maybe the kids can get the brooms autographed by the players or something?" Half formed idea sounded better in her head than out loud. The girl with the chestnut eyes practically cringed as she said it allowed, in front of all of these people like that. Probably should've formed the idea fully before blurting it out. Whatever, what was out was out.

Crossing her right leg over her left under the table, the rather tall girl used the oppurtunity to fix the boots she was wearing, making sure that it was firmly on her foot. Being about five feet and eight inches tall, Langen often wore flats, so when she wore heels or boots, she had a habit of pushing them into her heel. Like she was doing now. Owww, foot pain was becoming obvious. Probably shouldn't have taken her sisters shoes, as the other girl was a half size smaller and had awful taste in footwear. Really awful taste in footwear.

And speaking of siblings, Langen blamed Natalie (said sister) for making her stay up late last night and come into work tired today, Of course, not as tired and frazzled as one of the newer people at the conference, but still tired. Who needed a specific type of candy at twleve midnight anyway? Although, the brunette was starting to suspect something about her sister. It was quite likely that the house was going to be getting another family member, one who couldn't walk yet and needed his or her meals crushed. It was quite possible that her sister was pregnant, and that meant that Langen was going to be taking care of the baby the most. Because Natalie was lazy and quite childish for twenty three, which left the brunette to be smart and responsible.

Saxon listened to everyone else's ideas, and to what Mariel had to say to elaborate on them. Glancing here and there to the employees whenever one of them spoke up. She did, see, however, Victoria taking some notes, and it made Saxon wonder if she should be taking some as well. Though, she wouldn't worry too much, she could always go up to Victoria during break and ask to transfer her notes onto Saxon's own paper.

Then, the scheduling issue was addressed and Saxon just nodded. Spring as well, was probably more of an off season time for the teams and were more able to do such an event like this, compared to the summer, when they were probably busy all over the place playing games with one another. It now made sense. "Of course, it makes sense. And, as you said, its not like we're going to not see people arrive. We are a large wizarding community, after all." There would still be people, and that's all that mattered.

The blonde was then addressed and Saxon nodded several times. "Yes, gobstones can work on setting up the food and drinks for the event. I think its something we can all handle." It didn't seem like so much work. They could even be the vendors, the gobstones workers, there was no problem with that. "We'll do our best to keep it quidditch themed." She said, giving her boss a smile. That meant that some ideas on how to make the food, drinks and concession stands slightly quidditch related. It should be fun.

It seemed like Mariel had given some pre-thought to this, seeing as she seemed to suggest to each person what she felt like her employees were capable of taking over. And as soon as possible, it did seem far away, but planning took time so they couldn't be too leisure about this, or relaxed. The more work and time they spent on this the better it would be.

Benji listened to the different ideas going around the room. This was certainly his kind of project. Something big and quidditch related was right up his alley. Seeing the different ideas people had. He regretted not being in the area a bit more lately, he didn't know too much about the local business or things like that. hmm.

But Vic seemed happy with what he had to say. She seemed like she would be a good boss. Focused and on point. He watched Deacon, he could tell he was scoping out the women in the room. Ughh he wanted to roll his eyes so badly but that would be unprofessional. He could appreciate a good looking woman as well, but this wasn't a bar or nightclub. It was the Ministry of Magic. But at least he had a good idea about the Gobstones Arenas.

Hmm. His idea made the DH smile, always a good sign so far. "Thank you." He grinned as the words came out of his mouth, he loved doing a good job. "Excellent, i'm sure between the teams and maybe the major equipment suppliers we can get a good amount of merchandise to give away..maybe even a few sponsors." He jotted a few things down on a notepad he'd brought and looked over at Vic, nodding at her. He would be sure to speak with her afterward on how to follow this up.
