"So, Derek, how long have you been working here?" he questioned, already knowing the answer himself but asking just to make some small talk before jumping into things. Derek blinked at the dainty cup Aron had summoned for him but didn't linger on it too much. He mumbled a thanks and reached for his own cup when his boss did the same, though he didn't drink from his yet.
The lab technician was expecting his Department Head to say something about the mutants, so his question surprised Derek a little. "Um... um, around eight and half years." He said, not sure where this was going. Derke was really bad at small talk, so he was suddenly expecting the worst. "Are the mutants... okay?" Did anything bad happen?? Did Derek kill them??? Was he being fired for it?? What? What? What? What???? He wasn't ready for this! Derek hadn't made any plans to try and find a new job! What was he going to DO???
Of course none of these things were verbalised. The 32 year-old was just sitting there, holding his cup and... actually looking at his boss somewhat confused, expecting a reason why he was... wait, was he REALLY going to be fired????????????

Rounds. In his office? What in Merlin's name...
"Rainey got you on babysitting duty, has he?" the man teased while scratching the back of his neck. Good Merlin when Emily found out about this. "Well, as you can see...Alexa...my office is perfectly secure. No one is going to 'off' me today."
What? He was a realist. No telling what tomorrow would bring. Well that was great, she wasn't interrupting some super important business that would have had him snubbing her, insisting he had elsewhere to be. The sarcasm...was ignored. If she didn't pay attention to it when Ravenclaws used it, what were the odds it'd matter now?
AND HE REMEMBERED HER. This was the first step to getting special permission to be in his labs. Obviously and Lex would roll with it--
Until he said that.
The former Gryffindor made a face, remembering the conversation she JUST had with Daichi. "Not babysitting. That's child's play, Sir. I'm protecting--protecting you at the moment; making sure things are running smoothly and no one's screwed up anything." Because then it would fall on the MLE and they would be the one with the stained reputation. Hopefully he saw where this was going. "Lots of things go wrong on any given day, if they didn't you're Department would be out of business and so would ours." And if things were always happening then there was always need for patrol making her VERY important. "We don't know that for sure. Still a couple hours left in the work day." Someone could still make attempts on his life. "Do you feel safe?" Simple question.

Standing up to walk over to tend to some of the plants in the office - mostly just to distract himself from rolling his eyes at the poor YATI who thought she was on some fantastic mission and even more so at the department head who had sent her. Aron idly rubbed his now mended hand and then examined the leaves of one of his plants.
"So, you are here to put my department out of business then? Or to cause trouble?" Her words. Not his. Merlin it was fun teasing the newly hired.
And on the off chance this was some sort of training exercise Rainey was putting the entire Ministry through without their knowledge, the Australian's hand rested on his wand. "Perfectly."

"Glorified babysitter?" The young woman was actually choking on the man's words. It was like...a slap to the face, only he was still on the other side of the room and she wasn't lunging at him afterward. "Seriously?"
For a few moments, Lex stood there gapping, her indignation as clear as day. Glorified babysitter? Glorified babysitter?
...
......
It wasn't until he ask that question that she finally snapped back to her senses. She was here for what now? "Quite frankly, I'm not here to cause trouble but I'm not opposed to it either otherwise it'll be an uneventful day and I've already seen too many of those in my short time here." According to Rainey, that either meant they were doing brilliant jobs or they simply weren't working hard enough. By now she should have landed at least ONE person in a holding cell but there was no such luck.
The fact that his hand went straight to his wand didn't go unnoticed, in fact she was now eyeing the man very carefully in case he knew something she didn't. Constant vigilance, yeah?

Was he really supposed to answer her? Smirking - mostly to himself - Aron leaned back in his chair a bit and his wand and holster slid back into his jeans pocket. Seemed like his suspicions were unwarranted.
Which made this poor YATI's visit a waste of his time. Still, best not to crush the dreams of a shiny new Auror hopeful. Seren would never forgive him.
"Well, Alexa," he said, rising from his seat and walking around his desk towards the young woman. "As you can see, my office is perfectly safe. If it would give you some peace of mind, you are welcome to continue your patrol of Level 3 and see for yourself that things are as they should be. Just be mindful of how you handle yourself in the lab. Derek is not particularly fond of visitors."

"It is actually in light of your work with the mutants, as well as your overall Ministry work profile, that I called you into my office today," he continued, taking a long swig from his coffee. Right. Derek's face slowly started to go pale and his palms were sweating now. He was wiping them on his trousers nervously as he tried - he really did try - to look at Aron's eyes to see if he could get any hint of... a reason for his boss to have called him there. But Derek just couldn't bring himself to look into Aron's eyes. So wiping sweaty palms it was, and nothing else. Productive years... was he... being ironic? Derek was able to see the smirk when he glanced up, but what did it mean????
...
The mutants were fine. Derek's face colour started going back to normal when he shifted on his seat a bit, still trying to understand what was going on. Up for adoption??? That meant they were fully back to normal then! Derek nodded. He should indeed go to level 4 to see them. Not to adopt them, no, but check on them and... take some notes. The lab technician shook his head, not realising he was probably making little to no sense with his head-motion communication.
Derek finally was able to look up at Aron for a bit longer this time, since his boss mentioned his work in the Ministry. His boss has still not said why exactly he had called him there and Derek started to get the impression the man was doing it on purpose. Did everyone like to see Derek getting nervous like that??? Merlin, maybe he should take more of that Calming Potion before work as well.
...Actually, that wasn't a bad idea at all.

Turning the parchments over, Aron slid the topmost one towards Derek. "As I am sure you are aware, Erikson's assignment elsewhere has become a bit more pressing and permanent, leaving there warranted room for you to ascend the ranks of PART," he explained while reaching for a quill. "I just need you to sign there at the bottom and date the form. Then I'll have personnel run through the paperwork and you'll be all set for your promotion."
Subtle. Heh. He expected some sort of reaction.

Just be mindful of how you handle yourself in the lab. Derek is not particularly fond of visitors." The more he spoke was the more she deflated.
Nothing wrong with his office...he was safe...she could continue patrolling--no one ever offered such niceties when they were hiding something. Surely they knew an Auror would take up the offer even if meant in jest...and find out whatever they were planning against her boss man...The patrolling of the lab was promising, but the fact he would just LET her search it in the event she avoided this Derek man made it just as disappointing. There was nothing there either.
Sigh.
What made Rainey suspect this guy in the first place? He didn't SEEM to do ANYTHING. Just your average Joe who was probably keen on getting to lunch but he didn't strike her as the type to lose himself in lunch prep and forget he was hiding things which meant he was really and truly...boring. A lovely face for sure and those arms....but boring.
Alexa sighed heavily, not bothering to hide her disappointment. "I'll get right on that--who's Derek? Is he a threat to public safety? Is that why I have to be careful around him and the lab? Just what kind of business d'you got going in that lab?" Last ditch effort at finding action. Sad wasn't it?

Derek....a thread to public safety...the thought alone made the department head choke on air while trying not to laugh. "Only a threat to himself," he coughed. "He is just not fond of people interrupting his work in his lab."
Special emphasis on his.
"I am sure he would be more than willing to give you all that information should you ask. Just finishing up some final analysis on magical DNA reversal." That whole ordeal that had taken far too long to resolve but was now. "But sure to send my regards to your boss," he concluded with a smirk.

Did his heart stop? It felt like it. Derek also stopped breathing for a few seconds when Aron basically said he would take on Erikson's job. No more supervisors. HE would be the supervisor. His own supervisor. Lab owner which he kind of was already, hm. Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeathe. Blink. "Yes, sir." Derek wiped his palm on his trousers one last time before taking a quill and taking a look over the document before signing the bottom of the parchment. "Um. Thank you... sir." The Potioneer said clearing his throat and going back to wiping his hands on his trousers.
Seemed like there had been no need for that little... overreaction. Well. Ahem. All was well. "Anything else I, uh... need to do?" Any tasks? Favours? New workload? Or could should he just go back to his lab now?

Or could should he just go back to his lab now? How much would it kill the man before him if he were to clap his hands together loudly and say 'JUST PULLIN' YOUR WAND, DEREK!'? Aron was tempted, because it was so easy to poke fun at the man, but he kept his professionalism at the forefront and waited until the documents were signed.
Accepting the documents, Aron gave a firm nod towards the signature at the bottom and grabbed a quill of his own to add his signature as well. That done, he lazily gave his wand a wave to send his Tasmanian devil patronus to the front desk to alert Ursula that there was some paperwork needed tending to. And he ought to let Eliora know as well so she could communicate with the Minister's Office about Derek's new payroll.
"Nope. Nothing at the moment. Just keep up the good work," he replied, effectively dismissing the man to go take care of his lab as he saw fit. It was, after all, officially his now.

"Nope. Nothing at the moment. Just keep up the good work," he replied, effectively dismissing the man to go take care of his lab as he saw fit. It was, after all, officially his now. That... hadn't been too hard. If only Derek hadn't freaked himself out to start with, everything would have been much easier. Merlin, he needed to learn to not do that. Merlin.
The former Gryffindor eyed the Patronus as Aron sent it somewhere out the door and tried his best to keep his mind off things, like 'what did the Patronus say' or 'who it was for' and all of those questions that would get him nowhere. ...Difficult task, if you asked him.
Right, nothing else for him to do there. Brilliant. "Right. Thank you again." Derek nodded his head and... actually held out his hand for his boss to shake. Improvement, see. See, Derek wasn't that bad at social norms after all he was.

Hitting his desk twice with the palms of his hands first, the Australian pushed himself up out of his chair so he could easily reach across it to return the handshake. He knew, by the way, that this was quite the monumental moment. Derek being the one to instigate the shake. Only taken a promotion to get the job done, it seemed.
"No, thank you," he smirked, wrapping his hand firmly around Derek's and shaking it.

"No, thank you," he smirked, wrapping his hand firmly around Derek's and shaking it. Derek shook Aron's hand for the first time in... he didn't know how long. Quite a while, at least. It probably wasn't the firmest handshake ever, but it was... you know, something. He pursed his lips and gave his boss a quick nod before letting go of his hand and... turning around to reach the door.
Back to his lab it was.

Back to his lab it was. Trying not to show his amusement at the limp noodle he held in his hand, Aron released Derek from their business handshake and chuckled under his breath as the man departed. Curious how all the more brilliant minds tended to be the most....unusual of people.
Smiling to himself, Aron reached for the next stack of paperwork and began sorting it all out.

Lex had waited an entire week after the re-opening of the Ministry before she allowed herself to check in on Aron. There was no telling what could happen in a week and he DID mention trusting her with his life. If she started slacking off now then he'd go looking to another YATI for protection--or worse, he might got to an actual Auror. Now wouldn't THAT be a slap to the face. She would get there one day.
Alexa took confident strides through the Department, looking like she was on patrol but really she was about to start her rounds and thought it best to make sure he was alright before she did.
The young woman placed firm knocks on the door, three of them to be exact then tried to compose herself while she waited for him to answer. He was in right? No meeting he had to be at? No visitors to entertain? No OTHER babysitters??

Organizing a few maps and reports send over from Hogsmeade - the latest updates, to be specific - Aron had not been expecting the knock at the door, but it hardly startled him either. Although he DID wonder if he had forgotten an appointment or something.
Not wishing to rise from his desk, the Australian pulled his wand from his holster and gave it a lazy flick towards the door to unlock it. "It's open," he called from his desk, eyes back down on the report he held in his other hand.

"It's open," he called from his desk, eyes back down on the report he held in his other hand. By the time the click came, Lex had managed to put on her professional soon to be Auror, this is serious business and I'm fully capable face. This was worn for all the most important interactions of course. It was hard being taken seriously as law enforcement at 19 and if one more person asked if she was old enough to be out of Hogwarts she'd hex 'em straight into St. Mungo's. It was a fair trade, anyone could admit that. "Mornin' Aron." The door was shut behind her, not to protect him but to make sure people thought he was in a busy and important meeting so they wouldn't disturb. Probably should have put up a sign while she was at it... "Was about to start my rounds and you happen to be the first on my list." Except she wasn't slated to patrol Level 3 this week. Minor detail, easily overlooked. Lex took to walking the room, checking to make sure everything was in order. "Thinking you're gonna be needing some extra protection, now that you've got another whackjob on your team." Good 'ole bug eyes. Where was he anyway? She'd have to ask.

| that's coming Dani, GOSH XD astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Seeing just who it was that had entered his office, Aron set all his paperwork aside for now, he had got most of what was needed to be done accomplished already. Now it was really just a matter of getting on site and filling in all the holes.
"Ah, my favorite glorified babysitter," he chuckled as he scratched his flexed neck. It was almost amusing. Almost. The game Rainey seemed to be playing with his employees. At least he didn't have to speak to the man with Cambridge around. Could just go through her and she could act as their Ministry memo and owl. Plus, she was entertaining.
"Whackjob?" he asked, eyebrow raised. "Don't suppose you mean the medallion handing out bloke from orientation? I assume the one I handed Bennett proved to be totally harmless?" Like the new recruit's mind. He was positive that one of his Obliviators had been messing with the dude's head prior to orientation. As long as he got the job done, Aron wouldn't be to terribly annoyed and could overlook the medallion stuff. In time.

Funny how the compulsion to deck him hadn't come up, not since the first time he'd called her that. It was only funny because she was 150% sure that anyone else who called her that would receive a dislocated jaw and a new reason to fear, respect or despise Law Enforcement. Aron was an exception for obvious reasons. "At your service til duty calls." Which it probably did 10 minutes ago but patrols were never timed and they didn't have training schedded until at least after lunch so she wasn't missing much.
Him though, he was missing much if he thought a man handing out necklaces was his greatest worry in his Department. "No idea how that necklace thing panned out, never really followed it up to be honest." It was....a weird guy who thought he could save the world....they had at least 5 of those a day. "Meant your other guy--hard to miss. Huge stadium bulb for eyes and a personality that sucks a duck."
Surely he knew who she meant. HOW MANY large glasses guys worked in this one department? "Reckon he'd go through the wall if he saw me walking around this level. Um. Lysander I think. He's...not very okay in the head." But brilliant fun to mess with.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Til duty calls. Well, that could mean they had a lot of time on their hands. And, really, most anything was a welcomed distraction from filing some paperwork. He may very well take advantage of her generous offer with the majority of the department out on assignments.
"Ah, Lysander. Yes. I did hear something about a bit of a disagreement between the two of you occurring," he mused as he came to his feet and tucked his half finished paperwork into the topmost desk drawer. "Play nice, Cambridge. I'd like to keep all my employees where they are, thank you." And any conflict would mean he would have to speak with Rainey and that was something he would rather like to avoid.
"Since you're here, and at my service," he continued, strolling around the side of his desk and heading towards the door. "Care to be my spotter?"

Oh, he'd heard about that little mishap afterall. Meant Rainey might have too but given she wasn't reprimanded in the slightest...Lex was just gonna take it that the boss didn't mind his employees having a little fun during that mundane task that was wand weighing. She must have gone through 100 different smiles and hellos before she ran into him. Her expression slid into one of perfect innocence. "Who me? I always play nice. It's like second nature now and he'd hardly leave after I told him I have a huge crush on him. Poor guy's probably never heard those words before. If anything I've boosted his confidence and he'll be walking with his head a little straighter."......Or hung down completely with fast leg movements in the other direction when he saw her.
Really, it wasn't that serious. He was a grown man, he'd get over it. "If it makes you feel better I'll treat him to lunch." Oh wait, that would make her feel better. Perhaps not then. All she'd do is watch the man squirm and irritate him further until he opted to storm away swearing he'd hex her if she ever came near him again. Looked bloody closed to it last time but she'd stolen his wand and he was forced to play nice. Brilliant, no?
Her ears perked up the moment he spoke of her being at his service. It meant he was finally gonna put that to use--good use by the sound of it. "Yeah, sure. Got pleeeenty of time." Technically. She could do patrols through lunch. Mhm.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Wishing he had something other than his hands to hid the amused smirk that was gracing his chiseled features, Aron shoved one hand into his jeans pocket and put his other on the handle of the door. "Well, just as long as you keep your budding romance out of the office and don't let it distract my employee from his efficiency," he said while turning the handle. "Then by all means."
Turning the handle, he pulled open the door and gestured for her to make her exit.
"Be right behind you. Just down the hall third door on the left."

| New Timeline Dragon Geisha/Toni-Toni Chopper/Master of Chocobos Alpha Goddess/ Darth Devious /Davvy's twinneh With the nicely packed photographs in hand, Kai knocked on the door. Knock knock knock-knock....knock knock. Yup, shave and a haircut. It was a muggle diddy so maybe he wouldn't know it, but at least she tried. She was pretty sure Aron had to be in by now and she didn't see any pesky Daily Prophet reporters again so she presumed that it was safe to do so. Hopefully it was, she felt as though she had a lot to tell him. She had found so much more than photographs, and why he wouldn't find his muggle. |

Taking a moment out of his stress filled schedule to look over some anniversary arrangements, the bleakness of the recent workload having dampened his spirits more than he was willing to admit, he was just about to prepare an owl to the restaurant when rapid fire knocking occurred.
"Huh, must be urgent," he said with a shrug, casually rising from his desk when a thought struck him. THE RESULTS! Leaping OVER his desk by the grace of one strong hand keeping his balance, he threw open the door and saw just the woman he was hoping to see.
"You cracked the code."
Not even a question. Statement. And he wanted to hear the details. Now.
