Default Offices for Employees






When you walk into the offices of level five you may notice a very open atmosphere. Cubicles are set up for employees to have their own space and privacy, but the open middle leaves room for some sofa's and chairs perfect for team collaborating or smaller division meetings. If you are coming for a meeting or just to drop by a certain desk you will find the names of the divisions on plates at the start of each cubical area.w Watch out though level five is very busy and you will see memos and owls zooming by.

Still, the paperwork needed to be completed or else he might have to return to Germany.

So here he was, on level 5 to hoping this process wouldn’t take too long because he had a potion brewing down in Mysteries. ”Entschuldigen Sie,“ (Excuse me) He said in German to the first person he found, because surely someone on this floor should know the language right? Or perhaps there were translation charms? Eh, maybe he should switch back to English. “I need to extend mein vork FISA.” He hoped the need for help was implied in his tone.
It was pretty rare for people to wander into Level Five, even from other departments. Jessica honestly thought it was one of her IMC colleagues because she was still so new that she didn't recognize some of her more allusive coworkers. She sipped her coffee as she made to sit down but then he was speaking German at her, and she quickly stood back up, holding her coffee aloft and balanced the whole time. Whaaaaaat?

"I don't know German, but luckily for you, I at least understood what you meant," she put on a charming smile rather than show how irritating she found the intrusion. "Did you have an appointment with someone or...?" she was confused about WHY a random person off the streets was in her work office and NOT waiting at the level's front desk area. "I'm actually more in charge of southeast Asian requests but maaaaaybe I can help you anyway. Work visas aren't too difficult a thing to sort out." Cue another smile that showed absolutely all of her front teeth.

Jessica did not realize this was another ministry worker O_O

Adam was dressed in his normal work clothes, black slacks and a long-sleeved button down, over which, he had tossed one of the work robes that he kept in the Love Chamber where he worked. The robes might be covered in a bit of dried Amortentia potion. It would explain why among the coffee aroma, Adam smelled strawberries and lavender. It had been the coffee smell he'd followed, which led him to Jessica's desk. He was close enough to her now to see her basic outline, but he couldn't see details like facial ques so that charming smile she was directing his way? It was lost on Adam. He couldn't tell from the sound of her voice if he had interrupted her or not. "Apologize," he said in his heavy German accent.

The strawberry and lavender scents were a bit distracting to him, although he was trying very hard to focus. But he caught something about Asia and something else… "If it is a problem I can come back.” He rubbed his nose, looking past the young lady’s right shoulder, which was a bad idea, because he just rubbed a bit of potion on his nose.

Jessica's irritation vanished as she caught a whiff of his..smell. Who naturally smelled like that? Or was it a new line of cologne that smelled like....pinecones and leaves? And a hint of nutmeg with a spice to it that could only come from her mother's cooking? It reminded her so much of her hometown that she couldn't help sniffing juuust a bit. Whaaaa?! "I'm sorry - it's no problem. I can help." She set her coffee down and ran a hand through her jet-black hair before glancing around.

Erm.

She knew what she was doing. Totally totally.

"Let me just - " paperwork. Right. "Your name, then, to start. And we can go from there." It was weird to do a request with the person...like, right in front of you. Normally these requests came in on paper and they could handle them without the scrutiny. Jessica gestured for him to follow her to a line of filing cabinets, her wand ready to procure his papers.

Why was she sniffing. Did she have a cold? He blinked his blue eyes a few times and patted himself down looking for a hanky. Only he didn’t have one, which was probably a good thing. Knowing his luck, it would have even more of the potion on it. He was smelling tilled earth. Funny there was no reason to smell that sent here. Adam gave his head a shake. If he didn’t know better, he’d have believed he was back in the Love Chamber working with the Love Potions down there. Or…wrapped up in a blanket with – It took him a moment to think of Zita and not the lady he was talking with; she didn’t smell like strawberries and lavender…the lady smelled like coffee and vanilla and cut grass….” Mein vhat – oh oh… Ah-dam Ger-ulf.”

Focus on the coffee smell. Adam didn’t like coffee. Not after he had been taken over by Reil and drank enough coffee in a week to put a rocket into space. The smell cleared his foggy brain a little. ” Maybe I schould bringkt ze paperwork…” he got distracted again. Was that a happy goofy smile forming on his face as he thought about hot chocolate and vanilla cookies and snuggling by the fire? It sure was!

No cold here, Adam, just a strong affinity for whatever you're wearing, buddy. At least Jessica had moved closer to the filing system, and so she smell wasn't as all-encompassing as it had been before. "So...starts with a G....um....how do you spell Gerfulf?" she asked as she used her wand to start flipping through files. It was either a U or an E, it sounded like, but she wanted to be sure. "And yeah..bringing the correct paperwork might have helped a bit," she side-eyed the man, trying to throw subtle shade, but when she noticed his full on GOOFY GRIN, she had to turn her head.

What in the world was he GRINNING at? And what for? She squinted at the man. It was disconcerting to say the least! Jessica merely cleared her throat, though. She wasn't one to normally point out when people were behaving in a nonstandard way. But her cheeks were turning red at how awkward she felt...so...

Um yeah.

She needed to find his file. And his smell was back. It was soooOooo distracting. She began to clear her throat yet again.

Adam had been about to say ‘bring the paperwork back at a different time’ especially since he needed Airey’s signatures on the paperwork, but you know, the idea of hot chocolate and cookies could be awfully distracting! And like a man on a hot chocolate and cookie sugar high, Adam was bouncing a little. Bouncing and smiling like a big ol’ goof. ”Vhat?” he asked again staring off in the wrong direction, although this because of his crappy eyes and not because of the effects of the Amortentia potion on his robes. In fact, Adam was usually pretty immune to the smells of the potion unless he was standing next to the fountain. It must be the bit he’d rubbed on his nose that was affecting him so.

”Oh…A-D-“ Wait, she meant his last name. And hearing her voiced he realized he was looking in the wrong direction. He turned, although he still wasn’t looking directly at the young lady. He tried to wipe the grin off his face but couldn’t.”G-E-R-U-L-F.” For some reason her comment about paperwork penetrated his brain. Adam might be goofy and come off as a complete weirdo, but he was actually quite acute. And before he had lost his eyesight he had been very good at reading people. He’d become good at catching tones in people’s voices although he still missed being able to read facial ques. So, despite the goody grin on his face and the happy tone of his voice, he knew something he had done was irritating the lady who was helping him. ”You schould haf ze papers, under Lefel Nuen. (nine) Pause. ”Are you sick? I can brew pepper up potion undt be back in an hour.”

(ten) Pause. ”Are you sick? I can brew pepper up potion undt be back in an hour.”


The interaction grew more confusing the longer Jessica was entangled in it.

She hadn't noticed anything awry about his eyesight until she noticed him...not looking at her as he spoke. Gosh, this made her feel horrible! She had been judging him so harshly in her head! But then she remembered he was here at random requesting his work visa be updated without an appointment or a call ahead (she had not yet realized he worked here) and she felt like even if he DID had eye issues, he was still being a nuisance!

No matter, though. Jessica had dealt with far worse people, and his smell was enticing her to be nicer than she wanted to be. She let out a small, genuine smile as he began to spell his first name and then corrected himself. Funny. She used her wand to peruse the G's, getting to the GE's, until she got to his surname and yanked the file. "Got it!" she said happily as she tucked it under her arm. "Okay. Okay." Official Ministry business! SHE. JESSICA. OFFICIAL. It was all very exciting for her, and she thought it was all made better by the chic office attire she had on. There was something about shoulder pads (minor ones!) that made one feel powerful, and so Jessica was reeeeeeling.

Wait. What. "Lefel? But your name is Gerulf." She was vastly confused. "I have your papers right her, sir," she said gently. "And no! I'm not sick! Why'd you think that?" she laughed just a little to reassure him of her perfectly not-sickness. "Are you a potioneer, then, Adam?" she asked to make small conversation.

Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.

Pause.

Why was he bouncing? He forced himself to stop moving, although a foot might have still been tapping out some inaudible rhythm. A piece of hair fell into his face, tickling his nose. He sniffed, then sneezed into his elbow. ”Entschuldigen Sie,” he said giving his head a shake. With the sneeze, his head a was a little clearer and his toes stopped tapping. Although he did have a hankering for a sugar cookie for some reason. ”Ja,” he said giving her direction a funny look. ”Lefel Neun.” What about his words did she not understand? He knew his accent was thick, but still. Maybe he should look for another employee to help him. ”Meinsteries,”

At least she had found his papers. Good. Maybe he could take them down to his department and get Airey to sign off on them and then come back another day when he might get someone who could understand him. ” You keep coughing.” Her laugh seemed a little weird to him, but perhaps it was nerves. He’d found that people who learned he worked in Mysteries tended to be nervous around him, although why he wasn’t sure. ”Ja,” he said in response to her question bout potions. ” If you need a potion, I can put ein togezer undt bring it back after Flamsteed has signed off on mein papers.” Airey shouldn’t be too hard to find. It was, what? Lunchtime? He was probably by the vending machine getting that gross hard ice cream he liked. But first he'd stop by the food court and see if he could find a sugar cookie.

Jessica felt incredibly stupid AND insensitive because she was honestly having a hard time deciphering some of his words. She got the gist, but what in the world did he mean by "Lefel"?! His name was ADAM. There was some major miscommunication going on, and Jessica disliked it enormously! So she just nodded and smiled and pretended to be.....you know, understanding him.

OH HE WORKED IN MYSTERIES. Her annoyance at a person randomly popping in to redo paperwork was gone because duh! He worked here! Jessica smiled as she glanced at him, this time her smile genuine. "Mysteries! I haven't gone down there yet, but one of my friends works there and I've been meaning to bother him actually! He's new, too, like me! David Truebridge," she grinned. "Do you know him?" She couldn't remember what exactly David had said he did down there, though. hmm.

This was such an odd encounter. "I keep sneezing because you smell so lovely - " gosh, had she said that aloud??? Well, it was sure true!

Finally! She seemed to get what he meant. Really, he thought this floor had translations charms on it. But maybe like the lifts, they weren’t working? It was possible. ”Vell, careful vhen you do go. Ze Entry Chamber can be ofervelming to people vho are not used to it.” He briefly remembered the time his girlfriend had tried to come visit and he hadn’t thought to warn her. ”It turns.” he clarified, twirling a finger in the air. Spins would have been a better word, but Adam didn’t know it. Hopefully that was enough of an explanation.

Ahhhh so she was new. No wonder this conversation seemed weird. Although he still wasn’t sure why he had a craving for a sugar cookie. As for a David…there were a few new people down in Mysteries this year, but he thought that name sounded familiar. Because yes…he must have been the bloke who had been ease dropping in the Hall of Prophesies. Not that he had heard anything interesting, just an odd story about a hiccupping solution being mistaken for tea once. ” I may haf once met him.” Was it rude to say David hadn’t really introduced himself well? Then again, a lot of his coworkers down there had the tendency to ease drop instead of just walking up and joining a conversation right-out.

He smelled lovely? What did that mean? Adam’s brown furrowed. ”I smell?” he asked. ”No no… I bazzed zis morning.” He plucked at the collar of his shirt and gave it a sniff.

Spins would have been a better word, but Adam didn’t know it. Hopefully that was enough of an explanation.

Ahhhh so she was new. No wonder this conversation seemed weird. Although he still wasn’t sure why he had a craving for a sugar cookie. As for a David…there were a few new people down in Mysteries this year, but he thought that name sounded familiar. Because yes…he must have been the bloke who had been ease dropping in the Hall of Prophesies.

Jessica nodded as she listened to him. The Department of Mysteries just seemed so....interesting and isolated, and that was one reason why she found it so intriguing. "It turns?" she tilted her head to the side and watched his finger. "Sounds cool, actually," she chuckled and went back to her desk to set his paperwork down. "He is kinda quiet, so he may not have spoken to you. Only reason I know him is that we were partners on a game-show together last summer." And it just so happened that they both ended up here!

"Not a BAD smell. Like a good smell. Like outdoorsy...and like my hometown in the Philippines." She said quickly, not wanting him to think she thought that he smelled poorly! "Back to your paperwork, though! You just needed to renew your visa, right?" His work visa. "I can have that done for you TODAY." She nodded a lot and grinned.

Cool? Not, it wasn’t cold, but he merely shrugged at the comment. If she ever visited, he was sure she’d discover it for herself. He just hoped the discovery was a better experience for her than it had been for a few people he knew. As for this David, well, he had tired to be quiet. Too bad for him, he’d tried to spy on a man with excellent hearing. And speaking of hearing, the lady sounded like she was on the move again. He turned, following the footsteps. The game show, however, sounded interesting. ”Game schow?” he asked.

Outdoorsy? Philippines? Well, that’s not exactly how Adam would describe his cologne. Nope, that would be more of a woody floral scent. Pause. Well, maybe one could describe his cologne as outdoorsy then? At least she didn’t think he smelled like three-day old gym socks. ”Ja, paperwork.” he agreed. ”Today? Good. Good.” He didn’t like being in other parts of the ministry. Usually bad things happened to him when he spent too much time away from Level 9. Well….bad things happened to him on Level 9 too, but at least those never seemed to be personal. Adam just had bad luck. ” Zis schould be all you need from me . Ja?” He reached into the inner pocket of his lab coat and pulled out his passport, wand permit, and a few other pieces of warn, well folded papers.

Oh, if only he knew she did not mean COLD-cool. She meant NEAT-cool. Awesome-cool. She simply nodded at his question. "Yeah! It was pretty cool. It was a a game show with a bunch of challenges. We were paired based on one person being the "brains" and one person representing a "beauty." I entered as a beauty even though I think I'm intelligent...but I guess that seems a little conceited now that I say it aloud!" she chuckled and blushed in an embarrassed sort of way. "But you can't live life without a little confidence, eh?" Jessica believed she was both smart AND nice-looking, all right? All right.

"Mhmm! That all looks great!" She sat at her desk and scooted her chair in further. "If you set all that down on my desk and I'll give it a look through, we'll be done in no time, sir! Adam." She said with a charming smile up in his direction.

This was all so odd. What an odd start to her day. She wondered why David thought about this Adam fellow.

This was all so odd. What an odd start to her day. She wondered why David thought about this Adam fellow.

Because of his eyes, Adam could neither confirm nor deny her declaration that she was beautiful, but he certainly admired her confidence. Besides, she was a coworker and he didn’t think he girlfriend would approve of him calling another girl ‘pretty.’ ”Ja,” he confirmed noncommittally to her question. ” Confidence is a good zing,” but not in spades. Because overconfidence lead to trouble. Or at least, that’s what he always thought. ” Did you vin?” he asked, honestly curious. It might be something he could ask this David about the next time he ran into him.

Put them on her desk? Um…right… ok. He looked down at the papers in his hands. He could do this without knocking something over. He had faith in himself! He took a step forward and put them on the desk. Then took a few steps backwards trying not to beam with pride. Something so simple shouldn’t cause him so much pleasure. ” Flamsteed schould be in his office all day, if you need to send anyzing fur auzzoring.” he offered.

With the recent broadcast she heard over the radio, Louise had to wonder if it really was a bright future. Would travel to the Americas be affected? Would her family be able to travel here? As a consulate, she shouldn't have to worry about since traveling was a big part of her job anyway and yet the announcement had her more stressed than it should.

Louise gazed around the office wondering what her colleagues were thinking about that announcement. If they heard it, but since it was from the minister, surely they tuned in? There was still something about it though that seemed off .... and she almost wished she had gotten to know the Minister better in her short tenure with the Ministry to maybe be able to pick it out.

Jessica was paying attention to things, too, but she was rather distracted of late with her own personal life to really think too deeply. Her love life had taken a turn (a good one!) and she felt herself slipping into that honeymoon stage of the relationship.

But she was an adult; this was FUN. For now.

She had a tea with David's mother to prepare for, and that had honestly occupied her more than anything else going on in the world. Her blinders were on, so to speak, but not purposely. She was at her desk, translating some paperwork as she went, when she looked up and saw Louise looking rather frowny. "You okay?" she asked, her tone that of a concerned acquaintance and nothing more or less. "You look worried."

If Louise was being honest, it probably wasn't just the broadcast that had her mind preoccupied with worry and dread. And had Jessica discussed her recent turn of positive in the romantic department, Louise probably would have felt even worse. She was thirty years old and her own love affairs were stable, in that they were still non-existent. Not to mention her best friend (only friend?) was now married and they barely hung out anymore. So really there was that to feel horrible over too, even if usually she was content. Or so she told herself.

She glanced over when Jessica spoke and almost wasn't even sure she was talking to her. But a glance around the office told her she had been in fact speaking to her. "Me? I'm just ... Peachy. Or no , not really. The broadcast from the minister has me concerned and overthinking. And I just ... You ever feel like you're surrounded by people and yet so alone in this world?" gosh it had been a long time since she spoke to a girl friend, hadn't it?

Lucky for Louise, Jessica wasn't the oversharing type. She sipped her coffee casually as she listened to her. Louise certainly didn't look peachy. And then she carried on, and Jessica furrowed her eyebrows.

Ah.

Did she need someone to talk to? Jessica pushed aside her paperwork and folded her hands neatly atop her desk. She loooooooved listening to people's problems. And then helping them figure them out with the best course of action. It made her feel so involved. In some ways, she missed being a publicist. The materialism of it made it feel so much simpler than what she was doing now. "I do know that feeling. All too well." She spoke gently, in an even tone. "Are you feeling that way, Louise?" Jessica had a variety of ways to offer to help, but the top three she could see clearly in her brain. "Because it seems more than the minister's broadcast that has you at unease."

It hardly seemed enough to cause someone to feel alone. Did Louise have children at Hogwarts? Jessica couldn't remember. She knew Louise was...single, right? Ugh. She wished she had paid more attention to her coworkers' lives. Maybe she was...a bit self absorbed. As someone whose job it was, not so long ago, to be completely involved with another person's life, you sure are taking a left turn there, Jess...

Definitely lucky for her because while Louise was generally the type to be happy and content for those around her, she sometimes couldn't help but wallow. Sometimes.

She hated feeling like this though. And yet the fact that Jessica seemed soooo kind and wanting to be involved a listening ear was just ... enough. She gave her a small smile. "A bit. But I'll be okay, really. It's just... there was something in the broadcast that has me worried that maybe this all isn't for the greater good. Usually when people say things of that extreme it's to cover up for well... extreme acts of injustice. Terror. Horrors." She shuttered, not even sure she should be considering all this and yet, maybe it was the journalistic part of brain that was thirsty for a good story.

For a moment, Jessica pondered why the broadcast would have been any cause for alarm. Perhaps it was because Jessica didn't have kids or anything yet. But...some of the word choice, diction, was definitely interesting. "Anytime someone says anything is for the "greater good," I guess it's alarming. Kind of...gross sounding words altogether like that." She gave a brief shiver before looking back at Louise. "But I think we'd know if something bad were happening at Hogwarts. I mean...there's a LOT of parents with kids over there."

Jessica hadn't attended the school, nor was she as familiar with some of the school's past as she should be. Granted, weird, horrible, and bad things happened at all magic schools because it was full of UNSURPRESSED MAGIC.

It had been a few days since the Gala and the debacle at the Dragon Reserve. He'd been receiving correspondence from a few nearby countries that Dragons were on the loose and he had forwarded the information directly Aurora in hopes that she and her peoples could locate and return the missing creatures to their sanctuary. But it seemed the dragons remained at large. In fact, he wondered a little if she hadn't been receiving his memos. Maybe he needed to take a walk to Level 4 and deliver the information in person.

In fact, he really should take a walk down to Level 9 while he was at it. He hadn't the time to check in with Jane and on Airey and he really needed to. Still, he had a few things around his own department that needed tending to first. Such as checking in on his employees. Which was why he was strolling through the office spaces with a cup of tea in his hand. Best way to let your employees know you were available to talk was to be visible right?

Louise still wasn't sure what to make of the gala and the Minister's speech. Everything about it just seemed off-putting and she needed to know if it wasn't just her feeling this way. She was almost positive that Arabella and Aegis and Dylan felt similarly, but they didn't work in her department. There was something about knowing those you worked with in International Cooperation if they really felt all this blood status shenanigans was for the greater good? What did that even mean?

She didn't have kids and wasn't even sure she knew anyone presently at Hogwarts, but there was that guy's outbursts too about kids not being allowed home for christmas? How was THAT for the greater good?

Rubbing her temples, she glanced up from her workspace to see her department head strolling through. It was now or never, but how exactly did one go about and ask something seemingly so touchy? Something that could get one killed? If there was one thing she learned from the gala it was that some these alliance people would do anything to get what they want. Was her department head part of the alliance? Was feigning to keep his position? "Morning boss," she said, instantly regretting her choice of greeting. Because all these thoughts in her head and that was the best she could muster out?!? Nothing more?? She was a strong, independent woman. Surely she ought to be able to say or ask something more.

There was something about knowing those you worked with in International Cooperation if they really felt all this blood status shenanigans was for the greater good? What did that even mean?

She didn't have kids and wasn't even sure she knew anyone presently at Hogwarts, but there was that guy's outbursts too about kids not being allowed home for christmas? How was THAT for the greater good?

Rubbing her temples, she glanced up from her workspace to see her department head strolling through. It was now or never, but how exactly did one go about and ask something seemingly so touchy? Something that could get one killed? If there was one thing she learned from the gala it was that some these alliance people would do anything to get what they want. Was her department head part of the alliance? Was feigning to keep his position? "Morning boss," she said, instantly regretting her choice of greeting. Because all these thoughts in her head and that was the best she could muster out?!? Nothing more?? She was a strong, independent woman. Surely she ought to be able to say or ask something more.

Sip...errm.... He swallowed with a slight cough. Why was it nobody ever said anything until you had a mouthful? He cleared his throat and then smiled. "Morning Ms. Hamilton." He gave her a smile as he wiped a little tea off his chin. He hadn't forgotten the look he'd received across the room from Louise at the gala. He had been glad to see she had kept quiet though, because otherwise he might be looking for her like people were looking for Jordan and Nykto now. "How are things with you?" He paused to leaned over her cubicle wall, resting his cup on the ledge. "Anything problems with the new pile of VISA applications?"

He yawned. "Sorry, Radhika's still not sleeping through the night," he said referencing his daughter. There was a forced feeling to his casual air almost as he if he was trying to hard. After all, it was hard to feel comfortable with the word "half blood" on the nametag pinned to his lapel and a husband at home labeled "muggle born." Thankfully his daughter was safe with his parents at the moment instead of down in the daycare.

It was science and psychology, clearly. Not that Louise could read his thoughts, but if she could, well, that would have been the answer. She shrugged at the question though. Surely he'd known her own nametag had half-blood on it as well. It was hard to miss. She wondered vaguely what her father, working as an auror for MACUSA had to deal with in another country? Was it the same there? She made a mental note to call him later, only to realize she still hadn't properly answered Conley. "Am I really meant to reject anyone with a drop of muggle in their blood?" Because that was the takeaway. Also, it meant if her own mother had applied for a visa, she'd be rejected as well?

She smiled though at the conversation switch to his daughter. "She probably sleeps when you're at work. Somehow you need to get her to be awake during the day, so she can sleep at night." But what did she know of kids? Her siblings were now adults and the only babies in her life were Arabella and Aegis', whom she spoiled any chance she got.

But what did she know of kids? Her siblings were now adults and the only babies in her life were Arabella and Aegis', whom she spoiled any chance she got.

It was clear that something was preoccupying Louise and well, Conley could hardly hold that against her since he himself was preoccupied 80% of the times these days. In the past, it had been his new baby daughter. Now? It was the state of the world and the changes in the Ministry that were NOT for the greater good and well, the people who were working for him. And he didn't just mean in DIMC. He cleared his throat before he answered as if he was uncomfortable with what he had to tell her, because, well he was. He had never been a good actor and so a frown formed on his face. "That is the official decree I was given." He lowered his voice just a little. "But before you do, please make sure they pass my desk so I can personally review them." Because he planned on using an old loophole that granted emergency appointments for anyone he could. If someone was going to get in trouble for not following orders, it was going to be him, not his staff.

He raised his voice so he was speaking normally. "Sadly her grandparents are currently watching her and I bet she and her grand-père (grandfather) take long naps in his rocking chair." His father had always wanted a granddaughter and had been ecstatic when Conley and Sachin had brought her home. "Spoilers her rotten he does," He yawned again. "And I'm sure my père (dad) finds it quite amusing that she keeps us up at night." Colt Phora had a wicked sense of humor like that.

He took another sip of his tea. "How is your family doing? Your dad's with MACUSA correct?" Was he fishing for information? Indeed he was. He hoped Louise was smart enough to catch on.
