Default Ministry's Karaoke Night



Imagine this: you're in a room full of people you work with. Some you might like, some you might not like as much, some you might not even know. And yet, you're all awkwardly swaying to a song you've heard before but can't quite place at the moment. The melody sounds familiar but the lyrics...the singer...something's not quite adding up.

When you finally lift your gaze to the small stage that's been set up, confusion written all across your face, it all suddenly makes sense. It's that woman with the crimson hair you ran across the other day at the Ministry's food court. And she's singing (?) her own rendition of a very popular Wrock song, trying to keep up with the lyrics magically appearing in the air in front of her.

Yes, this is the Ministry's Karaoke Night and you're all going to have so much fun!

Of course, singing is NOT mandatory. However, your department heads are watching and they're always looking for volunteers to do paperwork. And surely, if you spent your night belting out songs into a microphone, you'd be way too tired for any sort of paperwork...

Hot drinks and hipster treats provided.

Simon didn’t sing. Not ever.

Well unless he was possessed by a pirate ghost that made him sing sea shanties against his will. But then he was…by the very concept of possession…not exactly himself at that point. Today he was very much himself which was why he was sticking to the idea of NOT singing. Yep. Not happening.

But the security head was there at the Karaoke Night regardless. He could welcome the new employees and hang out with the returning ones in this new all the same without indulging in the ritual singing. Everyone would be better off as the only time his voice should be raised is when getting the attention of his quidditch players or running security.

Karaoke night was in interesting decision, Frankie had to admit. Now, did the Auror know how to carry a tune? No. The boy was tone deaf and Merlin knew his 'singing' would likely cause a banshee to run for her galleons. But was that going to stop him from hopping on stage at some point that evening? Probably not. His Gryffindor energy was strong today, and the whole point of them being here was to have fun and relax.

That was easier said that done for some though. After getting a drink in his hand, he scanned the underground coffee club, more so out of Auror instinct than anything. His blue eyes quickly locked in on Simon. Naturally, the blond casually made his way over to the man, swiftly swaying to the tune that was being sung.

"Fancy a duet later, mate?" he asked the Head of Security with a cheeky grin. Of course he knew that the man would outright refuse, but it never hurt to poke a little fun at Mr. Serious.


So there was an underground coffee club in the Ministry? Link found that a bit odd to say the least. Nevertheless, here he was, one of the newer employees to the government body, present and ready to mingle. In spite of the unexpected location, he was actually excited for the event. Everything about it appealed for his need to be a social butterfly, not to mention the fact that he was a singer and once was in a band until his life turned upside down.

Was there a queue? He was just curious, not that he was going to be signing himself up quite yet. It was a bit too early to amaze his new co-workers with his angelic voice. He needed to check the song list before doing so anyway. It would be a bit iconic to wow them with a song from the band he was a part of a decade ago and maybe take some on a trip of nostalgia for those who were familiar with The Howlers...

In the meantime, however, the werewolf advisor was going to get a few drinks in him. Priorities.

AHA! But do you know who DID sing? One Charles Hollingberry of former The Winged Horsemen glory. They had not been in popular circulation since 2042...2045 at the latest, but Charles was hoping that the karaoke box had at least one or two of their hits listed. Boggart in the Closet or Lavender Perfume would be his preferred options if he had anything to say about it. Now his musical endeavours were mostly limited to acoustic guitar and bedtime melodies for his grandchildren.

Hardly anything to complain about.

"How about all three of us and we make it a band!" he proclaimed jovially, a hand placed firmly on the shoulders of both Simon and Frankie, giving each of the men fatherly squeezes to the shoulder.

His practice gaze gracing the room as habit kicked in, Simon noticed as the younger man made his way over to him. A raised eyebrow at the remark, he found himself chuckling softly in an attempt to push away the awkward notion and shaking his head. “I’m pretty sure within the large employment compliment of the Ministry, you could find a MUCH better partner for that duet.” Unless the reason for the request was to permanently make people fearful of him and him singing.

And then there was the addition of a certain minister into the mix and at the playful question, Simon was reminded of the man’s past in the music world. His gaze turning to the older man as he was brought into an almost group hug. “I’m not sure my accompaniment would do much justice to your own voice, Minister,” he mused in all honesty, inwardly hoping it was a decent response to keep him safe. Not that he thought he could likely deny if the man gave into too much prodding. He was the boss after all.

He would just really…really regret it the morning.

And need a few drinks.

Was Chloe planning on singing??? Absolutely! But first things first, she needed to get some adult beverages into her system even though she was plenty extroverted enough to go on stage, she hadn't really sung since her days in the Frog Choir. Also this Underground Coffee Club was rather neat and had the redheaded portkey master general glancing around the place. None of her department had arrived yet, to her knowledge. She did recognize some familiar faces regardless, mostly just due to her decade of being at the Ministry, to which she nodded and smiled at politely, as she made her way over to the refreshments bar. Perhaps she could convince someone from her department to sing a duet with her? Pity Hayley didn't work at the Ministry as she was sure she could convince her faux sister to sing with her. Maybe Grace - did she still work here? Honestly, Chloe had no idea since somehow time got the best of her and she hadn't really kept in close contact with her. Archer was out; she hadn't seen him in awhile and honestly she had no idea where he was. She wasn't opposed to a solo, of course. Just a couple beverages and she'd be good to go.



Karaoke??? UH .... YES PLEASE!!! Louise immediately found her way over to the stage to scribble her name down along with the wrock song she would be singing to. Which was an American Wrock song, actually, but surely her British coworkers would appreciate something from another country, yes? Maybe? It was one of her favorite songs and something she actually knew the words to which meant she didn't need to simply lip sync. Did she know anyone here at the moment? No, but that meant it would actually be EASIER to belt her tunes out because she didn't know them. Except the Minister. Cause who didn't know the Minister if you'd been working for at least a little while.... but surely he didn't seem the type to judge?

It was strange turning up to a work event without the intention of distracting one of her work husbands. But Eliora was just grateful for the distraction that was this karaoke night. And even more so that there was coffee on tap for her to get through what was always a lonely night without James by her side.

NEVERTHELESS. Eliora Dodderidge was present, sitting on a stool with a cup of coffee in either hand. "FOUR OUTTA TEN. NExXXXXttttt!!!!!!!!!!!" Please. Someone that didn't warble or scream or screech or wail. There was only so much coffee that made this stuff tolerable. At least boyfriend was in charge of getting the late night snacks in for when she was home tonight and also in charge of the kids. BOYFRIEND. AND. THE. KIDS.

Also... did anyone remember how the last orientation event had led to the beginning of her relationship? She'd reminded everyone at every staff meeting over the whole year. So. SO.

Karaoke and coffee plus in the evening sounds like a strange combo but perhaps this could work. The only way to find out if it did is for Jonathan to attend it. Who knows maybe he would be in the mood to belt his chest over a good song. As long as there is coffee he is good to go.

Finding his way towards the entrance, Jonathan spotted a few of the people he is familiar with. Minister Hollingberry was early- then again the man enjoys mingling and perhaps karaoke-ing too. He flashed him a smile before he helped himself with a mug filled with brewed coffee.

This is going to be an awesome night for sure!

This was... her worst nightmare.

January liked order. She liked things professional. She liked things quiet, neat and tidy. She did not like karaoke. She did not like loud music. She also did not like the idea of public embarrassment. Although, she had to admit she KNEW the Minister was going to have a go at the karaoke and it was a little tempting to watch because she knew he'd give it his all.

But for now, the Senior Undersecretary stood near the back of the venue with a drink in her hand, merely watching the party unfold. She wasn't tempted at all to join, she just.. lurked in the back, her hair pinned back too neatly for a party and her clothing (a pantsuit) far too dressed up for a place like this.

Marcel, once again, was unsure why he had come to this. He was not into large groups and loud music .... which again.. reminded him that he is getting old. There had once been a day where he was interested in this stuff, but that was one kid and year before. But he was determined to make this move worth it. His ex wife was insisted that she wanted Jonah to go to Hogwarts, but they had years before he started school. True to her form she packed him up and moved back to London anyway, leaving Marcel no choice but to follow..... but he digresses ... lost in his thoughts about that...

He was here to make new friends ... okay, he wasn't sure he even wanted friends, but he needed an outlet and what better way to be introduced to your new co-workers.... He knew there was a lot of actual work to be done, the one time he had stopped by his new 'office' there was already a stack at least 10 people deep that needed to be re-tested for the appiration licence, so he didn't have a whole lot of time to waste here.

Default Mentions January and the group of men discussing Kareoke

It was curious how singing on stage affected everyone differently. Some loved being up on show and others just hated the spot light on them. Delyth? She was somewhere in between. Even as the usually curly blonde entered the underground coffee establishment, she had a mixture of emotions in tucked under her now straightened hair. Nerves. Excitement. Giddiness. Curiosity. It was weighted on her conscious as she removed her smart black coat, revealing a black leather mini dress. Situations like these were always awkward when it came to knowing what to wear but she’d made an effort today having sacrificed her life to the ministry since she’d started. Besides, this was nothing in comparison to what she’d wore at the event last year. Oh, how she missed wearing the gold dress that had got her many appreciative looks.

Placing her coat down on one of the seats, the sleek haired blonde made her way over to the bar, avoiding the group of men who were clearly discussing what song they should sing. She had not had enough beverages to get on stage yet. As she made her way to the bar, she couldn’t help but notice her head of department (January Bones) lurking at the back alone with a drink in her one hand. Truth be told, she was actually glad to see her, even if she didn’t plan on talking to her just so that she wasn’t the only one too dressed up for a place like this. Giving her a friendly smile, she ordered a drink at the bar and turned to face the room, ready to be overwhelmed by some awful singing because let’s be honest, it was the dreadful singing that people came for really.

Karaoke?

She thought he was joking, but here they were having a full orientation singing away. As she walked in she looked around to see who was all here yet. Was any of her own employees that she should be greeting? Not seeing any just yet she smiled and headed over to the person she did see. She hadn't come with him, because she had a few things to do at home and said she would just meet him.


As she approached him her smile grew, "Can I be the groupie of this band? I'm not really much of a singer, but I can support pretty well." Nodding a greeting to the other two that he was near she couldn't help how she looked at the minister, he was bouncing off the most energy and she could tell he was excited about this event. Victoria, on the other hand, would have preferred a more quiet setting, but it was going to be a good time either way she assumed.

Lucien was not excited for this. Not one bit, but he has a daughter who very much loves singing and it was getting awfully close to her birthday. Too close to say no to her when she saw the flyer amongst his work papers when he was picking her up. He should’ve thought that through better.

Now here he is, walking into something with coworkers he gladly doesn’t know and with a jumping 5 year old trying to contain her excitement. Trying. He really couldn’t help the small smile that he got as she ran over to the song book trying to find a good one. Of course she’d probably be bringing it to him any minute because she wouldn’t be able to read most of them.

Jonathan was not a big fan of singing unless he finishes a bottle of fire whiskey but since tonight they're drinking brewed coffee he's positive that he might not sing and especially with a crowd. He shook his head and suddenly spots food. Y E S ! ! ! That's what he's looking forward to other than the coffee of course. He got himself a small plate and did pick a few finger food snacks on the table.

Looking around, he spotted Miss January Bones this time. He walked towards her with his small plate of snacks and smiled. "hey, boss" he chuckled softly as he greeted her. "Are you going to sing any songs later?" conversation starter, yup.

Conley stood with his back against the wall slowly sipping a cup of tea as he watched the spectacle. He had, of course, chosen a spot that allowed him to see the entire room and gave absolutely no-one the ability to sneak up behind him. Was he being ridiculously paranoid? Absolutely. If you looked directly at him, was he a bit jittery looking? Definitely. Could one chalk it up to too much caffeine? Possibly.

Getting him to participate in an events would require adult drinks. Not because he required liquid courage in order to get up in front of people and sing, but because it was getting up in front of his peers and underlings. Alas…Conley wasn’t partaking of such beverages. He usually only indulged in a glass (maybe two) when at work function. But with the way he had been feeling lately, there was no way he was mixing alcohol with his nerves. Instead, he sipped his tea, wishing desperately that Sachin was with him. Lately his fiancé was the only one who made him feel less apprehensive.

Unlike himself, it appeared that a few people were having fun. The Minister of course was in his element. A few of the Ministry leaders were lingering around too. His eyes fell on them, wondering if they too were feeling a bit…twitchy. January who happened to be nearby looked about as happy as ever. He didn’t see anyone from his department, but that didn’t surprise him. Not with the news that had been coming in from various parts of the wizarding community. Nope, he was content to stay near the wall and just people watch.


~~*~~

Did the Ministry seriously throw a party every year? No wonder nothing ever got fixed around here.

The only reason Valentin had come to one of these last year, was because it had been a big gala. Galas meant dancing. Food. Wine. Dancing….

And this meant – what exactly? He turned to Alba who had somehow talked him into accompanying her to the party. He still hadn’t figured out what sort of spell the young lady had woven over him to make him so…accommodating. ”Singing? You did not sai anytheng abut singing…” he began to turn around and walk out of the coffee shop.

If anyone expected Caleb Newell to sing - they were going to be sadly mistaken. He didn't even sing in the shower. He was not in the mood to make a fool of himself in front of his co-workers - but he was more than happy to watch them make fools of THEMSELVES.

Straightening his sleeves absentmindedly, he headed over to the treats table and broodily began to munch on some crisps as he watched the latest employee stumble up to the stage to embarrass themselves.

Stella didn't expect much from this little work sanctioned soirée, but figured it was as good of an intro to the British Ministry as she was going to get. She would just have to use it as a precursor to a far more interesting evening. Coffee was not the ideal partner to karaoke and everyone knew it, so it would be interesting to see if that was all there was on offer.

Not that she was against good coffee, or even actually bad coffee, which in her opinion still had its place since nothing brought people together like being able to complain in unison about something that in the grand scheme of things was just not that big of a deal.

So far she had only met her immediate boss, and she wasn't in any hurry to scurry around all bright eyed and eager seeking introductions. Her legs were too long to scurry effectively anyway.

How long was it acceptable for her to stay before she could cut out of here anyway?

It was weighted on her conscious as she removed her smart black coat, revealing a black leather mini dress. Situations like these were always awkward when it came to knowing what to wear but she’d made an effort today having sacrificed her life to the ministry since she’d started. Besides, this was nothing in comparison to what she’d wore at the event last year. Oh, how she missed wearing the gold dress that had got her many appreciative looks.

Placing her coat down on one of the seats, the sleek haired blonde made her way over to the bar, avoiding the group of men who were clearly discussing what song they should sing. She had not had enough beverages to get on stage yet. As she made her way to the bar, she couldn’t help but notice her head of department (January Bones) lurking at the back alone with a drink in her one hand. Truth be told, she was actually glad to see her, even if she didn’t plan on talking to her just so that she wasn’t the only one too dressed up for a place like this. Giving her a friendly smile, she ordered a drink at the bar and turned to face the room, ready to be overwhelmed by some awful singing because let’s be honest, it was the dreadful singing that people came for really.

Straightening his sleeves absentmindedly, he headed over to the treats table and broodily began to munch on some crisps as he watched the latest employee stumble up to the stage to embarrass themselves.
Was Chloe ready to sing? Almooossttt but first things first, find some familiar faces. Or well maybe not, cause embarrassing yourself in front of a room full of strangers was actually kinda better?? Wasn't it? Speaking of which, she did recognize the girl vaguely and she was looking super cute. Which Chloe was never one to shy away from compliments - or negativity either but that was needed in this case. Steering herself over to the girl for a brief moment, she grinned at the blond, "You're looking super cute! Love the dress!"

And then Caleb walked in. She had never been terribly close friends with him but he had dated her best friend and they did graduate together so she quickly turned from the girl and waved at Caleb, "Caleb!!!! Hiiii!!!! You want to sing a song with me?" Her eyes were bright and hopeful.

If you looked directly at him, was he a bit jittery looking? Definitely. Could one chalk it up to too much caffeine? Possibly.

Getting him to participate in an events would require adult drinks. Not because he required liquid courage in order to get up in front of people and sing, but because it was getting up in front of his peers and underlings. Alas…Conley wasn’t partaking of such beverages. He usually only indulged in a glass (maybe two) when at work function. But with the way he had been feeling lately, there was no way he was mixing alcohol with his nerves. Instead, he sipped his tea, wishing desperately that Sachin was with him. Lately his fiancé was the only one who made him feel less apprehensive.

Unlike himself, it appeared that a few people were having fun. The Minister of course was in his element. A few of the Ministry leaders were lingering around too. His eyes fell on them, wondering if they too were feeling a bit…twitchy. January who happened to be nearby looked about as happy as ever. He didn’t see anyone from his department, but that didn’t surprise him. Not with the news that had been coming in from various parts of the wizarding community. Nope, he was content to stay near the wall and just people watch.
Welll there was at least one person she recognized and Louise wondered if he didn't see her? Because her boss definitely hadn't noticed her standing there and she had to wonder if she was invisible. Guess he had a lot on his mind. And she kind had been preoccupied herself over the last few months keeping a low profile. Making her way over to him, she smiled his way. "Mr Phora. Nice evening, isn't it? You going to delight us with a song?"

And this meant – what exactly? He turned to Alba who had somehow talked him into accompanying her to the party. He still hadn’t figured out what sort of spell the young lady had woven over him to make him so…accommodating. ”Singing? You did not sai anytheng abut singing…” he began to turn around and walk out of the coffee shop.


Alba was having a great time. She couldn't believe that she had actually convinced Valentin to come! She had fully expected a no to her owl, but since her friend had gone back to France she had missed him greatly, and was so happy to see he had said yes.... even if she had blurred the details about what they would actually be doing.

"Well... I did say dancing." She added doing a little jig to prove her point. "You don't have to sing if you don't want to." She added, thinking it would be an even better evening if she could get him to. "Plus look at all these fine men out and about." She added gesturing to the room around them ... okay maybe that was pushing a bit further than she should have. Alba knew Vale's history, and she was unsure when Vale would be ready to see other people. "I bet we'd be pretty impressive if we did a duet......" She added to him, trying her best not to make things awkward .. and she really wanted to sing ... just not by herself.

Hmmmmm, karaoke, was it? Why did Fletcher feel like this was more of the Minister's idea than January's? It was certainly a different...atmosphere...from the swanky celebration last year, and he wasn't sure how he felt about it yet. He lingered toward the back of the party, having already knocked back one small espresso, and wouldn't have minded another.

But then he was distracted, you see, by a long-legged blonde. Fletcher was initially just walking past her to get another drink, but he ended up making a small circle to return to her side, whereupon he eyed her from head to toe and took a lean on a nearby tall table. She needed addressing, see.

"Are you sure you're in the right place, miss?" Fletcher HAD to ask. H A D to. Was obligated to, actually. He was a card-carrying member of the made up Fashion Police, see. And this new face was setting off alarm bells in his mind.

Perhaps he was loosing his touch. Or had been out of the field too long, but he had not seen Louise in the room. Maybe he should have a drink. ”Ms. Hamilton,” he nodded his head at her in greeting. ”Glad to see you’re out and about. You spend too much time at your desk.” He finished his tea and set it down on a nearby surface. Was he going to sing? He wasn’t so sure. ”I haven’t made up my mind about singing tonight. Will you?”

Caleb Newell hadn't seen Chloe Adara in a long time - and had honestly forgotten she worked at the Ministry with him. To be quite honest, he forgot a LOT of his fellow classmates worked with him. He sort of just...ignored most people he didn't directly interact with on a day to day basis. It was nothing personal. He was just very, very bad at multitasking and when he was at work, he was there to WORK.

"Hey Chloe," he chuckled at her and gave his old classmate a grin. "Um, maybe later. After I've had some time to loosen up," he told her. Aka - never. But he didn't want to come right out and SAY that.

Oh, hello there Blondie. Caleb caught a glance of the younger women, who he DEFINITELY did not recognize, and was pleased to see that she didn't look like she was all that enthused to be there - just like him. He knew that karaoke was definitely right up some people's alleys - Chloe, for example, seemed to be enjoying herself - and he was relieved to see that he wasn't the only one who looked like they wanted to be anywhere but there. Perfect.

He was about to go up to her and start up a conversation when...ugh, of course. He rolled his eyes slightly as the older man approached her, even though he couldn't hear a word he was saying if he had to guess, it was super corny. He paused for a moment before shrugging to himself and approaching her anyways, smiling at both the dude AND the girl in a welcoming sort of way.

"Don't worry - I don't think we have to stick around TOO long before we can sneak out of here," he said with a small chuckle to the two, acting completely unaware of the fact that he may have just interrupted. No, he was just starting a friendly conversation with two strangers. Making small talk. All that fun stuff. "I'm Caleb, by the way, I don't think I've met either of you," he added, holding out a hand for a shake. A genuine introduction for the lady - as for the guy, he really could care less about him. He was just being polite.

Out of the corner of his eye, Caleb spotted a man nearby eyeing him up, and looked over just in time to see him smile his direction and wink at him. At...at HIM? Oh. Interesting development. He smiled at him and gave a little finger wave of acknowledgement as he watched him walk off.

Maybe she should have started a bet to see how long before there would be an approach. Or two, as it were.

Stella's eyes cut sideways to the first bloke when he addressed her and then her head tracked around to follow a moment later. WAS she in the right place? She supposed it wasn't the worst kind of line out there. "Any place I am in is the right place, Monsieur."

And then the other. Stella studied that one too with a faint air of amusement. Did she really look so out of place? Both of them had, in their own way, said as much. Though escaping was definitely on her agenda at some point. "Non, you have not, I am new." He could have her name- they both could- but she kept her hand. "Stella Jarsdel."

"What do you meant that's not dancing! That's the hottest two step around!" Alba added with a smirk. Once again she was reminded how much she had missed Valentin and how happy she was he was back. "I bet you sing beautifully." Alba added not pushing the matter just yet... but she had a feeling .. maybe after the drink ... she could convince him to do it.

And then ... was that a blush upon Vale's face? Alba was sure of it! And he was blushing while looking at a gentleman across the way. "Vale, I think he waved back to you!" She told him smiling from ear to ear ... maybe she could play match maker ... and then it hit her ... that small tinge of jealousy .... Alba couldn't understand why .. she had known from the very beginning who Valentin was, he had made it no secret, and Alba didn't care at all, she was looking for a friend ... but maybe that where the jealousy arose from. If Vale started dating ... would she loose her friend? Trying to shake off the feeling and still be upbeat she turned back toward Vale. "Should we go introduce ourselves?? Or perhaps you already know him?" He seemed to have connections in all places so maybe he already did know him.

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

This was the BEST ministry event that Topanga had been to. Last year she was excited about dressing up, but this year was singing! The young transportation employee made her way in and beamed at everyone. "All talk and no singing yet? What is going on everyone!" She didn't even think about getting a drink or food first she headed right for the little stage and the microphone!


"Who's ready for some fun? Sing along if you know this muggle song."

She flipped through to see if it was there and was delighted that it was. Pushing the little button the music started up and Topanga started dancing around before the words came on the screen.

"One way or another, I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya ,get ya, get ya
One way or another, I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meet ya
I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya"



Oh yeah, this song was the best!!
