Apparently the chair was too fabulous it was blinding him. "Oh, course I will!" She reassured him with no real intention to change the chair back. She could tell that he was only being polite, to unburden her, but she would leave him a nice present! Instead of pink, she was going to charm it green with sloth patterns! Great idea. She giggled in response to her own fabulous plan.

Clapping her hands and rubbing the together, she leaned forward as he began to interview her. He had to make it seem fair but it was pretty obvious it was only a charade so other people didn't think he was being unfair. As he began to speak, she halted him momentarily to apply a twentieth layer of pink lipstick, blush, then finally enlarge her eyelashes. When she was done, she batted her eyelashes and listen to him. "Well," she began, crossing her leg and placing her hands neatly on her lap, "I worked for Draupnir's Dingy Diddly Doodads ever since I graduated Hogwarts. I was the co-inventor for the majority of my employment there, although I started out as a simple secretary, then held the position of inventor analyst for a short time before getting promoted." She explained and paused to hear his next question. "Ah, well, of course they could not! But I could, of course!" She giggled. Poppy had the liberty to do anything she wanted since her boss, Draupnir, was such a pushover. She didn't really understand why Greensloth was asked her about other employers, was he hiring someone else from Draupnir's Dingy Diddly Doodads? Nonetheless, she played along because she knew she would get her promotion in the end.
From the moment Pricklepot opened her mouth, Alexander was already closing his eyes in annoyance. That voice, that happy-go-lucky, extremely loud voice, would haunt him in his sleep tonight. He opened his eyes slowly, hoping maybe she'd vanished or something, but no--there she was. Just as he'd asked her to be.

...and of course she had to clap before speaking again. "Go on, Miss Pricklepot," he said. At least he'd heard she'd been an excellent employee in the small amount of time she'd been here. He might tell her later if she didn't have him wincing in annoyance at the sound of her voice. Wait--was she applying make-up?! "MISS PRICKLEPOT!" he yelled, sitting straight up. "Get on with the blasted response!" His eyebrows slanted inward in annoyance throughout the duration of her response.

He'd just opened his mouth to reply when a pale-violet paper airplane made its way in.

Once caught and unfolded, the memo inside will read:
Minister Berty Borr has called a mandatory meeting with the Senior Undersecretary and all Ministry Department Heads. The meeting will commence immediately in Courtroom 10 on the tenth level of the Ministry of Magic. Please be on time and bring with you all ideas and responses to the recent memo regarding the rejuvenating of our spirits and the oxygenating of our halls.
Alexander caught the paper airplane and eyed both Pricklepot and Lane as he opened it. "Excuse me just a moment," he told them. His eyes returned to the paper, scanning it and taking in the details of the memo. When he was done, he sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his finger and thumb. "Alright, I've got something to attend to straight away, so I'm afraid our meeting has been cut short. Miss Lane, if you have any further questions, just contact myself or my secretaries." He turned to Pricklepot. "You are momentarily dismissed. I'll owl you another time."

He gave both women a polite smile before grabbing the jacket to his suit and heading toward the door.

SPOILER!!: Parchment

Ways to 'Oxygenate' the Ministry Work Areas

- add more plants
- put more artwork on the walls
- nice carpet/wood floor
- paint the walls a nice colour, eg. light blue
- more windows to let in natural light
- comfier chairs
- nicer looking furniture
- herb garden in the breakroom - pretty, refreshing and useful.
- bowls containing specialty designed candies
- enchanted windows with different sceneries for each day
- place abstract art and sculptures around the building
- Sun charm (Meteorologic Aprica) to make it sunny
- new lights
- adding simple furniture, e.g. couches and coffee tables
- bright enchanted canvases to make the building more cheerful
- coloured curtains to match the walls
- simple floral arrangments
Just as he moved out from behind his desk and started the walk to the door, he realized he had yet to get the master list from Hathaway. He was in a hurry now, though, and so he could only hope she'd finished by now. He opened the door, nearly walking out of it before he realized Hathaway was standing just before him, parchment in hand.

"Oh, Miss Hathaway," he said, accepting the parchment from her and scanning it quickly. "You are very, very well-appreciated." He gave her a look mixed with relief and anticipation. "I have a meeting beginning straight away," he said, holding up the parchment, "...regarding this. You'll see that Miss Lane and Miss Pricklepot find their way out?" He regarded her with a nod and then edged past her and out of the office. Shortly afterward, he was leaving level one and headed toward the courtrooms.
