"Ah well the pleasure is all mine Ms. Stimpson." The man continued to smile and nod as she stated her status of employement here at the ministry, and he had to admit he was impressed. She seemed to have a fair amount of power. And a Minister's Liason. Nice.
Now for her question. "Well I hope you and your daughter both take into account that the School and the Statute of Secrecy both insist that she take the Hogwarts Express to and from Hogwarts at the beginning and end of term?" If she hadn't been doing that, how had she been getting there? "However we can set up other means of transport for students wishing to return for holiday breaks. We will set up one time only porketys in the Great Hall with permisson of the Headmaster and will open his fireplace to a one way only Floo to childrens' homes. Is that ok, Miss?" Recard asked trying to think if he had mentioned all of the ways. Yep he had.
Armen had just finished explaining all of the ways Clarissa's daughter could come home from Hogwarts and they were getting along pretty well if Armen said so himself. Then just as things could have progressed, a random man showed up and stood awkwardly by them.
"Umm, hello, what can I do for you?" he said looking at him dryly trying to not lose Clarissa's attention. Wait a minute he wasn't a random guy, he's seen him before. "Oh umm aren't you one of my employees' husbands?" he asked curiously.
Esteban was sort of taken aback when the man spoke to him. He really wasn't expecting to be address after all, his department was the one....okay...calm down. He can figure this out.
"Yes, Jen Hill, or Rivera now." Esteban said with a smile.
"But's she hasn't been in a while, we are expecting a baby within a few weeks." Esteban added smiling at the thought of his pregnant wife at home.
"Well, no I don't really need help, it's just...that my Department is locked up. And I wasn't really sure where to go." Esteban added with a sigh. He still wasn't sure where his heart wanted him to be. Either at work or at the Picket Line. Gina would be so disappointed in him.
