"Mister Minister?" he repeated, laughing good-naturedly. "Feel free to call me Minister Greingoth." Not Alexander, no. Not yet at least. He shook her hand then gently pulled away, letting his arm dangle by his side again. "Well, welcome to level one, Miss Scamander. I'm assuming you've found your first day to be a good one, hmm?" He sat down in a nearby chair and gestured for her to do the same. "...and one of my Advisers. Hmm." He shook his head. "You'll have to excuse me. We've just hired a good amount of new employees, and I've got a myriad of files I'm continuously processing." He made himself a mental note to read up on names and informational files as soon as he headed back to his office.

Oh, and listen to that. She'd already heard his good news. Word travels around, yes? "About to be," he answered. "We haven't set the date yet, but possibly soon." An an afterthought, he added, "Thank you, though."
"Whatever you wish, sir," she said with a nod. Although, she thought Mister Minister had a great ring to it, personally. Heh. "Thank you, Minister Greingoth. I have found it to be rather quiet here. Uneventful. Which neither of those is a bad thing, mind you. I am merely used to chaos and such," she said with a chuckle as she took a seat in the chair he gestured to.

Waving a hand dismissively she chuckled once more as she crossed her ankles and sat rather primly in her seat. "I would not expect a man as busy as yourself, with an entire Ministry to run, to remember everyone before he even met them. No offense taken," she said sweetly. See! Jonah was VERY wrong about her. She was indeed pleasant and charming. Not frigid and the other nasty words he often used to describe her.

"Ah, well congratulations on the impending date, sir. I am sure she is one lucky woman." Well she was SURE of that, but not so sure if the Minister was lucking out with the lady he was marrying. "I must say, I did read the article that the Prophet put out about the fall of the Cult of Walpurgis. Great job with the coup, Minister."
