Hearing his title once again, Alexander turned sharply to the right. Ahh. MacMillan. He hadn't worked with the woman long before she retired at department head and moved on to some other line of work. It'd been long enough for him to remember her face and name, though. "Mrs. MacMillan, of course," he said, returning the shake. "I remember working with you when you were the head of Accidents and Catastrophes. I believe you and I were in the courtroom meeting together." Apparently, she'd come back to work for them as Ministry Event Coordinator, it seemed.

"Now if you'll excuse me," he said, eyeing the others, "I have to get going." He nodded once in her direction. "Have a good day, Mrs. MacMillan."

Alexander laughed his deep, almost-serious laugh. "Well, you see, Mr. Kim, my soon-to-be wife is the Slytherin Head of House, and my daughter is a fourth year Slytherin," he explained. With a shrug, he added, "Between the two of them, I've picked up on a name or two. When you gave your last name, it rang a bell, although, I haven't ever met your son." If the young Kim was anything like his father, Alexander assumed he was a worthy, young Slytherin. The Kim standing before him seemed worthy enough, at least.

Looking around the room and seeing that there were a considerable amount of people left to greet, Alexander decided it was time to move on. "It was nice meeting you, Mr. Kim," he said. "I'll be seeing you around."

"Well, then my apologies, Miss Flitzpatrick," he said. Maybe he ought to give the personal files another look through. He needed to take note of things like marital statuses and the like. He grinned at the young woman's enthusiasm to get started on her first assignment. "Then I'll be in touch soon," he said. "I'm afraid I have to be on my way now. You have a good day, though."

Alexander narrowed his eyes in thought. Was it just him, or was this woman looking at him a certain way? Maybe like she knew him? Hmm. No, couldn't be. He'd have noticed her from her personal records, yes? He thought so.

Then she called him by name, his first name, and his eyebrows rose in mild surprise. Apparently, they'd been at Hogwarts together, which still didn't ring a bell until the woman mentioned her husband's name. "Ah, Jonah Scamander. I do remember him, yes," he said. They hadn't hung out much, as Alexander tended to stay with the Quidditch crowd, but he did remember the man from classes. "Ravenclaw prefect? You know, I do remember you now." He'd been the Slytherin captain and had remembered most of the prefects and captains from his time. Likely because he'd had to work hard to stay out of trouble around them.

"I'm afraid I have to get going, though," he said. "We'll catch up, though?" That last part was half statement, half question.

Alexander laughed lightly at the woman's first statement, "A comical one, hmm?" he asked. "Well, that's something we can use more of around the workplace." Alexander did enjoy a good joke or two now and then. "...and I do look forward to you helping us look good," he added, though, with the way he hoped to run things, he planned for them to look good regardless.

Then she asked about his fiancee, and Alexander couldn't help the smile that spread across his face. "Her name is Hecate Lafay," he answered. "She's the Potions Mistress at Hogwarts School." He looked around the room again, noted that he'd spoken to everyone, and then turned back to the woman. "I do have to head on now, though. It was good meeting you," he added.

Then with one more glance around the room, he exited the work area and made way to his office.

She smiled as he said hello to the new faces. She was so excited to see him again...she was super excited to be working with him so closely. He had to be better than the last joke that was in office. She had to admit that she was a little star struck...yes she shouldn't be...she knew working on level one would mean she would see him more often, but still he was the leader of the magic world she had grown up in....too amazing..she couldn't help but staring at him in a starstruck manner....she had met him before but it was in that dreadful joke of a Department Head's meeting...ugh...she shook her head just a little bit left and right with that horrid thought... She glanced around the office looking for her cubicle/work area. She was excited to get to work on the next event....but she wasn't sure where to start. Man they really needed a map that led you to the right place in the room because it was huge.... She glanced back at the Minister...would it be okay for her to walk over and say hello like they were old friends or would that be rude or awkward. She took a breath and walked closer to him. When she finally reached him, she smiled and held out her right hand, "Minister, I'm Iridesca MacMillan. It's great to see you again. I look forward to our next event and helping out with making it the most memorable ever." yes she let out that breath slowly and hoped she hadn't overstepped her boundaries...and that he might remember her from their last meeting and that maybe he remembered it being a good first impression...

During the war against the Cult, he was wondering himself who would stand next as the new Minister when Borr goes down. Mr. Greingoth is a very fine man with him on the spot, change is about to happen and not the change that Alexander saw and felt when Borr was still in-charge. He didn't even know why that bloke won in the first place. Alexander gave a small laugh when the Minister Greingoth complimented his name. Well, they both have the same name. "It sure is" he said, still smiling. Right now, Alexander himself was already ready and excited to work with the new minister. "I'm looking forward as well, sir" he said. Oh? Alexander was quite surprised when he asked about his son. How did he know? "Yes, sir. my son is in Slytherin." he replied. Has Jonathan perhaps met with Mr. Greingoth? Probably no, Jonathan would definitely tell him. "Have you..." he paused "... I mean, how did you know sir?" Alexander laughed his deep, almost-serious laugh.

Then she heard the Minister called her Mrs. "Umm..Its actually Miss, Sir." she didn't mean any disrespect by correcting the Minister but she wasn't that old wasn't she? Her first assignment? "I'm looking forward to it, Minister." she said. "I'm sure she is a very lucky woman." Ruth was pretty sure about that. "Well, then my apologies, Miss Flitzpatrick," he said.

You were in the same year as my husband, Jonah Scamander!" Small world! They did know one another once upon a time... funny how years of LIFE made one forget things. Hehe.

It was nice that her work ethic was complimented on since people usually thought she was too organized and effective with her lists. As the minister shook her nail polished hand he caught her gaze and held on to it. Weird! Why did he do that? To remember her name with her face? Stealing a glance in Layla’s direction Natasha beamed at Minister Greingoth a second or two later. "Yes they did." Hearing his joke her cheeks flushed up as she quipped up "We will do our very best to make you look good in the eyes of the public." "Thank you, I’m very happy to be here. Congrats on your impending marriage by the way Minister, who is the lucky lady?" Natasha still wasn’t thoroughly caught up in the gossip bubble surrounding her new employer and boss. Mrs?? She was a Miss no more, no less. She had been divorced for several years now. Hmpf. She was too stumped to correct him.
