I’d love to know what you want to see in that area. Do you have any requests or ideas sir?” he asked. Although he’s not assigned for the task, it wouldn’t hurt at all if he picks up a few ideas from those who will be using it. “I see. He is a good boss, then.” He said nodding. Good leaders do listen and take into account the opinions of those who are under him. “I’ve heard about Lord Borr though—he was mentioned two years ago by my good friend who is in Hogwarts now. Would you know what happened to him?” he asked. He’s heard that Lord Borr was...well. Weird.
David smiled at the man when he was asked about his major. “I took Experimental Magic and Research in Edinburgh Wizarding University. I chose Architecture as my major.” It was pretty cool to do so many charms and transfigurations in his college days. He was able to enchant buildings, and to experiment on different building materials to tailor the users’ need. “How about you sir? What major did you choose?” David returned the question as he scratched his temple. Just then, he caught a glimpse of a man who entered the break room. He looks respectable enough to be the Minister. Alexander is true to his word with that one. He does like to help others, especially the new employees, whether or not they are in the same level as he is. Alexander nodded as he took a sip with the butterbeer glass on his hand. It's been awhile since he last drank this stuff. It was a bit refreshing and simply nostalgic too.
Then the topic shifted to the food court. He did hear about this new project and quite frankly, he is enthusiastic after hearing about it. The ministry did need something like this a long time ago. As for what he wants... Alexander gave it a small thought. It's a cafeteria, he's pretty sure that people would already know which food to serve. The break room has free coffee, Alexander looked at David "A nice steak would do" Alexander and his son loves steak, A LOT!
Of course the new Minister is way better than the last one. "Borr was just..." Alexander tried to find a certain word that would best explain his past boss. "...well... a bore" he chuckled softly. Yeah, that was the word. "he acted like he was the bloody king in this place" he added while taking another sip of butterbeer. Really, this is such god stuff.
It was told by a Hogwarts' friend? "Really? Who's your friend?" Another thing about Alexander is that he still gets excited over Hogwarts. He missed the school. It has been such a long time since he last went to school... LONG LONG time. Sigh. "Does he still go to Hogwarts?" Experimental Magic and Research in Edinburgh Wizarding University.
Wow. That's quite a major he has there. Experiment and research is just pure mind blowing. "That's really nice" he said nodding to the young man. Good choice for work. Definitely worth it. When David asked him the same question, his eyes glanced back to the young lad. "I took up Magical research on ghosts and other paranormal beings" ironic isn't it? His major is perfect for Mysteries, right?
Before Alexander could ask further question, he saw the minister. He nudged his elbow to David "That' the new Minister. Alexander Greingoth" in case, he doesn't know? But that would just be impossible, right? Looking at him, his feet moved "Want to go meet him then?" because he definitely will. Quote:

The notice had said this was for the new employees, and he cared enough about the office and the Ministry in general to make a good first impression on these people.
He remembered his first big job. It was here, in this very office, come to think of it. He'd been the liaison for level four, beast division if he remembered. Merlin, how he ever got a job dealing with beasts, he never knew, but he'd done well with it. Of course he'd done well. Had anyone expected anything less? Opening the doors and stepping inside, he took a careful look around the room. Walking to the minister, Alexander gave him a slight nod on the head as a greeting. A smile curled up onto his lips as he got nearer "Minister, welcome" he said gesturing his hand over to the man. He was just talking about him after all. Asking the Senior Undersecretary if he would arrive. "How have you been, Minister? And your family?" Alexander asked. The party had been starting already and it is good that people were mingling and getting along just fine.
