"Never go wrong with Slytherins" they should make a toast with this. Alexander only knows about Sierra through Jonathan and til recently he has mentioned about her being the new prefect. Such a nice young lady.
NEWTS, something Alexander has been worried about for quite sometime now, it's not that he underestimates his son, it's just that Jonathan just needed to exert more effort on these things. These exams are quite important. "Thank you and to Sierra as well. Best of luck on her OWLs" as he remembered, she is in the fifth year, right? As Minister Alexander asked him about what Jonathan will take after Hogwarts, Alexander doesn't really know. However his son has taken sometime to think about his suggestions during the time he took his son off from school "Well, hopefully, following my footsteps" like every father's dream.
And as for Alex, that story Alexander didn't really know. However, it was foolish for him not to mention the older sibling. But since the minister looked like he didn't want to talk about it, Alexander decided to leave it there. He just nodded, and didn't continue in asking further questions about the topic. However he did mention about the older daughter having kids on her own. What a better way to change the subject... "Your older daughter has kids" he repeated. That must be nice. Hearing Kim's talk of how one could never go wrong with Slytherins, Alexander beamed and reached over to pat the man on the side of the arm. At'ta boy, Kim! that pat seemed to say. One easy way to get on Alexander Greingoth's good side was to show Slytherin pride, and this man did that and more by having offspring in the house, as well.
"Ahh, I'm sure they'll do well," he said, speaking of Jonathan and Sierra on their NEWTs and OWLs. "They're Slytherins, after all. There's greatness in there." His daughter better do well on her OWLs, especially seeing as she was the daughter of the Minister. He and Hecate hadn't put her in every class offered just for her health, after all. Alexander nodded when the Kim man mentioned his son following in his footsteps. "Well, best to keep his ambition high."
"Yes, she has two," he answered, referring to his oldest daughter, Anna, and her two children. His grandchildren, although he still stood by the fact that he was far too young to have them. Looking around the room, he said, "I better get going now. I have a meeting with a foreign Minister soon. You have a good day, Kim." Text Cut: sarahlooo Quote:

"I don't think you'll be waiting long," he said with a small smile. Oh, he wanted to go down there and see their progression? Err... "Wouldn't you rather wait until the grand opening?" He asked, curiously. Because he wasn't sure if there was anything really awesome to see yet... Alexander caught the hesitation in the new Supervisor's voice. Would he rather wait until the grand opening? "Mr. Everard, I assume you take pride enough in your position to ensure that food court will open in a timely manner, yes? ...and I assume you understand that you were hired with the understanding you'd get the job done?" he asked, one eyebrows raised. Alexander wouldn't take to slacking on the job, especially from a supervisor.
With hesitation, he finally said, "I'll wait until the grand opening, which I hope will be sooner rather than later. I have every bit of confidence you're just the man to see it'd done, though." He offered him an assuring grin, then checking the time added, "I should get going. Meetings with foreign Ministers and the such. You have a good day, though." Text Cut: the fastest seeker Quote:

No, it's like how all people ask each other.."I'm very good, Thank you for asking," she answered, "Mostly work takes up all my time, but there's not much going on around these days, at the Level I mean," She said, "Usually, we'd be very busy." Okay...no need to babble with the minister. She needs to get a grip on this talking habit, although that's probably one of the reasons why she got the job. Alexander felt one of his eyebrows raising ever so slightly as the woman carried on and on. She was a talker, that was for sure, but seeing as her job involved meeting and greeting, he guessed that was a good thing. "Well, you be sure to take some time for yourself, too," he said. Even he, as Minister, did that. Family came first, and that was just all there was to it. Looking around the break room, he added, "I don't think we'll be too slow for too long. What with all the newcomers."
Overhearing the Senior Undersecretary ask him to say the welcome message, Alexander nodded to the woman he'd been talking to, assuming she'd overheard, too, and would understand, then approached the Senior Undersecretary. Text Cut: TSnitch Quote:

Scooting a little closer to him she asked,"Would you do the honours of welcoming everyone?" she asked quietly. "Of course," he said, taking the place next to her.
"If I may have your attention, please," he said, using his authoritative tone. He wasn't yelling, just using a voice that would assure him everyone would hear and cease the chatting.
"Allow me to officially welcome you, as a new team, to level one of the Ministry of Magic. Looking around, I see we have a mixture of old faces as well as new. I hope that our returning employees do their best to welcome in the new, and in return, I hope the new employees can learn from the returning ones," he said. Continuing on, he said, "Level one is only as strong and as active as we, as a team, make it to be. The amount of effort we all put up will be what we receive in the long run. You are expected to give your very best, yet enjoy yourself at the same time. I look forward to working with you all and again, welcome to level one."
Ending his speech, he leaned toward the Senior Undersecretary and said, "Meeting with a foreign Minister." Then with a nod, he turned and left the break room. OOC for everyone: I'll be going on a short leave starting this Tuesday, so I'm decloning Alexander now. I'll be back shortly, though!
