There were plenty others he could talk to if he so chose, and his grey eyes took in another of the department heads as she’d arrived and silently made her way over to set a gift down on the table Natasha had pointed out before. It was a neutral party, so he gently excused himself from her side to approach the brunette. There would be plenty more time to spend with his, well, he wasn’t entirely sure what to call her. Girlfriend seemed like it wasn’t enough. “I’m sure things will only get more crowded before they get going,” he observed, nodding slightly as he got closer. “Head of Magical Creatures, correct? You brought the dogs down when we were investigating the food court,” he said. Nobody said he was expert at opening conversation, not after staying to himself for so long. At least it was something, though, and maybe it would help her relax.
Ella had been silently observing the other party goers when she heard a voice come closer to her from the side. She turned her head to see a somewhat familiar man approach her. "Well, they do say 'the more, the merrier'," she said with a small smile, meeting his eyes. Ella nodded when he obviously recognized her from the investigation a while before. "That's me. Ella Wellington," she introduced herself, holding her hand out for the man to shake.
"And you're in... Law Enforcement?" Unfortunately she couldn't remember his name.

No wonders it hadn't seemed like the guy had dated much ever since she'd meant him. Anyway, she figured she'd better properly introduce herself to her levelmate and approached, shaking her head at Mr. Smooth while she was at it with a glint of amusement in her eyes. "Hello, Ms. Wellington, correct? Roxanne Carter, the new Environmental Head and this right here," she began with a genuine smile and tilting her head his direction "is Dorian Tamerlane of the MLE. This place looks lovely, doesn't it?" And that was how it was done.
Oh, and there was Roxanne, looking... amused. Interesting. "Yes, that's correct." She offered her co-level head a small smile. "I know," she said simply. Ella had eyes and ears, you know. She knew who she worked with, even if they had never formally before. "Nice to properly meet you. Please, call me Ella." She didn't much like formalities between co-heads.
And she was right, this man (who she now knew was named Dorian) was in Magical Law Enforcement. Good guess.

It was plain to see that Wes Ferguson was a little bit confused as he trailed after Izzy and the boys toward Florean Fortescue's that day. He was more than happy to spend his birthday with his family, of course, but why they had to spend it in Diagon Alley beat him. What was wrong with laying around the house all day? He could easily eat ice cream in his pajamas.
He shook off these thoughts as a little version of himself went tearing ahead of them into the celebration room. "Whoops," Wes chuckled, picking up the pace to jog after the boy. "He's a bit too much like me someti---"
Wes stopped mid-sentence in the middle of a room full of crowded people, people whom he... totally recognized??? Whaaaaat? Wes' nose crinkled and his face wrinkled with even more confusion as he turned back around to look for Izzy. And Scott. And... what, waaaaaaiiit, waittttt a hot minute here, was that Damien Jackson in the corner??!?!
"What's going on?!" the 40-year-old demanded to know of the group at large. He spotted Dorian and Roxanne heheheheh, that Magical Creatures lady, Tasha, some YATI, some non-YATI... uh was this some kind of secret Ministry function he was crashing????
And then suddenly, a little boy ran into the room, followed by his father. The birthday boy himself! Ella was almost surprised as he was, considering there was no warning of when he was going to appear. Either way, a smile appeared on her face as he took in the sight. "Happy Birthday!" she said, hoping others would join in so she wasn't the only one. Yaaaay, birthdays....! |
