She overheard a few people speaking to a man nearby, and she overheard the word "Department Head"...ahhh yes, she'd heard there were near hires, specifically in her old department. Well she HAD to go introduce herself, yes? Click clack, click clack, Gabi's heels made a loud clicking noise as she walked up to the new Department Head. "Hello, you must be one of the new DH's around here," she said with a smirk as she held out her perfectly polished hand. "Gabriela Schultz, Department Head on Level Six, Magical Transportation," she informed him.
Because EVERYONE had to know who Gabi Schultz was. Duh. Hmm. Obnoxiously loud shoes, obnoxiously strong perfume and a habit of butting in? Had to be... yep. The Transportation head. Roxanne decided to ignore the woman. Because, would not be a good look for the new Minister to walk in and see two department heads arguing. The woman did get a raised brow though.

"Hello Mr.Dept Head" she called to her fellow ex-coworker. Huh. Why do they always go away...and become dept. heads? "Roxanne, how are you?" she asked the woman. She gave her a smile. Last time they'd seen, it wasn't a good situation.
There was this other woman....she recognized. Hm? OH. "Oh hello..." she trailed. "Have I seen you...." They'd worked together for a brief time in the Lab on her first day in MLE. Yes, she remembered. And there was that other guy, rude one. HUH. "I'm Julia Smith, IUMO" Cause she didn't think she introduced herself last time, not that the woman would remember it. It was ages ago. Smile on. Just as she was about to start holding her breath, Julia came up. "Hey! I'm doing great." Especially now that she wasn't pregnant anymore. Merlin, she loved Ronan to death, but the hormones that came with the whole thing.... not pleasant. Text Cut: Emily Quote:

With a brief nod and SMALL smile of acknowledgement to Aron and Roxanne, Emily grabbed herself one of the bag things and peered into it. Probably nothing of value to her, but she could always pawn it off onto someone else. Shrinking it and stuffing it into her pocket, Emily walked off. This was boring her already. Emily got a nod in return as she went by. No doubt headed to the food. Not that she blamed her. Text Cut: Aubrie Quote:

After all being a Hit Witch was more hands on and such. And that probably explained why her small clutch contained her extra wand. And her regular wand was slipped up her one long sleeve. It never hurts to be prepared.
Looking around for someone to converse with she saw Roxanne Carter and walked over to where she was at. "Roxanne," she said with a smile to the woman she had worked with multiple times when Roxanne was in MLE before she became a department head. "It's so nice to see you again. I haven't seen you since you left MLE." Aubrie had been busy and she was sure that Roxanne was busy as well. "How is being a department head treating you?" Aubrie was sure that Roxanne was doing well after all she had done great in MLE before she got the big promotion. And more people. "Hello, Aubrie. It has it's good days and bad days. How's being a hit witch?" Yep, she kept up with her old department. Though, she couldn't remember if that particular promotion happened before or after hers. Ah well.
And now she starting to get hungry..... Text Cut: Aron Quote:

Oh wow. This was...not entirely what he had been expecting. "Oh, thank you. But really, the cure was found thanks to you and Derek." They had been the ones to really find the niche they had needed to create the cure. Aron, while also involved in lab work, had done more of the sample collecting and administering of the cure. "We did make a pretty good team though. It was a pleasure. I hope that we have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
Very possible, since his new department tended to clean up messes where the MLE was also involved.
"Thanks, Roxanne. You settling in in Environmental?" Was the woman any good at Herbology? Or had it been her that had mentioned having a garden at her place back when he had first joined? He couldn't recall at the moment. "Seren looks like she is going to pop any day now, but still has a bit to go." He couldn't wait to meet his son or daughter. Seren and him had decided to not find out the gender until the baby was born. He was secretly hoping for a son though.
And for the record, Roxanne, it had been Van who had hired Aron initially and then Wes had stepped in and continued to help mold him. Combined recognition was necessary. Both brilliant men.
"Julia, hello! Good vacation?" he asked as his attention was turned to his former co-worker. Mr. Department Head. Sounded odd.
It was the clicking heels that caught his attention first, and he turned his head to see another woman approaching him. Holy holly could he go no where without being swarmed by the ladies? Married man over here? Not that that didn't stop him from puffing his chest out just a bit. "Aron Ashburry-Hawthorne," he nodded as he took her hand and gave it a gentleman's kiss on the back of it. "Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. A department you know quite well if I am not mistaken."
See? He had done his homework.
Oh! There was little Emily - not that he ever called her that out loud. He wanted to congratulate her on becoming Head Auror, but it seemed as though she had other plans in mind. Eh. Maybe later.
Aha! Here was another face that he recognized. Doing all that criminal profiling and research had left Aron with a very good memory when it came to faces. "Miss Walters," he said as he stepped towards the woman. "Welcome to the Ministry." And more importantly the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, but that went without saying. "It'd go a little better if more of my employees would show up, not going to lie. But otherwise it's going well." Wasn't that the truth. And nope, no garden here. Her expertise was more in the conservation area. Which was why she wished more of her employees would work. "I bet she's driving you crazy with cravings and stuff, right?" She knew she'd certainly done that to whoever had been around her.
And, note taken.
