Oh, I did have a good one. Spending time with family. How about you?" Lourdes smiled. But, yes, Hogwarts... it was sad having to read about its condition in the Prophet. "I do hope the students and staff are okay there. A lot has been happening." It would've been lovely to have Victoria's son in there but for his good, Lourdes wasn't going to argue with her decision.
Wrong? Oh no. There was nothing wrong. "Everything is alright, I assure you. I just wanted the first few days of work to be more of acquainting with each other before I bring in the real job tasks," Lourdes said. She did have a lot of activities for her level. "That's great to hear. I bet the other departments involved in the volunteer work are pleased." Because even Lourdes was.
Victoria listened as Lourdes said about her holiday,
"That sounds like you had a nice time. It's great when you get to relax and have time to be with family. Do you have a big family?" Oh how was her holiday, lonely, no probably not the best answer.
"Well it as quiet. Bart, my son, was in Australia with his father. So most of it I was alone. So I did some work and research for the up coming season. Then just spent Christmas with my parents." Quiet and small, wow were you a bit pathetic Victoria. She nodded with the Hogwarts talk,
"Yes, I worry about the well being and what's actually going on." She sighed, she felt they didn't know maybe all of what was really behind what's going on.
Smiling she gave a small sigh of relief,
"Oh good, I guess my holiday just had me ready to just jump back in and got concerned. " Thank Merlin everything was alright, she would hate to see something happen.
"Well that was very nice of you. I'm really hoping to get to know more people in this department. I feel like I only see and talk with Mariel most days." They did work next to each other, but it would still be nice to know more people. She was a little confused about her next comment,
"Should I tell you about willing to volunteer or was there someone else I needed to tell?" Did she miss read that on the job board. hmmmm
