Holidays are meant for rest too." The woman said with a nod and a smile. There was no need to fuss about work during the holidays, honestly. Right, Hogwarts. There were children there that were probably having a hard time coping, but Lourdes believed that this will all be over in no time. "I think the Headmistress is doing her part, so I guess there is no need to worry much." There's always a solution.
"If there was something wrong with Quidditch, I would let everyone in the department know... as well as the Minister," Lourdes assured. The spirit of Quidditch will always be alive. What could possible go wrong with magical sports? Well, except the fact there are some occurrences of injuries. You could never truly avoid those from happening. Ah yes, that matter. "Some of the employees are still on leave. The others, well... they're probably busy with both work and family." The blonde understood that, though, because she'd attend to her family as well. But she knew her responsibilities. "Actually, you could just tell me and I'll forward your message to the person involved." It was partly Lourdes' job too.
Victoria smile, that seemed like a lovely time.
"My brother lives to far away to get together. He comes around every so often, but never settled down so nothing really keeps him in one place long." That always annoyed her, but it was his life. Giving a small blush of embarrassment,
"Well it kept my mind occupied really. My son was at his fathers and unfortunately with having him I don't get out much to meet that many people, so sitting alone in the house was driving me a bit crazy. So I was happy to do work." She didn't want to sound to pathetic to the boss, but she was telling the truth as well. Yes.. Yes. The headmistress should know what she's doing it was her job now wasn't it. No need to comment further on that subject.
"Well I assumed as much, but still figured I would check. The Australian league went on strike about eight years ago now. It was a mess, so it was the first that came to my mind when I didn't see any postings." She was glad it wasn't something like that, pity how that can affect things for so many people. Smiling a little more,
"I did get to meet a few employees. I feel embarrassed that a few have worked here for a bit. I must just get to caught up at my desk at times. They all seem lovely though. We do have a great department." She was always proud to work in that department and it showed most of the time.
"Well I understand that, being a single parent with a full time job is exhausting at times. I hope they all work out for them." Oh so she just had to say something to the boss, great.
"Well that's good, let me know what I can do to help." Oh there was another knock on the door, maybe that was her cue to leave.
"You seem to have another visitor I can just get out of your way than."
