The 28 year old had thought about going to Diagon Alley and eating at her favorite cafe as it was only a short bus ride then walk from her current workplace. But as she had brought her lunch to work with the intention of eating it there, she simply took her bagged lunch with her in search of somewhere else.

The Recreational Quidditch Pitch actually crossed her mind next and, once she had gotten off the bus at the stop not far from there, Mariel walked the short distance to the sports park. Green eyes landed on the small figures out on the pitch and she casually watched some older teenagers in what seemed to be a pick up game as she went to find a seat on a bench nearby. Really, they were old enough to get a job but she was thankful for the distraction. It would be nice to watch some actual Quidditch for a few even if it wasn't a real game.

As she sat, the brunette pulled out a salad from her bag and began eating as she became lost in thought. Thrilled as she was with her new position, the feeling couldn't help but to be overshadowed by the deplorable conditions they had to work in. Her employees knew that wasn't her doing, right?
He had decided to bring the boys down to the pitch and let them watch the kids out there playing a pick up game again. Letting him run out and sit on the ground under them and told them to be careful and watch out for the falling quaffle. He'd offered to take them while Becca had the girls and had done the one thing she detested. Taken them shopping. He didn't want her to worry about taking all four kids shopping, two were bad enough. Hopefully they'd be back soon but for now, he'd just enjoy the quiet of the sidelines.

He was heading towards the bench when he saw another woman there, he'd seen her around the ministry a few times and was almost sure she was the new department head that had just been hired. "Hello." he said kindly with a smile. Was she watching someone out there in particular? A brother perhaps that was playing. "Mind if I join you?"

Her name...Morgan wasn't it? He just couldn't think of her first name.
