SPOILER!!: Mariel

Where were the hidden streamers? Where was the cake? Where were the other employees?! What kind of surprise party was this??..... It was a surprise party, right? With all the thoughts running through the young man's head, he was a bit surprised not by a party, but by Mariel's sudden look of disapproval.

Uh-oh. Maybe he misinterpreted this whole situation. And maybe he wasn't as good of an actor as he thought.... Double Uh-Oh.

He had definitely done something wrong. Stepped out of place? Gone too far? Crossed the line? Over boiled the pot? Whatever it was Blake felt horrible. This was bad. This was really bad. She looked almost livid.

He looked taken aback with Mrs-Department-Head's next statement. WHAT?!?! N-n-no r-ro-oom?!? Impossible! It can't be. He has to be in Quidditch. She couldn't fire him, could she? Well technically she could, but he had a rough enough time these past few months with his brother. He didn't need anymore. He was back and ready to work and Quidditch. "I-I'm so sorry. I don't know what just came over me," Well technically he did. He thought it was a surprise party. But that would be WAY too embarrassing to admit out loud. "I think I'm still a bit tired from my trip back. My brother and his wife insisted on muggle transportation and the flight from America back to here was horrendously long," Which was true. He had actually come straight from that wretched airport back to the ministry, or what was left of it anyway. Either way Blake's sudden change of tone occurred once he noticed how unamused Mariel was. This was a professional place and it was time for Blake to be more professional after all.

"But that was no excuse for my behavior. I guess I just wasn't expected to be welcomed by such a busy mess with everything that had happened and whatnot." Blake looked up apologetically. Someone, quick! Take a picture! This is a very rare occurrence. Blake Evergreen never apologizes. Or admits to mistakes, but pft when your perfect there aren't very many mistakes to admit to, am I right? "But... I... I understand if there aren't any positions open in Quidditch. It's a very likable job," he said with sad eyes and his head all droopy. But honestly he did need a job. Even something to just keep him busy. After a few moments of silence he finally spoke up again. His next few words even surprised himself. "But I would still love to work in the department, if you'd still want me. I could you know do maintenance or book-keeping or assisting staff or something here...?" Did he just volunteer for on-site inter-department maintenance? Can someone say desperate.

He did understand that she was his potential boss, did he not? And that his employment with her department depended on her acceptance of his reapplication. And right now, she wouldn't exactly consider him respectful. She wouldn't put up with disrespect from her current employees, she certainly wouldn't put up with it from someone new hoping to return to a job. So far he wasn't well on his way to being on her good side. Maybe she should rethink her whole initial team player thought. Setting down her bottle rather purposefully on her desk, she slowly crossed her arms and fixed Blake with an assessing look, raising an eyebrow at his defensive tone. "And suppose I were to tell you I didn't have any openings in the Quidditch division?" she said shortly, still watching him with the same expression. The brunette wasn't about to bend over backwards for anyone who thought he could waltz in here and step into a job with as little respect as he was showing her from the minute he walked into the department. And it wasn't to say that she didn't have any openings, but she wasn't sure how eager was and her employees did have to be team players, fitting in and helping out where needed. In fact, she had former professional Quidditch players working in Gobstones. And they were hard workers. She wanted to hear his answer anyway, and it better not be flip.
