Her thoughts about maybe speaking to the minister were getting stronger and stronger. “It seems to always end up there and as a parent, I’m very sick of it being there. I don’t understand why we are not more informed and why it’s always by the paper.” She shook her head it was irritating. “I’m actually thinking about setting up a meeting with the minister about some of these things. I feel with everything that has happened there maybe he should be stepping in and would like to know if he is.” She felt it was her right as a parent to know these things.
Rough game? The thirty five year old couldn’t help but shrug at that comment. “It’s got it’s dangers, but so does every sport. We do more than just regulations in the department. So not just injuries. We record all the injuries, do regulations, schedule all the seasons, coaches meetings, manager meetings, photoshoots for team pictures, posters, and trading cards, as well as help with mascot training, and PR for all quidditch related events. So with all my division doing that it all comes to my desk to be approved before going to the department head. “ She wasn’t sure if the woman knew all that they did or cared, but she for some reason felt the need to say it.
Her eyes glanced around again, “It is nice going to other floors and seeing what else is going on. I’ve often wondered if I’d enjoy another department if I’d leave my own.” Not that she had thoughts of leaving, but she had once and that’s what started the thinking. “Maybe you could help me though, how do I get a scheduled appointment with the minster?” She had fully talked herself into that. Of course it would be the job of the law enforcement to handle the threat, Ainsley just thought that the games and sports department would have been affected somewhat. Considering that Hogwarts was its own entity, and the ministry didn't have much to do with that it would make sense that Victoria wasn't really phased by it. Come to think of it, Ainsley wondered if they ever found the person or if anything else had been threatened. Maybe it was just a prank. Although why somebody would prank over death was beyond her, but what did she know? "That's good then. I'm glad it was taken care of." Hogwarts was informed, and she was sure that they put every safety measure into place... surely. "I haven't heard of any incidents so that has to be a good sign." The blonde wasn't really sure what else to say on the subject. Ainsley didn't have any children, but she could understand where Victoria was coming from. "I can only imagine your frustrations. I would be worried sick if my child was at Hogwarts." She didn't want to go into too much detail, and commit herself to saying something that would be better kept quiet. She wanted to see the minister himself? Ainsley thought that maybe it would be best to see Gavin first, but she wasn't going to tell this woman what to do. It did have to do with children, and if the roles were reversed Ainsley might want to see the minister too. "I can assure you that the minister does everything in his power to see that everyone is safe." The words were out of her mouth before she could stop them. It was all apart of her job description. Sentences like that seemed to fall out of her mouth all the time. Not that she didn't believe them or anything.
Yes, sports in general were dangerous, and that was her whole point. Ainsley would never understand why anybody would want to put themselves in a position where they could knowingly get hurt, and for entertainment at that. She smiled as Victoria went listed off all of her duties. "Wow. I bet there is never a dull moment over there." She smiled as Victoria's passion for her job was evident on her face. "I think it so admirable that you are passionate about your job." It sure made the work day easier. Ainsley was good with having a million things on her plate, and she could maybe do what Victoria did, but one thing she knew for sure was that there was no way that she could ever play a sport. That was a total no go. "It is. I have met many nice, and helpful people. I am actually thinking about going to the Environmental Department and seeing if I can get some tips on a garden." It was Gavin's idea after all so she had an excuse to go wandering around on that floor. "I always think that it is a good idea to keep your options open." You never knew when you might want a change of pace. Oh, so she definitely wanted this meeting then? Ms. Abigail Goodman or Ms. Eperanza Jordan would be the two ladies that can help you out there." Ainsley had to fight the urge to just bring her back to the minister herself. She had a hard time shaking the need to always be helpful, but she knew that a scheduled meeting was needed. The minister would not appreciate her blindsiding her. The front counter was not that far from them. Should she lead the woman over there? She didn't want to seem like she was smothering her. Ainsley knew that Victoria was fully capable of making her own appointment. |
