"How extravagant." Alana said, in her thick German accent, as she looked at the table of different food. Instead of going for the food, she walked over to where the punch was and picked up one of the sparkling crystal goblets. She filled it up with the deep orange punch and turned around, taking sips from the goblet as she watched more and more people fill in. Maybe she'd meet some people from her department that she'd be working with.

She did hope, by coming to this party, she will get to know some of her co-workers , so her first day at the ministry was TOO awkward.
She also knew that the newly-elected Minster, Sherman Clark, was here. She probably should introduce herself to him at one point tonight.
Michelle then started to walk down the buffet table, to see what kinds of food and drinks are being offer.
Woooooooooooow, The Ministry of Magic. Sure Lex had been here maybe once or twice--but it didn't count because she and Lottie had had to wear Visitor's Badges and had to be directed around. Now she
worked here, all legit and official with a badge to boot! Needless to say she was beyond herself with excitement. This had to be one the best nights of her ENTIRE life. As of today she was on her way to being an AUROR. How freakin' cool was THAT??
Only thing that wasn't cool...was wobbling around in heels. Merlin who's idea was it to make this a 'fancy formal event'? Every few steps was a wobble and she didn't think she'd be getting any better considering heels were usually not a factor in ANY part of her dress. This was hard--and so was wearing an actual dress. Ugh.
Just think about the Auror life, Lex.
By some great miracle she made it over to the buffet table without hurting herself or anyone else for that matter. That's when she spotted two people already there.
"Hi!" NEW CO-WORKERS because she had those now! Eeeep!
"The name's Alexa...or Lex, doesn't really bothered me. New YATI, I'm technically in charge of making sure no one dies tonight!"...Okay...so maybe not for another three years...but she could dream.
