 oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh - for you all Granddaddy Ravenclaw | | Jermione Granger
Right. Department Heads up at the front, with the Minister. How long had she even known she'd landed the job? Merlin. Emmalee held her clutch a little tighter than was necessary as she stood just a bit away from the table. She'd wanted the job. She was qualified for the job. She knew she could do the job. And yet, something about joining the head table had her feeling a bit of an impostor, even as she saw other new faces already there. Or, at least, faces new to her.
Taking a deep breath, Emmalee smiled and approached the table, setting her clutch down at an empty place. She'd not yet gone to get food, but wanted to claim her seat while she could. She chose to sit near those already gathered and she addressed the one person that she recognized. "Aron," she said with a bit of a nod and extending her hand. "Good to see you." Had he heard about her promotion?
Looking to the others, she took the opportunity to introduce herself, partially out of just good manners, but also in part to assert her right to sit at the table, however irrational that may have been. "Emmalee Quinn," she said, extending her hand. "New Head in Environmental." The words still felt strange in her mouth, no matter how many times she said them.
