But had he been around at the time? "I'm not entirely sure," he admitted, not able to connect the years himself. "Was it within the last...um...nine years?" Had it really been that long since he had started as a YATI? No wonder he felt like an old hat and an even older member of the department, what with all the newbies and recent Hogwarts graduates around.

"Um...thanks," Simon answered, trying and somewhat failing to not reveal any discomfort in the new arrangements. With the man's own orders to spy all around, he didn't exactly want it getting back to his boss that he might not like him. Though the former auror would like to think Mitterbill's office would be beyond prying ears and eyes. "Yeah...Elliot Rainey."

Jasper's brows raised, one and both at the length of tenure of the younger man. Had Simon Bennett really been there that long? That was more than twice as long as he himself had been there. The fact that Simon Bennett appeared neither crazy or bitter spoke highly of either the strength of character the wizard possessed or the fact that working at the Ministry wasn't a bad job. Jasper liked it anyhow. He hoped, with any luck to be here as long as Simon had thus far.

Jasper noted the discomfort of Simon's reaction when on to the discussion of the new department head and decided it would be more uncomfortable still to press that issue. "I think the last time I saw Sherman Clark in the Hall of Prophecy was when...I first began here. 208...2? Yes. 2082."

"But you've been here longer than that. Almost a decade! I trust you're very happy with it for the time being then. Do you have any aspirations? Not only with titles, but I mean, do you have ..." Jasper paused considering how naive this would sound, but he HAD to know. "...An arch-nemesis? Someone who has always managed to avoid capture or arrest?"
