Now that Juniper was there, she thought nothing of getting started on her lunch and she pulled the sandwich from her bag. Taking a bite, she glanced back at the other woman as she spoke. Nature in the office... That meant DERP, right? Mariel was fairly certain that was where she ended up. "So what is your position in the Ministry?" There was a time when she couldn't care less about Herbology but since Ethan got more involved with that type of thing, she at least held a vague interest in it. And she wondered if that was what Juniper did too, though she knew that department did other things as well.

Ah, and of course the same question was posed to her as well. She supposed that it would make sense to start with talking about one's job when catching up and she smiled lightly. "I'm the Department Head for Magical Games and Sports. I've been with the department for... hmm, almost ten years now." Wow. Where did all that time go? "Department Head for six... We have a pretty big event coming up, hopefully you'll be able to come." She was actually pretty proud of it and the hard work her team was doing with it.

Magical Games and Sports. Cool. Juniper smiled when Mariel talked about her job. Ten years at the Ministry of Magic... whoa. Ten years ago, Juniper had just quit her last regular job. Herbology research in the rainforest didn't really lend itself to motherhood, after all. "That's amazing," Juniper said, a little bit in awe. "You were always good at Quidditch, so it's not too much of a surprise." After all, Ravenclaws like them were high achievers.

Then Mariel asked about her own job. Juniper took a quick bite of her sandwich so she could have a quick minute to collect her thoughts. "I'm the Lead Caretaker in the Department of Environmental Regulation and Protection," she said. "It's a recent change, but so far I'm enjoying it. I get to work with the upkeep of the Ministry's greenhouses."

Oh. Wait. But what had Mariel said about an event her department was planning? Juniper was not very involved with all the goings on at the Ministry. She had the bad habit of going in and out of the office without really speaking to anyone outside the department. "What sort of event are you planning? Is it family friendly?" She was sure the kids would like to see whatever sporting event was coming up, if they could.
