Daichi had thought about using the tie with multiple ducks printed on it which he had gotten from a former professor during his Hogwarts days because it was a feast after all. In the end, he had decided against him because he had caught his own son laughing at him when he had been looking at himself in the mirror this morning. The little brat.

He arrived at the ministry a bit later than the new employers because he knew there would be a line for the entrance. And he had been right when he saw the people grabbing their goody bags and speaking to one and another.

His dark brown eyes scanned the crowd, hoping he would find some of his own coworkers when his eyes landed on a very familiar and perhaps awkward figure. He looked over at Professor Flamsteed...or ..no he wasn't a professor anymore, who seemed to be ..uh...battling a cat.... Merlin's Beard what was even happening?

Curious, Daichi moved through the crowd until he was at the scene as well just as another employee (amelia) had gotten hold of the cat. "Don't tell me you're still scared of cats, Professor Flamsteed?" he asked with a small grin. He DID recognise him right? It had been 12 years since they last saw each other BUT STILL .
