Typically he liked to alert his Senior Undersecretary when he would be popping by, even if it were only to share the occasional batch of bon bons to unwind and just have a chat, but today he felt like delivering his little office surprise on a whim. Nothing too fancy, but he had put a bit of effort into things. A simply little snack basket of her favorites - including his own personal addition of yogurt covered raisins and framed photo of his grandchild because everyone ought to have one of those on their desks - to show his appreciation for her work up to this point and moving forward.

So it was that the boisterous Minister for Magic APPEARED from the door leading to his waiting area and into hers.

"Hey there, Maaaaaaaaaay," he greeted with a chuckle. Last time it had been April. His ~~grand~~fatherly humor knew no bounds.

January's morning had begun with tea and sorting through some mail and paperwork on her desk. She was one to always have a clean work space and couldn't really work if it was cluttered. Everything had a place in January's office. She had been working on a few things in said office since then, filing, forms, requests, et cetera.

After she had gotten some paperwork finished and tucked away, she tucked a file away and noticed a separate stack of papers on her desk. Most of them had been read, but she just.. didn't know what to do with them at the moment. Law Enforcement was aware of them and so were her two lovely Aurors that had been watching her back for her. Charles was not aware of them yet. He was still new and getting settled in and had a lot to worry about and she was sure this was going to pass sooner or --

January jumped just slightly when a voice tore her from her thoughts on the letters in hand. May, yes, that was her new name today. The joke that never got old to everyone but her. Speaking of Charles...

"Will I be June next week?" she asked with a light, slightly forced laugh, carefully trying to tuck those letters under a different stack of papers, but trying not to be suspicious. She grabbed her tea cup, the papers with angry scribbles left partially exposed on her desk.

"... you will pay with your life."

"To what do I owe the pleasure, Minister?" she asked with a smile, sipping her tea. She did quite like it when he visited. But he usually knocked so he didn't surprise her so much.
