Charles could hardly believe that this marked the start of his third term as Minister for Magic. Perhaps he should of held a bit more a lavish occasion, but there was also something to be said about supporting local businesses and cutting where could be cut to get the Ministry budget back on track after the Quidditch World Cup.. Nothing in the red, they had all made sure of that, but things were a little tight since they had gone all out to ensure the event went off mostly without a hitch. There was still something to be said about that bludger situation - and Charles had had a good chuckle reading the Prophet article that implied that it was a blushing piece of quidditch equipment - while investigations continued, but all and all...it had been fantastic and the world view of the British Ministry of Magic was properly on the up. Finally, they had officially dug themselves out of the whole that Nickles had dug for them.
Standing behind the counter near the t-shirt for now, he himself donning a polka dot one, the greying man greeted each employee flamboyantly and with his signature dashing grin.
"Looking well, Carter."
"Excellent choice, Emilia."
"That purple looks smashing on you Mariana."
"Welcome to the Ministry little miss!"
"What a smart looking couple!"
"Purple, an excellent choice. Welcome to the Ministry!"
"Chin up, son. This is a party, not a funeral."
Charles chest puffed out a bit and he regretted not bringing his grandchildren along for the evening. Or his own children. Though they had had their fill of Ministry functions in Japan during the winter break.
He would get to his lane soon enough.
