Grae couldn't believe that bowling was the chosen activity for orientation. She had imagined something more along the lines of sitting around in a conference room, listening to the department heads lecture, and going over basic rules. But she was working for the Ministry now, so she supposed that she should get used to expecting the unexpected.

Taking a deep breath and pushing open the doors to the bowling alley, the young woman surveyed the group of people that had arrived already. She spotted several little groups congregating based on shirt color, along with the Minister of Magic himself greeting each employee. At least the people looked relatively friendly.

Grae pulled a red t-shirt over her blouse (obviously the former Gryffindor had to pick the shirt with her house colors) and traded in her high heels for a mangy old pair of bowling shoes. Thank goodness she had remembered to bring socks!

SPOILER!!: Ava, Chloe, & Ronan

The 22 year-old did mention about this gathering to Reed and he might be joining in once his work was done, but it's okay if he couldn't do that.

"Hi, everyone." She greeted her fellow MLE people who had arrived there (Emilia and Carter.) The minister of magic also got a small nod too from her. Oh look, a t-shirt. Looks like she's going to channel her inner Gryffindor by grabbing the red shirt.

The only good thing actually was the red shirts, because even after graduating Hogwarts ten and a half years ago, Chloe was forever and always a Gryffindor.

Pulling on the red shirt over her own clothes, the ginger made her way over towards some other teammates, turning up her nose at the burgers. Perhaps if she was desperate she'd go for a meatless panini or a grilled cheese sandwich, the latter of which she'd grown used to since that was a staple in a six year old's diet. No other transportation employees were here yet, unless there were some new hires here she didn't know of?

"You any good at this?" she gestured at the young wizard and the alley.

The Minister got a friendly nod in return, though internally Ronan wondered where he got his ideas for orientation. At least it was less of a family thing this time.....?

His second teammate was a familiar face in the form of another fellow MLEer. "Hey, Ava," he replied. "Nice holiday?" They were soon joined by a older witch who seemed to feel like he did about the greasiness of the food. "Eh, I'm okay at it." Not an expert or anything, but good enough to not embarrass himself.

She passed by the food table, a bit too nervous to eat at the moment (although she made a mental note to grab a soft pretzel later on), and made her way over the group donning red shirts, who seemed to be chatting already. "Hello!" she said cheerfully, giving them all a friendly smile and wave. "My name's Grae. I'm new here, in the transportation department! It's so nice to meet you all." Perhaps one of them also worked her department? Nevertheless, she was excited to meet her new coworkers.
