It was his daughter who had talked him out of the purchase, actually.

His bowling shoes now a reflective surface, Airey tugged down on his red team shirt with a mighty chuckle and strolled towards the lanes like it was no big deal. Him. In a red shirt. He sincerely hoped that those he taught at Hogwarts who were among the participants this evening appreciated the tongue-in-cheek humor.

"Ah, Mr. Carter. Good to see you again," he greeted the young man with a chipper grin as he sized up the ...... heads. Sweet solstice. There was no surprise that Miss Burton had selected a red shirt as well. And then he quickly averted his eyes because there was PDA going on between his former pupil and that young man [Kimothy]. Abort abort abort. "Oi! Conley!" he beckoned his colleague over to the lane. Saved by the appearance of another red shirt.

"Good or bad," he mused while passing behind Miss Adara. And a spoiler alert for all present, the Mysteries department head was absolutely dreadful at bowling. It was more his limbs refusing to listen to what his brain was instructing it to do. "None of us will accomplish anything by just standing around so let us all select our ... heads ... and get this show on the roll."

Ha. Dad humor at its finest right there. His appreciation for the team names this event was astronomical.

His arms went out wide - but sweet solstice do NOT hug him - to greet the young woman [Fireheart] who had just introduced herself as being new to the Ministry. "Welcome. Airey Flamsteed. Department head for Mysteries."

Grae had just bent down to secure her bowling shoes when she noticed a middle-aged man coming toward her with his arms outstretched. That was certainly a grandiose way to greet someone. Thinking that it would be a bit odd to a hug a man that she had never actually met before, Grae opted for a simple wave and brilliant smile. From his looks and voice, he seemed like an energetic, but kind, man. And his name. That sounded terribly familiar. "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Flamsteed," she said, racking her brain to where she had heard it before. Aha! Hogwarts! "I've heard so much about you from my fellow Gryffindors! I started at Hogwarts just after you had left, so the older students had loads of stories about you." She was fairly certain that he was the former Head of House, as well as the Astronomy professor. "All good ones, of course," she added with a smile. And it was true! The older Gryffindors had said that he was pretty cool.

He had considered bringing her, but that was still a mountain of feelings that Léo did not want to deal with right now.

So here he was. At a work function. Alone. Not knowing a single person. His worst nightmare. He never was really good at introducing himself at these things. Oh and he was supposed to pick a team. How would he decided which one? His anxiety was already starting to get the best of him. Maybe he should have stayed home and just waited until work. Less awkward way to make introductions.

Grae also noticed a man hovering by the t-shirts and looking a bit out of place. Maybe it was his first day at the Ministry as well. Feeling like she should make lots of connections during this orientation, Grae approached him and gave him a friendly smile. "Hello there!" She offered her hand. "I'm Grae. Grae Fairfield, Department of Transportation. It's my first day, too." Perhaps it was rude of her to just assume that it was his first day. But he hadn't talked to anyone yet, and he was looking a little lost. Hopefully it would make him feel better that he wasn't the only new employee at the bowling alley.
