Sigh. Didn't these people know how to be polite and answer the door? Or, if busy, at least just say so so that one would not have to stand there and act like a fool? Because that was definitely what Amber was starting to feel like. In fact, she was even starting to believe that perhaps it was just best to walk away before someone found her there and thought she was some demented person or something of the sort. Oh yes, for she would not make herself sound desperate and knock on the door.

Well, still, she could always wait one more minute. It wasn't as if anyone was nearby for the time being. From what she saw, that is.

Narrowing her eyes slightly at this thought, she looked from one side to the other, as if waiting for someone that would be covered with an invisibility cloak to pop out of nothing and give themselves in.

She was just observing this little spot on a wall, when she heard a female voice. Bawling banshees! Now someone would think she was a loony. What a great start as a Ministry worker, was it not? And that meant nothing but that she'd have to make whoever it was that had caught her standing there think something diferent. Not taking another second, she turned around to face a rather older woman. Unconsciously, Amber started taking the woman in, just as she would with a possible dark wizard. It looked like old habits died hard.

"Good day," She replied in a sweet tone, her lips finally cracking into perfectly fake smile, only for it to vanish at the woman's question as she gave place to an expression of relief. "Oh, yes, I hope so," She smiled yet again. "Do you happen to know where the department head is? I'm the new liason and I thought it would be best to introduce myself."

There, a perfectly good excuse (though could you really call it an excuse when it was the truth?) to be standing there like a fool.

It was real. It did happen. We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us. Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders, and it's going to be around long after we're gone. Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day. That's the thing about Hogwarts. No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back.
