"My name is Sophia Vivaldi, the Head of the Department of Mysteries. And as most of you have seen in the headlines, Reagan Taylor has been elected as our new Minister. So in the spirits of the change in leadership, both globally for our Minister and specific to this department with myself and some of the Division Heads, please enjoy the refreshments and opportunity to mingle with some of your colleagues. Thank you again."
Once finished, the brunette approached the refreshment table and poured herself a cup of tea with light cream and selected a single pastry before making her way over towards the tables to mingle as well.
Aidon nodded to Sophia's brief speech. He raised his goblet as she spoke and finished his Pumpkin Juice. He stood up and made his way to the refreshment table. He grabbed a thick cauldron cake and took a small bite of it, savoring the taste of the tasty treat. His thirst coming back again, he made his way to get a drink, standing beside Sophia as he poured himself some chilled tea.
"That was a very nice speech, Sophia," he said kindly to her.
