I look at this as a wonderful and unique opportunity, and I can promise you that I will give you my best, as I always do."

She stopped for a moment as she realized that the Minister was thinking of the exact same person that she herself had in mind to take over the position of Department Head for Education. Who else could it be but Jake? "I do believe Jake has a good understanding of what is happening in the department, in fact, I think he may have connections at Hogwarts who keep him informed of things," Samantha said truthfully. "He's always struck me as a dedicated, hard worker, and I think he would do fine if given the opportunity."
Never had Reagan felt more confident in a hiring decision as the one she made in Samantha Rose. Just the right work ethic combined with a pleasant nature made her a perfect fit in a department head position requiring some finesse with people and dedication to the Ministry. "I've nearly cleared my things from that office and moved them into this one, so you should be able to move into the office just as soon as you've wrapped things up in the Department of Education.

"Once you establish your presence in that office, it is important that you never let anyone into my office without express permission from myself. If someone arrives without an appointment, have them sit in the waiting room while you enter to inform me of their purpose. I'll then decide if I wish to see them and you can relay the message. If at any point you have questions about your role, please do not hesitate to ask.

"Lastly, once you are set up here, I'll formally introduce you to the liaison staff, as well as the Junior Assistant to the Minister, Ms. Angelina Gilmore. As you two will be working closely together, it is important that you have a proper introduction."
Here's hoping they work well together! Drama neither desired nor tolerated with Reagan in the office!

With Samantha's confirmation of Jake's character settling that hiring matter, Reagan indicated to Ms. Rose, "I am going to call Mr. Rider back into the office to offer him the position now."

Reading the note, Jake's first reaction was immediate relief. First of all - no one's going to die. Second - . . . Well, he couldn't really say everything was ok, but things certainly did look a little -just a TINY bit- better than before.

Sighing, Jake resumed his leaning position on the wall and succumbed to his thoughts as he waited impatiently for the two women to let him back in.
Reagan stood from her chair, hastily making her way to the door. Opening the door wide, Reagan gestured him toward the office's interior, "Mr. Rider, please join us in my office once again and have a seat with Ms. Rose. Did you get the chance to send word to St. Mungo's?"
