"As a matter of fact, I managed to squeeze in a bit more than that," Jake nodded with a smile and produced the note he had received from St. Mungo's as he sat down.


"That arrived just a moment ago. I also went to see Syd Wordsmith up on the second floor and he has already gone to follow out your requests," he told Reagan and Samantha, quite pleased with his performance. True, this was a crisis and if he HADN'T been this useful then he wasn't cut out for this job but still. Every man likes getting a little credit sometime.

Reagan returned to her seat behind the desk, crossing her legs and sitting straight with her shoulders back. Accepting the small piece of parchment from Jake, Reagan read quickly and carefully about Professor Lupa and Headmaster Bontecou. Time for a visit to St. Mungo's!

But before she could leave... "Very nice work, Mr. Rider. I am quite pleased. And your efficiency in this matter leaves me very confident in my next decision." Reagan paused to ensure she had Jake's undivided attention, "Ms. Rose here has just accepted the position of Senior Undersecretary and will be transferring to the Minister's Office in the coming days. That leaves the Department of Magical Education without a department head, though I hope not for long."

Not wanting to string the poor guy along any further, Reagan offered, "I'd like for you to take over as Department Head, if you're willing. You've shown that you work efficiently, which I can appreciate, and you've been an asset to your Department. Not to mention that Ms. Rose gave you a glowing recommendation. So, all that is left is for you to accept. What say you?"
