Jake eyes went wide, his mouth flew open and his heart skipped a beat as the Minister asked him whether he wanted to... He gulped.

"Er... wow,"
was all the man managed, his eyes beginning to sting as he stared at the two women in front of him, his mind reeling with this new revelation. They were offering him a job. As department head. To HEAD this department. To be in charge.

Were they insane?! Putting HIM in charge? He was lazy, stupid, lacking people skills and just generally an awful person. No, wait, he was already Division Head. So... It did KIND OF make sense that they were asking him.

Asking him to be department head. OHMYDEARMERLINDEPARTMENTHEAD! Jake, who had been frozen in shock, suddenly came to life and breathed again, blinking rapidly and feeling exceptionally embarrassed.

"Thank you for the offer. I would love to head the Department of Magical Education, and I hope to do as good a job if not better than Samantha," he finally replied, forcing his smile down into only a slight curl of his lips and nodded towards Samantha. He was grateful to her and would always be grateful...

Even though, a heads up would have been pretty nice.
Keeping her face clear and free of opinion as Jake seemed to be processing, Reagan twiddled her thumbs and sneaked a glance at Samantha. Poor man might be in shock! If he doesn't respond in the next 5 seconds, it is 'Reenervate' time!

Finally, Jake accepted the position and Reagan nodded once, "Excellent. I feel confident that you will live up to Samantha's legacy and my expectations. I'll push the necessary paperwork through immediately, before I head out to St. Mungo's. Please work with Samantha to transition into this new role." Reagan stood up from her chair and extended her hand for him to shake, "Oh, and keep your eyes open for a memo in the coming days. I intend to hold a meeting with all the department head to discuss some things, so be sure to attend."
