 Craig, Angelica, and John Hiss!Roar!Growl!Caw! | Hermione's Double | The Little Three | Alecate
In all her...two months...at the Ministry of Magic, Bella had not once seen her office in such a serious state. If she was alone, she was either reading a copy of Witch Weekly or filing her nails. If she was with someone, she was usually assigning jobs or laughing about something or another. To be conversing about serious matters was something Bella had yet to get her feet wet in. Well, there's a first time for everything, right?
At least Craig seemed to be putting up a big effort to help out, even if he did look rather ghastly white in the process. Yet? Was he planning a child? About to be a father? Bella glanced from employee to employee, waiting for someone to explain just what was going on. She laughed when Craig mentioned what his mother had said about him not yet growing up. Leave it to Craig to lighten the atmosphere at a time like this.
At the sound of Angelica's news, Bella opened her mouth to congratulate her but stopped when her friend started talking again. "Oh, Angelica! No matter what you say, congratulations are definitely in order. I'm sure you're responsible and loving enough to raise this child with or without his or her father," she assured. Her parents, though? Exactly how old was Angelica? Bella understood that the woman probably greatly respected her parents, but really, at Angelica's age, she shouldn't worry so. "You are an adult, Angelica. You are old enough and mature enough to make your own decisions and handle your own responsibilities."
Just then, a knock sounded on the door, and Bella excused herself once again. My, this office was starting to become like King's Cross Station, wasn't it? She supposed that was a good thing, though, as it meant her employees were faithful and ready to help out. She pulled the door open to see Mr. John Milloy standing there. "John, how are you? Please come in," she said, opening the door wide. She'd taken to calling her employees by their first names ever since a good many of them had requested she do so.
