He smiled at the others present then looked to the new Department head holding out the small Honeydukes style box of sweeties.
"I know I'm a bit late, but on behalf of the Ministers office, welcome to the Ministry of Magic." He said also offering the floral arrangement with a warm smile.
"I'm Claudian, by the way. Junior Assistant to Minister Taylor. I'm not a Liaison, per se, but if you should ever need anything and the Minister and Undersecretary are not available, please don't hesitate to call." He introduced himself to the new Department head for Education.
Antigone watched as the man, Claudian she soon learned, entered with a bushel. She was curious as to what was inside to say the least... Awwww...
She felt her cheeks redden as the man presented the candies and flowers. Taking them from him she smiled widely and said, "
Well, this is just the nicest thing! Thank you so much!" Turning back to her desk she conjured a vase, filled it with water and set the flowers inside. *Sigh* She LOVED flowers! And candy wasn't bad either!
"
Claudian, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Antigone McArdle, as I am sure you know since you knew I was the new Head. I appreciate the warm welcome more than you know! OH HEY! Could you tell us how exactly to get to the Minister's office? Wes and I here are utterly bamboozled as to how to navigate this place, it seems," she said to Claudian as she motioned toward
the yummy yummy Wes.
OH where were her manners?! "
Would either of you care to have a seat?" she asked as she conjured two more chairs.
