She looked up at the question. She knew there weren't many muggleborns in the magical world. Most people had at least one magical parent. Royce didn't. "It was a surprise to the whole family. I think my mom was more excited than my father. But he came around." Royce nodded as a swag of her cut bob swung into her face. She pushed it back out of her face. "Yes I'm muggleborn." She looked at Laura waiting for the sneer of the smart alack remark, but it didn't come and Royce relaxed.
She smiled, "This is my first day actually." she admitted. "Its not that I need the money but I want to have an identity outside of my parents you know. I want to be Royce Norwood. Not Tamia's or Harlem's daughter." It was the fist time she said it out loud but it was true. She was Royce and she wanted to make her mark on the world like her parents did.
Squee!
Well, no. Laura didn't squee. Nope.
"What a wonderful idea," she said, grinning instead. In all seriousness though, testing out new Firebolts seemed like a great idea. Or perhaps the British or Irish national teams' brooms, if not the Bulgarians. She would count the days until either team purchased new brooms.
Laura listened to her detailing her family's reaction to finding out she was a witch, and nodded in understanding.
"My family was immensely surprised too. And my sister was especially excited. Couldn't wait until she got her letter too, but she didn't know that she was already too old," she said smiling softly at the memories. Poor Kenzie. She had been jealous the first year or so.
"I suppose adjusting is a difficult task for most Muggleborns," she added as an afterthought.
"Ah, in that case, welcome to the Ministry as well!" Laura said, clapping her hands together. Yep yep, the first day on the job was an exciting one.
"Now you can be Royce Norwood, Magical Transportation-ator," she said with an air of magnificence. Oh to be part of another person's first stop on their path in the Ministry.
"Do you intend on staying with the Ministry long, then?" Quote:

Laura looked up as she heard a familiar voice. She smiled and waved to him.
"Hello, Jayden!" she called. It looked as if everyone was mingling quite pleasantly, new and old employees alike!
