She found a seat. "I'm going to start this meeting. If others show up in the middle of the meeting, that's cool... I know we're all busy and we can't all be here on time. She said and pulled a cookie from the levitating tray. "I love these... my husband will keep up in baked goods every day." She took a bite and swallowed. "Let me start by saying that it's such a pleasure to be here. I'm excited to be a part of this team. So, I'd like to do a little bit of a team building exercise. I'd like to go around the table, and for everyone to tell me what country, or city within that country, is their favorite and why." She smiled. "Let me start. I am partial to Italy, because I've lived there, but more than that... I think the history and beauty of Venice takes my breath away. I feel like I take a step back through history when I go there. There are no cars and it feels like you're in a different world. Not to mention, the mermaid population is amazing there. They are so nice and so helpful." She turned to her right and waited for the next person to speak. Helena smiled as the older woman complimented her name, Giggling a little bit, Helena shook her head, "Oh, thank you. Though, I'd disagree with you on that... Probably only because I wouldn't want to sound egotistical." With a little grin, she took a cookie off the woman, "thank you for these." She said to her simply, and then went to find a seat.
When all the greetings were done, Helena looked over to their new boss. Gina, did she say she was called to Laura? Yes... Gina. That was it. Pretty name. Helena smiled at the woman's enthusiasm, she was going to be an AMAZING Department head!
Listening to Gina speak, Helena was amazed at what the woman said about Venice... It'd never occured to her about the merpopulation that was bound to be there! When she'd finished talking, Helena listened to the other people from the different devisions talk.
When it got to her, Helena smiled shyly. Talking in front of people wasn't something she was brilliant at, which would be the reason why she didn't fancy taking up a Devision Head job any time soon. "Well, I'd have to say that England is the country that facinates me the most. It's my favourite country because of the history that's here; both Muggle and Magical, The stories and legends and facts go back so far in history... Reading and learning about the different events is something I could never get bored of. It's just such a diverse country, coming to work in London everyday from the countryside in the Peninnes is just fantastic. The changes in the atmosphere and the energy is beautiful. You wouldn't believe that two places so different could reside on such a teeny island." Helena paused for a moment before carrying on, She didn't care that she was talking relatively quietly, Gina was sat close enough to her to hear. "This summer will mark the sixteenth year that I've lived in England, and not once have I ever regretted moving to this side of the channel." |
