She was little nervous now that she felt like she had babbled on and on about nothing. Vi decided to move to her seat. Viloet had to think hard about what country and city she liked the best. "I think I like New York City in the USA the best." Violet laughed when she realized that she had actually said that outloud "It's the big Apple, I love everything about it!" Violet smiled and listened to every one else's favorite places! "Oh yes... big apple is very juicy!" She said and nodded. Quote:

Taking a glance towards the inside of the conference room, she was amazed of the round table. Whee, she loved that, a lot because it gave everyone a chance to see each other's faces and do their own opinion about a matter. Like the good old days, kinda.
And obviously, the meeting had already started. Grinning wide and mouthing a "Welcome...and sorry for being late" to her new Department Boss, Mrs. Latorta she started listening to what they were saying. Maybe, she'd speak after a couple of people. Still, it was sometimes embarrassing to arrive late to a meeting of this matter. "Thank you... I'm Gina... go on, let us know your favorite city." She said. Quote:

It wasn't what he had trained for but then life didn't always have you walk the path you had in mind. "I'm looking forward to my future in the department." Malachi sat down and took a cookie. 'Mmmmm! This is good!' He grinned, thinking that the meeting had certainly started on a positive note.
Malachi waited his turn. "For me, it has to be London. This city is just packed with diversity, both magical and muggle." He pushed his hair out of his eyes again. "There's always something to do and see, something to experience." He looked expectantly at the next person, curious to hear what they would say. "London, yes, indeed. It is one of the best." She said. Quote:

She corrected herself at the last second, and just continued smiling. "Oooh, cookies!" She chuckled, and took two, before taking a seat near Malachi, and wrapping one cookie up in a napkin, Rory could have that later on, of course.
Listening to both Gina and Malachi, Pippa took it upon herself to speak next. "Well, for me, it has to be Greece, I cant specifically wittle it down to a certain city, but I worked out there for a while, voluntary, and the buzz from people is just... out of this world. Everyone seems to just take people under their wings, much like working here. The weather just happens to be nicer in Greece." She laughed at her last point, and nodded offering the next point of speech to someone else there. "Ah! Do you know what people in Greece do on their birthday? They slide around a lot! Get it?" She laughed. "It's a groaner, but cute, no?" Quote:

There is also a massive variety of magical animals , merrows or merpeople, porlocks, Aethonans, and the most well known of all Leprechauns. I grew up there and when we moved to London we spent every Holliday there with my mothers Irish family. For all these reasons i love ireland so very much, thank you for listening, sorry if i went on a bit, one final point while the weather is not as 'nice' to some people as it is not as sunny as italy or greece i've always love the rain, nothing in the world will ever beat ridding or a broom in the poring rain with me grandfather, dad and sister, my mums not very good on a broom neither my nan " hadley knew he had spoken for a long time and also shared a lot, that memory of flying with his grandfather is his most dear, as not long after that he passed away, and while recounting it he had a tear in his eye and voice started to wobble and it took all his effort not to break down then and their "Oh my dear Hadley, call me Gina, and yes, you are fine." She said. "Ireland is beautiful." Quote:

I played for the Chudley Cannons and won the Quidditch cup with them" J.J. finally took a breath while he explained everything to Gina. " This is why I enjoy working for the International
Co-operation Department. " Thanks for the cookies and I have some pumpkin juice" J.J. Starr told Gina Tortola. Quote:

Laura listened to her and then others and their favorite places... well,for me it always has been London and next is India, i really like Mumbai.Its a wonderful place all lively and colorful she said speaking of her visit there which had left her spell bound and since then she always had a soft corner for that place. And it is for the very fact that both the cities are truly, truly diverse and the people warm and welcoming she said And no doubt both of them have their own historic heritages which is just wonderful she continued... "Mumbai is indeed beautiful." She said to the woman. Quote:

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." "England is indeed wonderful. The flora is gorgeous here too..." She said and smiled.
"Now, here's a game that will allow me to figure out more about you. I wish for you to tell me two truths and one lie. And I will guess which is the lie." She said.
