Albert Kettleburn EraAll historical records pertaining to Ministry of Magic RPG under Minister for Magic, Albert Kettleburn [IC January 2081 - December 2086; OOC June 2013 - January 2015]
Tamara Scamander was MUCH better suited to Accidents and Catastrophes than she was to the Minister's office. The work up there was as mind numbing as the coworkers she had encountered. Bah. The heels of her Manolo's click clacked as she made her way swiftly into the work areas and over to a free desk. This one would do, she thought.
Setting the small box down she gave a tight smile and then settled into the chair, back ramrod straight as she went about making her little work space a bit more... HER.
Back to work. Derek's favourite day of... 'holidays'.
The young man made his way to level 3 quietly, as he always did. Hopefully there would be already lots of things to do so he wouldn't have to spend his time talking to people. And now he had the lab all to himself as his main work area and that pleased him big time.
When he stepped inside of the working area to go to his own new working space, he noticed someone. He didn't really recall seeing here around before. At least not there. So Derek stared at her while she put a box on an empty desk.
The former Gryffindor was suddenly suspicious.
He watched her for a few more seconds before he realised he was actually walking towards her! What in the name of Damocles Belby was he doing?? Though... that box really did make him suspicious. What if there was something in there that would contimine the whole Ministry again?? They couldn't cope with that '''''zombie''''' thing all over again.
Derek stopped just a few meters away from her, eyes on her back as she put things on the desk.

So there was something odd about the kid that stopped to creep on Tam, that much was clear. The sensation of being watched made Tam pause briefly, but then continue on with her getting settled. She was going to have to talk to Thea about this if it did not cease. Heh.
"Is there something I could help you with?" the new Spell Researcher asked without a backward glance.

Derek was still watching the woman from a relatively safe distance. He was still trying to see what she had in that box of hers.
The young man was suspicious. Very suspicio--
Oh, Ptolemy! She had noticed him and was TALKING to him now. He cursed himself for not having gone straight to his lab. But ironically he did care about the safety of the Ministry employees.
At least he thought it was ironic.
The 26 year-old cleared his throat before speaking. "Uh, um. No, ma'am." He said awkwardly, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking around uneasily. It would be best to just go to his lab now. Come on, legs, take him to the lab. Now!
...
"Did that box go through inspection before you brought it here?" Akjfgndskljfnsj. For the love of Merlin, what was he doing?? Derek had to explain himself now, unfortunately. Even he new that the situation just got more awkward. "I uh... I meant no offense. It's just that... we had problems with an infestation last year." Did she know about it? "Here... in the Ministry. Many employees." Was he making it worse? Did that make sense?
Maybe he would just leave now... but that box! He couldn't take his eyes off it!

Fresh from her much needed holiday, Jade walked into the main work area ready to work.
She stopped when she noticed Derek having some sort of staring contest with one of their new employees, a woman who looked like she would belong here quite nicely. *Poor woman though-- Derek can be weird when first meeting someone. I'd better go and see what is going on.*
She walked up to the two, "Hello, Derek," She greeted him before turning towards the woman and holding out her hand, "Hi, I'm Jade-- I'm one of the Reminisciators. Nice to meet you."

Tamara Scamander was NOT interested in this CHILD'S suspicions about her, or whatever. Turning to look at him she narrowed her eyes. Placing her hands on her hips she gave one curt nod before speaking. "I would appreciate it if you would mind your own business, but yes. I am a transfer from the Minister's Office so I am more than up to speed on Ministry policy, for the record. Now if you don't mind I would like to get back to the task at hand." Which was code for MOVE ALONG.
Then there was another one... Oh she felt the need to give her rank when she introduced herself. Was this a thing now? Nodding absently in her direction she said, "Tamara Scamander. You can call me Tamara or Mrs. Scamander." Yep.

Wow. That was very rude. And people said he was the antisocial. Pfft.
Derek just stood there with his hands in his pockets as the new person went all rude on him. Excuse him for thinking about everyone's safety! Merlin. The young man said nothing, though, as he just stared at her while she nagged.
At least she had the box checked, from what he understood. 'She knew the policy'. Yadda yadda.
Jade was there now. Good, that meant Derek could leave and not bother about that box anymore, since Jade was also aware of what had happened in the previous year. She could handle the situation then.
Without saying anything or introducing himself or even greeting Jade, Derek turned around and started making his way to HIS lab. He prayed that rude woman would never have to go in HIS lab. Hopefully she wasn't a Potions person or anything.
Though that didn't mean a lot, did it? Last year there were A BILLION of non-Potion people in there, much to his displeasure.
Urgh.

Jade frowned. This woman was being incredibly snobbish in her opinion--it was clear that she was a transfer from another department. Jade just wasn't sure which one.
"Alright, Tamara. Aren't you a department transfer? Since I've seen you around the Ministry before?"

Jade smirked as she watched Derek walk away without saying anything to her. Oh she would get hers later on. She would have to be subtle about it because she figured that Derek had had a tough time with the whole Zombie fiasco.

See the thing about Tam was this, she wasn't rude... she was matter of fact. There was a difference. The funny thing was, she didn't really care to hold children's hands and worry about their feelings. She had children at home and off on their own.
Watching the guy shove his hands in his pockets she shrugged and went back to getting her desk straightened up. Then the tone on the lady caused her to look up and quirk a brow... "There is no need for a condescending tone. And I am from the Minister's Office like I just told the gentleman." Again, not rude. To the point. Heh. And if she said her name snottily again she would lose all pretense of being nice. If the employees thought Althea was an ice queen they had yet to meet her cousin, Tamara. Although... Tam never really understood that as a defining characteristic toward Althea. She found her to be absolutely lovely.

Wearing his usual attire of what he pretended was business casual - jeans and a t-shirt - Aron walked into the work area looking for two employees in particular. While the thought of working with the loon over in Creatures made him want to ban the word "aura," his department and hers really needed to come to some conclusions in regards to Mutant X and just what the holly was going on with it, the crups, and that lab.
Maybe he should have grabbed some coffee from the break room before coming in here. Hmmm.

Armand walked into the main work area and looked around. He spotted just the man he was looking for, and walked up to Aron, glad he didn't have to visit the man's office just yet. "Mr. Ashburry-Hawthorne, could I have a moment of your time, please?"

Aron was just about to head to the break room for that much needed coffee - since the two employees he needed to find were no where to be seen at the moment - and had turned towards the door when he was stopped by Armand. "Certainly," he nodded. "Is this the sort of thing that we can discuss over some coffee in the break room." Where he was just heading. "Or is it a bit more pressing?"

"Oh no, coffee is just fine. Preferable, really. Plus I'm sure it would be nice to have a conversation with me someplace... comfortable, this time." He chuckled softly. He gestured toward the break room. "Please, lead the way."

Ha, good to know the man had a sense of humor and his efforts were rewarded with a mild chuckle from the Department Head's lips. "Alright, let's go then."
He would come back here after he had finished to continue looking for Jade and Derek.

Jade finally finished what she dubbed the mountain of doom of parchment work. She moved her chair back from her seat and stretched a little with an embarrassing sigh. She decided that she would head over to the break room for her favorite brand of muggle coffee. As she headed out of the main work area, she was pleasantly surprised to run into her boss, Aron whom she hadn't spoken to in a few days (not everything she did had to be reported to him of course).
"Hey, Boss." She said with a tiny smile as she walked up to him, intending to give him an update when Derek marched into the room, with what she would say was a murderous look in his eye.
Jade automatically took a step back and hesitantly asked "Are you okay Derek?"

Derek was not really trying to control himself at all and didn't see a reason for that. Someone had touched his lab, and not only that, someone had MOVED his things around. Could they be any more RUDE?? NO. THEY COULD NOT.
"No!" He exclaimed angrily, louder than he had ever spoken since he started working in the Ministry. The former Gryffindor shot a mad look at Jade, even though he knew it hadn't been her. She knew better. Be he WAS mad and everyone would get angry looks for now. "Who has been in my lab?" Derek asked at once, looking from her to their boss. It didn't really occur to him maybe he shouldn't use that angry tone when talking to his boss, but his lab was more important at the moment and SOMEONE HAD BEEN THERE WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION AND WITHOUT LETTING HIM KNOW AND EVEN WORSE, THEY HAD TOUCHED HIS THINGS AND MOVED THEM AND UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURGH.
Frown. Deep and mad-looking FROWN. Oh, and some hard stares too. All around.

Oh, Derek was NOT a happy camper. It was almost comical, in a way, and he might have laughed had it not been for the fact that this was one of his employees and the man's well-being and mental state made for an efficient and fruitful workplace.
"It's alright, Derek. At least the lab hasn't suffered another explosion," he said while moving his hands up and down slowly in a 'calm down, mate' fashion. "Your new supervisor told me that he restocked things and would like to meet you." Probably should have had that level-wide meeting maybe.
Aron pinched the bridge of his nose and then looked back at the man. That wasn't the reason he had come into the work area to speak with him today. "While I've got you here, has there been any progress with the research on Mutant X?"
And now he turned his attention to Jade. "Jade, do you have some time today to come to my office? There is something I would like to discuss with you."

Derek continued frowning and clenching his right fist while listening to Aron.
........
What? "My new... supervisor?" What?? Derek's expression hanged from angry to utterly confused before a slight hint of horror could be seen. "Lab... supervisor? Oh, no. Merlin, please, no...
He blinked and didn't quite get his boss' other question, for his brain was still trying to understand and accept the fact he would have a flipping supervisor.

After their little talk in the breakroom, Armand make his way out, coffee still in his hands. He could hear the sounds of anger and distress in there and looked at each of them. Only Aron would recognize the odd glaze that crossed his face and the look as if he were looking at something far away. Then he chuckled slightly. "Well, you must be Derek Meriwether." He chuckled slightly. Ah, this was Mr. OCD. "I'm the new PART Supervisor. Pleased to meet you." And the last was certainly genuine, though there was a playful tone in his voice.

Jade smirked as she watched Aron trying to calm Derek down and then Derek's reaction to getting a supervisor. She thought that whoever that was had better be prepared to deal with Derek. He was sweet in his own unique way but come in between him and his lab, then well, a lot of bad things could happen.
As for what Aron had asked, "No, I haven't gotten any new information about mutant x, I was there just a few weeks ago and there was nothing new. Did they find anything? Oh that was a silly question." She rolled her eyes at herself. "I could go down there and see if I can get any more mental readings on him. Last time, there wasn't much so I don't know if it will be helpful.
And as for coming by to your office, sure. I just finished all the parchment work I had so I am pretty much free and can come at any time that suits you."
She noticed someone new to her come up to them and mention that he was the new Supervisor. She smiled as he introduced himself to them. It should be fun to see how Derek responded to the whole situation.

Yep, see, there it was. Aron could literally see Derek's head exploding like a dropped puffpod. Just thank Merlin there was no mess to clean up.
"Yes, Armand Erikson is his name. He comes with many years of experience and...." Oh look, there he was now. "Well then, I'll just let you two get acquainted then." And he would be waiting for Erikson's paper airplane memo.
Stepping away from the two men, Aron shifted his full and undivided attention to Jade and furrowed his brow. "Hmmm...we may need a new plan of attack," he said while rubbing his chin. Maybe it wasn't possible to retrieve memories from creatures, gifted as Jade was. "Or maybe third time is the charm. Give it one last go and if you still get nothing we'll have to think of something else. Creatures also has a pack of crups that they brought in a few months ago, perhaps they will be easier to work with." Given that, you know, they were not a mutation. "I'll let the Department Head over there know you'll be stopping by. Just make sure you have cleansed your aura."
And yes, there was a slight eye roll after that last sentence left his mouth.
"Excellent, could you stop by in about an half an hour? I have some paperwork I need to sort, but shouldn't take long," he said before leaning in to whisper his next set of instructions. "You can keep an eye on these two in meantime. Make sure Derek doesn't try to strangle the man."

Before Derek could say anything else, him, the person who had touched his precious lab, showed up and introduced himself.
Derek stared at him with his mouth ajar, frowning in disbelief. That person had dared to restock and had changed EVERYTHING in his lab without even ASKING FIRST and he just said he was PLEASED to meet him? Well, Derek was most certainly not pleased to meet him. Rude supervisor. Messing around with his lab like that. Rude. RUDE. So all the man got was a stare. Not a confused one anymore, but a very serious and hard stare.
Aron and Jade were leaving them both? No. No! NO! Uuurgh, why did people DO this to him??? He could also just strangle them both now for NOT HELPING. Urgh. Derek turned to... what was his name even? He turned to his new 'supervisor' without changing his expression. "D--" Derek wanted to tell him to STAY AWAY from his lab, but he opened his mouth briefly before closing it at once, and simply glared at the man.
He hadn't glared at anyone for that long in quite a while, and when he realised this he decided to shift his attention to Jade and Aron. Or his gaze, at least, because his brain and hands still wanted to strangle the new 'supervisor' and... create a password for his lab or something. Come up with a good enough spell to keep away unwanted people - that was: everyone - and those mutant things too.
...Actually, that wasn't a bad idea at all. Derek tried to keep watching Jade and Aron talk while thinking of what spell he could use, but every second he would shoot a glare from the corner of his eyes towards the new 'supervisor', and he honestly couldn't stop thinking about how good it would feel to STRANGLE THE MAN RIGHT THERE.

Derek's stare was nothing to him, and he calmly turned to the conversation at hand, as the man didn't seem to want to talk to him. "Mutant x? Well now, that sounds interesting." Crups, huh? It made him wonder what in the world they could use crups for, and what kind of mutant. He never was good at magical creatures, though Slade's library was quite informative.
Yep, see, there it was. Aron could literally see Derek's head exploding like a dropped puffpod. Just thank Merlin there was no mess to clean up.
"Yes, Armand Erikson is his name. He comes with many years of experience and...." Oh look, there he was now. "Well then, I'll just let you two get acquainted then." And he would be waiting for Erikson's paper airplane memo.
Stepping away from the two men, Aron shifted his full and undivided attention to Jade and furrowed his brow. "Hmmm...we may need a new plan of attack," he said while rubbing his chin. Maybe it wasn't possible to retrieve memories from creatures, gifted as Jade was. "Or maybe third time is the charm. Give it one last go and if you still get nothing we'll have to think of something else. Creatures also has a pack of crups that they brought in a few months ago, perhaps they will be easier to work with." Given that, you know, they were not a mutation. "I'll let the Department Head over there know you'll be stopping by. Just make sure you have cleansed your aura."
And yes, there was a slight eye roll after that last sentence left his mouth.
"Excellent, could you stop by in about an half an hour? I have some paperwork I need to sort, but shouldn't take long," he said before leaning in to whisper his next set of instructions. "You can keep an eye on these two in meantime. Make sure Derek doesn't try to strangle the man."
Jade nodded, "I'll go down there and see if I can't find out anything else. The Crups could be useful." She continued thoughtfully. "And half an hour would be fine." She then also slightly leaned in and said "I will try my best."

That person had dared to restock and had changed EVERYTHING in his lab without even ASKING FIRST and he just said he was PLEASED to meet him? Well, Derek was most certainly not pleased to meet him. Rude supervisor. Messing around with his lab like that. Rude. RUDE. So all the man got was a stare. Not a confused one anymore, but a very serious and hard stare.
Aron and Jade were leaving them both? No. No! NO! Uuurgh, why did people DO this to him??? He could also just strangle them both now for NOT HELPING. Urgh. Derek turned to... what was his name even? He turned to his new 'supervisor' without changing his expression. "D--" Derek wanted to tell him to STAY AWAY from his lab, but he opened his mouth briefly before closing it at once, and simply glared at the man.
He hadn't glared at anyone for that long in quite a while, and when he realised this he decided to shift his attention to Jade and Aron. Or his gaze, at least, because his brain and hands still wanted to strangle the new 'supervisor' and... create a password for his lab or something. Come up with a good enough spell to keep away unwanted people - that was: everyone - and those mutant things too.
...Actually, that wasn't a bad idea at all. Derek tried to keep watching Jade and Aron talk while thinking of what spell he could use, but every second he would shoot a glare from the corner of his eyes towards the new 'supervisor', and he honestly couldn't stop thinking about how good it would feel to STRANGLE THE MAN RIGHT THERE.

It made him wonder what in the world they could use crups for, and what kind of mutant. He never was good at magical creatures, though Slade's library was quite informative.
Jade then turned her attention to the other two men. "Hello, Mr. Erikson. Nice to meet you. I'm Jade Gemstone, one of the Reminiciators of the department and a--" She glanced over at Derek who did not look very happy, "friend of Derek's." Seeing as she knew that Derek was one to introduce himself or talk, she figured that talking about the mutant x case was a safe topic sort of. "I and Derek have been involved with the mutant x case since its beginning almost. Sadly, mutant x ruined the lab here at A&C and so far we haven't had much clues into who might have set the creature free on the lab or who would have done it because it is very clear that the creature didn't end up there on his own."

"Ms. Gemstone, a sincere pleasure to meet you." He gave her a charming smile, though turned serious as she talked about mutant x. "Where did mutant x come from in the first place? I mean, was it brought in by someone in the Ministry then set free, or did it just show up here one day?"
