Poppy spotted a man carrying a cane from far away and kept her eyes on him until he reached the Golden Gates. His head was down the entire time, so Poppy took it upon herself to teach him a lesson. That lesson being that when you constantly look down you miss what is in front of you, and what is in front of you could be a magnificent, beautiful, and fabulous visage who would get offended by people who did not look at her. So, she crept up behind him and shouted "WELCOME!! to the Ministry of Magic!" After giggling uncontrollably, like only Poppy would, she posed ready to be seen.

SON OF A BILLYWIG! Harvey yelped as he dropped his box of things (yet again). He turned around and was about to pull his wand from his cane to cast a hex on the person who scared him half to death. but he couldn't do it, a Lady stood behind him. So to quickly cover up for him about to pull his wand on her, he turned, puled his wand from his cane, and cast a summoning charm on the things that fell out of the box and placed them back into it.

Returning his wand to his cane he turned back to the lady behind him Do, you have to greet people like that? Harvey asked jokingly. He turned back around just as quick as he realized he just gave her a full view of who he was, Don't give yourself away to easily you damn idiot!

Annabeth walked through the Golden Gates, grinning, she was so excited about her new job!

"Oh, you grumpy head!" Poppy scoffed as she helped the man regain his posture. "There, there." She patted him on the head and giggled. He was so funny looking with his cane. "No need to get as feisty and riled up!" She said as the man took out his wand and summoned his items back. Good thing he did because there was no way she was picking them up. She then returned to her desk, picked up one of the dancing stickers and instead of putting it on the man she stuck it to the cane. There, now it looked all pretty with Poppy's milling galleon smile on in. "Ta-da! Your hideous cane has been beautified!" She said batting her eyelashes. She didn't have to welcome him again, right? She would only be wasting breath, plus the first one seemed to do the job. "Do you need any assistance?" Please goodness say no.

Two more people were now entering through the Gates, so Poppy gave the man the "1 Minute" finger and waved at the new comers. "Hello, dearies!" She gave them each a sticker and tossing her arms wide she shouted: "WELCOME TO THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC!" She gave them a beautiful, stunning, and gorgeous welcoming smile and giggled. "Anything you need please feel free to ask!" NOT ME! She wanted to add but forced herself not to. This was a fairly easy task so if she had to be doing something he would rather do this.

This lady was certainly a touchy feely one. Harvey was not happy with this greeting at all and he showed it, and had she just called his cane hideous!

His cane was not hideous it was a beautifully crafted cane made from the same wood of his wand to fit said wand snugly inside it. To top it off he had his patronus animal, the broom rabbit placed at the top of his wand to give his cane character when it was hidden! His Cane was elegant and fit only for someone as elegant and charming as Him! IT WAS NOT HIDEOUS!

Although the silly sticker she put on it made it look funny, Harvey laughed as he looked at it. BUT HE WASN'T GOING TO LEAVE IT ON.

I am fine, thank you. If you could just point me in the direction of the Security Checkpoint. I'll be on my way.

Annabeth smiled back, "Thanks," she said, not trying to be rude.

Did she look like a front desk attendant or something? She offered help just to be polite but these people were only taking advantage of her sweetness! Or maybe they just needed the excuse to look at her some more, that was understandable. She shrugged, "Somewhere.... that way." She motioned towards the lifts. She didn't know where anything was yet, she had just recently begun working here, too, and she had skipped the Security Checkpoint.

Now, if he could just leave so she could reapply a few more pounds of make up to her face, that would be nice. "Okay, bye!" She said and giggled before she turned her back on the man. Oh! One thing before he left. She flicked her wand at her stickers and a dozen of them flew towards the man's cane and covered it completely. "YOU'RE WELCOME!" She shouted (she was only two yards away from him) as she waved him good-bye.

Never posted here before, so here i go now! :3
 

Excited first time to the ministry and trying to make friends
 

Rebecca looked around to see anybody she knew was here but there was no one she knew she did see a friendly looking girl beside at the golden gates and she decided to say hi ''Hi my names Rebecca what's yours'' that was the way Rebecca started conversation very poor way to do so well she thought anyway

Annabeth looked around to see a girl next to her, "Hi, my name is Annabeth, nice to meet you Rebecca, so what job do you do then, I'm in Maintenece." she told her, Annabeth was so excited about her new job.

''I'm working for internation cooperation fifth floor can't wait to start'' said Rebecca ''So what are you doing exactly? I'm a Magical product tester'' Rebecca smiled''I wasn't expecting a very inportent job'' Rebecca didn't really mind that she was there to do some work not to have some competition to see who had the best job but she doubted Annabeth was like that

"I have to do maintenance jobs throughout the Ministry and respond to maintenance tasks given by the Magical Maintenance Supervisor, it sounds ok" Annabeth told her.

''I think thats nice enough'' said Rebecca ''I think I better go and see my department maybe we can meet up some other time'' said Rebecca ''Bye''

"Bye then, Rebecca, see you soon," Annabeth said.

Persephone stepped back into the Ministry for the first time in months. It was cleaner than she recalled, or perhaps she only remembered the dingy office space on her level. Perhaps the Atrium was always pristine and sparkling. She gently stroked her wand; that was the purpose for this visit. New procedures and her wand needed to be registered. It was silly, really, since she was previously employed, but she learned long ago not to question bureaucracy.

Ugh, people just kept pouring in, like rats in a sewer! Just when she had sat down to rest her little tush, another group approached the gates. "Hello, hello, little darlings!" Poppy said as she skipped on over to the new entrants. Twirl. Pose. "WELCOME TO THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC!" All of this welcoming was ruining her sweet and delicate voice. She rubbed her throat gently, then cleared it before she took two of her stickers and put one on each of the newcomers' foreheads. There, now they look pretty. She giggled. Ooh, they looked so cute, and gullible! She just had to play a prank on them. Clearing her throat a second time and adjusting her little pink bow tie she composed herself and with a very serious face began speaking. "I am sorry to inform that both of you are currently wanted by the Wizardry Law Enforcement! I hope you can accommodate to new environments easily, because your destination for the next twenty years will be Azkaban." She was pressing her lips together very tightly, trying very hard not to laugh as she waited for a response.

LOL. that was a good prank. xD
 

She had barely passed when someone with a rather excitable voice had greeted her and someone else whom had just come in. She smiled at the woman who was welcoming her in the ministry, when the very same woman placed a sticker on her forehead. Was this a custom here, or just.....no, she's prolly just pulling her leg. No one else was wearing stickers on their foreheads, she noticed, but she did not want to be rude to the woman who greeted her in. she still kept that smile on her face. "thank you." as for the greet.

and now what? She was wanted and to be sent to Azkaban? She thought back, with her smile twisting a bit to form a mischievous smirk, what troubles she had caused. Not a single one had crossed her mind enough to get her to Azkaban though, but this was a good joke. "Really? what troubles have i caused enough to bring me there?" she asked politely. "If so that i'll be brought there, may i keep this sticker on my head?" just to humor this amusing woman. She seemed nice though.

After the short walk from the long line of Floo fireplaces where he and hundreds of other Ministry workers and visitors were arriving for a new day at work, Armen walked towards the large ornate gates, to where the lifts were located.

He had been a bit sidetracked lately due to the whole on a break type argument he and Izzy had had in his office the other morning, being distracted in a large crowd was never good.

Isobel had been a little distracted recently. It was really bad, and she had a feeling that it was kind of showing in her work now. Which was bad. Hopefully she could get her mind from Armen and back onto her work. She looked up as she wandered toards the golden gates, hoping to not run into anyone before getting up to level two.

She glanced around, glad that she hadn't recognised anyone yet. Maybe that was bad too, because like she needed some more friends. Maybe that would get her mind off Armen. Just as she thought about that she felt herself brush past someone, and looked up. Oh. "Sorry...." She murmered, not being able to take her eyes from Armen. Awkward.

Armen's robes seemed to be caught on something and he he turned around quickly to see what was tugging on his sleeve when he came face to face with Isobel. Gulp. This wasn't happening, as if he didn't have enough to worry about.

He untwisted his sleeve from around her and the other witch who had pressed against them in trying to get by and just looked at her for a moment. "Umm sorry about that." he said awkwardly. What else was he supposed to say?

This was really awkward, and kind of made her feel sad at the same time. Isobel really did miss Armen, even though she was still annoyed at him for keeping things from her. But seeing him, really unexpectedly made her realise just how much she was missing him. Mmm. Maybe she should like excuse herself straight away, to stop this being awkward.

"It's okay..." She mused with a smile as she looked at him. What was she supposed to do now? She really didn't want to go, she had missed him. "How're you?" That was really awkward....very.

Armen wasn't sure what to do. He looked above her head at the number of people coming and going just to do something instead of stare at her like an idiot. Then she asked how he was. Well he was kind of depressed without her, work piled on, Cultist activities on top of that..."I'm doing ok. Busy as ever. You?"

He felt almost bad for asking how she was, obviously she was about as bad as he was feeling at the moment.
