Elizabeth looked at the man who walked into the break room, "Good morning." She smiled, "Yes." She laughed, "After a week relaxing in Spain, I'm ready to buckle down and go back to work especially since the strike is finally over. What about you?" She stirred her tea.

Nicole smiled and said, "So has everyone got there things for Hogwarts yet?"

Harland's eyebrows raised very slightly at the mention of Spain. Oh, if only he had had the luxury. He chuckled slightly at Elizabeth's question, but shook his head, making his dark hair fall even more messy than it had been. 'Clean-cut' wasn't exactly in Harland's vocabulary. "Actually, no, I could have done with some more vacation. If it weren't for Gina, I might have just taken it," he said with a nod. That was mostly true. He cared about helping Gina however he could, but he also wanted to see... someone else.

"Yes thank goodness." Elizabeth laughed, "What about you?"

"Hmmm maybe you can get some vacation in a few months then." Elizabeth smiled.

Well. This conversation was certainly stimulating. Oooookay then. This whole girl talk thing wasn't really his cup of tea. "Yes, well, enjoy your first day back, ladies," he said with a slight nod and small smile as he picked up his mug and walked out of the room to find So--- to go to his desk for work.

Elizabeth nodded a bye and went back to her conversation with Nicole.

sorry Dee-Dee didn't see your post
 

"Thank you, we will." Nicole said with a smile.


Nicole laughed and said, "Yes Kathren is done. She was going to try to reuse some of her things for her second year, I told her no, but I think she is anyways." Nicole sighed a little and looked down at the table.

"Thats good that she is done." She laughed, "REuse her first year things? You can't reuse very many." She smiled.

"Yeah I know. She is thinking like books she might need and some unused Quill- which I can kinda understand if they were never used." Nicole said.

"Yeah," Nicole smile and laugh.

Elizabeth smiled, "Time flys so fast." She laughed, "I should get started on work, want to meet up for lunch?" Elizabeth got up and washed her cup.

Nicole smiled and said, "Yeah where at?"

"Would the cafe across the street work for you?" ELizabeth asked as she dried and put away the cup.

"Yes that would be wonderful," Nicole said with a smile on her face.

"Good." Elizabeth smiled, "See ya then." On that note Elizabeth left the break room and entered the cubicle area.

Nicole smiled and waved at Elizabeth as she left and Nicole sat to drink the rest of her coffee.

Corrina walked into the break room, made a cup of coffee, then sat down at an empty table. She looked around for anyone she knew. Nobody. Even though she'd been at the ministry for a while, she hadn't been very social. Corrina drank her coffee slowly in deep thought. She didn't know everyone because of her shyness, it was hard to talk to people since she hadn't had many people to talk with as a child. ''if only I wasn't so shy'' Corrina thought with a sigh ''then I would be more social with everyon.''

Elizabeth walked into the break room without her ministry robes. She was in a grey knee-length dress and some heels. Her hair was down which was unusual for her. Elizabeth went and made a cup of tea. While she was waiting on her tea, she noticed a lady sitting down, "Good Afternoon." She smiled at the lady.

Peering his head into the breakroom, Gavin checked to see if anyone was in there. Sighing he wasn't sure where all the employees had gone off to. Maybe they'd seen the notice and just headed down to the food court... Well he had a ton of coupons still to hand out and just couldn't find anyone. Heading for the refrigerator, he opened it and took out a bottle of water he'd put in there. Standing near it he looked around, unsure of where to head now.

Lola found her way to the break room. She was dying for a cup of tea, actually maybe coffee? No, definately tea, she decided. Humming to herself, she hardly noticed that there was anyone else in the room. She poured the kettle, liking to do things the muggle way, and added sugar and tea leaves, turned around to take a seat and nearly dropped the tea when she realised she wasn't alone! "Oh, um. Sorry! Didn't see you there.."

Looking up just as he'd gotten himself another cup of coffee, Gavin saw Lola come in and was just heading for a seat at a table when she noticed him. Smiling gently "Sorry I have a habit of being a bit too quiet." Kat got irritated at times with him about that, scaring her out of her wits when he came up unawares. "How are you Lola?" he asked taking the seat across from her, and sipping his coffee.

How was she? Tired? Happy? Bored? Hyper? "Alright thanks, you?" she probably shouldn't have put two sugars in her tea, since now she was actailly really hyper. She wanted to jump on the sofa. Really, honestly. She shouldn't be around people. She noticed Gavin had coffee. "Damn, now I want coffee..." why did she have to be so indecisive?
