Caroline walked in to the working area ready to get to work. She walked over to her desk and looked around, not that many people...Where was everybody...Odd... She looked over at the pictures on her desk, one was of her and her sister and the other was her and her 9 other sibilings and her parents...She would have to visit them soon, she hadnt talked to them in ages. Sighing, she looked around once more...Did she know anybody in here? |

"Hi there," Hadley said, seeing this woman looking around. |

Hadley smiled, "Hi Caro, I'm Hadley. Just Hadley," she said, and had a little laugh. "What is your position here?" she asked out of curiosity. |

Well, Hadley didn't know much about her job, either. "I'm a Spirit Support Officer," she said, "I don't really know much about my role either, seeing as I haven't yet had a Spirit needing assistance with anything, but I'm writing a book on Spirit Psychology, basically how to communicate with them," Hadley explained. She had initially taken the position as a way of working with Spirits and using her experiences to help with her book, which had been in the making for a few months. So far, though, she wasn't having luck. |

"Yes, ghosts. Mainly the ones that just need a bit of guidance, but I've not had much to do with them yet. I suppose they don't really need my help," she said, and shrugged. Oh, her book? "Nowhere near finished, unfortunately. But I'm slowly getting there, it's been good working here where I can have first-hand experience at things." After taking a big sip from her mug she said, "So have you worked in the Ministry long?" |
Quote:
She strteched her arms and said Oh that sucks, but Im sure you can finish it! She forgot about her coffee but when Hadley took a sip of hers, Caroline remembered, she took a big swig of hers and thought how long has it been. She said Um, maybe a year I think, what about you? |
Quote:
"I will finish it, I'm determined. Even if I have to go to Hogwarts again to speak to the house ghosts and Peeves," she said and laughed. "Did you go to Hogwarts, too?" |
Quote:
Its so good that you are so determined! Thinking of when she had to leave Hogwarts she said Yes, but only for my first year sadly, I was in Ravenclaw what about you? She had hated her parents for making them go to Italy but without the school she would never have met her husband... |

Hadley laughed, "Well determination is the only thing getting me through this book. I certainly don't have any motivation for it, that's for sure," she said. |
*waves* ^__^ Atticus just needed to get out of his office. If he sat there and sorted through all those papers any longer, he was certain he would go mad. Besides, he really ought to check up on his employees, if only to say hello and make sure nothing was wrong. He could probably do with a snack too, so he'd head for the break room as well. So after setting his papers off to the side of his desk to look at later, he got up, left his office, and headed for the work area. Merlin, it felt so nice to walk around and see people. Though it wasn't quite as nice as it would be if there were some creatures around as well, it was still refreshing to see something besides the inside of his office and a bunch of papers and books. Spotting a couple of his employees, Atticus walked over to them, smiling as he approached. "Good day, Ms. Willowgrass, Ms. Nightingale," he said. "I trust you are both doing well?" |

"Hello Mr. Aldredge, I'm doing well. Trying to find resources for this book I'm writing," she said, closing the cover of it. It hadn't exactly gone as she planned but she was slowly getting there. She just lacked the correspondence with the spirits to help her gain information. "And how are you?" she asked, out of interest. Quote:
Hadley listened to her talk about her old school, "Oh, wow, was it good there?" she asked. Of course it would have been good, it was a Wiarding and Witchcraft school, but she wasn't sure anywhere would be as good as Hogwarts. |
"Please, just Atticus is fine," he replied, not for the first time - and probably not the last - but still kept a patient smile on his face. He'd say it as many times as it took until they all just called him by his first name. It was better than feeling like he was like his dad when people called him Mr. Aldredge. "And I am doing quite well too, thank you." Then he heard Hadley mention she was writing a book. That was interesting. "What's your book about?" He was certainly intrigued. If only he was clever enough to write a book...not that he'd read it, of course, and he wasn't sure anyone else would either. So perhaps it was a good thing he couldn't write one. |
Quote:
"Oh, my book. It's called Communicating with Spirits. I'm trying to write a Psychology textbook to assist people with communicating with the spirits they encounter, although I'm not sure if I will have a part in there about poltergeists or not," she said, nodding at her own words. She was very interested in the book but was unsure what other people may have thought. She wanted to finish it so that she could look at getting it published to help people, either for study or personal reasons. "So far I only have limited contact with spirits so my information isn't as widely spread as I would have liked, but I've been able to write a decent portion of a few chapters so far," she added. She just needed more spirits to come in so she could speak to them, but so far that had not happened. Well, she would be able to find spirits somehow, she was sure of it. |
Oh boy. My first day of work here at the ministry. I wonder what will happen. Hmm. Thomas thought. He had a lot of stuff on his mind because it was his first day of work here at the ministry. He was very happy were he was placed. Though he was put as a Junior Dragon Reseacher. He knew some stuff about dragons. He walked over to the nearest open cubicle. He got out some parchment and ink. He put three different sized quills neatly from tallest to smallest on his desk. Now what did he have to do? Just wait? |
SPOILER!!: Hadley, Atticus and The New Kid-Thomas Caroline started to laugh at Hadleys social statement. She too wasnt very high up int the social standards but managed to become a prefect. Thinking of her time at Mist she smiled Yes it was great there, its a lot like Hogwarts in fact the founders based it off of Hogwarts. One the founders is a ghost there! Caroline was a bit surprised at She looked over at the newbie over at his desk getting ready to work. She yelled over at him Hey new kid, why dont you come over here? |
Quote:
Hadley laughed as Caroline invited the new staff member over. She nodded and waved them over, too, because nobody should feel excluded. Hey, the boss was there talking with them so it was only fitting they come and join in too. |
Thomas looked up as someone invited him over somewhere. So he would take the offer. "Ok. I'll be over in a minute. Let me just unpack some other stuff that I might need." Thomas said to the person. He looked back into his pack, and pulled out his wand. It was engraved with a dragon head on the top. He was thinking about having the dragon head breathing fire for an engraving. He would have to do that sometime later like after work. He got up from his cubicle to see where he was being invited to because someone waved him over as well. Then he walked over to where they were. He looked at everyone and said "Hello I'm Thomas Jones. I'm so happy to become a new edition to this department." |

"Nice to meet you Caroline. I am a Junior Dragon Reasearcher. I was suprised when I was offered Junior Dragon Reasearcher, but I'm happy about it. I thought I would get something lower." Thomas replied to Caroline. He looked at her glancing at the other people. |

all of you <3 Atticus listened intently as Hadley explained more about her book, quickly becoming even more interested in it. He wasn't really one to read if he could help it, but when he did decide to pick up a book, it was usually about some kind of creature - whether beast, being, or spirit - and this certainly sounded like something he actually wouldn't mind reading. "Sounds very interesting," he said with a genuine smile. "I wish you the best of luck with it. If I can help with anything, let me know." He gave a polite nod to Caroline as she thanked him and then turned his attention to the person she was inviting over. Ah, one of his new employees. Atticus offered him a polite smile as he came over to their group. "And we're happy to have you here, Mr. Jones," he replied. It was always nice seeing others who were as excited to work with creatures as he was. "I'm Atticus Aldredge." He extended his hand. And then, as Caroline and Thomas conversed, another one Atticus recognized as a new employee approached them. She, too, appeared just as happy to be here. "It's a pleasure to have you here as well, Ms. Black," Atticus replied, extending a hand to her as well. "I'm Atticus Aldredge." |
