So, her excitement was justified.
Heels click-clacking against the spotless floor, Kat made her way over to the queue and waited for her turn. She couldn't help but smile at the people in the line - they could be her colleagues! And maybe even future friends. Time passed by quick and soon it was her turn. With a slight nod of her head at the security office, the girl jotted down her name and department in a clean, cursive handwriting.
She handed over the clipboard and pulled out her wand from a gold clutch. "Here you go, sir." She presented him the wand somewhat hesitantly. Oh, come on, now. "12 inches, Birch, Abraxan feather." There you go. She flashed him a friendly smile before giving that thingy a once-over. "If you don't mind me asking, what do you call that thingamajig?" Stupid question? Probably.
In a quick glance between witches and wizards, Simon had allowed his gaze to wander out to the other areas, his curious and observant eyes seeing those he had already checked in. Looking back directly in front of him he spotted his next customer and noticed her dress first of all. Definantly first day...and just a little over the top. Not that he was going to say anything.
That was not his job.
His job was to simply weigh the wands and check them against the gathered information. "Thank you," Simon said accepting the offered wand. He nodded as the young woman told him about her wand, placing said wand through the machine to check it out. "A wand-weigher," he answered though honestly to him a weird name since it wasn't really weighing much. "Here you are though...all checked."
Another wand safely returned to owner.
SPOILER!!: Manolo

"No trouble," Simon assured him. "I simply had to make sure everything was as it should be." The YATI then removed the wand from machine, holding it out for the young man to take. "There you go. Have a good day."
SPOILER!!: Cade

And now it was time to move out of the way. Perhaps she'd catch up with Simon later. "Good luck. Try to stay out of trouble," she offered before moving past the check point.
At least the woman didn't think it the task was warranted on his behalf. Whatever bossman's reasonings were. Not he could have really protested it. He did however raise an eyebrow at the division head's words. Simon had honestly forgotten about the prize the Auror office had gained during the training. Perhaps it would be a nice outing once the hullaballuo of the reopened Ministry died down.
"Thank you," he replied with a nod. "I'll try not to," he added fighting back the urge to let out a chuckle. It would be a change in pace though.
"Next..."
SPOILER!!: Saul

Saul moved his gaze over to his trashed Unicycle."It'll be a lot of trouble lugging it around all day."Talking to people was so much simpler when he didn't have to look at them. "I'll come back and grab it before I head out." That was to much of a request was it? He sure hoped it wasn't.
He wanted to leave the unicycle there? Um...well there was no point in him carrying it around the orientation, especially broken. "I...supposed you can," Simon answered after a few moments paused. Hopefully no one would have a problem with it. "Just don't forget it," he added holding out his hands to take it so he could put it behind the desk and out of reach of people able to trip over the mangled object.
SPOILER!!: Amy

Maybe this is what happens when you go through a short period of heartbreak.
UGH. Yes. She just hadn't had a proper kiss in so long. That was it. But, there were a lot of other girls who went through heartbreak and, well, they weren't affected. So why did she have to be the one to be affected in such a horrible manner? Sweet Merlin, she was beautiful, not some sort of horrible goblin. She did not deserve this.
The queue moved forwards and Amy took a couple of tentative steps forward. No, she wasn't sick. Okay. Perfect. If she was sick she wouldn't be able to flip her hair or flirt with some hunky guys so... she refused to be sick. Right, and this was a meet and greet and some part of her, the side that was an angel in disguise, just knew that she had to meet some new people, men and women.
Once she reached the clipboards, the brunette took the quill up in her hands and started scribbling her name and department down. It wasn't a lot of information that she had to note down but, for some reason, she found her face relaxing a little too much and a glazed expression crossed her face.
...
And then, a couple of seconds later, the woman jumped slightly, her eyes widening in shock. What had just happened?! And why had that just happened? See, she wasn't flirting or staring into the depths of a beautiful man's eyes so there had to be some sort of weird explanation for all this. Amy looked down at the clipboard. Oh... all filled out. Had she really done that? Shrugging, she set the quill down. 'Least it was done now.
Amy looked up at the man and smirked. "Why hello there!" Not too bad looking, Mister. The woman, gladly, handed the man her wand. "There you go! It's 11 3/4 inches, chestnut with a dragon heartstring core."
A girl who appeared around his age was next in the queue, approaching the desk when it was her turn. She seemed to jump however in shock after signing in and Simon couldn't help wondering if something was wrong. "Are you okay miss?" he asked a touch concerned and as well as alert to what might happen.
The next minute she was smirking at him oddly and saying hello. "Um...hello." Okay Simon, relax, he berated himself and moved to handle her and her wand. He nodded his thanks as he accepted the offered wand and ran it through his wand-checker. "Right...all set," he said handing it back to her.
SPOILER!!: Tyler

"Hello, here for my first day at the Ministry" he said handing over his wand as he had seen many others do before him "12 and half inches Willow, with a core of Phoenix feather. Also sturdy" he said providing information about his wand as he looked around at the check point area before looking back at the person serving him. Soon he would be through and on his way to his department although he had heard there was a meeting area where he would be able to meet people from other departments as well as his own.
First impressions and appearances could sometimes be misleading. Such as someone believing an older man was a returning employee to the Ministry rather then a new one. However it was good that Simon hadn't made that assumption for the man's first words spoke of him just joining the ranks. "Well then welcome," he greeted as he took the offered wand from him. Putting it through, he watched the results come back, once more matching up quite smoothly.
"And you passed your first test," he replied in half-jest returning the polished wand. "Have a good day."
SPOILER!!: Evelyn

That took a lot less nerves out of her system to know that but it still itched under her skin at the thought of fingerprints. Taking her wand out from the wrist holster, she looked up to him, eyebrows raised from his question.
Only one eyebrow lowered as a smirk appeared on her lips. "Not trying to make the slip are you?" she asked, handing her 10 ⅓ inch stained ash wood with a basilisk fang core wand over to him. "Though really, I have no idea. He may or may not. I don't even know why I'm here."
"Funny..." Simon mused in half tease. No one said he had to be strict in his duties. He waited for her to offer her wand, not about to ask for it seeing as she was another he quite trusted. However she seemed as if hesitant about being so. "Ev...?" he questioned quietly before she finally handed it over, running the test while she answered his original question about Josh.
"No...though Josh was hinted as my possible relief and I'd rather not stay right here all day." Even patroling you had some movement unless it was an absolute stake-out but even then you switched up. "To see me of course..." he said to lighten the tension. "Your wand description?"
SPOILER!!: Kyle

Taking a piece of paper she wrote down her nametag.
Simon absently looked over at the sign in sheet to see who might be his next customer only to see two familar names though not exactly expecting them together much. Kyle...Tanner?! She had switched it over? Looking back up in front of him the YATI came face to face with his friend and ex. He froze unsure of what to say or do given their last real interaction though he had to admit she certainly looked better this time around.
"Um...hey," he finally said, things being a little strange between them.

Sky made her way into the orientation area. It was a long line but Sky was way to far back to say hello to the bossman, by the time she got to the front it was the YATI Simon that was now doing that. "Hello, Simon. She said as she handed over her wand as she had seen many others do before her.
Taking a piece of paper she wrote down her name.

Great job, Bennett...real nice.
Oh my god. She had tried to eat him the last time she had seen him. Gosh that would not be good. She would not want to have to feel the regret and remorse about eating a person she cared about. That wasn't good.
No eating friends. Exes. Or anyone.
That was her rule.
"H-um, hey..." she fumbled with the edge of her skirt. "Ugh sorry i tried to eat you?" She whispered quietly. "It was lack of sleep im sure of it...I got checked out and nothing came across when I went to mungos so I'm right as rain" she smiled.
Yeah but why then did she not feel like her old self? Pre-what-ever-that-was-self? Oh maybe because she was face to face with someone whom she had tried to eat's face off. And no his face it didn't look tasty...not now. She fumbled with her wand and put it down on the table not sure what to do.
"er...should...I um tell you the wand type? Of course silly. Its new - old one kind of broke...its 11 1/2 inches long white oak with a red oak handle and its got a unicorn hair core" she smiled. Ironic. Her patronus was a unicorn.

"This one yours? 11¼ inches Cherry and Phoenix Feather?"
Melissa took the wand from Mr. Ferguson. "Yes it is sir. This is mine and thank you for returning it more polished and shinier." Melissa smiled her thanks before holstering her wand back into her leg holster and making her way to the hall.
The next person was certainly pleased to be here. And unless Simon was extremely mistaken, a returning employee he might have seen around the ministry's hallowed halls sometime in his few years here. "Good day," he greeted the woman as she signed the clipboard and greeted him. Accepting her wand and putting it through as he listened, Simon shook his head at her question. "Nope that is all. And your all set," he said turning back to her, her wand in his hand for her to take back.
Retrieving her wand from the younger man's hand Tasha deposited it back into its holster with a beam. "Thank you. I wish you a good day!" Turning on her heel the blond left the security check-point and headed towards the Greeting area. Hopefully her sister was there or some other familiar faces from her department.

Security Check Point. As usual, it was the same as Scotland. London can't be an exemption. Once Ivee arrived, she handed her wand at the guy assigned. She wrote down the needed information in a piece of parchment then handed it to the dude.
"10 3/4, Thestral Hair, Hawthorn," Ivee said. That was her wand, alright.

How lucky for Josh then, if he showed up. She may have to return in the next hour to see if he arrived and got stuck here. Would give her an excuse not to mingle anyways. "You caught me." Evelyn nodded slowly, all smiles though eyeing the machine like a hawk. "Only came here to see my other favorite Gryffindor."
Oh, wand description. "Um, ten and a third inches, ash wood, and a basilisk fang core." She was surprised the machine couldn't figure it out, what with all it's...weirdness. "Simon, if Josh does show up and you're off duty, you'll come tell me, right?"

With a healthy looking tan to his already handsome features, Aron stood in line and waited for his turn to have his wand weighed and all that jazz. Yeah, he was a little later than he had intended...but he often lost track of the time with Seren came to visit and stay for the weekend. Heh.
Stepping up to the clipboard, Aron tugged on his necktie to loosen it up a bit - he hated being in such a stuffy situation. Hence why he was still in jeans despite this being a more formal setting. Hey, he HAD worn a suit jacket, dress shirt, and vest. He was a few steps away from his usual t-shirt and jeans look he wore to the office.
And next was this whole wand weighing thing. "Bennett," he said with a nod and a smirk. Poor kid. Looked like the Head Cabbage had ducked out of running security and passed it on to the saplings. Smart move. Aron would have done it as well. "13.5" Yew, Dragon Heartstring."

The queue eventually gave way to another MLEr, SImon reconizing the hitwizard that stepped up lext in line. "Hello Sky," he returned her greeting with a polite smile, accepting the wand from her with a "Thank you." Running it through the machine, he looked back at his co-worker as he awaited results.
"Describe your wand please."

Simon was sure to anyone watching the two of them, including those online behind Kyle, would have found them entertaining. Two friends being all thumbs at the meer sight of each other even though they had known each other for at least 4 years.
"Its okay," he assured her. The YATI certainly didn't think anything that happened was truly her fault. He nodded as she went on, a smile gracing his face as he rebooted his movementts glad to see things had checked out. "Thats good to hear. I'm glad you're feeling better." I was worried...terrified and extremely concerned more like it but Simon didn't want her to feel more self-conscious then she already seemed to be about the whole ordeal.
Right...wand weighing.
Simon was brought back to the task at hand as Kyle placed her wand down between them, the former Gryffindor reaching to pick it up. "Ye-" he started to answer as he placed the wand in the machine before the scribe replied for herself, giving the required information. "Then it matches perfectly." Not that he would have doubted it. Simon released it from the weigher and reached over to hand it back to her. "Here you go."

"Next..." Simon said calling up the next in line as he motioned them further. He was greeted by a quiet woman who handed him her wand without question and filled in her information, only speaking afterwards and only the information on her wand. Right...simple. The YATI moved and put her wand through the machine, waiting a moment as the results came back and nodding as they matched up with what he was being told.
"Right...there you are," Simon said returning her wand to her. "Have a good day."

"I feel special," he mused with a grin of his own. Which he was in a way seeing as Evelyn Flores did not get close to many people and the fact that he was a Gryffindor made it even more so. Simon noted her solid attention on the wand-weigher but he didn't let himself think too oddly about it. As expected, the read-out matched what his friend was saying and he retrieved the wand from inside.
"Of course," he said handing it over to her. "Can't let him escape notice. You're all set."

Another staffer from within his department came up on the line, though from the other main office like Cade. The herbology expert if he wasn't mistaken though it wasn't as if they had much interaction. At least less then the previous woman. "Good day," Simon greeted as the man gave a simple reply of his last name. The man however gave him the description of his wand without actually handing it over.
"Wand please," he instructed holding out his own upturned palm ready to accept the offering so he could run the check.

It appeared Wes had still been helping someone when he switched the duty to him to handle. "Sorry. I'll be handling the wand-weighing from now on," Simon said accepting the wand she had meant for his boss. He nodded at her description, repeating it over in his head as he put the wand through the machine. Sure enough, the descriptions matched and everything was a-ok. "Eleven inches, Hawthorne with a Dragon Heartstring core. There you are," Simon said handing it back to her newly-polished. There was a benefit to the check.
"Oh. Okay.." Annalise smiled warmly at the man as she accepted the wand when he handed it to her. "Thank you so much!" She smiled, tossing her blonde hair back behind her shoulders. Everyone that she had met at the Ministry was so nice. It was great.

"Of course," he said handing it over to her. "Can't let him escape notice. You're all set."
So it did read what wands were and alas, she got hers back. "Thank you, Simon." Re-holstering it, she took a few steps forward past him before pausing, not really caring if the other people had to wait even longer. They'll get over it. "Does Mr. Auror want a drink or anything? I'm sure I can sneak something over."
He was underdressed. That was pretty clear. He'd only just arrived but he'd already seen that most of the other men were wearing suits. Definitely underdressed. Which made him a little self conscious. But Dexter was rarely self conscious. So this was strange for him.
Nevertheless, he continued forward hopping onto the security check in line behind a man in jeans and a vest and rather nice shoes. His own sneakers squeaked on the floor as he edged forward in the line eventually arriving at the front.
He gave a short nod to the young man who was weighing the wands and held out his own. Having overheard the man giving directions to the others he raised an eyebrow. "I hafta tell yer the specifics, yeah?"
And what was this about a clipboard?

Kyleigh smiled over to Simon - it was a little bit cheerier than her previous one at least. "Thank you Simon" she smiled over to him.
"Ugh i'm - i'll see you around then?" She smiled and retrieving her wand she brushed her hand through her hair quickly before saying another goodbye. As she left the check in area something seemed to change.
Her eyes were dry - sure, they had been for a long, long while. Still now they suddenly looked a little bloodshot - but that was just because she hadn't blinked enough at all.

Fashionably late. At least, that's what Roxanne would call it if anyone mentioned her walking into this whole orientation thing an hour after it had started. She was fashionably late, nothing more, nothing less. She had considered skipping the event altogether, since, after three years, she could hardly be called new and therefore didn't really need an introduction to the Ministry. But, curiosity about the new members of the MLE had won out and she had forced herself into her work clothes and made her way down here........
........only to meet a security check point. Ugh. If she was completely honest with herself, she could see the need for it. After all, it would be the perfect time for someone to pull something. But right now, with the whole 'not really wanting to be here' attitude, it was irritating. She kept this little thought to herself, though, and signed the little clipboard before presenting her wand to...... Simon the YETI? "Training?" she asked, smirking a little. Yeah, that had to be it. Otherwise, one of the security guys would do it, wouldn't they?
"10 3/4 inches, vine with unicorn hair core." Yep, that was her wand all right.

There he was again. Back to his working place. Derek did like the Ministry, despite some weird people. It was a nice and calm place - mostly. Well, not really, but he was able to work on his own most of the time, and he liked that.
The problem was this Employee Orientation thing they made up this time. Wasn't it enough that he had to face people every single day, and sometimes even work with them? Did he really have to go to this stupid Meet and Greet thing?
Urgh.
Derek wasn't in his best mood when he approached the check point.

He pulled out his wand and handed it to the MLE person in front of him. "Hornbeam, phoenix feather, 12 3/4 inches." Derek said simply, without looking directly at the man.

First impressions and appearances could sometimes be misleading. Such as someone believing an older man was a returning employee to the Ministry rather then a new one. However it was good that Simon hadn't made that assumption for the man's first words spoke of him just joining the ranks. "Well then welcome," he greeted as he took the offered wand from him. Putting it through, he watched the results come back, once more matching up quite smoothly.
"And you passed your first test," he replied in half-jest returning the polished wand. "Have a good day."
Tyler smiled as the man welcomed him "Thank you, I am sure we will be seeing each other around" since some departments worked together sometimes. He then stood there as the man did the necessary checks on his wand, as much as he found this a little tedious he knew it was necessary. Didn't want people just turning up and walking through the door like it happened in muggle law enforcement. "Thank you, well that was an easy test to pass. Lets hope other tests are easy too" he chuckled jokingly as he gave the man a nod "You have a good day too" he said walking off into the Ministry where he would now be working for who knows how long!

"Wand please," he instructed holding out his own upturned palm ready to accept the offering so he could run the check.
Handing over his wand to the young man, Aron ran his hand through his hair and looked around the area again. He had received a memo from Wes earlier telling him that he would be receiving an intern this time around and the Herbologist was rather curious as to what the bloke would be like.
Hum de dum de dum...he hoped there was gravy....

Truth be told, Konrad didn't want to be there.
Well, at least not at first, when he'd heard about this employee orientation thing. But then, at a second thought... why not? Maybe he could find some new employees to help, of even become a guide. Wouldn't that be fun?
But, as soon as he got there, he noticed they were checking wands. Ugh. He hated waiting. Still, he signed in his name and department, and handed his wand when it was finally his turn. "Hello".

"Describe your wand please."
Sky smiled from her pure blondness she had forgot to give the description when she handed him the wand. Oh well, seemed like most people did. She said "Ebony, 11 and 1/2 inches with dragon heartstring core." She fixed a curl that was in front of her face sometimes she hated her curly or semi-curly hair.

Demi walked and scanned her surroundings, she had waited for this moment for as long as she could remember. Yet, it still felt like if it was her first day at school. She shrugged off any nervous feeling and did what she did best and poshly walked up to get her name tag and to get her wand weighed.
She then went ahead to get her wand weighed. 10 3/4 cherrywood and phoenix feather core. Demi was quite excited, not exactly pin pointing the reason. Point is the young woman, was filled with excitement.

Orientation. That was new, seeing as Dorian remembered his first day here at the Ministry. Namely, he'd essentially just been told where to go and then set to work. There hadn't been any meet and greets, or whatever else had been planned out for the day, but he was trying to be more social as of late. As Natasha could attest to, and honestly, he was wondering if she'd be there so he could ask if her new inkwell was cooperating. He figured Wes was around, if not running security, which meant possibly Isobel wouldn't. He couldn't say what the arrangement was there, but if Isobel's sister was there, he'd at least have someone to talk to that wasn't MLE and he was at least familiar with. But first was going through the normal protocol, which meant security. Since he hadn't been drafted to help this time around, which was why he was fractionally dressed nicer than usual.
Working his way to the checkpoint, he gave Simon a wry smile. "Wes leave you to the menial tasks?," he asked, picking up the clipboard and signing in.

Once he'd set that down again, he slid his personal wand out of its holster and handed it over. "Ebony, 15 inches, core of phoenix feather, inflexible," he responded out of habit, before leaning forward slightly to speak in a lower voice. "Just the primary, or do you need to check in backups as well?" he still had his secondary wand as well, of course, back from the cult takedown, and he'd slipped the license into his pants pocket just in case. One never knew when he'd need the wand, after all, and he wasn't going to relax too much even if most of the large cases were closed for the time being.

Of course she was excited to come to the orientation. Though she was kinda late. But Victoria didn't not know why there was a security check point. Was it because of the weird sickness that spread among some of the employees before the vacation. Victoria hoped it was a routine procedure. And anyway that was safer. No need for wands now. hopefully.
As the blonde got in line. She waited until a couple of employees handed their wands until it was her turn. "Good day," She said with a smile then reached for a clipboard.
Quote:
Name: Victoria Smith. Department: Minister's office. Secretary.
And because she saw everyone doing so she handed her wand over. Did they have to give their wand's descriptions?

Penny nervously entered the security area. She had not had a job in quite a long time, due to personal reasons, so this whole process was outside Penny's comfort zone. Still, she held herself in the manner she usually did: proper and serious.
Glancing at the other employee's in the room, Penny gathered that she was required to fill out a paper with her name and department. In writing that quite closely resembled typed print, Penny wrote her name:
Iridesca clicked into the Security Checkpoint...these things always made her so nervous and, eventhough, she understood why they needed them...at the same time she didn't get it...
She grabbed a piece of paper and grabbed a blue pen out of her bag and quickly scribbled down her information:
Quote:
Name: Iridesca MacMillan
Department: Minister of Magic's Office, Special Events
She shook her head up and down and fell into line to get her wand weighed. As she waited, she flicked her wrist and her wand instantly appeared in her hand. She pulled it up and looked at it always impressed by the soft blue hue to it.
She smiled at the man taking wands and handed him her wand.

SPOILER!!: Annalise and Evelyn[QUOTE=HazelStone101;11239388
"Oh. Okay.." Annalise smiled warmly at the man as she accepted the wand when he handed it to her. "Thank you so much!" She smiled, tossing her blonde hair back behind her shoulders. Everyone that she had met at the Ministry was so nice. It was great.[/QUOTE]

I'm sure I can sneak something over."
Smirk.
Yes?
"You're welcome," he returned first to the stranger and then to Evelyn as they both thanked him. Simon thought his friend was leaving when she stopped and turned back to him. "Nah I think Mr. Auror is okay," he answered using the title she had given him. Mr. Almost-Auror in all truth since he still had half a year of training to go. "But thank you anyway."
SPOILER!!: Dexter

Nevertheless, he continued forward hopping onto the security check in line behind a man in jeans and a vest and rather nice shoes. His own sneakers squeaked on the floor as he edged forward in the line eventually arriving at the front.
He gave a short nod to the young man who was weighing the wands and held out his own. Having overheard the man giving directions to the others he raised an eyebrow. "I hafta tell yer the specifics, yeah?"
And what was this about a clipboard?
The next was certainly knew, an observance of the man showed that. If not by the chosen code of dress then by the way he seemed unsure of himself in his surroundings. Simon was about to ask him for his wand but he was already handing it over. "Thank you," he said acceptingt the offered wand and nodding as he slipped it within the wand-weigher. "Yes, I need to compare what you say with what scanner shows." Simple enough concept.
SPOILER!!: Kyle

"Ugh i'm - i'll see you around then?" She smiled and retrieving her wand she brushed her hand through her hair quickly before saying another goodbye. As she left the check in area something seemed to change.
Her eyes were dry - sure, they had been for a long, long while. Still now they suddenly looked a little bloodshot - but that was just because she hadn't blinked enough at all.
Simon's own smile brightened as Kyle smiled at him. The YATI not only glad that she was better but that they seemed to be on better terms then they were when they had started the conversation. "You're welcome." He nodded at her words about seeing each other. That was something he still looked forward to...when she wasn't trying to attack him anyway. "Yeah, of course."
Sigh...darn task now keeping him from mingling with his friend. If only Evelyn had come after, he might have asked the former Slytherin to be mindful of the Ravenclaw. Simon still worried after all, however needlessly.
SPOILER!!: Roxanne

She was fashionably late, nothing more, nothing less. She had considered skipping the event altogether, since, after three years, she could hardly be called new and therefore didn't really need an introduction to the Ministry. But, curiosity about the new members of the MLE had won out and she had forced herself into her work clothes and made her way down here........
........only to meet a security check point. Ugh. If she was completely honest with herself, she could see the need for it. After all, it would be the perfect time for someone to pull something. But right now, with the whole 'not really wanting to be here' attitude, it was irritating. She kept this little thought to herself, though, and signed the little clipboard before presenting her wand to...... Simon the YETI? "Training?" she asked, smirking a little. Yeah, that had to be it. Otherwise, one of the security guys would do it, wouldn't they?
"10 3/4 inches, vine with unicorn hair core." Yep, that was her wand all right.
As Simon was greeted with the next from the queue he came face to face with one of the wizengamot workers. Her one-word question was exactly bothersome for it could be seen as truth but the smirk added a touch of bothersome teasing as if making fun of him. "Working..." he said simply accepting her wand and listening to her description as the wand-weigher scanned the details.
"All set," he replied handing it back to her newly polished.
SPOILER!!: Derek

The problem was this Employee Orientation thing they made up this time. Wasn't it enough that he had to face people every single day, and sometimes even work with them? Did he really have to go to this stupid Meet and Greet thing?
Urgh.
Derek wasn't in his best mood when he approached the check point.
He pulled out his wand and handed it to the MLE person in front of him. "Hornbeam, phoenix feather, 12 3/4 inches." Derek said simply, without looking directly at the man.
And here he was thinking he might not have to deal with any troublesome people. However the next man wasn't the politest in the room, not even looking at him as he handed his wand in and spoke of its qualities. No bother, he was just a nameless worker doing a simple task after all. Simon put the wand through its paces, nodding as the results came out fine.
"You're fine," he remarked simply, holding it out for the man to take back.
SPOILER!!: Aron

Hum de dum de dum...he hoped there was gravy....
This time around the man did as he was supposed to, handing Simon his wand who then put it throught he machine. Sure enough, one more level twoer passed with flying colors. "13.5" Yew, Dragon Heartstring," he said echoing the man's earlier rusitation with a nod. One more down, he mused to himself handing back the wand. "Have a good day."
SPOILER!!: Konrad

But, as soon as he got there, he noticed they were checking wands. Ugh. He hated waiting. Still, he signed in his name and department, and handed his wand when it was finally his turn. "Hello".
Simon waved on the next member in queue, waiting patiently as the older man moved up to him and signed in on the clipboard. The motions of each person was becoming repetative so he had given up watching and simple stood there. "Hello sir," he said returning the greeting. The YATI accepting the turned in wand and setting his task in motion. "Please describe your wand."
SPOILER!!: Sky

As Sky gave him the information he requested, Simon glanced between her and the wand-weigher under his charge. The results matched what he was given and so he simply retrieved the wand and returned it to its rightful owner. "There you are. Have a good day."
SPOILER!!: Demitra

"Next..."
Simon's voice called up the next ministry employee to the desk. Was it him or was the young woman one of the newbies? He had been testing out his observation skills to make the job less boring and it certainly seemed that way. "Good day," he greeted with a polite smile, glancing at the clipboard. Ah yes...certainly a new employee seeing as she was Level two and he was sure he had never seen her around before.
"Welcome to the MLE then," he added before holding out his hand. "May I please have your wand and then describe its characteristics for me."
SPOILER!!: Dorian

Another familiar face, this time in the form of the CMEC head who offered him a smile. at least the higher ups in the department didn't make him seem like he was degraded just be being in the job he was currently which was a plus. Not that he was one to be prideful, just didn't like things rubbed in his face. "It would appear that way," he answered Dorian as the man signed in, adding his name to all the rest. "Thank you," Simon said accepting the wand, the YATI moving to scan the item. He nodded as description matched screen and handed the wand back to the older gentleman.
Now for the curveball...the unexpected. Was Wes watching to see if he made a mistake? "Perhaps I should. Just to make sure in case I get tested on it." Surely the division head would understand.

With Dorian finished and away, Simon was on to the next employee in line. "Good day," he echoed accepting her wand with a nod of thanks. How many this made he did not know but he did think on whether or not Josh was coming. Putting the wand through the machine, the former Gryffindor turned back to the woman. "Please describe your wand for me."

Penny wondered what else she needed to complete at security, and vaguely wished she had gotten specific instructions on the matter.
His next customer was clearly a tad nervous even as she tried to hide it. "Good day," Simon spoke, offering what he hoped was a small reassuring smile. It was a simple proceedure, certainly nothing to be worried about. The only reason one would need to worry was if they were doing something wrong and he'd be careful if it came to that. "May I please have your wand to check," he instructed once she was signed in, his hand raised with upturned palm to accept it. "And then tell me its characteristics."

Simon waved the next person in the queue on up to the table, waiting as she filled out the sign-in information. While the blue hair didn't cause a reaction, the fact that she not only took out her own writing utensil but a muggle one at that did. To each their own, he guessed, switching his attention to the wand that was being given over to him. "Thank you," The YATI said running it through the checker.
