The Office of Lourdes Black, Department Head Once Department Head Lourdes Black allows you to enter her office, you'll first notice the numerous picture frames with different photographs. There are photographs of her family, friends, and some of herself. Lourdes is a type of person who doesn't like to forget things, especially memorable events that took place in her life. Though at the far end of the room, the last picture frame holds a photograph of a man who seems to have aged from his late 20's to early 30's. No one knows who this man is, but surely Lourdes does since this was her office. The office plan looks more like that of a Muggle principal's office. In front of the mahogany table that serves as the Department Head's desk are chairs for visitors and Department employees. Take a seat if you want, once you've entered. On top of the desk is a bunch of documents and papers that Lourdes might be filling it right now, so it is best not to put on hands on them. There is also a fireplace at the left side of the room in case it gets chilly on Winter. On the other hand, the right side of the room holds large windows for the Department Head to watch the beautiful sunset during the afternoon. There is also a bookshelf with various genres of books for reference and entertainment purposes. The office looks simple and isn't anything so extravagant. Lourdes likes it that way. She wants it to be more like a cozy office that reminds you of home, at least in her point of view. Of course, her seat is comfy as a couch to make her feel even more comfortable during the office days. But, sometimes she'd be out of her office during special occasions. Please don't try to break in. She knows if you did, mind you. She may not have security surveillance but she did some spell work. If you think you need a word with Lourdes or simply just a friendly conversation, please don't hesitate to knock on the door. Lourdes does not bite the life out of anyone, that's for sure. But I'd suggest you to keep the chat to a minimum since Lourdes is a very busy woman considering that she is a Department Head. Lastly, please don't forget to introduce yourself. Lourdes doesn't really know most of you. OOC: If your character decides to visit Lourdes, it may take a while for me to reply to you. Timezones and real life just don't mix well together, yeah? I do try to answer as soon as possible but if I've missed your post, send me a PM/VM. Happy RP-ing! =) |
A purple paper airplane, complete with the emblem of the Ministry of Magic stamped along its sides, makes its ways through the lifts and corridors of the Ministry of Magic. Reaching its destination, the interdepartmental memo comes to rest in front of its intended recipient. When unfolded, it reads: Quote:

This was it, Ellis Recard had made it into the Department of Magical Games and Sports, and really how could he not? He was a beast at Quidditch and had a League Championship under his belt. The thirty year old, temporarily retired Keeper for the Tutshill Tornados strutted into the level seven offices as if he owned the place and found his way to the Department Head's office. |
*on phone* :3 Quote:
Now was her break time and she was spending it by relaxing in her office. Maybe to take some tea or read a book. Just to make it worth it. In a few minutes, she heard a knock on her office door. Interesting. Lourdes took her wand out and flicked it, sending the Alohomora charm at her door. Click. It was unlocked now and Lourdes was ready to talk to people. "Come in," she said. Who was her visitor today? Hmm. |
Whoops! Didn't see this. ^_^ Quote:
She had said he could come in right? Either way Ellis opened the door, he was tired of standing out in the hall and wasn't in the mood to |
Quote:
And there was a head. No, not a floating head. Lourdes smiled at the man who peeked in and watched as he finally entered her office. "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Recard," she greeted. It was obviously Armen's relative or some sort because Lourdes could remember that he applied for the Ministry, specifically her level. Wonder what Armen felt? "Please, have a seat," she said as she stretched an arm towards the vacant seat in front of her table. She didn't want to keep him standing like that. |
Quote:
She was pretty attractive without all that Keeper's gear on--Ellis was impressed. |
Quote:
She watched as this Recard sat down and kind of ignored how we unbuttoned his shirt. She was going to be professional-like today and not get... distracted. "Oh, alright," she said, nodding. "I do believe you used to play for the Tutshill Tornados, if I'm not mistaken." She remembered, of course, and read his applications for the job. He was fit for the position, Lourdes did not debate with herself unlike what she did with the other applicants. And if he wanted to tell Lourdes more about himself now, he was free to do so. "I could introduce you to the other employees in your division afterwards." It looked like he did want others to know him. |
Quote:
The woman had kind of been staring at him for a minute after he had sat down but Ellis he was used to that sort of thing. Instead of looking back at her he decided to just check out his surroundings. She had a nice office, spacious and clean--not too big. He had visited Armen's office on the floor below this and it was about the same size but he had a bunch of stupid old portkeys and things all over the place. |
Quote:
Of course, Lourdes remembered Ellis Recard. Tornado Keeper. And then, he showed her his injury from that bludger. "I hope it doesn't keep you from doing well in both Quidditch and work, Mr. Recard," she said. Quidditch players were special. I repeat, SPECIAL. Beauxbatons, that French magical school. Winery? Lourdes wondered how he could be so good on the broom if he only used to tend a family winery. "What made you fond of Quidditch?" It was a question she wanted people to answer, especially with her people in the department. So he was good with the introduction, and he wanted to do something. Well... "I've posted in the bulletin the job tasks for each division," she nodded. "As for the League, I can remember that your task, for now, is to prepare a slogan to make fellow Quidditch player aware of their health since there's a disease in the Ministry recently," the woman paused first, and hoped he didn't make a big fuss about the illness. "But don't worry, the Law Enforcement department are working on finding out. Infected people are being quarantined there. Keep safe out there." Now... would he like to move to the League now or something? |
Victoria had been working hard at her job and had felt how busy they could be, but at the moment she had a bit of free time, so she wanted to know if there was anything extra she could be helping out with. As she walked to her bosses door, Victoria gave a smile as she knocked. Hoping she wasn't interrupting anything to much, she just needed a quick word and then she would be out of the way again. |
Quote:
That's when she heard a knock on the door. Oh, was it another visitor? Or maybe an employee needing help? Either way, Lourdes was willing to help and welcome them to her office. The woman sat straight on her comfy seat. "Please come in," she said loud enough for the person behind the door to hear. |
Quote:
"How is all the election and debate things going for you?" She was very interested in how her boss was doing. She thought she could do a great job, but didn't want to see her leave the department if it became to much. "I was wondering if there was anything you needed done, I have some free time and just wanted to see if I could help with anything else." |
Quote:
Election and debate things, Lourdes didn't expect that either to be brought up. She expected it to be some sort of concern about work, or if they wanted a change in position due to discomfort. "It's going well, thank you for asking. Though, I'll have to apologise for my absences in the level because of them. I do give you my word that I'll be back here once the elections are over." Lourdes assured her with a nod. She liked that Victoria was concerned with things. Anything she could help with? "I actually think you're doing a great job here in the Department. But right now, I don't really have much things for you to do." At least, Lourdes didn't want to give her employees extra work that might wear them off. She was a considerate woman. "The least you could do now is... well, you've got some new department friends to mingle with. I've hired three more employees while we were on break. I think they'll want to have some acquaintances while they are in the level." That wasn't too much now, right? |
Saxon had never been in the head of departments office. She awkwardly stood in front of Lourdes Black's office door, Saxon tipping on her toes and leaning backward and forwards. Although Saxon felt like she had completed her job task she still wasn't quite sure of the outcome. An, if people were to see this, she wanted to be reassured it looked nice and that the department head approved of her invitation. So, she held her folder in her hand, holding it gently like if it were the most fragile thing in the world, with her design stuffed neatly inside its pockets. She lifted her hand up slowly and gently knocked the door and stood off to the side, waiting, hopefully, for the door to open. |
Different timelines. :D Quote:
Later on, she heard a knock on her door. Lourdes had been having some recent visitors these days and that seemed really heartening. Looking up, she placed her book on her table before allowing the person on the other side of the door in. "Please come in," she said, hoping whoever was there could hear her voice. Lourdes sat straight, waiting for the person to enter her office. |
Quote:
Victoria took a seat and smiled, "Oh it's nothing really." She didn't see it as nice, but just as something she wanted to do. She always wondered how others were doing, so no big deal. "If you get the position for the board, will that keep you away more?" She was just curious on what that would bring. She wasn't worried that her boss wouldn't be doing the best job, just curious on what the new spot would mean. "Well if you need anything done around here while away don't hesitate to ask." Victoria really wanted to help make things easier for her while she was out, she liked her boss and wanted her to do well. "Oh new coworkers." Victoria smiled at this, she liked meeting new people and she really needed to find some more friends, since moving here she really only had one. "Yes I will have to make sure to introduce myself and help with whatever they need." |
Quote:
Lourdes was pleased that Victoria seemed to like meeting the new employees, so she gave the woman a smile in return. "I could go and introduce to them to you if you would like. I think they're still getting in with the hang of things around the level." She nodded. Lourdes had their records inside her drawer right now. In fact, she had all of the employees records. Everything was divided from the retired, to the ones out on an assignment, and to the ones currently in the level. Organised stuff, of course. But well, she was waiting for Victoria's reply patiently. She'd been a good employee. |
Quote:
New Employees, Victoria wondered why she hadn't noticed them since being back from break, but she had been caught up in her own work that she probably wouldn't noticed a chocolate bar on her desk let alone new people walking by. "I don't want to take you from your work, but introducing would be great when you have a chance. It might make it less awkward for them, instead of some stranger just coming up and talking to them." Victoria gave a small laugh, yes she didn't want anyone to think that she was going to try to boss them around or anything, she just wanted to meet them. |
Gonna send PMs to the new employees. Will send you one too. ^_^ Quote:
Take her away from her work? "Oh no, I'm on break now. Finished everything before you came by." Lourdes was glad she did, so she could go with Victoria and introduce the new employees to her. "We could go now if you want." So..? |
Quote:
A bigger smile formed as Lourdes said she had time, that would be great. Victoria really did want to meet the new employees and make them feel welcomed. She felt very welcomed when she started, so of course she wanted everyone to feel that way. "Yes that sounds like a great idea. Now would be just fine." She got up out of her seat and waited to see where they would be going. |
Quote:
Oh, the chair seemed very comfortable. Too comfortable. It felt like one of those chairs you can lean back in a bit. Forgetting where she was Saxon began to lean back in her chair and lean forward in a funny manner. The blonde realized what she had been doing, and then stopped, cleared her throat and sat still. "Yes, I'm Saxon Kildare," her face was red from embarrassment "I work in the Gobstones Public relations office, and I wanted to pass by the invitations to you." That's what she was her for. Saxon sat in her chair waiting for a reply. |
Quote:
The blonde didn't really mind if the younger one wanted to sit. What's the use of comfy chairs and seats anyway? "Nice to meet you, Miss Kildare... or would you prefer that I call you by your first name?" Lourdes asked. Mariel preferred it than calling her Miss Morgan, so it probably was the same with this one. Oh! The invitations. Lourdes couldn't forget, and she initially thought her Gobstones Relations employees had forgotten too. "That's wonderful! Could you please show me them, then?" Lourdes waited for Saxon to pass to her the invitation. |

Looking at the invitations Saxon had made as the younger blonde laid them on the desk, Lourdes was actually smiling. She was fascinated, and the invitations looked really good. "I'm impressed, Saxon," the depart head finally looked at her employee with a grin on her face. "They look wonderful." Perhaps Lourdes could make more copies of this with the Duplicating or Doubling charm. And what was that? Lourdes considered giving the girl a salary raise for her efforts. Hmm... Lourdes would have to think about that thoroughly, so that it would also be fair for her other employees. |
