Gideon is having a dream about pudding when he suddenly hears a clicking noise. His dream self looks for a clock - where is the clicking coming from? He doesn't wake until the woman who just entered the room is standing over him, speaking to him. He blinks a few times and raises his chin to glance into the face of this woman. "Nap is done, I s'pose." He stands up and stretches with a groan and asks, "You work 'ere too? I was beginnin' to think maybe they closed this office down, though you'd think with all them werewolves infesting Hogwarts that we'd be rather busy, wouldn'tcha?"

Rowan shook her head and smiled at his gruff demeanor. Although glancing around the office she had to admit even to herself that the office was rather empty. "I'm not sure where everyone is, but I did most of the paperwork for that fiasco yesterday."

She didn't want to be left in the office by herself so she had had an owl bring her the files so that she could do the work at home. Focusing back on Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome she held out her hand.

"Rowan Cromwell. I don't think we've formally met."

Gideon accepted her hand and returned the handshake. "No I dun believe we 'ave met yet. My name's Gideon, Gideon Spence." He asked her, "So who's in charge of this division anyways? I haven't met either of my superiors yet. There was no department head to report to when I first got hired and I couldn't find the division head anywhere."

Rowan sauntered back into the Werewolf Registry and Capture Unit offices and sighed. The meeting had seemed a little pointless but at least they had gotten a chance to see their new Department head. Besides the fact that he was mondo cute, he was also funny and seemingly laid back. That's not to say that he wouldn't get the job done, but she was extremely glad that he wasn't an all work and no play kinda guy.

Jordyn Lupin sighed as she walked into the Werewolf Registry and Capture Units office, all it really was was a bunch of cubicles in one large room, but who was she to complain, this job paid for all of her bills and all of her niece's school supplies. She suddenly felt older than she really was, her niece was in her sixth year at Hogwarts, and with her brother dead she had to take care of her niece all by herself. Of course, she did love her niece, but Rogue reminded her so much of her brother, Remus.

Jordyn shrugged to herself and sat down at her newly appointed desk, it was so much cleaner than her first one, there weren't any pictures on the desk, not yet at least, and it wasn't covered with books she would read when she was bored.

"Being a werewolf isn't as bad as most people think it is," she murmured to herself. "After all, I am one and I'm doing just fine, thank you very much," she added, just as quietly.

A paper airplane flies into the room and comes to a rest on your desk, unfolding and smoothing out to reveal...

Jordyn quickly picks up the paper airplane, unfolds it and begins to read what is written on it. As she read she began to become more and more angry, at the Ministry and, most of all, Greyback, he was the reason she was a werewolf. "That's bloody rubbish!!" she exclaimed when she was finished reading. She threw down the paper and immediately set it on fire, maybe she was overreacting, maybe she wasn't, neither her or her brother or her niece could go to the World Cup because it was near he full moon, it wasn't bloody fair.

Don't give into the injustice. Stand up and walk out for what you believe. Join the hundreds of Wizarding Workers who are opposed the Ministry's prejudice against those who are different! There will be a mass walk out on Saturday at 4 p.m. to show your support for those who have none. Take to the streets of Diagon Alley and stand up for what is right!

In a rather refreshed mood, Chad entered into his werewolf-oriented division. He took a seat on...someone's empty desk and looked around the room, wondering which of his keen-eyed Beast employees would notice him first.

Having been off and on in the department since his return, he came into the division for his first day working full-time once more. He did so with more confidence and less hesitation than before. He strode in with much of the old demeanor and looked around. It seemed that most were busy or otherwise not available, save for one person. He ran through images in his mind, trying to remember if they had met before.

Chad looked up hopefully as another presence entered the room. Child smiled gently; could it be? An employee? Chad was becoming worried that he was grossly understaffed again. Completely rested on the desk, Chad smiled gently, wondering if this man was a part of this area.

After taking a random tour of Diagon Alley once more, since she felt like she couldn't get enough of the amazing place, Lilah practically skipped into office, carrying the pile of heavy and thick books she now bought for no apparent reason. Like she was going to read up on spirits for the heck of it...pfft...yeaaa.

Since she was in such a happy mood (first day of work and all), humming a cheerful tune and in her own little world, she didn't realize where she was headed until she actually stopped and looked around the place. "Wooow." she mumbled to herself, just staring around, noticing a few people here and there. After the moments pause, a bubbly smile appeared and lit up her face. "Hi!" she said to the nearest random person before heading over to, presumably, her desk.

Of course, she could have just had have just levitated the books to follow her, but that didn't cross her mind as she dropped them on her desk with a loud 'THUD'. Sitting down in her seat, Lilah took a deep breathe and relaxed her aching arms for a moment, closing her eyes. Such a good day!

Chad's attention turned to the arrival of a new employee in the division area. Excellent! "Welcome to level four," he greeted, remaining seated on the still empty desk. "You are just in time to hear the news!" Hmm, he needed to let people know soon...where were they? Where was his division head?

"Thank you." she said sweetly, opening her eyes and looking for whoever spoke. Oh, there he was! A smile appearing on her face, Lilah finally decided she probably should do something with these books... Wait, what? Her first day and there was already news? "Can't wait!" she said excitedly, scooting the pile of now useless books onto the floor with another loud 'THUD'.

They'd probably be useful sometime in the future, waaaaay future, so she wasn't going to get rid of them just yet. Now to just, organize, this little space of hers, would be great. It was too...Eh. Moving everything around, she somehow managed to make it look extremely messy yet clean at the same time, even though there was barely anything on it so far. But, at least now she 'knew' where everything was, so it worked for her. "Much better." she patted the desk. Yes, much much better.

Whoever it was seemed to have taken notice of him as well, and he just barely nodded to him before making his way to his desk. Then someone loud was in the room. He sighed and muttered to himself. "Welcome back to work..."

He turned to Chad with a raised brow as he listed to them talk. "News? What news?"

Jordyn felt like screaming, that is, until she noticed that other people had entered the room. She sighed and tore the paper apart and threw it into the trash before she greeted them. "Hello," she said, trying to be polite.

A bit late for work, Samson Vane stumbled into the office and towards his working place. Forgetting where you had put your wand in the morning and wanting to be early for work weren't such a good combination...He gave a friendly nod towards his fellow employees and made his way towards his desk...

Gideon entered the office whistling a cheery tune. He greeted everyone in the office, "Hello party people! What's shakin?" Gideon took a seat behind his small desk and immediately began rifling through the scraps of parchment on his desk. Where had all this crap come from?

Samson looked up as Gideon came in.
He seemed to be in a cheerful mood.
A grin spread across Samson's face. "Hey Gideon!", he raised a hand to greet his collegue. "Party people, eh? I guess, but not before this is finished!", he pointed at the sheets of paper on his desk. "Lots of work coming in...how come you are in such a a cheerful mood?"

As Pandora walked past the door of the Werewolf Registry & Capture Unit she heard a very familar voice. She opened the door and walked in.

"Sorry to interrupt, Samson?" She smiled genuinely. "Hello. I haven't seen you around for... ages." She suddenely felt very akward and smoothed the front of her robes with her hands in a most uncharacteristic way. "I haven't had chance to thank you for, well, you know, what happened in the forest." Her smile dropped slightly as she shuddered involuntarily. She composed herself quickly, her face as impassive as usual.

Violet walked in, tapping out a holiday tune with her left hand. She tapped each of the four fingers against her thumb in time to the song as she whistled. The Beast Division head was in a better mood than she'd been in since April. The holidays usually made her much more cheerful than usual. She looked around the room at her employees and smiled a the room at large.
"Hello," she said loudly. "Does anyone need help with anything?" Well, not exactly subtle or professional, but it would do.

He heard a voice saying his name and turned around. Pandora was walking towards him. "Hey! Yes, we haven't talked in ages! I'm sorry...the forest? You don't need to thank me, it's fine. Are you still hurt?" Then he grinned. "You can invite me for a cup of tea after work in return for me helping you." He chuckled.

"Samson, you saved my life," she said softly, blushing. She could barely believe it, she didn't realise that she was capable of blushing. "I-I'm... fine, thank you." She said hesitantly. It was exactly true but she wasn't going to tell him that in the middle of the office. "Tea? Of course." She smiled, "Tea on me at the Leaky. Figuratively speaking, of course."

He blushed,too. "Well...maybe I did...". Then he laughed nervously. "Okay...well I look forward to after work!" He gave her a broad smile.



ooc: See ya in the Leaky Cauldron!

Pandora flashed him a genuine smile. "I'll see you in the courtyard at 6pm?" She felt slightly akward "Well, I'd best get back to work. See you there."
She turned and walked out of the Capture office, heading back towards her own.
