Armen trying to make up for his mistake flashed a winning smile to the woman who just spoke "i have an idea. I say on the weekends we set up classes so that the students may practice and take their tests when they need to and we can send Apparation testers, thats us, he indicated the surrounding group. "and we an supervise." H eended with a smile. He really hoped they liked his plan.

Melanie stopped in her tracks, currently on the way to her desk to think the whole thing over since the French-guy, Armen, said something. She turned around to face him with a smile. "Yes, but, would you say these classes are obligatory or optional?"

"well we would want them to be optional because we obviosly dont have enough personell to handle those kinds of proportions at once."

Micah nodded at each of their opinions. They all seemed to have energetic minds, but he felt the air turn awkward as pretty much everyone stood up.

Micah stood up himself and said, "Well of course, 16 year olds who would become of age when they must take the final test?" He questioned, expecting it more to be a reminder.

He cleared his throat and began to speak again. "Shall we take this to the conference room or shall I arrange some seats to make this a more...formal meeting?" He scanned the room with his observant eyes and looked back to Lorraine.

Armen looked from Lorriane to Micah. "Well id better get back to work if there is anything i could do for you two, any errand or job call me." he gave a smile and made sure he SHOOK everyones hand this time.

Walking into the apparition test center. Liz looks around. Interesting... Taking an application she fills it out, and begins answering the questions.

"I remember taking the lessons when I was at Hogwarts but...Why didn't I ever go for the test..."

Armen saw a women with an apparation form looking nervous he walked up to her and said" Hello mam im Armen recard one of the testers here. Are you taking the test?"

"Hello, I'm hoping to!" Liz says turning toward the gentleman that came over to talk to her.

Well have you filled out the form" he tpook it from her and said "follow me." he took her to his office.

Listening to what the others were saying Melanie had to work hard to not throw this Spanish-looking an annoyed look. Couldn't the guy speak properly? What was his name anyway? He hadn't introduced himself to her, had he? How very impolite and rude of him. "Yes, so shouldn't someone write down all the things we're considering? So we won't forget them again, I mean." She looked around at the other expectantly, waiting for them to do as she'd told them.

After some time Melanie blushed slightly. She kept forgetting that this wasn't Hogwarts anymore and that not everyone was doing everything she wished. Without another word she quickly strode towards her desk and wrote down everything they'd talked about so far, carefully not looking at anyone as she did so. She really had to get used to her new life.

Miss?! Melanie looked up in surprise at the voice of the Spanish-looking guy. She stared at him searching for the right thing to say until finally responding, "Uhm...thank you?" What was his name again? Oh, right, he hadn't introduced himself. No manners this guy had. Standing up with a sigh and walking towards him she said, "There's no need to call me Miss. I'm Melanie." She even smiled at him tossing back her blonde hair.
"Sorry, I didn't catch your name, though." That might be because you haven't introduced yourself to me, she added in her head.

Armen noticed some of his other coworkers who he thought were new to introducing them selves so he walked over to join them. "Hey guys Im Armen Recard." He shook both of their hands.

In her confusion Melanie had even forgotten that she was supposed to be taken aback by this guy, Jack's, behaviour. I mean, he hadn't introduced himself to her at first. As he repeated her name again, she actually wanted to say something along the lines of "Yes, Melanie. Should I maybe write it down for you somewhere?", let it drop though, since she didn't want to start fighting with him. Taking his outstretched hand she listened to him and simply couldn't suppress the urge to smile at his attempts to speak without his weird accent from before.
At the sound of a man's voice Melanie turned to see the French-guy who had kissed Lorraine's hand before. Well, at least he wasn't doing that to her and Jack as well, as he was introducing himself. Shaking his hand she threw Jack a look that meant "Look! He's got good manners, unlike you!", even though she wasn't mad at him anymore. She was sort of unable to be. Turning back to Armen with a smile she said, "Nice to meet you, Armen. I'm Melanie." He still was kind of weird in her eyes but she wanted to get along with everyone she was working with, so she didn't let it show.

Glancing at Jack from the side Melanie realized that he was obviously kind of thinking the same about this French-guy, Armen, as she was. An involuntary grin flashed across her face. She quickly pulled herself together again,though, since she didn't want Armen to see it.
When Jack spoke again, she just couldn't help it. She started laughing which was very untypical behaviour for her. "Sorry, I'm so sorry, Jack." Her blue eyes searched for his grey ones to tell him that she actually was sorry for just starting laughing like that. "It's just...what kind of accent is that you have, if I might ask?" Working hard to quit laughing she straightened up again and waited for his response.

Seeing the confusion on Jack's face Melanie started to feel really bad about the whole thing. It had been so unlike her, though, she was still sort of confused herself. Only thinking about her bad behaviour from before gave her headaches and she was quite ashamed of herself. What was wrong with her? Maybe she should have taken her father's advice anyhow and just stayed at home. Why did she want to work in the first place? So she was going to become really rude and laugh at people for no obvious reasons? Definitely not.

Melanie was quite glad that Jack wasn't mad at her or anything. Even though he should have been, he really should. Turning once again to face him, she apologized one more time. "I really am sorry about my laughing at you. I don't know what came over me. It was highly unappropriate." What was she apologizing for anyway, though? He obviously wasn't taken aback but it sort of made Mel feel better. At least a tiny little bit.
"Oh, wow, Australia. That explains your accent. I have never been there although I always wanted to go." Okay, this was a lie. Since if she'd really liked to go there her father would have taken her, that's for sure. "So, how come you've been to Australia for eight years?" She was trying hard to keep up their conversation.

Micah entered his office after a long, nice break for lunch. Seeing many of his employees converse and bringing life to his division made him quite, quite happy.

He sat down on his central desk and waved his wand to conjure a poster of his nationality to the wall on the side of his desk. He couldn't find time to do it, until now when he was actually thinking about it.



He yawned and attended to the applicant. "Hello, there Ms...--" He grabbed her application paper and observed it thoroughly. "-- Ms. Grey. How are you doing today? I am Micah Nettings, the official in-charge of the Apparition Test Center. So you're interested in taking the test? Well you're going to have to start by speaking to either Mr. Moniz over there--" He pointed to Jacinto, "-- Ms. Charington over there--"He pointed to Melanie, "--Or Mr. Recard, here--" He pointed to Armen.

Micah leaned back on his seat and sighed, "Jack, Melanie, Armen, you guys ready for your first real 'assignment?'"

Armen looked up to see Micah say his name. He was talking to a woman who looked kind of nervous she must be taking the test. He got up and walked over to them. "Hello there Im Armen Recard, are you here to take the test? I will be your tester if you dont mind Ms. . .? If so follow me to my office."
