Construction may have just finished days ago, but you'd never know it by the way the newly converted courtroom-to-auditorium looked - so finished, so polished and so ready for its sole purpose - the opening ceremonies of the International Wizarding Conference. With introductions of each visiting country's Minister to be made, performances and foods to celebrate the world's leaders gathered here, and the British Ministry's very own Minister to open up the summit, a new venue needed to be constructed to allow for such events.

From the doors through which all enter, the seats cascade downward, all facing the most important area of any auditorium - the stage. A stage upon which will sit ten of the most formidable and respected leaders of the Magical World. A stage which will feature a number of speeches and performances unlike any other.

At the center of the center aisle is a round clearing, which will house the wand torch statue that represents the magic and power of a conference of this kind.

Set-up of decorations is just finishing up and shortly the opening ceremonies will commence!

"Oh Grits are coarseleh ground corn cooked untill soggeh." She winked at him. "and Darlin, Ah'd nevah call a hunk laik that bah mah nickname... Minister..." She said rolling her eyes, "Is what Ah'd call him to his fayss"

"Yes Indeed ah am... but you Hush about that, Mah husband is a big hunk of a Mayn... Rancher he is... Mmmm" She made the same sound as she did when describing Grits...

"It's loveleh sugah..." she looked at the woman's scowl. "Darlin, don't scowl, the wind'll turn and your fays will be stuck layk that forevah and mah Warren here needs a pretteh girl..." She smiled.

He watched as Alexa walked up and couldn't help but notice how she was acting. "I'm afraid minister I already belong to someone." Somehow he managed to snake his arm from the minister's grasp. He took a step toward Alexa and wrapped his arm around her as he kissed her cheek whispering, "Thank you." He turned to look at the minister and felt compelled to point out the obvious to the minister, "This is Alexa my..." he glanced at Alexa as he searched for a word. Girlfriend didn't quite fit because she was much more than that to him but as he hadn't proposed no other word seemed right. He smirked slightly, "Or rather I'm hers." And as far as he was concerned that statement was exact.

"Darlin, we covered this... Ah know! Remembah?" She giggled. "Mah Husband always says Men just flock to you Darlin!" She giggled.

Taylor, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister, and your Mistress of Ceremonies for this evening. I'd like to welcome you all to this year's International Wizarding Conference. We're very pleased and proud to be hosting such an amazing event and we hope that we can all work together to make great strides on behalf of the global wizarding community. But before we get to business, there is always a bit of time for enjoyment! The festivities are going to begin momentarily, so if you could each find a seat, maybe grab a plate of food to bring with you to your chair, and enjoy yourselves, we'll be beginning shortly. Visiting Ministers of Magic, please join me on stage. Thank you."

Removing the wand from her throat, Reagan stepped away from the podium and took her seat behind the Minister's chair. Speaking of the Minister, where on earth was Brennan!?! Her eyes tore through the crowd searching for him, but he was not to be seen. Oh good riddens!

"That woman really shouldn't speak so loud, she sounds layk a mayn..." Abby said shaking her head.

He held her to him. "Nothing overly exciting. This here is Abigail Road, the Minister of the United States. Abigail, this is my wife, Alina."

She didn't let go of Warren and smiled at the woman. "How you're plenty healthy!" Abby remarked in the woman's size. "You must keep your mayn happeh!" She cooed.

Bhanuprasad Balasubramanium entered the conference room, a small, intricately woven magic carpet hovering behind him.

"I am so sorry for to be late but I was detained for it was time in my religion that I must pray." He said with a humble dip of his head at the group at large. "Where am I to sit, please?" he asked softly, his magical prayer mat choosing to roll itself up in a cozy corner where it was less likely to be stepped on.

Syd · 10-31-2008, 12:09 AM

Jess entered the room a bit flustered. She was late because she had had to babysit her neice, and she felt horrible about it. She didn't even know if she had to sit in a certain place or not. She looked around hopelessly as she tied her hair back with a scrunchy.

It was nice to see her smiling and Rico planned on keeping her smiling, for he had the impression that the young woman was usually so serious. Such a contrast to him, too. "Oh yes, I think I know who you're talking about," Rico nodded. "I'm very glad we had some people volunteer to decorate - I mean, I'm terrible at that sort of thing." He wasn't afraid to admit it. After all, Rico did excel at other things like....tinkering with Muggle artifacts....

Angelina’s green eyes noticed someone behind Rico’s shoulders smiling friendly at her.
Ah, it was Nathan Greenwood. It seemed that he had seen her.
She smiled, nicely, back at him, making sure she wouldn’t forget to pass by Level Two to talk with him after the conference, before turning her eyes back at Rico, just in time to hear him talking.

Oh, maybe she hadn’t explain herself very well.
“I meant to say, everything inside this room.” she replied, still smiling. “Well, I wouldn’t say you couldn’t.. after all, people say that everything is possible. I would say that is more than just a little bit hard to have a positive opinion about everything.”
Angelina laugh quietly before speaking. “ Its really good to hear that.”

He couldn’t be more glad than her for some the fact that people had volunteer to decorate.
Angelina could do a lot of things well, pretty well to be precise, and decoration was .. not one of those things.
Well, to be perfectly honest.. she had never spend much time thinking about how to decorate something.
She had too many things going on inside her head to waist time decorating.
“Well.. er.. I suppose while some people have a gift(or can be pretty good) for decoration.. others just weren’t born for it..” Angelina replied looking around, then back at Rico.
Well, the area she had decorated wasn’t that bad.. it was pretty good in fact.
Luck.
“But I suppose you, men, have an excuse not to be good at it. Usually, there are women who are in charge of decoration.”

"Um, I hope you don't mind me asking, but what change exactly do you mean? Not for me, for you," he added quickly, thinking of Rachel. She's going to come so soon! I can't believe this is actually happening! He chuckled to himself softly, feeling like a six year old days before his birthday.

He grabbed a plate and piled everything in sight onto it. He grinned at his overflowing plate, and reached for a fork and knife. He cast a spell quickly to prevent spilling, and tucked into the food. "Would you like to grab a seat? Looks like the entertainment is about to begin!" he said happily as he looked around for an empty spot.

"My surprise?", Samantha asked, not able to reveal anything to anyone yet. "Well, I don't really have anything planned yet, just hoping that something good is going to result from this convention, that's all. I just have this feeling that it will, but it's hard to explain. And you!", shs exclaimed, diverting attention from herself. "It's you I'm truly happy for. I have a feeling nothing but good things are going to come your way from now on."

Samantha smiled and sat down quickly, realizing that the ceremonies were truly starting this time. "The Minister will be speaking soon, then the foreign dignitaries," she whispered. "That's Reagan Taylor, Undersecretary to the Minister. She's a very important person, and is really responsible for putting this whole conference together." Deep admiration and reverence for Ms. Taylor were evident in her voice.

I think it was my inauguration that last time I saw you and your family." She leaned in and hugged her.

Valeria turned to the man Egypt was talking to. "And this must be the charming man that you married." She held out her creamy hand for him to shake. "Valeria Nikolovna, Minster of Magic for Bulgaria." She told him formally with her official duty smile.

Egypt tuned around at the sound of her name. A big smile spread over her face when she saw Valeria. "Valeria." She said as she threw her arms around the woman. "I am so glad you could make it. We are so happy to have you." She twirled around with a smile. "You know how the twins do. You should really visit them. They would love to dress you." She told her. Valeria had a wonderful figure, she was a very beautiful woman. "It has been too long. I am sure my mother would love to see you again. You haven't been to Ghana since that Qudditch finals have you?" She asked her.

"Oh forgive me for not introducing you both." She cried. She was a better hostess than that. Her mother would fry her liver for shaming her. Egypt beamed at her. "Yes this is the love of my life. We missed you dearly at the wedding." She told her.

Her official, 'daughter of a minister side'. Nathan always felt inferior when he had to attend such occasions as her husband. He'd hate to embarrass her or show her up in some way unintentionally.

He stood up out of politeness when the woman addressed him. “Pleasure to meet you, love.” He said with a warm smile, taking her hand and shaking it. “I'm Nathan. Nathan Greenwood. How are you finding the ceremony so far?” He asked trying to make light conversation.

Nathan looked over to see Clarissa, one of the Aurors, looking very relieved. “Hello love.” he gave her a smile and a nod after she had introduced herself to the Bulgarian Minister.

Egypt smiled at her husband. He was always nervous around people that he thought were better than him because of station or money. She would tell him later that Valeria was almost a mail order bride before she got her fist job as a portkey clerk. Valeria was a self made woman who had to overcome a lot of things in her life to get where she was.

Syd looked up and searched the room for the hollering. It sounded like his favorite celebrity chef, but he knew it couldn't be. Though of course this hollering woman possibly knew her... Maybe she had the 5 sticks of butter some of the food needed.

Deciding to see what it is she wanted, he strolled over, plate in hand. Smiling pleasantly to her, he bowed his head a bit seeing as he had to hat no take off.

"Yes ma'am? I believe you were callin' me? Or was it just my imagination that a lovely lady like yerself would do such a thing?" he asked, still smiling.

Just as she was passing a group of people, she heard a voice introducing themselves as the Bulgarian minister. Finally!

Sweeping over, she stopped just on the side of the woman, smiling at the group until the Bulgarian minister noticed her. "I am Clarissa Harel, the Auror who has been placed in charge of protecting you during this conference. Are you finding everything to your liking?"

Valeria turned to the woman that was speaking to her. "I was beginning to think that Bulgaria was not important to protect their minister." She said with a serious face. Then her crystal clear laughter rang out. "I am kidding." she said nudging her Auror. "I am sorry if I was hard to find earlier. I got lost on the tour." She said as a blush crept up her face. The British Ministry was bigger than any other she had seen. "I am Valeria." She offered.

You must be one hell of a man so have snagged this one." She told him with a wink. "She was such a heart breaker. So many suiters and she never batted a eyelash at any of them." She smiled warmly at Egypt. "But she held out for you and that is something special." She envied Egypt in so many ways.

"I do need to visit them if these are the creations that they are rolling out." She looked Egypt up and down admiring the robe she was wearing.

"I was so sorry that I could not make it." She told her. "I heard it was beautiful." Well the Riddle family always did things beautifully.

"Yes, jsut a year, but I wasn't in control of my own life, so it was more than I could have hoped, I was glad i got to do it for that long." She said with a somewhat sad grin. "I don't think you would be whistling if you knew what I got to do." She frowned as she thought of the veil, and the odd voices she had been hearing coming from it. "Maybe one day I will tell you." she replied teasingly.

"Ah, well, most of my friends come from the different houses," Cris said, nodding his head, and smiling slightly at the memories. He then grinned full on at her as she reacted positively to his idea of early retirement. "Yep. And I plan on collecting everything there is to collect in Quidditch. I already have a few shelves back home ready for them. I don't know what I'm going to collect first, but at least I have options. Not getting into an International Quidditch Team was a dissappointment for me, but I guess watching each and every game there ever was is as close as I can get," he said proudly.

Then it was her turn to tell her story, and Cris looked at her slightly disdainful. "Really?" He was a bit sorry for her since she was not in control of her life and all. "Well, on the bright side, you got a lot of guidance in your life." He could not say the same for himself, of course, since he himself decided to run away from home at an early age. Call him rebellious, but he liked the idea and never regretted it. "And, nah, I won't be waiting for the day you tell me. For all I know, I might be able to get in there, too." Heh. As if.

Reagan noticed that many of the foreign Ministers were not joining her on stage as she had requested. Either they hadn't heard her, they were confused, or they were blatantly ignoring her. And they better not have been blatantly ignoring her. It was bad enough her own Minister did that. She didn't need it from the visiting ones too.

Reagan announced again, elevating her volume to be heard above the crowd, "Can I please request that all our of visiting Ministers of Magic join me on stage?" She smiled at the few Ministers she saw to indicate that she was addressing them.

Brian let out a relieved sigh once he heard Reagan's call. Finally! Atleast a relief from the embarrassing enquiries and question. He moved forward, standing near by the stage, for in case if she need him to hand over any last minute work.

“But I suppose you, men, have an excuse not to be good at it. Usually, there are women who are in charge of decoration.”

Maybe they were both mixing up their words now; what Rico really wanted to say was that he couldn't be in a bad mood around beautiful Angelina....but he couldn't. He couldn't say something like that just yet.

"This is true," he answered her with a smile. Decorating could be considered a talent, surely, something similar to art skills. Rico wasn't bad at art, he just....couldn't decorate. It was something with matching colors and stuff. Ugh.

He chuckled a little at Angelina's statement though. "Do you really believe that?" Rico raised an eyebrow. "I thought those sort of gender assumptions were a thing of the past...otherwise, I mean, I'd ask you if you cooked some of this food. It's delicious." He grinned and took another sip of his chicha morada.

But then, he finally heard the Senior Undersecretary calling all the ministers to the stage...which meant that the ceremony must be starting. "I think we're supposed to go sit down somewhere...." he mentioned casually, hoping that she would sit next to him somewhere...if she didn't have to go sit with the Minister, of course. Because she could just be that important - what did Rico know?

Phoenixis · 10-31-2008, 05:01 PM

Piper made it to the conference, she was amazed by the number of people that has gathered around and waited to see what was going to happen. As she heard the undersecretary call for the minister, Piper turned to see them. She always wanted to meet the ministers of the world and that was her chance.

"Oh what in tarnation..." she said to no one in particular and let go of Warren touching her throat with her wand. "Keep yer panties on Missy, we're a comin!" and she grabbed the Indian minister, the Bulgarian one and the Australian one and dragged them up on stage with her. Abby was rather bossy.

Samantha watched as one of the ambassadors, she thought it was the one from the United States, took the stage, dragging three other ambassadors with her in the process. Her interest picked up, this was going to prove more interesting than she had originally even thought, after all! She couldn't wait to hear from this woman had to say.

Armen looked down at her plate to the bars. "Sure i'll get some then we can find a seat." He smiled motioning to a table nearby.

" She said, smiling again. She looked away and saw that Samantha had arrived, and she looked back at Lucy. " I wonder how many more of us will be here." She said, meaning their department.

Lucy nodded.
"Probably the whole department. It makes sense. I believe everybody in the Ministry is here." she said, looking around. What she didn't want to admit was that she was also looking for Jake.
She decided she'd judge him better in of she known somebody else's opinion.
"So, what do you think about Jake?" she asked, trying to make it sound casual.

Jose walked up to the stage as requested. This was the price to be paid for the office he held. So much unpleasant fuss.

Looking in the same direction as Teal, Rowan noticed that the voice was issuing out of a rather stout looking woman that was surrounded by people. She made a mental note to introduce herself, she had a feeling the woman was one of the Ministers. Sometimes her gifts weren't all bad.

She listened as Teal continued talking. "Yeah, I am too. And no I'm not nervous. I think its rather fun that all of us have the chance to get together like this. Meeting new people is always interesting."

Rowan fell silent just as another man came up and started talking to Teal. Teal introduced him and Rowan. She immediately could tell the man was different. She almost wanted to find out how different but that could get her into trouble. Rowan confidently extended her hand toward Vlad and said, "Good evening. I haven't met a whole lot of people from our division, so it's nice to make your aquaintance."

Teal then made an offer for drinks. Grinning she said, "A drink sounds good." Rowan followed Teal toward the beverages. She glanced briefly over her shoulder at Vlad to see if he would follow.

Teal nodded as Rowan said she liked meeting new people, it really was pretty interesting especially if that person was from a foreign country. “Indeed.” Teal mused, and watched as her and Vlad acquainted themselves.

As they did so, Teal looked to that crate and decided that it would be a nice touch. He swiftly took out his wand, pointed it at the box, and with a soft pop it cracked open. The shiny, little fairies tore from the box and quickly dispersed high in the tops of the room, shedding light and hopefully, happiness.

Grinning as Rowan thought a drink was a good idea as well, he made his way to the beverage and food table. He wasn’t hungry at all, so Teal merely picked up a goblet and filled it full with firewhisky. Taking a tender sip, Teal’s satisfaction was finally reached as the burning, yet pleasant, feeling ran through his veins.

Reagan had made her way to the stage, and requested that everyone find a seat. Teal sighed slightly and turned to Rowan and Vlad, “I guess we better.” He said with a wry grin and headed over to a row of vacant seats, settling in. He craned his neck, in pursuit of Lorraine, but he still couldn’t see her. Teal took a hefty sip from his firewhisky and pressed his lips together tightly as he withdrew his cup. “Where is Brennan?” Teal asked slightly rhetorically, but to Rowan. The Minister should have been here before all of them.

James stepped quietly into the conference room, seeing the meeting was about to start. A Ministry witch asked for the Ministers to take the stage.
He looked around and saw Piper.

He made his way silently over and took a seat, nodding his head in a nonverbal "hello". James turned his attention to the stage and watched, not knowing what to expect.

And you!", shs exclaimed, diverting attention from herself. "It's you I'm truly happy for. I have a feeling nothing but good things are going to come your way from now on."

Samantha smiled and sat down quickly, realizing that the ceremonies were truly starting this time. "The Minister will be speaking soon, then the foreign dignitaries," she whispered. "That's Reagan Taylor, Undersecretary to the Minister. She's a very important person, and is really responsible for putting this whole conference together." Deep admiration and reverence for Ms. Taylor were evident in her voice.

Jake listened to what she said, nodding. He blushed a bit and added to her words, "Thanks. If it wasn't for you, it wouldn't have ever happened!" And this was indeed the exact truth. He would always and forever be grateful for what she did. Always.
He plopped down next to her and looked up at the stage where Samantha was pointing. He saw a woman there, and according to Samantha, she was the undersecretary to the Minister. Wow, talk about being important! Even Samantha admires her, he thought as he caught the tone of her voice. "I take off my hat for her then. She really did an excellent job with this conference." he said, still looking at the woman. And she's so young, too!

He then grinned full on at her as she reacted positively to his idea of early retirement. "Yep. And I plan on collecting everything there is to collect in Quidditch. I already have a few shelves back home ready for them. I don't know what I'm going to collect first, but at least I have options. Not getting into an International Quidditch Team was a dissappointment for me, but I guess watching each and every game there ever was is as close as I can get," he said proudly.

Then it was her turn to tell her story, and Cris looked at her slightly disdainful. "Really?" He was a bit sorry for her since she was not in control of her life and all. "Well, on the bright side, you got a lot of guidance in your life." He could not say the same for himself, of course, since he himself decided to run away from home at an early age. Call him rebellious, but he liked the idea and never regretted it. "And, nah, I won't be waiting for the day you tell me. For all I know, I might be able to get in there, too." Heh. As if.

Andrina smiled at Cris's words and she nodded. "Collecting things? Like what? Famous artifacts? Like the snitch Harry Potter first caught?" She asked, knowing that artifact was world famous. "That would be disappointing, but I think you are right, watching ever game does count." She said with a soft smile.

"Yes really, but i guess I can not fault the guidance I have gotten as you said, as well as the job I managed to get." She knew it was a high honor to be an Unspeakable. As well as a big headache, for she couldn't tell anyone what was stressing her out. "Hmmm you never know." She said slightly mysteriously. "It's possible." She grinned. "Just don't commit a crime and end up in my department." She said with a soft smile.
