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!

He looked back again to see she was still standing there. He looked at his wife, to see she was perfectly happy, and just as long as he brought a ham sandwich back she would forgive him. "Erm...mingling," he murmured.

Theo stood up from his seat, and headed over to the radiant beauty in black. "F...f...feodore. I mean Theodore," he stammered, shaking his head slightly at his childish utterences. "Theodore Newtington. I do not believe I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance." He bowed to her slightly.

Vivienne stopped and looked at the man. She smiled. "Eet iz a pleazure to meet you, Theodore," she said in her heavy French accent and held out a perfectly manicured hand. "I am Vivienne Beauvais."

Theo lifted his head up and took hold of her perfect hands. Now this lady was the reason why he regretted marrying so early. He pressed his lips softly to her hand, and smiled. "Nice to meet you Miss Beauvais. Are you new to the Minstry, or are you here as the entertainment? You would sure liven up this party."

He nodded, "Yes lets. I would love to see what Reagan has planned for us. Since Brennan doesn't seem to do any work. I don't think I have had a memo from him for ages now, they are all from her." He followed Lorraine and Syd to a seat, pulling his wife with him.

He whispered into his wife's ear, "Later. You can eat all you want once the ceremony has finished. It won't be going anywhere."

Lorraine glanced over at Theo, realizing she had nearly forgotten he was sitting near them as he'd been quite quiet for some time. Frowning, Lorraine narrowed her hazel eyes at the man sitting just a slight ways from her. "Theo. You misunderstood me," she replied charismatically. "Of course I know Syd from Level Two, but just who he is. We haven't had much contact you see, because unlike another department head I know, he is actually doing work rather than spending time in my office."

She sighed woefully as Theo went on about how Reagan did all the work around there; which was quite true. Very minimal contact with the Minister at all; Lorraine always wondered how she was able to put up with it all. That woman had the patience of a saint, evidently.

One glance at the stage and she realized that the guests of honor were bored. And zee enterainment iz an insult to France!

Though before she could dwell on Reagan too long, Lorraine's thoughts were obstructed by something else. The entrance of a simply stunning young woman entered the courtroom. It wasn't that Lorraine was jealous or anything, but that woman had evidently lost her way! The fashion show was certainly not at the Ministry - even she knew that.

Shaking her head, the next move shocked her most. Theo had risen to the occasion and practically made a fool of himself with her. Stupid men - think they could do anything Honestly; who does he think he is? Prince Charming?!

Before she could help herself, Lorraine rose from her seat as well, giving an apologetic look towards Syd and Kyra, and marched over towards the two. Grabbing Theo's arms, she offered a piercing glare at him. "Theo. Please try to remember your location. We are not at a cocktail party, despite what some might think."

Egypt was laughing at something Nathan said when someone walked past and caught her attention. She raised an eyebrow at the woman. That was totally inappropriate thing to wear to a conference, she thought to herself. Not that she blamed the woman for wear the new Dior dress she had several in her closet. The workplace simply wasn't the place to be showing it though. "Young woman these days always think they have to put the fruit on display to entice." She said to herself.

She watched the married fellow from magical sports almost trip over himself to make it over to the woman in Dior. Her mouth hung open at his display. His wife was sitting right beside him.

She blinked at his obvious flirting. That was just simply absurd. Did he forget he was married? She turned away before someone noticed her staring. It was shameful it was.

"I 'ave been 'ere for over one year," Vivienne said politely and tried to pull her hand out of Theo's firm grasp. His thumb was still caressing the top of her hand. "My job, er, 'how you zay eet in Eengleesh . . . oh, yes, eet is Mysteriez Department." She blushed because she seemed to have forgotten how to speak English.

"Then I do not know the point of this tuxedo. I thought it was to make the English looked debonair in the presence of those of higher power than ourselves," Theo shrugged, "I myself believe that we are here representing the British Ministry of Magic. Therefore we should look our best. You are just jealous of Miss Beauvais charm."

"Ah Level Nine. That is why I may not have seen you before. I live all the way up on Seven. I am the Department Head of Magical Games and Sports," Theo smiled.

"Well I think you look beautiful," he grinned. He wasn't sure what to say. He hadn't had to compliment someone's dress in years. Well without lying. "Forgive my colleague here. She gets rather antsy when other women are parading her ground. She is just jealous."

Ben watched with a sigh as the seats began to fill up one by one, and yet none of his Divison heads had come to seek him out, like they had planned. Hmpf! They were all going to get Howlers disguised as origami if they didn't show up. Scowling, he stood on his tip-toes, making himself even taller than he already was, and found an empty seat in the middle of a nearby row. He figured he better sit down quickly, since the opening ceremonies were almost completely underway.

He walked over and started to make his way down the aisle, bumping into people and banging knees with them. "Excuse me, I'm sorry," he muttered to each person in turn as he made his way to the empty seat. Unfortunately, just as he was about to make it in the clear, he walked right into woman who had just risen from her seat and was now talking to another employee. His lanky limbs tangled up and he fell down at her feet, horribly losing his balance as he landed on the ground with a thud.

"Oh, excuse me! I'm terribly sorry!" he muttered as he stood back up, extending his 6'4" frame to his full height. Oh goodness, she was another Department head too! He recognized her vaguely from around the Ministry but other than that had never talked to her, and now he had just fallen into her.

Gah!! Pretty runway woman thinks she could just interrupt when she feels like, eh? Shaking her head, Lorraine turned slowly towards her and narrowed her eyes sharply. "Sorry for interrupting your lovely conversation, but I do believe my attire is certainly proper." Unlike your couture attire....

Glancing back towards Theo, Lorraine tightened her grip on his arm and just shook her head. "Oh yes. That is exactly what we are here for; representing the British Ministry does not by any means include making a fool of yourself by slobbering all over this poor dear." Lorraine retorted back, disgusted. "And I for one am NOT jealous!" Ah the nerve of the man to SUGGEST such a thing.

But before Lorraine had the chance to suggest anything else, someone had fallen down on her feet. Standing up to his full height, she recognized him as another department head, but one who she was quite sure was newish, since she had not recognized him before. Not only that, but he was also quite tall too - almost a foot taller than her, she would estimate.

Shaking her head, she sighed. Oh joy; men groveling at her feet. The last thing she needed.

"You ought to watch where your feet are... especially in crowds like this," she replied back, with unmeaning anger in her tone. Stupid French woman - ruining her mood.

demented_death_eater · 11-10-2008, 03:44 AM

Vivienne looked at the two who appeared to be arguing like a married couple. "Eez zis your wife?" she asked and looked at the woman who looked upset. "I forget my manners. I am Vivienne Beauvais of ze Department of ze Mysteries." She held out her hand in a friendly gesture.

Disneymaniac · 11-10-2008, 03:48 AM

Theo shook his head furiously, "No she most certainly is not. I reckon she wishes she was. Would explain her behaviour towards me." His face contorted, "Darling you are hurting my arm," he said, in a sickly sweet manner, not wanting to draw attention to the hand around his arm. "That was my fractured one. It didn't heal as well as the other fractures. I guess because it was magic induced. I don't know the ins and outs of breaks."

He grinned as another male joined him, "Ben, my good fellow. Glad you could join us. Ben, Miss Beauvais, Evil moo-face Brothmeister. Now you all know each other. I am happy."

Ben blinked at the woman as she snapped at him in a very angry tone, and wrinkled his light blonde brows. Well, there was no need to be rude, it was an accident, after all! People his size tended to get tripped up every once in a while.

"Yes, my apologizes," he said, deciding that perhaps this woman was just annoyed that he had fallen into her. "I'm Ben Cobblesten, by the way, Department Head...correct me if I'm mistaken but aren't you a Head as well?" he asked with a polite smile as he held out a hand. He turned to the man she had walked up to--well, stormed up to, actually, from the small bit he had witnessed, and grinned at him too. "Nice to see ya," he said with a grin at this fellow too. Wasn't HE a Department Head as well? How lucky he had tripped in that spot...it was like a little Department Head tea party now!

Oh, that must have been the other Department Head he had walked into. A light clicked in his head as the name rang a bell...Lorraine, that was the woman's name! He...wasn't sure how to respond to that, so he just let it drop. Perhaps he had walked in on a very hostile conversation.

*PhoenixRising* · 11-10-2008, 03:54 AM

Lorraine looked away from the other department head who had fallen at her feet and back to the runway woman. His wife? How dare she suggest such a thing!? "I'd rather be a Hippogriff," she sighed, attempting to relax. "Pleasure, I am sure. I am Lorraine Brothmeister, Department Head of Magical Transportation." She took the woman's hand and shook it; best not to look snobbish with her kind.

Glancing over at Theo, she frowned at his comment and released his arm slightly. "Good, and puh-leasseee! I'd rather be eaten alive than be YOUR wife. I haven't the slightest how Alina deals with your actions." Lorraine shook her head, determined not to react to his comment on her name. Evil moo-face? Honestly . . .

Taking a deep breath, Lorraine attempted to relax even more before speaking towards the fallen department head once more.

"I'm sorry, but I'm a little edgy right now," which has nothing to do with how i can't get HIM off my mind. Sighing quietly, she nodded as he introduced himself. "Yes, I am a Department Head as well. Lorraine Brothmeister, Head of Magical Transportation." Well this corner of the room just seemed to be the place for department heads tonight, didn't it?

demented_death_eater · 11-10-2008, 03:59 AM

Vivienne could feel her fingers crack in the woman's grip but kept an unfaltering smile on her face. "Eet iz a pleazure to meet you. Bothz of you." She smiled at the man who joined them. Finally, her hand was free once again and she swore she could feel the blood circulating once more. "Zis event iz nice, yes?" she asked all of them.

Tommehbell · 11-10-2008, 04:00 AM

The conversation going on with the Ministry people was way more exciting than the little performance going on on the stage. She tired not to look like she was listening in on their conversation but it seemed like the woman had caused a stir and Egypt had a feeling that was exactly what she was aiming to do.

"No worries. I imagine the amount of planning that everyone has put into this event is stressful on everyone. Nice to formally meet you Lorraine. I've only heard of you and how you run the Magical Transportation level," Ben said with a nodd. He looked around at the man she was yelling at...that Theo fellow, and turned back to her, not wanting to get involved in whatever was going on now. Ben couldn't help but feel that he had fallen in at the wrong moment. Whoops. Nothing he could do about that now.

"Pleasure. Where is it you work?" he asked, making small talk with the French woman Beauvais before looking back at the front again. "And yes, it is nice, especially since we've got the whole Ministry together to meet with foreign wizards...not very often that happens!" he said with a cheerful grin.

"Sorry about Lorraine, Ben. I know she seems very off. It is just the time of the month for her," Theo nodded. He wasn't sure if that was true. Every day seemed like the time of the month with her.

"Leave Alina out of this. What has she ever done to you?" he sighed. "She deals with my actions rather well. We have been together about 15 years now. She is used to it. And I am sure she would probably eat you right now, if you came in a sandwich."

Ben felt his mouth hang open a bit as Theo mentioned that forbidden subject about the female species. Uh oh. That was sure to get Lorraine angry. If it was one thing Ben knew about women, it was that you NEVER brought that up within earshot of them. After having three daughters and being married for 20 years he knew that just wasn't a good thing. "Oh, well, perhaps um...right," he muttered.

"So everyone enjoying the ceremony?" he asked, trying desperately to lighten the mood. Meh. He had a feeling that wasn't going to work so well.

Finally, her hand was free once again and she swore she could feel the blood circulating once more. "Zis event iz nice, yes?" she asked all of them.

Lorraine wasn't entirely sure this Vivienne woman enjoyed her handshake, so she settled on making it quick. "Thank you. Pleasure to meet you as well," she replied politely, placing her hand back at her side. "It is a lovely event." Best not to mention her views on the Minister's speech in public. That would not bode nicely at all

He looked around at the man she was yelling at...that Theo fellow, and turned back to her, not wanting to get involved in whatever was going on now. Ben couldn't help but feel that he had fallen in at the wrong moment. Whoops. Nothing he could do about that now.

"OH yes, that is completely the reason for my edginess," Lorraine agreed, though it wasn't entirely truthful, but it sounded like a believable excuse. Besides, she really was not in the mood to go into details on her mood right now. Or ever. "Only good things I hope," she replied, with a subtle wink in his direction. "You run the Accidents and Catastrophes level, correct? You must be the new Madeline ..." To be honest, Lorraine never did know what happened to that woman, but just heard someone new was coming in. Course that was a few months ago, but no matter...

"Leave Alina out of this. What has she ever done to you?" he sighed. "She deals with my actions rather well. We have been together about 15 years now. She is used to it. And I am sure she would probably eat you right now, if you came in a sandwich."

Lorraine turned again on Theo, narrowing her eyes when he wrongly assumed it to be that time of month. Oh men - always jumping to conclusions! Shaking her head at him, she sighed again.

"My time of the month or not, wouldn't that be MY business, Theo?" Lorraine questioned inquisitively. "And I will bring Alina into this if you insist on talking about my business. Besides, Alina has done nothing to me. I was merely wondering how she has put up with you for so long. Minus the fact that she probably has learned to IGNORE you."

Angelina had to cover her mouth with her right hand because her quiet laugh was transforming in a laugh, without the quiet.
She could have simply agreed with Rico’s definition of Clara Belle, after all, Angelina could say that she knew the woman.. rather well, since she was constantly wondering around the Minister’s office.
Though, that wasn’t quite what she did, usually when people merely agree with each other the conversation just dies more rapidly.
And to be honest, she didn’t want that to happen.
She raised an eyebrow, and kept her smile.
“ She does have something of.. insane. Though I have to ask, how do you know that she attacked everyone that tried to help her on the day of her wedding. Were you one of those persons who tried to help her?”
She remembered Clara’s wedding day very well.. she had missed half of the ceremony because she was trying to get the portkey that would take her to her honeymoon destination.

That felt really, really awkward.
She felt like his dark brown eyes were scanning her through hers.
Hum.. he had some pretty dark eyes..with speck s of gold. Angelina tiled her head slightly to the right, humnm she had never noticed that.
Of course that she had noticed that he had brown eyes, she just hadn’t noticed the gold flecks.
Oh well, she wasn’t really paying attention to his eyes the other times they had met.
Er.. not that she was paying attention now.. but..er.. it was a little bit hard not to notice when he had his eyes locked on hers.
“Humnm ?” she hadn’t really been paying attention to what he was saying. It took her a couple seconds to remember the words he had spoken just a minute ago. “Really ? That is.. interesting. ” she finally said, not moving her green eyes away from his. “But I’m sure you know some people can fake their expressions really well.”

“It is? I’ve never heard that before..” Humnm? What the heck was she saying? But of course she had heard it before! That sentence was certainly on the top of the world’s most famous sentences, how come she had never that it before?

She thinks I'm funny. She finds me funny! SCORE! Rico grinned in spite of himself and chuckled softly at Angelina's response.

"Precise, yes, I know." Rico winked confidently and ran a hand through his hair. "Noooo no no noooo I didn't really help with her wedding - I'm not a big fan of weddings, you see, except for the receptions. You can meet a lot of people there." He nodded, remembering the Belle-Cooper affair where he'd met three pretty ladies. Such a nice evening that was.

Rico leaned in closer to Angelina before speaking again. He didn't really fancy the Minister of one of his close employees overhearing this and having it get back to Clara Belle. He read the Daily Prophet, oh yes, and he knew who she was. "But just from my seat in the audience, Mrs. Cooper seemed very, ah, scary. I mean, she only had one bridesmaid, the Undersecretary, and that woman looked like she was being tortured and/or not paid enough to stand there." Excellent description of Ms. Taylor, so he thought.

But they had been talking for so long that Rico didn't even care if Angelina felt awkward or weird; her green eyes were a little bit addicting and he couldn't turn away now; he couldn't go back to watching the silly flag twirling and French nonsense. It seemed she was equally mesmerized too. "It is interesting...." Rico murmured slowly, his brown eyes twinkling now. "Some people can fake it....but not you, Ms. Gilmore, not you....did anyone ever tell you that you have such beautiful eyes?" He was still speaking softly, like one sentence just blurred into the next. Perhaps it wasn't healthy to make eye contact for such a time, but Rico had a knack for liking things that were bad for him. Just like coffee...

Alexa raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. She hadn't found the chinese minister's antic amusing. Frankly, she'd thought he was immature and
only made sure she had a ninja japanese minister to keep under control as well as the peruvian minister who was just another whole can of worms.
She looked up to Rebecca and nodded, "The australian minister. As of now"

Warren was about to reply to Rebecca when she turned toward Alexa instead who was still looking...jealous? Surely not. He listened to the conversation between the two as he kept his eyes watching the crowd at the mention of Alexa's minister he smirked and muttered, "Yes, which is a lot better than the Peruvian in my opinion." The blighted git. His continuous flirting with Alexa would have probably sent him over the edge had he not been trying to keep his head on straight and maneuver his way around the U.S. Minister's antics.

"Blood." she finally spoke. Everyone had their weaknesses. That was Lucy's.

She couldn't help feeling thankful to Jake. She touched him slightly on the face.
"Thanks." a long pause. "I was really freaking out with that."

He nodded in understanding, his facial expression still worried, but not scared. He distantly heard Samantha ask if Lucy was ok, but that thought vanished when Lucy placed her hand on his face. His mind went foggy, and the only clear thing was the woman standing before him. "You're welcome," he whispered and moved so that they were mere inches apart. He cupped her face with his hands and lowered his head slowly towards her. "Luce..." he whispered again, his brown eyes on her gray ones. Ever so gently and carefully he pulled her towards him, closed his eyes and kissed her.

Rebecca smiled at Warren and then Alexa, she noticed he was flirting with Alexa and she shoved her hand into her pocket "Australia and Peru!" she nodded "Impressive" she commented "I had to run after and persuade Minister Li to stay with the group." Rebecca sighed.

Lucy wanted to keep all the memories of that night. She wasn't sure if she realized what Jake was doing but she let him lead her into the kiss.
She closed her eyes and all the sudden she was kissing him back, in the same sweet and gently way.
She barely had heard his words. If she was thinking properly. she would have pull back immediately, but this Lucy, the one that was actually enjoying the night because of her co-workers, didn't do it.

"Lucy.... c'mon baby, come here. Lucy!" the seveteen year old guy told his girlfriend, two years younger than him. He grabbed her carefully but the arm and pulled her agaisnt him. Lucy was angry and hating him in that moment. When he kissed her, she pushed him and slapped him. She had seen him hanging out too friendly with the Ravenclaw captain.

Later, comparing the two men, Lucy would remember this.

Jake was enjoying himself immensely but knew that he had to end it, otherwise they would stay there forever. Slowly he pulled back, leaving his eyes closed and rested his forehead on hers. He eventually opened his eyes and smiled at her, feeling like the luckiest guy in the world. Merlin, my last serious relationship was Caitlin, back in seventh year...
"Hey there, beautiful," he whispered to her, his voice a little hoarse from the lack of oxygen.
