Ah, well, that was an interesting reaction to my – Krel immediately liked this woman. Furthermore she was offering her cookies! Well, telling Krel to eat as many cookies as she could was a bad mistake. Despite her petite size, Krel could pack away the baked goods like there was no tomorrow. “Thanks,” she said with a big smile as she picked up a (full) plate of cookies and walked around to grab an empty seat.

She was still eating one when it was her turn to talk about her favorite city. “Munich, Bavaria Germany. The Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, arguably the most famous beer hall worldwide, is located in the city centre. Best freshly baked pretzels I’ve ever had in my life. I never miss an Oktoberfest.” Yep, Krel was one of those very rare-food obsessed women.
Mmm… Krel had put down her 3rd cookie and had picked up her teacup to take a sip as she listened to her co-workers responses. She crossed her legs under the table, causing her Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon hide heels to click together softly. “Well, when I was in school, I spent my early summers working in vineyards, I abhor rainy weather, and I think sauerbraten is the most delicious thing in the world to eat.”

" I had been at HogWarts before a close freind of mine, Jason Potter Weasley and thank you dor saying nice things about the USA" J.J. smiled at Gina.

My favourite city. Well, she had many, but she couldn't deny she had one that stood up above those all. "In Mexico, the country from where I come from there is a small town called Cadereyta. It's the most quietest, traditional place I could have ever been in my life. There is no trafic, you can walk around the place like there is nothing bothering you and the people, just...amazing." And why not, she knew the whole town like the palm of her hand. After all, she had lived there with her grandmother for more than three years.

"I guess that what I like...is that it keeps the esence of the past. The old days like the twentieth century, the calm..." And that was her explanation. Now she really wanted to go back to Cadereyta.

"Mexico is nice, but I've never seen Cadereyta, One more on my list of places to vacation in!" She said enthusiastically.

"Well... I suppose I'll go first..." Helena spoke up, "I'm actually from Bordeaux, in France... I have Four children; One girl and three boys... And... I've never been inside Hogwarts..." Helena smiled at Gina to indicate that those were her three.

Hehe. But which one was a LIE?! Hehe.

"Let's see... I think that by your name you were born in France... you could have seen the inside of hogwarts but you seem way too young for four kids." She said.

"Munich! Love it!" She said clapping and grabbing a cookie for herself. "Yours is easy... There are better things to eat than sauerbraten... like my husband's cookies!" and she nommed it.

"Gina, luv, Call me Gina." She said trying to think which was the lie... "The hogwarts thing..." she said and moved on. "Come on guys... keep going!"

Helena smiled at Gina as she said this, "Oh no, Not too young at all! My younger sister's recently had her fourth child and she's still yet to turn 30!" Fair enough, two of them were twins, but age means nothing with child bearing these days! Hehe. "But yes, that was the lie. I only have two children."

She looked around the other people and wondered why they were all being so quiet.

Grinning at Gina, Diana thought for a while on what lie and truth she could tell about. Her whole life had been of changes here and there, places and new people. So, maybe she could just say about that. "Well, I am married..." LIES, though she wished it so hard in the core of her heart. "...and I wish I was an only child. But no, I have the most annoying brother anyone could have." Truth and kind of lies. There has not been a single complaint about Em since he was a toddler, when he used to pull Annie's hair just for the sake of his fun.

Stella frantically stood outside the door, waiting for whomever it was to finish their statement before walking inside. She didn't want to interrupt. She quickly smoothed her hair and brushed off her blouse before walking inside.

"I'm so very sorry," She said, taking an empty seat, she'd come into her cubical and seen the note and rushed to the meeting as soon as she could. She'd been out of town with family and had just recently arrived when she heard she'd been hired at the Ministry. She wasn't sure what was going on, so she thought it best to not ramble and make a fool of herself. She waited patiently in the chair, very nervous and hoping she didn't interrupt anything. Although, on the outside, she tried her absolute best to remain cool and collected.

"What about HogWarts?' J.J. Starr asked Gina. " It was cool while I was there" Joe Jon Montcenaggio said to Gina.

An easy grin settled on Malachi's face, the twinkle of amusement which was customary for him. After listening to some of his collegues speak he finally spoke up. "Let's see... I have a teenaged daughter called Esme who seems determined to drive me crackers; I'm single, utterly unattached and definitely not in love; I have a falcon named Lemuel."

He had kept his voice level and even as though they had been chatting about the weather. The lie he had chosen to tell intersted him, it had just tripped off his tongue with no thought to it. Keeping his easy grin, he ran his hand through his hair subconciously, making it stand up in a fluffy, disorganised way while he wondered why he had chosen to tell that particular lie.

" Gina, I never knew we were supposed to tell one lie because all I have been telling you the truth" J.J. Starr told her. "So I am finally tell you two tuths and one lie this time" Joe Jon Montcenaggio said to Gina." I loved working in the Education Dept. with Samantha Rose, my ex-girkfreind from my very younger days, eho thought we were going to be married stayed at Katalinsand my Italian Villa, but another sport to tell you about is I play tennis" J.J. explained to Droo.

"Yay! I got it right! Well, you seem so young for kids. But I'm sure they are beautiful." Gina said happily.

"Now I know your brother is not the most annoying... my brother takes the cake on that one." Gina told the woman.

"Dearest, you're fine. We haven't gone into the nitty gritty. Everyone is sharing two truths and one lie and I'm guessing which is which." She said offering the woman a cookie and a seat. "What's your name, dear?"

She looked at his hands and wrists. "Tennis, that's the lie. As a wrestler you get hurt lots and you can't risk hurting your wrists when you play tennis." She said proud of herself. "Anyone else?"

Violet was giggling like a little girl when she was trying to think of the two truths. What on her was she going to say about herself that was so true. Okay here she goes, "I've been married and widowed already, My secret ambition is to become a Healer and......" Violet suttered a little but only for a second, not really even long enough for any one else to notice. "I hate cats" Violet wondered if she would be able to guess which one was a lie and which were the truths. It seemed all to easy to Vi but then again it was about her and she knew the answers already.

Wow, you are great" J.J. Starr told Gina. " i never played tennis in my life" joe Jon Montcenaggio laughed. " You are right, it would relly mess up my wrestling" J,J, laughed.

"Well, the first has to be true... no one would joke about losing someone they love." She said and nodded. "Hmmm... this one is hard... I think if your ambition would have been to become a healer, you would be doing that... but things never turn out as it seems... and hating cats... uhmmm you may dislike cats, be allergic to them, but to downright hate them? I think that's the lie..." She said smiling.

"I know my sports!" She said making a muscle.

Violet laughed a little, it was true that Gina was very good at guessing the lies amongst the group. "You are right Gina, I do not hate cats, I actually have three of them at home." Vi was having a good time with their new Department Head, she had a feeling that things were going to work out this time. "As for the healer thing, at the time when I needed to train to become one my son was born and I did not have the time to dedicate to the profession. And after so many years I'm happy in the ministry, but I still think it would be fun to be a healer." Vi felt the need to explain to her about why she wasn't doing her life's ambition.

Xavier Vindictive walked into the newly furnished conference room with only one thing on his mind. Im back, thought he with a most charming smile. He noticed a few people chattering and bothered not to introduce himself. Instead he sat on the less crowded side of the round table, leaning back with his legs crossed comfortably, and helped himself to a cookie as the tray floated by.

OOC: ive been gone for awhile allow me to fix all my stuff. especially my siggy.

Malachi laughed good naturedly. "I don't suppose I can argue with that now, can I?" He ran his hand through his hair again. Was he in love? He blinked rapidly and focused on what his colleagues were saying, rather than the question burning in the back of his mind.

"Things always happen my dear," she said in a motherly way, "I wanted to be a ballerina... but I have two left feet." She laughed.

"Oh Hello there," she said to the handsome young man entering the conference room. "I'm Gina Latorta, call me Gina... I am the new Department head here... have a cookie." She said levitating the plate in the man's direction. "Lets see... you must be..." She put her glasses on and looked on her roster. "Xavier?" She asked. "We are sharing two truths and a lie and just getting to know each other before I let everyone know about the new assignment."

"No you can't... though that may not be your lie... Was it?" She asked her division head.

" You are very smart and knowledgable" J.J. Starr told Gina. "What else is in store for us?" Joe Jon Montcenaggio said to her. " More games?" J.J. asked Gina.

Xavier leaned further back in his chair and started to draw his eyes closed until he realized he was being spoken to. He jerked his head up and began to sit properly. "Ohh the new department head? Well congratulations, and yes. Xavier it is. Xavier Vindictive for all who dont know me." He replied looking around the room so that everyone knew he was speaking to all who populated it. He raised one eyebrow and licked his lips revealing his crater deep dimples while he thought of two truths and a lie. "Two truths and a lie? Okay well Im single, Im Durmstrang alumni, and I own a black panther." He finished with a smile interested in what they might think was a lie.

Malachi blushed a little. "Yes, that was my lie" He didn't offer anymore information, wondering if his admission would get back to Frida before her could tell her himself.

"Just a few questions." She said with a smile.

She smiled.

"All right, first question How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?" She said and giggled.

" Good I like questions" J.J. Starr told Gina."Do I have to answer?" Joe Jon Montcenaggio asked Gina with a smile. "Would it be twenty questions like the muggles do in their world?" J.J. asked Gina laughing.

Helena giggled and smiled at the woman's cheefulness. It was simply contagious. "Yes, you got it right! But no... I wouldn't say I'm young. Give it a few years and I'll have hit fourty!" She smiled at the older woman, "Well... Yes, I think that they are. But, thank you for those compliments... I certainly don't think I look that young." Hehe. It was true! But that was probably only because she KNEW her age, and the kids.

Which reminded her ... She MUST go to the animal place before going home... Goodness knows she'd need the extra supplies, what, with Luna seeming like she was about to drop the kittens.

Malachi's first thought was rather unpalatable, so instead of putting a voice to it he thought again. His eyes twinkling with merriment, he suggested "You take a photo of it, and then place the photograph in the fridge." He wondered what the others might come up with.

Helena wasn't sure if this was aimed at the woman she smiled at, or at the whole group. Gina said it loud enough for everyone to be addressed, and two other people had already spoken, so she figured that it was for everyone.

Hmm. A photograph of the giraffe. Clever.

"Well, I suppose it would depend. If it were a toy giraffe, you just clear some space and put it in." Helena rose an eyebrow at her own words. WHO'D WANT A TOY GIRAFFE?! She'd MUCH rather have a real one. "But, if we're talking REAL giraffes, then you'd use a shrinking charm on him, until he was small enough to sit comfortably on the shelf." Hehe. Smile. "Oooh, but you'd have to be careful not to shrink him TOO much, otherwise he might get lost in the butter. I'd imagine that wouldn't be very good."
