He asked while he waited for the hot water to fill his cup and turn the little coffee granuals into drinkable coffee. Okay, money, so the obvious reasons.... What did he do between getting out of school and working here?? Georgina didn't think it was who you know, anyone could get into a division with someone they already know right? "Me? Well i applied for the ministry because i wanted to help people... directly. And i didn't think that the position i was put in would be at a desk.... So, slight dissapointment there.." Which was completely true. She shouldv'e pursued being an Auror, but she didn't think she would have the grades for that in school. Georgina made herself a cup of coffee and put some vanilla cream in it.

"I wish I could say the same, I'd seem like such a nicer person, but I don't like to lie." He said, stiring the coffee around and adding some sugar. He liked sweet things. "And I help people when they need to be helped, and I supposed I do with this job. But it was never my main aspiration. guess it was just the way I was brought up." |

Ugh. Liliana needed coffee. Desperately. Nodding at the others there, she went and got a latte. Taking a sip, she sighed. Much better. She really needed to get to sleep at a reasonable hour and not depend on coffee for her energy...

Davina was feeling unnaturally down lately. She had finally dug herself out of a mountain of paper work and work itself was beginning to feel tedious to her. Everything was so routine and monotonous.
She moved across the room nodding curtly to the other ministry workers and fixed herself a cup of mocha chocolate. Mmmm just what she needed to lift her spirit up a notch. She raised the cup to her lip and sipped the wonderful hot beverage.

Georgina looked at Jake in wonder.. "So what is your main aspiration then?" That wasn't too much of a personal question was it? Did Georgina's parents raise her to be as caring as she is, Or is it all by her choices. She believed it was her choices but maybe she was wrong...

Jake thought for a moment. "I don't know." He said finally. "My family were very... weird, i guess. Father was a wasted wizard, and my mother a muggle who hated to be married to a wizard. I've never really known what my options were." He frowned slightly, "I guess I'm a bit of a waster too." He said, looking up. "I never tried hard in school, home work was never done, and I didn't even think of getting a job until my sister got one." Now saying it out loud, he realised how lame he sounded. "I don't know what to do anymore." He shrugged, dismissing it. "How about you?" He asked.

Amaria walks to the coffee corner and grabs a mocha latte. Why didn't she think of this before? At least she had Dacs to tell her to go get some coffee. It would definatly wake her up from her long days with Jackie and Jasper.

So much for not-so-busy days. Marina had honestly thought this one might turn out fine, you know. The kind where nothing would go wrong. But something ALWAYS had to go wrong, in the Department of Mysteries. Then again, she had chosen the place for herself.
With a little sigh, she walked up to the Coffee Corner, high heels clicking against the floor. Tucking a loose curl behind an ear, she reached out to make herself some black coffee. |

Damien was standing disillusioned a few feet from the coffee cart... no particular reason why, just was... when a lovely lady came walking up. With a smirk he lifted his wand, gave his head a gentle tap and appeared to the left of her.
"Hello there," he said in his silky voice as he reached out to take a cup as well. |

But she was obviously not one to mind company. Her former career had made sure of that. She half-turned, and gave the man a formal but pretty, little smile.
"Hey. I'm Marina. You?" |

"Hey. I'm Marina. You?" Damien smirked and swept the lady a bow, removing his hat as he did so. Standing back staright he smiled indulgantly at the pretty lady and said, "Marina, that's a nice name. It suits your face. I am Damien. Damien Jackson. Lovely to meet you." Yes, she was a lovely lady with a lovely name. Yep. |

Yes, she was a lovely lady with a lovely name. Yep. How classy. Marina's lips tugged up into half a smile. Class. That reminded her of memories she would rather not think back to, but she was in a mood fine enough to appreciate it in any person.
"So I've been told," she said. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Jackson." She took a sip of the dark, rather bitter coffee, before looking up at him with deep blue eyes. "You like coffee, too?" |

Damien chuckled a little when she said she had heard it before, basically. "I speak only the truth lovely, Marina," he said matter of factly as he reached for a cup.
"Love coffee. Been standing here by this cart for a while actually. Enjoying the aroma," he replied as he poured the coffee and DROWNED it with sugar and cream. He took a BIG sniff of the coffee before taking his first sip. "I swear, nothing much better than a cup of joe," he said in a muttered tone. |

"Can I call you Damien?"
Though she had a feeling he wouldn't mind.
Oh, another coffee lover! "My thing is black coffee," she admitted, in a matter-of-fact way. "It's what carried me through all the photoshoots." At least she didn't have to bother with flashy cameras, anymore. |

At least she didn't have to bother with flashy cameras, anymore. Damien nodded his head and then tilted it slightly to one side. "I would prefer if you did call me Damien, yes. I am not that old that you need address me as Mister or sir," he teased. Although she did look younger than his ripe old age of 35.
"I need cream and sugar. I like sweets. I think it is a hazard of growing up in the South... SOuthern United States that is... we drink everything real sweet," he rambled for a moment then chuckled. He was a rambler for sure but he found himself trying to stop that around here.
"Photoshoots? What kind of photoshoots?" Damien asked as he sipped from his cup. He wondered if she was like a model for the Ministry of Magic or something. Interesting.

Everyone had suddenly fallen ill, then along came a healer and Charlotta kinda just got on with her work. Because that was what she was like. Hard working and well focused. So with a slight skip in her tread because for some reason, the woman seemed to be happy today, she walked over to one of the chairs and sat herself down, grabbing a drink as she went along. it was nice to rest for a short while as the department got itself back together and she didn't want to be considered a bit of a hindrance to the ill people.

The exhaustion was clear on James's pale face as he wandered into the Ministry's coffee shop. Brushing his blonde hair out of his eyes, he proceeded to rub them with both hands. Nights like those were getting more unbearable as he got older.
As his body wasn't used to such toxins, he ordered a milky latte in the hopes that the small amount of caffeine in there would wake him up and he would be able to string together a coherent sentence when he returned to the office. He turned to find a table in a quiet corner, but his eyes widened when he noted the place was full. Gulp. That would mean sharing a table which would mean speaking voluntarily to one of these people.
He looked at each face carefully until his tired green eyes rested on a young woman who looked relaxed and approachable. He took a breathe and wandered over. Ahem. He cleared his throat to get her attention. “I-is this sseat ta-taken?” He managed without stuttering too nervously.

And judging by the tone of his voice, confidence and approaching strangers, wasn't exactly his strong points. So the young woman shook her head and added on a friendly smile.

Confidence was one thing that Charlotta definitely had so she decided to immediately introduce herself. "I'm Charlotta.

Never a dull day here.

"Photoshoots? What kind of photoshoots?" Damien asked as he sipped from his cup. He wondered if she was like a model for the Ministry of Magic or something. Interesting. Marina laughed. "How old are you?" She asked. She would guess thirty something-ish. Which would obviously make him older. "I could very well be a decade younger."
Growing up. Marina had done a lot of that. Her eyes flickered, and she smiled up at him. "I grew up in Russia," she said, quietly. "It's a beautiful place. I'm sure the US is a beautiful place, too." She had little experience of it. Nearly none. So she tried to picture it right now, but failed. She didn't know very much about the place, after all.
Oh, had she mentioned that? "I used to work as a model," she said, with a little shrug. It seemed like a really, really long time ago now. It had been a long time ago, in fact. "When I was seventeen, eighteenish," she added, in a matter-of-fact way. "Gave up on it, later." Though she was sure few people would have had a more blooming career ahead of them. She hadn't wanted to cut it short. But she had always been an obedient person -- and look where that had gotten her.
"So. Damien." She tilted her head, and gave him a pretty, little smile. "Which department do you work in?" |

Frown dissolving he smiled kindly at her, "The US is nothing special really. I have travelled the entire country and have seen nothing like what I have seen of Europe. I have only ever seen Russia in pictures. I am sure it is something beautiful to behold though." He was picturing the icy, snowy plains of Russia in his head... people in fur hats in the city of Moscow.... He watched a lot of spy movies. Heh.
A model. He was right. Interesting. "Retired early. What made you take the leap from modeling to Ministry?" he asked nonintrusively. Then he perked up a bit. "I am new to the Auror and Hit Wizard Division of Law Enforcement. You?" |

Never a dull day here. “Thanks.” James said and sat quickly. His posture was straight, tense. He wished he'd brought something to read with him and then he could hide behind the pages and lose himself in muggle literature.
He was happy to sit there in silence, but the woman broke it with a friendly greeting. He looked at her outstretched hand for a moment before taking it and shaking it. “Charl-Charlotta.” He repeated and took in the young woman's appearance. She looked friendly, harmless. He smiled a little at her. “I'm James Greenwood. M-magical Creatures.”
He bit his bottom lip wondering whether the woman would continue to converse or leave it as just a greeting.

| HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more Charlotta grinned. The guy seemed, well not exactly confident around strangers and Carlotta was the complete opposite of that. She had such a warm personality, so she always greeted with a smile. "It's very nice to meet you James" she replied wit a curt nod of the head thinking he would finish it like that but he continued.
"Magical creatures?" she repeated. "I've always loved to learn about the species that exist in the wizarding world" she continued. "Magical creatures was my second choice but just the mysteries aspect drew me in" she giggled slightly. "I work in the Time Room. ALthough I must say my time keeping isn't exactly that great." It was best to make good conversation in her opinion. Even if it was a little one sided.

"I am new to the Auror and Hit Wizard Division of Law Enforcement. You?" Well-seasoned. The phrase made Marina laugh again. "Exact decade then," she laughed. "I'm twenty-five-ish."
"I still think I would like to see it someday," she told Damien. "I like to travel, but I don't actually have a lot of time. Russia is," she added, quietly. It was a huge, huge part of her heart. Marina went there sometimes, usually when she knew winter would be at its worst. She knew she couldn't stay, though, no matter how dearly she wished to. It was hard enough trying to come to terms with life in England. Doing that in Russia would be horrible.
"My parents wanted me to do something worthwhile," she said, with half a smile. Modelling had been worthwhile for her. Something she liked. It had been pretty new and exciting and lovely. Why had she always said 'yes' to her parents? "I worked at Beauxbaton as the resident Potions Mistress for a while, after that. Wasn't satisfied, though..... and then eventually I had to leave Russia." There was nothing in her face, or the deep, deep blue eyes to suggest that anything horrible had been the matter. "Needed a new home, so I came here." She smiled, all prettily.
"You're an auror? That's awesome! You must be one of those tough, oh-so-awesome guys who know everything." She hesitated slightly when he asked about her job. "I head the Death Chamber," she said finally. "Department of Mysteries." That was as much as she could speak, about her job. But then, Marina had always been able to keep secrets.

"I still think I would like to see it someday," she told Damien. "I like to travel, but I don't actually have a lot of time. Russia is," she added, quietly. It was a huge, huge part of her heart. Marina went there sometimes, usually when she knew winter would be at its worst. She knew she couldn't stay, though, no matter how dearly she wished to. It was hard enough trying to come to terms with life in England. Doing that in Russia would be horrible.
"My parents wanted me to do something worthwhile," she said, with half a smile. Modelling had been worthwhile for her. Something she liked. It had been pretty new and exciting and lovely. Why had she always said 'yes' to her parents? "I worked at Beauxbaton as the resident Potions Mistress for a while, after that. Wasn't satisfied, though..... and then eventually I had to leave Russia." There was nothing in her face, or the deep, deep blue eyes to suggest that anything horrible had been the matter. "Needed a new home, so I came here." She smiled, all prettily.

Damien smild nicely at the youngster. She wasn't TOO young, but as she so eloquently put it... an exact decade younger than he.
"I think everyone should get the chance to travel. Yeah, if I didn't have so much to deal with state side I would have travelled far more than what I did. Turns out that there was an influx of Dark Witches and Wizards about the time I hit the scene. Terrible stuff," he said solemnly. It was terrible, some of the things he had seen. The lives that had been lost. He understood that everywhere had their fair share of lives lost to Dark... but he saw some brutal stuff. Maybe that is why he turned so odd. Hmm. Interesting.
Worthwhile. He got that. He would want children of his to do something worthwhile. He nodded understandingly. Not that he had kids or EVER intended to reproduce. "A Potions Mistress. THat is interesting. I love potions, very challenging and rewarding. Great field of work," he said approvingly. He did understand the new home bit... more than he wanted to think about.
Damien laughed heartily. "I am not sure that I am a know everything tough guys... but can do my job well enough. I never wanted to be anything else. Never. I always knew. I think it was engrained in my DNA. I come from a long line of Aurors actually. Kind of something I was expected to do, luckily I loved the idea of it. The thrill," he said. The truth was the thrill was long gone... it was a necessity now. He had to do the work.
Sipping his coffee he surveyed her. Everyone knew the Dept. of Mysteries if they knew ANYTHING about the British Ministry. The infamous Battle of the Ministry and all that. The Death Chamber. "You are an Unspeakable then. Fascintating. I know that you can't talk about it, but how did you come to decide on taking such a secretive job?" he asked quietly. He understood the need for secrecy. He did indeed. |

He did indeed. Marina nodded, a smallish nod. "I can understand," she said, simply. "My brother was an auror."
"Potions are good stuff," Marina smiled. "Much, much more fun, when you know you can invent your own, and don't have to follow instructions someone else set two hundred years ago, of course." Her smile widened, slightly. She remembered her first few years at school. She had always wanted to mess about, with potions. She still messed about, of course. Only, now she had much more success, knew what was likely to cause an explosion, and what was likely not to.
"I never knew what I wanted to do," she confessed, though laughingly. "Except that I wanted to be me, and have fun." Fun. She had grown up, loving that. Life and fate, apparently, had had other things in mind.
"Unspeakable Effron," she laughed. The name still sounded really, really formal; but that was how she was supposed to - and did - introduce herself to anyone, where business was concerned. Her eyes flickered though, at his question. "I.... don't know," she said, after a moment. She had been looking for a job, any job. But there were a few she could have applied for. Why had she applied for a position in the Death Chamber? She looked up at Damien, and smiled lightly. "I guess I wanted to come to terms with death," she said, with a little shrug of her white shoulders.
"So.... it must be pretty exciting, hunting out the bad guys. Danger and risks and stuff, right?" Excitement. It isn't always good. |
