"So you are still working in your old department, that is great" Katalin told her husband, she was glad that they both had brilliant jobs.

Hello Katie he said with a smile.I'm wondoring if hannah can babysit next week if its alright with you.Joey busy with her boyfriend and i dont want to bother her.I heard she bought a farm.

" no honey, I am working in my original separtment" J.J. Starr explained Katalin. " I am very excited about the new postion" Joe Jon Montcenaggio said to Katalin. " I have a feeling I will be very busy" J.J. told Katalin.

Smiling warmly at J.J, Rachel replied, `I hope to work with you too!'

Really?

REALLY?

Sullivan did not want to be at the party in the first place and now he was waiting in the security check line even longer because he had to show his I.D?

But, it was probably a good thing no one recognized him.

Grumbling to himself anyway, he reached into his pocket and flashed his correct I.D. to the man. "My I.D."

" I bet you we would make a superteam" J.J. Starr told Rachel. " How long have you worked in the Ministry?" Joe Jon Montcenaggio asked Rachel." I bet you have a lot of ideas" J.J. said to Rachel.

Elias approached the security check in with Caroline closely by, her little hand wrapped around his much bigger one. All the people were making him very nervous. Laura had a job interview and he had been invited to this... thing. For a Mr. Berty Borr. The unfamiliar name confused him. It was obviously somebody very important, hence the large party. And seeing as a major event was being held for somebody in very high placement in the ministry, it only made sense to come.

Which left him stuck with their little five year old bundle of joy. Again, back to being nervous. He picked up the awed child and placed her on his hip, before continuing to navigate through the crowd and to the security.

"Daddy!" Caroline squealed as she was lifted, unannounced, from her place on the ground beside her father. She wrapped her still little arms around his neck and lay her head down on his shoulder.

"Sorry sweetheart," he apologized, "too many people." And left it at that.

He stepped up to the check-in guard and stated his name. "Elias Pierce, Department of environmental regulation and protection," he looked down. "Oh, and this is my daughter Caroline." Man, that was a mouthful. He hoped he wouldn't have to keep restating that over and over again, otherwise this was going to be a very long day.

"Well, aren't you cute." J.J. Starr said to Caroline. " Very big party here" Joe Jon Montcenaggio said to the little girl's father. " My name is Joe Jon Montcenaggio but all my friends call me J.J. Starr" J.J. introduced himself.

Elias turned at the sound of a voice, keeping a tight grip on Caroline. A man was introducing himself. J.J. Starr. "Er, nice to meet you Mr. Starr," he greeted. "Sorry, my hands are a bit full." He chuckled slightly, really more to himself than aloud. The man seemed nice enough, though being around so many people still made him nervous.

Caroline looked up curiously as a man approached them. Instinctively, she clutched at her father's collar, holding on tightly with one hand. There were lots of people here. Some of them were sort of odd looking. This man wasn't odd, but he was very tall and a little on the big side. She smiled sheepishly, burying her face in her father's shoulder.

Elias looked down affectionately at Caroline. "She's shy," he explained, though he wasn't sure why exactly he was explaining this to the man. He'd only just gotten here.

" Nice to meet you, too" J.J. Starr told him." Yes, your hands are full, but you should see my Villa, Katalin and I have lots of children" Joe Jon Montcenaggio said to him.
" I have some homemade fudge in my jacket pocket and Caroline can have some if she wants it"" J.J. handed it to the man. " Wwll, there is a lot of people here and I do not blame you for being shy or scared" he smiled at Caroline." I have daughters at home, too" he smiled at the man and Caraoline.

As Leonidas walked up to the strange device and walked through it, he was nervous that something bad was about to happen. But the thing didn't set off an alarm and he walked right in. Again. "Thank you," he said curtly.

Jamie walked up to the security check in, a little nervous as she had never done this before and because she really didn't know what to say. She paused as she reached the check point and took a deep breath, stepping forward said politely;

"Jamie Sullivan, Administration Services" That was right, right? She blinked and took another breath wondering where it all went from here. She looked around her and noticed a sigh saying free t-shirts. Hmm.

"Is there free t-shirts?" She asked also.

Please dont hold conversations in here, thats what the Party is for! Move along!
 

Emmalee smiled as she passed through security. "Many thanks," she said, before looking at the teeshirt.

Best to just slip that in her bag and move on...

Elias gave a curt nod, taking the shirts. "Thank you." Wow. They were, um... hideous. No doubt Caroline would refuse to wear hers, but nonetheless he put his on out of a sign of respect. Though it was rather awkward looking with his other shirt poking out underneath... Maybe putting his jacket on overtop would help? Never doubt the power of layers. He gave a nod to the man at the security booth and continued on inside the party. Whew. Okay, let's get this over with

Joey rolled the stroller in the check point.Hello My name Is Joey Eventide i work in thee Environmental Protection and i am Junior Plant Removal Agent.Is this Storller allowed in the party,I can not carry her around on my hip all party long she said to the person.

Parties were...not really Nolan's thing. Unless they were in his honor. And Lord Borr...he wasn't sure what he'd done to deserve a party but whatever. Nolan was really just eager to get started at his new job, and this shindig was just delaying that. Still, he figured it'd be good to show respect for his new boss, and he wanted to see if he spotted any familiar faces among the crowd.

Straightening his glasses, he headed towards security and--OH MY MERLIN. WHAT were those hideous t-shirts doing here? Was he really expected to WEAR that? He'd put on his nicest cardigan for the event and everything!

He sort of hoped that Ginger wouldn't show up. He didn't want her to have to endure the pain of having to wear one of those things too.

Jamie smiled her thanks as she took the t-shirt that was handed her way, but shook her head at the offer of two t-shirts. One was enough. "No thank you" She said politly folding the one she already had over her arm as she stepped away to walk around the people.

"Thank you" She added before moving away, slowly leaving them behind to start mingling somewhere in the party.

Arya was very aware of Sabel's presence as she made her way to the check-in and slowed the swinging of her bag when he joined her. Her eyes had been distractedly scanning the crowd for stray students as her thoughts remained centered on how... eventful the party had been. Certainly hadn't gone how she'd expected or wanted it to go.

But they were leaving now, and she'd soon be able to put this whole day behind her.

Since Tate didn't specify where they should go when arriving at the check-in, and the place seemed to still have a line, how she didn't know, the young Puff drifted over to the side with Sabel and waited for more familiars to join them.

Tate left Lily and Josephina to watch the end of his rag tag group as he swept through the students already waiting to stand at the head of the line. They just needed their Auror escorts, and they could all take the Floo back to the school.

"We're going to Gringott's, and I need you all to stick close, please. Don't wander off."
