Addison smiled. "I do actually. I've been here a small handful of times but usually at more random times of the day." When it had been next to empty and she had been in and out. As for cinnamon apple cider she hadn't tried that just. "Is that a good drink, I've had that one yet." She also wouldn't be having it today but if it was worth trying she could always add it to her imaginary 'This sounds worth trying' list.

"Thankfully. I wasn't expecting it to be this busy but at least it's moving along fairly nicely," she agreed moving forward when able. "That's alright it happens when one such as myself hasn't been here that long," she answered laughing softly. Ooohhh, he was curious about how she liked her position as Head of the department. Addy smiled more warmly. "I love it. I've been in the department for quite a few years but being the Head of it was rather unexpected. I feel I'm not doing to badly though at least I haven't had any complaints." Thankfully. "Well someday's it seems never ending but I have a great team. They always get their jobs done."

Lucas grinned. "Luckily you've now experienced what coming here at times and you have my words to back it up.'' You're welcome, Addison. The guy nodded earnestly. "Yes, it is! Want to try some? My treat.'' Yes, he knew he didn't know Addison but he was always a gentleman.

"Yes, it is.'' Lucas continued following Addison as the line moved along. She didn't seem upset or offended that he had forgotten some details of her which was a good sign. "I bet it was a very pleasant surprise once you got over the shock.'' Promotions were fun but a lot of hard work needed to be done to keep the said promotion. "That's great! It sounds a though you've got into the groove of things already. I've never check out Mysteries much and I don't know too many persons from there.'' But now he knew the Head of Department!

"That I do and I shall have to remember to make note of it," she laughed. And not come here again when it was so busy as it was. Aaww, well wasn't he a sweet guy. Just the offer itself made her smile. "Well I was going to get something else but alright sure, if you insist that it's that good." She would cave this one time. It couldn't hurt. "Next time however it will be my treat." And yes Lucas she would remember.

Addison wouldn't at all be offended by not being remembered. Now maybe if he had been in her department and didn't remember her that would be a problem but alas that wasn't the case her. "It surely was. A very nice one indeed." Sure the job might be more tough and she had a lot more responsibilities now but she also knew what she was doing. "Well now you can say that you know one and the Head of the Department as well," she smiled again. That was always a plus.

"Well now you can say that you know one and the Head of the Department as well," she smiled again. That was always a plus.

That big smile remained right on Lucas's face. "Great! You'll never go back to whatever it is that you were getting,'' he said. He meant it as a joke. But yes, that cider was the best hands down. Oh, she wanted to repay the favour? "Sure. That's a deal, Addison.'' He wasn't about to turn away such a friendly gesture.

Lucas inclined his his and nodded towards the front of Addison to indicate that the line had moved yet again. "Yes, I can surely say that.'' They were probably on their way to become friends if they were going to be buying each other cider or whatever other drinks it was. "Shall I walk you back to your Department when we're done here?'' Once again, he was showing his Hufflepuff side. That chivalry...

If Addison was learning anything at all about the man behind her it was that he was a happy guy. The smile, laughter and friendliness was all very nice and she couldn't help but laugh at his comment. "A strawberry banana smoothie." That was what she had been going to order before being talking into something else. Trying new things was always good through. His acceptance to her offer of paying him back one day with a drink made her smile. Good he wasn't the type to say no to taking turns. She was only being friendly of course, nothing more. "Good. I wouldn't have taken no for an answer anyhow."

Oops! With all their talking and laughter she hadn't noticed the line move up again and that they were next. Addy stepped to the side a little so that Lucas could move up beside her making it easier for when they needed to order. "Oh, that's alright you don't have to do that! I wouldn't want you late returning back to your own department." The gesture however was very sweet and appreciated.

I wouldn't want you late returning back to your own department." The gesture however was very sweet and appreciated.

Mmmm. Addison's juice of choice sounded wonderful! "Strawberry? You're one of those typical women that like strawberry I reckon?'' he teased her. He was finding it very easy to talk to her. Even easier than it usually was for him to talk to new persons. It was safe to say Lucas was rather comfortable with Addison. "Are you always that bossy with your employees?'' was the next question. He meant it as a joke.

Lucas appreciated the gesture Addison made for him to be able to step up beside her. He placed their orders then regarded her again. "If you're sure. I was hoping to get away from the mountain of work piled on my desk.'' He chuckled. "Not really. I actually love my work so I never mind having to do a lot.'' Then some days weren't even that busy.

Of course her drink of choice was by far the best drink ever! "Yes strawberry. Oh, geez no, not at all. In fact I like many different fruit drinks this is just what I was craving today" Addison laughed shaking her head. This guy was funny and talking with him was naturally easy making the minutes in line breeze on by. Bossy? Her? Nah uh. "You think? Maybe I should be...would work get done more quickly that way?" If he could joke around then so could she.

While Lucas placed the order for their drinks the blonde fell silent for the time being until she was spoken to again. "Nothing wrong with pushing off work for a little while but having it pile up suddenly is always a bother." She loved her work too but not when she was swamped in it for days or weeks on end with no hope of catching a breath or a moment of sunshine. A steady stream of work was what she felt best with.

She loved her work too but not when she was swamped in it for days or weeks on end with no hope of catching a breath or a moment of sunshine. A steady stream of work was what she felt best with.

Lucas laughed. "It's a good thing you have a sense of humour, Addison, otherwise I'm sure I would have been jinxed by now.'' He had found himself laughing a lot more now that he and Brody had settled in. Being around Tallie was good for him too since her always-happy-go-lucky charm had rubbed off on him. "Yes, I think so. Being even more bossy is a good way to get work done and to make everyone in your Department dislike you.''

While they waited on their orders, Lucas continued the conversation. "That is very true. That's why I try to get rid of the work as soon as it comes in. I never like to have Mariel reminding me that I have work to complete.'' No, he preferred to have his Department Head spared of that task.

Addison laughed. If there was anything she had going for her it was a sense of humor for sure. "After growing up with my brother and all the pranks him and his friends used to pull on me and now my son being the same way I sort of have to be." Otherwise things could go very much wrong for all those involved. Plus there was never anything wrong with a little bit of joking around. Now she never said she couldn't be bossy as she very much could be and at times was but not normally. "I try to allow them to do what they need to but sometimes things need to be said and moved along. When there's deadlines that need to be met we can't always play around and take our time."

See now this was the proper way of thinking. If everyone was a bit more like this there would be much less problems. Addison nodded her head in agreement. "That's generally how I feel about things as well. Why put something off until another day if you're able to do it right now." It gave a sense of peace of mind knowing it was finished and it also gave her more free time. A win, win situation.

It gave a sense of peace of mind knowing it was finished and it also gave her more free time. A win, win situation.

Lucas smiled. "It all came into good use then. Though I am sorry you were the receiving end of those pranks. Your son, how old is he?'' He was curious. If her son was around the same age as Brody, then Brody could have a new play friend. "What did I tell you? You're a bossy lady.'' He smiled again, thinking that Addison sounded like a great boss.

Their orders arrived and Lucas collected them with a word of thanks. He handed Addison hers then took a sip of his. Delicious. Simply delicious. He tucked the cup that was for Tallie safely in a small pocket of his satchel. "You can help me do my work and I'll try bossing your department around for the day.'' Would the be a fun thing to do though if it could actually happen?

"Oh, no worries there I got into my own fair share of trouble and took my brother down with me," Addi laughed softly. Growing up around her brother and all his friends had never been a dull time. "Koen is nine, he's a good boy really he just likes to follow in his uncles footsteps." A prankster and somewhat troublemaker in his own right. It also made her think of her husband as well when speaking of her son but that was something she was trying not to focus on right then. "Mm' sometimes a women has to be a bit bossy." Nothing wrong with that unless she was overstepping her power.

The blonde accepted her drink from Lucas with a soft smile and a whispered, "Thanks." Seeing him take a sip she choose to follow suit taking a small sip of her own followed by another. Mmm. This really was good. "Whoa, this is a lovely drink, isn't it?" Such nice flavors and none were overbearing either. Just the way she liked her drinks. "As fun as that sounds I'm not sure I can handle what it is you do." Completely different department and all that. Mysteries was all she knew.

"As fun as that sounds I'm not sure I can handle what it is you do." Completely different department and all that. Mysteries was all she knew.

Lucas couldn't help but laughing softly. "That sure would show your brothers not to mess with you.'' He had gotten the feeling that Addison was a tomboy. "There's nothing wrong with him doing that. He's just having fun but you had better look out. Koen's going to grow up to be a prankster.'' He laughed a little more. "My nephew, Brody, is six years old. Possibly someday they would become friends.''

"You're welcome, bossy woman.'' Lucas knew that he would forever be calling Addison 'bossy'. At least she knew it was a joke and he wasn't poking fun at her. "Yes, it is. I plan to try all the beverages they have here once at least.'' He took another sip. "Oh, I'm responsible for the creation and distribution of league schedules, individual game programs and things like that. I'm also responsible for enforcing rules regarding team mascots and organizing public events.'' Lucas paused. "I hadn't realised how overwhelming that would sound.''

"Not always. Sometimes it made for some interesting arguments," Addison laughed nodding her head. Growing up with her older brother and all his friends around was always a good time. The wise words of Lucas. "This I know. There's no doubt in my mind that he's going to get himself into a fair share of trouble as well." If he's anything like herself and his uncle that is. "That would be nice. I'm sure Koen wouldn't mind at all having a new friend around."

Bossy lady? Rather then get angry Addi simply laughed it off knowing full well that he was teasing her. No harm done at all. "That was my goal as well and now I am one step closer to that." Takes another sip of her drink surprised at how refreshing it truly is. Yum. Listening to Lucas explain his job was a bit surprising. He was in change of a fair amount of different things. Much like her own job in a way. "That sounds rather overwhelming but I'm sure once you get into the swing of things it really isn't as much as it sounds." Or maybe it was worse. Really when it came to other departments she didn't know all that much.

"He'll be having some interesting arguments with his mommy too,'' Lucas said as a reply. "I hope they won't be too heated ones.'' He knew how much he would hate to fight and argue with Brody. "I think that he will but I expect he'll learn some lessons after a while.'' Experience was the best teacher in his opinion. "It's settled then, Addison! We'll have them meet someday.''

Lucas smiled. She and him had exactly the same goal when it came to trying the Bar's juices. "It can be at times. Especially when there's a huge event like the Youth Quidditch tournament we had last year. It was a lot of work but still fun to plan, organise and execute.'' At that moment, the Quidditch guy looked at his watch. "I've got to run, Addison. Those paper work wouldn't get done by themselves. Shall we get going?'' Or was she not heading back to the Ministry now?

Addison laughed quietly. "Oh, there's no doubt in my mind about that." Arguments happened no matter the family. Not everything was agreed upon a hundred percent. Nothing like a little family debate to get things settled. "Everyone learns a lesson sometime it just takes some a bit longer to learn then others." Hopefully her son wasn't as stubborn as she suspected him to already be. "That sounds like a good plan. Maybe a trip to the park or something would be nice. A stress free playdate." That way it wasn't as if she were pushing a younger child on her son as that wasn't the case. She simply wanted the boy to have many friends and not just his guitar.

"All work eventually pays off," Addi replied with a nod of her head. Someday's the work wasn't so bad and others she just prayed for it to end. Like so far today wasn't at all to bad of a day. A nice cold beverage in her hand that was better then expected, a new friend and even possibly a new friend for her son. Not a bad day at all. Seeing Lucas checking his watch brought a smile to her face. "Let's get going. Can't have you being late." Or herself. She still had some things to check up on before the day was through.

There was no doubt that everyone learnt their lessons are different points in life. "You are right about that, Addison.'' Lucas could definitely agree with her on that... he had already been put through that bit in life. "This sounds like a plan. We'll plan the details soon.'' Lucas was surely going to take her up on this.

"That it does. The tournament was actually pulled off without much hitches.'' Lucas had really had a great time doing his leg of the work. Not to mention the other activities he had had to help out with. "Wouldn't want you to be late for bossing anyone around either.'' He laughed softly and then lead them back to the Ministry.

Holding Milo's hand in hers, Daisy made her way towards the juice bar. She was craving some lemonade and he was being a good fiance and indulging her. Not like he wasn't going to get anything out of it since there were loads of different things for him to choose from. Maybe the next time she would get hot chocolate or be daring and try snakeweed tea. What even was snakeweed? Probably some weird kind of plant. They seemed like like making tea out of anything and everything that came out of nature...

"We can also get something to eat if you want." Since they were near the buffet table and it HAD been a while since they last ate. Thinking about food was actually making Daisy rather hungry. Maybe she would get a salad or a sandwich. Or both!

It felt good being out of the office for a little bit; the paperwork had been getting a little bit overwhelming. No matter what he did, the stack seemed to get bigger and bigger...

Milo squeezed his fiancée as they walked into the juice bar area. This was his FAVORITE PLACE at the Ministry. There were many days where he skipped lunch to grab himself a hearty smoothie to satisfy his hunger. He hardly ever ate at the buffet because he was picky when it came to food. He much preferred to either a) bring his own lunch if he had time to make it or b) wait until he got home.

"I'm not hungry," he told Daisy. "I'll buy you some food though if you're hungry." He started to reach for his wallet, which was located in his back pocket, as he looked over the menu at the juice bar. Everything sounded good but, "I'm going to get some snakeweed tea. What would you like?"

It was no surprise that Milo was happy to be here since Daisy was well aware that the juice bar was his favourite part of the Ministry. Honestly he would probably live here if there was an option to do all of his work in the food court. Sadly that could never be so he would have to live off of coming here during lunch time. At least they got to eat together and their Departments were only a few levels apart which was an added bonus even if she wasn't opposed to lifts.

Shaking her head, she wasn't too surprised that he was opting out of getting something from the buffet table. Daisy was definitely less picky when it came to eating. She was also not vegan which could make food options easier for her. Obviously she respected Milo's lifestyle choices... "Well, that would be wonderful. I think I want to have a salad and maybe something to go along with it." Nothing TOO heavy since it was lunch. The snakeweed tea was coming up and there was no way that she would miss out on the opportunity to ask about it since she WAS rather curious. "What is snakeweed? I'm assuming some sort of plant..." Honestly it didn't sound like the most appetizing thing in the world though she was daring enough to try some of his. "I'm going to be boring and have lemonade." The normal kind; exploding lemonade sounded like it would end up all over her clothes and in her hair and she was not willing to deal with that. Not now and not in the future.

Despite the fact that it was still cold outside, Steffie was craving a smoothie. A strawberry banana smoothie, to be exact. Whistling happily to herself, she headed over to the juice bar and quickly ordered her drink, happy that'd she'd beaten the lunch crowd. She was trying to eat healthy again this year, so she hadn't had any coffee - and if she had to wait, she would DEFINITELY be cranky.

She stood off to the side and put a straw in her drink, eagerly taking a sip - and immediately regretting it. BRAIN FREEZE! The blonde frowned and squeezed her eyes shut. Ouch. That was stupid!

Every day, Theophilus strolled his way from his desk to the glorious land of places to get exploding lemonade. Ahhhhhh, his weak spot. Large grin on his face, he ordered THREE of them. Enough to last his walk back to the pile of paperwork he had waiting for him and get him through it until his next 'information run'. Teehee. When he had all three, he popped straws into them all and took a biiiiiiiiig loooooooooooooong slurrrrrrrrrp from the first. Then the second. Then the third.

"AHHHHHH. Perfect." The lemonade tasted like summer to him and the exploding was a surprise every time.

What else was a surprise was the sour face on the pretty young blonde. "If the wind changes, you'll stay like that."

As the pain started to subside in Steffie's brain, she blinked and looked around, realizing that someone was talking to her. She saw a man nearby with...THREE drinks? And she thought SHE was overdoing it by ordering the one...she chuckled and shook her head.

"I'm not worried. YOU should be worried about the sugar coma you'll be going in to from all those drinks," she told him with a smirk.

Ah. Her face changed at the mere sight of him. It was a great thing to have that effect on women and it certainly wasn't something unheard of for this Darcy. Or any Darcy. Great genes. Great hair. Great appetite. With a shrug and a grin, Theophilus slurrrrrrrped from all three of the cups again. "Bet you could bring me to with CPR." Just a huncg he had. No history in that sort of thing. Ahem.

Only at womens sports events.

Wrapping an arm around the three, Theo stuck his hand out for the blonde. "Theophilus. Theophilus Darcy."

Normally Amelia would prefer not to leave level three but since her boss had a special talent for shedding hair around the break room, she had ventured to the food court. After gathering samples from around London she needed a break before analyzing them. Being around No-Majs wasn't really one of her strong sides. Unfortunately her current job description forced her to associate with them, or around them at least. Why couldn't they just stay in their place and behave? Nooo, they had to go around and get contaminated and start setting things on fire. Of course, PART was there to clean up their mess.

Honestly, No-Majs. Shame on you.

Amelia's standing policy was to stay away from caffeine right before potion-brewing, simply because the coffein rush made her impatient. Plus, she was slowly adapting to living in England. And they drank tea here. Warm water with leaves...

Yum.

The young PART employee tapped her foot, reading the menu. Well, they had tea... And juice. Juice was almost like tea, right? Right. Cold tea. She'd settle for a juice then.

She was so getting used to being British. Crumpet, anyone?

Daichi was tired and in a desperate need of some me-time. His work load in the media was overloading, he had a hard time writing speeches,was worried about his relationship and his well-being of his son. And to top that off he had the extra worries of the Hogwarts students as a Board of Governor.

Whatever was going on at the school, Daichi had decided to worry about it during the meeting later. For now, he would get something to drink and try to put his worries to the back of his mind.

Not that it was that easy to do...

With a heavy sigh, the man sat down on one of the chairs after getting a mango fruit smoothie and looked around. Secretly hoping for a distraction.
