Craig laughed at the American Minister mistaking Chad as English. Served him right. Craig had stuff on Chad that would be the talk of the wizarding world, but he wasn't one to blackmail. Craig just hung around to see how everything was going. And then someone arrived in colors he was very familiar with.

"Well there's a jackaroo that takes after my own heart!" Craig said in his Australian accent cheerfully as he walked over to the boy sporting Australian colors. Craig himself was sporting a Thundelarra Thunderers pin. Craig was actually a fan of pretty much an Australian team. "G'day mate! How was you floo journey?" Craig wanted as much feedback as possible if he was to improve his division.

Miles looked up at the man who came over and he grinned, "Hello. Not nearly exciting enough I'm sad to say. We need like...I dunno...danger...excitement...that's just boring. Woulda taken my broom but I was told I couldn't." Looking back toward where Fia would appear followed by *grumbles* Bothari he then looked back at the man, "My friend and bodyguard should be here shortly. What's your name?"

He was just so excited this was the first Quidditch Cup he'd seen in like...well ever. Maybe he could find a way to lose Bothari. The man was enough to drown anyone's happiness.

"I guess being surrounded my flames can be rather dull," Craig said with a laugh. He was very happy to hear the chap's honesty. "And I would be Craig Wickham, division head of the Floo Network Authority." Craig could hint reference of a bodyguard wasn't something the boy was looking forward to. "Did you travel by a regular floo fireplace or perhaps Portable Floo Fireplaces?" Craig didn't see the boy's exact arrival, but the more input the better.

"But they don't hurt you! So yes...no danger, no thrill and therefore...no excitement." Miles grinned again and held out his hand toward the man as he introduced himself, "Pleasure to meet you. My names Lord Miles Vorkosigan." As much as he hated saying that out loud he knew they'd probably find out quickly since Bothari had made sure he had Miles' id as well as his own. "Hope what I said didn't offend you. I just like a little adrenaline." As he asked about his fireplace he laughed, "Regular floo of course. Dad uses it a lot sometimes if he doesn't feel like apparating or having the driver take him wherever." Turning around he tried to look at himself and laughed, "I don't have any on me do I?"

Fia floo'd in behind Miles, quickly dusting herself off. A powdery substance began to form around her as if she were in a cloud of smoke. Her eyes drifted around the tent until they finally landed on Miles. He of course was already being checked in and those colours? "Eeeek!" He was, of course, cheering on the team opposite of her. Boys will be boys.

She tossed her hair to the side and began to twist it around until someone came over to where she was standing. Her identification was in her pocket and ready for whomever came up to her at that point. This was going to be so much fun as she had already enjoyed their summer so far. First Miles' house, then their summer house and now....QUIDDITCH!

"Boy, you just move as fast as you can to get thru this security," she teased Miles as she walked up to him, playfully bumping him. "You ready for a good game?"

Miles turned his attention away from the delightful man he had been speaking to when he felt Fia bump into him and her speak. "Actually I haven't been through yet we were just discussing the floo network." Looking past Fia's shoulder he groaned and looked at Fia. "We need to lose him....after he gets me through security. He's got my id."

Grinning he pushed into Fia playfully and waved his Australian coloured flag, "Of course and I'm going to win. We should make a bet." He smirked and raised an eyebrow playfully at Fia.

Fia turned back to where Bothari was standing and grinned. Nope. They weren't talking about him. Nope. Not at all. Tee hee. "You think he would hold my ID too?" JOKE! Only kidding.

And then he waved that awful flag. She rolled her eyes and shook her head in a mocking way. "You have a huge ego that needs to be corrected," she spoke with pride as she reached for his hand, wrapping her fingers around his. "And you read my mind. We do need to bet on this one. Especially so I can have the moment to rub it in your face." Wow. She seemed to have high hopes for England and she only hoped that she was right.

"Any ideas?" She could think of one or two.

"Of course not," Craig said as he shook Miles hand. Wow, this boy was of importance, that's for sure. "Well, I will try to add a little tingle or something to a special batch!" Craig laughed. Craig looked in his pocket and pulled out a pouch and threw it at the kid. "Here you go mate," Craig said with a smile. "This is a PFF, free of charge. You can travel wherever you want with out having to worry of splintering in the ways of apparation and the instructions are inside." Craig had a few extra PFFs in his pockets for people who might be interested. He wanted to spread the word as much as possible.

Miles was quickly accompanied by a young lady and took a step back and let them have their privacy. He couldn't help but chuckle as he overheard their plans to escape, Craig could only assume Miles' bodyguard. Oh, to be young again.

Miles laughed and gave Fia a shrug, "I'm sure he would. If you asked nicely." He grinned and looked back toward Bothari as the lurking man just watched over them. "Your right...he does need to lighten up.

"Never heard you complaining before," he said with a smirk and ran his thumb over her fingers. "You wish. Australia is going to win then you'll have to do my bidding." Laughing he looked at her and raised an eyebrow, "I can think of a few...."

Miles' attention was caught by the mans again and he composed himself. Right...in public. Laughing he nodded, "That would be great!" Catching whatever was thrown at him he could almost feel Bothari's sprint over toward him before the breathing down his neck. Rolling his eyes he looked up at the brute and shook his head, "Down boy." He smirked as he could practically hear his teeth grating and looked down at the thing he was thrown. "Oh wow! This is great!" He could use it in so many ways.... Hmmm... Can we say new toy for term this year. "Thanks mate." Turning toward Fia he grinned and held up the portable floo fireplace with a smirk. Oh yes...lots of fun with this. Looking around he scratched his head and then looked back at the man. "You don't know where we can get checked in do you? I kinda want to take a look at the sites." And see how easily it would be do ditch Bothari.

"That's security's department, I'm sure one of the blokes will pop up around here somewhere," Craig said in delight. He was happy the young man seemed to like the PFF. Youth were the way of the future, maybe he'd spread the word around Hogwarts. He looked at the young lady, "I don't know if you should bet against Australia, they're pretty fierce, I myself, had a chance for playing for them, if I hadn't broke my wrist." Craig shook his head. He didn't mind working for the ministry, but he wished he was playing for his homeland. "How 'bout this, a galleon to which ever one of you is right?! Find me after the game to claim your prize! All I ask is for you to spread the word about PFFs!" That seemed like a fair enough trade. A little publicity never hurt.

Awwww! And if she didn't want to ask Bothari nicely then what? Fia looked back at the guard once again and giggled under her breath, but suddenly inhaled quickly and with some noise behind it. GASP!

"Do your bidding?" She raised a brow as her nostrils flared and her grin was nothing but a smirk. And then with his other statement, her free hand flew up to her mouth as yet another giggle was heard. "I bet you can," she mumbled under her breath then turned towards the man that Miles was speaking to before.

Ohhhh Miles had a new toy and she knew her best friend and boyfriend too well to know that he was going to definitely get some usage out of the new PFF. She kept quiet as they began speaking to one another, listening to their conversation until she heard words that raised her eyebrows.

"Oh really now," Fia raised a brow towards the gentleman as she was now being tugged at a bet. This was going to be fun! She could handle the PFF news spreading without any problems and the great thing was, she was on the Quill as well. "Sounds like a bet to me!'

Miles look at Fia as he heard her gasp and he raised an eyebrow, "That's right. Do my bidding," he teased. Smirking he elbowed her softly as she giggled and mumbled under her breath. "Shhh." Big bulky guard dog RIGHT behind them. Dur.

Looking behind him he grinned at Bothari who was pretending not to notice them though he was now about a foot from them. "Bothari why don't you go find some nice security people so we get get a move on."

Miles watched as his bodyguard walked off knowing he'd be back very quickly. As the guy started talking to Fia he laughed and stuck his tongue out at her teasingly, "So there. AUSTRALIA FOR THE WINNNNNNNN!!!" He yelled laughing hard and backing away from Fia with his arms raised waiting for her retaliation. As the man spoke again he looked at him thoughtfully. He didn't need the money but it was an interesting offer. A chance to get to meet some people. And then Fia jumped in and he grinned. "Seems like you have a deal mister."

Craig did admire this guy's spirit. He smiled at the young sheila who seemed interested as well. "Excellent! I will see you two after the match! I hope you do enjoy the match!" Craig pulled out another PFF and handed it to the young lady. "I do hope you like Pink, because that's what color the flames change when you use it!" Craig said as he looked around. "Hmm...maybe I can try and find security for you so you can pass through." And with that Craig went in search for the two men that helped check him in.

Fia rolled her eyes once again in a mocking fashion. "England is my choice and my home," she grinned as she loved a good bet. This man was just cool in her book, although PINK was not her favorite color, she would make an exception just for him. "Thank you for your help," she smiled at the worker then turned back to Miles.

"We are sooo going to have to try that think out," she said, knowing that Miles had already thought about that from the first time he heard about it. The thing was, would they be able to use it away from Bothari.

Laura had arrived at the Qudditch place through the portkey way and walked towards the Fllo Network.she was to be there with other collegues of hers from the British Division to welcome the foriegn ministers.she was getting anxious as she walked and just then she saw the division head Jacob.she breathed a sigh of relief.at least he would be there for sometime.Laura was like clueless what do.she was getting nervous.she patted her tailored skirt once more as she walked towards Jacob
Hello Jacob.i have come here for welcoming the guests.have Eteria and others arrived yet? she asked him
and have the Ministers come here? she asked nervously her hands clasped tightly.she looked around and saw Aurors doing their job.she thought maybe she will be checked again so she kept her International Magical Cooperation,British Seats ID ready.

She was hoping that there was at least someone here. She needed to talk to someone from security, and then she would be sure to leave things with Jacob, she also needed to make sure he was here first. She was just going around, checking on things right now, and then she could go back, get Skye, and check on things again.

"Hello," she called, not knowing exactly who she was looking for. "Who is the security person in charge here?" she asked at large to the handful of people she saw around.

Laura was talking to Jacob when she saw the Department head Lillian hunter
Jacob,its Mrs.Hunter she said
lets go and meet her she said and walked to Lillian Hunter.
Hello Mrs.Hunter.glad to see you here Laura said.she had noticed some change in their department head and she smiled.she knew what it was.

"Hello, Laura," Lili said to the woman who worked in British Seats. "I'm glad to be here," she said simply. "How are things going here?" She asked. "Do you happen to know where the security person is here?" She asked Laura. She really needed to talk to him, and the sooner she did that, the sooner she could get back to get Skye.

Eteria had already arrived via Portkey so she was cleared by the Security there. She spotted Jacob & Laura along with Liliana over at the Special Transport Floo Network. She walked over and held the grin on her face as she greeted her co-worker, boss and boss' boss. "So you guys ready to do this!? I'm pretty excited, I'm not even going to lie."

Fine Mrs.Hunter. she said
actually i have just come and i havent come across any security personnel yet.is there anything that you would like me to go and check from the security personnel? she asked.as she saw her department head in a hurry.


Hey there Eteria.yeah pretty much excited but terribly nervous Laura said looking at Eteria nervously.this was the first time she was attending the QWC and as a ministry worker and she hoped she didnt mess things up.

Mmm..he could see some young guys who looked like students around there. Why they did choose this transportations? It may give some incovenience to foreign guest and players. Since Numble, his employee had gone for a short tea break, Brian came into the spot to take care of security checkings.

Alright, alright!

"Excuse me guys! Please get yourself cleared by security first and enjoy the game" he put his wand on the side of his throat to say it aloud.

Seeing that Brian needed help, Chris went to him dutifully after he saw him when he apparated at the area. "Hey Brian. Do you um, need help?" asked Chris as he smiled. He glanced around and noticed that there are numerous people around at the area. "And Becca? she might need you." said Chris concernedly. He did think that Becca might need his husband because of her condition.

Laura looked around at the call. Security Personnel.she walked up to him and then gave her International Magical Co-operation,British Seats Division ID.
I am from British Seats Division she said
actually we have come in here for welcoming the foreign Ministers and our department head Mrs.Lillian Hunter would like to speak to the Security Head she said politely

"Hey, Chris," Brian smiled back, "Umm..well, I've heard some students are using floo network too." His eyes glanced at one or two young people before returned to him, "Yeah. She's been so scared lately.." he sighed but quickly distracted to another voice behind him.

Checking on the ID, the girl had provided to him, Brian smiled at the young lady. "Thanks for making my job easy, Miss. You're cleared now." he nodded, "Oh..sure. Where's Lili?" he looked around for her, wondering how quickly she had been resumed her work after given birth to baby Skye. Skye Brian Hunter!

The head of security was as good as anyone from security she figured, she did not want to take up anymore of his time. She'd taken quite a bit of it in the last couple days.

She listened as Laura started talking to him, and shook her head with a smile on her face. "I'm pretty sure Br... Mr. Lee is pretty much sick of me now," she said obviously joking. It felt weird calling him Mr. Lee, but as she was not sure what he wished for his employees to call him she figured it was better safe then sorry. "Laura has it right," she said to Brian, "there is a group of employees from the British Seats division in my department that are here waiting to welcome the Ministers. I just wanted to come personally and make sure that they did not have any problems here so that the people in charge knew why they were here."


As she was standing there she spotted her boss as well, and realized that there was something that she wanted to asked Minister Taylor. Moving in her direction, as she was not that far away, and it did not make it seem as if she was leaving the other two, she went towards the minister. "Minister Taylor?" she said, almost like a question in case she did not want to be bothered. "I was wondering if I could possibly ask you a question about when the match actually starts."
