“Ginny!” Kiara exclaimed with a warm smile. Moving over and giving her good friend a hug. “Thanks.” She then stated taking the piece of parchment form Ginny’s hand. “How’s the training going? I haven’t had tome to lurk about the Ministry halls as of late, what with the new school year starting and all that.” She then stated as she turned and then opened up the letter to read over its contents. “Looks like I might have my hands full this year with the new students, I hear that we’ve got a few Slytherins who still think they are above the rest because of their ‘pure’ breeding and such.” She giggled slightly, not a sound often heard from Kiara, but all the same, it was a sign that she was, for perhaps the first time in a long while, not stressed over happening in the world.
“So, how’s things treating you at the Ministry? Mr. Johnson giving you much trouble?” She winked.
Mr. Johnson, Max’s father had taken control of the ministry after the death of Dumbledore and since then things have been heading upward for their side, the dark forces being finally put away or otherwise disposed of in a timely fashion. He, unlike his predecessors didn’t care what the people thought of what he did, so long as things got done with little to no harm to the public, he was happy. A gentle man with a strong hand was the way people saw him. Of course, he was prone to picking on Max’s friends, pushing them more than the rest of the ‘new blood’ coming into the Ministry. For this however, there was a purpose, though none too many knew of it.
