Meeting allies (Tony, open)

[Óisín ó Maoilriain]

Óisín had been called to the Ministry to meet some of the professional Aurors. Since he didn't know any of them Óisín thought it was in his best interest to show up. Óisín made his way to the Ministry of magic and took the employee entrance. Making his way to the elevator the young crimson haired wizard pushed a button and waited as the elevator moved. He stopped on the second floor which was the Department Of Magical Law Enforcement. Here Óisín worked as an Auror. He wasn't a fully-fledged Auror but with proper training he could be.

Óisín was wearing slightly fancy robes, fashioned after Albus Dumbledore's. He had a small pouch on his belt which had an extension charm put on it to increase it's carrying size. Óisín's wand resting in his hand, waiting to be used.

Óisín made his way to the headquarters of the Aurors and saw nobody was there yet. He saw that he had time to kill and wondered what to do. Óisín wondered what kind of people the Aurors would be. He sat down in a chair and pulled out a spell book from his pouch. Óisín didn't cast any spells but he did start reading about them. It was his way of passing the time. Óisín was focusing intently on his book, not looking at his surroundings anymore. The world outside his book became a blur. He was so focused on his book that somebody could have walked in a shouted in his ear with him noticing. Óisín kept reading his book silently memorizing every word. He did break his concentration once, to glance at a clock before going back to his book. He wondered when the other people would show up and wondered what they would be like.

[Tony Redgrave]

Tony walked in, and the first thing he noticed is some kid sitting at his desk. He unzipped his jacket and walked over, noticing this kid was dead to the world.
After staring at him for a moment, he aggravatedly swatted the book out of the kid's hands. "So.. you do realize you're sitting at my desk, right?" He glanced at his Foe Glass, which showed no clear image, so he knew this kid was more or less safe.
"You must be an Auror hopeful..." he said, pulling another chair over from Charles's desk. "So, did you go to Hogwarts?" he asked.

He knew it was earlier than hell, close to seven. Due to the dress robes, he was looking to formally visit, and it did not seem as though this kid had seen many full moons. He awaited an answer from the kid, the kid's book in his left hand.

[Óisín ó Maoilriain]

Óisín started at his hands for a moment after his book had been swatted away. He turned his attention to the man and spoke while standing up. "I wasn't done with that" Óisín said. His voice seemed robotic, no emotion in it. "Sorry about sitting at your desk" Óisín said. It was hard to tell if he meant it or not because of his voice but he did mean it. As the man spoke Óisín nodded. "Yes sir I am. My name is Óisín ó Maoilriain, at your service" Óisín said introducing himself. Once again he nodded at the man's question. "Yes sir, I was in Gryffindor" Óisín said.

Óisín pulled out his wand and muttered 'accio spell book'. The spell book flew into his hand and Óisín promptly put it back in his pouch. "You are a full-fledged Auror right? I hope to be able to learn something from you Óisín said bowing his head slightly. He waited to see if this man had other questions for him and wondered what the rest of the day had in store for him.

[Tony Redgrave]

Tony eyed the kid for a second, knowing he must be here to sign up to be an Auror. "Well, you can learn from me, but I can't make you an Auror. Benson would be the man to ask about that. Besides, it's three years tops of training and such before you can be the Blade of the Ministry." he said. He held back a smirk at the last comment, once said to him by his colleague Ochoa.
He took out his wand and spun it like a drummer would a drumstick. "So, a Gryf, eh? I didn't go to Hogwarts, and Beauxbatons merely separated us by gender. No group separation, really." he stopped twirling his wand, seeing other Aurors come in to their desks. "Tell you what. You want to learn? I'll see if I can locate Ochoa or Benson. Until then, sit tight. You want a coffee?" he asked. Being the usual harsh individual, he was kind, considering the hell he went through the week before. But that's a different story. He stood slowly. "I'll get one anyways, you can follow if you want. I'll give you the grand tour." he waved his hand at another colleague, and started towards the door to the office.

[Óisín ó Maoilriain]

Óisín listened as the man spoke. "I'd be honored to learn from you" Óisín said bowing his head a bit. Blade of the ministry had a nice ring to it but Óisín preferred blade of the people, after all that was who he was fighting for, not the ministry.

Óisín didn't know much about other wizarding schools so he just listened as the man spoke. Before Óisín could say anything the man had already said he was getting coffee. Óisín followed the man and glanced at his wand. "Sir, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of wand do you have" Óisín asked as he walked behind the man. He was just curious about what other wizards wielded. Óisín nodded his head a bit as they passed the other people. He waited for the man to say something and fingered his own wand slightly.

[Tony Redgrave]

Tony looked at his wand, grinning. "See, there is an interesting story about this one. As you know, they usually use durable wood along with a core made of a component of a magical creature. Most commonly Phoenix Tailfeathers, Dragon Heartstrings, and Unicorn Hair. Then there are others, like the Headmaster of Hogwarts has Veela hair, and another wizard I know actually has the hair of Vlad Tepes in his wand, though getting it was a challenge all in itself. Anyways, mine comes from a Roc, a legendary giant bird that flies the skies, higher than Muggle airplanes can go. It comes to rest once a year, in December, on top of Mount Olympus, which is where this feather was acquired by Ollivander ages ago. The Wand he made from it never chose a master, so he feared it to be his first and only failed work. That is, until I showed up in his shop before going to france, as an infant. The stick flew out of the box and into my small hand, much to my then foster parent's surprise. It's been handy, and when I was afflicted with an illness that my wand negatively impacted, it would dull it's power as not to hurt me. The wand chooses the Wizard, and this one chose me." he closed his story, holding it up and smiling.

[Óisín ó Maoilriain]

Óisín listened to the man's story and paid attention to every detail. It was an interesting story much more so than his own. All Óisín had done was walk into the store try every wand only to have none of them work and then the owner brought him this wand, he tried it, and it worked. "Interesting wand. My wand is fifteen inches. The core is rather interesting. It has a phoenix feather, a dragon heartstring and a chimera scale. It is made out of rigid hornbeam wood. Stubborn thing really, but powerful if you can control it. I got it at Ollivander's shop when I was eleven only because every other wand in the shop refused me" Óisín said holding out his wand. It had been an interesting experience learning to control his wand. Óisín put his wand away and continued following Tony.

Óisín took in the sights and started reading and memorizing everything that was on the walls, all the rules and posters and whatnot. It was a pretty good tour so far but Óisín wondered what else the Ministry had to offer. "What are we going to do today after the tour" Óisín asked. He didn't want to sound ungrateful or try to rush Tony, he was merely curious.

[Nerefon Ternavin]

Nerefon had entered the office and it seemed like no one was here but when she looked around there were two coats there. She thought that they probably went to go get something since not everyone was there yet. She went over and put her coat up and went to her own desk and took out parchment and Quill and started writing a letter to her aunt.

After she had gotten her letter done she decided not to go get coffee and just decided to stay put and wait for the other members to arrive. Even though she was fairly new, well she had only been here since she was 17, that was at the end of her 7th year. So now she wasn't to new but she still had a lot of learning to do. She loved to learn and that helped her get into the office of magical law Enforcement in the first place. She loved it none the less and it kept her real busy with everything going on and her mother would have wanted her to join and become an Auror just like her. Well, Nerefon didn't regret it either and she knew her uncle didn't like it one bit but then again he never cared for her.

Nerefon opened one of the drawers of her desk and pulled out a magazine and began to flip through it waiting for more orders. She had been waiting for a new assignment for a while now and hopefully she would get one soon.

[Tony Redgrave]

Tony had toured the kid around, pointing out the various things of interest, and grinned. "Well, first thing's first. We go back to my desk, grab our coats, and go on a patrol." he handed the kid a cup of water as they made their way back to the offices, Tony walking in and seeing Nerefon sitting at her desk.
Placing his fingers up to his lips, he whistled shrilly. "Oi!" he called over to her. He didn't know her well, but knew her enough to pick on her occasionally. "You're here early." he said, nodding in greeting as he walked past to his desk, putting on his red trenchcoat.
After another moment, he stretched and grabbed a couple of trinkets for his return to Hogwarts, and nodded to Óisín. "Ok. Let's go. You're invited too, Nerefon." Tony said, nodding towards her. He buttoned his jacket up and started on his way out, not waiting for either of them.

[Nerefon Ternavin]

Nerefon looked up at the whistle and saw Tony walk in with a kid roughly her age maybe younger and she was curious in why a kid was here but then again they, the aurors, were always recruiting new kids. Took a good three years to become one but that was the thrill of it, at least for her.

"I had nothing better to do and thought I should come in earlier then normal." said Nerefon as Tony put his Red trench coat on.

"Where are you going?" asked Nerefon as she got up and got her coat and quickly put it on. She was starting to plan on going to Diagon Alley for a little bit to get a new book of advanced spells but was curious none the less to wonder where the two of them were going.

[Tony Redgrave]

((Oison, I'm leaving you there for now. Pop back in when you're ready.))

No one knew about his recent... "promotion."

He grinned. "Just to places. I may get you ice cream if you're good." he said.
Oison opted to stay behind for a bit, and Tony nodded, looking towards the front, continuing out towards the road. He didn't know Nerefon that well, just that she was a talented Auror. It's going to be tough running a department when you don't know anyone in it.

He continued down the road as a man ran past them, a woman screaming that her satchel was taken. Tony turned and held his hand out, the man stopping in his tracks and falling flat on his face, body bound.
"Accio, satchel." Tony muttered, and the satchel flew into his hand. He handed it back to the lady, who praised him, despite him continuing to walk, ignoring her.

"So tell me, Nere. How much do you like being an Auror?" he asked randomly.

[Nerefon Ternavin]

Nerefon fallowed and kept quiet when Tony did the summoning charm to retrieve the poor women's satchel. She thought it pretty funny when the man fall but in all seriousness she knew it was part of the job. Nerefon was thoughtful of the question Tony had asked her.

"I love the job. It's great, really. Even though it's tough I still enjoy it none the less because of the challenges it throws at you. The challenges is one of the favorite parts of mine that this place gives me and to tell you the truth, I wouldn't change anything about it." said Nerefon who had a thoughtful look on her face.

Ever since she had joined the force she had been giving her work all she had. She wasn't the highest Auror but that didn't bother her in the least. All she cared about was helping other people and doing the right thing by fighting the dark forces of the world. Her mother had always told her that no matter what she did, always put more then 100 percent into it and always do your best.

"I have always loved this job no matter what. I will always give over 100 percent into it and will always do my best and to do what is right." said Nerefon glancing at tony as she ruffled her short teal colored hair that she chose for the day.

[castiellynch]

Castiel Lynch emerged from coffee shop with a large java in his hand. He had spent most of the night prowling the streets, watching and waiting for anything to happen. It had however, been a quiet night for once and the most trouble had so far been a light black arts dealer trying to do a deal with an Irish witch over some strange glowing and humming tea-cups. That matter had been taken care of easily… and after twelve hours of searching the streets he finally felt the time for a coffee. Was it daylight out already? This realization hit him as stepped into the street. He had no idea what time it was, his attention had been engrossed easily by his job.
His blue eyes caught the image of two figures approaching toward him. He smiled slightly in a polite manner and waved them over before leaning against the wall.

[Nerefon Ternavin]

Nerefon had noticed the waving of a boy almost her age and she nodded to him and went over to see what he wanted. She was never careless she always had her wand in hand just in case she got jumped and she always made sure that she was able to pull her wand out. She had motioned for Tony to fallow for the guy seemed to want to talk to them but near the wall.

"Hi Castiel. How are you?" asked Nerefon as she approached recognizing Castiel when she got nearer, she didn't know him to well but knew them by name but not personally. She just never really dared get to personal or close to anyone just in case they all of a sudden vanished or something.

"Busy night? Anything interesting?" asked Nerefon as she put her other hand in her coat pocket and looked closely at Castiel who seemed to relax just a little.

[Tony Redgrave]

There is never interesting here. Geez, woman, look around you. Tony chuckled as he approached Castiel. He nodded slowly to Castiel, and looked onward, at his favorite little cafe. Lovely Strawberry Sundaes. Well, kids, how about I christen our meeting with some Ice Cream? You need to try the sundaes here. he motioned towards the cafe, slowly starting on his way. I need to discuss with you two something anyways, perhaps something that will be a little friendlier to your pocketbooks.
Was he offering them a raise? A promotion? Hard telling what was going on in his head. He was the sort of man who, if he had something planned, or otherwise schemed, he wasn't going to tell anyone for sure. But then again, if one would pay attention to other happenings and going-ons, they would know exactly what was planned.
But this is not a book, this is real life. Shame on you for thinking otherwise.
Tony would walk to the cafe, hopefully followed by his coworkers and (in retrospect) employees, as he prepared to make them an offer they couldn't refuse. Or they could. It was up to them, it is a free country for the most part.
