Department of Magical Games and Sports

Main Offices: level seven of Ministry of Magic Headquarters

The most relaxed department (posters for favourite Quidditch teams are found tacked to the wall in its entrance corridor, although it should be noted that some Aurors have also tacked up similar posters in their cubicles) deals with such sports-related pastimes as organising the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament.

-Organizes the Quidditch World Cup final and also the Triwizard Tournament
- this Department was formed in 1750
- responsible for hiding Quidditch from Muggle eyes
- British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters
- Official Gobstones Club
- Ludicrous Patents Office

This is the booth for each of those jobs listed. You can give out pens, brochures, pamphlets and other things. Use these to ask questions and stuff, so you can have an idea.

Maible wasn't sure why she'd come to this thing, because she was only a third year and it wasn't like she even knew what she wanted to do after graduation. But here she was. And there was...

"Dad?"

She knew he worked for the Ministry, but she'd no idea he was going to be at this thing. So even though she really had no interest in Games and Sports as a career, she made her way over to the table.

"Dad? What are you doing here?"

Matthew had hoped that someone other than himself would be chosen to work the Hogwarts career fair. He'd managed to keep his secret for several years and working that particular job was just asking for all of his skeletons to spill out of the closet. However, he couldn't exactly explain his situation to the head of the departement, so he had no other choice when he was told that he would spend several days at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

One one hand, he was excited about seeing his girls, especially Ashleigh... and though he didn't have as much of an opportunity to see Maible, he always looked forward to spending time with her as well. On the other hand, however, he was terrified of Ashleigh finding out about Maible. He didn't think that it would bother Maible as much -she'd put up with so much, after all- but he knew that it would crush Ashleigh. She would never understand being lied to for all these years.

"Dad? What are you doing here?"
His back was to the girl who'd spoken to him but he knew who it was. Just stay ( ... )

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO maible December 21 2006, 17:35:47 UTC

Maible beamed at her father as she reached out to hug him. She wasn't at all bothered by the fact that the table was in the way, because her dad was here and she was really glad to see him. It didn't happen nearly often enough.

"Oh.. I think I'm a bit young for career day, still," she mumbled when she pulled away. "But I saw you over here and I had to come and say hello. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?!"

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO ashleigh_barton December 21 2006, 18:12:46 UTC

Matthew returned the hug, squeezing her tightly from across the table. He knew that he shouldn't linger there. He knew that Ashleigh could come by and see but he couldn't force himself to pull away too quickly.

When they pulled apart, he was absolutely beaming. He did love it when Maible gave him affection. Honestly, he didn't feel that he deserved it from her... and when she hugged him, it felt like a little ray of sunshine directly from heaven.

He smiled when she said that she was too young for career day. She did have quite a while before she would have to decide on such things.

"I didn't know until yesterday," he offered, with a smile. Okay, that was a lie... but we're not keeping track of those. "I just go where they tell me to go," he continued.

He hadn't told either of his daughters. Honestly, he'd hoped to be reassigned at the last minute.

"Still happy to see me?" he questioned with a charming grin. "Even without advance warning?"

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO maible December 21 2006, 18:35:35 UTC

"Always," Maible replied without hesitation. Notice or not, seeing her father was always something worth celebrating and she couldn't help beaming back at him a little bit.

She had believed his lie easily enough, because it did sound plausible. Besides, it didn't matter much that she hadn't known. What mattered was that he was here and she was getting to see him!

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO - Day 1 - Fri. Feb. 24, 06 - 9:30am (1st break) ashleigh_barton December 21 2006, 20:15:43 UTC

((*edits the time so that we can keep up with things*))

He smiled at her when she told him that she was always happy to see him.

He really, honestly loved the girl, even if he had always put Ashleigh first. Maible's mother loved her... he knew this. Ashleigh didn't have that; Matthew was all she had. He couldn't ruin that for her. It wasn't the best situation for the younger of his daughters but he had to do what he had to do.

"You're on break?" he asked her. "Do you have a class after this?"

Matthew didn't have either of his girl's schedules memorized but he found himself wishing that he did. Maybe he would have more of a chance of keeping them separate if he did.

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO - Day 1 - Fri. Feb. 24, 06 - 9:30am (1st break) maible December 22 2006, 08:56:17 UTC

Maible was, of course, oblivious to all of this. Just like she was to a lot of things. It wouldn't have mattered anyway. She would be thrilled to have a sister if she knew, though she'd be less than thrilled about the way everything was being kept a secret.

Luckily, though, she was blissfully ignorant of the situation.

"They're letting us out of one class to come to the fair, but then I'm having lunch with Tobias and I have Charms after," she told him, all but beaming as she mentioned her lunch date. Of course, her dad wouldn't know who Tobias was, but she was thrilled to be having lunch with a boy and he should be thrilled, too, right?

"I'm completely free after Charms, though," she added, hoping he'd take that hint and want to spend a little more time together. She hadn't seen him over Christmas at all, really, and while he'd sent nice gifts, she really just wanted some quality time with her dad.

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO - Day 1 - Fri. Feb. 24, 06 - 9:30am (1st break) ashleigh_barton December 23 2006, 03:04:20 UTC

Matthew flashed a smile at his daughter as she talk about classes and... a boy. Ashleigh hadn't really talked about boys until this year and then it wasn't boys it was one boy. Ed. He was sure that she'd had boyfriends before the Slytherin that had seemed to capture her heart but she'd not talked about them or wanted to bring them home for a visit ( ... )

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO - Day 1 - Fri. Feb. 24, 06 - 9:30am (1st break) maible December 23 2006, 05:49:00 UTC

Maible blushed as she nodded. "Yes, Daddy.. well, I think it's a date anyway." She blushed slightly again, because what if she'd misread things and it wasn't? "I mean, I don't know. He asked me to have lunch with him, but he didn't say date and..." Pause. "It's horribly embarrassing to talk about this."

Talking about boys with DAD. Yeah, that was weird.

Her eyes lit up as he asked about dinner. "Yes, that would be brilliant!" she told him, grinning from ear to ear. "Should I meet you right here? Or the entrance hall?"

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO - Day 1 - Fri. Feb. 24, 06 - 9:30am (1st break) ashleigh_barton December 23 2006, 06:47:26 UTC

Matthew grinned at her when she began blushing and acting quite uncomfortable. He imagined that it could be one of those things that you didn't talk about with your dad but he did want both of the girls to know that they could come to him if they needed to.

"Then I'll not embarrass you any more," he told her. "You just let me know if things go okay, though. I'd hate to have to kill a boy."

He was teasing, of course, and his smile should've given that away. However, it didn't change the truth of the statement.

It made Matthew happy to see her face light up with the prospect of having dinner with her. Honestly, he was lucky that she didn't hate him for the way things had always been between them. "You can meet me in the Entrance Hall," he grinned. "Around six-thirty?"

If they met there, he had less of a chance at getting caught as they exited the castle... less room to cover.

"You'll have to dress warm for the walk," he told her with a smile, "even if we apparate part of the way, we'll have to get off of school grounds first."

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO - Day 1 - Fri. Feb. 24, 06 - 9:30am (1st break) maible December 25 2006, 02:48:41 UTC

"Oh, Daddy." Maible laughed and blushed. She was sure he wouldn't have any need for killing anyone and it was a bit embarrassing to talk about. But also kind of cute.

She nodded at his suggestion of a meeting time and place. "Of course, Dad. I'll dress warm." She might have rolled her eyes if her mother had pulled that protective bit, but this was her Dad and she didn't see him often enough for it to get old from him. She was just really glad he was here!

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO crispin_bree December 22 2006, 05:49:08 UTC

Crispin stood behind the booth waving and smiling at passerby. Maybe one would stop and ask him an obscure question? That would be pleasant. He chuckled to himself. Reaching down he picked up a quill, one of the many they were handing out, and examined it for a second before he began twirling it between his fingers.

"Ah, they don't make them like they used to," he said to no one in particular.

Re: TABLE D: MINISTRY TWO crispin_bree December 22 2006, 06:32:10 UTC

Crispin stopped twirling the quill when one Jamie Kendrick appeared. Chuckling at the boy's comment, he pointed the quill in his direction. "Right you are, Mr. Kendrick, right you are. I rather miss mine. Although, not so good to leave them in your pockets while swimming..." He mock-cringed then smiled.

"So you want know about the most exciting branch of the Ministry of Magic do you? Well, I hate to break it to you I don't know anything. They just put me in charge 'cause I look great in the suit," he said with a smirk while straightening his tie. He hoped the boy caught his humour.
