{{ViljaM|23:07, June 9, 2020 (UTC)|It had taken a lot of surprising hyping up from Mikaela (and her new bosses) for Vilja to show up, some minutes before her scheduled interview. Like any teenager, she was nervous, her stomach churning uneasily as she sat near the door, waiting for Sarah's secretary to let her know she could go in. She shakes her leg, trying to quell her nerves a little, but nothing works.}}{{Sarah|Sarah=She glances at her watch, noticing it's time for her next appointment seconds before her secretary opens her office door to let the student in. There hadn't been much interest in internships of late, but Vilja seemed enthusiastic enough to make up for several uninterested students. Quickly she pulls Vilja's application from her file cabinet before standing to greet the young lady. "Miss Mäkinen, I presume?" she says, smiling courteously and offering her hand to shake. "Please have a seat. How are you?"|time=03:23, June 11, 2020 (UTC)}}{{ViljaM|05:26, June 11, 2020 (UTC)|Vilja smiles, but it's awkward and strained as her nerves noticeably overwhelm her again. Still, she swallows and powers through, shaking Sarah's hand before taking a seat. "Yes, that's me. Good morning, ma'am," she confirms, trying her best to steel her nerves and sound confident. "I'm doing well. A bit nervous, but I suppose that's all part of the experience," she admits, with a light laugh.}}{{Sarah|Sarah="Yes, some nerves are to be expected," she says with a light laugh of her own, taking her seat again. "Your application was very thorough...lots of recommendations." She trails off slightly as she flips through Vilja's file for her notes. "So tell me a little about yourself - strengths, weaknesses, opinion on teamwork, favorite color - anything you feel is relevant."|time=06:57, June 14, 2020 (UTC)}}{{ViljaM|22:07, June 15, 2020 (UTC)|Vilja waits for Sarah to finish speaking before she takes over, feeling more and more confident with every word she utters. "My favorite color is probably emerald green. It's dark and rich, and it compliments my skin quite nicely," she grins. "But on a more serious note, my biggest strength is probably my adaptability. I've faced some problems with my parents that have resulted in me having to live under less-than-ideal circumstances, so I've learned to work with the resources I have on my person. I'm a quick thinker and fast on my feet, too. In terms of weaknesses, I would say the potentially most costing one would be my inability to trust people, least of all on a whim. So... you could say that's something that affects my teamwork, since I don't really know what to expect from other people and don't really trust their decisions. I've been working on it back at Hogwarts, with a counsellor and my professors and friends, but it doesn't come easily," she admits. Not wanting to make herself seem inept, though, she knows she needs to balance it out quickly. "Teamwork makes the dreamwork, I understand, especially in this department. I've been learning to take more risks, but typically, I trust mostly what I see and understand. I've always been more investigative than anything else."}}{{Sarah|Sarah=She nods as Vilja speaks to show she's listening, making small notes about the comment on her parents and her take on trust - just things she'll want to follow up on later. "It's great that you're working on finding a good balance there. Complete, blind trust is a ridiculous expectation, but there are times in this department where you may be asked to follow an order or trust a decision when you don't have all the details or time to find them." She can't think of any other questions that weren't covered in Vilja's application - after all, this is for a learning opportunity, not a job. "Do you have any questions for me?"|time=13:35, June 18, 2020 (UTC)}}{{ViljaM|17:52, June 20, 2020 (UTC)|Vilja had prepared for this part. "I do, actually," she nods. "When your employees came to Hogwarts to talk to us about the internship opportunities, they were really vague about what kind of experiences we'd be able to have. What would I be doing as a student intern under law enforcement? I understand there will be some things I won't be able to do, but as for the rest of it?"}}{{Sarah|Sarah="That's a great question," she says sincerely. "And they were vague intentionally. We have a vague outline for intern activities, but ultimately the experience is created to be flexible, both for schedules and for interests and abilities. It's a mixture of practical things such as clerical duties, relative research, and some basic skills training if we feel you're up to it, as well as more observation-focused things like shadowing certain employees or sitting in on Wizengamot meetings."|time=18:52, June 20, 2020 (UTC)}}{{ViljaM|01:14, June 21, 2020 (UTC)|It takes a lot of effort to not blurt out ''yes please'' immediately after Sarah finishes. Instead, she comes up with a very carefully worded, albeit awkwardly tense response. "''Yes,'' I'd be honored to do basic skills training." She has to admit, sitting in on Wizengamot sounds just as exciting. "Is it safe to presume the internship will have the same hours as a regular school day?"}}{{Sarah|Sarah="Yes it is. Not necessarily ''exactly'' the same hours, as we can work in accommodations for other things you have going on, but we aren't going to have you here at three in morning."|time=16:39, June 21, 2020 (UTC)}}
{{OctaviaB|time=19:28, July 11, 2019 (UTC)|Avia= With an armful of files, documents, and pictures, Octavia arrives on time at Sarah's office. She doesn't have available hands, so she fumbles awkwardly for several seconds until she comes up with the brilliant idea of tapping lightly with her foot.}}

{{ViljaM|18:07, June 22, 2020 (UTC)|Vilja nods. "I think those were my main questions." She pauses then, uncertain about where the interview will go next.}}{{Sarah|Sarah="Great! If that's everything, you can go ahead and take a tour before you leave today. Auror Azoulai volunteered, I believe, so I can have her come and get you." She pulls out a fresh piece of paper to scribble out a quick interdepartmental memo to send. "Just take anything she says about the elevators with a grain of salt."|time=02:10, June 23, 2020 (UTC)}}{{ViljaM|01:39, June 24, 2020 (UTC)|"Oh, gosh, should I be worried?" Vilja jokes with a light laugh. The idea of getting a tour is so beyond her that her stomach is a wreck. It's the good kind, though. She's excited and ready to get the ball rolling with her (hopefully) future career. "But thank you! I can't wait to intern with the department."}}
{{Sarah|Sarah=She checks her watch - it should be Octavia, but she stands up to answer her door just so she can double check. Once she's confirmed it is Octavia, she opens her office door. "Come on in; have a seat. You can set all that down on my desk."|time=22:33, July 11, 2019 (UTC)}}{{OctaviaB|time=22:44, July 11, 2019 (UTC)|Avia= Octavia shuffles in, placing the respectable stack atop her boss's desk. "You won't believe the progress I've made," she says, immediately. "Turns out it's easier to get things done when you're officially an Intelligence Auror compared to one in training."}}

{{Perse|Persephone sat outside Sarah Grey's office trying to calm herself and focus on looking professional and ready for the job. She took a deep breath and tentatively took out her compact, checking her appearance and fixing her hair slightly. She leant back slightly, fixing her posture - her first impression meant a lot so she should make herself a presentable as possible.|21:30, June 9, 2020 (UTC)}}{{Sarah|Sarah=She makes it out of a meeting with her department leaders with just enough time to speedwalk back to her office for her next appointment.

{{Bond_em7|time=17:39, June 25, 2019 (UTC)|Ferlen=He'd knock politely on Sarah's door.}}

{{Perse|As she noticed Ms Grey speedwalking down the corridor she took a deep breath and put on her best 'game face' - a polite smile and interested eyes. "Good afternoon, Ms Grey." She stood up from her seat and entered the office, taking a cautious glance around. "I'm doing alright, what about you?" She walked over and took a seat opposite the desk.|12:14, June 11, 2020 (UTC)}}{{Sarah|Sarah="I'm pretty good, thank you for asking." She takes her own seat and reaches into her desk for Persephone's file. "So tell me a bit about why you believe you're qualified for this position and what you might bring to it."|time=06:57, June 14, 2020 (UTC)}}
{{Sarah|Sarah=Her department has been nearly overloaded for almost the entire duration of Fizgerald's reign of terror, and while she'd hoped it would die down some withthe recent capture of the serial killers, that was not the case. She appreciates the Daily Prophet reporting some of the harsh realities of the Precinct, but that certainly hasn't made her job any easier. She takes the knock at her door as an excuse to set down the reports she was looking over so she can answer the door. "Ferlen," she greets with a tired smile. "Please, come in."|time=18:07, June 25, 2019 (UTC)}}

{{Perse|Persephone would be lying if she said her heart wasn't climbing halfway up her throat, this is happening..."Well, I've been working in your department for about eight years, straight after graduating Hogwarts and I've found what I'm meant to do. I want to help the department in any way I can and when this position became vacant I saw it as a sign." She paused, swallowing her nerves once more, "As for what I bring to the position, as you know I'm a vocal part of this department and this job is essentially everything to me - I am devoted to improving and helping the department in any way I can."|14:27, June 15, 2020 (UTC)}}{{Sarah|Sarah=She nods along as Persephone speaks. "I'm glad to hear that. As I'm sure you know, I work a lot with the other department heads and the minister, so the ability to work well with others is important to my position and, by extension, it is also important for my deputy head. What is your outlook on teamwork? And, on that topic of working with others, as I'm sure you can recall, a previous minister implemented abhorrent policies and changes and expected this department to enforce them. How would you, as a leader, choose to act in a similar situation?"|time=14:49, June 15, 2020 (UTC)}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:13, June 25, 2019 (UTC)|Ferlen=He'd nod and come in having a seat. He'd offer her a piece of parchment. "I assume with your pile of work right now you haven't seen this yet. It's a report from Azkaban that they sent this morning. They're missing a prisoner."}}
 
{{Sarah|Sarah=Sarah sighs and takes the parchment from Ferlen before sitting behind her desk. "You've got to be kidding me." She takes a moment to look over the report, and the name of the prisoner gives her pause. "Do you know anything about this?"|time=18:22, June 25, 2019 (UTC)}}
 
{{Bond_em7|time=18:24, June 25, 2019 (UTC)|Ferlen=He'd shake his head. "I can tell you I'm not upset she's not in there anymore...but I can honestly tell you I had nothing to do with it. If I did do you really think I'd be down here making sure you knew?"}}
 
{{Sarah|Sarah= "You're a smart man. I think you know better than to do anything that might raise a red flag." She sets the report down for now - she'll have to come back to it later - and casts ''muffliato'' around them to ensure their privacy. She has no reason to think that Ferlen isn't being truthful, but she also knows it's likely Regan is going to try to reach out to people she knows for help - hell, Sarah would probably do the same in her shoes. "We can talk freely now, to an extent. If you are lying to me, Ferlen, I don't want to know. When the investigation starts, they will be looking into her family members, although how closely they look depends on how much the minister cares that someone escaped. Believe me, I'm not upset she's out either, but it is in her best interests to stay that way. I wouldn't put it past the Minister to want to make an example out of her."|time=18:57, June 25, 2019 (UTC)}}
 
{{Bond_em7|time=19:04, June 25, 2019 (UTC)|Ferlen=He'd nod. "I agree...and I want you to know your office is safe to talk...I make sure it's swept and kept free of eavesdropping anyway. You and I are on the same side Sarah...we have been since day one of this Ministry...before that even. I'm aware they'll be an investigation of things aren't too busy...but you and I also know about other pieces moving in the '''''shadows''''' that will be making things quite crazy for a while. I don't think anyone could blame either one of us if this escaped prisoner report found it's way to the bottom of our respective piles of paperwork to deal with...especially given how she's not a dangerous convict or anything." He's pause. "Speaking of dangerous criminals congratulations to you and the Department on finally getting some traction on those serial killings."}}
 
{{Sarah|Sarah="I appreciate that," she says. She usually sweeps her office a few times a day herself, but it's good to know someone else has her back as well. "Yes, thank you - god knows, it was about time for it, too. The attacks and killings have been at the top of almost everyone's list for so long, it's good to start crossing a few of them off - but based on the reports, we still have some unaccounted for, so it isn't quite over yet."|time=15:20, June 29, 2019 (UTC)~}}
 
{{Bond_em7|time=14:16, July 9, 2019 (UTC)|Ferlen=He'd nod. "...but it's a step in the right direction and something good for the papers to report instead of our incompetence."}}
 
{{Sarah|Sarah="That's true." She sighs. "With so much going on, it's difficult to focus on the positives. But...what about your job? I can't imagine you're having a much better time."|time=
 
22:33, July 11, 2019 (UTC)}}
 
{{Bond_em7|time=12:15, July 12, 2019 (UTC)|Ferlen=He'd shake his head cheerfully. "Oh no, much worse with the Minister constantly breathing down my neck about why we still have ''those things'' in our country and how we're going to make the rest of the Wizarding World follow suit." He'd give a slight head nod. "That being the case I also can do a lot more to slow things down and take forever which is one reason the Ministry has seemed so ineffective at...everything the past couple years. When I staff up the bureaucracy and make sure everything has to have double signatures to get approved anything other than a direct Ministerial order just takes forever which means if the Minister wants to get anything done he has to do it himself." He'd look at her apologetically. "I know it's caused you and your Department some headaches but I feel like it was one of the few positive things I could do."}}
 
 
=== Svetovid ===
 
{{Svetovid|text = Warmness was a thing that unfortunately was reserved for his brothers, but politeness wasn't. "Uh... Hello, may I please sit down?" He asked Sara as he looked at the chair in front of him - it was terribly polite to not ask one's hopefully future boss if they couldn't sit down.|2 = 19:32, June 12, 2019 (UTC)~}}
 
{{Sarah|Sarah="Good morning, Mr. Kuznetsov," Sarah greets, holding open her office door and offering her hand to shake as Svetovid enters. "Please do sit down. How are you?"|time=12:59, June 14, 2019 (UTC)}}
 
{{Svetovid|2 = 03:17, June 30, 2019 (UTC)~|text = He'd give her a nod, not liking the idea of messing up this interview immediately. "I apologize for my error of judgment, Mrs. Grey, if that's what you'd like to be called." In his head he'd give something of a strained smile, but in reality he'd say this straight-faced.}}
