Magical Law Enforcement Squad: Ms Artemis Saggezza

[Professor Wu Tian]

--She should be here any moment now. Perhaps the only one who will qualify for training this year. This is moving more slowly than i expected--

[Artemis Saggezza]

--Artemis walked into the Ministry of Magic, her robes billowing around her. Her long black hair ran down her back. She walked with a determined stare in her eye, and gait in her step. At first glance, one could immediately tell she was from Durmstrang. Her dark, prominent features stood out amongst the rest of the people, as most were english and irish, and lightly skinned. Her skin on the other hand, like her hair and eyes, was Italian looking, tanned even.--

--Her eyes although dark brown, almost black, had a certain glint in them, if one looked close enough. A glint, that showed her soul within. Observant, somewhat cold, calculating, ever watchful, and more than anything determined. Her eyes glanced about the room, watching everyone. She looked down at the paper, getting the room number she was supposed to be in. She walked up to the information desk, submitting her wand for inspection, and gettign directions to the office.--

--She proceeded down various hallways, seeming to part the people in the halls. As she walked, they all went to either side of her, and looked at her curiously. She was used to it. After all, she was in the part of the building containing the magical law enforcement agency, the last place any of these people expected her to be. She heard slight whispers along the lines of "Did you see her?...yeah, she's the daughter of that guy....what do you think she's doing here? God they look a lot alike.." She was used to it, it didn't even bother her anymore.--

--She looked around, searching for the room, and found it. She walked up to it, and knocked. She then took a step back, and waited for entry to be allowed. As she waited, she had a military look about her. Hands behind her back, feet shoulder width apart. a straight ahead, determined gaze in her eye....--

((Sorry about the monlouge I was bored))

[Professor Wu Tian]

((Oh. Monologues add spice to the thread. Monologue all you want. I can turn the thread into a soliloquy for you if you like.))

--He sat at his desk, rolling a galleon from finger to finger, up and down across his clenched fist tracing a golden line along his knuckles. Each lap the coin completed represented 10 seconds. It reminded him that time literally was money, and it waited for no-one.--

--The staff at the ministry truly required more training. This is magical law enforcement, not education or sports or something similiarly inane. They simply couldn't keep their mouths shut. He had the corner office, and yet he could still hear the murmurs echoing all the way into his office. Something simply had to be done about this. On the bright side, something must have triggered off that reaction. Pocketing his coin, he waited. Ms Saggezze had arrived. A knocking sound reverberated from his door, and it simply swung open--

"Artemis, I have been expecting you. Please, come in. And don't worry, I never shut the door. Its all part of ministry requirements. Something about open door policies. But you need not concern yourself with our privacy. The last person who intruded upon mine in the office is on her way to St Mungo's at present, i believe. Particularly nasty curse, that one."

--He looked up.--

[Artemis Saggezza]

--Artemis entered, smiling, that same determined look in her eye. She looked about the office, and was not at all suprised by its appearances. It suited his personality quite well, or at least that of his personality that she knew of. A bit cold and dark, but yet also oddly inviting. Mysterious. She smiled, and chuckled lightly...--

"I would imagine so..." she smiled, looking at him, actually meeting his gaze for the first time since she'd known him..."So, what wonderful challenges await me?" she asked, smiling...she loved a challenge after all

[Professor Wu Tian]

"Challenges? What challenges? You sit there, on the only other chair in the room. I clear some more paperwork. We pretend to have an interview. Then your auror training commences. I hardly need an interview to make a decision regarding a student of my own, now do I?"

"Nevertheless, we are here for a reason. We are waiting. Waiting for Mr Valendir to make his appearance."

[Artemis Saggezza]

--Artemis looked at him..--

"Nothing with you is ever that sim--" she started, then heard the rest of his comment...."We are? Why?" she asked curiously

[Professor Wu Tian]

"Because, while I fully understand your reasons for beng here, I haven't a clue regarding his. And my operations here cannot be compromised by something as easily preventable as say, the rites of the sire. Hence we need Mr Valendir here."

[Artemis Saggezza]

--Artemis nodded....--

"That makes sense...." she said, looking at her watch...."So you do understand why I want to do this?" she asked him

[Professor Wu Tian]

"You don't want to do this, Artemis. You need to do this. It is my hope that the work will ease the burdens on your soul rather than consume you. But I need talent at this point in time, and cannot afford to reject the best and the brightest on grounds of psychoanalysis. The question before me though is why Mr Valendir would agree to this. The risks to you personally are great."

[Artemis Saggezza]

--Artemis nodded. Yet again, he spoke the truth..he always seemed to do that...--

"I don't know either sir..." she said, thinking...."I've been thinking about that lately, and I can't figure it out for the life of me..."

[Professor Wu Tian]

"Would you fetch him then? He could easily turn down my invitation. He's hardly legally bound to appear."

[Artemis Saggezza]

--Artemis nodded, and rose....--

"Of course..." she said, sighing. She looked at her watch, thinking...."I'll be back in a few moments...." she replied, smiling slightly...She got up to exit the room...

[Professor Wu Tian]

"I have full faith in you abilities to retrieve him, Artemis. Go ahead."

[Artemis Saggezza]

--Artemis nodded, and smiled....--

"I'll be back soon..." she said...."Do you need anythign at the store while I'm out?" she asked laughing lightly. With that, she left the room, off to find her illusive boyfriend....

[Artemis Saggezza]

(( he hasn't been on teh site in...forever....i think he may have died...or quit...))

[Professor Wu Tian]

((This could be ... problematic. But since it appears that you are about to become my boss, what they hey,))

[Artemis Saggezza]

((lol....hey--what Can I say??))
