Lucy Spinks (addingvalue) wrote in finnigans_rpg,

Despite some trepidation, Lucy greeted Rich warmly - it would never occur to her to treat someone who was doing her a favour otherwise, prospective employer or not. "Thanks for seeing me so quickly," she said, trying to study him without staring to see if she could place him in her memories of Hogwarts. She'd been pretty wrapped up in her own studies, fighting twice as hard as anyone else for every decent grade, and as such hadn't had much time for socialising outside her own year.

She looked around as they walked - the buildings were grander than she was used to after working in an office block that was starting to get shabby - but Rich didn't seem particularly formal or imposing himself. It still seemed strange to her that they would pay someone to operate the lift - why couldn't the employees do it themselves? She'd seen such things in movies, usually in hotels, but never in real life. Her wandering attention was refocused as they walked into Rich's office, where piles of folders littered the floor and papers spilled out over the desk. It wasn't unlike the state the office of Variety had been in when she'd started there, perhaps a little worse.

Sitting down in the available chair, she crossed one leg over the other and turned her gaze back to Rich. "I looked into it as much as I could," she said. There hadn't been much time, and she hadn't known whether to use muggle means or magical. She'd started with the internet from her office and then asked Susan to help her with the magical side. "I'd definitely be interested in working here." Just the presence of computers was enough to sell her on that, even outside of the research she'd done. She doubted she'd find the same facilities in many other businesses in the wizarding world. "And you look like you could really use someone to organise the place." Whether he was looking to hire a PA, an office manager or just a general admin dogsbody, Lucy didn't care. She'd worked her way up from retail with no GCSEs or A-Levels and had no hesitations about doing grunt work - as long as she was fairly compensated.

She nodded through his explanation, feeling the slightest flutter of panic about the 'stuck in the wizarding world' sections of the building. She'd just have to suck it up and get Susan or someone else to help her retrain her magic. If she'd been able to do it well enough to pass her OWLs, there must be a way to get that proficiency back. She just didn't know what it was yet. "Coffee would be good," she said, offering a smile.
