Jude, as a rule, never started work until he made a formidable impression on all of those who caught sight of him in the Atrium. Every day, he stood around for the first five minutes or so, drinking coffee and having a chat with someone important looking. The closest at hand were either Robert Lupin or Elijah Krum, the only two men with more power than him, though the department heads ranked just near him too. If not them, though, Jude always managed to find someone impressive or famous to share his morning coffee with - Jude could always be a charming conversation partner if he chose too.
Today, he had found himself approaching Colin Cornell, a famous wizard known for his good looks and his multiple records. Colin was currently the ladies' favorite singer out there, and Jude could see people turning their heads and craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the singer. And here he was, chatting with Colin like they were old friends.
In reality, they were fairly close. Colin's dad had been a Ministry man, one of the first men Jude had worked as a personal assistant too. Colin, significantly younger than Jude, had been trailing his father to work back in that time, so Jude had known the boy before he had exploded into stardom. So now, they spoke casually, comfortably, laughing easily.
Suddenly, Colin caught Jude's arm and jerked his chin towards someone. "Who's that?" he asked. Jude turned, seeing a woman pass by. He shrugged, "I don't know. Must be lower level."
"Could you call her over here?"
"I'm telling you, Colin, she's a nobody."
"I know, I just want to look at her some."
"For an international star, you sure are desperate," Jude said, smirking. Colin rolled his eyes, and Jude caught an intern walking past, quickly giving her the information. She dutifully scampered off.
When she caught up to the blonde woman, someone she was sure was new, she caught her arm and said, "Miss! Your presence is requested!"
