Jack was looking over his manual that he had received earlier that day which explained his duties as an auror and some of the rules he could not break. It was a pretty hefty manual and most of it covered just the general rules of the Ministry and did not pertain to him. Well, it did pertain to him, but it was mostly common knowledge things. Some of them were quite ridiculous like do not walk around with your shoes untied, he just laughed at that one.
He was actually excited even though he had so much to read, he had finally gotten the position he had wanted for so many years. Grinning, he closed the book and he stepped out of the staircase and into the atrium. He was the new guy so he had been introducing himself to the proper people and a few people whom he had no idea what they did. His first day as a Ministry worker had been a pretty swell one.
As he was walking out of the staircase, he saw someone topple over in front of everyone. Instinctively he laughed to himself, but it was not really at the person, just at the situation. The poor guy fell in front of everyone. The worst part of it was, no one was stopping to help him. Being the chivalrous bastard that he was, Jack made his way over to him quickly. When he reached him he bent down and hooked his hand under the mans armpits and lifted him pretty easily into the air. He was a pretty light guy, much lighter than Jack had expected.
"Gotta watch that air cause it'll get ya sometimes." Jack said with a grin while bending down to pick up some papers the guy had dropped. Standing up, he outstretched his hand as a greeting and smiled. "Not the best circumstances to meet under, but oh well. I am Jack Wickim, the new guy."
