Kevin reynolds had opened the letter only moments before, and this was an honor He was gonna show Glenn's son aroung the ministry. He was Glenn's friend (Kinda) and He was cleaning his cubicle waiting for the youth to show up. He was in a very good mood ever since the Estaci disaster. he had his little potion cabnet open and a few potions out just to see if the youth had inherited his father's talent. there was also a very nice office chair like the one Kevin had on the other side near a shelf of dark detectors.there was then the sound of someone entering and a soft knock on the cubical barrier which Kevin answered with a polite, "Please enter and have a seat!"

(Reminder, Tristan is Glenn's nephew ;D)
His grandfather and Tristan arrived at the Ministry by portkey. He looked at the Ministry building which still looked the same. He looked at his grandfather, "Makes you want to go back to the Ministry eh?" he said joking to him.
His grandfather looked at Tristan grinned weakily," Not in another fifty years," he said to Tristan. "Alright I'll see you in awhile, be good!" he yelled out to Tristan.
"Yeah I will," he said to him. "Yeah right," he whispered to himself. As he walked in he saw some Ministry workers. But ignoring them he walked up to the Level two and looked at the letter he got from the Minister. "A Auror named 'Kevin Reynolds'. Hm, must be the guy who Uncle Glenn is working with," he said to himself.
Knock. Knock. He knocked and heard a voice say come in. He opened the door and saw a man who was probably the Auror named Kevin Reynolds. When he entered, he looked around and nodded. He closed the door and walked to a seat and sat. "Well, I'm Tristan Howard," he said to the Auror. Boy again this was going to be fun.

(Sorry my mistake!)
" Welcome always a Pleasure to meet a Howard. My name is Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Howard adn i though that we could start today with a game, if you can guess three of the four potions on this table we will have a bit of fun after we take our tour, if you can't then we can come back for my personal favorite lecture about this department; Do we have a deal Mr. Howard?" the auror said in a pleasant tone with a hint of challenge in his voice.
The four potions on the desk were standard for most aurors.
the first was the dangerous colorless vetiserum, the second was the mud-like poly-juice potion the third was the light lilac, Draught of living death the fourth was the most difficult, looking exactly like the first only with a hint of pink color, the Vetiserum antidote.
Kevin secretly would have taken him out for ice-cream anyway he just wanted to have some fun.

Upon hearing his nice remarks but he wanted Tristan to name out the four potions if he could. "Sure, why not?" he said to Kevin. Now he focused back on the potions. "Errr... the first one is," he said beginning to think of what it is. Bloody... Bloody... Oh wait...that's right," the first one is vetiserum," he said to him.
Now he looked at the second one. Okay this he didn't know. He kept thinking of it. He finally gave up on the second one, "I'm not sure what that one is, sir," he said. Then to the third one. Third one was pretty weird and Tristan thought of if annoying. "Nope, don't know that one," then he looked at the last one, "Thats the Vetiserum antidote!" he said out loud. He got two of them right, he hoped.

" Mr. Howard You are correct about the first and fourth, the second is Poly-juice potion which you can use to change your apperance, the third is the drought of living death which will send the drinker into a rip-van winkle like sleep." Kevin stood and collected the controlled potions and placed them in the cabnet which he pulled something out of and he sat back down.
"I'll give you a bonus round Mr. Howard, because I am suprised you got the last potion, you can still win if you can tell me where this Bezoar came from." Kev said setting the small stone on the now near empty desk. Kevin really wanted to head outside and have some fun with Tristan so he tried a bonus round hoping he knew about Bezoars. Kevin smiled, pushed his hair back, and waited for an answer.
(Answer is: Stomach of a goat,
Kevin also will accept an apothecary shop just becasue it IS true and he would find it funny)

He grinned to himself when he the two right. Upon hearing what a beazor is from. Tristan knew this answer really quick. He looked back up at Kevin. "An apothecary shop," he said to him. He grinned again. That was an easy question and no one can no to that answer because it's true. Tristan saw once in Diagon Alley's apothecary shop.

"You are really a sharp one aren't you? I was after the stomach of a goat but, I'll give it to you for originality." He laughed and finally continued " I admit my defeat, we'll have a small tour of the ministry, see if your uncle wants to come with us and get some ice cream." he stood up and put the Bezoar away then locked up the cabinet with the dangerous potions after slipping a vial of pale pink Vetiserum antidote into his pocket.
"What do you thin an auror does?" He asked hoping that the truth that most of the time paperwork or just doing nothing. he wouldn't mind if the youth would take up the ministry internship and work WITH Kevin like an apprentice. man this kid is good, I never would have thought about the shop very nice. he thought to himself impressed with the youth's daring.

Ice cream!!? Oh man this man is awesome!! he thought. Hearing if they should ask his uncle if they want to come with him to get some ice cream. "No luck, for me. He works all the time. I don't think I ever see him NOT working," he said to Mr. Reynolds. Then he saw that he put the vetisrum in his pocket. Really he hoped Tristan wasn't the bad guy or something. What does an Auror do? "They beat up bad guys and arrest them," he said with a grin. Thats one thing he knew Aurors did.

(note: It was the Antidote to the vetiserum)
" Don't I wish, it was that fun. the sad part is that mostly I as the youngest am stuck here all day unless Your Uncle or Mr. Thorne give me a break and let me out." Kevin said somewhat sadly.
"Let's see if your uncle can make time. I think he might enjoy it." Kev said kindly. He really is a cool kid, i really need to have some fun with glenn, maybe a night just to have some fun off-duty. he thought to himself.
"Do you think when you reach the 7th year you wil go for an intership?"He asked calmly.

Saying his uncle might enjoy it. Tristan wished Glenn did, but Glenn hasn't smiled or even did anything since the Thorne Murder Case. Even that Man-Hunt he said didn't even work. He looked back at Kevin, "Really? That stinks," he said to Kevin when he said he doesn't go out as often unless Uncle Glenn or Mr. Thorne says so. Kevin then asked him when he reaches seventh year if he'll sign up for a internship.
"Heck yeah!" he said to him.

" Alright you will make a great auror with the right motivation and grades." Kevin complimented. now if you will just relax because I have a small lecture about the ministry, just sit through this and we can have some fun. Kevin pulled out a paper and started to read "You are interested in the Law Enforcement feilds..." the rest of the assigned lecture too boring to be typed here.

He grinned when he heard he make a great Auror with that type of attitude. All he knew that to be an Auror was you had to have a mininum of 5 NEWTs and then three years of training. He knew Glenn had 5 NEWTs but went through six years. He looked at Kevin when he pulled out some letter. He wanted to ask this for a long time.
"Um.... I'm asking randomly, is uh.. Uncle Glenn the Head Auror or something?" he asked.

Kevin paused and replied with "He is my boss but only by seniority, the head of department is Cody Thorne placing him in charge." He went back to the speech and finally finished it and he stood. " there now thats that is gone lets ask your uncle about the ice cream." Kevin said.
Kevin then hit the dividing wall of the full height cubicles and shouted " HEY GLENN!, YOUNG MR. HOWARD HERE WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU WOULD TAKE A BREAK AND GET SOME ICE CREAM WITH US!" The office was empty, except for Kevin, and the Howards, if there was anyone else in the office he wouldn't have yelled.

He was doing a lot of work and still no progress was getting anywhere. Rushing all out of ideas and things to do, it was just unbearable. Then hearing someone yell. "What the heck," he said. Then he heard Kevin ask to go for ice cream. "No, I'm working. Go by yourself or whoever," he yelled out back to him. Too much work was delt with.

"Told you he wouldn't. He is too busy with his papers. I wouldn't want him to get mad," he said to Kevin. Maybe he was beginning to like this Ministry thing. He hoped in the future that he wouldn't have to talk back to a Ministry person for accusing him of something, but that'll never happen or would it? Tristan doubt it would happen but that is the future and he didn't want to think about it right now.
