Greg straightened his black robes as he stepped out of the Floo in the Ministry. He'd come here straight from the house he shared with Draco and Corner. So far, it was going alright, not that he had much to compare it to. It was admittedly nice having Draco as a roommate now that he was less afraid to speak up for himself, and less inclined to do whatever he was told. And Draco was taking to the new dynamic better than Greg had thought. Also, he had to admit, having a roommate who had simply gone out and bought everything that the house needed didn't hurt one bit. Even if some of it wasn't anything he'd have chosen if it were him. Lifting the collar of his robes, he sniffed, not sure he liked smelling so ... floral. He'd thought using the blue soap rather than the yellow would avoid that.
It did make Greg feel slightly useless, like he should be contributing something. But once he was able financially, he would work on paying Draco back for some of this stuff, or finding a way to contribute in his own way. He didn't like feeling indebted.
Today, though, he had first-day jitters to worry about. Not that he was about to admit to any jittering. He looked around the Atrium; it had been a long time since he'd been here, and it looked a lot different. But eventually, he made his way to level four and hesitantly looked around for Mr. Scamander, whom he'd met last week. He might need to check in before going to his desk area.
