The "They're Not Adopts But I Still Want Them" Thread
#61
Play my coworkers Smile or if not, enjoy this collection of head canons about how the Spirit Div works.

Head of Division: Has at least two members of his family who are ghosts and initially joined the division to advocate for one of them. Has since become disillusioned with ghosts because jfc they're still here and keep meddling in his life. He quietly thinks regulation to reduce spirit mobility wouldn't be the worst thing but keeps those opinions to himself. Very annoyed when people call him "the ghost guy" or similar. Resents Percy Adlard for existing and thereby removing his best chance at leaving the division. His face when dealing with Ford mostly looks like:


The Paperwork Jockey: Deals with incoming complaints and assigns them to other employees, and also liaises with other departments to arrange for collaborations when necessary. Always incredibly peppy and cheerful but if you annoy her she'll give you bad assignments for weeks as punishment. Very good at holding grudges.

Head of historical accuracy: Handles research, which involves trying to track down information on the lives of problematic spirits and talking to ghosts and asking questions about history which could be useful for other Ministry branches or the Museum or whatever. Allergic to dust, and since most of their job involves dusty books and old artifacts they're always sneezing. Has weird hobbies.

I only talk to important ghosts: Takes Hogwarts cases and other Important/ High Visibility spirit cases. Theoretically should also take Diagon Alley/magical London cases but often pushes their work off on more junior members when they don't feel like it's important enough for them to deal with. Angling for the Spirit Div Head position and occasionally gets a few Dwight from The Office moments in team meetings where he's trying really hard to give the impression he's second in command but the Division Head is just rolling his eyes. 

I don't talk to anyone: A man who never smiles. The person who goes to Azkaban if there's ever trouble with the dementors (which happens very infrequently); because of this they have at least one friend in Law Enforcement and often makes vague comments that they're needed to help with "an auror investigation" — really they're just dodging work. Seldom gets assignments because The Paperwork Jockey is afraid of him. Has, on occasion, gone off during the middle of the workday to drink at a sketchy pub or gamble on cards but mostly he enjoys lurking around the Ministry in a vaguely menacing fashion or finding interesting places to take a nap.

"Ghosts aren't allowed to be mean to me, are they?" investigator: Typically takes Hogsmeade cases which means they're more of a conflict resolution person than an investigator, per ce. Does not get along well with Barnaby Wye. Often harried. Transferred from another division in the DRCMC and sometimes makes comments about how much better life was in the other division, but doesn't actually believe that.

"Weird spooky noise" investigation crew: Ford and the one member of the Spirit Div who's junior to him, who get the Muggle London/assorted random places in the English countryside cases, and both frequently get bullied into taking on the workloads of ^Important Ghosts Only guy and ^Never Smiles guy. The other employee would really prefer to jump Ford in the seniority chain because he thinks Ford is a nerd, but can't quite manage it because he is still inexperienced enough that he has to ask Ford for help with his workload frequently, which ruins the ~I'm better than you energy he's trying to put out.
