Andy's application absolutely rubbed Michael the right way. There was something about this guy's style that Michael liked. Perhaps it was the use of the word "amigo," signaling that Andy, like Michael, was a lover of diversity. Maybe it was the highly familiar and comforting use of a lot of words to say a lot of nothing. Or maybe it was the mention of Sky Mall, which, as far as Michael was concerned, was one of the best parts of flying. Not that he had flown very often before coming to Hogwarts, and certainly not after (his summertime pride tour had been all road trip, baybee!), but when he had flown the friendly skies, he had definitely enjoyed his perusal through Sky Mall. It always served as a reminder that his own ideas, like the toilet buddy (formerly known as the toilet guard, a net that prevents one's wallet and loose change from falling into the toilet) and the toilet sponge (a hollowed-out sponge that is softer and more absorbent than toilet paper), were highly marketable and needed to be pursued to their fullest.
Whatever it was, Michael liked this guy. And apparently he was a fellow Dunder-Mifflinite! Having arrived at Hogwarts at the end of Season 2 (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/914269.html), he had no idea who Andy was, so he simply figured he was either from another branch or someone who was hired during the time since Michael had moved from Scranton to Hogsmeade.
"Helllll~oooooo!" he trilled in the style of Jerry Seinfeld's girlfriend Clare's belly button, hand outstretched toward Andy. "You must be a new transfer! Welcome to Hogwarts! I'm Michael Scott, regional manager of Dunder-Mifflin Scranton and Dunder-Mifflin Hogsmeade." It had never struck Michael as ludicrous that he was still managing the Scranton branch despite being absent from it for years. Then again, very few ludicrous things struck Michael as ludicrous. "I'm also prefect of Slytherin house and regional manager of GLAAD Hogwarts! VELLcome to ourrrr HUMble aBODE!" His speech took on an accent that was a cross between Zsa Zsa Gabor and Count von Count (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_von_Count). "Ve arrrre deLIGHTed to haff you here! You must be the new Jim Halpert. Von new office trrrransfer, AH HA HA HA HA!"
