The Lifts on level 2 are always busy, partly because the biggest department in the ministry of magic can be found here, and partly because members of the public who visit the ministry often have to do so for legal reasons and this is where they'll end up. The lifts don't only go vertically, so keep that in mind and hold on. Some of them swoop off diagonally, horizontally or even multi-dimensionally, but if you're leaving from level 2, or press the button to arrive at level 2, then this is where you'll end up.

Some of the lifts seem to move a little faster to certain departments than others at different times of the day, and the employees here on level 2 take advantage of that if they have to go somewhere in a hurry.

Step on out (or in) and take a look around. Its just a short walk to the nearest bathrooms, and at the other end of the foyer you'll find the main entrance to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Of course, if you're not just hanging around the lifts on level 2, they'll take you elsewhere.

You are here.
