Hadley was on OFFICIAL business.

She had left Harmony's office with instructions for a task. She stood in front of the Creature Holding Room, almost unwilling to enter. She knew this room contained beasts with the highest Ministry classification. Even though they were locked in caged, she still felt nervous. She had never had a reason to enter this room regularly; spirits did not need to be locked in cages. They weren't beasts. And the last time she had entered this room was many years ago. She didn't remember anything about it.

She sighed, told herself to grow up, opened the door and walked inside. Her first reaction to the noise was an instinct to run out the room, close and lock the door and prevent anyone else from entering the room. That was silly though! She shook her head and tried as best she could to ignore the noise.

As she walked through the room, looking at each cage to see if they were Glumbumbles, her low heals made rhythmic clicking sounds on the ground. She saw a few cages saying 'XXX' on them and thought that was, perhaps, a good place to start. She searched around in that area looking for the little beasts she had been sent there to find; and there they were! AHA!

But… just as she was about to open the cage, she stopped and thought about what she was going to transport them in. Well, they were't just going to follow her to the greenhouse, were they? No, they weren't. She looked around, almost wanting to run back to Harmony and ask her; but then she saw it. The supply closet! She opened the door and peered inside, finding a carrier that looked to be the perfect size to carry them in. She also picked up another container for the treacle which Harmony had also asked her to bring.

She ushered the Glumbumbles into the transport carrier, and scooped some treacle out of the cage, enough, she hoped, for whatever Aron needed it for. Then she left the creature holding room, each hand busy with something.
