Dept of Mysteries Visitor's Receiving Area After finally working your way through the confusing corridors surrounding the department you will find yourself in the reception area of the department. This area previously was unmanned but the department head decided to hire a receptionist, just to aid with any vistors to the department. The reception area is well decorated, with a small seating area for visitors to wait whilst the appopriate unspeakable is called upon. At one corner of the reception area is the door to the department head's office. One cannot just walk into the office though as there are many security charms in place, which prevents anyone getting into the office without permission. If you have business with the department head please talk to the receptionist who will inform the department head of your arrival. OOC: Any Ministry of Magic employees can RP in this thread. The receptionist isn't actually rped, so play as you wish. |
Armen exited the Lifts and walked along the corridor of Level Nine at a striding pace. He had business to attend to and some question to be asked of an employee. He opened the door that lead into the Mysteries Department and entered the strange yet suprisingly well-decorated room with a flourish. Expecting someone to be here to great him, the Transportation Head was disappointed. He guessed he would have to wait then. |
hehe, hope you don't mind Quote:
She has then reached to visitors lounge of the department. Apparently their is someone sitting and waiting there. "Excuse me" she interrupted. "Are you looking for someone or bringing in something?" she asked. Not that the man has to answer something or someone in specific but you know, she could help him out if he is waiting for someone else. |

And then the sounds of footsteps aproached coming from the doors leading off further into the department. "Ah its about time someone arrived to greet me. Hello there, Miss. What is your job title here in Mysteries?" he asked smiling at her. She at least looked like she could help him. "Sorry I've forgotten to introduce myself, Armen Recard, Department Head for Magical Transportation up on level six." |
Quote:
Oh of course, she almost forgot "Department of Mysteries..." of course he knew that already. They're in the Mysterie's floor. "... Death Chamber Specialist" she continued. She gestured a hand to him. "What brings you from this department Mr. Recard?" he asked him. Surely Virgo would help him if he needed anything or anyone. |
Quote:
"Good question, I've actually come to see someone here in Mysteries. Do you happen to know where I can find a Mr. Pierre Devereux, he's an old employee of mine and...a good friend." he grinned, almost as an after-thought. He needed to talk to him about something very important. |
Sorry my internet sucked last night >.< Quote:
Virgo from the Death Chamber... That sounded absolutely creepy. In fact it sounded morbid and rigid in all angles. Virgo was always told by her friends that her position in the Mystery creeps the hell out of everyone else, before she definitely didn't think so but after hearing it from someone, she finally agreed. Yeah, it sounds like she's digging souls from the grave or keeping track of every ghost she comes across with. Pierre Devereux... hmm... he sounded quite familiar to begin with. Think. Think. Think. Thankfully Virgo was well equipped with remembering names. Well she's a fast learner. "Mr. Pierre Devereux from the Hall of Prophecies?" she asked. To begin with, their is only one Pierre Devereux, so Virgo is sure that he is the guy Mr. Recard is talking about. "Mr. Devereux is in the work area right now." she told him. "I should go tell him that you're here." she added. She turned her back on the man but just before she could leave the place to go get Pierre, she turned to Mr. Recard "Please, take a seat and feel comfortable" she smiled. Off to see Pierre Devereux. |
Quote:
"Oh Pierre is in Prophecies now? That's nice." the Department head nodded. He was glad Pierre had been moved to such a successful Division after being switched from Transportation. Then Virgo was leaving to go retreive the man. "Oh thank you very much dear, I will just wait out here while you fetch him." and with that, Armen sat down on one of the nice couches. |
Pierre walked to the entrance of the door and paused, placing a grin on his face. He spotted Armen sitting on one of the couches. He wondered what Armen was up too, but figured it had something to do with that stuff Pierre had been sneaking around when he was in transportation. He walked over to Armen and grinned. "Good morning Armen. How are you today?" He hoped the department head didn't mind that he'd dropped formalities. After all, Pierre had worked for the man for a while and had almost always called him Armen around the office. |
Quote:
He remembered their last encounter outside of Knockturn Alley and then just the other day in the Atrium when Borr was tormenting that fellow from level one, and it seemed peculiar to him that he was always around Cultist happenings. "So Pierre, do you mind if I have a word with you?" he knew that was implied by the whole him coming down here and all but he might as well ask. He looked around the room that was designed to be public and motioned for him to step over to the wall with him so they could at least have a bit of privacy. |
Quote:
Even though Pierre really was. He'd seen Armen come out of Knockturn Alley before AND seemed to have a hand in that occurrence in the Atrium the other day. "'Course not." He figured that's why Armen was here in the first place. Pierre followed the department head over to a wall. Apparently, Armen was going for privacy here. He picked a really bad place to do it. "So...what do you want to talk about?" |
Quote:
Armen cut the niceness again and got down to the truth. "So Pierre why is it you seemed to have been following me recently?" he hissed lowly so there wasn't a chance someone could hear him. Was he a spy for Vander?! Before allowing him to reply the man continued. "And don't lie to me, I've seen you about everywhere....something happens." he said looking at the man,hoping to catch a nervous glance or anything to give him away. |
Quote:
...and was slightly taken aback by his quick change in tone. So Armen had noticed? "Following you? If it seems like I'm following you, I assure you that it's a mere coincidence." It really was actually. Armen just seemed to be in all of the wrong places whenever Pierre saw him. "Really. It's all accidental. And what do you mean by 'something happens'?" Pierre was sure now that Armen was up to something. The department head had just given it away. |
I feel like Armen might go off his rocker soon. LOL Quote:
"Yes following me!" Armen said his face growing stiff. He was not working his butt off on these missions to be followed like a common criminal! He was a Department Head at the Ministry of Magic. "A coincidence? Well then what were YOU doing in Knockturn Alley? Were you egging on that bloke that Borr was punishing or the woman who was detained? Did Borr miss someone when he was handing out punishments?" Merlin, he just let slip he was up to something, but his anger at being followed kind of gave that away too. "No, I'm questioning you, Devereux." he said with a look of nervousness. |
Quote:
Pierre waited for Armen to stop with the questions, before he answered calmly. Well, as calmly as he possibly could right now. "I wasn't in Knockturn Alley, I was walking passed it on my way to Gringott's. And I wasn't egging them on! I was just curious as to what was going on!" If the department head couldn't tell, Pierre was getting angry now. Pierre rolled his eyes, something he had always restrained from when talking to the Department Head. "Well, I have a few questions too. Like what were YOU doing in Knockturn Alley? And why is it such a big deal if I was 'egging' on those people? Their punishments were incredibly unnecessary!" Pierre had a feeling that he had crossed a line by this point, but he really didn't care right now. Armen had angered him. |
Quote:
"Well you just keep sticking with that story." he said with a snort. He really didn't want to say this but perhaps it would end the spying and following games. "There are ways they use to get rid of those who are against the cause, its happened before. So you need to watch your step do you hear me Pierre?" he hissed again. He wasn't all mad at Pierre, he had been an old employee of him and he liked the man. He just really didn't appreciate the sneaking around. Armen narrowed his eyes as the other man rolled his. "What I was doing in Knockturn Alley was my business and those employees were being punished by the Minister of Magic, so if you have a problem with it than you can consult him." Armen was tired of arguing and threatening his old friend. He stuck his hands in his pockets for a moment and then awkwardly turned to leave. Before he moved, however, he turned back to Pierre and his face softened a fraction of an inch. "I mean it Pierre you need to watch youself." and then the Department Head swept from the room. |
Quote:
"I will...seeing as it's true." Pierre scoffed at Armen. Really, this man would just not get it. Those against the cause?! What was Armen going about?! He waited for the man to finish the statement. He was going to say something, Armen started to talk again. Of course he was going to use that route. "Whatever you say Armen." And then he was turning to leave. Watch myself? Pierre stared at the door as Armen left from the room. He really had no idea what had just happened. In utter confusion, he headed back to the work area, trying to regain his thoughts. |
Gina walked into the Department of Mysteries Visitor Area, children in toe. "So this is the department of Mysteries, only Unspeakables are allowed through the doors, which is different from unmentionables, which you know are knickers." She giggled at her own humor. "So the Department Head Ren Sakura will be out momentarily to talk to us." |
Her thoughts still stuck on how she had been standing in the very same spot as the famous Harry Potter, Kurumi followed the group until they arrived at the Department of Mysteries. Merlin, she was sure Selina would love to be here. All those prophecies and everything. Perhaps one day one of the lioness' prophecies would appear here. A smile tugged at Kurumi's cheeks. Ren Sakura? Why did that name sound familiar? |

Rounding the corner from the hidden archway of the Mysteries entrance Ren Sakura walked silently along the hallway entering the Visitor's lounge, right behind the group of young students. Ah children coming to visit "Hello."he greeted softly, a polite smile gracing his features, eyes gazing intently at the children."I am Ren Sakura, and I head the Department of Mysteries. And who be these brilliant minds?" |
"Well the pretty girls are Kurumi Hollingberry, Penny Laughgood and Sierra Greingoth," she said emphasizing the last name... "The handsome young man, and my new boyfriend is Eino Uronen" She said taking him by the arm and she looked at the boy seriously for a beat before giggling. "I'm joking Eino! Pulling your chain!" |
Quote:
Quote:
Her eyes flashed toward Latorta. Her boyfriend?! ...really? She glanced toward Eino then back to Latorta. "Were you a Hufflepuff, Miss Latorta?" No offense, Laughgood. Not too much, at least. |
When the Head of the department rounded the corner, Kurumi recognized him immediately and her breath caught in her throat. She HAD seen him before, at the party held by Lord Borr towards the end of her second year over at the gift bag tables. She was pretty sure that her mother was using the T-shirt as a dish rag now, but no need to go into those details. Before Kurumi could speak, Sierra stood right in front of her and caused her to lose her balance a bit as she attempted to pivot to the left to avoid colliding with the curly haired she-snake. Her nose wrinkled a bit, was that really necessary? When Sierra had finished, Kurumi stepped to the side and stood riiiiiiight beside Sierra, not in front of her. "Mr. Sakura," Kurumi said with a bow. She would add a 'nice to see you again,' but she wasn't entirely sure that was true. "Kurumi Hollingberry, Gryffindor representative." And she added another small, but awkward, bow. "Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to speak with us." He couldn't be all that bad. His last name meant cherry blossoms after all. |
He surely doesnt disagree with the pretty part, but he kept himself in check and his face professionally pleasant. He gazed at Sierra with mild curiosity, her last name not having escaped him on Gina's introduction. "An honor to meet the daughter of the Undersecretary." he said as he shook her hand gently. Why is it secret? "Why is Slytherin the house of great Witches and Wizards?" See there is no why, it just is. Ren eyed Kurumi a little longer, having recognized her almost instantly The child from his Lordship's party. He returned her bow in turn "Pleasure to meet you Ms Hollingberry" he said putting on his kindest smile and most accommodating demeanor for the young Gryffindor "It isnt a bother at all, one must always make the time to help mold the impressionable minds of our young ones. The great future of us Wizards lies in your hands after all." "Having said that, I would grant you four the rare honor of actually seeing the work chambers of the Department of Mysteries. It is a restricted area to most people that arent Unspeakables, but for today, I can make an exception" he said smiling at the four Hogwarts students. Yes obviously the invitation wasnt extended to a certain International Coop Department Head, but Ren doesnt really care much about her. She is not a child and in his assessment her mind cannot be molded unless one uses one of those Muggle contraptions meant to build tires. |
