More and more of the protesters were getting through the doors, but considering they outnumbered the MLE employees there by about 10 to one, it wasn't all that surprising. Thankfully several more MLE turned up to help. Experienced ones to boot. "Just encircle the protesters for now, please guys," Gabriel said, directing his words to all who had spoken to him. All except Damien - he reserved a special grunting growl for his friend. "I just want to smash their heads together and try and get it through to them. Do you think that's legal?" he asked, turning his eyes in the Auror's direction.
When Damien mentioned Van, Gabe knew he was right. The boss would ultimately have the last word on what to do with them all. He turned his eyes on Gina. He'd tried to be reasonable with her, but it certainly didn't seem to be working. And that darn man and his shouting was not helping. Gabe was almost wishing that Lights would take up the challenge and deck him.
And when Recard showed up it was the final straw. They would deal with him in a minute, or maybe Damien would do it all by himself - that'd be fun to see. But right now, Gabriel was putting his wand to his throat to enhance his voice. "ENOUGH!" He turned around and looked at all the protesters, a calm expression on his features. "If you wish to protest in a calm and peaceful manner inside the Ministry, then you will do so behind this cordon!" A flourish of wand and a large area was fenced off with tape and hoardings. "Anyone daring to leave it will be deemed to be committing an offence and there are plenty of MLE employees here who will arrest you and put you in holding. For your own good."
As much as it pained him to to threaten people who were trying to do good, he had to for now. "I appreciate what you are all trying to do," that was said with a shooting glance towards Recard, "but my job is to ensure the safety of EVERYONE inside this building - and I will not allow a riot to start."
Removing his wand, Gabriel walked over to Recard, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Damien. "You don't need to have your wand out, Recard. The MLE have that covered. Despite what you may believe, we're capable of doing a job without 'help'" quote marks in the air? Check. "from the Transportation Head." And if you don't Damien will hex your face off. Not that that would be a bad thing. Probably an improvement. Quote:

Then big mouth, the one he thought he had gotten rid of for good, showed up and began to smart off to him. "Damien, you're back? Merlin I need warnings for this sort of thing, I thought there had been some more hot air in the Ministry today." he said eyeing the man who was trying to tell him to put his wand away. "I am a Ministry official and I do believe I rank higher than yourself. I demand respect and I will put my wand away seeing as your Aurors seem to have things under control for once, thanks to Gaberiel here. But I am NOT leaving until things are solved and these Rioters are repremanded."
He then turned icily to Gabriel. "You listen here sir. What sort of protection are you setting up for those who are being traitors to their own government. They complain about how badly they are treated here, well they had their choice in picking their allegiances and you all in MLE know this all too well, do you need reminding?" he said his finger dangerously close to poking the guy in the chest. "Now I am not going to just stand by while the Ministry's so claimed 'finest' allow these rebels to protest our Minister Lord Borr and those loyal to him for their own ignorant reasons. Order them away this instance and if they don't leave I suggest arrests should be in order!" he said triumphantly. It is moments like these that he wished Department Heads had the right to incarcerate people themselves. He will lobby for that next time he sees his Lordship. Quote:

With everything going on, everything finally in place to take the cult down, as well as all the usual MLE related problems like murders in Knockturn Alley, missing Diagon Alley shopkeepers and other strange disappearances, Van hadn't slept in days.
He didn't draw his wand as he approached and in fact he raised his voice, intending to be heard by his own employees and obeyed.
"Wands away." He glanced around at them. They were just doing their jobs. "They are not the enemy, MLE." Van nudged through the crowd and stepped into the fountain himself, offering one hand in supplication to Gina Latorta.
"Will you give me just a moment of your time, Gina? I have to ask you something of the utmost importance." He spoke gravely and his expression was sincere. He needed the woman's help, her cooperation, or everything would be for nothing. The safety of the people was at stake and Evander was concerned that those who were striking didn't know how very at risk they were. The cult was not simply some mundane organisation that had political power and liked flowers and trees and all that rubbish. No. They were murderers. They were tyrants. People that got in their way died or disappeared with alarming regularity. Van didn't want to see Gina one of those people.
Through all this he ignored Recard entirely. Wands.... away? Sonny? Really? WANDS AWAY?
Wesley growled but listened to Van, who was pretty much the only person he would listen to right now. He lowered his wand to his side, not tucking it into its holster just yet though.
He could have really used a second wand just then, because then could have stunned both Recard and LaTorta at the same time and the whole fiasco would be done with. Grunt. If only.
Wes crossed his arms menacingly and regaled himself to watching the whole scene unfold, wondering what sort of plan Van had to end this mess....
