The large office reserved for the Department Head, hasn't changed much over the years and certainly not since it's extensive renovations conducted by Former Department Head, Evander Bole. On that occasion the office was stripped wall to wall and ceiling to floor, and extensively laden with security charms creating a net of impenetrability. These charms, hexes, jinxes, curses and a multitude of advanced spells cross over and intertwine in places making it impossible to get into and impossible to eavesdrop upon. Anyone who has tried have found themselves permanently without ears.

The office still contains its distinguished mahogany interior, though they have recently received a polish. There are two large wall-to-wall shelves spanning the back and side of the room occupied by thick tomes of various colours and sizes. A large world map has been fixed to the wall beside the door, with a deliberate tangle of coloured string and newspaper clippings fixed to the areas of importance. A collection of portraits have been stuffed into a box and left in the corner, only a few portraits hang on the walls, these are the most recent MLE Department Heads. The focal point of the room, much as it was previously, is the large desk and leather chair, though it is usually unoccupied. One of the more notable differences, is the lack of chairs for visitors, in the room; instead of the usual six, there are only two, and they doesn't look too comfortable. Emily doesn't wish to encourage people to visit and 'chat' for extensive periods of time, preferring to keep people on task and active in their roles.

The handsome fireplace on one of the walls has only a few direct floo links, and these are password protected – restricting those coming in and going out. The password changes every week but the links are always active. If anyone where to try to floo their way in or out without the correct password, they would find themselves in one of the holding cells on Level Two.

Passed down from Former Department Head, Wesley Ferguson, Emily keeps a monthly calendar engraved in the desk. It changes as the month turns and is only visible with a spell Emily would have to teach you herself, should she consider you to be significant enough to be privy to her plans.

There are no photographs in the room, and no personal items. In fact, if it wasn't for her name on the door, you would be hard pressed to find evidence of it being her space. Emily keeps her work extremely organised and secured, the only papers you will find on her desk when she's not present are those which have not long ago found their way into her in-tray.

Emily spends as little time in her office as possible, preferring to be out and about on business, or mingling with her employees, feasting in the food court or stocking up on coffee for the copious amounts of paperwork which will need to be done. For this reason, her door is always locked and well secured, so unless you know the password of the hour, and are exceptionally skilled in the art of survival, you could, avoid dismemberment and spontaneous combustion, and get in.

You are here.

OOC: Please read the thread description before posting here! This is not a public thread, but anyone is welcome to have their character knock on the door, assuming they have come through reception first. Emily probably isn't in, though, so it would be best to make an appointment first.

The office can be used, with permission from the Department Head, for division meetings if the conference room is in use, or if a smaller, more intimate setting is required.
