As she did so, she glanced at Lauren, Adam, and Jane and asked "You guys ok? Is anyone hurt?"

(There was a reason he worked with potions after all!)
But as he braced for rubble to hit him, all that made contact was fluff. He let go of Laurel and looked up to see feathers floating around them. One landed on his face and he sneezed, loudly. "Vell," he said rubbing his nose and looking very embarrassed. "You vere right. Deazz did nicht klaim me." today he added mentally.
He looked around, eyes staring off to the left of everyone. "Eferyone alife?" he called.

Hallie herself had all but gotten lost. Quote:

"These will all need returned to their shelves," he directed calmly, his eyes lingering only for a moment on the floor before returning to the wand which he then nuzzled against his cheek and promptly returned it to his enchanted breast pocket. "I will attend to the rest on my way out. I expect everything back on the shelves and recatalogued by the end of the day if you lot expect to keep your jobs."
"Get to it," he growled, snapping his head around as a final warning to the assembled Unspeakables before beginning his exit and brandishing his wand here and there to repair any other shattered orbs that may be on the floor.

Nope...there was nothing but fluff and feathers and bits of fabric and he wasn't sure a mending charm would put that Humpty Dumpty back together.
And speaking of putting things back together. He was a bit surprised that Airey was able to salvage the orbs. He had always been under the impression that once broken, the prophecy was gone for good. "Laurel..." His voice housed a thousand questions as he turned to make eye contact with the seer's - ah face.

Unfortunately, this had been her first face to face contact with their Department Head since her return, and needless to say, it had been chaos. Before Laurel could say or do anything Adam had taken a hold of her and turned her away so that he shielded her from any rubble from the golem. A very noble and heartwarming gesture but she was perfectly capable of shielding herself from harm. When the feather’s rained down over them and the golem had been reduced to mere pillows again by Airey, Laurel glanced around at the others. Nodding she interjected. "I'm okay too, no injuries." Which was more than they could say about the damaged and destroyed orbs at their feet. Looking over at Adam she just smiled. "I told you, you wouldn’t die." It wasn’t in his cards to die for a long time.
Hearing Jane’s question Laurel furrowed her brows slightly as she looked down at one of the leaking orbs at her feet while answering. "Fortunately all the orbs prophecies are catalogued in writing. If the orbs are too damaged beyond our repair, then yes the prophecy that it kept will be lost forever." Luckily she had made sure to keep a written record of things too or they’d be in deep trouble with the minister of magic.
Laurel was about to take out her wand and start repairing orbs when of course the newest employee in the department had to ask the million galleon question. Turning her attention to Hallie she answered. "Because we had trouble with the same rock golem a few years ago too. It disappeared on us when we battled and searched for it last time. We just assumed that it was gone, but at least now it’s gone for good." Sigh.
Producing her wand Laurel gave her wand a few flicks and watched how some mended orbs retook their places on the shelves. Jane poised some thoughtful things but now wasn’t the time to consider who and why. Before Laurel could say so however Airey growled out orders to clean up the mess. She silently watched him leave before she shook her head and turned to Adam who’s voice held a hundred questions in just one word. Sighing deeply Laurel said with a look at Catherina. "No, Airey isn’t usually hostile at all. Something is up with him." This was though not the time to dwell on why. "Adam, can you help us with the repairs or do you prefer examining the golem remains?"
