Perhaps more faulty brooms were being sent even outside the Ministry. Or other objects. The thoughts raced as he watched the Patronus fly off. Aurora didn't usually suck on her fingers, but these splinters warrented that when they struck blood after she had pulled out the splinters. Looking over at Kingston she nodded as she dropped her hand down again. "Yes, I'm okay Kingston. I got all the splinters out." Aurora paused over his Kingston's question remembering the reports lying on her desk. "It's possible," she admitted. "I've heard from the broom control division that there has been a rise in faulty broom shipments lately, but I don't know if that stretches to the shipments being delivered to the wrong places too." They had to investigate that too. Aurora had to make a list. Quote:

Oh good! This was where the brooms were? "Aurora, I got your message. What's this about faulty brooms?" she asked quickly. She glanced around the room, giving a polite nod to Rosemary and the Department of Magical Transportation employee. Karlton, she incorrectly thought his name was, but she wasn't sure. She took note of the brooms themselves. "Are these the brooms?" They looked a bit tired, she thought. Aurora didn't have a chance to say or do anything else before Peggy entered the breakroom out of breath. Nodding she affirmed to her colleague with a gesture to the broom bundle "Yes Peggy, those are the brooms. They have Nimbus Broom Company stickers, and seem to have a range of faults that need to be analyzed, documented and investigated further. I thought our departments could tag team on this case? Its not in anyones best interest if there are shipments of faulty brooms circling on the broom market." Aurora knew that Peggy would agree with that. Quote:

Rosemary's eyes lit the slightest bit seeing one of the brooms struggle towards her before falling, and her head tilted the slightest bit. "One at least seems to have some magic to it... but the charm seems too weak." Were these just prototypes of something new coming out? Why were they here?
She opened her mouth to respond regarding other floors, though she didn't have anything other than opinion, but paused noticing her own boss enter the room. Rose returned the head nod, before begrudgingly stepping back to let Peggy inspect as well. "One of them attempted to rise when I reached my hand out but it didn't seem strong enough. The handles are apparently rough too, so careful grabbing them." She had gloves in her bag if needed. It was always good to be prepared. Turning to Rosemary she indicated with a hand gesture to the sticker on the handle on the nearest broom. "The broom seem to come from the Nimbus Broom Company, Ms Scardino." It was clear that the employee from G&S preferred the professional and correct approach. Aurora had watched how one of the brooms had attempted to rise to Rosemary's hand, but had been too weak to do that, and it touched her heart. Even if she until a few months ago had been centered on creatures she could get upset when she saw brooms in peril. It wasn't right when the manufacturers sent out brooms with faults. Looking from Rosemary to Peggy and back she asked "Has G&S had any rise in reports of faulty broom shipments or broom shipments being delievered to the wrong place like this bundle of brooms clearly was?" The breakroom was not the place where they accepted deliveries.
