Jane turned at the sound of Ronan's voice and raised an eyebrow. "No one said is was your problem, I just assumed your office would want to be kept abreast of any unusual happenings around the Ministry, so you could be prepared. Of course, one could always just wait until things go wrong." Really, the man always seemed to get so angry at the drop of a hat--one would think an Auror would have better control of their emotions. But it troubled her to think she was somehow being branded a crackpot seeing conspiracies under every stone. She'd only been party to information on strange happenings a few times, not to mention that she'd been right about them. Maybe things wouldn't keep going so spectacularly wrong at the Ministry if people didn't ignore the early signs so often.

Well, at least she knew that the MLE office was aware of the situation, not that she had any hopes they would do anything about it. Jane used to feel she had some contacts in the office, back during the Neo-Alliance takeover, but lately she didn't know who to talk to anymore. At any rate, she did not intend to waste any more energy arguing with this prickly, self-important Auror. But it might be interesting to watch her colleague interacting with him, if the initial conversational opening was any clue.
