"But Ravenclaw won the Cup this year," she added in a proud voice.
"Um, well..." she started, not knowing what to say. How is she supposed to explain that she was only here because it was part of a deal with Samantha? Deciding to ignore that question she smoothly transitioned into the next. "Well, I think I might. I don't know what I want to be after I graduate, but I do know that I want my job to be fun," she said with a smile. "And, if it's not rude to ask, what is this Department for? I mean, what do actually work on? I've always wondered," she added, blushing again at her bluntness.

Ben smiled kindly at the pride in her voice when she mentioned Ravenclaw. "Ahh, that's lovely. I do miss Hogwarts and all the house pride we Badgers used to have." he said, sighing as he recalled the memory of his school days.

"Of course it's not rude!" he told the girl with a chuckle when she asked him what the Department did. "To be honest, not a lot of people really know what we do here. Basically this whole department deals with spells that go wrong. Say you were trying to clean your curtains, but you accidentally did the spell wrong and set them on fire instead, and because you did it wrong the flames were resistant to all types of extinguishers--then you'd call us. Also, if a Muggle somehow witnesses any type of magical activity, accident or not, and their memory needs to be wiped clean, we take care of that as well. Oh, and we have a lovely department in here where we come up with fake news stories to feed the Muggles if there is a mass curse gone aray or something--very popular during the time of You-Know-Who," he explained, absentmindedly stirring his tea over and over as he spoke.
