"Hmm it is quite confusing, but im sure i will get used to it" he continued ; "What have i missed since i have been gone?"
Armen practically swelled with excitement at having one of his employees back from...leave. He thought he would leave the question of where John had been for a later time or perhaps the Division Head would just have to poke around in Human Resources at the man's folder. Oh well that would be later.
He clapped the Portkey Employee on the back as he asked what he had missed.
"Well John, as I'm sure you noticed from...wherever you were, the Quidditch World Cup commensed a few months ago and we were right in the thick of it here on Level 6." Armen rubbed his hands together.
"We were in charge of setting up and regulating the forms of Transportation to and from the event." he then thought.
"After that it was a bit quiet for a bit, and then the Ministry underwent a remodleing and you came here just as they finished. We currently have a Level-wide party going on in the Conference room if you would like to pop down there sometime." Nodding he continued.
"Umm... and that is about it. You've met the new Department Head, Mr. Trumbell and your desk is whichever one over there you would like!" he ended happily.

There was always a new fire to extinguish in some part of Britain. Hearing her stomach grumble she heard Armens question repliying "Yes, I do actually. I'm hungry and its not even lunch time." Grabbing a frog for herself she opened the box to look at the card inside. This time she got one of Neville Longbottom. "Do you collect wizard cards Armen? I got Longbottom this time."
Armen looked up from of few of his work forms as Ingrid began to reply to his morning greeting.
"Well I am doing well this morning, popped into the little muggle cafe across the street for the first time, will definately be going back there sometime. I met the Senior Undersecretary there, you know; Very nice woman." he nodded watching her open her chocolate frog and examining the card she showed him.
"Yeah I actually do collect them Ingrid. A neville is pretty cool, I have one of him." he reached for one of his frogs and opened it, checking what card he got.
"Ooh look I got a Kingsley Shacklebolt!" he said excitedly.
"So Ingrid do you collect the Wizarding Cards?" the Portkey Division Head said to his colleage, and desk neighbor.

One look at him and Laura could tell he was excited. Grinning, she looked back down at her desk and at the photo of her and her sister. It wasn't moving, of course. She sat down, stretched her fingers, and picked up her quill. Then she slowly began work on a fresh pile of Portkey request forms.
Armen didn't have a chance to reply to Laura's excited question to him before she turned back to her desk to begin the day's work. He smiled at her regardless, she was such a good worker and that would no doubt earn her a promotion one day.

"INCOMING!!!" Theron shouted to warn the others, as he quickly duck as the fireball came soaring towards him. He took out his wand and pointed at the fireball, "Aguamenti!" he shouted, but as soon as the water his the fireball, it multiplied into three other fireballs. Theron continued to duck. What was it going to take to stop these things if water didn't work?

Pulling out her wand she called out "Watch out everyone! The fireballs can set fire to everything. Protect the files and important memos, but most of all take cover!"
Ingrid ducked again as two fireballs came straight for her. Seeing the danger she cried out "Protego!" over her desk. At least now her desk and its supplies would be protected. While she had done that Theron had tried killing the fireballs with water which had only caussed them to multiply.
Determined to take all the fire balls out Ingrid raised her wand and walked straight for the biggest group of fireballs flicking her wand snappily "Immobulous!" hoping that it would stop the fire balls in their tracks.
As Armen had been looking at Laura begin to work, he had failed to meet the new Floo Network's Division Head. He had also failed to see the fireball that had shot out of the desk, and then split into three, until it flew so close to his chocolate frog card that it was senged.
"What in Merlin's horned toad?!" he shouted jumping up from his chair and casting the Wizard card aside. He pulled out his wand and followed Ingrid's lead in casting a sheild charm on his desk, he had way too many important forms on there to get destroyed.
He watched at the fireballs flew around the office and came pretty close to the other employees and their belongings.
"Everyone use Protego on your desks. And protect yourselfs too." he said loudly. Armen saw Ingrid been to slow the flying flames with Immobulus. He didn't know what spell Craig Wickham could have used to create these things, but he may recieve a summons to the Division for Experimental charms. The only thing he could think of would be to try and finish off the fires. He poitned his wand at one of the stopped fireballs across from his desk at eye-level.
"Finite!" he shouted and the spell making the flames stay alive ended and the fireball disappeared.
"Everyone cast Finite on the remaining two Fireballs and they should die." he said glad to have found something that could stop the menacing fire balls flying around Level 6.
