Jayden couldn't fully contain his laugh. "Oh. I doubt Armen would know what they were for. But I'm sure someone in manufacturing would have some sort of idea." There was no way he was the only one familiar with muggles in the department.

"Plus. It's not like it wouldn't meet the criteria." It was supposed to be something muggles wouldn't bother with. He glanced over at one of the aisle corner displays. "A pair of these would work as well." he said picking up a pair of ordinary store slippers.

Two done... two to go...

He glanced at her collection. "That's hardly a stash." he commented. "I've got a cupcake hidden in my desk." Of course... now that wasn't much of a secret. He also had a few candies and a bag of pretzels.

"I think your stash may need some expert advice to be a proper one." Advice he was very capable of giving.

They were going to need a cart.

Jade shook her head as a small giggle came out. "To see his face when if you did bring it in would be worth trying, but I'm sure you are right about someone having an idea about it. It would still be hilarious." Female products always got the strangest reactions from people after all. "I still say you take it in for a laugh."

"Well that's not fun. We'll have to find you something else then," she shrugged as she followed his line of vision and saw the slippers. "Kind of ordinary, but I'm sure that would be a safe choice." She was still unsure what they were looking for, but it was still fun to here.

Playfully, she slapped his shoulder and shook her head. "You know that I don't snack enough to have a huge stash." It was a rare occasion for her to even want a bit of chocolate at work, so she kept her supplies small. "You and your cupcake," she added with a small laugh.

Shaking her head, she gave him a look. "My stash is perfect the way it is, thank you. If it gets too big, I'll end up getting big myself and I do have a figure to maintain." A few Galaxy bars and some digestives were perfect for her.

Maine walked into the muggle convenience store, desperate for some chocolate. She couldn't take it anymore. Her slimming campaign had gone on long enough.

Two years without chocolate, and Maine was depressed. She needed comfort food and she was sick of frozen yogurt.

CHOCOLATE, WHERE ARE YOU?! Maine screamed mentally, searching the aisles.

"Please don't tell me they're out of chocolate!" she moaned.

Joey walk into the store and got a basket.she filled with snack for her sisters and Kids.But for big kid and her lots of starbucks tea & coffe for each Holiday she could find.She bump into someone,Hello I;m Joey Mcinytre.You work with my cousin Victoria.

Maine rubbed her head. Ow!

"Oh, hello, Joey." she smiled sadly. "Yes, I know Victoria."

Now for her chocolate... THERE IT WAS!

Grabbing one. bar. of. white. chocolate, Maine headed over to the counter to pay for it.

Well I'm having Twins she said with a smile.i need as much coffee as can her the frist 6 months so you will she me here all the time.If i was you get drak chocolate good for your heart.

Maine smiled. "That's nice!" she said, holding her chocolate as if her life depended on it.

"Actually, I think I'll stick with this one." she grinned, holding up her white chocolate. "I've been away from chocolate for almost 2 years and I kinda need comfort food."

Chocolate was vegan, right? RIGHT?!

Jayden chuckled. "It's settled then." he said walking down the aisle and picking up the first box he saw. (He didn't look to check the details.)

He nodded. "Yes, I'm sure we could find other interesting choices." he said setting the slippers back down and looking around. "I just need to find things that would make good..." he lowered his voice, "portkeys."

Ehh... it wasn't like his job was any kind of secret.

"Yes. I know. I still plan on convincing you of the wonders of snacking one day..." he said with a chuckle. "One day you might kind that I've broken into your department and stashed the largest bag of potato chips and the largest chocolate bar I can find in your desk." Of course, that was highly unlikely. You didn't just walk into the Department of Mysteries.

"And you look absolutely perfect." he said giving her a kiss. "But you know I'd love you no matter what you looked like." If she decided one day that she'd live on nothing but ice cream he'd still love her. And possibly join her.

Then, out of the corner of his eye he noticed a bejeweled hairbrush. Shiny. Perhaps that would make a good portkey?

Or a good addition to his bathroom?

Jade smiled and shook her head as she followed behind Jayden. Just the sight of him with that box in his hand made her laugh. He didn't seem to be uncomfortable with picking it up and if she ever needed him to pick some thing of that nature up, she would remember this; but it wasn't like she really would need any thing like that.

She smiled. "You know some thing dull can be interesting to another person." she remarked as she picked up one of those silly call-box figurines that the tourists loved and placed it back down. Leaning in to hear him, she nodded and lowered her voice as well. "Portkeys. Gotcha, you secret is safe with me." Now, she had an idea what they could look for.

She shook her head and smiled up at her boyfriend. "You can try your best, but I can not promise you will succeed," she replied with a wink. "Really a bag of crisps and a large bar of chocolate? Like the one they sell at that theme park about chocolate?" She remembered hearing about a place when she was in the States a few years ago. "You know I would love to see you try to smuggle those things into my desk," she laughed, knowing that he probably wasn't at all serious about it. No one just walked into the Department of Mysteries like that. She knew some Unspeakables that didn't just walk into their department like that.

Jade blushed slightly as she returned his kiss. "Thank you, but I liked to keep my figure all the same." She knew that he didn't care if she did gain a few pounds, but she didn't want to let herself go and end up gaining a stone. "You know I will hold you to that when I let myself go in a few years." she teased as she nudged him as they continued down the aisle. Like she would ever allow herself to let go like that.

Following his eyes, Jade caught sight of the shiny brush. It was very cute after all. "Shiny...you really can't go wrong with some thing like that, but won't that attract attention?" She was drawn to it, so others might be as well and that wouldn't be good if it got in the wrong hands.

Walking down a ways, she stopped and picked up a shoe horn. "It's plain enough, don't you think?"

Tim walked into the Convinience store and wandered through the aisles trying to find what he wanted.He looked at the shelves,his mind was befuddled by all the diffrent foods Muggles have.''What in the name of Godric Gryffindor.''He was Half Blood but he had knew the Wizarding World alot.He bought a muesli bar a yoghurt and a packet of Vege Chips.He paid for it and walked out the door off to find a place to eat.

Making Friends? or Enemies?
 

Elizabeth walked in with her wand hidden in her cloak. SHe walked down the aisles looking at things to buy. Hmm... I think i need coffee. She heads to the coffee machine and started to make her some.

Rose entered the store although she didn't really want to buy anything here..she just wanted to get away from the cold for a little while. Anyway..now that she was here, she might as well browse around and find something interesting to buy.

She was looking at some of the chocolates on display, when she accidentally bumped into someone nearby. "Gosh, I'm so sorry!" Rose said, with an apologetic smile on her face.

anyone. :')
 

Chelsea looked over and spotted a girl she'd seen in the ministry. Oh burning blueberries! She was a Transportation girl - and possibly one of of Armen's little minions.

Smiling at the other women she chuckled. "Its alright really - I'm Chelsea Payne." She noted the girls aplogetic smile and felt herself relax. If she were one of Armen's clut-girls she wouldn't be apologetic. She'd just have been 'attacking' the new MLE girl. Maybe - just maybe this girl was cool.

Maybe she was Anti-Borr as well! That would be absobloodylutely amazing. "This maybe be an odd question but - don't you work on Level Six with um Recard?" she asked, smiling. "I work in the same area technically but Level two with Bole." okay so she had just let on she was in the Ministry Law Enforcement. Maybe that was a sign that hey I'm anti cult, antiBorr, and antiArmen.

"I'm Rose. Rose Wallace. Nice to meet you, Chelsea." Rose said, with a smile in her face. She noticed that Chelsea seemed to recognise her but..Rose wasn't sure if she'd met her before or not. Huh. She was about to ask Chelsea if she worked at the Ministry as well when..

"Yes. Yes, I do work on Level Six.." Bole? Ahhh, right. She worked in MLE..and MLE's are Anti-Borr and Anti-Recard. Nice. "Oh. That's great." Rose tried to be as friendly as possible. She didn't have any problem with the MLE's..but she wasn't sure if it would be the same the other way around.

Chelsea smiled when Rose said her name. Rose Wallace - sounded like a nice name. Ah - and she did work with Recard. Her back tightening as Rose spoke said she was from Magical Transportation. Was she Anti-MLE like most of the people on her level - or was she a good one a smart one? She sure looked smart. Chelsea hoped she was.

"Its a pleasure to meet you Rose its nice to meet a fellow ministry official." She smiled. Chelsea hadn't been at the Picket lines so she hadn't seen Rose cheering to get Borr out of office. "What is it like working in Transportation?" She asked kindly. Niceness was the best thing to use right?

Becky quickly stepped into the muggle store, hunting coffee and chocolate. She picked up a breakfast bar and made herself a coffee. She nearly didn't pay. What? She was a pureblood. What would she know?

Rose noticed that Chelsea seemed to slightly stiffen when she said that she worked in Magical Transportation. Sigh. Borr. It was his fault. Everything that was going wrong at the Ministry was because of him. Uh. She also blamed Armen for supporting Borr..in everything. However, she'd never say that aloud.

"It's great to meet you too, Chelsea." Gosh, it was starting to get a little awkward so.. "Look, I know our departments have..problems but it doesn't mean we can't get along..right?" Rose honestly didn't want to fight or argue with someone just because that person happened to work in MLE. That was just silly.

Chelsea relaxed slightly when Rose said she wanted to get along. She did too - Rose seemed nice. She didn't want to have to be on the prowl all the time like some lioness looking for a fight. She was no meerkat either - she wasn't simply going to let herself get eaten.

Nodding she had to agree. Getting along was so much better. "I would love that - sorry I'm just still on edge since Emily attacked Recard...but needless he was kind of asking for it - since she's got a boyfriend, and is what half his age?" Yeah she might have been calling Recard old. Wait, she was. "So what brings you to the store - me i'm looking for things to make for dinner and can't seem to find anything worth while - probably will end up going somewhere downtown." Winking she hoped Rose would get that downtown meant to Wizarding London - specifially 'round the Cafe with Coloured Umbrella's. Her favorite haunt.

When Chelsea mentioned Emily, Rose couldn't help but stare at her. "Erm..Emily? Emily who works on level 2?" Oh. Was she possibly the Emily Rose was friends with and...she did what? When did on earth all that happen and why didn't she hear a word about it?

"Well, I just wanted to get away from the cold for a little while..I'm not sure if I want to buy anything at the moment." Rose smiled before she looked all around her..trying to see if there was anything that caught her eye.

Tim walked into the Store and noticed someone at the counter who most likely didn't understand Muggle Money.He walked over to her and said''Do you need a a hand.''

Rose knew Emily? Rose must have been good then.

Chelsea nodded. "Yeah thats the one Emily Brown...the YATI - yeah she sent a stinging charm at Armen's bum when he told her she liked him....you should visit the MLE some time" Chelsea offered with a smile. After all if she knew Emily she'd be accepted right? Right?

Ah not sure if she wanted anything. Chel knew that feeling. "Mmm, same here...I might just end up buying cookies and tea" she admitted with a chuckle. "You know we should talk sometime outside of the ministry other than this - i mean you sound like a really cool person" she smiled. She had instaliked Rose when she told her basically that she knew Emily Browne.

anyone
 

Kyle walked into the Muggle Convienence Store and was pretty pleased to do so. She was very hungry and decided to pick up a snack to tide her over til quitting time. She went straight to the microwave pizza. She loved pizza. It was one of her favorite muggle foods.
