Office of Department Head Isobel Ferguson

One would think that Isobel Ferugson is rather paranoid. Before she even started one the rest of the department she stripped the office back to basics, and with the help of Wesley Ferguson, department head of Magical Law Enforcement she put up a number of security spells, hexes and curses. Being an ex-auror Isobel did quite trust anything that had previously been placed on the room. The office now is pretty much impenetrable, and one can only enter if they know all of the spells that in place. Only a select number of people know this, so it is probably a good idea to not try to break into the office.

When one does get into the room it is clear that the office is now inhabited by a woman. Along with the décor of the break from the department head’s office is now decorated in a light blue colour, which is supposed to promote a relaxing atmosphere within the room. The main focus of the room is the large mahogany table, behind which the department head is sat when she is in the office. The desk has a small collection of photographs clustered on one side, whilst the main focus of the left hand side of the desk is a calendar that has been engraved into the desk. The calendar was a gift from Isobel’s Husband Wesley Ferguson, and the two calendars are enchanted to show the couple each other’s appointments.

To the right of Isobel’s desk is a handsome fireplace, which is connected to other various fireplaces within the ministry and beyond, to aid quick transportation. The fireplace is of course pass worded, and only Isobel and the people she trusts know the password. Of course the destinations this fireplace connects to are also unknown to most, and if one was to try to use the fireplace by force they may find there selves ending up in the holding cells in Level Two. Above this fireplace hangs a rather large commissioned portrait of Isobel and her husband Wesley. The subjects are sometimes within the portrait, but more often than not they can be seen visiting other portraits within the ministry.

Tucked in a corner of the office is a small table surrounded by eight chairs. This is often where the department head may hold small meetings with employee’s or maybe the other department head’s. If any unspeakables require a small area to hold meetings they may inquire about using this space, although the answer will only be in the affirmative if Isobel is not using the office.

Despite all of the security spells, hexes and curses that are in place within the office Isobel is quite a nice woman, and the door is always open to any of her employees. All they need do is knock on the door.

Leonidas walked up the small set of stairs that lead to Department Heads office to formally introduce himself and to see where his work station was. when he reached the door, he took the emerald partof his walking stick/wand, and gently rapped on the door.

Ren Sakura 05-15-2011 07:23 AM

Coming from the meeting with his Unspeakables at the workstations, Ren Sakura walked up to the platform that is his office. He slowed his pace slightly when he found somone was already there seeking audience. As he strode up beside the man the Dept Head gave him a quick glance and, not saying a word otherwise, he continued into the doorway, the protective shield-door vanishing immediately to let him through.

Orion Black 05-16-2011 05:11 PM

Leonidas walked into his bos's office and sat down. He took out his wand and waved it at the door and it shut immediately.

"Good day, Mr. Sakura. I was wondering where my work station is and how I got there. I'd be much obliged if you can give me that information, please."

Ren Sakura 05-17-2011 09:22 PM

Dark, cruel eyes flickered from his desk towards the sound of the shutting door. Just when was there a door to this office? There was a protective shield at most, but oftentimes it was just an open doorway-- part of the open-door policy of the Ministry that Ren found most annoying.

His eyes trailed dangerously from the door towards the person speaking before him-- who also managed to find a seat in an office that obviously had no visitors chairs as he made sure there wasnt any. Ren's face scrunched up annoyed and with a flick of his wrist, silently made the seat beneath the other man vanish. He didnt care if that made the other fellow come crashing onto the floor.

"You will stand in my presence when you speak to me." He addressed the Unspeakable in an even tone, not bothering to stop from sorting out paperwork on his desk. Although it was noted that the other man addressed him properly, from which he gets a quick glance "Who are you?"

Orion Black 05-19-2011 02:52 AM

"Me? Well I'm pretty much a no one, sir. But my name is Leonidas Trevors. I work in the department where the brains are and to know Legillemancy and Occlumancy, as well as matters of the subconscience and special mind areas. I just can't seem to find that department, sir."

When the chair that he was sitting on suddendly he staggered backwards, obviously, but he managed to catch his footing andstand at attention. "Sorry,sir, I'll remember that one, also." He placed his wand back in the walking stick and stood straight and poised, as not to disrespect his boss again. He suddenly stopped thinking and made his mind all cloudy as to not let his boss read his mind. He waited for the answer to his original question.

Ren Sakura 06-02-2011 03:37 AM

"Mr Trevors....." he repeated the other man's name, eyes going to the parchment by the side of his desk. Yes there it is-- name, photo, background. The man is indeed who he says he is. Without pausing from his task he added exasperatedly "Mr Trevors, if you are a no one as you just said you are, then I definitely would not have taken you into this department-- indeed the entire Ministry would have just passed on your application." If this was the man's attempt to be modest, it didnt work on Ren.

What department of brains? "You mean the Thought Chamber" Ren scowled, this time pausing from his paperwork to look at the other man. If he had read the welcome letter properly he would know its proper name and the answer to most if not all his questions. But eh, new guys "The Thought Chamber is right there, by the foot of the stairs..." Ren angled his head as he used his eyes to direct the other man where to look, ".... its next to the Death Chamber and across from your work area.... which you probbaly saw when you came in from the entrance." Because you know, circular, shielded desks, right smack in the center of this silo like office-- cant miss it.

Just as he was about to return to his paperwork, something about what the other man said got him dangerously curious. Leaning back in his seat, the Department Head pressed his fingers against each other as he regarded the man across his desk. Finally he uttered "Why are you so interested to learn about legilimency and occlumency Mr Trevors? Have you had any experience or encounters with that subject matter?"

Orion Black 06-09-2011 09:03 PM

"Yes, sir. I have, indeed. It's not that I wish to learn those arts, because I already know how to use both. I was just explaining where I thought my work was to be and my desk, sir."

As he watched his superior turn his head, he did, too. He thought to himself, "Ahhh, there it is."

"Thank you, sir. I'm glad you straigtned me out to this. I will not try to bother you with these obviously foolish questions again, sir. But, if you should ever need my help with something, anything, I will be here, available to help you in anyway I possibly can."

Leonidas bowed to Mr. Sakura gracefully and straightened up and lifted his head and quickly left his boss's office, shutting the door behind him almost silently.

Following the direction of the employee on the floor Medea climbed the stairs.

Reaching the top of the stairs she looked around, ”Mr. Sakura?” This place was certainly different than every other department she visited. IT WAS AWESOME! This place was so quiet, spooky and intriguing. And the best part was they could be creating ANYTHING, and no one would know. Medea wanted to laugh a powerful cackle sort of laugh, but opted for a more professional approach. ”Mr. Sakura, its Medea Ward; I owl’ed you about the Liaison position?”

Ren Sakura 06-20-2011 10:44 PM

Dark eyes follow Trevors as he exits the door. It wasnt so much that Ren found him odd-- more so... inconsistent, the man's seemingly purposeful avoidance to direct questions being more of an conundrum with the Department Head. Was he hiding something? A truth or a bluff?

Mentally brushing the issue aside his eyes rest on another figure that appeared by the threshold "Oh yes, Ms Ward." he greeted her as he stood up respectfully. Quite uncharacteristic of him to do so, but then she is from Lord Borr's office. "Please have a seat." he gestured with his wand as a comfortable chair materialized across his his desk. He selected a document from amongst the paperwork and glanced over the letter quickly "Hmm, yes the Liaison position... do you mind if you can explain to me a bit more about what this person is supposed to do?"

The man seemed dark, mysterious and POWERFUL! oooohhhh aahhhhh Frankly Mr. Sakura could have been the dullest knife in the drawer but the position he held was impressive. Medea was sure he knew things that… that well could take over the world!

Collect yourself woman.

She nodded as she approached and took advantage of the offered seat. Like in the other offices the woman did not recline into the chair, but rather sat on the edge. She opened a file as he looked over his information sheet. Straight to business. ”Yes sir. It’s extremely basic really.” Medea shifted slightly and continued, ”The Liaison will continue to hold their position in your department and it would be their main occupation. Once a week I would require a status update from them regarding the department. This update would include ongoing projects, tasks completed, and any other important updates. This person really is intended to assist the Department Heads.”

The woman wasn’t sure she believed that. In her honest opinion the liaisons were Lord Borr’s spies. Why else would they have unlimited access to whatever they wanted? Meetings, personal records, memos. You name it they can obtain, and no one can stop them.

”Lord Borr knows the Department Heads are busy and don’t always have time to do weekly updates.” Most people would have smiled a friendly little smile at this moment; it seemed the right thing to do. But that wasn’t Medea, in most cases anyways. ”So, the Liaisons bring me a short update. I collect them all and deliver them all at one time.” A simple, concise and boring position really. Right? Maybe. Medea honestly had no idea… but she had hopes of sinister Department Head tattling and drama.

"Do you have anyone in mind?"

Ren Sakura 06-21-2011 08:45 AM

"Hmm...." the Department Head pressed his fingers together and looked carefully at the Minister's emissary. "Someone to assist me...." or keep tabs whether he was doing his job or not. Although really Ren shouldnt have to be bothered with Lord Borr, after all, if he wasnt babysitting adults then he is dealing with them outside of these halls on a request that would likely come from the same man himself.

Seriously he should be paid twice.

"So the Liason will be like... a deputy, to the Department Head? Taking a bit of the tedious work off our hands?" He would like to think that it was something as trivial a job that can be filled by a glorified Admin assistant, but sending reports out on a weekly basis was much more invasive. He slid a hand across the edge of his desk and braced his arms against it as he continued "Just how detailed would you require this update to be Ms Ward? You do know that in this Department there are information and activities that shouldnt be widespread Ministry knowledge, much less public knowledge."

His eyes glanced across the open area down the circular desks of the Unspeakables below "I may have..... but I want to keep my options open." he replied as his returned his gaze to the lady across his desk. Loose lips sink ships after all, certainly he wouldnt want to have such a person in so delicate a position.

This man seemed suspicious. As far as Medea was concerned, he probably had good reason. Not that she cared, her job was to get the Liaisons, not coddle the Department Heads and their insecurities.

”You can utilize them how you see fit, but yes a deputy of sorts. If you need to get information to the Minsiter’s office, or vice versa they could handle that for you.” Suddenly the conversation seemed to take a bit of a hard right. Was he implying she couldn’t be trusted? Or that Minister wasn’t competent enough to hire trustworthy people? Or was he trying to hide something?

”Mr. Sakura, the updates aren’t for me. The updates are for the Minister. She put emphasis on the word Minister. ”He is the one who tells me what information is required and collected.” Well, sorta. She had never spoken to the Minster, let alone met him. And more than likely she’d get instruction from Mr. Greingoth, and he’s the person she’d actually turn reports into. But she was sure Mr. Greingoth’s instructions came from Lord Borr.

The woman closed the file that was in her lap and folded her hands patiently on top of it. ”I’m not sure what you’re implying sir, but I assure you the reports will be handled with the strictest secrecy. Your Liaison already has knowledge of the goings on of the department, so there should be no concern with that.” Next up her, ”And Mr. Sakura if you are implying that I am not to be trusted I suggest you take that up with the Minster and Undersecretary as they are the ones that appointed me.”

Yes, she went there. Medea sat silently for a moment, the tension could be cut with a knife. With that said she had tremendous respect for this man, thoroughly impressed.

”I understand you’ll want to deliberate over the files and employees,” Medea paused for a moment and looked to where the man across from her had just been gazing. ”I will need to know your choice in two weeks time. I’m sure that won’t be an issue.” The dark haired woman didn’t want to be waiting around for him to make a decision. She would take it to a higher level if need be.

Ren Sakura 06-25-2011 07:09 PM

Ren listened to the Medea address his points. She made sense-- as far as her position was concern. Truly if Berty Borr-- or any of the brotherhood-- wanted certain updates from him, they would be hearing it directly from his own mouth, just as its always been.

But back to this sort of Ministry matters....

"Whether or not I trust you is not the issue Ms Ward..." the Department Head intoned keeping his eyes steadily at the Minister's emissary "I have been given responsibility to make sure the secrets of this Department and everything else that covers the greater interest of this Ministry remains strictly confidential. That includes Ministry personnel who shouldnt have any business learning of matters that doesnt concern them." And that is even more imperative when it does.

"I will inform you of who our Liason will be within that time." he added with a slight nod. "Anything else you wish to discuss with me Ms Ward?"

redifer 06-26-2011 02:19 AM

She didn’t nod, shift or move as he explained his position. Sure she understood his position and concern, but Minister had implemented these jobs. He wanted them filled, and it was her job to get the filled. She wasn’t there to ask questions.

Stone faced she took in what he said and slowly responded, ”An owl or memo response would be fine.” Medea then thought about the man’s suspicious nature, he might like another option better. ”However if you would like me to come down personally and retrieve the name and information I would be more than willing.”

With that she stood, ”No sir. That completes this meeting.” The dark haired woman turned and started toward the stairs.

The Announcer 06-30-2011 11:26 PM

A sudden flash of pale-violet appears in the office, and upon looking up, one can see that an interdepartmental memo in the form of a folded paper airplane has made its way in.

Once caught and unfolded, the memo inside will read:
Minister Berty Borr has called a mandatory meeting with the Senior Undersecretary and all Ministry Department Heads. The meeting will commence immediately in Courtroom 10 on the tenth level of the Ministry of Magic. Please be on time and bring with you all ideas and responses to the recent memo regarding the rejuvenating of our spirits and the oxygenating of our halls.

redifer 08-08-2011 10:13 PM

The memo shaped like a bird with a large beak soared into the office. As it found its appropriate recipient it began to squawk loudly at him.

It would continue to do so until he took the note, read it and responded.

Quote:


Mr. Sakura,

This letter is to inform you that I will be meeting today with the Undersecretary and do require an appointment to the Liaison position we spoke of.

A prompt reply is required appreciated.

Medea Ward
Internal Liaison Supervisor

Ren Sakura 08-09-2011 07:55 AM

Ren returned from the meeting at Courtroom 10 in very good spirits. If he was wont to laugh, the sound of amusement would've been heard echoing throughout the curved halls of Mysteries. Given that wasnt his nature his joviality was only betrayed by that smallest of rare smirks, which given the success of the Cult's influence throughout the Wizarding world, was becoming more and more a common occurrence gracing his features.

As he entered his office another memo was making its presence annoyingly obvious, and in the old days something that annoyed him would usually end up in shreds or burned in a few seconds. But the ever present mind remembers where he was and what his current duties are.

With a flick of his wand he nullified the enchantment over the memo, the squawking coming to a dead silence as the parchment unfolded itself quickly and flopped down onto his desk. A passing glance caught the name that sent the letter as his eyes narrowed. Yes he remembered this visitor and her request.

Settling himself in his seat he pointed his wand at the cabinet in the far corner of the room, the drawer sliding open silently as folders floated towards his desk. A review of the staff's dossier is in order in seems....

Lauralicious 08-25-2011 04:32 PM

Jenna made her way to the office of Mr.Sakura.She was really excited to do this interview.The department of mystiers had always fascinated her.This interview would surely be fun and really interesting.Standing in front of the door the blonde straightend her dress and knocked on the door.

After being done with all the other interviews she wasnt that nervous anymore and that was surely a positive aspect.Waiting for the deparmtent head to open the door for her the woman checked her reflectoon in the mirror one last time and nodded to herself.She was ready.

Ren Sakura 09-18-2011 02:38 AM

Ren tosses the files onto his desk and sighs inwardly, glaring at the stacks of paperwork like he would an annoying Muggle sympathizer. These were one of the things he didnt expect when he agreed to take on this assignment. Who knew filing through paperwork would be even more wearying than interrogation? He suddenly stood up, having the need to stretch his legs and get his blood circulating. Merlin he missed the blood pumping action of playing cat and mouse with the authorities.

He makes it to the door and sees the woman standing there. Eyes narrows for a split second and thought that whoever this was will have to walk with him. He has come to expect that most will go along his wishes anyway. Truly he doesnt remember anyone still alive who ever went against him. Funny isnt it?

"Miss..." he mumbled absently, sparing a momentary glance at the woman before sealing the office doorway shut with a shield charm. "I will be making my rounds, can I help you with anything?" he intoned, sounding anything but helpful. He started to make his way down the steps not really caring if the woman was keeping up or not.

PhoenixAuror169 10-17-2011 04:06 PM

Kyle was a bit nervous. She needed to get the Mysteries Department Head's permission to post flyers around level to endorse planting of trees. She cleared her throat and knocked gently on the door holding a stack of mixed flyers. She held a smile on her face as she spoke gently, and slightly softly. "Good Morning, Mr. Sakura. I am Kyle Ambrose, Comissioner of the Commission for the 2 R's in the Evironmental Regulation and Protection Department." She nodded gently.

Trish 10-19-2011 04:12 PM

Hermione again let Kyle introduce herself first, and then decided to do the same.."Good Morning Mr. Sakura. I'm Hermione Malfoy, also a Commissioner in the Environmental Regulation and Protection Department", she finished with a warm smile.

Ren Sakura 10-21-2011 08:38 AM

different timeline from that one *points to prev post*
 
Ren was shuffling through employee profiles in the filing cabinet at the far corner of his office when he heard a knock. He turned his head just as the two visitors introduced themselves and immediately pushed the cabinet shut. Environmental Protection employees, definitely the kind he would make time for instead of usually brushing most visitors away "Ms Ambrose, Ms Malfoy, please come in, have a seat." he said as he strolled back towards his desk, pointed his wand at the space across from his table and two seats materializing for his guests.

Trish 10-21-2011 01:31 PM

Hermione walked into the office, hopefully with Kyle right behind her..

"Thank you for seeing us Mr Sakura... The purpose of our visit is to ask you for permission to put up some posters around the department, here they are"



Hermione gave Mr. Sakura a few minutes to look at the posters before she said anything else... And also to give Kyle a chance to pipe in if she had anything to add..

Kyle smiled and nodded, as she let Hermione talk, since she had done the talking in Mr. Recard's office. She cleared her throat. "We'd greatly appreciate it if you would support our efforts in trying to reserve our environment."
