Default Entry Chamber



The Department of Mysteries is a section of the Ministry of Magic that carries out confidential and labyrinthine research, and much like the concepts studied here, it is perhaps the most confusing to navigate. There is no main corridor and therefore no reception desk nor receptionist. Instead there lies a circular chamber circular room with a dark marble floor that looks almost like standing water. Floating candles emitting a cool blue light illuminate the room with an eerie glow. Whenever a door closes, the walls rotate, making it impossible to determine which door is which. For those who have business within the Department, all one must do is speak the name of the Chamber or Room with which said business is and the room will guide you - spinning until the appropriate door stops directly in front of you. It is not uncommon that visitors to the Department will walk through the door only to find themselves right back where they started and may need to wait for an Unspeakable to pass by to assist as this Spinning Room is known to have a mind of its own.

OOC: this is a PUBLIC thread. All Ministry employees and visitors are welcome to RP here and have creative license (within reason) over the Spinning Room. It is not uncommon that the room enjoys pulling the leg of non-Unspeakables, however. If your character is here to visit with a Mysteries employee, you can feel free to post on through to the appropriate area. Please keep in mind that due to the secretive nature of the Department of Mysteries that their may be severe consequence IC for entering certain Chambers and Rooms that are not PUBLIC. Please contact the Department Head if you have concerns or questions.

So, trusting his ears to guide him, he hadn’t bothered with his support cane. Therefore, no tappity-tap-tapping announced his presence.

As he had approached the Entry Chamber, he had heard it spinning and paused to wait for it to stop. Perhaps his ears were playing tricks on him, but he could have sworn he heard his name. Odd…why would someone be calling for him? His heart began hammering in his chest. He wondered briefly if Reil was calling out for him. Maybe he would take a brief side-trip to the Thought Chamber before he headed out to the food court for lunch. Just to make sure that the encephalons weren’t restless or up to something again.

As he opened the door, the room immediately set to spinning again. Out of habit, Adam closed his eyes as he waited for the room to stop spinning again. Only…

What was that sent in the air? It was familiar. He sniffed and turned slightly, but the spinning room made locating and identifying the smell difficult.

It was going to spin again, why was it spinning, why couldn't she get out? Zita was nearly in a panic when a door opened and a very familiar person walked inside. Could he see her? No, he didn't, she noticed he turned in the other direction. She tried to move, but the spinning was just too much and she sighed a bit and just tried to hold on to the nearest thing.

"Adam, why is this doing this?"

Wait...

Was he even there? Was he real? Was this stupid room playing tricks on her?

The room was almost done spinning when he heard his name again. Adam turned away from the entrance that stopped in front of him (and would have led him to the Thought Chamber). He knew that voice "Sita?" He of course was 'looking' completely in the wrong direction. Perhaps he had heard incorrectly. Maybe one of the other encephalons had learned how to call out to him.

But no. Her being here would explain why he was smelling the scents he usually associated with Zita. He still wasn't sure if it was her hair products or her perfume. And there was something else... a baked good?

But why would she be here? How would she have gotten down here? Had she gotten into one of the rooms? Did he need to report this to Security? If she had gotten through one of the doors, what had she seen? Was she okay? He knew all too well how stumbling into the wrong room could cause lasting problems.

Hearing him say her name was probably the best sound she had heard since coming into this damn thing. All she wanted to do was try and do something nice for someone (this was a rare thing for her) and look where it got her. She was almost sick from all the spinning, confused as to why they would have this stupid thing like this, and getting more irritated with even trying to come here as the moments ticked on.

"Adam what the hell is this? Why does it keep spinning?" She finally got over to him and put a hand on his shoulder more to steady herself than anything. Once her hand was on his shoulder she did close her eyes to try to get the movement to stop.

"You seriously go through this every day here? How are you still working here?"

"You seriously go through this every day here? How are you still working here?"

”It’s zee entry chamber,” he said obtusely, completely misunderstanding her emotions and question. ”It’s vhat it does.” He’d never really thought to question why the chamber spun and made things difficult, but now that she had brought it up, a realization came to him. ”It is ein zecurity meazure.” Because the average person wouldn’t want to see what was behind those doors and he really hoped she hadn’t made it through to one of the other rooms.

”Did vou try any of zee doors?” he asked, hoping he sounded curious and not worried or accusatory. He felt her hand on his shoulder and reached for her waist to help steady her. Maybe the enchantment just didn’t hit Unspeakables the same way. He’d have to ask his boss about it sometime. Truthfully though, spinning didn’t bother him much, especially now that his eyesight was limited. But get him on a boat or something that rocked under his feet and he’d loose his lunch before you could say ‘sea sick.’ ”Guess I got uzed to it. Clozing your eyes helps.” He of course, couldn’t tell that Zita already had closed her eyes.

”Vhat are vou doing here?” he inquired a small smile pulling on his lips. ”I zought your classes had started.” Despite his concerns about a possible security breach, he was happy to see her. He’d never ever had anyone try to visit him. All his social interactions had always been planned. It wasn’t that Adam wasn’t spontaneous – but rather that he just didn’t have relationships like that. And if he was honest with himself, he hadn’t expected to see her for a while. Especially after the Minister had assumed she was his daughter the last time they had gone out. Adam also had assumed she’d find someone more her age at university. That she was here, in the bowels of the ministry trying to (he assumed) find him warmed his wary heart a little.

Feeling a bit sick from the spinning and frustrated that she actually tried to do something nice and it was turning into a flop, she was actually shocked the treat that was in her hands wasn't all on the floor. That would have been the last of her nice tries and she would have probably never tried to come here again.

The entry chamber? It's what it does? That was only making her more on edge and her nice side was going into hiding behind walls. "So basically this department thinks it's funny to make people sick if they wish to come to see an employee. Do you get joy seeing people spin? Is there a mirror you can entertain yourselves? " Her emotions were getting the best of her and she soon found herself doing her calming breathing, something her healer told her to use when she felt the walls and the feeling to lash out. When he said it was for the security she just eyed him more. Had none of them realized it was 2099 and there had to be a million better ways to do security than a spinning room.

"Yes I tried to the door, it sent me right back to this room and started spinning again." HIs arm around her felt comforting and she didn't find herself questioning as she usually did, but her level of irritation with the entire situation made her stiff instead of allowing her to lean against him. "I had" had she? She couldn't actually remember now and her mind felt confused with everything.

"I had gotten done with class and popped into a small bakery for some coffee and saw the pastries. I don't know, it just made me think of you so I bought one and brought it over. I didn't realize after checking in with security and getting the visitor pass at the front of the ministry that it would be so complicated to deliver it. Guess I should have just used an owl."

Her tone, coupled with the stiffness of her body made Adam pull his hand back. He felt as if he had done or said something wrong, but he wasn’t exactly sure what. ”Nien,” he said shaking his head ‘no’ to her questions about a room or a mirror and to watching people for entertainment. That would be really really weird, not to mention creepy. Of the many things Adam was, a voyeur was not one. He realized his hands were up, fingers splayed in a defensive manner and quickly dropped them to his sides. If she didn’t like the entry chamber, she certainly wasn’t going to like the rooms that led off it, but he had a feeling he had best keep those comments to himself. ”But zere are zings in here zat can really hurt people,” he said softly. He was walking talking proof of that.

Hearing that she hadn’t made it into any of those rooms was reassuring. It meant she hadn’t been hurt, he didn’t have to file a security report, she didn’t have to talk to anyone, and he could get her out of this room as soon as possible. And then maybe, just maybe she would calm down. Although now that he thought about it, it meant another spin, because the only door that was open should be the Thought Chamber and he was not taking her in there! He could try the Assembly Room. Yes, that would probably be the best place to take her…

Thinking about how to get her out of the Entry Chamber, Adam hadn’t been paying attention and when he zoned back in Zita was talking about pastries and coffee and owls? . . . Oh! His brain clicked the pieces into place. She had come to see him…bring him a treat even. He felt suddenly self-conscious. ”Nien one has ever ….” he couldn’t think of the right word in English. Feeling stupid and self-conscious, he pushed his hands into his pants pockets, bunching his shoulders up a little. ”It vas kood - ah - friendly of vou to …” He stopped talking. Would she have rather owled? Or was she just being querulous? He couldn’t tell and not for the first time, he wished he could see facial expressions.

Maybe he should just lead her out of the Entry Chamber and back up to the Atrium. She did seem rather upset, but maybe it wasn’t about the Entry Chamber at all? Maybe whatever this was between them was entering territory that Zita was uncomfortable with? He had a feeling this was the first time she’d ever done something like this. Maybe she had just gotten very scared and didn’t know how to process it? If that was the case, pushing her away was probably not a good idea. He’d likely never see her again, and he didn’t want that. ”Sita?” he said gently, as he pulled his hands back out of his pockets. ”Danke for coming. If vou vant, I can valk vou back up to zee atrium.” He paused and after a moment’s hesitation, he reached out for her hand. ”But I hope vou don’t vant to go. Let me get vou ein drink to say vielan dank.”

Yeah, yeah, yeah she understood people could get hurt, hell look at him. If he wasn't proof that this level or maybe the entire ministry should be shut down she wasn't sure what was. Z never really care much about politics didn't really understand why anyone would really want to work in the ministry and get roped up in everything that went on. Plus, after meeting the minister and having him so rudely say that she was Adam's daughter she wasn't sure if she fully felt he was able to lead everyone.

She looked around the room not sure where the exit even was at this point but wanting to find it. She couldn't understand why everything that involved guys she liked was so damn complicated all the time. Why was it that others had it so easy, had fairy tales and she had nightmares. All she needed was a killer to jump out and it would be the perfect new horror flick for the muggles. Trying to avoid her past and start new she thought would work, but James had proven that wrong and then there was Adam. He was sweet,, but still a little awkward. What were they even? They had been out a few times, but was this considered anything or just friends hanging out? She was so confused and this ending to her day was not helping.


Friendly? Good?

What was she just some random coming to bring him lunch? Maybe she was looking at this all wrong, maybe she had just made an idiot of herself, and right now all she wanted to do was run away. She felt her body stiffen as it always did and the emotional walls going up that she hadn't pulled out in a while, but there they were just as if nothing in the past year and a half had even happened. "It's nothing really, I was in the neighborhood so.." She hadn't been, it wasn't easy really getting here, but she stuck out her hand with the bag so he could take it.

"Now if you don't mind I'd like to go home." She felt so stupid and she needed to leave before anyone noticed them in here. She didn't want to get him in trouble and she didn't want to feel like she did any longer. Her eyes lowered when his hand went to her's instead of the bag. She bit her lip for a moment thinking about it. "Are you sure you can step away, this place seems like you are needed." Though it was like this every day from what she was gathering.

Taking a deep breath she looked at him, "Coffee would be nice if there is somewhere we could get a cup." She figured the ministry didn't have something stronger so that would have to wait until she left.

Taking a deep breath she looked at him, "Coffee would be nice if there is somewhere we could get a cup." She figured the ministry didn't have something stronger so that would have to wait until she left.

His fingers found hers, but then felt the bag. Adam wasn’t sure if she wanted him to hold her hand or take the bag. His fingers rested there for a moment before they closed around the bag. He took it from her hand, transferred it to his other hand, and then reached back over for Zita’s hand, weaving their fingers together. He felt the need to physically reassure her, and while, ideally, he would have pulled her into a hug, holding her hand would have to do. At least until they had a conversation about where their relationship was going. Right?

”I alvays have time for vou.” Adam knew it was corny and he felt a little stupid saying it, but for as long as she wanted him around, Adam would always find the time for her. He gave her hand a squeeze. ”Come, zee beste coffee ist upstairs. Vhich ist by das exits so if vou vant to leave, vou can make ein guick get-avay.” he joked, hoping his tone was light and teasing sounding. There was a lot of truth to his comment though, because she would easily be able to lose him in the atrium’s crowds. Especially with his crappy eyesight.

But there was still the problem of how to get her out of here and there really was no way to go that didn’t involve the room spinning. He sighed internally. Why did life always have to be so damn difficult for him? Securely holding onto her hand, he shifted a little closer to her. ”Um,” he paused not wanting her to get upset again, but he needed to warn her. He flushed a slight shade of pink as he said, ”Das room might spin again.” He turned so he was facing her, blue eyes looking at her, but not completely focusing. He had left his sunglasses on his desk. ”Und, it might help if vou close your eyes und lean into me. I promise not to grope.” He smiled lopsidedly, the way he did when he was trying to be funny. He’d found that closing his eyes helped with the spinning motion, because it seemed like the doors spun, not the floor. "Ready?" he asked her.

”Der ausgang bitte,” (The exit please) he asked the room. He had found out the hard way that the room understood him better if he spoke in his native language.

They were going to spin again? Ugh, she couldn't even deal with it. Leaning into him she closed her eyes and pressed her face against his chest. She didn't want to spin anymore, she was already afraid of being sick from the two times she had spun. Why couldn't they just walk out a door and be done with this place? "Yes, yes, I'm ready." She wasn't ready, but she would have to be ready.

She did like the sound of a quick exit even though she wasn't sure she'd take it. She didn't want to be rude and she had come to see him. Maybe she'd check out the coffee and make sure they were selling Vella teas. They should be if they weren't and she'd have to say something to her father.

Hearing his German she opened her eye just enough to see what was going on, but soon found herself closing it again. She kept them super tight as the room spun once more. Her grip grew stronger around his too.

She just wanted it to stop.

Jonathan is definitely pumped up with this plan and he is more hyped because Fletcher is there for all of these. Yes, Jonathan is a bit of the shy type but with that solely depends on the person he is with. Pretty sure Fletcher is going to wheel his shyness out with a blink of an eye. Thank Merlin for that.

And oooooohhhhh.... They will be starting in the Department of Mysteries. Jonathan is curious to see what their office looks like. He stood up right after Fletcher stood as well. He walked towards the sink area and left his coffee mug next to it, he will be cleaning that later. "let's go" he said making sure to tidy his tie up.

"And so, we come to Level Nine, and this is the Department of Mysteries, as you know, our intended destination," Fletcher continued, having lazily narrated his and Jonathan's lift ride to Level 9. Of course Fletcher was more than capable of making things fun; he'd absolutely peppered his narration with his very best dad jokes.

"What in tarnation is this place?" he wondered aloud, rather taken aback at the roundness of the chamber, bleakness of the atmosphere, and ....wetness of the floor? Were they standing in water? Where were all the cubicles, and the secretary, and all the normal things the other floors had?

The sound of a door closing to their right nearly made the man jump, but before he could say anything else, the room started to spin...

And so it begins.

Their entire elevator ride was quite refreshing, Fletcher had an entire spiel of where they are going. Jonathan, as usual was quiet but casually nodded at him. It was nice. It felt like he was on a tour back in the days when he went here with his dad, who also used to work for the Minister. Truth be told, this is the one place he was excited to see. He has never really been to this floor - even back when he worked in Level 4.

As soon as they stepped inside the entrance, Jonathan's eyes wandered around. There were a lot of things going on and are there employees around this place? "What is this place?" he whispered under his breath. It was audible enough for Fletcher to hear.

Uhhh.... Is this suppose to be the ambiance or something? Jonathan looked at Fletcher, obviously confused as he is as well. Just when he was about to open his mouth to speak, suddenly the room started to move.... Spinning. It spun around for a couple of seconds until it came to a stop.

Wait, what just happened here?

He stared at Fletcher "Should we go through that door?" he finally spoke whilst fixing his hair and coat.

Default intern, reporting for duty!
doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo

Nina Castillo had been very excited for this internship. Despite this initial, enthusiastic anticipation, however, she had grown increasingly weary. It was not what she had hoped it to be. Of course she understood the strict confidentiality requirements, but she was a highly dignified, incredibly capable, exceedingly intelligent, and MATURE, young adult! She could handle confidentiality and difficult tasks! She was also not a fan of this Airey Flamsteed. Not yet, anyway. He had proven himself to be very... cringe thus far and Nina had little hope that he would seek any sort of redemption.

As it stood, however, she did not let any of her disappointment manifest itself in a way that would be visible. There was still a small part of her hoping that this was only the beginning. She also believed that she could manage to convince the Department Head of entrusting her with higher-level tasks as time went on. And despite the lack of rigor, Nina knew that at the end of the day, this internship would look incredible on her CV and uni applications. She never intended on working at the Ministry, anyway. This was simply a means to her ends.

As such, she took the job very seriously (as she did with most things). Having just finished up at lunch, she quickly stopped by the bathroom to brush her teeth and fix up her hair (which she wore in cute lil space buns today--a subtle nod to Mr. Flamsteed's history). She made sure to leave lunch a little early (as per usual) so that she could be the first to arrive, punctuality is very important.

As she walked in, she adjusted her pencil-skirt and waited for the others. Nina Castillo was very curious to learn about their newest task, but she was also quite nervous. Please let it be something useful. P l e a s e.

It truly was the most unfortunate of timing, but let it be known that Airey Flamsteed was a man of selective opportunity and this was certainly one of those times. It had all began suddenly and without any real indication that the charms were faulty, but the spinning nature of the room was...beyond counterproductive at this point.

As would become evident as the department head stepped through one of the doors drenched from head to toe. He was calm. He was absolutely and unequivocally...calm.

No. No he was not. Not at all. And that much was evident in the manner in which his fists were clenched, white knuckled, to his sides and he slid his soggy dress shoes across the stone floor of the Entry Chamber towards Miss Castillo...and apparently Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Kim from the Minister's Office. If there was another problem with the interdepartmental flying memos...he really did not want to hear it. He had instructed his Unspeakables to stop using those faulty things several months ago after a fire incident in the Chamber of Codes.

"Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Kim...unless you have official business on this level I suggest you make yourselves scarce or...if you want to make yourselves useful, you can stay and assist the interns with their task of the day." His eyes then drifted to the young Slytherin he was referencing to, he suspected the other two would be along shortly, and sighed a bit at her choice of attire.

A pencil skirt. Well...at least she wasn't in red?

"Would you consider your choice mobile, Miss Castillo?" he inquired with a vague wave of the hand at her skirt, water seeming to drink in bucket loads from his sleeves.

Yes, the Entry Chamber seemed to have gained a peculiar sense of humor again.

Mackenzie Motts liked secrets and the power they held, so the fact that the Department of Mysteries felt very much like a giant secret had her feeling all kinds of eager to start her internship. She'd spent ample time with Aunt Parker picking the perfect outfit and equally as much time trying to keep Nerina and little Elio entertained while P helped accessorize it. She'd even allowed her dad to pack her a lunch, something he insisted on doing while trying not to get emotional about his "baby" growing up. It was all very dramatic, but he'd always been that way, and she found it endearing enough. She'd even taken care to eat every item he'd picked out for her, making a mental note to comment on how good everything was. Sometimes dads needed to hear such things, you see.

Arriving at the entry chamber after lunch, dressed in high waisted navy trousers and a sensible button-up shirt, the Ravenclaw joined Nina and eyed Mr. Airey Flamsteed, who looked as though he'd taken a shower with all his clothes on. He was going to be an...interesting man to work for, she'd decided. She just wasn't sure if that was a good thing or bad thing yet.

"You'd be surprised how easy it is to move around in a skirt, Mr. Flamsteed," Kenzie commented helpfully, offering the younger girl the briefest of smiles before turning her attention back to him.

Uhhhhhh??

Lucas, who’d just made his way back from lunch, stopped suddenly at the sight in front of him. Sure, he knew Mr Flamsteed fairly well. The man used to teach him about science when he was younger, so he was used to his, uh, personality. But to see him completely drenched and looking mad about it as well was something else.

The soon-to-be fifth year slowly walked forwards while saying nothing in the process. Not even when Mr Flamsteed started asking about the skirt, but it did cause him to furrow his eyebrows. Was this what jobs normally asked? Why was he asking? It was a bit weird, wasn’t it? He glanced between the two girls and decided not to add his input. It wasn’t needed. Did girls have to deal with this all the time?

He didn’t know. He didn’t know the answer to any of this and didn’t want to interrupt the conversation that was going on about....... skirts. Instead, he stood there with his hands behind his back so that he could fiddle with them without looking like it. There was a small, slightly awkward smile on his face, especially because of the two workers in the room who were going to be helping them? Uhh?

…………… Nina had many thoughts upon seeing a soaking wet Mr. Flamsteed. And none of them were kind. Which is why she chose to keep them to herself as she watched him walk towards her. It was harder to keep the judgement from her face, but she certainly was trying to. It was very important that Mr. Flamsteed liked her; she had made it her mission.

She couldn't help wonder, however, why he was so wet. Hopefully this wouldn’t be their task. Her hair was SO cute and she wasn’t wearing waterproof mascara! These (and many more) were the thoughts that kept her occupied as she watch Mr. Flamsteed tell off his two employees. But when his attention turned back to her, Nina felt heat rise to her cheeks. Um. Suddenly she felt incredibly embarrassed and all words escaped her.

Fortunately, Mackenzie stepped in at just that very moment. Nina nodded, turning to give the older girl a small, appreciative smile before returning her gaze back to the wet Department Head. ”Especially with practice,” which Nina obviously had a lot of. Would….. It be easy to move around in her skirt? Maybe not as easy as they were trying to pass it off to be. But Nina wasn’t going to let it hold her back from completing their task with flying colors. She NEEDED to be impressive, remember?

As for Lucas, Nina payed him no mind. There wasn’t reason to at the moment and her attention was on Mr. Flamsteed.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

With lunch had and a bit of free time on his hands before he went back to CLEANING, Kodee thought it would be the best time to find Kenzie. Maybe they could go sneak off and explore the ministry like they'd talked about back at Hogwarts. He'd already found a few corridors that didn't seem to lead places before turning him around in the next direction and lifts that took him in all ways and sides and places but he didn't go looking TOO far just because it was meant to be discovery for the both of them.

Most. Thoughtful. Boyfriend. EVER.

Now if only he could find her. For everyone who said Kodee Chosen never thought through anything in his life, he was gonna prove them wrong. The Gryffindor KNEW that Mysteries could be...mysterious and hard to navigate and he didn't plan to get lost while looking for her, so he did the most obvious thing.

"KENZIIIEEEE! Kenzie Motts! Kenz??" As was the case whenever he couldn't find her at school, Kodee took to yelling. The logic was simple. Either she would hear him and come find him, or everyone else would and to shut him up, they'd take him to her. It was a win-win. "Kenzie?!"

But then he rounded the corner into the entry chamber and "Oh, there you are." A grin spread wide across his face as he pardoned and excused himself through the small crowd to give her a peck on the cheek. "Come on, found this cool room back on Level 4, you gotta see it." He nodded to his school mates, Nina and Lucas, how's it going? Cool cool, later, could they go now?

And why was that guy soaked? "There's charms to fix that." He pointed out helpfully.

While he waited for the two from the Minister's Office to decide their fate, Airey's forget-me-not blues settled on the three. He had to admit that he had his concerns about Lucas' ability to handle this high stress situation they had on their hands - though it was comparatively low risk considering what Mysteries faced on a day to day basis. He would probably need to write a letter to the boy's father later apologizing.

Maybe. They also knew what they had signed the boy up for.

He found himself not particularly impressed with the solidarity of girl power in the moment, but it was both Miss Castillo and Miss Motts' prerogative to dress as they pleased in business casual...so he was more than willing to drop the topic. After he got the last word, that is. "Well...suppose we shall be putting this practice to the test today."

Sweet solstice and Pluto help him.

Just as he was about to instruct the trio on the mission at hand, the astronomer found his intentions interrupted by the appearance of another intern. One not assigned to this level and one who sldfjdsklfjdsfklsdjfjdsljdskjs... He had to remind himself that he could not give detentions here at the Ministry as he had done at Hogwarts for inappropriate displays of public affection.

And had the audacity to try and instruct HIM on how to care for his suit. Which he was going to blatantly ignore.

"Young man, you are interrupting important Ministry business by your presence," he began, his jaw setting on his back teeth as he tightened his soggy silky tie. "I suggest you return to your assigned level immediately or I will report you to your supervisor. And, Miss Motts, it would serve you well to remind your....gentleman caller...of appropriate boundaries and professionalism, else it further reflect poorly on yourself and hinder your progression."

There was a time and place for...this...and it was never (EVER) in his presence.

Despite none summoning it to do so, the chamber began to spin rapidly and would knock any with an aversion to balance on their bums or send them tumbling up against the wall like a ride at a muggle fair.

Round and round and round it went, stilling suddenly and with the door to the left of the one the department head had exited from creaking ajar.

Come to play?

No.

No, no, no, no. This wasn't happening. This was not happening in the Ministry of Magic where she'd been given her first ever internship as an almost graduate from Hogwarts. Kodee absolutely wasn't embarrassing her like this in front of her boss and two younger interns who were clearly meant to be looking up to her because of her status as an older, wiser, more stylish role model. No, see, because Kodee knew how important this was for her and how she hoped it'd help her discover what she wanted to do with her life, so he absolutely wasn't behaving like a child and yelling her name in a work place and showing up without an invitation.

...and yet here. he. was.

If looks could kill, Kodee Chosen would be in a lot of trouble in that moment, and it took every fiber of Mackenzie Motts' being not to tell him off. No, she had to stay composed because she wasn't giving Airey Flamsteed another reason to think of her as just another irresponsible teenager unworthy of learning the mysteries within the department of mysteries.

"It won't happen again," She managed, her expression stony as she stared at her boyfriend. He really needed to be go-OH!

One moment her feet had been firmly fixed on the ground, the next she found herself stumbling backwards towards the open door, moving much faster than was manageable. Merlin, this. was. a. day. Arms spread wide, she tried to grab on to the door frame so she could regain her balance.

Oh, lort.

The interns were here. Fletcher tried not to let a sneer develop on his handsome, smug mug as the teenagers began arriving in a throng. He merely adjusted his cuffs as he and Jonathan were interrupted by all these people... these "young professionals" or whatever... and their drama.... and shouting....Merlin knew these ones were not nearly as well-behaved as his hand-selected aka January selected darlings on Level One..... and there was Flamsteed, ah yes. Finally. Someone to answer the door.

"We are, of course, on official business," the junior undersecretary replied in a confident, if not haughty, tone. As IF he would have ANY other purpose for approaching this weird, mysterious, possibly dangerous and exciting, floor. "Mr. Kim here just wanted to---"

WHOA WHAT! Whoaaaaaaaa. The damn doors were doing that THING again.

"JUST WANTED TO---" Fletcher shouted as he was jostled uncomfortably up against Flamsteed and then back down again as the room stopped spinning. Unfortunately, Fletcher hadn't really noticed that the Mysteries head was soaking wet.... until now, when they had essentially chest-bumped each other, and now his own suit jacket and tie had an unsightly wet spot on it.

THAT'S IT. Fletcher was now officially sneering at this mess, making a most Malfoy-like ugly face. Just wait until the Minister heard about this. "Oi, Flamsteed, don't you know a drying spell?" He whipped out his own wand for himself and began dutifully drying off his own Italian tie. Didn't want it to wrinkle, see. "As it happens, we are here on official business to offer you some assistance with your interns. Clearly their first lesson should be in proper professional behavior." He sniffed superciliously in the direction of the teen couple. Awful. Had he ever been like this? Pffffft. The Glitterpuff thought NOT.

Yes, he was aware about the internship program for this summer vacation because he remembered his daughter receiving a letter about it a few weeks ago. Of course he is getting used to seeing young ones around the area but it doesn't really bother him at all. They have a few in their office as well and Jonathan is not even sure what kind of work the Minister or Miss Bones or even Fletcher is giving them but it does look like they have errands here and there.

Anywaaaay, cue in Airey Flamsteed who can use a breather or two. Was he... drenched? Or perhaps perspiring? Jonathan couldn't really tell but it was best not to bother him with this, he looked like he is handling a lot already plus these interns. Ohhh speaking of which "We were just about to---" he said backing up Fletcher. Well? He was going to continue that sentence with 'help you out with the interns' and maybe take a peek inside the Department of Mysteries perhaps?

However the room began to spin around once again.

Whoah. Merlin's beard not this again. Ugh.

Jonathan was trying to balance himself and making sure he doesn't trip at all. He watched the interns inside the room carefully, making sure that they are safe or at least not panicking. Paternal instincts and all. Also he did notice that there seems to be a lot of kids in this division. They even have a couple in the mix. "Is everyone okay?" he raised his voice at the young ones just to make sure everybody heard him.

See? They come in peace, Flamsteed. Now can they help out with the interns and go inside Level 9? Jonathan cleared his throat and looked at Fletcher and Flamsteed. "Is there anything we can help with?" following up with what Fletcher had told the head of Mysteries of course.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

This guy...talked a lot. Did he know that? Granted, Kodee Chosen ALSO talked a lot but that was why he was qualified to make such a deduction. Mate needed to lighten up, find himself a girlfriend to kiss on the cheek and be happy about. Sheesh.

While they were on the topic of girlfriends...was it just him or did Mackenzie seem less than thrilled to see him? Nah. Probably just imagining things. She was likely as excited to see him as he was to see her and at the moment he was a cruppy who's pal had come home. Quite the eager one, not at all dampened by the "never happening again" or the "go back to your level" talk that was floating around.

"I was just--"

WHOOOAAAAA!

Kodee staggered around, trying to maintain his balance while the room went crazy. As much as he could, he tried to steady Kenzie like the CHIVALROUS boyfriend he happened to be. Was this a part of the job?? Merlin this was cooler than scrubbing chimneys!

"I'm with that guy." He said, pointing to the Junior Undersecretary. "Here to help with the interns. Official ministry business. I reckon we can start them with the cool stuff. Get their feet wet early on and leave them with stuff to talk about." And who was to say he wasn't? He shot Kenzie a confident look (still missing how mortified she was) before nodding to the Undersecretary's friend. "I'm alright. Let's get this work started." With this conveniently creaked open door. Surely this was the way to wherever they were going and the Gryffindor was never one to shy away from acting first, thinking second so he gave the door a hard yank.

Oh no.

Oh no oh no oh no.

This was........ embarrassing. This was so embarrassing. His green eyes flicked between Mackenzie, Kodee, and Mr Flamsteed while an uncomfortable feeling settled in the pits of his stomach. Get him out of here. Pleaaaaaaaase get him out of here. He would rather be anywhere else than stuck in this situation with this second-hand embarrassment settling in inside of him.

And didn’t he want to intern here in the first place? Merlin.

Lucas did his best to look as inconspicuous as possible. Not attracting any kind of attention and maybe even blending into the wall behind him. People could do that, couldn’t they? Sure. He was trying. He was also making a mental note to never, ever, E V E R act in this way if he got himself into a relationship of his own. But, then again, that seemed impossible on its own but it wasn’t really down to him. He was just......... here. Looking embarr-

.........

................

Oh no.

No no no nO NO.

The room was MOVING?!

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Lucas did his best to hold onto........ something. Anything. Whatever would help him maintain some balance while this room just spun round and round and round. It was a weird experience, if he was being completely honest, and something that made him glad that he was only supposed to be working here for the one summer only. No offence, Mr Flamsteed, but the Space Room wasn’t worth this queasy feeling he was getting.

And then it stopped. And the Gryffindor stood there, his hands on his knees and his attention on anything but the conversation they were having. In fact, he hardly even noted the door that was open until Kodee started to move towards it and gave it a hard YANK. Merlin.

Get him out of here, please get him out of here.

……….. Oh no.

Nina was torn between two extreme emotions. One was of utmost secondhand embarrassment on behalf of Mackenzie Motts. The other, was judgement. Nina Castillo was judging Kodee Chosen like no other. The thought of having a boy burst into a room, calling your name and professing his love in front of a crowd sounded romantic in theory, she supposed. But in reality it only looked incredibly foolish. That and they were at the Ministry of Magic for a professional internship. Calyx was a gryffindor too, but he would never do such a thing. Not only did he know her well enough to recognize that she would hate this kind of attention, but he was also very mature and knew there was a time and place. Far more mature than Kodee Chosen, she thought.

The only good part of this fiasco was that her skirt situation was surely the last thing Mr. Flamsteed was thinking about now. That and—EEEEK!

Nina let out a shrill squeak (thank Merlin it wasn’t a fully-fledged scream because she was kind of known for those) when the room suddenly started spinning. Her first instinct was to grab something closest to her for stability, and that something happened to be Lucas Dakest.

Unfortunately, the sudden stop made her (still holding to Lucas, by the way) NEARLY fall to the ground. Thank goodness for Lucas. He didn’t say too much, but as it turns out, he could be helpful after all. Once they came to a stop, she proceeded to straighten her back and fix her skirt, nodding in response to the question posed by one of the employees (Jonathan). TECHNICALLY she was ‘okay’, but at what cost!?! That and she decided to fully ignore whatever Kodee was doing because the second hand embarrassment was starting to stress her out and Nina could not afford to worry about what someone ELSE was doing at the moment.
