| | Isabel Marshall's Office Located past the level four shared work area is the office of Isabel Marshall, Head of Ecological Regulation and Protection. One may find it difficult to believe that they are underground, as sunlight fills the room from a large magical window behind the desk. The walls are not decorated excessively, with only a Mappa Mundi of magical habitats around the world pinned up opposite the window. Next to this map is a tall metal framed shelf that holds books and scholarly journals - mostly about environmental protection and advanced charms - and a few of her favourite potted plants. On the coffee table in the center of the room is a porcelain coffee set and various items of confectionery. The table is surrounded by a chic white couch and armchairs where visitors can make themselves comfortable.
But if one was looking to have a more formal conversation with the department head, they would instead sit on one of the two cushioned chairs near her steel desk. On the desk is a two-way mirror and photographs of her family, as well as a miniature figurine of her elderly crup that is usually taking a nap. Occasionally, you may also see a Remembrall if she forgot to did not store it away. Those wishing to speak to Isabel should knock on the door and wait to be invited in. |

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Even with the aid of a cane, Charles still had plenty of pep to his step as he approached Isabel's office. Having just taken a quick swing through the greenhouses to see how everything was growing (read: he had wanted to see his granddaughter on the job and given a little tour of what all she and the other caretakers were working on), the Minister figured he was due for another little peek in on his newest department head. She had done great work in her time on the team, after all. She had also mentioned in passing, though a little on edge in said passing, about wanting to discuss some finding or another with him in private.
Therefore, here he was, knocking on her door with the hand not supported by a cane.

Therefore, here he was, knocking on her door with the hand not supported by a cane. Isabel sincerely hoped to fill the vacant head botanist position in the upcoming placement period. In the absence of a leader, she had been working closely with the botany division over the past year, and was very happy with the progress each employee made on their respective projects. But recently, she had been reflecting on this - her unequal focus on the divisions in her department - and wondered if things would have turned out differently had she split her attention more equally and communicated some more with the other divisions.
The department head stood in the center of her office with her back to the window as she studied the Mappa Mundi pinned up on the opposite wall. Her green eyes, which had previously been fixed on one particular spot on the map of magical habitats, slid over to the Remembrall on her desk when she heard a knock on the door. It was clear, which meant (certainly? probably? possibly?) that she was not forgetting an appointment. A spontaneous visit, then! Her favourite kind. "Come in," she said, turning sideways to face the doorway.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Humming to himself as he gingerly pushed the the door opened and stepped into Isabel's office and finds her in front of charming little map. He never quite understood why it was she used such an old style, but everyone had their own method of doing things and Charles was not one to force conformity upon anyone. Besides, her Mappa Mundi was likely a better representation and reflection of the magical side of things and could always be cross referenced with the modern muggle ones. Perhaps she could teach him sometime, for his own curiosity's sake.
"Good day, Isabel," he smiled, beamed practically, in his grandfatherly way as he hobbled over to where she stood and leaned on to his cane. "I've always enjoyed the style of these...the look." He was referring to her Mappa Mundi, of course.

Tabatha Krauss Janus Galloglass | books and cleverness | i like you a latte "Good day to you too, Minister!" she returned the greeting when the door opened to reveal none other than Charles Hollingberry. With a smile, Isabel uncrossed her arms to assume a more welcoming attitude. She liked to project warmth, even when work wasn't exactly going in the direction she hoped. A conversation with the fatherly bossman could be just what she needed to renew her motivation. She glanced back at the map and replied appreciatively, "So have I. It's very useful too - did you know Newt Scamander carried a copy just like this on his expeditions?"
Regardless of whether they were to continue talking about her cool map, Isabel really wanted her guest to first sit down and relieve his (presumably) achy leg. She gestured politely for the Minister to sit on the couch, after which she followed suit. "Please, take a seat. Would you like something to drink? And ... am I correct in believing that you are here to discuss the finding that I mentioned?" she said slowly.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf "I did not," he smiled while tucking one arm behind his back and shifting his weight a bit to stand a little more comfortably. He suspected that Rebecca did, however. She knew much more about creatures and its associates than he. "But clearly a case of great minds." The Minister leaned a bit more on his cane to take a closer look at some of the details. It was quite lovely.
"Oh, thank you," Charles nodded while pivoting around and making his way over to the couch and slowly sank down onto to the cushion. "I would love a spot of tea if you've got some." If not, that was perfectly fine. "And yes. Genevieve implied that it was rather urgent."

Tabatha Krauss Janus Galloglass | books and cleverness | i like you a latte "A spot of tea, coming right up. Hope you don't mind ... pu'er," she replied as she pulled out a teabag at random from the box and read the label. On a better work day she might have shown Minister Hollingberry her fancy tea box and asked him to choose a flavour - or maybe not, she was so used to picking tea randomly for herself that she had begun doing the same for guests unless otherwise specified. Once the tea was prepared, she set the two cups onto saucers on the coffee table and settled down to discuss the one item on her agenda. "We received news of certain disturbances in the Irish and Celtic Seas. We don't have much information yet, but our Oceanoizardry Division is closely monitoring the situation. I thought I should let you know since what's happening is not a common occurrence." It went without saying that this, as with any disruption in the Wizarding World, could develop into something very serious very quickly, hence the urgency with which she wanted to speak with the Minister for Magic. She summoned a thin file folder of relevant documents from her desk and passed it to the man seated opposite her.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Well, Charles supposed he couldn't mind something if he did not know what it was...so the Minister simply smiled at Isabel as he got himself comfortable in his seat. Whatever it was she was preparing did smell divine though. Thanking her softly as the tea was set down, Charles folded his leg over his other knee as he reached for it and balanced the saucer in his hand. The intention to take a sip was entirely thwarted when his department head revealed the nature of her requested meeting.
Which was certainly not what he had been expecting at all, and he had come here with next to no expectations.
"Disturbances?" he repeated, brow furrowed and leaning and returning the cup and saucer to the coffee table. "How concerned should we be?" His eyes slowly glanced back towards the map they had been standing in front of just minutes ago.
