| | Conference Room [04/10/2010 - 07/07/2012] Trapped by glass walls, the conference room has more than enough light--even if it's of the neon possibly flashing kind. New tables are fitted into the expanded conference room to fit the equally expanded staff of the Daily Prophet. The chairs have received a rather moderate upgrade. Although cushioned, it isn't made for prolonged meetings so it is best to get out what you need to say and move on to working otherwise you'd be sporting a numb posterior very soon.
In the corner of the conference room, a water cooler and paper cones have been added for the eternally parched. It's also useful for those who did a bit of too much jabbering and find their throats temporarily dry. You are HERE. |

Stepping into the room, Nala kept to the doorway as she waited for the man that had directed her into here. Keeping her hands clasped infront of her, she looked around the room. It was nice, very well lit. Nala looked away from the harsh glare of the lights.
Licking her lips nervously, her head jerked back to the corridoor every time somebody walked past. Mhm..

Licking her lips nervously, her head jerked back to the corridoor every time somebody walked past. Mhm.. Nick didn't utter a single word on their way to the Conference Room, yet he'd nodded when the woman agreed to tag along. She had something to say and...she'd come to the right place.
The man pulled out a chair for her and waited until she was seated before taking a seat of his own. The best chair in the room was given to her, though. "So, Miss Dalton," he started to say, not truly caring if she was a Miss or Mrs., "I apologize for the mess, but we're undergoing renovations at the moment," not that she cared, but that would explain why he wasn't meeting her at his office, "You were saying?" back at the Front Desk, she had something to say to them if he remembered correctly, otherwise she wouldn't have entered. She'd better be quick. Snap. His fingers made that sound and a piece of paper and a quill made a sudden appearance. |

Nala took a seat. She was beginning not too like this mans attitude. She flinched slightly as she was addressed as a 'Miss'.. A small crease appeared between her eyes as she looked at the man scathingly. 'It's fine, I understand..' She replied cooly. She could tell by his expression that he knew she wouldn't really care. Nala just wanted to get this done, after all. 'I'm here from the Minister's Office, to give some recent updates about our Minister of Magic.' Again she flinched, as he snapped his fingers for the paper and quill to appear. Her frown was more pronounced now. And breaaath.. 'Myself and my fellow workers up at this department, don't feel that people..' She paused, searching for what to say next. She was beginning to feel that maybe she shouldn't have volunteered for this one.. 'Know what he does for our community. We all know how challenging and stressful it must be to keep the secret. To make sure Muggles don't somehow find their way into our secret.' Thea leant back, grabbing her bottle of water from her bag. Unscrewing the lid, she took a sip. Turning her gaze back to the man, she smiled slowly. Next point..

Turning her gaze back to the man, she smiled slowly. Next point.. Mmhmm. Okay. He listened. And he took notice of the dislike towards the snapping. Whatever. She'll have to deal with that.
Aha. Herself and her fellow workers...Nick nodded...Ah! Muggles again? Man, that was still going on? The talk about hiding or not? The Ministry should focus on everything else that's going around the Wizarding Community for sure.
Okay. "Of course, and I have to agree with what you say because I don't know what he actually does." Nor did Nicholas knew why he still called himself 'Lord', but that wasn't the case.
Hopefully, Dalton could enlighten him about what it was that Lord Borr did, besides 'representing' England. |

Hopefully, Dalton could enlighten him about what it was that Lord Borr did, besides 'representing' England. Raising an eyebrow, she opened the clasp of her bag. Giving it a slight kick with her heel, her own piece of parchment and quill appeared. Sensing the feeling he wasn't impressed, Nala sighed. Why did she volunteer for this? this was the stupidest task the Minister could of set. 'I'm sensing the feeling you personally, aren't impressed with our Minster?..' The quill began scribbling. 'I've been told to take notes.' She smiled sweetly. Two could play at this being impolite fandango...
Chewing her lip, she placed her hands on the table. Oh Merlin. This was going downhill. Oh holey moley.. Nala was getting stressed, but refused to show it on her face. Her sharo features stayed composed, as she smiled at this Nicholas. 'We could all have a guess at what our Minister does, but he never really lets us know his exact movements..' She cocked her head to the side. This was getting worse and worse. 'All we know, as his employees, is that whatever he is doing.. it's working. Crime rate. This has n't kicked off in a long time. Dementors straying from their posts. not happening.' Was this over yet?.. It was becoming humiliating. Exhaling through her nose, she closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead. Where was that stressball?!

Excuse me? How was she supposed to take notes on that? Were they making a list as to know who was with the Minister or against him? If that's the case, leave Nicholas out of BOTH, he was supposed to be neutral, right? Yeah, right! "Feelings aren't important in politics, are they?" Certainly, Lord Borr didn't care if the new Editor of the Daily Prophet was with the Ministry or not, as far as Nick was concerned...they were with the Wizarding Community all the way, yes? Not all the time.
Smirk. "I believe you couldn't have said it better...," he began to say, "...we cannot know his exact moves, therefore I find myself a little uninformed about his job." What a nicest to put it, really.
Then the man's quill wrote something on the paper. Something Nala wasn't allowed to see, and the paper didn't allow her to, anyway.
He still nodded, because he knew that what she said was true, "I agree. He's done wonders in such a small amount of time." Whether that was sarcastic or not, no one will ever know, but his face was serious as ever.
Go on, ma'am. |

Go on, ma'am. Nala smiled as she saw him glance at her own quill and parchment. This was getting difficult. She wasn't cut out for this. Woops. ' I see we're not really getting anywhere..' She sighed. 'Brilliant..' She muttered. Nala was bound to get this type of interview on her first task. Her eyes searched for any hint of emotion in the man's face as she heard his last comment. 'Well, seen as I'm not very high up in the Department I certainly don't know his exact movements. Does anyone?' She rested an elbow on the table.

That only made him suspicious enough to keep a neutral expression on his face. "There's probably someone that knows, but neither of us is that person." And he was completely lost as to where this conversation will be headed to...unless he asked what was truly on his mind, "Pardon me if I'm the slight bit rude but, why exactly did you come here?" eyes on her, not on the quill. Whatever she was writing...well, it couldn't possibly threaten him in any possible way, might as well let the quill go.
But he was curious as to why she was sent here in the first place. The real reason, that is. |

But he was curious as to why she was sent here in the first place. The real reason, that is. Nala smiled. She grabbed her piece of parchment and ripped it up. Rubbing a hand across her forehead, she sighed. Like this mattered anymore. Her department aswell as others had been on strike to get the Minister removed from his post... or whatever it was. This was just plain awkward. Nala reached up and tucked a stray curl behind her ear.
Shaking her head, she looked down at the table. 'No, it's not rude at all..' Nala smiled again, slightly. 'I'm new to the department.. so I volunteered myself for this.. job.' She let out a small laugh. 'Brilliant idea obviously.' Making a fool out of herself was obviously a skill that she had.

She was ripping the piece of parchment she'd been writing on. For whatever reason. An odd one, for sure.
At least he wasn't considered rude. And what she'd written wouldn't be revealed to him. Very unlikely now, considering the paper didn't exist as a whole anymore. Ministry employees were slightly weird, weren't they.
Nick had a small smile on his face. Nala had failed to answer his question. "And this job was...what exactly?" If recollecting random bits of information was what this job was all about, then she was probably awesome at it. |

Dropping the little bits into her bag, she sat back up again. Well, she was hardly going to scatter them onto the floor. That was just rude.
Nala shook her head, and smirked. 'It was too..' she rubbed a hand across her forehead. How embarrassing.. ' 'Praise' Lord Borr. I don't really know what he does either.. I'd been in the office for what? ..five days?' Nala leant back in her seat.
She looked up at the reporter. Nala could just imagine what he'd tell all his other friends that worked heere.. Cringe. 'Look, this was a total disaster so I don't want to waste any more of your time.' She smiled, properly and laughed out loud. 'Brilliant..' She muttered to herself.

'Look, this was a total disaster so I don't want to waste any more of your time.' She smiled, properly and laughed out loud. 'Brilliant..' She muttered to herself. Beyond amused, he was, once she spoke up about the real reason behind her visit. 'Praise Lord Borr'. Right. The man didn't need any praise or anything as far as he was concerned. Perhaps all Lord Borr needed was to upgrade the Daily Prophet Headquarters and he'll get good publicity...but that was all he was going to get from this paper.
Now...he laughed. Lightly. And shook his head. "That sounds like a tough task for someone who's been in the office for five days." That was true, they should've sent someone who's been there the longest for this kind of job.
A disaster? Not exactly. But it was a bit of a waste of time, and...shame, he thought he'll be getting some incredibly important news. "You're free to leave any time now. I wouldn't call it a disaster, though." But she still could leave whenever she felt good to go, like...now would be best. |

Nala smoothed down her skirt and grinned once more at Nick. 'Well.. thankyou.' She nodded once and started for the door.
Vowing silently never to do this sort of task again. Even though it was kind of her job?.. Hm. Well, maybe she should wait a bit longer.

This had served as a distraction for the incredible amount of work that DPers had. That Nick still has. But a distraction, still. It may even help him somehow...to write something up.
People always liked to know that their Minister is sending employees to praise him around, right?
Maybe not everyone.
So, basically, this wouldn't even serve as a story? That was a shame. His eyes watched her leave...and he simply stood up and went back to his office. No need to keep being in the Conference Room, then. Even if it was the tidiest place in the DP. |
