It was an ironic place to end up. Despite the room having countless successes in solving crimes and mysteries, the dilemma in Sabel's hand could not be solved by any contraption or equipment found here.

At the moment however, it was a quiet place to think, and the atmosphere was conducive to trying to solve the riddle of the paper. He had no illusions that he could crack it. Certain liberties would have to be taken to do so, and he was not willing to go that far. In fact, he wasn't sure how far he wanted to go anymore.

So, it was more himself he was attempting to decode, sitting on one of the stools, reading the article over and over and over again. He had sent a message off to the Department Head some time ago,, asking for a word and a moment of his time, but he held no expectations of the man showing up. He was busy. He had things to do.

Words from Evander's letter echoed in his mind, and he absently rubbed his bare ring finger, starting again at the top of the article.

He had been summoned, it must have been his lucky day, no? To have his fellow Cultist lackey summoning him for a clandestine meeting in the forensics lab. He thoroughly approved. It was hilarious truly, though he wasn't certain if he was offended, amused or flattered - perhaps it was a healthy mixture of all three. Either way, there was never a dull day as Elliot Rainey, and this was something to be thankful for.

Wondering what it was that Dakest wanted to whinge about, Rainey entered the facility and locked the doors behind him, casting muffliato for good measure. This was to be a 'private' discussion after all, eavesdroppers and passers-by were not welcome here.

"What did you want, Dakest?" he said by way of greeting, the Irishman flourishing a hand before balling it into a fist and burying it in his pocket.

Or perhaps the Department Head didn't have better things to do. Or this was one of those better things. Sabel's head came up at the sound of the door opening and shutting. Was he grateful that the man had decided to humor him, or confront him? He wasn't sure, and his look held equal measures of neutrality as Rainey secured the room.

Rising from the stool, Sabel folded the paper, took a step towards his boss and offered it to him. "You've seen this?"

He kept a sharp eye on the man as he rested his hip against one of the tables, tucking his hands in his pockets. He wasn't sure he would catch anything, but if there was something to take note of, a change in expression or attitude, he didn't want to miss it.

Was it just him or was Dakest being grim? Circe help him, did none of his staff have personalities?

"Of course I have, what kind of Department Head would I be if I hadn't?" he asked in return - rhetorically of course - he didn't expect an answer. Did the Auror want to have his whinge about the article now? Woe is him? Hurt his feelings? Wrong end of the stick? Law suits and defamation? By all means, the man could do what he pleased, so long as it didn't end up coming back to bit himself in the behind. "Did you want me to rough 'em up for you?"

"It's a rag, Dakest, the fact that they've got things so wrong is hilarious, we should be sending thank you notes and sounding it over the wireless for comedic relief." Idiots. Fools.

Was this it? Were they done with his pity party? Or was there something more pressing they needed to discuss?

Touche. He pulled the paper back and deposited it on the counter.

Despite the thoughts tumbling through his head, Sabel couldn't help the smirk that grew on his lips. "Really? You'd do that for me." His eyes returned to Rainey. "I'm touched."

It did say something though. Something that made the nerves settle a little bit, and his suspicions quiet. The man's words and tone were somewhat familiar, a strange but comforting echo. "I suppose we should be."

Admittedly, during one point of his rereads, he had found the article absolutely ridiculous. To the point of laughter. Worries had kept him from laughing though. For as foolish as the lies in the article were, he couldn't disregard them, because others wouldn't discard them. And he had more than himself to worry about.

The dry humor faded from his expression as he considered Rainey. "Be it the jumble of lies that it is, it's woven from pieces of truth." And that was exactly what made good lies believable. "Perhaps not intentionally so, but one or more MLEr's are opening their mouths about things which the public has no business knowing, and will interpret wrongly." Point in case right here. Not all of it was false. The 'bribery', the eyes in the ministry. As twisted as it was, it didn't help the MLE's reputation, and it was already hurting.

"It's....a concern."

Unless Rainey cared little for what the outside world thought of his department, and from his interactions with the man so far he wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

Dakest was touched was he? HA! Rainey responded with a gruff chuckle, amused by the thought if only for a moment. "For you, anything..." but at a price. Always at a price. But blah blah blah. What of this business?

Leaning against one of the high-rise benches, Rainey took a beaker containing some clear liquid in it and gave it a sniff - deciding he wasn't going to ask questions he replaced it and instead raised an eyebrow at the Auror.

"You're not wrong, but if you mean to bring this to my attention, then you need not bother. It's on my list of things to... take care of." At this he offered a fleeting toothy grin. He wasn't about to let some loud-mouth pansies ruin things for him. He'd fought for this position for years, and finally it was his time. Great things would come of it, change was in the air... and perhaps soon, change in the staffing of the department. Who knew? There were just too many possibilities. "Of course, if you wish to make yourself useful, then by all means you could make this easier for me and simply get me the list of names responsible for the debacle." He could hazard guesses, but apparently evidence was a necessary evil when confronting people about such things.

Had it been any of the former department heads saying those words, Sabel might have continued on with it. Asked for something outrageous, or something not so outrageous. But this was Rainey, and he had a minuscule repoire with the man at best. Best not to play games with a snake whose strips and colors weren't visible. So the man simply got an amused smirk in response.

A smirk which wavered slightly. Of course Rainey knew, it was blatantly apparent in the article. That he had a plan of action, and a to-do list was slightly reassuring, but Sabel couldn't help to wonder what else was on that list. The words of the article tickled through the back of his mind, whispering suspicions. He tried to ignore them as best as his caution would allow. It wasn't like the Department Heads of the MLE could be transparent. Evander certainly hadn't been.

But it was the grin, and the words that followed that dislodged some of his new-found comfort with the man. And he found himself chuckling, however briefly. "Now, there's certainly a way to make me look like your right hand man."

Tilting his head, Sabel considered Rainey for a moment before shrugging it off. "Meaning no disrespect, but I'm not here looking for ways to be useful to you, Rainey. I didn't say this to instigate a man-hunt." Truth be told, that suggestion made him uneasy. He wasn't looking to get anyone in trouble, just set matters straight. As harmful as the article was, he doubted there had been any greater malicious intent besides a lack of caution "I only brought it up as a concern, because I think it would be more beneficial to talk to the Department as a whole and set a few things straight, than to single anyone out."

After all, this wasn't the only instance of lack of care and discretion with the MLE's reputation.

Rainey was bored with this 'meeting', and it seemed a waste of his time - something he wasn't going to be giving much more of where Dakest was concerned.

Certainly by making himself useful he could possibly appear to be his right-hand man... but that he was not. Grinning in amusement Rainey stuffed his hands into his pockets, observing the Auror kid before him. "Meaning no disrespect Dakest, but you make a terrible right-hand man, that and you're all talk and no follow through. Was there a point in raising your concerns if you aren't prepared to act on the matter?" Really, it was disappointing, if he was after a bunch of lackey's simply to bring things to attention he would hire a five year old, they were exceptionally perceptive and nosy.

"Well your concern in noted," said the Irishman, withdrawing a hand from his pocket and making waving gestures in the air. "But I best be off, lots to do." He supposed now was a good a time as any to start checkin things off his days agenda. "Keep your nose clean, Dakest," he offered in parting, unlocking the door and exiting the lab.

Sabel's smirk slipped back into place. He wasn't going to disagree with the first point, especially when it came to Rainey's right hand. Emily's or Damien's, maybe but he had to trust someone before he was willing to be useful to them. And so far, he didn't know whether he trusted Rainey or not.

As for all talk and no follow through, he let it go. Once again, there were limits on what he would do. Blind following was not his thing. And some things, were not his place. Like ratting out his fellow employees, when the matter could be handled as a whole.

It was the first time that Sabel didn't see a point in getting up in arms to defend himself. Or second, since the Prophet. At least Rainey had listened, and had decided on doing something. That had been his point, nothing more.

The smirk turned to a guarded, but appreciative smile. Once again, there was that old, familiar feeling of talking to one of the senior Auror's. That feeling that made him think he could trust the man. "You, as well."

Once Rainey was gone, it was back to reading the article for another few minutes before he too picked up his things and left the room.

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

She was looking for Vivi. The only problem with this was the fact that no matter WHERE Lex levitated her files full of information to, she...couldn't actually find her. Was she already on that maternal leave thing without telling her???? Merlin. Hopefully she'd just taken lunch at an unusual hour; people did say she was eating for two now or however that went so she'd try finding her again later. For now, she had a sample that needed testing, just a little something she'd scraped from Knockturn Alley while she toooootally wasn't patrolling.

Nope. No patrolling for this YATI. Definitely not and she most certainly didn't spend half the day patrolling down there either. Nuh-uh.

Lex dropped the files she'd been carrying around on the table she'd be working at then began rummaging through her candy bag for the samples she'd snuck back with her. Better make it quick, if certain people caught her at it, she didn't know HOW she would explain getting the sample in the first place.

Lex might have been looking for Genevieve, but she hadn't been looking in the right places. The Auror was around, working on her illegal potions mystery and trying to get her paperwork in order... and she also liked to go down to the cafeteria and eat copious amounts of chocolate pudding with cheese crackers dipped in it.

And now here was a Lex, right in the lab, looking terribly sneaky. "And what are you up to, Baby Lion? Staying out of trouble? What have you got there? A snack? A sample? Need help?" Because now that they were both here, it was an EXCELLENT opportunity for Vivi to work on Lex's Advanced Potions skills.

And to keep her out of trouble.

Lex had only JUST placed the sample on the table now that she'd rummaged around in her magically extended bag and fished it out when she heard THAT voice. Under normal circumstances she'd have spun around with the widest of grins to greet her friend and even with that whole size of a mini watermelon, Lex could have still managed a grin but see....this was all just a case of bad timing.

"Vivi! Hi!" Funny how when she'd been actively looking for her she couldn't find her then the moment she got to doing questionable things the young woman finally showed up.

Clearly the entire universe was working to get her patrol ban extended further. She would have to play it cool. What were the odds Vivi would even remember she shouldn't have been out patrolling? "Oh...just...keeping busy with this sample I got from Knockturn Alley." Lex shrugged her shoulders as if she'd just given the most natural of answers then quickly moved to change the focus of the conversation before it could be analyzed.

"I'm glad I ran into you though because the boss man told me I had to run something by you and I've just about scoured the Ministry looking for you."

Knockturn Alley had some very very bad memories for Vivi, so there was literally nothing in the world that Lex could have said that would have caused her more concern. Except maybe that she planned to set her own hair on fire before running through Muggle London. That was pretty alarming too.

"Knockturn? I hope you weren't there by yourself. And you must have gone in your free time, since I know you aren't patrolling yet. Let alone patrolling by yourself." Nice try, Cambridge. This wasn't her first time around the block. "What did you find, though? I happen to have some samples from Knockturn too."

Probably totally different things, to be honest. "And... you have a message for me from the boss?"

This....was the part where Alexa averted her gaze.

Free time...didn't go alone...not meant to be patrolling. Sounded like a solid three rules broken in one morning and though she was SURE Vivi loved her, Vivi was a tough nut about stuff especially concerning her safety and might have told Legend who'd have taken nothing but the greatest joy in extending her ban that ALREADY seemed to be coming to no end. "Right. Of course. I..." Don't wanna lie but what else is there to say? "took Rhydian with me." He'd back her up for sure.

MOVING ON TO WHAT SHE FOUND. Lex nudged the sample closer to the pregnant one. "Hairs, the coarse kind, bristly. Found near the entrance of that Elf Shop they got running down there. Place had bits of blood near the counter on the inside, got that too." Which brought her to what the boss man had her passing on. "Right message." Nod. "He wanted me to run this case I dug up by you cause it's Knockturn Alley based and he thinks it might have some relation to Peverell who he said you've got a file on. These," She said, pointing to her samples again, "were found in the location I got wind some diplomats have been meeting and are gonna continue meeting until some top secret hush hush transaction's completed. Checked with a Relations Officer on Level 5 and asked him to look into it for me, they're not aware of Dips coming in right now...like at all."

Her gaze fell curious to Vivi's only samples. "What'd you find?"

Sounded like a solid three rules broken in one morning and though she was SURE Vivi loved her, Vivi was a tough nut about stuff especially concerning her safety and might have told Legend who'd have taken nothing but the greatest joy in extending her ban that ALREADY seemed to be coming to no end. "Right. Of course. I..." Don't wanna lie but what else is there to say? "took Rhydian with me." He'd back her up for sure.

MOVING ON TO WHAT SHE FOUND. Lex nudged the sample closer to the pregnant one. "Hairs, the coarse kind, bristly. Found near the entrance of that Elf Shop they got running down there. Place had bits of blood near the counter on the inside, got that too." Which brought her to what the boss man had her passing on. "Right message." Nod. "He wanted me to run this case I dug up by you cause it's Knockturn Alley based and he thinks it might have some relation to Peverell who he said you've got a file on. These," She said, pointing to her samples again, "were found in the location I got wind some diplomats have been meeting and are gonna continue meeting until some top secret hush hush transaction's completed. Checked with a Relations Officer on Level 5 and asked him to look into it for me, they're not aware of Dips coming in right now...like at all."

Her gaze fell curious to Vivi's only samples. "What'd you find?"
Lex was lying. And rambling. Both skills that should have been worked out of her sooner, although at this point... was there any hope that Lex would learn to be a better liar? Or at least be better at not being caught? It was the first thing Vivi had ever tried to teach her, and the young woman still hadn't learned it. She never would, it seemed.

Vivi would just have a word with Rhydian about actually accompanying Lex to Knockturn Alley in the future. It wasn't overprotectiveness, since Vivi herself had been attacked there on more than one occasion. It was what a good mentor did.

"You need to slow down and go back. You found hair and blood. Who do you believe it belongs to? What do you think it might indicate? Are you testing to see if it is human, or if it belongs to a specific human? It's a finite sample, which means you need to know what you want to do with it before you begin applying potions. One sample only goes so far, and magically multiplying it can sometimes lead to false results." Vivi washed up her own cauldron and materials before returning her attention to Lex's findings. "Diplomats meeting on Knockturn... you think someone was injured there? Killed?"

As for her own work? Vivi tapped the three phials she had. "Potions samples. I think they used substandard ingredients, if the correct ones at all, and they fell off the back of a broomstick."

She wasn't sure how convinced she had gotten Vivi but the fact they were moving on was good enough for her. Who needed to talk about trivial things like who could patrol where when they had even bigger fish to fry? Thankfully not Vivi.

The string of questions didn't bother her, in fact she'd been looking into this for a solid few weeks now. It was where most of her time and energy went when she wasn't needed for YATI training in the arena which beat walking around the Ministry on patrols she wasn't meant to be on anyway that usually yielded nothing of interest. "There's a possibility it might be human hair but there were rumours passing through the alley about werewolves so I wanted to run a couple tests for that. I'll still test for human traces but that's my main focus." As she spoke she grabbed her own cauldron and proceeded to have it cleaned.

"Doesn't seem like anyone was killed but I reckon there might now be a diplomat walking around with scars his mother never gave him." The possibility still existed though given the fact she currently didn't know how many of them there were or how many there were to start with. You could only ask so many questions before the blokes down there got suspicious of you.

The back of a broomstick though....that was something? "You think someone was trying to pass them off as originals?"

Vivi rubbed her bump of a belly thoughtfully as Lex explained her thought process to her. There were all sort of pieces and parts to it, things that she was just totally missing from the half story that Lex had shared, but she was starting to put it all together. Werewolves, attacks on diplomats. It might be a huge leap, based on rumor and guessing, or Lex might have the instincts of an Auror.

Either way, it was really good practice.

"Good enough. So you know where the ingredients are, and you don't need a babysitter. I'll be here if you have questions, but I know you and I know you won't ask for help until your eyebrows are singed." She actually trusted Lex to be fine, but Vivi still moved around to put the table between them. Protecting her unborn children, no big deal.

"I think they were sold as fully potent and crafted, and they could either be duds or... have unknown side effects. This is just a sleeping draught, so I'll deconstruct it to see what went into it."

Singed eyebrows weren't something Lex typically worried about, not even in her worst Potions Lessons. The fact Vivi brought them up now? Still didn't bother her too much and EVEN Vivi moving AWAY from her didn't ruffle her feathers because by all indications things were going great. She'd be allowed to test samples she wasn't technically meant to be in possession of and her friend wouldn't be giving her a hard time about it.

"I've been keeping an eye on the Alley, heard they plan to have another visit there sometime next January thereabout which gives us plenty of time to prepare." As she understood it, the bossman wanted them going all out hence getting the Head Auror involved and stuff....which reminded her....

"Do you mind running this by Legend for me? He'll take you more seriously and is less likely to question everything if he hears it from YOU." Merlin knows his first question wouldn't be 'what's the game plan' but rather 'the hell were you doing in Knockturn Alley, I don't remember accompanying you down there'. It'd probably include a lot of squinting and suspicious looks too which was hardly condusive to building a case.

Lex eyed the sleeping potion Vivi was on the way to breaking a part. "And you say it fell off the back of a broom? What if they were trying to slip some of those to the Healers at St. Mungo's." LEX took sleeping draughts from St. Mungo's. It was all the more reason to skip them more often than she actually used them. Yup. Totally justified and she would be having a few choice words with her Healer next visit.

Well, he was fed. And he was watered. And he was back at work. Stood in front of a broomstick, hands on hips, staring at it in the hopes it would tell him what it had been enchanted with, without him having to perform any more tests on it. The thing was being stubborn so far. Every counter-charm they'd thrown at it (at all of them) had had no effect whatsoever. It still bucked like an angry Hippogriff when you rode it.

Whatever the spell was, it wasn't showing itself easily. If only it would. Then he could have written up the paperwork, fixed all the others, and moved on to the next case. As it was, he was somewhat going behind a colleagues back to enlist the help of another person to assist him. Merlin, he hoped they had more luck working as a duo on it. Maybe she could come up with ideas that were eluding him.

But talking of Lex, where was she? He'd said half an hour, and it was nearly that. Anderson took his pocket watch from the inside of his waistcoat pocket and looked down at it, frowning. He was honestly surprised she hadn't rushed everything else she had to do and got there before him. Ahh, well. Soon, no doubt.

Alexa had been in the lab...for about half an hour awaiting the arrival of the Chief Inspector. It hadn't been all that hard, grabbing the few things she needed from her desk and coming to camp out in the lab. In fact, she was in the far corner, presumably hidden by the desks and stations set up--though not intentionally. It wasn't against any rule to work in here and she wasn't hiding, it was merely a consequence of sitting crossed legged on the floor with papers strewn about before her and a sandwich which was no longer in existence after that last bite. Three years as a YATI had given her the habit of floor sitting, afterall, they weren't allowed desks until they became Aurors.

The noise of the door opening peaked her interest. Having craned her neck and getting a look at who her company was, the young Auror began packing up her things. The silent movements weren't a result of trying for stealth but yet another habit she'd picked up.

Finally though, Alexa did hop up from the ground, resting her papers on the closest table before making her way over. "This the broom we'll be looking at?" Aaand a little closer to get a better look. "Have you tried any curse breaking techniques on it yet?"

They'd been taught curse breaker back at Hogwarts. Now go ahead and ask her how much of it she actually remembered. Arithmancy was never her thing.

"Sweet Circe!!" Anderson had truly thought he was in the room alone. Because what kind of person would sneak up on a highly trained wizard like that? Lex, obviously. And she now had a wand pointed at her, and should have been very thankful he was slower to use it. His brain had recognised her voice a split second before he launched a stunner at her, and his frown could not have got any deeper. "Do NOT under any circumstances do that to me again! I could have blasted your nose off, Lex. I don't appreciate people creeping up on me."

He took a couple of breaths to calm himself and re-holstered his wand, still giving her a slight glare, before turning his attentions to what they were there to do. Right, yes. Broomsticks. "Yes, at the moment. There's a whole crate of them, but we're analysing this one first. We think it's the same spell on all of them, but we'll see. As for curses, not yet. Generally left 'til last, as the likelihood is small. But what would you suggest?"

Anderson gestured to the broomstick and folded his arms. A fresh pair of eyes might be able to bring a new outlook. And she looked keen to do something. Why did he have a feeling she knew a lot about curse breaking? Research no doubt. The girl never stopped.

His reaction caused a chain reaction in her. In seconds her wand was out too, though not to attack, solely to defend. Her first year at Hogwarts had left her scarred, with all the older students constantly sending silencing spells at her. Add YATI training and suddenly you had a girl on edge just as much as the man before her.

As it so happened, his wand was being lowered and no spells would be fired. Under any other circumstances, Lex might have mentioned the term 'constant vigilance', something all Aurors mixed into their morning coffee but this was hardly the time to be a smart mouth. The LAST thing she was trying to do was be removed from the case before it even started. "Sorry 'bout that. Wasn't trying to creep...just getting off the floor." But in future she'd make loud noises. "As a side note though," The young woman leaned against the table, giving the broom a once over, "How epic of a story would it be getting one's nose blown off in the line of work?" She was sure there were Healers who could fix it. That was the least of her worries.

Now that he was a little calmer and talking about the broom, they could get to the meat of the matter. Lex nodded along to his explanation, her thought process going along the same line his was. They were probably all rigged with the same thing...why would anyone waste time giving each broom an individual curse? And anyway they all did the same thing so...same charm/hex/jinx/curse was most likely.

"I think we should cut this guessing game in half." Came her definitive answer. "There's this spell we learned, Arithmos Revelio. It's this nifty little thing they taught in Arithmancy, tells you exactly what curse is on an object--if any. Once you cast it, numbers will appear in the air, you should work 'em out and bam, half the answer right there." Decoding was the next little niche but if all memory failed, a quick apparition home for her old Arithmancy book wouldn't take that long.
