Now where was she.
Her thoughts were stopped by singing.. humming what was that really and she started walking towards it curious. She saw someone up ahead so it was someone whistling a bit off key. She chuckled as he seemed to have been walking a bit to close to the wall. She would have felt bad if he really hit it, but he didn't so it could be chuckled at.
"Excuse me that doesn't have anything new in there about that trial where the lady escaped does it?" She was hoping maybe there would be some new information. Her step son was at Hogwarts and her own son in Australia so she worried about where this witch could be.
"Hmmmmmm?" William had just turned a page, quite comfy as he was in his stone alcove, when someone seemingly popped up nearby him.
He lowered the newspaper slightly. Oh. It was a woman. And just like that his ears started reddening. "Ummmmmmmmm... I dunno," he muttered and started to hitch the paper up again, "I only read it for the quidditch and creature bits." Mostly for the fluffy news stuff, so. Shrug.
He went back to pretend reading.

Vic looked at him curiously.. Not a people person are we. Well whatever Victoria just wanted to know if it was worth reading or not and it seemed he wasn't going to be able to tell her, well whatever. She looked around thinking about just heading on her way with her little walk.
First though she had to deal with the pain in her foot, so she leaned against the wall and messed with her heal. It seemed that at seven month pregnant it was probably time to put up the heels, but she just didn't want to yet. Charely would probably not be happy if he knew her feet were hurting, but what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. She looked up as he said about quiddtich, "Honestly if you want those why don't you just stop by my office and not waste your money on that paper." Seriously they could rattle off scores for him.
The creature bit took her interest though, "Animal lover I take it? What department are you working in? You're new right?" She didn't know everyone, but he seemed like he was a newer person. Had the fresh meat time of look to him.

William lowered the paper a little bit as the woman spoke up. Gosh. She was still here. And... wait... "You work in the Quidditch department?! I mean, Magical Games and Sports?!!" That's what it was called, right? COOL. He lowered the paper a little more as she brought up creatures.
"Yeah, that's me." He smiled a little shyly. "How did you know?" She must have been more observant than he was, as he was just now noticing that she was rather...er... large... or... pregnant? Yeah. She was expecting. That was the word.
"Do you want a chair?" William tilted his head at her lean-thing going on. She looked a bit unbalanced there. Know what, he'd just summon one up for her. So he did, and gestured toward it with a small nod.

Victoria couldn't help but smile at him, she figured that would get a reaction. "Yes I work for both. I'm the public relations rep for the quidditch department in the magical sports and games." She loved her title and her job. It was great to get to work with all the teams. Who wouldn't enjoy that work though. It was exciting well at least she thought so. "I'm Victoria Maroon by the way." Had she introduced herself she wasn't sure.
She chuckled a bit, "Well I've worked here a few years now and lately I've been taking more walks around the ministry because sitting just isn't as comfortable as it use to be, so I've seen faces and yours is one I have not." She was getting kind of good at recognizing faces even if she didn't know half the people around here. "What brings you to work here?" She was always curious as to why people took the jobs that they did.
A chair? Why would she need, but before she could really answer there was a chair for her, "Well umm thank you. I guess a second wouldn't be a bad thing. I have been walking around awhile." She didn't need Charely getting on her case about to much time on her feet and he would know if her ankles were super swollen or not.

Ooh Victoria Maroon, PR rep in Games and Sports. That sounded fancy. His eyebrows went up a bit and he offered her a handshake. "William Williamson, Senior Dragon Researcher in Creatures."
Heh, she was the senior Ministry employee here though! "I bet you know a lot of people, have a lot of connections," he mused. She was in PR, so that was like her thing, right? "Oh, I have friends and family around here," he waved a hand. "I think my dad used to work in the Ministry, actually." A long long LONG Long LONG time ago.
He smiled as she had a seat. "You don't have to stay down here and talk to me. I got... lost," Willy admitted with a slight flush to his cheeks. "Walked out of the lifts on the wrong level, I suppose."

William Williamson? Vic looked at him a few moments to decide if he was joking, but she didn't think he was. Hmm interesting one she wouldn't forget easily. "Very nice to meet you William." She got very interested as he said dragon researcher, "That sounds like an exciting position. " She wondered if there were good stories to go with such a position.
Her smile was innocent enough with his remark. "I know some yes. I have to know teams and managers and things, but connections well I'm not too sure. I guess I've never tried to pull any strings to find out." Well she had written that letter to a recruiter friend for her step son, but that didn't count in her eyes. "It's good to have friends and family around. Oh he did?" She half wondered in which department. "Mine did as well. Guess it's a family thing for some people." Seemed to be a popular idea to work here after parents did.
"Oh well I can say the same. I was just out for a little walk to stretch the legs a bit, so if you are busy I'll be on my way in a few moments." She grinned, "Do you need help finding your way back?" She had been lost a few times so she wouldn't judge him for going the wrong way.

"Nice to meet you too," William returned. "It's... different." Not as exciting as actually working ON the dragon reservation, but well. He enjoyed it.
"Well maybe with that rumor of a Quidditch World Cup coming up, you could find out!" He shot her a little wink. "Yeah, he's a lawyer of some sort. Where did your dad work?" Maybe that saying about 'a Ministry worker in every wizarding family in Britain' really was true!
He shook his head, then thought about it for a second, and changed that headshake into a nod. "Yeahhhhh actually, if you could just point me to Level 4... that would be perfect." Obviously it was up from here... no wait, down, because the Ministry worked in the opposite... er.... wait, or was it the other way around from the way you thought?
He could use some help.

"So have you personally worked with dragons or just on the researching side?" This was interesting to her. Not something she would do personally, but hearing stories sounded fun too.
Oh that rumor she sighed, "That rumor is all over the place isn't it." Last she heard they had lost planning it, but every day was different. "Well if I find out anything I'll make sure to send you an owl." She chuckled at his wink. He was a cutie wasn't he? She tried to think what exactly did her father do she really couldn't even remember. Was pregnancy brain getting her that bad. "He worked in forming new potions."
She chuckled and pushed up out of the chair, "Sure.. sure not a problem. I'm headed towards the lifts anyway. I'll help you find your way."

"Yes yes, both." William nodded sagely. "I used to be a supervisor on the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary, so I got a lot of close-up experience with them there. Oh and I hatched one at Hogwarts a few years ago, when I taught there. He's doing splendidly now." The dragon was. Or so he assumed, since the thoughtless Long-Snout hadn't bothered to keep in touch... alas. =(
Aww shucks, it was just a rumor then? "Sounds like it's not true...?" He eyed her somewhat hopefully. "Hah, please do. I'd really love to go." Especially if it was being held here. It would look like he'd finally picked the right time to stick around England!
"Thanks, Victoria." He smiled at her but noticed she was getting up a moment too late to help... oh well. He'd just leave that magic chair there. You never knew when someone else would need to come along and use it.

Victoria sat there impressed by his words. He was on a sanctuary and professor. "Wow that is amazing." She chuckled a bit, "My son would have loved to have you and see a dragon hatch, but I might have feared for the dragon." She shook her head a bit thinking about it. "He just started at Hogwarts this term." She hoped he would do well.
Shrugging she wasn't fully sure, but she didn't think they were getting it. "Last I heard it was going somewhere else and we might get the next one." She'd have to ask Mariel to get the real story behind it, but she thought that was it. She did more of the events and fundraising around the quidditch world. "I promise you'll be one of the first to know."
She headed back down the hall towards the lifts, "So where you headed back to your department or away from your department when you got lost?"

"Eh, you know." William blushed a little bit and waved a hand. Just old jobs he'd loved and left. He had a problem committing to things. Oh, she had a son? And was expecting... more? Whoa. "Sounds like he would have been a fun student," Will shot her a bit of a grin.
"Oh well, better luck next time." Sucked for the Games & Sports people though, he supposed. "Thanks, I appreciate that!"
He felt like offering her his arm or something, since she was getting kind of... large, as pregnant women did... but she knew where she was going so he hung back just behind her. "To my department, please." He'd blown enough time down here.

Victoria started waddling towards the lifts, "Oh you might have. He's a ball full of energy though and some professors at his old school didn't see it as a good thing." She chuckling knowing most was his fault, but he was a good kid at heart she truly believed that.
"It was disappointing, but what are you going to do so we just keep moving on other things." She had a stack of things to do before she left on maternity leave so to her not getting it this year wasn't too heart breaking and like he said they always had next year.
She smiled as she continued waddling, "From here you will go up to level four. I know how confusing this place can be. Whomever decided to make the numbers seem backwards I think did it for a good prank." Good sense of humor that one.

"Hey, better a ball full of energy than a blob full of boring, if you ask me." And no one had asked him, sure, but he was giving his opinion as a former professor.
Yea, true. William shrugged and continued following. So he had to go UP to level four. "Got it!" he said more confidently than he sounded. Yeah, whoever had planned this place had a weird sense of humor. They were probably an arithmancer. Still, he followed Victoria into the lift without further ado.

Sophie should have been sitting in her cubicle doing work. She wasn't supposed to be exploring random ministry corridors in the company of one of her new department colleagues Margaret. The ministry probably didn’t look as idly on its employees exploring the depths as the Hogwarts professors had done in her school days.
But she couldn’t help herself. The lure of the suspense, adventure and her curiosity to see where something led had brought her into this dank alcove with poor lighting. Pulling out her wand from its holster Sophie quietly mumbled "Lumos!" to light up the area in front of her. Turning to her blond companion she asked. "Margaret, should we try and see where this corridor leads or start trying to find our way back?"

He was making his way through the lowest levels of the Ministry this week. A start off with Jasper's department had been the cards and seemed alright. Now Simon was heading up, walking quietly along through the bowels of the dark stone walls. As always he was alert to his surrounds and others, giving a polite nod or the occasional greeting to those he passed along the way should they have greeted him first.
But eventually he was alone.
It wasn't hard to tell why as he made his way through some of the less friendly portions of the building. But it was still the Ministry and as such, still some place to look after. Who knew at times, it could easily be a place that the less then behaving members of staff might be hiding out in favor of the less crazy location it presented. "Lumos," Simon cast, adding a bit of light to the area that almost reminded him of the abandoned subway tunnels the MLE had had to work in a few years back due to the chizpurfle infestation.
Shiver...there better not be any of those creatures still around.

Or mutants.
No chizpurfles. No mice. No rats. Not even any alligators.
But there was a scuttle. A very distinctive claws-on-stone scuttle, moving fast and headed directly in Simon's direction. Should the man happen to look down, he might notice a tiny dragon, no bigger than the palm of his hand, scampering rapidly towards him with black, beady eyes focused intently on his trouser leg. Black scales would seem to ripple with blue and green in the light from his wand as it's tail trails along behind it like an additional snake. Wings would be seen to be pressed against it's tiny back, and there could be no mistake as to what its intentions are.
If Simon however, happened to look up, he would see a rather confused and perturbed Sabel wandering much slower down the hall towards him, pausing to check nooks and crannies. All the while rubbing the back of his neck and muttering something about loosing marbles.

Simon did hear something.
The sounds of something that made him pass his gaze and wand light back and forth across the tunnel but there was nothing in the immediate vacinity to be seen at first. Yet still it was there and when the security man lowered his gaze and light he believed he spotted movement. He backed up almost involuntarily and it was then he caught further movement out in front of him further up and along the corridor. This time in the form of a human being.
"Hey..." he greeted, vaguely reconizing the familiar form of his friend coming his way. "Did you see something? Something...living?" Simon swore there was something but even his training to notice even the smallest stuff was seemingly failing him at the moment. The less then optimum surroundings didn't help at all. "Revelio!" he cast towards where he spotted the faint blue and green before.

Too fast. Too slow. Back this way, over that way. Clearly, the little dragon didn't want to be seen. But if it was seen, it would be noted that the determination that was there before had multiplied several fold. It's long neck was low to the ground, it's wings pressed tightly against its back and its legs moving as quickly as possible, skittering this way and that towards Simon.
A light chirping growl of discontent sputtered from it as it scrambled forward on the stone, away from the casting and right to Simon's boot. There, if it did not get stepped on, it would curl up around his ankle, just under the hem of his pant leg.
Sabel, however, was much slower in his approach. Still checking crevices and cracks, he cast a glance toward his friend. His brow was knitted with a mixture of amusement and worry, all comipled into one. "Hey......"
Did he see something living? "Uh...yeah...about ten minutes ago."
Ten frustrating minutes. And if he didn't find it, it would be a whorl-wind of trouble. Pausing in his search of the floor at his feet, Sabel cast a glance towards Simon. After Rainey's instructions and Simon's question at the conference, this could go very awkwardly. No. He shook his head. This was Simon. He could trust Simon. And Simon had seen something. Maybe.
Definitely. With the casting of that spell, it was definite yes. Hurrying over with tip-toeing steps, Sabel looked about wildly on the ground. "Where did you see it?"

A light chirping growl of discontent sputtered from it as it scrambled forward on the stone, away from the casting and right to Simon's boot. There, if it did not get stepped on, it would curl up around his ankle, just under the hem of his pant leg.
Sabel, however, was much slower in his approach. Still checking crevices and cracks, he cast a glance toward his friend. His brow was knitted with a mixture of amusement and worry, all comipled into one. "Hey......"
Did he see something living? "Uh...yeah...about ten minutes ago."
Ten frustrating minutes. And if he didn't find it, it would be a whorl-wind of trouble. Pausing in his search of the floor at his feet, Sabel cast a glance towards Simon. After Rainey's instructions and Simon's question at the conference, this could go very awkwardly. No. He shook his head. This was Simon. He could trust Simon. And Simon had seen something. Maybe.
Definitely. With the casting of that spell, it was definite yes. Hurrying over with tip-toeing steps, Sabel looked about wildly on the ground. "Where did you see it?"
Sabel acknowledged the greeting with one of his own. The look on his friend's face was one that sent an eyebrow or two of Simon's own up a little higher in curiousity and concern. So he had seen something, something living, several minutes ago. Did that mean that the other man had been following it? Was that why the auror and the it were now currently in the same corridor with him?
He continued to glance around but his spell turned up nothing other than the reaction it got. There was a new sound and then more scuffling and suddenly he felt it. There was something on his foot...no...wrapped around his ankle and he froze in place. One, because he didn't want whatever it was to get any troublesome ideas and two....so maybe whatever it was could be caught. Because yes...they would be catching it and taking care of it, mainly because he didn't want to be the one to have to explain why he was the one who caused another infestation...of whatever it was.
Simon's eyes flitted up as Sabel awkwardly moved closer to him. Where had he SEEN it?
"Left...foot."
As in he felt more than saw it under his pant leg.
SPOILER!!: Dragons? What dragons? Just looking for marbles is all *whistle*[QUOTE=Holmesian Feline;11730224

It took Sabel a moment to decipher what his friend meant by left foot. "Merlin's beard, you didn't step on it did you?" Not that it would really matter, but it would be a sore sight for both their eyes.
Squatting, Sabel pointed at Simon's trouser leg. He began pointing and was about to say something before he caught himself. Given Simon's expression and paling complextion, perhaps it was a good idea to tell him what was going on? "Don't worry. It's just a little dragon. Transfigured dragon." Very important point to make. Completely legal.
As long as it didn't get too far.
He finished his pointing. "It shouldn't bite."
But then, it shouldn't have run off either. His fault on that one really. He hadn't been paying close enough attention.

"No...! " Simon was quick to defend himself when Sabel responded excitedly about endangering the creature. Merlin help him from the wrath of his father if he had done so, especially when said creature had currently been innocent. "He's ON my left foot," he clarified as his friend got to down to inspect the spot where the creature was. It was then that the auror decided to finally fill him in with what was going on, a look of understanding coming on his face.
One of those.
"Key word shouldn't," he mused down at Sabel. "Be more concerned it burned. Like stuff around here that it shouldn't." Merlin's beard the chizpurfles and mutants had both done a fair bit of damage, the former being by far the worse.
Now the just actually had to get a hold of it and Simon was trying to think of how best to manage it. In case Sabel just grabbing it back from his ankle while he was down there didn't work. "Will you come out little fella?" he asked, looking down where it was, his left hand empty and open at his side.

Well, good. Good good. He wasn't sure how a marble-turned dragon would react to being stepped on, or if that right there would end the spell. He never really thought about trying to catch it by the tail as it ran away from him, and he was relieved that stomping on the slithering creature wasn't on Simon's to-do-list.
There were many good things about the man, namely at the moment that he didn't absolutely loose it at having a dragon wrapped around his ankle, and learning that his friend had created said dragon.
"Well, I can't make any promises." On the foot, not under it. Sabel eyed the hem of Simon's pantleg. "Though I can say given he's born of a marble, he's more likely to run and roll than attack." If it had been made from something like a venus flytrap, well that would be another story entirely.
An indignant hiss came from under Simon's pantleg as the man try to coo-coax it out of hiding, the dragon poking his head out briefly to stick his tongue out at the two of them, before disappearing under the hem of the pant.
Sabel glanced up sheepishly at his friend.
He supposed he could just cancel the spell. Only problem with that would be that he couldn't exactly see where the dragon was, and if he did, it would turn back into a marble and roll all the way down the hallway. Probably into some dark corner too. He really didn't want to loose the marble, his daughter had entrusted it to him after all.

So there was the thought of simply ending the spell running through Simon's mind, returning the faux dragon to its normal marble self. It would make it somewhat easier given they wouldn't have to deal with a semi-sentient creature who was currently hiding on his person. But then there was the aspect of whether or not this was Sabel's dragon or that of another and whether or not ending the spell was a decision they actually had. The other man certainly didn't seem to be in the position to want to do anything along that path.
Yeah, he saw that sheepish look, Dakest.
Which meant he still had a pant buddy.
A hiss coming from his pant leg wasn't very promising. Nor the small head that stuck out to greet them before returning to its hiding space at his ankle. "My pocket is a better spot...or the shoulder..." he suggested, wondering if a marble-turned-dragon had the reasoning of an actual creature in this situation. His pet bat, which was the closest thing he had experienced to the miniature dragon, had certainly enjoyed those choices of perch. So he supposed it was worth a try to try and coax it somewhere other than its current hiding spot.

Instead of taking Simon up on his offer of an alternate vantage point, the dragon hissed again. And then, perhaps deciding that up was better, crawled halfway up the man's calf, wrapping tail, wing and legs tightly around his leg so it wouldn't fall off.
It was at the point that the tail disappeared that Sabel knew there was nothing more he could do. Pushing himself to his feet, he brushed off his hands and glanced at his friend. "You wouldn't mind letting him ride along for a little while, would you?" Cause he didn't think there was a chance that either of them would be trying to retrieve the dragon as it was.

Another hiss came from the little dragon hitching a ride on his leg. So much for coaxing it into a better position for them both. Perhaps it was both sentient AND smart, aware that once it was out it would be caught most likely now that there were two of them trying to catch and retrieve it. Whatever the case, his rider was now not only on his leg, but crawling up his leg causing the security man to momentarily freeze in place again. Simon could both feel it and seeing the bump underneath the fabric of his pant leg.
Thankfully it stopped its movement once it was halfway up his calf. Perhaps a blessing given him by the fact that his clothes restricted its movement somewhat. "I suppose I don't have that much choice at the moment," he mused thinking over options of which there wasn't much. It was a good thing for Sabel and his dragon that he wasn't the sort to go crazy over a situation like he was in.
"Only a matter of deciding where to go." He himself had simply been wandering and patrolling up the levels.
