Walking into the room, Ariana smiled as she looked around at her surroundings. Everything seemed to be in place; the playpen was full of brand new muggle toys, with some wizarding toys mixed in. The differences in toys was astounding she surmised as she closed the door behind her breathing in the scent of newness. Sienna was asleep in her buggy and she set it down gently, glancing into the buggy with a tender look. Sienna was holding the ragged blanket that had once been Arianas, suckling the end even in slumber.

Picking her up gently so as to not wake her she placed her in the crib and covered her in the blanket. Now that she was sleeping, Ari could get to work in the finishing touches. Taking out her much used wand she flicked it a few times, sparkly lights coming out of the tip and surrounding the walls, creating a soft yellow glow even with the lights off. Something nice and soft that wouldn't wake up the young children. Another flick of the wand created colorful dots on the wall, yellow and greens and soft blues.

Decorations complete, for now at least Ari set to finishing the other things she needed. Sitting down on the chair that had been provided she began writing a list of nutritional foods she'd need, and she'd need to purchase a cooler for the food of course. That would be for later though; for now she could just sit back and ponder things.

Sophie smiled as she peeked her head in and was greeted by the wizard. It was an adorable thing and Nia found it fascinating. Yes, her sister wouldn't mind being left there until their mother picked her up. Signing Nia in, Sophie walked her over to one of the playpens and set her down. "Little one, sissy must go back to work," she smiled as her sister looked up at her with huge eyes. "Mummy will be here to pick you up soon. Be a good girl for Ari, okay?"

Nia blinked and grabbed a stuffed animal and started to squeeze it. Yes, the little one would love it there. Shaking her head, Sophie turned and glanced around. It wasn't all that full in there at the moment, but she did want to at least tell Ari that Nia was there and her mother would be picking her up soon.

Matthew found the play room quickly and smiled at the wizard that greeted him. He put April down and let her into the playpen. She grinned widely and rushed over to the table with parchment and colouring materials.

"She's four," Matthew told the wizard as he signed in April's name. "I have another daughter, 11. She's with her mum right now, taking care of our account."

Matthew felt awkward. "I'm a lawyer...a Muggle...but my wife's a witch. A doctor. Healer, I mean," he continued and sat down. "I er...I think I'll just wait here with April."

Hades walked in, carrying his little sister Scarlet. He couldn't believe he had to take her here! His friends were just in the middle of a mini Quidditch game! "Uh, hi. He said to the man in a bored, teenager voice. "This is my little sister Scarlet... Scarlet Maze. Hades signed Scarlet's name messily on the sheet, and plonked her in the middle of the playroom.

Then he looked around carefully. If any of his friends saw him doing this, he'd be dead.Oh, and, er... take, um, good care of Scarlet, okay? He whispered to the cheerful wizard. Hades then sprinted out of the playroom, hoping nobody had heard.

Oh here it was! It was easy to spot with the drawing on the front. Walking inside she greeted the nice looking man with a colorful hat. "Hello there, I'm Felicity and this is my son.." she turned around, he had just been standing right next to her.

Sighing, she saw he had darted over to the stuffed animals, yes he was definitely her son. Shaking her head a bit, "My son Donovan." she smiled "He's five, Hopefully he won't be too much of a handful. I'll be back in an hour or so."

She walked over to Don who was preoccupied with a cute stuffed dragon, "Be good okay Don?" she said kissing him on the head and then walking out of the room with a wave. She had to leave him with a nanny everyday when she went to work, so he was use to it.

Heels clicking all the way to a childishly marred door off the hall, Lucia entered the play room. She strode past the stuffed animals strewn around and the witches and wizards on the wall, right to the small table beside the playpen. She was old and her joints got stiff, so pulling out her wand, she enlarged one of the chairs for herself and took a seat, turning to the Chief Investigator and his band of MLE monkeys.

If they wanted seats, they could enlarge them by themselves. It wasn't her job to be hospitable to non-customers, see?

"You may proceed with your questioning." And make this quick, people, Lucia didn't have all day.

The MLE was here, eh? Probably running security checks or something, right? Especially in light of recent events and all. But no problem, Adam had it under control. Nothing to worry about. No break-ins or escaped goblins or other incidents in 127 days. He had a count in his office.

The head of security walked into the playroom just ahead of Colin, hands in his pockets. He stood in a manner where he could be part of the conversation, but also see the goings-ons inside the bank.

So what's up, MLE?

Obviously the attempt at being genial had been lost on the older woman, and therefore Dorian had lapsed into silence after nodding at the man to show he’d acknowledged the comment about the Gringotts goblins. He knew that they were capable of speaking for themselves, and that was the reason why they were there. They weren’t there to interrupt business, threaten the employees, or taken them from their jobs. It was just unfortunate that seemed to be how their presence was being taken. He’d just have to find a way to correct that once they were away from the main room, seeing as another detail that had fallen into place was that the other MLE employees seemed to be following his lead now. That was new, but if that was how they’d manage not to alienate Gringotts, he’d take that position. At least he had Elinor behind him, and he trusted her. He doubted the kit would be needed yet, but she was more comfortable with it so there it was.

Following the older woman, the manager, into the play area as instructed, he chose to remain standing. Not out of any intent to seem imposing. She seemed to want to keep things quick, and that meant not wasting the time charming the chairs to hold him like she had. He’d bow down to her age, at least metaphorically, and allow her to sit, anyway, while they cleared things up. Plus, he sent a nod toward the new arrival as he’d placed himself near the door. Must be Security, he thought, turning his attention back to the woman. “Mrs. Clark, I apologize if this seems to be an invasion. We’re simply here to look into the goblin repossession that occurred at Hogwarts earlier in the school term,” he clarified calmly, trying to defuse the situation once again. “If you can tell us anything about that, feel free, but otherwise, we would like to speak with whichever of your goblins who might be of service.” It wasn’t an interrogation, and hopefully it wasn’t going to have to be one. This was a simple mission to gather information peaceably.

Victoria followed the lot clutching her purse. Her eyes wandered around taking in what they passed and such. For no reasons really, just out of habit. As they stepped into the play room, she tried not to raise her eyebrows too much. Why were they in the play room again? Weren't there any offices. Interesting. Just mentally stating facts. to go and report later

The secretary noted the presence of another man. Clearly the manager had people around her all the time.

Seeing that the chief inspector didn't take a seat, she decided not to either. She tucked a loose lock of hair behind her ear and remained silent. Dorian would do the talking. Minister's office representatives were to observe.

The blond's eyes searched the room with her eyes and took notice of every single detail.

Elinor followed the others into the playroom without saying a word, clutching the strap of the bag with one hand and falling in place dear Dorian. He was always very eloquent, she thought, a good speaker. And so, the MLEers let him speak. She didn't recognise the others from the Ministry, apparently employees from the Minister's offices. She nodded her head in greeting and looked between Dorian and the bank workers.

Although the woman was just a lab worker, just someone to run the numbers, interrogations could likely prove useful to her, as well. After all, the more she, herself knew, the better conclusions she could draw from the evidence. Which she was itching to collect. But she didn't know much at all, and now she was here to help figure out who. And why. And how. And all of those delicious little questions.

The delicious little questions that someone would ask sooner or later, and as of yet, she was not the someone to ask them.

Colin quietly stepped into the playroom. He stood a foot or so behind Boss Lady. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he processed the information. Goblin repossessions.

"Just the goblin repossessions?" he asked. Just to clarify. Nothing about the... other thing? In his opinion that seemed more of MLE's area as opposed to any sort of repossession.

Benjy quietly stepped in behind the rest of the group. He would just listen and take notes for now. If there was something they were missing, he'd make sure to speak up. At the moment though, Dorian seemed to have a handle of things. Elinor was here too, so maybe there was more that Wes wanted them to find out while they were here.

The redhead turned his attention back to what was happening at the moment though, especially with these Gringotts employees seeming to be very bothered.

With a glance at Dorian, Elinor stepped up and finally opened her mouth to speak. Because she was certainly not here to discuss repossessions.

"No, sir," she corrected, looking between the bank employees. "I am here to take a look at vault 713, concerning the recent theft." As far as she had been told, it wasn't officially a break-in. But that was, after all, part of the suspicious circumstances of the crime. "My name is Elinor Danvers," she introduced, "I am the laboratory director for the MLE." She was sure there would be some bit of resistance from somebody about people poking around the vaults, and perhaps they would be somehow reassured that they hadn't sent along a rookie to look at the crime scene.

"I have no need to know about any repossessions, but I would be very interested to hear anything concerning the theft that might help us figure out exactly what happened." Interested thought she might be to learn about the repossession, she was a scientist here to look at physical evidence of the crime. She would no doubt hear all about what the others learned when they returned to the MLE offices.

By now, Dorian was almost settling into the unofficially elected position of speaker for this little mission. He wasn’t yet certain if the earlier coldness had been dispelled yet, but that was something he was going to keep trying to do for as long as he had to. None of these people had done anything wrong, and there was every possibility that even the goblins hadn’t. This was just an informational outing, not a true interrogation, so nobody should feel threatened. It was just a matter that had also been put into his control, since so far nobody else had spoken up to agree with what he had said or say anything else for that matter. It was almost like everyone from the Ministry had gotten into place behind him, yet they weren’t really all in one mind. The MLE group knew why they were there, but the presence of Level One employees wasn’t expected. Almost as if they were being watched, but he wasn’t about to slip up.

He might have been a former Gryffindor, but he wasn’t reckless. To prove that point, he’d stepped aside slightly as Elinor had spoke from next to him, in response to the Gringotts man’s attempt at clarification. He was fully willing to let her speak up, when he knew she was no more likely to mess things up for them than he himself was, and he let her finish before he spoke up again. “My associate is correct. While the most recent event seems to have been the repossessions, everything began with the theft from vault 713, and it is also quite connected to the goblins. I don’t believe I’m in error if I state that you are not physically able to access the Hogwarts vault on your own,” he stated, keeping his voice pleasant. Odds were things hadn’t changed that much since he himself was a student learning about how Gringotts and its vaults worked. If they inferred a connection between the theft and the sub sequent mission to repossess most of the school’s belongings, that was because it was logical. If they solved the first, the second likely would be clarified as well.

Skepticism was ALL over Lucia's face. "If this wasn't an invasion, Mr. Chief Investigator person, we would have received proper notice that an interrogation of the bank would be occurring. Which we did not." Or she didn't, at least, and she expected things like that to be run by her always.

And now they wanted access to her goblins AND her vaults? Without notice?

Merlin, she needed some coffee.

"Very well, then." Lucia hopped up from the enlarged chair and left it as was- she'd take care of it when the MLE monkeys left. "I will bring the goblins back here to be questioned by Mr. Tamerlane and whoever else he wishes to be present, and Colin will take Ms. Danvers and her accompaniment up to Vault 713, along with Quizzit Wizspigot. He is the goblin that was present at the time the Board of Governors treasurer discovered the vault was empty."

And Adam was staying with HER. Colin was a big boy, he could take of himself.

She gave both of the men firm nods before going to retrieve the goblins.

Adam was going to volunteer himself to escort the woman to the vault, but if Lucia felt he needed to stay here, then so be it.

He stayed a quiet observer, keeping his eyes on the bank hall and ears on the conversation, until Lucia left. "If you only had a few questions, surely it wasn't necessary to bring so many people along?" Just seemed funny to him. A group of MLE officers claiming it wasn't an invasion. A single person, that wasn't an invasion. A group? That was.

Colin nodded at the Ministry employee with the bag. That made sense. He wasn't sure what MLE could do with the goblins. Technically it was a repossession. Which, was, warranted.

Ah. Yes. Quizzit Wizspigot. The goblin that most obviously had the best name the oldest of the bunch.

He nodded to Boss Lady before motioning for Bag!Lady to follow him. He'd take inventory of his group when they got to the counter.

He nodded at Adam as he passed. It went without saying that he'd have a better grasp on decoding goblins than the MLE person would. So it was a good thing he was staying behind. Especially if any of the goblins felt threatened.

Oh, the skepticism hadn’t been missed on Dorian. That was just another hurdle that was placed in front of him and, apparently, the rest of the group from the Ministry, and he wasn’t going to quail in front of it. He wasn’t going to break because the bank manager and her employees obviously thought they were going at this in all the wrong ways, and he most certainly wasn’t going to leave without getting information to report back to Wes. The only question he had was the presence of the Level One employees, but he wasn’t going to let that bother him. At least they seemed to be getting past the original freeze-out, but there appeared to still be one question that needed to be addressed. “Had this been an interrogation of the bank, as you so eloquently define this, madame manager, I can assure you that proper notice would have been sent. However, this is just a bit of an informal meeting to get details straight. I’m sure that you don’t want to have to handle events such as what happened on your own in future,” he replied, still speaking as calmly as he had previously, albeit with a glance toward the man he’d deemed security added to the mix. He hadn’t missed the woman’s intentional neglect in using his name either.

At least they were getting somewhere, and he nodded again at Elinor as the directive to follow Colin down to the vault had been made. “Take either Benjy or Sky with you, just to be safe,” he said in a low voice to his laboratory supervisor, before glancing back toward the bank manager and the security man. “Perhaps you should direct the question toward the Minister?,” he offered, in response to the almost hesitant query from the man, his grey eyes shifting toward the two Minister’s office representatives. He’d take responsibility for Elinor and the two hit wizards, but the Level One representatives weren’t part of his directive. Perhaps his people would like to step forward to offer their reason for being here while they waited for the manager to return with the other goblins.

Desmond had been standing at the back of the group throughout the meeting, as he arrived later than the others and only caught up once they were entering the play room. He listened as Dorian took charge and nodded when he felt appropriate, such as when the Chief Inspector mentioned the repossession in Hogwarts and when the Labritory Director mentioned Vault 713. He thought that the theft from Vault 713 was more important, but they were both serious.

Although he did find it hilarious that his little brother had to eat with plastic cutlery.

When the woman (boss lady) went to fetch the Goblins, he decided to step forward and explain why he was there. As much as he wanted to go and look around in the vault for clues, he knew that Elinorand whoever she took with her would do the job no problem. What was the point in three people doing the same job when two was more than enough? So he decided to stay and help Dorian. Goblins were tricky, and he thought that since his job did involve investigating, that he could help.

He took a step forward, moving towards the front of the group and inclined his head to the security man. He thought that it would be best if the man was aware of his presence, just in case his wand hand got twitchy. "My name is Desmond Campbell" He introduced himself. He did this for the man and advisor's benefit, as he was sure his MLE collegues knew who he was. "I'm working with the Magical Law Enforcement Squad who are also looking for information about the goblin repossession Hogwarts, and also into the recent reports of theft from Vault 713"

He knew that he would probablt have to repeat himself to the goblins, but what was the harm in breaking the ice with the humans?

Four MLERs was hardly an invasion, an invasion would be huge. Sky thought to herself. Well if she added the Level one employees then it could seem like a group but she was still wondered why they had been assigned to come as well. But she wouldn't focus on them. First the task at hand. She took a look at Elinor, she could go if she wanted. But after seeing a nod being given towards Benjy she turned her attention back to Dorian. As Desmond came over and announced his presence, she gave a hello nod towards him. Had he broke the awkward silence?

Benjy dismissed himself from the group to join Elinor. He'd feel better knowing that Sky was with Dorian and the other dude as well as the level one people. There would be plenty of people to keep an eye on things if the goblins got upset at all. Plus, he could hold his own with Elinor, and he trusted her after their encounter in his first year at the ministry. So with a small nod to his wife and Dorian, Benjy stepped over next to Elinor and left with her and the gringotts man.

Tailed by the other goblins, Quazi entered the Play Room, looking quite disgruntled. What did these people want? Mrs. Clark didn't look too happy either, and her work was being interrupted. She had vaults to manage, and wizards bossing her around and interrogating her like the manager said they would be weren't things the female goblin much appreciated.

She shot looks to Hemlor and Tumplin, as well as Sturnik. What was their strategy here? Silence? As little information as possible? Conciseness? Why were they even being questioned? it wasn't a robbery, they'd taken what was rightfully theirs.

These people could have at least given the goblins time to confer. Respect.

"In other words, you don't know?" Adam said to the man telling him to ask the Minister, amused. It was okay if they didn't know why they were ALL sent here, of course. But it was slightly strange. Didn't they think so themselves?

And he nodded at Desmond. "Very well, then." Whatever.

The goblins started coming in, so Adam stepped back to let the MLE do their job. However, he wasn't going to leave the room.

The blond was listening and taking in what was being said and all. Of course she wasn't going to write. Her memory was quite excellent and she worried not about forgetting anything. Was Hyun paying attention? It was his first task. From what she noticed, none of the Bank employees were happy to have so many people asking questions. Secretly, she did agree that there was quite a group.

She watched as some of the MLEs left to check the vault. She didn't join. They were here to observe the goblins' questioning. Victoria was still silent until the man wondered about the number of people.

After giving Dorian the chance to answer, she finally spoke up. "I do believe everyone here has a certain role. As Mr.Tamerlane said this isn't an invasion." She said. "You do realize that the vault incident is of huge importance. It requires several specialists of different domains to work on this." She told him hoping that would be a bit convincing. Though most of the employees present were from MLE, each held a different post.

Then she saw the Goblins enter.
