Default Office of Department Head Emily Browne
˝ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ˝ Team House Elf


banner by sweetpinkpixie


The large office reserved for the Department Head, has been stripped wall to wall and ceiling to floor, and extensively laden with security charms creating a net of impenetrability. These charms, hexes, jinxes, curses and a multitude of advanced spells cross over and intertwine in numerous places making it impossible to get into and impossible to eavesdrop upon. Anyone who has tried have found themselves permanently without ears - how unfortunate for them.

The office contains a distinguished mahogany interior, and there are two large wall-to-wall shelves spanning the back and side of the room occupied by thick tomes of various colours and sizes. A large world map has been fixed to the wall beside the door, with a deliberate tangle of coloured string with photographs and newspaper cutouts fixed to the areas of importance. The focal point of the room, is the large desk and leather chair which is reserved for the Department Head, though it is usually unoccupied. Emily doesn't wish to encourage people to visit and 'chat' for extensive periods of time, preferring to keep people on task and active in their roles, so the two chairs reserved for guests are less comfortable than the norm.

The handsome fireplace on one of the walls has only a few direct floo links, and these are password protected – restricting those coming in and going out. The password changes every week but the links are always active. If anyone were to try to floo their way in or out without the correct password, they would find themselves in one of the holding cells on Level Two. In addition to this, Emily keeps a monthly calendar engraved in the desk. It changes as the month turns and is only visible with a spell Emily would have to teach you herself, should she consider you to be significant enough to be privy to her plans.

Emily keeps her work extremely organised and secured, the only papers you will find on her desk when she's not present are those which have not long ago found their way into her in-tray. A photograph of her adopted son Zeke and her significant other, Gavin, sits on the corner of her desk, though one would typically not notice it, owing to the fact it is facing her, and her alone.

As a result of the nature of MLE, Emily spends as little time in her office as possible, preferring to be out and about on business, or mingling with her employees, feasting in the food court or stocking up on coffee for the copious amounts of paperwork which will need to be done when she indeed confines herself to this room. For this reason, her door is always locked and well secured, so unless you know the password of the hour, and are exceptionally skilled in the art of survival, you could, avoid dismemberment and spontaneous combustion, and get in.

The office can be used, with permission from the Department Head, for division meetings if the conference room is in use, or if a smaller, more intimate setting is required.

You are here.

Please read the thread description before posting here! This is not a public thread, but anyone is welcome to have their character knock on the door, assuming they have come through reception first. Emily probably isn't in, though, so it would be best to make an appointment first.

This, was probably a bad idea. Probably a very bad idea. A very bad idea that needed doing. Rainey was gone, and Browne was someone he didn't know. Likewise, she didn't know him. He doubted that he'd have the same understanding with her as he had with Rainey, but it was important that he tried. Otherwise, what was the point of the last three years? He could find other ways, and other means.

But, he was here now and there was no telling what was going to happen if he didn't try. So, a rap-a tap-tap on the door and he waited. Hat smartly on head. Check. Shoes polished. Check. Tie knoted properly. Check. Serious-business expression. Partial check.

It was for certain. He was a man made ready for trouble.

She had her nose in a folder when there was a knock at the door. Ordinarily she disliked visits to her office, not simply because she disliked to socialise on the job, but also because it doomed her to the confined space for longer than otherwise necessary.

With a flick of her wand in the direction of the door - throwing it open - Emily uttered a casual, "Come in," as she finished scanning the data on the page in front of her and cross-referencing it with the one she had viewed before it.

Alright, so there were a few pages in his life book about most terrifying moments. It seemed, that with the rather 'ominous' (and from his point of view dissassociated) words, he would be adding another page to that book under the Terrifying category.

With a suck in of air that ballooned his chest out less than half an inch, Rhydian reaffixed his hat on top of his head and timidly poked his head round the doorframe. His lower body inched in afterwards. BossLady seemed rather busy and preoccupied, but the doors had opened in a welcome manner, despite her nose saying otherwise.

For a moment, Rhydian teetered on the brink of the entryway, gathering himself again. Then, it was a march-strut over to the chairs and he plopped his bottom down on one of the padded seats across from the woman. "Is this a safe place?"

She finished her assessment of the data quickly, opting to revisit it once she was less distracted, though a few circles were drawn around particular figures of interest to serve as a reminder for then. Finally looking up, Emily glimpsed Blackhold's head peeking into her office. Merlin.

He hadn't seemed bothered to close the door behind him either, so she assumed this would be a short visit, and one he didn't mind for people to overhear. So be it, if he felt more comfortable that way. Placing the papers she was viewing into a folder and returning it to her in-tray, Emily then inhaled a short breath and considered he YATI for a generous moment.

Safe place?

"I doubt very much you'll find injury within these walls unless you're attempting to gain entrance without my permission... so I'm sure you can ascertain the answer to that question yourself." She wasn't going to go nutcracker on him, unless there was cause... so he could speak freely, if that was what he was alluding to. "What can I do for you?"

"Ah well, wouldn't think about breaking in. Not really my style." Rhydian hesitated before leaning back slowly into the chair, testing it's softness as he lay his arms on the arm rests. "What I really meant was....well, that is to say, is it safe to speak without worry about being hauled out in shackles and chains?"

So, she could kind of answer that question first before she could do anything. Reverse though, she could do something for him, and he back-tracked as quickly as he dared. "Actually, come to think of it you could just...promise me that much?"

Not his style, well that was reassuring...

Emily was already regretting opening her door, because though she knew little of Blackhold, somehow the very idea of incarceration sounded more pleasant than whatever this was going to be. But she was curious, why exactly would he need to be hauled away in shackles?

Circe, he hadn't killed anyone... had he? Grand theft? Breached the Statute of Secrecy? Already she was rubbing her temple, wishing she had something more in her office than just water. And he had the audacity to ask her for a promise?

"Are you school aged?" she asked, her wand finding its way into her palm quicker than he could say 'Auror'. With a fraction of a flick she sent bullets of flames at his hat. "Hats are for outdoors play, and show some respect, I'm not here to make promises...."

Sigh. YATI.

"Let me rephrase, what are you here for?"

So, along with the few pages in his book that 'Terrifying' occurred in, they were often accompanied with the much smaller print entry of 'screams like a little girl'. Unfortunately, that footnote would be put under this entry as well.

It was the flames, at his head, that did it. Quicker than a fish going belly up, Rhydian squeaked that highly unpleasant sound, snapped his legs up, his arms around them and all but dropped his head and shoulders into the bundle of limbs that was currently him. His hat, he discovered after straightening a tad and peaking around the back of his chair, was in right shambles.

The sheer audacity!

"I do hope that your licence for your wand comes with a reimbursement statement." Seriously, this woman was mad. At least Rainey only gave looks and knocks to the head. At least he respected the hat. It said a lot about a person. "That was one of my favorites. And I'll have you know hats are very dignified and respectable."

Turning back to where the actual threat in the room was, Rhydian carefully let his limbs return to their proper positions of floor and sides. "Wouldn't be complete without them."

No promises factor was dully noted. She could have just said so, without singeing his hair. No promises for non-arrest though. That was just bloody brilliant. Like bad custard on top of an already bad Welsh cake.

He huffed. "I'm here to let you know I'm right rubbish at being a YATI, and I'll make a mockery mess of being an Auror. Guaranteed."

Emily had hoped the YATI had some preparedness, but evidently not as he seemed to go belly-up on things. The sound that came from him was bad enough, but the jumble of limbs that he was only served to add to her concerns. What was Rainey thinking? Allowing this boy to practice in their firm? And the YATI program perhaps wasn’t as selective as it once had been. Blackhold was evidence of that.

And was that lip she was hearing? With eyebrow raised, Emily rose from her seat, but didn't move to approach him. Before she could say anything on the matter, he interjected with sentiments of his hat. Someone save her.

"Removing your hat in the presence of people is a sign of respect, wearing it, however nice you think it is, is not." Simple. Not that she was here for etiquette lessons. Didn't he have a mother for that?

Sitting back down, because her patience was wavering, Emily cracked her neck from one side to the next. Get to the point… and so he did.

For once, what he said, she agreed with. 110%

"And what do you suggest we do about that?" He must have had his thoughts if he sought her out. It wasn’t simply a matter of a letter of resignation.

Where did this woman learn her moral compass? Clearly not at the same place she did target practice. Still, he probably shouldn't make a comment. Not with the look that she was giving him. But, he was, for most accounts an honest and upfront person. "I dress nice - which includes wearing hats, mind you - for people I respect. Not a full attire without the hat."

So......there. Ahem. His manner of respect, which was questionably lacking at the moment.

As was his proper judgement. Still he hurried it along the tip of his tongue, lest the hat business get him kicked out quicker than he could divulge his business.

"Transfer me to the Hit Wizards." Right. That didn't sound quite as tactful or intellectual as it had in his head.

Forgetting for the moment that the woman could probably shoot daggers out of her eyes as well as she could fire from her wand, Rhydian shifted forward in his chair. He tented his fingers and then clasped his hands together, resting his chin on his knuckles and his elbows on his knees.

"What I mean is, I'm no good at all this investigating, sneaking-about, problem solving business. And, well, my tact is a bit rough." He'd throw her that cookie. "I am good at magic, exceptionally good on a number of accounts. Not bragging, just honest truth." Funny how similar those two sounded.

"While I may be rubbish at everything that an Auror is, I'm not afraid of dirty or gritty work. Not afraid of doing the hard, but necessary things. Actually, I'd prefer it. Makes me sound a bit off my rocker, I know, but I know I'd be good at being a Hit Wizard. You could say, I was brought up for it. I know I could take it, and make it."

It was strange that as he spoke, his tone lost some of the confidence it had, not in that it wasn't there, but it was softer. Determined and convinced, but in a simple truth sort of way. There were no bragging rights here.

"I joined the YATI so I could learn more, develop and hone my skills. But it's not where I'm best utilized. And that's what I'm here for, utilization. Use. I am capable of being that dirty tool in the back of the shed that no one talks about, but everyone knows is necessary."

Perhaps that dirty tool was kept in a prison cell? He dearly hoped not.

… it was times like these that she questioned returning to London. Everything had been going so smoothly, and she had to cast it work aside for this. YATI. Without any sense of etiquette. And she couldn't even agree with him about it being a necessity for a 'full attire', because that was pure hogwash.

In an effort to keep the boy alive, Emily pretended she didn't hear his backchat, however, she couldn't help but raise her brows at his suggestion.

Transfer him to the Hit Wizards? And why did he think he would be a better fit for the MLES?

As if on cue, Blackhold launched into what she guessed was what he considered a valid assessment of why he would make for a goof Hit Wizard. It wouldn’t have sounded half bad, if he knew anything about the role. "You do realise that Hit Wizards are not only responsible for enforcing criminal law, but they also conduct investigations and arrests?" Because, if he wasn't much of an 'investigator' in the Auror Office, how was that to change in the MLES? "And there's a fair amount of problem solving that is required of the job…" it wasn’t just magic, especially if he was after special assignments such as undercover work, internal investigations or even hostage negotiations.

Obviously, she wasn't convinced that was the right role for him either.

Ah right. That little nub of the job details. That little thing he'd glossed over in his narrow-minded determination to get where he wanted, no needed to be. No getting around it now he supposed. Wasn't like he could suck back in the air or words he had said. Cat was out of the bag, and he was never good at shoving them back in. So much for forming a good argument. It almost bubbled out that Rainey would surely have appreciated his forward candor, but this most certainly wasn't Rainey and even Rainey wasn't a sure thing.

Rhydian deflated a bit and shrugged. "It's not I couldn't do it. I'm sure I could. Just not my strongest strength, you know? If I put my mind to it..." He could do anything? Gebus, that really wouldn't go down well with the woman.

He glanced at her before shrugging again. "Hit Wizard is where I've had my mind set ever since joining the MLE's." Back in Spain. Merlin it felt like a lifetime ago. "Thought all you really needed was killer instinct and conviction."

Hey, at least if he was going to dig himself a hole, he was going to do it honestly.

Now the question was, what was she going to do with him, now that she knew?

If he put his mind to it, well that inspired confidence. "Perhaps you ought to start putting your mind to it then," she replied frankly. What good was an employee who didn't do every aspect of their job well? Her job was not about filling positions with people who met half the requirements of the job, or were 'promising'. You either had it, or you didn't, there was no halfway about it.

As Rhydian continued, speaking of his desire to be a Hit Wizard, she could feel her confidence in the boy dissipating further. Killer instinct and conviction? Was he being serious? Or was this some elaborate ruse orchestrated by a friend or foe? Had Legend payed the boy to say these things? Joshua? Sabel? While the idea wasn't farfetched, she wasn't going to bite, the YATI could keep digging his early grave if he wished.

"I trust you can appreciate we're not in the business of killing..." it seldom happened, and only in extreme and dire situations, never intended or a focus of a mission. "We're in the business of apprehending and convicting criminals, preventing crime, not killing those responsible for it, however tempting it might be to do so." Was he following?

He might have done alright in Společnost, if he wasn't so poorly behaved, lacking training, and incapable of anticipating and following direct orders with the respect and precision commanded. As it was, she didn't know what she could offer him.

"You want to be a Hit Wizard?" she asked after a moments pause. It was a rhetorical question. "Then shape up. Prove that you're as skilled and valuable as you claim to be, improve your attitude and start thinking. Or ship out."

The ball was in his court now. This was his only chance, and he was lucky to have even that.

It wasn't very often that Rhydian Blackhold lapsed into silence. When he did, it often wasn't for very long. This, was yet another first in the Blackhold book. It was silence, and it was prolonged. So much so that it probably seemed as if he had slipped off into some sort of daydream or deep, absent thought from the Department Head.

It might have looked like he had zoned out, but the truth of the matter was that he had zoned in. More than he had since deciding he'd wanted to be a Hit Wizard. Perhaps the only indication that he was paying any semblance of attention to the woman across from him, was that his gaze didn't leave her.

On the one hand, it sounded like he would have to play their game to get where he wanted. On the other hand, he was starting to wonder if he hadn't been playing to someone else's game already, all this time. Everything up until this point had been a whirlwind of passing days, emotions and actions. Nothing had really stopped him until Cambridge, and until this.

Cambridge and Browne both made him miss a beat in his own dance. Now, he was wondering if he knew it quite so well as he thought he did. The thought was rather unsettling.

After a moment, Rhydian moved mechanically forward, selecting a blank piece of paper and quill off Browne's desk, ignorant of how bad of an idea that might have been. For a few minutes he set to writing, using the edge of the desk as his prop. When he was done, he replaced the quill and handed the letter to Browne.

"I'd like to be evaluated for the rest of my year as a YATI. If you don't believe I have what it takes to make it as a Hit Wizard, I would like your dismissal or, if you prefer, my resignation as per this letter."

Not for the first time recently, she'd managed to silence the boy. How this was possible was beyond her, was she perhaps too frank with her assessment? Either way, there was a discernible difference from the Rhydian Blackhold that had first entered her office, to the one that sat in front of her now. Staring. She stared back.

The thought crossed her mind that perhaps something had snapped within him, and had he not moved in the next few second she might have summoned a Healer. As it was, he did move... and she wasn't sure what to make of it. It wasn't every day that an employee helped themselves to her stationary. How very curious.

Leaning back in her seat, Emily observed as Blackhold scrawled across her parchment. She only moved again when he was handing the parchment to her. Was this a letter of resignation? she wondered, but heard him out before glancing at it. He confirmed her suspicions.

"Then we have a deal," she accepted, deeming the negotiation fair. "And if you prove to be successful, I'll personally hand deliver you a contract for the division."

Personally hand deliver him. From no faith, to a personal reference. Either this woman really wanted him to try, really expected him to succeed, or really expected him to fail. The resignation should have been a good enough motivation for himself, so it was intriguing that she would hand him another one.

Still, Rhydian didn't argue.

Instead, he nodded once, pushed himself from his chair and turned about it to pick up his demolished hat. "You give the badge a good name."

Interesting, how he hadn't really cared about such a thing until now. Stuffing the burn remains of the hat onto his head, Rhydian gave the bosswoman a nod, and a tip of the charred brim of the hat to her, before taking his leave.

It seemed as though their business was done, and she wasn't upset for it, on the contrary... she needed a drink. As it was still business hours, she would settle for a coffee but just where was her personal assistant? Sigh. And the hat, he was going to wear that thing regardless of its condition? Emily was convinced it was destined for the bin... each to their own. At least one couldn't accuse him of being fickle.

Blackhold's comment about giving the badge a good name remained with after he took his leave, and a small smirk played on her lips. The compliment was well received, though perhaps foolishly given. What did Blackhold really know of her?

Shaking her head to extract herself from her thoughts, Emily shuffled the papers on her desk, eyeing over their contents. Now... where was she up to?

He...was uncomfortable.

This place made him uncomfortable. It had been a nice long break away from here. Quite frankly he didn't think he'd ever be back but here he was, standing before the door that was forever hazardous to his health. Maybe he should have told Emily he was coming, so she would let him have access to her office even if she wasn't in. Right now, he stood the risk of being run into by someone.........and conversed with.

Ehhhh.....no. No thanks. He didn't wanna talk to anyone, 'least of all the Touchers and Tacklers that roamed this level so he knocked--boy did he knock while praying Emily was inside otherwise this would be an uncomfortable wait and he only had so long for lunch.

Don't get her wrong, this was a job that she loved... and she did love it, perhaps more than she cared to admit, but after two years away and experiencing new management styles... the papertrail work was going to kill her. Could she not just burn it? File the ashes? She was convinced half of it wasn't necessary nor would it be checked. Of course she could lodge for a formal review of the methods to their madness, but death by paperwork somehow didn't seem the best way to conquer death by paperwork.

With a crack of her neck, Emily shoved a drawer of folders shut before securing it. She'd get to those later, and then there was a knock at her door.

A knock.

Lots of knocks.

Incessant knocking.

Wand flicking dangerously, the door flung open on its hinges. Whoever wanted in might want to reconsider doing so.

Well that just happened. Gavin watched the door bust open, stepping back ever so slightly in case there would be something flying through it shortly but when that didn't happen he let himself in.

Everything looked normal enough. He hadn't just interrupted a fight scene. No one was being hexed out for setting off the sometimes very short fuse that was his girlfriend. Or maybe he had. Huh. It had been quite a bit of knocking on his part but surely she didn't expect anything less...if only she was expecting him at all. "Funny, I thought the weather charms had gone wonky again." He quipped. Hurricane winds tearing open the door to her office. No stranger than the showers in his former office some time back.

After a brief look around the room, he turned to her with a smile. "I'm afraid I'll be kidnapping you, no matter how many files you've got loaded in that paper tray."

That was something like hello.

Head still bent over her work, a hand rubbing at her temple in an effort to soothe her frustration, Emily waited for whoever had disturbed her to announce themselves. Did they want a formal invite? Because she was too busy and not in a mood to give one right now.

...

However, some tension left her posture when she heard the voice of her visitor. Gavin. Peering up from her work, brows raised casually in question, Emily pursed her lips. "The only think that's wonky around here is my PA being MIA." Which translated to: her cup is empty. Which he was here to fix, yes? She wasn't exaggerating either. Without coffee she would prove to be a downright menace, it would be a bad day for everyone involved.

His smile was enough to take the edge off, and she may have returned something of a smile in his direction. For once she wouldn't need to be dragged from her office, she was ready for a break, he was welcome to call this progress or remark about it being his good looks influencing her... it mattered little to her. "Where are we going?" she asked, leaving her desk and folding her coat from the back of her chair over her arm.

Gavin could wait patiently for her to realize he'd been the one to interrupt her because her reaction would well be worth it. Just look at the way she was already starting to lose all that pent up agitation once it finally clicked. If nothing else, it was a nice little boost to his ego, one he hadn't gotten in over an hour--when you were as good as him at what you did, praises came naturally in the lab.

The man walked over to the desk, coming to a stop next to her and giving her a quick kiss before leaning against said desk that quite possibly could have killed him too. "Fire her then." He suggested with a casual nod. Forgive him for not seeing why this may or may not have been a hard thing to do. "If she's not working out there's not point in keeping her around. Won't make a difference." With the job, she wasn't here. Without the job, she wasn't here and Emily had the option of finding someone better.

Adding to the unemployment line bothered him zero. Inefficiency though, that bothered him to no end.

But then she was no longer at the desk. Wow. Here he thought he'd have to add at least one convincing statement detailing why she needed a break. Fancy that. Gavin eased off the desk, openly astonished by her willingness. "Doesn't matter. There'll be food, coffee--if you like--me and not this office." A winning combination right there.

After returning the brief kiss, Emily took another glance over her desk to ensure she hadn't forgotten something that was time-sensitive or particularly urgent. All would be well for the half hour. As for her PA... well, Gavin might have been onto something. "Now why haven't I thought of that?" she mused with a hint of sarcasm. But no, she wouldn't be doing such rash things yet, after all, the girl was likely still running one of her earlier errands. Merlin knew she could be demanding.

Food, coffee, him and not this office... it really did have a good ring to it, didn't it?

"Well then, lead the way," she was being 100% compliant with his plans for once, he ought to make the most of it. Placing her hand in his, she took lead out of her office because it was all she could do to get away from the bureaucracy she was piling on her desk. Out of sight, out of mind - for now. "Good morning in the lab?" she asked, making small talk - the door was locked and the wards were activated on her door without delay, they had a lunch date to get to.

A very good question that one--riddled with sarcasm or not--and all good questions deserved a response. It was only fair. "Because you've become a nice person. It pains me to be the one to tell you this but," And a dramatic pause as only he could do, "you don't send people running in the other direction when we walk anymore. I daresay some now entertain they idea they can strike up a conversation with us." Horrid, wasn't it?

Gavin allowed himself to be pulled from the office, finding it more than a little amusing he'd been invited to 'lead the way' shortly before practically being yanked along. No comments on the wards and such being replaced as they left. It'd taken everything in him to make her not go overboard with their house and even THAT was debatable.

"Brilliant morning...until they brought in this year's interns." He fell in step with her as they made their way down the hallway. Did he mention that he didn't miss this place? He did? Good.

"I think I need it to be August already." So they could go away of course.

Notepad and quill trailing behind her, Annabelle knocked on the office door three times before entering to give Emily a heads up that she was coming in. Hair color toning down to it's original color, brown, the blue eyed French liaison cleared her throat before speaking up.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you if you were working, but there has been a kidnapping down in Knockturn Alley. Two students, one was left petrified against the wall." A deep breath was needed before she continued on. "Tyler is already down there, I'm not sure if Legend had followed him or not..." Another moment passed by before Annabelle continued. "What should we do about this crime?"

Her icy blue eyes seemed a bit nervous in a way. This brought up memories of her past. The scar on her left wrist...it began itching like it normally did when in this type of situation. But she couldn't show weakness. That was unlike Annabelle. Although, the Metamorphmagus was pretty petite, she knew to never show weakness in front of your enemies or fellow workers and higher ups. It was a bad sign. To hopefully stop the itching, she casually placed her right hand over the mark, taking a patient stance waiting for the bosses reply.
