Break Room

If you're in need of a break, or maybe just in need of stretching your legs to refill your water bottle, you can find all you need in the level one break room. Sitting opposite some of the private offices, just down the corridor from the bathrooms, the Break Room is an area for employees to sit, relax and not have to think about work for once. There are plenty of chairs and tables for several employees to eat, chat and take a break.

There is a full kitchen off to the side where you can heat up food in a microwave or on the stove, a coffee machine and a tea kettle to fill up your energy levels and a fridge to keep your food chilled if need be. All necessary kitchen supplies are in the cupboards and are restocked frequently.

So, take a break for a moment, but don't dally too long! And remember to clean up after yourselves!

Morgan was laaaaaaate today because he wanted to sleep a little late. He thought he sent an owl ahead to January, but perhaps not. His memory was a failure these days. Muggle films had kept him up too late last night!

He still refused to use his office. He tried to avoid it at all costs, honestly, but today when he arrived, he went there first. Nothing of interest in there...he checked January's office and she wasn't there. Merlin. It was like a ghost town. Only there were employees littered everywhere, but whatever. Morgan P. Nickels finally checked the break room for some cheese snacks and saw her wonderful beautiful magnificent silky face! "January! There you are. I was worried you had gone missing!" he chuckled at his own joke. "Hope you're having a good morning!"

And no, he had not seen the Daily Prophet yet.

She was antsy. January was not an antsy person, but today she was. She was also mildly furious, but she was trying to keep her cool and talk to the Minister in a calm manner before coming to any conclusions and before deciding on any emotions.

Nearly jumping at the sudden arrival of the man in question, January gave the man a slight smile when he came in. Late. She hadn't seen him all morning. And he was worried SHE had gone missing? "I don't know why, sir. I'm here every day, on time." Perhaps it was something he should try - being on time. Hmm.

"I was having a good morning until I saw the paper. Please, read it." She didn't take Morgan Nickels as the kind of man that read the paper every morning, so she slid her copy of the Daily Prophet across the table to him.

Was she? Morgan was usually too busy doing minister things to notice. "Well that's a good work habit to have! I'm so glad you're my Undersecretary, Madam Bones," he boooooowed deeply and lowly, almost dramatically, like he had just performed a three-hour solo musical monologue (if anyone wanted to hear it, he would surely sing it for them!) and was taking this bow for his deeeeeeeply moving performance.

Almost everything he did was moving, surely.

He seemed surprised by her attitude, and as he picked the paper up and read the headline...then the proceeding article, he CACKLED.

"Oh January, well this is nonsensical, my lady! Come on! It's horseradish! Cadswallop! Nonsense!" He slapped the paper down on one of the counters.
