Gid went to open his mouth to reply to Cynthia when Layla spoke up and he looked up in time to see the receptionist hurry off again. That girl did tend to hide and listen in on conversations didn't she? He'd caught it on his phone enough times to realize that! Shaking his head he looked back to Cynthia and pulled a face "Well the team that went down there and tried apparently got drenched by the toilets. It's not letting anyone in, that way either. So far, anything that we've tried has not worked. Apparition and portkeys take us to random locations, you floo into walls, and the toilets get you wet."

Merlin, he really wasn't all that excited about trying any of those anytime soon!

"Okay", she took mental note of that. She was still going to go to the usual Ministry entrances, just to see it for herself. Maybe impervius will work for that, Cynthia thought. This was just so hard.

Why wasn't the Ministry working? She couldn't grasp it. What was the matter in the country? It seemed that every year, there was some weird problem or another.
