After receiving word from Javy that the coast was clear, Piers headed down the flight of stairs and went towards the Arithmancy professor's classroom. He hadn't had much reason to visit this part of the castle, but he knew where it was. He had disillusioned himself and was walking close to the walls to avoid any students, but not many had lingered anyway. He was just being cautious.

The Charms professor crept up to the office door and quickly began working on getting past whatever locks and enchantments Lolita had placed on her entrance. It only took a couple minutes, and once he was sure he wasn't going to get attacked or set an alarm off, he opened the door and stepped inside to her office.

Good? No trip wires, no alarm sensors? Huh. Good. She wasn't as crazy as he thought.

Quickly shutting the door, Piers went through her office as fast as he could without missing anything. He went straight for her desk and shuffled through some papers, careful not to mess anything up. When he came across what looked like a journal, he flipped it open to some of the most recent pages until... Ah, last term.

And there it was. The word "chorts" stood out, clear as day, like the sweet smell of VICTORY. Piers quickly scanned his eyes over the journal pages. Lolita had been tracking the chorts movements. It didn't sound like she had brought them, but she was tracking them. AND she had been going into the forest to see them. SEE? They were right! Piers got enough information. He wanted to get out of there quickly in case Lolita didn't find the company of Cos and Javy as pleasant as they had hoped.

Piers performed a quick duplicating spell, copying all the pages she had written from the last term up until present time, just in case there was more information. He shoved the papers in his pocket and closed the journal before quickly making his way out of her office.

Now, time to talk to the Headmistress?

Walking with long, powerful strides - quick but lacking exertion, Emily Browne navigated the way to the Arithmancy Professor's office. This was made much easier with the Headmistress's office being located on the same floor - what with the ease of transportation as a result of proximity. The letter from the Headmistress herself - with the copies of incriminating evidence, in addition to the warrant for the woman's arrest, were extracted from her pocket and handed over to her accomplice. "You can do the honours," he mused to Chosen.

Stopping before the woman's office door, Emily knocked swiftly and stood back.

There was seldom a need for her presence during an arrest. Her team had that covered, but this, well this was something else. Aside from the directness of the Headmistress, and the networking opportunity, she was also able to see the woman who had taken house points from her son. Not that she particularly cared about that, but the boy did.

To be honest, Legend wasn't exactly thrilled to be back at Hogwarts again. Why would he be? Where the House Elves throwing him a large feast? No. So, not happy. The Auror's eyes flickered around the hall as he kept in pace with Emily. He refused to walk behind her like some lackey.

Even though she was his boss.

And had all the evidence and the warrant.

....Why was he here again? To look pretty? He could do that. Or...he would have been fine doing that if Emily did not hold the papers out to him. Taking the papers happily, he nodded. "Be my pleasure. Especially seeing that I am the most qualified person here." Hehe.

Turning to face the door, he stood up straight. All jokes aside now, it was time for business.

Lolita had just finished a lesson on Life Path calculations not fifteen minutes ago. It was her custom after such encounters with miscreants students to sequester herself in her office and take a few moments to clear her mind. She was in the middle of doing just that when she heard a knock on the door. Was it that Tempus child coming to bother her already? She had thought he meant more like... in a few weeks. Annoyance led to a roll of her beautiful eyes as she said, "Enter," in the most exasperated tone she could muster.

Most qualified person here? ... Ha ha, Chosen. Emily fixed him with a look, though the slight upturn of her lips communicated her amusement at his joke. Needless to say, he was right to an extent. She left the office as often as she could, but that was usually for other reasons. Arrests for her, were a thing of the past - or so she had thought. This was an excursion she could appreciate.

When the voice from within called 'enter', she gave Chosen a nod. "Ladies first," she mused, gesturing him to the door. See that? She could joke too.

He had pocketed the evidence and warrant, to free his hands just as the voice rang out. Eyes flickering to Emily he was about to get the door for her when she spoke up.

"Oh em gee Em. Why thanks." Legend flipped his imaginary locks over his shoulder, before rolling his eyes. Boss Lady had actually made a JOKE. And if it wasn't for the fact that he needed to focus on what was about to go down his mind would totally be set on the perfect comeback.

Pushing the door open Legend stepped inside the Arithmancy Professors office. He had been in the office, waaay too many times before as a kid, and of course it had changed, but at the moment the only new thing his attention was turned to was the woman on the other side of the desk. "Miss Lolita Domingo?"

Sigh. Fine. She braced herself for dealing with Tobias and got an eye roll out of the way for good measure. So when the door opened to reveal an older woman and man, she was taken aback. Since when did adults visit Hogwarts? Outside of the Board of Governors, that is.

But clearly they knew who she was. As was fitting, of course. "¿Sí?"

Emily sniggered. Oh em gee? There was no denying it, Legend Chosen really was something. The humour of the moment dissipated quickly, and her features relaxed into a neutral expression as Chosen opened the door for them. Arithmancy... what ever happened to Hadley?

Closing the door behind them, and taking up position beside her colleague, Emily observed the woman's confused expression.

Basic introductions it was then. "Thank you for seeing us. I'm Emily Browne, and this is my colleague Legend Chosen, we're from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement..." and now it was your shining moment Chosen.

Simple nod to her, as Emily spoke. They always said that looks could be deceiving. And the fact that the woman looked completely taken back did not sit well with him.

What was she an actress? An Arithmancy actress who was obsessed with mirrors and freezing people?

They were on to you.

"It has come to our knowledge Miss Domingo, that you were more than aware of the movement regarding the chorts that affected the school last year." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the journal entries of evidence, flashing them to her juuuuust out of her reach, before putting them back. Yeah, no touchy.

"Because of this, you are being placed under arrest for plotting the freezing of the school and endangering the lives of every person in this castle." Legend drew his wand as he made his way closer to the desk. "And I suggest you come with us willingly because I don't think you need a Life Path Number to see that two against one aren't good odds for you."

Magical Law Enforcement, was it? What did Anastasia do now? Or no, perhaps the new Groundskeep fellow. She always thought he looked a bit suspect.

And then.......

Oh no he didn't!

"So it is a crime to simply be aware of something bad taking place, Señor Chosen? I highly doubt even the British ministry, in all of its ineptitude, can arrest someone for knowledge they possess." She would surely be consulting with every legal counselor her Galleons could afford. No one sent Lolita Domingo to jail!

"This evidence you possess.." Had she really left her journals lying around?! A moment of panic threatened to cloud her head, but she suppressed it. That time in the staff room, she'd been talking with Culloden and Thompson: hadn't she thought she'd left her office unlocked? But she had been careful not to put more than suspicions in her notes, there couldn't be much incriminating information there. "I have no idea how you came to possess it, because I certainly have no recollection of handing it over. You have no right to be holding it." So they couldn't use it, right? She fervently hoped so.

Up until now she had been in panic mode, just trying to find a way out of this mess. But things changed when he pulled out that wand. "And I certainly don't appreciate wands being drawn and pointed at me in my own office!" He had another thing coming if he thought he could get away with that utter disrespect for such a gorgeous person as herself! No one threatened Lolita Carmen Inocencia Domingo!

Why, did people have to be so annoying?

Emily cast her eyes over the office decor, ascertaining how long the search of the premises might be. She had little to no interest in arguing with the former Arithmancy Professor, she couldn't see the woman coming back not when Truebridge was so adamant of the woman's guilt, which was evident through the journal entries. Still, for the sake of moving things along, she interjected in their little conversation - not that Chosen couldn't handle the woman himself, of course.

"Ms Domingo, you have the right to an attorney, and if you cannot afford one a public defender will be assigned to you, but there will be time to make such arrangements once we have you in holding... believe me when I say we have many questions for you, rest assured you will be heard." The woman would have her say, but in the mean time... she wanted the woman out of her sight. Loud people were especially irksome, and this one had an abrasive accent to boot.

"However, at present we have a warrant for your arrest and to search your office, so if you will kindly go with Legend Chosen we won't have any problems... wands of course are protocol, something I don't expect you to understand." She spared her colleague a look, this one was a wet fire cracker. Big mouth, but lacking bite. Was she really guilty of the crimes she's been reported for? Time would tell.

The possible soon to be ex-Professor was saying stuff. Not that Legend was really listening. Oh- did she expect him to answer her question? Well he would have but she continued talking you see. So instead his attention turned to the boss lady. "I'm pretty sure she's saying that you're inept." Considering the fact that she was indeed one of the higher figures in the Ministry. Not a good start, Domingo.

Emily started speaking then however, assuring the woman of her rights which he didn't think would do too much to calm her down.

"We currently posses the entries because you were careless." Never mind that they were copies. Ahem. It was all her own fault really. Got herself in this mess. "Also rest assured that we will attempt answer any questions of yours that we deem fit when we get to the ministry. " See how nice they could be Miss I'm A Proffesor I Must Question You All?

Any questions would be answered.

That they deemed fit. And by 'they' he meant him. And by 'any' he meant none. Withdrawing the warrant from his pocket Legend placed it on her desk. It was official, okay?

"So come on. Let's go-oh and for the time being I will also be needing your wand." And he didn't lower his own because tough luck Domingo. She should count herself lucky that Emily wanted to do the searching and not the escorting because he wasn't going to tie her up and drag her out of the room like someone else probably would have.

They were saying all of this formal mumbo jumbo meant to reassure her, but she wasn't buying it for one second. She was not just a pretty face, she was intelligent as well. She took it all in, but she wasn't saying any more than she had to. "Yes, I can assure you I will be in touch with a lawyer." The woman, she seemed sharp. This Chosen fellow.. imbecile for sure.

As for the entries, he was clearly lying. She had just checked on them this morning and found everything in order. One more strike against the little boy trying to fill his big boy shoes. Therefore, she addressed her final comment to the woman. "Fine. And I'll thank you not to let this one muck it up," she said, handing over her wand to the woman in the process. She was confident: they couldn't possibly have her papers, and nothing in there could pin this mess on her anyways. She would be reunited with her wand very soon.

And before they could force her, she got up and strode around them towards the door. "Let's get this over with."

Oh ho ho, just in time, Anastasia was just in time.... She could hear the commotion coming from the Arithmancy professor's room all the way from her stone gargoyles, but now that she was here... with her original copied copies of journal entries in hand... Annie was definitely going to watch the spectacle.

"Good to see you again, Chosen," the redhead poked into the office, not at all bothering to disguise her delight. She flicked her eyes over toward the MLE woman, Emily... she was doing a great job over there. Great job. "Browne, thank you for coming in today...." Of course.

And then there she was, en route out the door. Bunz naturally blocked Lolita's departure and spared her a glance as icy as the school had been last year. "Domingo.... I have two words for you... you're fired."

BOOM. DONE. End of story, right?

Inept.

Emily acknowledged Chosen's response with a raise of a brow. It made no difference to her. If she had a sickle for every time somebody thought or claimed MLE or herself to be inept, she would be a richer woman than she was today, there was no doubting that. There would always be critics, but there was a fine line between a legitimate criticism and blowing hot air, and differentiating the two was a waste of her time when there was work to be done.

Thankfully though, Domingo seemed to have settled down of sorts and was compliant. It was a truly beautiful thing when that happened, and she was humorous too. Didn't want that one, being Chosen, to muck it up. Yes, amusing. Still, straight-faced Emily took the wand the woman extended to her, "I'll see what I can do."

So while Chosen dealt with her, she would start the search, or she would have... but a familiar voice, and a rather high spirited one at that, graced their presence. "Not at all," she offered by way of reply. The two words Truebridge had for Domingo, were easily anticipated, so it came as no surprise when they left the woman's mouth. Fired. At least she could rest well knowing those linked to criminal behaviours would not be teaching her son - once caught out at least. This was at least a step up from when she had been a student at the school. How... progressive.

What caught her attention though, were the documents Truebridge was carrying. "Are those the originals?" she asked.

Annnnnd he cared about her lawyer becaaauuuse?

Oh. He didn't. The blond resisted the urge to roll his eyes, because at least she appeared to be cooperating. And insulting him. A small sigh left his lips, but the comment didn't really bother him at all. It only lead him to the conclusion that he did not like this woman at all. "It already belongs to you. Don't think it could get any more mucked up than it already is."

Following with his wand at the ready, his grip tightened when door opened. The mistress of Pink herself! What did he call her now anyways? Professor? Bunz? Trubridge?Anastasia?????? "Well I was your favourite student after all Headmistress." It was a love, hate type of thing. He hadn't expected her to say much to the other woman, but only two words?

Oh.

Snickering he pointed Domingo to the door again. Well now there was really no reason for her to be here, was there? "I believe your last words were 'let's get this over with?'HMMmm? So now that you had no job, they really didn't have all day.

Head turning to Emily slightly he looked between her and Bunz. "I'll get everything taken care of at the Ministry. If you're needed i'll send a message." But she probably wouldn't be needed. Her presence here to find the original journal entries that they needed was much more important.
