After exiting the lifts you are greeted by long, tiled corridors with identical, arched walls on either side. The closest corridor leads off into a stairwell that descends into Level 10 and the Courtrooms below. Most of the other corridors have interconnecting passages leading back into themselves. If one doesn’t work on this level you will most often find yourself confused and end up back to where you startedd; which is usually by the lift or the nearby antechamber that is the Level 9 Visitors Receiving Area.

Unspeakables eventually get used to the network of interconnecting corridors and know which arched wall is the entrance to their department. The double doors of the arched entrance do not appear until the Unspeakable (and a select staff of the Ministry) approaches with the intentions of entering. Only then does the door materialize from a blank wall, vanishing again once the person passes the threshold.

Since this level houses a highly confidential department of the Ministry the entire area has been charmed to safeguard its security. Point-Me, Alohamora, magical lock-picking penknives and most other spells and devices will not work here. Anti-apparition spells are also set in place preventing anybody apparating in or out freely. Seeing as the department head is an ex-auror there are now even more security spells in place within the department and surrounding corridors. This may just be paranoia on her behalf, but she likes the security. Only during emergency cases does the Department Head (or select staff of the Ministry) lift the protection spells around this level.

OOC: Any Ministry employee can RP in this thread. But please READ the paragraph above to be guided on how to RP your charrie accordingly.
