"Basically, Ben began trying to keep the tone half lighthearted, "It's been tough... running the whole MMAO single handedly, well, most of the time." Every once in a while he had help, but all the boring stuff and hard thinking work was him. "I've obviously been handling it, Barely, "But, It's been rough... And it's stressful," And boring. VERY boring. Ben had to get to the point. "What I'm trying to say is, is it possible for my Office... Me... To get some of the more bigger cases? Like the Aurors and the MLES have been getting. These small, simple cases are easy, but getting flooded with them makes it very stressful and difficult. If I can pass the some of the smaller cases on to someone else," Hoping there will be someone else, "I can focus my skills on something more substantial than cat-food that makes cats twice as big." Ben hoped he didn't sound like he was whining. I hope I don't sound like I'm whining. "I hope I don't sound like I'm whining."

...

"You sound like you're whining." Evander confirmed after listening to all that.

"You know, you can't simply wait to be handed a case anymore, Ben." Evander said. "I pass on what I can, when I get wind of it, when the other divisions come across Muggle Artefact Misuse, but the funny thing about illegal activities is that they don't tend to report themselves." Van summoned a file and looked through it. "My records show that the last inspection in Wizarding shops was eight months ago, for permitting and the like, to ensure that muggle-type items being sold with charms and such are legit. Perhaps it is time to arrange another inspection, starting in Diagon Alley." Evander didn't mention Knockturn. "Naturally an inventory of items available needs to be made for our records." Van placed the file flat on the desk in front of him and slid it across to Ben.

"Also I think it may be a good idea to touch base with the Portkey Office," Evander managed to keep the distaste from his voice. Transportation had gone downhill with a known cultist leading them, but perhaps.... perhaps a legitimate visit like this one might be a good cover to find out more. "I know you were a detective, so perhaps you might undertake that yourself. You're aware of the cult. You must have noticed... certain departments received monetary bonuses for the last quarter?" It may not have been common knowledge, but it was pretty clear who was being rewarded and why. "Transportation is one of these departments. Perhaps you could... keep your ear to the ground?" And the unspoken request was to report back to Evander if he discovered anything.

"I'm aware your division is short staffed at the moment, but I don't wish to saddle you with ineffectual types. If you need more manpower, speak with Ryan, Gabe or Damien, they may have a body or two to spare. Dorian will have his hands full soon enough, and as soon as I get the chance I shall have you and he in here for a quick meeting, since what is brewing may just involved both of your divisions." And was a completely different issue to what the Aurors and MLES offices were looking into.

Exhausting, it was.

Polite, that one. Evander approved.

Hmm?

Van opened the door.

"Come in." He recognized the woman from the picture on her file. "Olivia Black isn't it? You'll need to report to Ryan Chambers. Down the corridor, and past the evidence room. I'm not sure that he's in right now, but that is where your desk is, so you should settle in and wait for him."

ooc: Lara_the_Firelady is your division head

But go play in that thread and get to know a few others. They're epic, I promise. I'm sending Olivia on because of this next post here will mean Evander has to leave.

Following his point, he nodded his head to indicate he was following. Then, looking at him again, he listened intently and got up to his feet at last when he was finished.

"No, Mr. Bole. Thank you," he said, reaching out to shake his hand. Then he turned and left the room to the working area.

Van shook Enrique's hand and watched him go.

The meeting will commence immediately in Courtroom 10 on the tenth level of the Ministry of Magic. Please be on time and bring with you all ideas and responses to the recent memo regarding the rejuvenating of our spirits and the oxygenating of our halls.

Van looked up to see an interdepartmental memo and frowned. Those weren't ever fun, not lately at least.

He summoned the thing and opened it.

His frown deepened into a glower.

... immediately?

IMMEDIATELY?

Be on time?

Be on time IMMEDIATELY???

The nerve of that... Evander swore profusely, creatively and alarmingly, worse than a sailor.

And in HIS courtrooms?

Van stood up and ushered Olivia, the new employee, out of his office, pointing out the direction she needed to go in again.

"DAMIEN?! GABRIEL?!" Van sent a rather incensed Mountain Lion Patronus stalking off to summon the Head Auror and Head of Security. "MEET ME AT THE DIRECT FLOOS RIGHT AWAY!"

Evander stalked off to the floos, locking his office behind him.
