BAH! Alex heard the shouts and what sounding like a DOG snarling. Who had a PET in the MoM? ODD PEOPLE, THEY WERE. He was running like the wind as he came into the Level Nine Corridor and skidded to a halt... up or down? Hmmm. He needed to get out of there somehow.

With his wand held at the ready he slowed a bit, thinking surely no one would catch him here. Not this soon.
