Registering the hand holding from Edward, Ainsley was forced to meet his eyes. "I'm fine." she said and hoped that her face didn't give her away. Interviewing people and getting stories was her thing. While being on the scene of a juicy story was nice, she didn't particularly enjoy being in the middle of a death threat and in the dark. She squeezed his hand in an attempt to show him that she would make it through this one step at a time.

"We are almost there." Well, almost to the Ms. Browne's office and that was a start. For some reason she thought that she would feel better once she was on the law department level. Surely they would be able to think on their toes if some creature or boogeyman decided to pop out at them.

He could hear voices and footsteps from nearby and turned around a corner. Two ladies and one wizard. One of them he recognized as his department colleague, what was her name again? He approached the three cautiously.

Lawrence just caught what the other woman was saying. "Hello, do you mind if I join you?" Hopefully not. "Excuse me? What did what?" Something horrible happened?

Ainsley turned as she heard a new voice float down to her and smiled at the newcomer. "Hello there." He wanted to join them? Well, that was just fine in her book. Safety in numbers yes? "Please do." This would work out better. Now they could both have pairs and watch each other's backs more effectively.

He didn't know? "Well the ministry is in disarray." she said while holding out her arm, showing off the room around her. "We just received this." Ainsley pointed at the letter and let the man have a look. "We're heading to see Ms. Browne now before we make our way to Games and Sports." All filled in there? They needed to keep moving.

She sighed, her brain trying to process all the possibilities. She was adept in Defense, but Astronomy and Charms were her stronger points; there was a reason she didn't pursue law enforcement. This sort of detective work was just foreign for her. "What do you guys think might have done this?"

True points, Alex made true points. "Valid point. Now with this gentleman joining us perhaps we can pair up." Did that make sense? "Stay together of course, but we can have two guarding the front and two guarding the back." That way they had every angle covered, and between the 4 of them they would hopefully be able to take on an attacker. They definitely should be on guard.

"I really don't know. A creature of some kind looks like it tore it's way through here, but there has to be a wizard behind it." Surely a wizard didn't go and leave bite marks on the furniture. That would be scarier to face than some sort of creature in her opinion. "Who would care so much about Quidditch though?" She wondered out loud. It just didn't make sense. "It seems like such a silly thing to threaten death over." Maybe a disgruntled ex-quidditch professor at Hogwarts or something?
