"Hmm." The junior undersecretary muttered, exchanging a glance with the woman near the front of the lift. He shifted his potted plant to his other arm and leaned forward to hit the button for Level One again, since it had seemingly gone out, when the lift started up again with another sudden jerk. Ooof! Fletcher was pushed to the back of the lift as it took off, faster than ever. "Is-- is someone doing this on purpose?" he muttered, looking around at the others on this ride too. Was there some prankster on here? Quote:

Most of them looked somewhere between wary and scared. DING! 'Department of Magical International Cooperation' "We....that's exactly it stopped a moment ago." What was happening? She could have sworn the lift had LEFT the level and went up. "Maybe it's broken." Should they get off? That seemed like the logical thing to do, no? Conley was passing through the Lift Lobby on his way back to his department when the doors of a lift dinged. He paused to glance inside. "Fletcher?" he asked seeing the Junior Undersecretary inside the lift with a young lady. Conley glanced at the potted plant in his arms. "Unusual for you to visit. Are you moving?" He motioned to the plant.
Had the lady said something about the lifts being broken? "Broken?" he asked her. He would have addressed her by name, but Conley was quite certain he had never seen her before. In as big a place as the Ministry, that wasn't surprising. "What's broken?" he asked looking between the two as his feet remained firmly planted on the lobby ground outside of the lift. After two of his ambassadors had gotten stuck inside of one of the lift last year, Conley hadn't set foot inside of one again.
