Now with the prospect more realistic, she started thinking of possibilities again.

"Yes, of course I hadn't expected an entire laboratory to myself," she assured him. "I wasn't sure what possibilities existed in the Department, so wasn't sure what to propose specifically. And of course, we would want to keep this within the Dept. of Mysteries." Which was why Jane had not taken any of this home with her to try to work on it there. "I had been trying to find a little-used cupboard or small storeroom somewhere that might be used, but creating a sterile section in an existing chamber is a definite possibility, one I hadn't thought of. And you see," she went on, "it's not just the risk of other environments contaminating the next stage of my work I'm worried about. The results of these next experiments might interfere with other people's work as well. And the Love Chamber, in particular, would be sensitive to contamination." For the next stage of her experiments would lead into the Black Stage of alchemy, and the Dark Night of the Soul.

And while she dealt with her own shock, he was relearning how to navigate social situations and pleasantries. Which likewise reminded him that he needed to have a chat with the muggle Minister to, uh, try and reclaim his title of Astronomer Royal considering the impostor had made sure to strip the astrophysicist of the title. And there may be a body count attached to all that as well. Airey was trying not to think too much on it.

Pursing his lips while stroking his smooth chin, he nodded while Jane spoke and tried to take a mental inventory of possible resources. "So the Love Chamber is out of the question," he took note of. Alchemy truly seemed the most fitted for the Death Chamber, considering current assignments, and something could be done with the top of the amphitheater there. That may be the simplest of solutions. The Chamber of Codes was no place for experimentation, the Time Chamber another that risked certain containments. The Thought Chamber would likely drive Jane made with the encephalons...unless she was well trained or gifted in Occlumency. "Ideally speaking then ... where would you see as being the best fitted for your needs?"
