"Hello indeed," came the department head's voice as he emerged down the corridor from the young woman. Perusing this part of the Ministry was a part of Airey's daily routine as was mandated by the rules of spending time OUT of the Department of Mysteries so that all the experimental magic and other auras did not cause...certain magical mutations within its employees. It was all terribly confidential and complicated but under control, nothing to see here.
He, of course recognized the young woman...though her name escaped him at the moment. Particularly when he noticed that the alcove was opened. "Sweet...solstice..." he gasped as he moved by her, the stank smell coming from beyond the pitch blackness making him gag and recoil. The traces and smell of fresh blood were, likewise, immediately noted now thanks to his proximity and his brilliant blue eyes darted from stone to young woman...though she showed no traced of injury.
"...you did not open this..." It was a statement laced with a rhetorical question. Surely...surely no one had just gone marching down there without alerting someone else and calling for backup...and surely none of HIS employees were daft enough to have gone down somewhere this deep in the Ministry without alerting him. "Have you seen anyone else?" he inquired while patting his enchanted breast pocket for his wand.
