Clearly, someone in the room had been having a bit of fun at the expense of the next person to clean up - because one of the messes left behind was magically charmed to be impossible to tidy. He’d tried everything he could think of. Which admittedly, was not a lot as the former Ravenclaw’s brain seemed too filled up with the potions and his to do list. His attempts thus far had been limited to finite incantatum to try to undo whatever had been cast previously and the skurge charm.

He was so wrapped up in trying to brainstorm something else to attempt, Ev hadn’t even noticed the additional body enter the room. Not until someone was addressing him, that was. Not one to show outwardly when he was surprised (or much of any emotion on his face really - his common expression was simply ‘Evan’ as his sisters would say), the younger unspeakable turned and gave a nod of acknowledgment. “Oh, hello.” He greeted. He took a moment to try to recognize the other employee, however the face was not one he remembered seeing so he figured at the least it was not someone in his own position. Although with the Department of Mysteries what it was, he wouldn’t have been surprised to find that they were all periodically charmed to forget everyone else’s faces. “No problem. The spinning room can get so confusing, I still get mixed up after a year.” He’d seen some people be able to pick their location without having to ask for assistance - but it was not something Evan had yet perfected.

“If you go back out the door you came in, you’ll get to the Spinning Room. When you can’t figure out which door to take to your destination, you can actually say where you want to go and it’ll help you.” It was a tool often used by the other departments, but there was no shame in a regular of the area having to utilize the trick as well. Realizing he had someone else to bounce ideas off of though, Evan quickly added more before the other guy left. “Maybe you can help me out too. Do you know of any cleaning spells or anti-charm spells to try to reverse something?” He’d prefer to not have to go find someone from accidents and catastrophes for something probably miniscule.
