On his way to the employment offices, Jude stopped dead at the dark fountain to his immediate, his briefcase flying with him at his side. His mouth, which felt as though it had drop through the wooden floor, expressed his shock, surprise and horror. The stone fountain was bedecked with grotesques figures of people holding up a beautifully clad witch and wizard in dark cloaks. Jude's dark eyes shifted between the witch and wizard held aloft and the disfigured people below them a few times before finally realizing that the people holding their weight were in fact ...
"--Muggles!?" he mouthed to himself. How could they? How could the Ministry keep a thing like this in the middle of the Ministry, in its heart?
The tall dark wizard looked around to everyone else to see if they were as appalled by this display of wizard-supremacy as he was but everyone seemed to keep to their own conversations and didn't even give the fountain a second glance. It took all of Jude's discipline not to withdraw his wand and transfigure the fountain into something more suitable and tolerant before he stomped off to the employment offices, thinking less of applying for a job and more to complain to anyone who would listen to him.
