She shook the girl's hand and her face relaxed. She hadn't meant to get upset. "I am sorry too, please forgive me." This was not the time of the place to start arguing for elf rights. She looked down at the crude drawing that Lola did. She looked at the funny thing she wrote the note down on. She wanted to ask her about it, but that could wait till later. "Oh um I can take the upper levels. I don't fancy being down in the lower levels." The Department of Mysteries scared her to no end and so did the creep witches and wizards that worked down there. "One, two and three." She said making sure that was ok with Lola and Nathan.
Lola looked around, the area was deserted, save for the three of them.
"It's weird, you would think that this place would be crawling with Aurors. This is a huge security breach!" Lola said.
And really, where are the elves to clean this place. she thought to herself. She prevented herself from saying it aloud, knowing that Egypt would go berserk. Egypt indicated she would take Levels 1, 2, and 3. Lola nodded her head in agreement, she had no problems with that.
"That's fine, I'm not too keen on the lower levels either, but whatever Nathan chooses, I'll do the rest." Quote:

“I’ll go and have a word with security.” He said. “Really you would think they would have more security on this level than any other.” He shook his head – this was the main entrance to all levels within the Ministry and security were based here! He was beginning to think that the rumour was true that they spent their days sleeping and eating doughnuts. “Unbelievable.” He said under his breath.
He breathed a sigh of relief as the women’s little tiff didn’t develop into anything bigger. They shook hands and he smiled. “Good.” He said out loud.
“Alright.” He agreed to Egypt taking the upper levels. They seemed the safest. “I’ll take seven, nine and ten.” He told the women. “And I’ll speak to security while I’m at it. Could you give the Law department a kick up the bum while you’re on level two please, love?” he asked Egypt. He looked over at Lola. “You happy to take the other three levels?” he asked her. “If either one of you needs assistance. Send a patronus.” He told them. “And I’ll be there immediately.” He hated letting these two go off on their own, but it seemed they had no choice what with being the only people in the Ministry doing anything.
Lola looked around again.
"At the least security should be here. This is ridiculous!" she said, exasperated. The three of them were left to deal with this on their own. Nathan looked much more relaxed now that Egypt and her had settled their differences. It really wasn't the time to pick a fight at all.
She let out a sigh of relief when Nathan picked the lowest levels. She, like Egypt, did not want to head down there alone.
"So I'll take 4, 5, and 6 then. Perfect" Lola pulled her wand out.
"Patronus if I need you, got it. But I can handle myself well enough. " Quote:

She didn't want to drip all over the place searching for those elves. "Ok, lets get going." She had a determined look on her face and headed off toward the lifts. "Coming?" she looked back with a smirk on her face.
She stood up from her seat on the fountain and put on her shoes, which were filthy inside and out. When she got in the lift she must clean them a bit. She carefully stepping through the muck on the ground and walked with Egypt towards the lifts.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," she walked faster to catch up with Egypt. She was a little afraid, but she kept reminding herself,
They're just elves. They are just mad, little House-elves. Quote:

Lola turned back towards Nathan.
"That's a brilliant idea, Nathan. Get help!" she said loudly, then proceeded to the lifts.
