Smiling she walked over to the now growing pile of wood that Melanie was sorting through.Sifting through a few of the pieces,Olivia "hhmmm-ed" and bit her bottom lip. "Yeah some of this is too far gone,I'd say.I may be able to do something with the broken bits,magical glue,some sanding,but the charred bits.....Hmmm." Bending down she gathered up a seat of a chair and six pieces of wood that used to be the legs.Moving to an open space of the office she laid them out trying to get a picture of what it originally looked like.
Mel laughed
" The muggle part of you likes big work!". She felt good talking to Olivia, it made her ease up her bad mood.
" I can't believe an exploding flowerpot has been the most eccentric, I thought these departments had all kinds of mess... seriously, this one in particular !" Mel continued sorting the pieces of wood, but it was getting harder, the pieces were getting rather small and difficult to guess to what they belonged..
" I understand what you mean, I can't figure out if this is a chair, a table or even a piece of wooden floor" she had a eyebrow raised at the piece and looked at it with a certain disbelief in her eyes.

"Mr Cobbleston? Nice to meet you,Sir.Yes Melanie showed me the way,and explained what she knew.I thought I'd get started,with a little help," she smiled,gesturing to Melanie. "You're more than welcome to help if you wish.We were sorting through the furniture,and I was just about to start re-building that chair," she said,pointing to the pieces she had laid out. "First I have to pop back to the supply room on level eight and pick up some more cleaning potion.The scorch marks on the floor took up most of it,and I still have the walls to go.Would you excuse me for a moment?"
Nodding her head to both of them,Olivia shot out the room and off towards the lift as quickly as she could.

Melanie heard Olivia speaking and looked back as well, brushing some hair off of her face. Mr. Cobbleston had arrived, she gave him a head nod, to acknowledge his presence and hear to Olivia speaking.
"Sure sure" she said to her as she hurried outside of the office to get some more potion.
" This looks much better than when I got here at first" she said to Mr. Cobbleston
" was it a rather big explosion?" she asked him, getting up.
