"Are you my employee?" he asked. Upon further examination he saw that he was definitely not. "Ben Cobblesten--Department head," he said with a grin, holding out a hand for a shake. He looked around at the corridor and sighed.
"I agree, this was completely uncalled for--I'm curious to how they even GOT in here in the first place," he mumbled to himself.
Craig took the man's hand and felt like he could almost break it because he was so upset.
"No, I'm the Division Head of the Floo Network. I was just checking on Melanie, to see how she was feeling, when this..." with a sound of disgust,
"...fiasco happened." He tried to calm himself down and closed his eyes a bit and took a deep breath.
"I'm so sorry for overreacting a bit, just protective and all giving Melanie's...," cough,
"...condition." Quote:

When she saw Ben walking in their direction she wished she could melt into the wall, and disappear. As always he was a gentleman. She greeted him in a small voice " Hi Ben.... what a crazy day hãn?" she joked looking nervously at Craig and sending him a shut-your-mouth-look. She didn't want him to argue with her boss.
"Yes I wonder how they got it, you know we didn't destroy them, they just ran away through the elevator..."
Craig turned to Melanie.
"I'm sorry, I'm just concerned for your well-being." He emphasized the word your because he really meant both her and their child.
"I know you are perfectly capable of handling any situation you put your mind or magic too." He was still gritting his teeth, but he could feel the rush of fury leave his face.
"I just think that things like this is pretty preposterous that something of this magnitude," he gently put his arm around her waist once more,
"And dangerous could possibly make its way into the Ministry. Perhaps security needs to be tightened?"
