Samantha had the office to herself for the time being, as Professors Lupa and Kazimeriz were going with Minister Taylor to her office, and Headmaster Bontecou had gone with the three aurors. Everything seemed strangely quiet for the moment, but Samantha figured she had better enjoy it while she could. She had a feeling the office was going to be very, very busy, and that was okay with her.

"Good luck", she thought to herself, thinking of Professor Lupa and Headmaster Bontecou. She knew that the Minister would deal with both of them fairly, the rest of the wizarding world she wasn't so sure of.
