"Very well" she said smiling and placing the form on the C folder and putting it on a drawer, her smile broke a little when Calla correctly guessed what she was talking about " Yes the Quidditch Cup.. I was hoping you didn't know about that, so I could make a huge drama out of it.. but well " she shrugged and took a flyer from another drawer, it was something she had been making to give her employees, except that she didn't had any until very recently, she placed it on the table and began explaining it's contents to Calla.

"So, here we have: Come up with a spell that makes the field safer for players; report to the stadium around the same time as invisibility task force arrives; make the area safer for children and adults; from all these taskes, the one we must concentrate harder, because we have a dead line it the first one " she took a deep breath " we have to develop safety spells so players who fall off of their brooms won't get injured and the due date is...." she drummed her fingers on the table " October 13th, that's when I have to hand the assignment to my supervisor, Ben, so It would be grat if we could finish it before that date.."

She smiled at Calla, hoping not to be throwing too much information at her " Anything can be useful, a magic mattress, a trampoline spell... shoot up all your ideas, I'm here to brainstorm with you" she said pulling a white sheet, getting ready to write down some ideas.

"So far, I did a little brainstorming with my friend from the Invisibility task force, Dora and we came up with.. invisible gigantic pillow; cushioning charm; larger spongify; pillowfy... but we also have to worry about the playability, the game must not, under any circumstances be influenced by out protective spells... ideas?"

Calla seemed to deflate Melanie’s excitement, and instantly felt the pit of her stomach sink. She did not mean to do this, and she would be mindful not to do it again.

Melanie was giving Calla information as quickly as she could take it in, and Calla enjoyed it. She liked digging and getting to the meat of the situation. It averted her thoughts from other, pressing matters in her private life. Calla’s mind started reeling. “Yes, I can see where an invisible pillow would work, cushioning charm is an excellent idea… yes,” she nodded, “the first thing that comes to mind is actually making the field a gelatin like substance – soft enough to land on, but it is not bouncy. It would significantly cushion the fall.” Calla continued to think, with the end of her finger tip in her mouth, she had a bad habit of chewing on her nails.

Calla continued, “Something soft, pliable, bouncy even?,” she was questioning her own ideas, her mind was spinning. Her voice trailed off. She took notice of some of the other persons in the room; they must be part of the Invisibility Task Force. Maybe later she could meet them. Her mind wondered to her family. Her brother, Merritt, had over the past weeks become a real handful for mum and dad. He was 17, finishing his last year at Hogwarts. Her mum was doing well, but her father was aging and not gracefully either. Calla was a daddy’s girl and couldn’t stand to think of him dying, which was looking extremely certain that it would happen sooner than later, her eyes started to fill up. Suddenly she realized where she was and nearly shouting by accident, trying to regain her composure said, “OR MAYBE,” she calmed her voice and cleared her throat, “… maybe a sort of wind force that swirls on the bottom the field that would keep the players from plummeting to the ground. A repelling charm set 6” or 10” above ground level might do the trick.” Calla rolled the thoughts over again in her swelling brain. “Whatever the Ministry decides to do, I would suggest picking 2 or 3 that will work nicely together. As a safe guard.”

Calla caught Melanie’s eyes, she wanted to ask about her family and get to know her a little bit better, but dared not ask. That has always held Calla back. She never wanted to make someone feel like she was nosey or intrusive. She never had any friends in school, what some might call a loner. Her mind swirled once again, and started an internal argument with herself, “that’s why you have no friends, take a chance, what’s the harm?” She silently answered herself, “well I suppose there isn’t any, and it would be nice to have a friend.” She agreed with herself, “Yes, it most certainly would.” Calla spoke softly, as she was in uncharted territory, “So, I don’t mean to be nosy, but where are you from? Are you married? Do you have any siblings?” She was spitting out questions with rapid fire. Instantly she turned pink in the cheeks and was embarrassed. Her talent was not Social Skills, infact, if it had been on her O.W.L.'s she would have received a T.
