She saw him looking at the wall with that look on his face. It was that look he would get on his face when he was onto something.
Wand at the ready she moved toward the desk with the glowing coffee mug,"I'd get my wand out too, just in case."she muttered to the division head.
As she moved she noticed a quill glowing as well on the same desk, which over by the south corner of the room. "I wonder who sits here."
Dacs noticed the quill and the mug, too. As they both started to move in the same direction, towards the back of the room, Dacs said something blatantly obvious.
"Trust my instincts? Yeah, it's not like I've been a certified detective for 5 years, earned a degree in criminology, have been division head in two seperate ministries, or anything silly like that. Thanks for the tip, Dacs." Ben shook his head and let out a laugh at his gigantic sarcasm he just pulled out. He reached the wall.
Normally, the spell Dacs casted would reveal any secrets... But the wall doesn't have a clue...
"Fascinating... Well, Ben said out loud.
"This wall isn't a bug, or a one way viewing screen, or a notification system of sorts..." Ben paused for a moment.
"...Which doesn't say anything about the mug or the quill. Which, by the way," Ben turned to Dacs,
"You might want to cast muffliato while we work this out..." The man took a step back and then got an idea....
He pointed his wand at the wall and waved it, casting the
Disillusionment Charm. The section of glowing wall had become nearly invisible. And behind it... Was a dark flight of stairs going up... And another going down.
"Oh... brilliant..." He looked over at Dacs with a grin on his face.
"This is amazing... A hidden stairway. And I BET you it goes to every floor." He put his arms out towards the wall and exclaimed,
"This is what I would have done!" He waited for Dacs before continuing with his discovery.
