Transportation: The Office of Cale Markus Newell [Former Boat Foreman's Office]
Abandoned Boatyard at Lot's AitThe Department of Magical Transportation needs lots of space for all their many projects. Hopefully these old buildings are safe from prying Muggle eyes.
The Office of Cale Markus Newell [Former Boat Foreman's Office]
The Office of Cale Markus Newell, Department Head
The first thing you notice when you enter the old foreman's office is that it smells like fish. Well, the whole place smells like fish so I don't know what to tell you - deal with it. He's got an apple cinnamon air freshener but it's not really doing much. Cale is pretty good at transfiguration though, so he was able to duplicate his office and many of the things in it that he lost so it still looks the same. There's a frame heart shaped picture of Cale and his wife, Anna, and another of his kids in their Slytherin uniforms. Despite his Slytherin kids, there's a few Gryffindor banners and posters along the walls, showing his Lion Pride despite his graduation years ago.
There are two big fluffy armchairs, and a few other small, wooden chairs in case those fluffy chairs aren't really your cup of tea. There's a nice IN and OUT paper tray for sending and receiving memos to keep things organized, but if you need to speak to Cale, have a seat and he'll be with you shortly!

CALE MARKUS NEWELL!!!
He was DONE FOR. When Anna finally caught sight of her husband, she was going to give him her two knuts and a whole lot of galleons to go with it! She bypassed the waiting area, because...the Department Head was her husband. She thought it was somewhat unnecessary for her to stand in the reception area--which, by the way, looked pretty deserted.
Reaching his office, she decided to at least knock and give him that respect. Somebody could be meeting with him, after all.

*knock, knock, knock*
Ah, his first visitor in his new office! Cale had been sitting comfortably at his desk, feet propped up on the edge as he read the latest issue of the Prophet. No news yet on anyone getting into the Ministry. Ugh. How much longer would this last?
He stood up and straightened out his suit by brushing it off. "Come in!" he called, wiping the bit of dirt from his shoes off his desk. Just in case it was the Minister or something.

Come in? COME IN?! That was all he had to say? Anna raised her wand and flung the door open so quickly that it banged against the wall. "CALE MARKUS NEWELL!" she exclaimed. Oh, yeah. The wife was mad. Furious, even. "Did you have to pick this place of all the abandoned places in London?! I can barely walk in here it stinks so badly, and you'll come home smelling like a fish. Eww. It'd take WAY too many charms to get the smell off his clothes each and every day.
AHEM.
"Anyway, I came to have lunch with you, but...if we have to eat here, the deal's off," she said, her nose wrinkled all thanks to the stench in his office. Then suddenly that stench got WAY too overpowering, and Anna felt her stomach do a somersault. "Uhh..." Yeah, that was all that came out. Word-wise, that is. What else that came out was vomit--and a whole lot of it--all at Cale Newell's feet.

"I won't come home smelling like fish! And I put an air freshener in," Cale added, pointing to the apple cinnamon air freshener in the corner that wasn't even really making a dent in the terrible smell. "I'll charm my stuff so it doesn't retain the smell, ok?" he added, walking up to her and kissing her on the cheek. "Promise. This was a fantastic place for Transportation to come, I couldn't pass it up! We can still do apparition here, and test out portkeys, and..."
He never got to finish his sentence because at that moment, Anna opened her mouth and instead of words, out come VOMIT. All over his nice new shoes! He blinked, unable to comprehend what exactly had just happened for a moment or two. What the WHAT? It didn't smell THAT bad in here!
"Eww gross! I mean, are you ok?" he asked, remembering that he should PROBABLY be more upset about his wife getting sick for apparently no reason than his shoes. Those he could quickly clean with Scourgify.
Which is exactly what he did a moment later.

"News flash, Cale. Unless your scent of choice is dead fish, then you can't even smell your air freshener," she said, further annoyed. She couldn't even pinpoint why, exactly, she was so annoyed at him, but she was. She sighed. "Fine, you'll use charms, but in the future, you come to me in Law Enforcement for lunch dates instead of me coming to you. I'm assuming you know we're underground?"
She sighed again. "I don't know. I guess I am. I mean, it's probably just the nasty smell of this disgusting office. Have you had many others vomit at your feet?" she replied.
"Oh, by the way, Emily," she said, because Anna couldn't possibly call her Miss Browne seeing as the woman was so much younger, "said to mention apparition zones to you." Anna flicked out her wand and began cleaning her clothes and the floor beneath her.

"Ow, barracuda! Someone isn't in the best of moods today," Cale said, wrinkling his eyebrows. His wife wasn't usually this - what was the word - CRITICAL of his office. That smell must REALLY be driving her insane, as evidenced by her throwing up.
"No, no one has puked. Just complained a bit," he told her. Yeah, so she should do him a favor and give him a break! He heard it from his employees, he didn't need it from her either. "And fine, lunch at your place sounds good. Underground where?" he asked.
"Oh, of course! I can come over or send someone over, whatever she'd like," he said. He figured they'd be pretty busy with this whole displaced Ministry thing, figuring out where safe places for apparition would be and what places needed to be blocked off so muggles didn't accidentally witness something they shouldn't...

Anna frowned. "I'm sorry, Cale. I think the sudden transition from nice office to filthy underground has gotten the best of me," she said. They were clean now, so she stepped forward and hugged him. Pretty soon, a slight sniffing sound could be heard. She was now crying. "You're just so good to me." She moved her head back just far enough to see his face. "Are you okay?" She hadn't hurt such a good man, had she?
So no one else had puked? Huh. "Well, maybe they're just busy and haven't had time to really get in here and smell things," she mused. She was just rambling trying to come up with an excuse as to why she had been the only one. She sniffed again and wiped a tear away. She smiled when he agreed to lunch. "Northern part of the London underground. Abandoned parts, of course."
She nodded when he agreed to the apparition zones. "Mmhmm, so...what's for lunch? I'm starving," she said. She wasn't worried about apparition zones anymore.
