Patents Research Laboratory

This part of the department isn't an office; it was a working laboratory for the Patents Research Lab employees. Upon entrance, you will see employees working with inventions. They are there to examine new inventions made by Witches and Warlocks. If one of these inventions contain anything not permitted by the Ministry, then these employees keep an eye on these. Handle with proper care and observe safety precautions and measures. In short, keep your mind straight and focus.

Ryan walked into the Lab he had no idea what he was suppost to do first, but well maybe someone else would come and tell him soon, he looked around the Lab, there were loads of great things in the room, but Ryan wasn't going to touch anything until he knew what he should touch, he didn't want to cause a mess on his first day, He was hoping that someone would come and tell him what he had to do.

Ryan had been looking at the memo and hadn't heard the man walked in, so when he talked Ryan nearly jumped out of his skin but he just shook hands with the man and smiled. "Nice to meet you Adam, I'm Ryan Smith." He had just stopped looking at the memo. "I guess we are."

Ryan looked at Adam and then at the work they had too do. "I guess we should get started." Ryan had no idea which too start with. "I don't know which to start with first the Camouflage broom or the Flying sneakers."

Ryan looked at Adam and smiled. "It's okay, it was my fault really I wasn't thinking, you should always know what's around you, just incase and I was too busy thinking about where this broom that no one can find is." Ryan laughed, he had always been taught that keeping an eye on your surrounding was the best way too stay alive.

Ryan smiled as he read the memo well it was the first thing on the list and so it did make sence. "Yeah I think that would be the best thing too do." Ryan went over too a broom and pick it up. "So the Camouflage broom needed to be tested." Ryan looked at the room he didn't see where he could fly it. "Should we see if it works? And see if we can keep an eye on this one we don't want it going missing like the last one." Ryan looked at Adam. "What do you think?"

Grinning a little, Adam surveyed the office around him, as if waiting for a sign to appear and indicate the location of the missing Broomstick. It didn't, however, and Adam shrugged. "I guess at some point we will come across it," he said with a smile. "Although when, I'm not too sure." Personally, the thought of being on a broom made him shudder, so the longer it stayed 'camouflaged', the better.

Unless he tripped over it.

But back to the task at hand. Which, coincidentally, was the non-elusive flying brooms, yet to be thouroughly tested. "Well, the ceiling's high," he pondered, glancing up. "So I guess if you wanted to test it's flying abilities, we could - although we'd have to be careful." At least, Ryan would - part of Ad hoped that he didn't mind flying, so that he himself wouldn't have to get on the broom. Pulling his wand out of his holster, he flicked it, and from one of the many shelves came soaring a length of thick, bright red string. "If we tie this around the broom," he explained, proceeding to do so, "We shouldn't lose it." At least, he hoped - did the way the broom camouflaged effect objects touching it?

Sorry kay was ill then had problems with my laptop. :(
 

Ryan looked up and saw the boss. "We were just about to test it, if you want to stay and watch." He took the broom in his hand. "We are going to see if when the broom Camouflages itself if the string is affected or not." Ryan smiled at Rex and Adam. "That way if it isn't affected we at least know where the broom is at all times and that should mean we won't lose it." Ryan looked at Rex and waited to see if he wanted to ask anymore questions before they started.

Blake walked into the laboratory with the box of quaffles in his hands. So this was going to be fun. He saw a few of his fellow colleagues working on some things and said a quick hello. "'Lo. I'm going to be working in one of the testing rooms if that's alright." He smiled as he made his way to one of the empty testing rooms. He quickly ripped the box open and placed the four different quaffles in front of him. They were are relatively the same size, but the appearance was quite different. Sure enough just like Rex had said they were all made out of different material.

He held up the first quaffle in his hand and tossed it up into the air and caught it when it came down. It felt pretty heavy compared to most quaffles he's worked with in the past and he was a chaser so that's saying something. Just like Rex had instructed he began to toss it some more and threw it around. Everything seemed okay except for the weight. Then he threw it at the wall and watched it come back towards him. Now to jump on it.

It wasn't an easy task, jumping on a ball, but he managed to do it and stay in one peice. He didn't slip off which meant that it wasn't too slippery. The grip felt good when he was throwing it around. Now to write down all of the results before moving on to the next quaffle. One down three more to go.

Now to move on to the second ball. This one looked nice and didn't feel heavy at all when he picked it up. Although when he tried to hold it in one hand it slowly started slipping until it fell. The ball felt a bit too smooth and that is never good. Although he immediately found these flaws he did as instructed and threw it around a bit. The ball proved to be very hard to catch because it would just ball out of his hands when he tried to catch it. Then he threw it at the wall and it seemed to be normal then. Now the one last bit is to jump on it and--

OW. Note to self, next time don't fall. Blake massaged his neck as he gave the ball an angry look. "Stupid quaffle." His feet just slipped right off it. He's talking to a ball... Blake was sure the fall had done something to his head at this point. Shaking it off he looked at his empty peice of parchment and wrote:

Blake quickly put the second quaffle in the corner and gave one last dirty look before moving on to the next quaffle. He threw this one in the air again and sighed after a few times. The texture wasn't too smooth or too rough. It was easy to grip and the weight wasn't shifty at all. He threw it at the wall and nodded his head satisfied when it came back. After jumping on it he decided that this one was his favorite and that he was going to name it Phill. "I'm not going to put you in that corner with the rest of the awful Quaffles Phill. You are special and my officially favorite out of the three I've tested."

With his new contentment after that last ball Blake walked over and picked up the next one happily. Although this one was made out of a different material the third quaffle looked pretty similar in appearance. Blake felt this was another lucky one. He tossed it back and forth from his left hand to his right and raised an eyebrow. It was a bit too rough of a texture. Then he also realized it was a bit too light. Quite the opposite from the first Quaffle. He continued to throw it around and hit it against the wall a few times before jumping on it.

He packed the balls back into the box and walked out of the testing room. He waved again to his colleagues and made his way back to his own cubicle.

Ryan looked at Adam. "Right I think we are ready." He smiled and was just about to try the broom when he thought of something. "Who should ride it?" He had forgotten to see if Adam wanted a go. "I think we both should that way we can see if the same thing happens, I can go first then you can have ago and see if anything different happens.

Fiske walked into the lab getting ready to test some camoflage brooms. He loved working in the patents office you never know what you are going to find in the office be tested or what could happen with all of this being magical inventions. He sees that there is one broom missing and makes a mental note to watch his step. Fiske also noticed that flying sneakers needed to be tested as well. He immediatly got to work.

A memo in the shape of a paper airplane zoomed into the laboratory and immediately multiplied into several fliers that landed neatly in front of each employee.
