"I am so sorry Noah just hang in there" She then busied around once again collecting all the items. "Weeelll Im pretty sure we now know what caused the objects to come to life" she then placed them all back in the box and taped it shut writing the Piertotum Locomotor spell on the lid with a warning of

around this box

Noah nodded in agreement and approval as he read the label Catlin and plastered to the box. He sipped at his coffee a bit, which was now starting to get a bit cold, and was WAYYY too sweet. The whole experience was interesting, if not a bit entertaining.

He wagged a finger at the evil box of evil things filled with evilness inside the evil things inside the evil box. Well, at least they figured out what caused this whole chaos in the first place. He glanced over at Becky to see what she thought, but made sure not to look directly at her. He didn't need anyone's approval, no sir.

But it would help if he had his voice back.

Becca glanced at Noah and then smiled softly. Pointing her wand at him quickly, she mumbled the counter spell and nodded to him before looking back over at Catlin "Well, now you've done that... You and Noah need to finish up this paperwork" Becca smiled and handed over a couple of pieces of paper "Copies" she nodded and then turned to the box. She tapped it smartly with her wand and then nodded as it sealed itself properly "All done" she smiled.

Catlin sighed with relief when Becca returned Noahs voice she then took the paper off Becky and took them to her desk
"Erm can i go for another coffee first? I will sit with it in the breakroom so i dont bring it in here" She laughed looking in the direction of her boss

Becca nodded "Sure..." she beam she grinneded as Catlin said she'd go to the breakroom and sit with her coffee "Thanks.." she smiled. "That's really considerate" Becca grinned and then turned to her office door "Gosh! Dylan!" Becca grinned at the tower of blocks he'd made "That's awesome, mate!"

"Its okay, i wont be long" With that Catlin turned and headed for the break room

Noah beamed, having gotten his voice back. "Thanks a bunch, Mrs. Lee Becky." he grinned. Ahh, even though he had only lost his voice for a total of about ten minutes, it was such a relief to finally talk!
He took the pile of paperwork and skimmed through it. Well, this was certainly easier than chasing around cursed objects at any rate...

Nodding at Catlin, Becca smiled. "No problem, Noah" Becca nodded to him and then glanced around the room. A job well done! "Well done, Noah" she praised him and then glanced at the door. Catlin would get her praise when she came back.

Smiling As she picked up Dylan.She looked back up as she stood up.But now...Everyone knows.So Theres no need to ask after you.You know it makes my life soooo much easier.And then I have more time to go for ice cream and talk to Addie and Wi- Doesn't matter. she beamed.

She grinned at Alicia and then looked around "I need everyone's attention!" she called out and smiled around at everyone "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to leave you all. I'm moving to a new job tomorrow. I have to love you and leave you" she winked at everyone "You're all AMAZING! And I'll be sure to check up on you all" she grinned "I'm afraid y'all can't visit me though." she smiled a little sadly "Anyway, as Alicia mentioned a party, I have a small present for you all" Becca waved her wand and a bottle of firewhiskey appeared on each desk "Remember, I'm always gonna be around..." she nodded.

Suddenly the smile dropped from Alicia's face.Leaving them ? What ?! No.She couldn't.She was obviously playing one of those pranks,But Becca wouldn't do that.She was wayy to mature.Blinking she looked down at the floor,without a word.

Becca walked over to Alicia and put an arm around her "'Licia?" she spoke softly "I know... but it's my dream job... I had to take it..." she kept speaking softly to her in a kind way.

Her name.Someone was saying her name.Looking up she smiled at Becca,Putting on a brave face,For Becca's sake.What ? Oh yeah,I know,I understand. she smiled.

"'Licia.. I'll still be around... just not around here..." Becca smiled and then pointed at Dylan "I have something for you too!" she gasped playfully and then produced a toy car from thin air and gave it to him "Magic!" she grinned at him before turning to Alicia again "Keep in contact 'Licia"

Smiling suddenly feeling a bit better she beamed. I knoow.I knoow.Ill make sure to come visit. she smiled petting Dylan.Dont let him know I can do that,He'll want stuff all the time. she shook her head.Of corse.

Catlin was just returning to the office when she heard her friends announcement This cant be haappening she thought to herself, why hadnt her friend mentioned it before. Not wantning to sound childish by telling Becca that she couldnt go she simply smiled and said "Congratulations sweetie, i hope you enjoy it"

"'Licia... you can't" Becca sighed "I'm gonna be in Mysteries. I'm basically gonna be the head unspeakable" she smiled a little and then giggled at Dylan "No, it's special. Only Becca can do it" she grinned and nodded "I'll be around though"

"Thanks Catlin" Becca turned to her and waved for her to come over "C'mere" she grinned "Gosh, I feel like I'm leaving my family" she shook her head with a small smile "That's what you lot are! My other family" she looked around.

I know that,Silly.I meant your house.Even though Im not sure where you live. she giggled.I learned of the unspeakable,When I saw Kris and Addie in the cafe. she smirked.They were totally so cute together.Yup.Thats right.

"Mmmm, remember that castle where I got married?" Becca smiled "That's my home" she nodded "So you do know where I live" Becca nodded.

Catlin was deep in thought doing her paperwork when a letter landed on her desk, thinking it was nothing she continued to finish her work.
Once she had finished it all and tidied up she finally opened her mail, turning it over in her hands she saw the Ministry's mark, could this be the letter she had been waiting for...grabbing her letter opener she sliced the top open and slid out the parchment inside. Her heart seemed to stop as she read the first line

Quote:

Dear Miss Scuto I am pleased to inform you that you have been chosen to be the new division head for the Office of Counterfeit Magic & Equipment Control. It was a very tough decision so I hope to see you soon.

Before she even read anymore she was on her feet and jumping up and down
"Oh my god!! I got the job!"
She spun on the spot a couple of times and dashed out of the office, straight towards Syd Wordsmiths office.....

Blackstone walked into his new office. It was definitely a change from International Magical Trading Standards Body, which was very bland and uniform. This office was anything but: Notes were tacked on boards lining the walls, trinkets of all sorts littered the landscape, stacks of paper sat on all the desks and piles of muggle things sat around. Blackstone blinked. It was definitely more comfortable than the sterile International Department he was previously in. But at the same time, the organized part of Blackstone wondered how stuff got done. Peering around the office, Blackstone waved to the people around the office.

"Um... Hi, everyone. I'm Blackstone Martimus. As I recently found out, I'm going to be your new division head... so thought I may as well introduce myself."

Just then a very excited looking lady rushed past her.

"And my guess is that many people are getting into new positions as division heads... So I hope you'll forgive me if I'm new at this."

Taken aback by the sudden ecstactic behavour of Catlin, Becca giggled "Well done Catlin" she called after her before looking around at the room again and sighing.

Her eyes fell on the new person and she smiled again "Guess this is my cue.." she looked at Alicia "I'll still be around. I promise" with that promise, Becca walked over to the new division head "Congratulations.." she smiled "And look after them for me" Becca glanced around the room again before nodding and waving goodbye to Dylan. She finally left the room with a small smile playing on her lips. There was a whole other adventure ahead.

"Why, thank you" Blackstone said. "And congratulations to you as well. I'd offer my congratulations to Catlin... but it appears she's already dashed out. Anyway, I'll do my best. Pleasure to meet you."

"Ok," Blackstone said, further entering the office. "I understand things are going to be a little shaky, what with all the transitions going on. There are a lot of important things happening, however. So today we can adjust but tomorrow I will need full concentration on some of these issues that are coming up in our division." He wasn't sure if he was saying this to let the others adjust or himself. Hopefully he hadn't come off to shaky... or hard, for that matter. He was still very new to this.

"In the meantime, I suppose it'd be a good idea to get to know each other." He could look at their files, of course, but he preferred to do it this way.

Zoey looked at the man who just walked into the department. "My name is Zoey, nice to meet you." She said with an outstretched hand.


She then turned her attention to Becca. "Congrats on the promotion. It was a really pleasure working with you and I hope you enjoy your new job." She said with a warm smile and an outstretched hand to congratulate Becca.

"Pleasure to meet you, Zoey." Blackstone said, shaking her hand.

"I suppose our first order of business would be to find out where you would each prefer to work. I understand that the divisions were merged a while ago, and that you are trained for their individual assignments. While we can all work on any assignment that comes up here, I'd like to know which tasks you are more comfortable with- those in Improper Use of Magic or Misuse of Muggle Artifacts."

Blackstone hoped he wasn't being to confusing. "So if you could let me know, I'll try to see that you are working where you are most comfortable. Also, while we're at it, why not tell me where you're from? I'd like to get to know you."
