Ryan blinked at Dora a few times surprised at how she could summarize it like that though the situation was looking a completely complicating mess to him. ''Well...yes. Could be said like that.'' But it not sound like it was describing the problem he was trying to express well enough. The problem was hard to describe, not to mention his feelings for that case which were impossible to describe with words. ''And i could not get the real meaning behind her words and acts''

Juniper walked into the break room and looked around to find a good place to sit. As she scanned the room June saw Dora and Ryan and with a wave said, "Hello Dora, how are you? And Ryan, how are you?" They looked as though they were having a private conversation and June wasn't one to put her nose where it didn't belong so she found a table and sat down. With the flick of her wand she had a cup of tea in her hands. Juniper took a sip and sighed trying to relax.

Dora took a sip of her tea and looked at Ryan. "Okay, I'll let you in on a little secret.. only if you promise not to tell anyone I told you." she said casting a mock suspicious glance around the room.

Cracking a smiled she leaned in closer and whispered, "There is often no reason behind women's behavior... We act irrationally and with no provocation. It doesn't matter how many boks you read or how many people you analyze... you'll never truly figure out how women's minds work, Ryan."

Seeing june walk in Dora sat up straight in her chair. "Hey June, how are you dear? I haven't seen you in what seems like ages." Dora said giving her a genuine smile.

Severia walked into the break room. She didn't know anyone else there, but they were having their own onversation so they probably wouldn't even notice her. She grabbed a cup of coffee and a copy of the Daily Propeht and sat in her favorite comfy chair in the corner.

''A secret? Sounds interesting'' Ryan replied with a cunning smile. Maybe this little secret was going to help him solve the darkest parts of the many puzzles about women. However he looked dissappointed right after Dora whispered him the secret. ''Does that mean Lilah's behaviour was random then? But there's a reason behind everything. There must be. Don't you think so? It is quite upsetting to hear that her words and acts were...random. Then maybe i provocated her, i'm not sure''

He stopped talking or mostly attacking Dora with questions when he heard someone else stepping inside and he looked up with curiosity. It was his co-worker but more Calla's faithful friend Juniper. ''Hi, Juniper'' he responded with his kindest smile ''I'm fine thank you. I hope the same can be said for you. I suppose it can since you look lovely''

Then the door opened again distracting him one more time as another lady stepped inside the breakroom. He eyed the woman not recognising her. He opened his mouth to say something to then give it up not wanting to sound rude to Dora and Juniper.

Pierre practically ran into the the room. The had been well hectic. Who though being an unspeakable would be such hard work. He saw a woman sit on a chair in the corner she held a copy of the prophet...maybe that could calm his nerves a bit. "Um...Hello I see you're reading?" he said smiling. He noticed his boss on the way in but preferred not to interrupt. Especially after the embarrassing disaster he had gone through.

"Well, I've finished most of it." Severia said. "You can have it if you like. There's really nothing interesting in it though." She offered the paper to the wizard. "By the way, I'm Severia Gaunt. Have a seat." She flicked her wand and a chair appeared behind Pierre. With another flick of her wand, a mug began to fill with coffee, but after noting his excited behavior, she changed it to a calming chamomille tea.

Dora watched Ryan's face fall a bit and she giggled. "You missed the operative word there, Ryan. OFTEN... I did not say always. THere is no way of knowing what made this woman act the way she did without asking her. Be straightforward for once Ryan. None of this sitting back and over analyzing every little thing business. ASk. It's simple.. but it's brilliant in it's simplicity." she said with a wink.

Pierre sat down and took the mug from Severia. "Well thank you Miss Gaunt" he said blowing on the tea hoping it would cool down. "My name is Pierre Delacroix" he put his back onto the chair he felt relived. This woman wasn't as crazy as Emelda and heaven knows that that woman better not come in here. He took a quick glance at the door an turned back to Severia. Clearing his throat he said "So Miss. Gaunt for how long have you been working here?

Severia loved having company so she was very happy he had come to sit with her. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Pierre. And please, call me Severia. I've only been here for a few weeks. But I am enjoying it." She answered. "How long have you been here?"

Pierre sipped on his tea as she spoke. "This is spelind" he said taking another sip he answered "Miss Severia then" Pierre opened the Prophet and dropped it on his lap. "I've been here around the same time" he said drinking again from his tea. "though it is rather exhausting, I mean my daughter had to practically drag me out of bed so I could take her to catch the train" Pierre then shook his head "but enough about me how about you? Do you have children?"

"I do. Two actually. Well, one daughter and an adopted son. They are both first years at Hogwarts this term. They are a handful." Severia took a sip of her coffee and waved her wand over the mug to refill it, this time adding more cream. "I suppose most children are excited to be going to Hogwarts. Its much more interesting than any muggle school."

"Of course their excited my daughter...actually my god daughter...." he said sipping his tea while spoke. Pierre felt his features relax as he flipped through the paper. He chuckled at himself "you know I'm awful with women..."

"I don't see why." Severia chuckled, "You seem like quite the charmer to me. Like my daughter. She's a perfect little flirt. I have no idea where she gets it. Me, on the other hand, I tend to either freeze up or ramble when I get around men. Much like I am doing now. Sorry." Severia took a sip of her coffee, in an attempt to hide her flushed cheeks.

Pierre chuckled at the comment Severia made about her daughter. "Mine daughter thank heavens probably hasn't realized men exist yet, poor thing always has her nose stuck in a book or two" he smiled and watched her sip her coffee "actually it's nice to talk to a woman whom you don't feel pressured to speak to" Pierre turned another page of the prophet. "This paper just gets worse and worse doesn't it?"

"There's never anything good in the Prophet these days." Severia said with a chuckle.

''Straightforward'' The blond man repeated raising his eyebrows at the woman ''What should i have asked her then? Are you inviting me in your home to stay so we can spend some good time together? Or i think you are trying to seduce me but completely changed your attidute the next moment, what are you trying to do? Trying to mess with me? To make me fall in love with you using a kind of strategy of your own? And expect her to be honest with the answers. Well...at least i believe i could tell if she would lie '' he laughed and placed his cup on the folders ''See. That's why i'm never straighforward. One would be really annoyed if they knew what wanders in my mind''

Dora blew a piece of hair from her face and said, "You don't have to be that straightforward, but you could always ask what her intentions are in a way that does no offend. It is always best to be honest and forthcoming, Ryan. I am and I am perfectly happy with my life. Maybe I can come across abrasive at times, but hey, who really cares?"

''All right, i understand'' He said with a half smile and began to summarize what he understood from the conversation ''I should be straighforward towards women but should regulate the balance between being open and being annoying. No relying on inferring of meanings by mental or psychological analyzing because it might not work all the time.'' he picked up the cup back. Everything about women was still hard even being straighforward you had to find some balance there. ''And there might be exceptionals to this but exceptionals make the rule so i should not pay attention to those. Am i right so far?''

Pierre nodded gulping down what was left of his tea. He couldn't but smile to himself. Working at Ministry wasn't so bad, well at least here in the Department of Mysteries. Things here were well...interesting. He put the prophet aside and with a flick of his wand had the mug disappear. "Severia may I say this has been a pleasure" he said "I can't help but tell you how relaxing this has been though I must get back to work." Pierre stretched his hand out to her "I hope we'll see each more often and thank you for the tea."

"You are very welome, Pierre. I look forward to seeing you as well." Severia said as she stood and shook the man's hand. Realizing she should go back to work as well, she gathered her things and followed him out of the break room.

Dora smiled and nodded. "Yes, dear find a middle ground. There has to be balance. And there is always an exception to any rule." she said as she picked up her cup of tea and took a sip.

Ronan Cavanaugh walked into the break room with a heavy sigh. He knew that his next assignment would be a tough one considering the topic of his mother's death was what he was researching.

He ran a hand through his golden brown locks and sat down at the table with a cup of coffee in his hand. He tapped the table absentmindedly to himself just pondering how he was going to handle this next assignment without completely breaking down in front of everyone in his department.

Dora noticed the Irishman enter the breakroom.. AHA! This was her chance to get to know him... ask him some personal questions. Teehee.

Looking to Ryan she said, "Ryan, if you'd please excuse me for a moment. I am so sorry to be rude. But there is someone I must speak with." After excusing herself she got up and made her way across the breakroom.

Watching the man tap nervously onthe table she plopped her little preggers self right on down in a chair opposite him and said, "Hi there, Ronan. I am Dora Druery, a new Divison Head for this level and I am also a good friend of Pandora's. How are you today? You seem awfully nervous about something... you know with the tap tap tapping and all." She could feel her scalp tingle and spied her locks turning flamingo pink in a mirror. "um, yeah you to excuse my hair, it does what it wishes these days." she mentioned off handedly.

Ronan came out of his self pitying state to see a pregnant looking woman approach him. It was the same one who had fallen in the cafeteria the other day when he and Pandora had first discussing going on their first date which had really gone splendidly.

"Hi Dora. It's a pleasure to meet you." Ronan began with a smile that was really forced given his depressive state.

"I've had better days, and I'm not nervous about anything really, more worried for what is going to be going on in the near future in my job." his eyes becoming wider as the woman's hair changed. He had never met a Metamorphmagus before.
