Doyle frowned. "What spell was it?" he asked. Merlin, was he really a professor at Hogwarts? That was a truly sobering thought. He couldn't imagine being happy there. What on Earth had possessed him to accept a posting there with... children...

Cassandra looked at her professor with tears in her eyes.

"It was a... memory charm..." That's it... now she'd be hawled off to Azkaban. So much for school... so much for becoming a healer... now she was going to have a record! A permanent one.

Cassandra jumped back... moving out of the man's reach and into the obliviator... this corridor was crouded. She hated being touched. "Yes..." she said looking at him suspiciously. "It was an accident... please, please fix him." She said pleadingly... just make him forget it was me...

"Interview?" She said looking at the woman... "No... please. Don't report on this..." Oh... Ok... tears... not good... Breathe just breathe...she kept thinking. If this woman was going to keep reporting on this, she'd obliviate her too!

"Oh, it's alright..." Madeline said. She tried to comfort the girl as best she could, but she wasn't sure what to do. See, this is why you don't have kids, a nagging voice in her head poked fun at her. "Let's just bring him into my office, and you can give me some more details, okay?" she asked.

Cassandra nodded.

"I am not a child that needs to be led by the hand. You have but to ask and I shall go where you need me in order to undo whatever memory charm she performed," Doyle said, irritated that they were talking about him as if he weren't even there.

Oh no... No! No! No! No! He just couldn't see the minister like this.

"Miss please," Cassandra begged, "Couldn't he just finish with Miss Grau? Please?" She wasn't sure who the new woman was, but if she wanted to bring the obliviated Branxton to see the minister, she wasn't good.

Cassandra kept by her professor's side, although she did not cling to his other arm... The poor professor, didn't like being manhandled... or witch-handled in this case. She really should have just run, far far away...

She could have gone outside and called for the Nightbus... but she couldn't have him come into harm. Rae would have murdered her if she'd found out... already she was sure to face detention... not to mention expulsion!

Although now Branxton did realize he'd been obliviated... she hoped.

"Wedding?" Doyle said, shocked. It was enough of a distraction that he was pulled from his course of heading into the Department Head's office. "Madame I must insist that you release me at once. I refuse to be manhandled for the sake of Coo... Minister Cooper."

"Wait, wait!" Jason called, looking at his HoD. "Why do you need an Obliviator? What happened here?!" he asked, walking up to her. Glancing at the man (Doyle) he frowned and looked back at the head. "Did something happen to that man? Why is this student here, and shouldn't she be in school?" He asked with a whisper.

Madeline sighed, not out of frustration, just out of pure exhaustion, "It seems that there has been an accident at the school involving Doyle and this young student here. I'm going to take him to my office and this young lady as well and figure out what happened. After that, we'll use an Obliviator and possibly a member of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad to straighten out whatever has happened here." she explained to him in a low voice, "You can come along if you want, since we need someone with your abilities, but please just check in with Ivan first. You guys have a mission that you should be planning right now, but this obviously needs some attention as well. If Ivan gives you a hard time, tell him to take it up with me," she added, knowing full well how Ivan was when it came to missions for his team.

"I'm sorry, Miss Taylor, unfortunately I simply cannot allow Mr. Doyle to see the Minister in this state. He has had some sort of spell cast on him, and we're not sure what it is yet, although my guess is it was some kind of memory charm," she explained to the woman, "Until his is in his normal state, I'm afraid he won't be able to see the Minister. If it is something important, I'm sure the Minister will want him to actually remember the events of their meeting, don't you think?" she asked. She knew Reagan was notoriously stubborn, but Madeline was just as bad. This man was not going anywhere until she had a good look at his condition.

Jason listened tentatively to what the head had to say. With each and every word coming out of her lips, he blinked with disbelief. How can a student do that to her own Professor? Looking back at the man, he furrowed his brows and looked back at Madeline. "To be honest, ma'am I do--don't think Ivan would mind. He has Dae and K--Katya with him. And..." he paused, gathering his courage, "what mission are you talking about?"

"Oh, haven't you checked in the office yet?" she asked, "There's a dress that's come to life in the middle of Muggle shopping mall. Thankfully there are only a few muggles involved, but they have to be obliviated. I'm hoping this won't take too long," Madeline said, looking at Doyle, who was resisting the effort of being pulled into the lift by Reagan, "and then you can head over and help your team on the field. I'd hate for you to miss all the fun," she said with a smile.

"Now, if everyone could please just meet in my office...we can start getting this fixed," Madeline announced, giving a glare to Reagan and grabbing Doyle's other arm.
