| | The Time Room This room is, by far, the brightest one in the Department of Mysteries. Clocks can be found anywhere there's a stable spot. A huge crystal bell jar stands at the far end of the room, and it is from this that the sparkling light comes. The bell jar stands on a desk and appears to be full of a billowing, glittering wind. Inside the jar, rising and falling on the glittering current, a tiny object moves through an endless loop. The object is a small humingbird, but it doesn't always stay so; at the bottom of its circuit, the bird is within its egg. As it rises, it hatches and grows into a mature bird by the time it reaches the apex of its path. On the way back down, it becomes a fledgling bird and then reenters its egg, which reforms around it. This progression of time repeats over and over within the jar. Also, a large glass-fronted case stands against a wall within which many Time-Turners of various sizes rest on shelves. To the very left as you walk in, a dark oak desk sits in front of the whiteboard with a few, thin file folders on it. The nameplate is hard to read, but as you walk closer the name reflects off of the golden background as 'RaeAnn Asteria'. The desk was so neat on it that it was hard to tell if anything had ever been touched. There were few pictures on the desk, if any at all. The drawers were locked, full of personal and departmental items that need not be disturbed. It was so perfect, it was hard to imagine what could be in there.
So step on in, and don't be afraid. The ticking will fade after a while. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Edeline Gabrielle Redford Fifth Year | The Magic 'N Me Parker had spaced out a little, since she was so tired that she couldn't stop yawning. Looking down a her hand, she realized she was still holding a Time-Turner. She looked around at her coworkers, wondering if she had missed something.
Slowly and carefully she placed one of the last Time-Turners in the correct box. She couldn't help but notice her hands were slightly shaking and she was starting to feel a little lightheaded. 'I'm fine.' she told herself trying to keep herself from worrying that something was wrong with her.

Meredith listened to Cassandra's explanation. "Good," she replied when Cassandra was done. "Use whichever one of the two that you want."
When Cassandra asked how the others were doing, Meredith said, "Well, I'll go find out." Meredith moved on to the woman at the next work station, Parker. Meredith noticed that Parker looked a little spacey and her hands were shaking slightly. Parker had also been quiet during the whole time they were talking. "Are you okay?" Meredith asked Parker worriedly.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Edeline Gabrielle Redford Fifth Year | The Magic 'N Me Parker still felt rather spacey and the surely wasn't the best thing in the world. But then again there were worst things, that could go wrong rather then feeling shaky and lightheaded. She inhaled deeply before breathing out a shaky breath.
She gave Meredith a small smlie, she had never meant to worry her boss. It was her first day and she was already not feeling well. "I'm just not feeling very well. But I'm fine to work." she told Meredith in hopes she wouldn't worry about her.

"Are you sure?" Meredith asked. She didn't like how pale Parker was looking. "Because you can take a break if you need to. Go to the break room and relax for a while," she suggested. "You can't do your best work if you're not feeling well."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Edeline Gabrielle Redford Fifth Year | The Magic 'N Me She gave a small nodded to Meredith's suggestion, since her boss was right and she was wrong. "I guess I'll go the break room for awhile." she told Meredith as she pulled off the hazmat suit. "I'll come back as so as I feel better." she added as she turned to leave the bright and beautiful Time room.

"Okay," Meredith answered. "I hope you feel better," she called to Parker as Parker left the room. Meredith hoped everything was all right with Parker.
Meredith moved on to the next employee, Candra. "How are you doing?" Meredith asked her. "What do you think about the different methods?"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Edeline Gabrielle Redford Fifth Year | The Magic 'N Me She simply nodded as she exited the nearly blinding room. All she need was some strong coffee and a moment to sit. Parker had always been a sickly kid, but she thought she had gotten past getting sick when under too much stress.

Cassandra nodded when Meredith told her to use whichever one. 'Got it.' Her eyes followed Meredith as she went over to Parker. 'She looks kind of sick,' she thought, 'I wonder what's wrong.' She followed Parker with her gaze as said girl walked out of the room, and to the break room.
Then, seeing Meredith talking to Candra, Cassandra decided to look around the room more. The woman got up from her workspace, and glided back over to the bell jar. She crouched down, though, with the protective suits on was somewhat hard to do so.
The humming bird was currently reentering it's shell, which was reforming around it. Then the bird was coming out now. Cassandra watched the bird go through it's cycle over and over for a small while, before she stood back up.
She slightly winced when she felt her knees ache from being in that position for so long. The dark haired woman wandered towards the opposite side of the room from where her boss and colleage were, admiring the craftmanship of the various clocks. 'Well, one thing's for sure,' she thought, 'no one in this division should ever be late...' |

Meredith noticed that the amount of broken Time Turners was slowly diminishing. They only had a few more to fix now.
"All right," Meredith began, facing her employees. "We only have a few more Time Turners left to fix, and then we have to seal them and test them. So for the next hour, we will finish the remaining repairs, and exactly an hour from now, we will test them."
"To do this," Meredith continued, "we will hold a Time-Turner and turn it once. No more, no less, or there could be disastrous consequences. You'll notice that as soon as we're done talking, a copy of yourselves will appear in the room, because you will be going back in time exactly on hour. You will have an hour to spend talking to yourselves." At this, Meredith grinned. It should be interesting. "So don't freak out when you see another you in this room. Remember, this is a test of previously broken Time-Turners, so tell me if you experience any strange feelings when using it."
Meredith looked at Cassandra and Candra to make sure they understood. She then looked at one of the various clocks on the wall. "The time is now 2:07. Unless you have any questions, you will turn your Time-Turner at exactly 3:07." ooc: Sorry if I'm confusing you. It makes sense in my mind, but if you think I didn't explain it well enough, let me know and I'll PM you with a better explanation.

Alexandra walked into the Time Room looking around at her new place of work . She heard someone giving directions and decided she would just sit back and watch until she was instructed what to do.

Meredith looked up as a woman entered the room. Walking over to her, Meredith said, "Hi, you must be Alexandra. I was told you were coming. My name is Meredith and I'll be your division head," she introduced herself.

Alexandra smiled and nodded at her. "Hello, Miss Meredith. I am Alexandra."
She looked around blue eyes big. "So, what do you guys do around here?" She asked ready to get to work.

"Hi Alexandra," Meredith replied. "And you can just call me Meredith." In response to Alexandra's question, Meredith proceeded to explain everything they had done so far. "Does that make sense?" she asked when she was done.

"Yes." Alexandra smiled ready to get to work. "So, Meredith. When do I get one of these special suits?"

"Oh!" Meredith blushed as she walked over to the closet that contained the suits. She couldn't believe she hadn't given Alexandra a suit yet. "Here you go," Meredith said, handing the suit to Alexandra.

"Thank you." Alexandra said as she pondered on how she should put it on. "Now, what do you need me to do?" Alexandra asked as she finally got the suit on.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Jean Sebastian | ooc: I'm really sorry for not posting, everyone. School has been crazy lately.
Meredith was about to explain to Alexandra what they were going to do when she noticed another woman walk into the room. "Hello," Meredith greeted the woman, smiling. "I'm Meredith, your division head." Meredith thought for a moment, trying to remember the name of the other person on her list of employees. "You must be Ariana," she said.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sabrina Dumbledore Fourth Year | "Yes I am," said Ariana, glad that she was in the right place. "I'm sorry I was late, I didn't know if this was the right place or not." She looked around and saw an egg, turn into a bird, then go back to an egg. "Wow, that's so amazing!" |

"Don't worry about being late," Meredith assured Ariana. "I'm late all the time, and look where I work." She gestured to all the clocks in the room. Meredith grinned when she noticed the look on Ariana's face when Ariana saw the hummingbird in the giant hourglass. "It is pretty cool," she agreed.
Meredith crossed over to the cabinet that contained the protective suits that everyone was wearing. She grabbed one and went back to where Ariana was standing. "You need to wear this while we're fixing Time Turners," she explained, "to protect yourself from the sand. It can be very dangerous if it touches your skin." Meredith addressed Alexandra as well as Ariana as she continued. "We only have a few Time Turners left to fix, and then we're going to test them. I'll explain that when we're done fixing the Time Turners. To fix them, all you need to do is move the sand from the broken hourglasses," Meredith gestured towards the box of broken hourglasses, "to the new hourglasses and put them in this box." She pointed to the box that was filled with newly fixed Time Turners.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sabrina Dumbledore Fourth Year | "Thank you," Ariana said as she put on the protective suit. "Right, so sand into new timeturner, into box. This shouldn't be that hard." She walked over to where she was going to work and grabbed a broken timeturneer. She looked over to see how the others were doing it, and then got the idea.
She took of the lid, and used a spell to break the hourglass. She then said a summoning spell to lift the sand from the broken hourglass, to the new time turner. Sealing the lid on the new timeturner, she smiled; Ariana had finally completed her first timeturner. She put the new one, in the box, then got to work on the next broken one. |

Meredith watched Ariana work for a moment and, satisfied that Ariana was doing a good job, walked back over to where Alexandra was. "How are you doing with fixing the Time Turners?" Meredith asked.

Meredith looked around when Ariana spoke, not sure if Ariana was talking to her or not. After a pause, Meredith decided to answer. "I've been working here for about four years now," she said. She sat down, hoping to have a conversation with one of her employees. They were all so quiet.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sabrina Dumbledore Fourth Year | "Wow, four years?" Ariana exclaimed. She thought to where she was four years ago. "Gosh four years ago, I would've been working on my OWLS," she said realising just how new she actually was to this job. "Have you always been in this department?" she asked, "or have you been moved?" |
