| | Office of the Department Head, Airey Flamsteed
Oval in shape, the office of the Department Head is, in one word, quite sterile. The walls are glistening white and the carpet resembles marble more so than fabric, giving off a ridiculously clean vibe. While he is not exactly obsessive compulsive about cleanliness, Department Head Airey Flamsteed highly values organization and keeps everything in a specific location. Needless to say, if one of his quills is at an odd angle ... he will notice. The cabinets above his desk are nearly invisible against the wall and are filled with all sorts of reference books and historical tomes collected himself. The surface of his desk is mostly empty except for some black screens whose use is unknown and a comfortable looking pillow where the man's pet rocks, Pebbles and Boulder, tend to rest. Beside this is a plant in a unique looking planter.
On the backside of the likewise pearly white door (the main door that is as there are many hidden along the walls here leading to the various Chambers and Rooms within the Department) are a few framed pieces of abstract line and paint splatter artwork that Professor Flamsteed has collected over the years along with a drawing given to him by a former student in a black frame just to the left of another drawing, this one signed, in another black frame. Above these two is yet another large gifted piece of artwork also in a black frame. There is a white sofa up against one of the walls with a pet bed on the floor beside it where Pebbles and Boulder sleep when not sharing the pillow on the desk. To the right of the white sofa and is a white closet where Professor Flamsteed keeps a few freshly pressed suits from his extensive collection, just in case, and to the left of this is a rather impressive looking tie display case. Located opposite of Flamsteed's desk is yet another clear display case, but this one is filled with all sorts of muggle science fiction models. Perhaps the most interesting feature this room boasts are the menagerie of floating magical holographic images - celestial bodies, numbers, equations, figures - whose gentle glow provide the room's lighting.
Access to this office is granted by speaking its name in the main circular rotating room serving as the Entry Chamber to the entire Department. While drop ins are always welcome, the Department Head is a very busy man and prefers that appointments be made prior. Please read the thread description before posting here! This isn't strictly a public thread, but anyone is welcome to have their character knock on the door and assume they have passed through the Entry Chamber.

She stood up, as she felt the interview was coming to an end--and surely Mr. Flamsteed must have a lot of other matters to attend to. Besides, she didn't want to tire him too much after what he'd gone through during the recent war. She sensed her chair wanting to wander off behind her and gave it a sharp glance of warning. "Thank you so much for considering my request for this," she remarked, turning back to Flamsteed. "No need to hurry, I have a few minor touches yet to add to the elixir, which are best done in the space I've been using in the Love Chamber, and by the time I'm ready to go on, the new space should be ready." She gave a professional nod to him and waited to be dismissed, but then suddenly added something she'd been thinking of since the very beginning of their conversation. "You will update me on the status of the elixir? You see, one of the sons of my former employer has been unconscious in St. Mungo's since the battle at Hogwarts and I really think the elixir might be able to help him. At least...I owe it to my former pupil to try. He's her favorite uncle." Well...beam me up, Scotty! They did it.
Pleased with this solution, which was a result that they probably could have and should have come to about ten minutes ago and would be something he would later lament as an inefficient use of their time, Airey took back the diagram and pulled out an thin red envelope from his desk to slip it in.
He was a bit startled that she was standing and seemingly dismissing herself, though he did then remind himself that this was a grown woman and not a student in his office back at Hogwarts. The formalities of 'you're dismissed' were a bit too stern for the setting and their discussion did seem to have reached its conclusion anyway.
"I will see to it personally that these plans are met by the New Year," he assured her as he too rose and adjusted his tie a bit. "Of course, Jane." He paused again and cleared his throat. Speaking more sentimentally always had that feeling of swallowing too much bread and it lodging itself in his throat. "And...ahem...congratulations once again, on your revolutionary work. We will be in touch."
And no doubt Medea would want to have her over for dinner at some point. Preferably when his children were NOT home. He did not wish to subject her to the twins' antics nor Andromeda's curiosity. On their own, it could be a rather pleasant experience. All at once it and was truly overwhelming. Or perhaps that was simply because he was their father.

Revolutionary was not a word Jane typically heard applied to herself, but she did appreciate revolutionary thinking. And she very much enjoyed having her work acknowledged and appreciated. This meeting with Flamsteed was definitely going much better than her previous close encounters, but of course, those hadn't been genuine.
So it was with optimism for her future at the Ministry that Jane prepared to take her leave of her boss. "Thank you, sir, it's very nice to have one's work appreciated. And the new year will be just fine--I'll use the interim to perfect the elixir and then arrange to produce some samples for further testing." |
