"DID YOU JUST WINK AT ME, MR. CHAMBERS?! THAT IS SEXUAL HARRASSMENT! HOW DARE YOU!"she shouted at him, turning red in the face and sending red sparks from the tip of her wand to the floor. Before she did something she TRULY would get fired for she turned on her heel to leave the room but stopped right at the door. Casting a few more charms she made sure that Mr. Chambers could not move off of that stool.

"I will see to it that the Minister herself knows of your deplorable actions!" she said in a calm voice as she exited the room making sure the door slammed shut behind her.

Chloe's eyes widened, almost in horror, when she heard Antigone completely let go and YELL at Ryan. Her stomach got a bit nervous. She was going to report him to the Minister. That meant Chloe should probably tell her what Ryan had just done to her, too. Looking at Briony after she heard the door slam, she asked, "Should I tell her what he just said to me? And that he was looking at me like I was a piece of meat?" she asked, her voice becoming icy. She was still peeved about it, definitely. He shouldn't be allowed with just treating every woman in the office like that. And his boss?! That was just... awful.

Briony's eyes were wide as Antigone completely exploded. Oh. my. gosh. She didn't think she had ever seen someone that furious with another. The whole office went silent for the moment and then they quietly resumed their conversations. That had scared everyone not just her. "She may have a guess he does that to most women," Briony figured, turning to Chloe. "But if you want to then I would. Just--give our boss sometime to cool down first. I'd be scared to approach her at the minute."

J.J. Starr thinks to himself. The oldest employee and the oldest tenured employee at Magical Education is being treated like he is a ghost.No one talks to him. No one cares anything about him. " I guess no one heard me, not about the break, but the apology or more of my ideas about the students and teachers" Joe Jon Montcenaggio laughed.

Ryan winced again when the woman yelled or roared would be more suitable but it was not as much of a shock as what she had said. Sexual Harassment?! What? WHAT?! NO WAY! And he had been thinking that that Ms. Everhart had thought too high of herself thinking that he would flirt her. He could take that but the other one no.

So, he tried to turn around to object at that however neither he was able to speak nor able to turn around or leave the stool. Hmm not good.

Antigone swept back into the room after two hours of having Mr. Chambers sit in the corner in the dunce cap. With a few flicks of her wand she unglued his tongue from the roof of his mouth, vanished the dunce cap, lifted the spells that kept his head from turning and then vanished the stool right out from under him.

"There Mr. Chambers. If you ever wink at or speak inappropriately to another woman or argue with me again you might find yourself without a job within this Ministry. It would do you well to remember that," she said in clipped tones as she tunred on her heel and swept right back out the door.

Ryan let out a breath of relief when he felt his tongue free again which meant his ability to talk was BACK! Yay for that! And with no time he felt the hat vanish and that he could move and... ''Ow!'' hefound himself on the floor as he heard Ms. McArdle's cold shower of words.

''Well understood'' he responded while getting back on his feet and once he was done he walked back to his desk to sit at his chair which was way more comfortable than that stool and of course the floor. ''Ehem. All right. What was i saying? Ah, yes. No weird stuff then... have we discussed about detention at school? Its essentialness, usefulness and how a detention should be? Hm?'' And no questions on how this came to in his mind.

As Ryan was freed, Chloe had to fight to keep in the large hmph she wanted to audiate. And then he was walking back to his desk and babbling something about detention, but Chloe just gave him a deathly, venomous look and didn't respond. First of all, detention was not something they had any say in, that was purely the decision of the school staff. Second of all, she had lost all respect for Ryan.

She really needed to talk to Antigone.

uuuuuugh

Right after pronouncing his question Ryan looked at everyone's face seperately, his light blue eyes stopping at Chole's who was not giving him a nice gaze, almost vindictive. He knew that there would be consequences like that but analysing her looks Everhart seemed to be too passionate about it.

Then what she needed was a hard and stern man as a boss, like those Law Enforcement lot who had serious psychological problems. She was going to have it. Forget all his promises on not to use his skills for this purpose. Whatever. ''Yes, Ms Everhart?'' he said with a firm tone ''You seem to have an idea on...this topic, i hope, you can hate me later out the office''

Chloe raised her eyebrows dangerously at the man as her wand hand tensed under her desk, longing to take out her wand and hex the pigheaded, disrespectful, womanizing, fake, idiotic man addressing her, but she knew that that would not be a good idea. She placed her hands flat on the top of her desk and stood up, her commanding presence making her seem taller than she actually was. Then she just stared at him. If he thought he could get away with treating her like he had and then try to demand respect from her, he was horribly mistaken. After just standing there and staring him down for a few minutes, she moved out from behind her desk, walking confidently and purposefully toward Antigone's door, her heels angrily clicking on the floor, her hands balled up into fists. She didn't care if she had to sit out there for hours. It would be better than sitting at her desk and having to deal with him.

As the woman did nothing but glare at him, Ryan did the same not moving his eyes out the gaze of the woman's. And he did it till she moved out her desk to walk out of the offices. ''Excellent answer!'' Ryan said then sarcastically watching her walking out, this time a cunning half smile appearing on his face. He just hoped that woman was not brave or stupid enough to start an open war against him.

Once she was out he tapped on his desk lively and looked at others ''Anyone else who has an idea?''

Ethan ventured into the office as he had been away for far too long. Silly emotions. His dark eyes looked around as the air seemed a little thick with tension. OH well, he wasn't going to worry about it as he had other things to do. "First of all, what's the problem," Ethan asked as he took a seat, looking towards the man that asked for ideas.

As he expected someone else ro express his or her idea, Ryan's focus was distracted again when he heard someone step inside the offices. And this time Ryan's eyes followed this man whom he had not seen before till he sat down. ''There's no problem'' he replied calmly ''We were about to discuss the concept of detention at Hogwarts, Mr...''

"Okay, Mr. Chambers let us get something straight RIGHT NOW! You, sir are the INSPECTIONS Division Head. You do not RUN this Department, that is my job. You do not strut through here ordering people around acting as though you are supreme ruler or sommat!" she spat the words at him, her thick Irish lilt rearing it's ugly head.

"If I get one more complaint about sexual harrassment from one of the female employees or hear that you are being so delsuional as to think that YOU are the boss there will be repercussions for your actions. Do I make myself perfectly clear sir?" she said in an even flat tone as she stared directly at him.

Chloe had followed Antigone out of her office, walking at a quick pace. She wiped all signs of concern off her face as they exited the office and headed toward the work area. And then Antigone was yelling at Ryan again, and Chloe just stood behind her, trying to twist her face into an expression of unreadable emotion... though all she really wanted to do was smirk. That would probably not be very appropriate in this situation, however.

Oliver walked into the department with his arms full of papers. From the looks of it some people in the office where having an argument of some sort. He walked over to one of the other employees and said "Did I miss something here?"

As Ryan was waiting for the new man to introduce himself, he got surprised for a moment when he heard and angry female voice instead. Ah, Ms. Antigone McArdle again! The man just turned and faced the boss woman as she snapped every word at his face with utmost anger.

Now, where did that come from? That was a question to be quickly replied once his eyes landed on Chole who came after the boss. She complained about him. That was okay but was not this anger too much to show over the words of a single employee. ''Actually i was doing what i am told to do by yourself Ms McArdle'' he responded calmly ''I'm not trying to rule anywhere'' Not even his own flat.

Turning back to analysing that anger Ryan was almost sure that there was something else that affected this woman and she was all 'I'll eat you alive' towards everybody, perhaps, of course Choe complaining had another good effect on it. ''Yes, you did clearly enough, boss''

Antigone stared at the man dumbfounded for a moment. "I never told you to treat the employees as pieces of meat nor have I EVER told you to treat the other Division as though you are their boss. Chloe is not your employee. You do not go around trying to analyze or get into anyone's heads in this office, Mr. Chambers. YOu do the job you are tasked to do and nothing more. I will not put up wit your insolence," she said as she stood and glared at him still.

This time in the office she noticed Cy and said, "Lovely to see you here Mr. Matteo. Glad you are back with us. Have a lovely morning you all. And Mr. Chambers... one more. I kid you not." She then turned and walked slowly out of the office giving Chloe a wink on her way out.

Obviously it was hard to make Madam McArdle believe something when she was determined to get angry and snap. Women! They focused way more on their emotions regardless of what they are love or hate. And they were dangerous when they hated someone so Ryan was supposed act carefully now if he did not want to be a victim of a woman's anger...again.

Therefore he was not going to argue back this time though she even forbid him to analyse people which was like asking someone to stop thinking. ''I understood, Ms McArdle. Thank you.'' he said kindly and nodded to assure that. Oh good boy.

When Antigone mentioned Chloe's name, she felt the sudden urge to hide and pretend her name wasn't Chloe, but that wasn't people. Did she have to call her out specifically? Standing there, Chloe watched the exchange between Antigone and Ryan, and then looked up as she addressed Mr. Meany Face from the restaurant. Why was she being so nice to him? Hmm... Chloe had missed something. She and Antigone definitely needed to catch up soon. When Antigone turned to go and gave Chloe a wink, Chloe smiled and mouthed, "Thank you," before returning to her desk.

Penelope entered the office and made her way towards her desk, now that she had returned from her leave of absence she was determined to give her work her all. She greeted Chloe as she passed, "Hiya, what's been going on?"

Chloe looked up from her pretend work as Penelope stopped by her desk. She smiled up at the woman and shook her head a bit. "Trust me, you probably don't want to know..." she said in a quiet voice, not thinking it would be a very good idea to recount the exploits of Ryan while still in the office.

"Oh!" laughed Penelope, she enjoyed gossip but by the tone of Chloe's voice she thought it'd be better if she just left things here. "Is there anything that needs doing around here?" asked Penelope, she was unsure of the current work situation.

Chloe sat back in her chair a bit and crossed her legs, looking around the office. It didn't seem that anyone was really doing much of anything. Why would Penelope ask her anyway? She wasn't in charge. It made her smile, though, that a coworker thought to ask her such a question. "I've no idea dearie. I'd ask your division head. I'm waiting to be given another assignment as well," she replied, twisting back and forth in her desk chair a bit.

A woman after his own heart. Cy watched Tiggy as she strutted out of the room. Rawr. Forceful, dictating, a natural born leader. Yup! He was falling for her hard. He scratched the side of his lower cheek as if needing something to do. This was a little...uncomfortable but fun at the same time.

"Well, what are we working on?" What a way to break the ice, huh?
