Arthur was flabbergasted and a heavy weight was suddenly put on his shoulders, the minister just caught him red handed in skipping work. Wonderful.
"Actually, Minister, I had a memo to come down here to help identify a foreign object but it had no office identification so I thought it was a hoax" better if he sounded smart. The minister seemed to not notice Arthur's suddenly straighter back and official tone of voice. In fact he seemed to smile like Arthur was an old friend instead of a taller than him subordinate. Arthur tried to smile back at him in the same fashion, but failed miserably.
"Arthur that memo was absolutely not a fake memo it was sent by me myself you know we want you to identify a strange heavy cleaver" Fudge was incredibly happy and had a light and airy feel to him. He was either extremely happy about something that concerns a great deal of people, or on drugs. He would have liked to bet on the former, but . . . if it was the latter he would like to know were to get some.
"I'm sorry Minister I get some of prank memos to try and make me look bad." Heck some wasn't enough to top it let alone try and discover haw many he had on the way. He's been sent pranks and jinxes since he first arrived at the office! One from the Cornelius himself! By now the minister had taken off his bowler hat and began playing with it, he was nervous as Arthur was! The minister began walking away from Arthur and motioning for Arthur to follow him.
"Hurry now hurry in we don't want any prying eyes on the ministry business, now do we?" Arthur paled, why would the minister decide, in the ministry itself, that this was his so called 'ministry business'. The Minister quickened his pace in the winding hallway. Arthur hurried to keep up with the slightly chubby man, very surprised that he would be able to move so quickly on such short legs.
When he finally caught up Fudge he was staring at a huge door. If it could even be classified as that, It was made of completely metal and had a sense of forbidding to it. That wasn't the thing that made Arthur reel back so hard he hit four escorting guards that he never saw before this point. The door was covered in huge indents and burn marks indicating a huge fight. The door was barley able to be called a door. The only thing that was he was able to relate it to a door is that it was on a wall and had hinges. The Minister inserted his wand into a slot on the side of the damaged door and Arthur realized something. This is the same security that they use in Azkaban! They read your wand and your granted entry.
'This must've been a really expensive cleaver' was Arthurs only thought as he walked through he mangled door. As soon as he got to the other side he was stunned into silence.
The glass ceiling arched into wonderful decorative tiles and had magical sunlight streaming down into periodical places of sunlight that made a pattern on the brown and dark green tiles. It was beautiful . . . and must've cost a fortune!
'There goes my funding' Arthur sighed he needed that funding to. He was still looking around at the flora and fauna that was just outside the glass, he knew it was magically created but the beauty of it all was astounding. It was hard and expensive to do these spells so Arthur had no wonder that the Malfoy's put in a generous 'donation' as he likes to put it. It was only when the scenery went into a cycle did he turn his attention back to the Minister.
" . . . This part of the wall was modeled after the Malfoys own garden; these plants hanging on the ceiling are real and rare! There from some were in Italy, gorgeous things they are . . ." Fudge was blabbing on about something that looked like a sunflower and was probably about ten times more money and had less of a life to them. Arthur stopped walking and sighed. If you gave the Minister money he would be a slave to your wishes. Everyone at the Order hated that fact about Fudge.
They were out of the hallway now and had entered a courtyard looking area, with red, yellow, blue, and purple flowers placed strategically around the room to make it look bigger and more open than it usually would was beautiful and had a elegant air to it. There were people here dressed in green and yellow robes with a triangular pattern on them, they were laughing and had smiles on their faces.
Arthur had to wonder ' Why in the world?' these people were celebrating and rejoicing, while the minister had an air of dejection and misery. Fudge motioned for a few to come to them, then waved the original guard off. The Minister choose what had to bet the most massive people in the place, a good few hands taller than Arthur himself. They had more mussels than any off is boys and they all looked like bodybuilders. They had a delicate black symbol that had a flower and a fragile lettering UPP.
"Untied Protection Program" A guard answered his questioning stare. (1) Arthur reeled back in surprise. Why would such a beautiful and lively area of the ministry have such a heavy name? The Minister was on the move again and Arthur was gently pushed by the guard to follow. Fudge moved quickly throughout the botanical garden, clearly knowing every corridor. They guard was surrounding the Minister and had a wall to make sure Arthur didn't escape. A fact that he didn't miss.
The Minister led on through winding hallways and crazy floor plans. The scenery stayed the same but the air around them became dark and malevolent. They were declining now, going to somewhere that Arthur did not like. The Minister and the guard became more stiff and quiet with each step.
They had been walking for no more than a few minutes when they came upon a door, if you could call it that. It was mangled and burned so badly that Arthur could have breathed on it to hard and it would have fallen down, exactly the same state as the door into the place.
"I keep telling them if it gets loose again these door will just crumble" Fudge sighed. He was making a move to insert his wand into a slot beside the door. The same security as before! Fudge sighed and turned to him.
"Now before we go into the holding chamber we have to lay down the basics" The Minister began taking off his bowler hat "this is an enemy that has a potential weapon that could level the ministry with one sweep, do not underestimate him please" still playing with his bowler hat he went on "don't hesitate to use a retaining spell" with that he opened the door and plunged into the darkness.
