" Yah, yeah. We should plan that some time. " He said with a slight nod before Keagan answered his question in a lowered tone. Ministry of Magic? He wondered why they were there in the first place. He thought the school couldn't be disturbed by the Ministry.... Jake voiced his question and asked Keag, " Why? Why are they here? " His voice now slightly lowered as well, just in case. He had heard a few rumors about something happening to a teacher, but you never know.

Akina stopped at the end of the corridor staring at a picture. She only meant to listen to the coversation, but she was at the wrong picture. Some guy in armour was clearing his throat trying to gain her attention.
"M' lady. I'm am at your service if you ever in need."
Akina stared at the picture. Talking portraits were rare espeically in Chicago and she didn't think of seeing any in her own time. Akina kept one ear trained to the students her feelings being slightly spiked as she heard the MoM comment as she read the discription of the portrait. "This says Fat Lady in Red Dress. Sir, you are neither fat, a lady, or in a red dress?"
The armoured man bowed. "No, M'Lady. I was erm visiting with the lady, but she is not here. I was going to wait for her. Actually," and the man whispered so that Akina could only hear. "I'm doing a little snoopin of my own."

Glancing to the end of the corridor, her eyes following the officer, Keag was 90% certain they were now being spied on. Though she didn't expect to say anything incriminating, as she hadn't done anything wrong and had no reason to say anything that might hint otherwise, Keagan had heard rumors about slips of the tongue that had gotten people into spots of trouble with the Ministry at Hogwarts.
"They're investigating the murder of Professor Avery Thorne, I believe. I'm sure you've heard something about that. I'm not sure what they expect to find here at Hogwarts, but according to administration, there isn't much we can do about them either way."

" No, actually. " Jake said to her with a shake of his head. He had heard of the murder, but he didn't really know what had happened. The only details he knew of were that the Professor had been murdered... obvious details such as that. " What, do they think a student did 'im in? " Jake asked her curiously. He thought was a really stupid idea, why would one of the student's murder a professor? Sure, they might not have liked the man, but still...

"I really don't know what they think. I know some auror arrested a student over the summer in connection with the murder without a drop of proof, so I suppose that there are some that suspect us students, even if the entire Ministry doesn't," Keagan replied, still in a lowered tone. "I really don't understand why they think a student would kill a sweet woman like Avery Thorne, though. Or why anyone would...unless they have some agenda against her brother."

" Avery's a women? " Jake said, suprised. He always thought Avery was a woman's name, but you never know... He shrugged slightly and then replied, " Wierd, wierd, wierd. " He shook his head as he said it, thinking it a bit stupid of the ministry to invade Hogwarts like they did. He shrugged once again. " Who's her brother? " Jake asked her curiously. He hadn't heard of Avery Thorne before now, so he hadn't heard of her brother, either.

"Yup. She was a taught Runes, I think," Keagan replied, amazed at how much knowledge she was sharing. "Her brother? Only Cody Thorne, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. Huge big wig, and he's in charge of these Ministry monkeys." Keag rolled her eyes as she said this, eyeing the woman at the end of the corridor once again. At this point, she turned to walk in the opposite direction from the woman, and gestured to Jake to follow.
((I mentioned that Keag was talking in a low voice for a reason...In my opinion, Ms. Stone being able to hear anything that Keagan is saying would take amazing, no BEYOND amazing hearing...or a spell. Neither of which have been mentioned. I consider any mention of such an infringement...and an act of god-moding))

Jake nodded, he didn't know where, but he had heard of the name Cody Thorne. Just couldn't place it if his life had depended on it. He smiled at Keagan as she mentioned the ministry monkies. ( ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ) He sounds kind of stupid for putting them here... He thought as Keag walked away and he followed her. " Soo.... Where to? " He asked her curiously. He wandered if they were just going to the end of the corridor to get away from the Ministry woman or to another location completely.

{Uh, thanks for pointing that out Keag, a bit paranoid are we. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) , Also how are you 90% positive. She hasn't done anything to make you aware she was listening in. I think that's a bit leaning towards god -moding yourself. don't ya think. All she's done was walk past you and start talking to a portrait. In this school that cries out for you to get suspicious?} Akina's eyes widened. This was a bit more than she was expecting and she had forgotten about the kids for the moment, besides they were probably talking about dating or something. "Or really, what have you found out." "I know, M'Lady, that some of the students are out past curfew, going to the kitchens or out of the school." Akina gasped. "No, that's impossible with all the security. No." The iron clad man nodded his head. He smiled at Akina and spoke to her. "I'll see you at midnight in the kitchens than maam!" Akina nodded her head. "Yes, what else do you know kind sir?"

(I am a bit paranoid XD. You just mentioned in your last post that Akina's feelings spiked at the MoM comment, though, and all MoM comments were made in quiet voices...And Keagan's automatically 50 or 60% postive she's being spied on, because she doesn't like the Ministry invading Hogwarts and after the ordeal with Jade, what student wouldn't be worried? This isn't the first time she's taken poorly to seeing someone from the MoM. I didn't mean any offense by any of it; I really didn't want to deal with anything that happened as a result of calling Ms. Stone a monkey, though... ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ...Crikey, I already know this is longer than the post I'll write. Meh. Rereading my other OOC, it sounded insanely professional. My apologies ^^) "Well, you're lost, right?" Keagan asked, glancing over her shoulder as Jake caught up with her. "We might as well remedy that, eh? At the very least anyway. Anyplace you're curious about, though?" The Gryffie girl wasn't moving very quickly, but a few steps covered a lot of ground in an empty corridor. She slowed a bit more as she rounded a curve in the hallway and lost sight of the Ministry worker who now seemed to be engrossed in idle chatter of some kind with a portrait Keag was unfamiliar with.

" Well, yes. " Jake said. Having no such luck in finding his book he sighed slightly and still followed Keag around the corner. The girl seemed to be really jiffed that the Ministry Official had come down that corridor... While Jake thought it was stupid of her to actually be in Hogwarts, he didn't mind being interrupted all of the time. Random people joining conversations was nice in his opinion. He shrugged, then answered, " Eh, not really. You could show me around wherever, though. " He said.

((Random people and Ministry officials are very very different ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ...leave me alone)) They had now come to a split staircase that seemed to be behaving at the moment. "Well, choose up or down," Keag said with nod, trying to think of something, nearly anything, that she could think to show Jake. She figured his decision of direction might jog some sort of thought or ideas. 'There has to be something in this building I can think to show, other than the RoR,' she thought.

(( yeah, yeah. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) )) Jake contemplated the question before answering, " Uh, down. There're more things down than up, I guess. " He said, thinking since the pair were on the sixth floor it would make more sense to go down, there would be more things for him to see. " So, this shall be my official tour, then. " He said to Keag with a grin as he started to head down the stairs with her. He drummed his hand lightly on the banister as he walked, looking around at all of the portriats. He saw one with a group of old Wizards playing cards and grinned.
