It had become standard for the badgers of level one to work through lunch. The security detail, however, changed shifts every four hours. Zach and Robbie, among others, had taken to practically living in their offices. There was so much to do, meetings to attend, things to get done to hold the fort down. It had been a surprise when the wizards had stormed in, demanding access to the Minister's office. Had they really thought that a hostile take over would work? Perhaps they were expecting to find Level One deserted. Instead they found a group of devoted Ministry officials prepared to defend the Minister's office.

The rest happened rather quickly. There were spells fired on all sides, but before long, the leader of their group was lying dead on the floor and Zach was on the ground, clutching his left arm and blood pouring from a gash in his head.

There was a rush of movement then and before he knew what was going on, Zach found himself being fussed over by healers at St. Mungo's.

Now he felt like he was floating, smiling goofily from pain potions when he heard a knock on the door and saw Justin come in.

"Hey.." he said tiredly.
