For someone who was being told to leave immediately and wanted their loved one saved, Michael had a lot to say, Ern thought as he briskly checked everyone's position once more. Those positioned outside were ready as well as those in the hallway. They awaited their word.
"So she's in a safe room," Ernie affirmed the information that he needed. "We'll deal with it as it happens. Just let me do my job," he said quite plainly, letting Michael talk himself out without paying that much attention. Right now we'll just need to focus on capturing Zurlo and ensuring that Lavender's life isn't in immediate danger--not to pander anyone's bruised ego. "In on three," he said into the communication device before counting it out.
Sounds of the door finally being kicked open, as were spells directed to make entrances where they saw fit (of course, surveying for bookshelves, other walls or other things blocking the way had been completed)--occured on cue. They were rather quick and good at their work, which was something Ernie was rather proud of.
Of course that didn't quite go without a bit of destruction, but the Ministry will send its restoration crew once the operation was complete. The team broke off into smaller teams, wands at the ready, and immediately had taken to search out the fireplace, bed room and apartment.
