Ern was more than a bit worried about what was going on at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Ever since he had returned from the weekend, his interactions with some of his peers and subordinates had been less than a bit chilly. It was subtle, but he was sure it was there.

He tried his best not to attibute it to the radio show that had repeated itself over the weekend, but couldn't help but believe that to be the case. It became rather clear in the review of the recent operation at Lavender's flat that morning, when someone had said something particularly off-colour about his skills at allowing his personal life interfere in his professional life. What followed was the most awkward silence before the meeting continued. Ern chose to ignore that, but internally made note of who said that and the reactions of those around the table.

If it weren't an issue, he wouldn't spend as much time worrying about it, but as he typically leads teams into highly dangerous situations as a part of his duties, he knew this would be an issue. It was just a matter of how much of an issue it would be.

Not wanting to deal with it at the moment though, he hid under the paperwork in his office for the rest of the morning and early afternoon before looking at his journal. His eyes immediately fell upon an entry by Lavender about her concerns about Michael. Now that he wasn't assigned to anything immediate, he closed his journal, tucked it under arm and went to seek out Ron to figure out what can be done at this point. Well he would after having a coffee and maybe even something to eat.
