RP: Associates
Date: 22 August 1997
Characters: Xavier Selwyn, Yaxley (NPC)
Location: Ministry of Magic
Status: Private
Summary: Two department heads discuss the future of the Ministry.
Completion: Complete

Yaxley wasn't his favorite person in the world, but even Xavier had to admit that the MLE was a much better place with him at the head. And with himself as Head of Magical Transportation, things were running much more smoothly as well - as quick and smooth as a finely oiled broomstick, in fact. With the two of them working together, there was little they wouldn't know about those that threatened the new order. Xavier even had his eye on a few of his other associates - just to make sure everyone was doing what they should. Quislings and traitors had appeared in every war to date, so this one would be no different, and he, at least, wasn't going to be caught with his pants down.

Walking toward Yaxley's office, he noticed that his progress was marked by several of the on-duty Aurors and hit wizards. He gave them a smile that wouldn't melt better as he knocked once and then opened the door.

"I say, Yaxley, your men and women are so terribly diligent, aren't they?" he said as he stepped inside, knowing he was expected. He met his counterpart's eyes as he smirked and shut the door. "It's almost as if they suspect me of killing my unlamented former boss with the suspicious looks I was getting."

Yaxley's eyes gleamed. "Excellent." He and Selwyn were on the same page. That would make things infinitely easier.

"I think monitoring everyone who comes into the Ministry is a good idea. Potter has been able to break into the Ministry before, and I wouldn't put it past him to try it again."

His mouth twisted up. "Do you think you'll be able to design a system?" he asked. "One that some of us won't be limited to using? I'd rather not travel the way the rest of those sorry sods have to."

Xavier threw Yaxley a look. "Of course. Floo's the best way to keep an eye on things, so we'll have to switch over to that. Perhaps Anti-Apparation wards on the building to discourage that - with some exceptions. We've got some bright wizards in the building who can figure that out, I'm sure. Specific wards aren't all that difficult to produce."

He doodled on his paper as he thought. "We'll require everyone to use the Floo - though Flooing everyone in via the tellyphone booth would be impractical. Perhaps there's another way, with something similar. A marker of sorts, so we know who's coming in and when." Come to think of it ... "Think the Germans have something similar, actually. I'll see what we can do. The sooner the better on that score."

"Yes, no Apparition into the building," agreed Yaxley. "We don't want anyone popping in."

He nodded as Selwyn started to think about proper entrance ways. "Use the main entrance," he said. "Everyone can Apparate outside and walk in. You can handle the markers. I'm not sure what you're thinking, but I don't want Potter or any of his little supporters being able to get in. Whatever you can do to make that as difficult as possible." He flicked a hand at Selwyn's paper.

	Xavier smirked. "As difficult as possible?" he echoed, an idea forming. His smirk slipped into a grin because it was degrading and awkward, and he rather liked it for those who wouldn't have the opportunity to Apparate in. "I think I have just the thing, actually." (Reply to this) (Parent)
