WHO: Angelina Johnson and Padraig Montague
NPCs: Unhelpful clerk in the hitwizards office.
WHAT: Alicia's missing! Angelina puts in the complaint, but it's less than 24hrs.
WHEN: October 16
WHERE: Ministry of Magic!

"Listen, the regulation is that someone has to be missing for 24 hours before any sort of report can be made." The clerk said in a calm, slightly annoyed tone that said she'd been having to say that often these days.

"Oh, blow it and your damn regulations out your ass!" Angelina said loudly venom seeping from her voice. She was freaked out, scared, worried, and right now nothing but super angry at this idiot in front of her. "I don't care. I'm her bloody roommate and I'm telling you she's missing." She was suddenly wishing she'd at least called the twins to come with her.

The clerk looked annoyed. "You think you're the only person who's been-"

Angelina's hands met the desk hard as she leaned forward menacingly. "It's Alicia Spinnet. She was missing once before, yeah? So get off your arse and do something!"

"You need to come back."

Angelina let out a frustrated scream. "And you wonder why no one fucking trusts the ministry of bloody magic to do anything!"

Realizing how freaked Angelina was right now, he sat up straight, got out some paper, and a quill and started making notes. She was right about one thing though. "You're right, we're not supposed to be looking for people until after 24 hours, however," he said looking up at her for a moment. "in light of recent events, and given Alica's history, I'll see what I can do. I can't promise anything, but I'll do what I can okay?" he said, he'd always tried not to make promises. He'd learned that after the first time he'd promised he'd find someone alive and well, they didn't turn up alive. That's been too hard of a lesson on him.

If it had been any other time he might have messed with Angelina a little bit, but like he said before, he was forced into taking this stuff seriously. Besides, it was made him good at his job. And he didn't want to be the guy that found something and ignored it only to have it come back and bite him in the arse later. "Okay, what town did she go into? Do you have the name of the grocer, or anyone who might have seen her?" he asked trying to cover his bases right now.

Alright so Angelina may have looked like she was going to start arguing loudly again, when he told her she was right about the 24hrs. He was damn lucky he got to the 'however' part of the statement so quickly. So instead she felt a bit relieved. She nodded to show that she understood, and she did notice that he hadn't promised anything.

So she played with her fingers in her lap as she listened closely to all his questions. "We live outside of Minehead in West Somerset." Yes, they were in the country, but it was easiest to live magically there. Especially since you could just apparate where ever. That normally where we pop to for the shopping." She said shaking her head. "Normally we just go to the Village Shop if it's just snack food, and One Stop if it's more. So it was one of those two places." She shook her head. "I don't know if anyone saw her. She did't make a habit of starting conversations."

Padraig wrote down everything Angelina said, making notes here and there as ideas and procedures came to him. He would later take this and turn it into a list, as the paper he was currently working on was messy and pretty much only made sense to him, but it was how his brain worked and no seemed to be complaining of that. He nodded his head as he wrote trying to think of anything else he might be able to add.

"Are you going to be around for a while? Like, not planning any big trips or anything?" he started, a pretty standard question. "Just in case we need anything, or find something?" he clarified.

"I, uh," he started setting down his quill. "I'm sorry this happened." he said trying to put on a small grin, it wasn't working well, but he was trying.
