It was a normal day at the Ministry of Magic, you could hear the noise of the phones and the murmurings of people taking between them, people coming and going. A golden-haired girl just arrived, with a white shirt, a formal black pants and heels, she carried four coffee cups. She walks the long corridors of the Ministry of Magic in her way to the Aurors offices. As soon as she gets there, she knocks on the door and smiles, a tall blond man turns back, smiling, he nods his head giving her permission to come in. The girl enters the room and puts the coffees on the table. She greeted the same man with a soft kiss and leaned against a desk, picking up one of the coffee cups.
"What you working on today?" Draco asks while looking to a board, and then to some papers on his right hand.
Alese looks to Draco, "Nothing really important. Busy today?" The Department of Mysteries could be really boring when nothing happens.
"Nothing much, it has been peaceful lately."
Alese was about to answer to her husband, but in that exact moment, Felix and Chan arrived really excited about something else. Chan greets Alese and goes to his desk, Felix looks to the blond girl holding her coffee, and take the coffee from her hands.
"Uh, coffee," Felix says in a cheerful tone, "Nice, thanks."
"Yeah, I'm glad you like my coffee. I spit on it before. Enjoy." Felix, with the coffee still in this mouth, spits back into the cup, with a face of disgust. Alese starts to go laugh and grabs the other coffee that was supposed to be Felix's and gives Chan the last one.
Every day was like this, it was a funny routine for the four of them. After some laughs and arguments between Felix and Chan about their last mission, they started to hear panic screams of a loud and feminine voice. The Aurors rush to go and see what's going on. There were feathers flying all over a fallen girl on the floor. It was Ella. The woman was with a messed hair and an open case.
"Did a bird just poop you out?" Malfoy laughs of the girl state.
"Shut up, Thunderbird escaped." Ella gets up and cleans the dust from her black jeans.
"What the hell is a Thunderbird?" Felix asks, imagining a thunder with wings.
"A Thunderbird is a huge avian creature native to North America so I don't know how he came to England, he can create storms as it flies and is highly sensitive to danger..." Ella gives all the details about a Thunderbird, "I have to find him before someone gets hurt or he gets hurt."
"How can we help?" Chan offers his help.
"Thank you, but I don't need help." Ella gets ready to go on a search for the avian creature.
"You're coming late for work then," Malfoy concludes, with the time that Ella will take to find the big bird.
"Leave me alone, don't you guys have something better to do?" Ella rudely replies, already impatient with that situation.
The girl leaves and goes through the city to find the Thunderbird. Alese looked in disapproval to Malfoy, leaving him confused. Ella, ever since she got out of Hogwarts, broke up with Jeongin and got this job in the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures on the Beast Division, she has been more unstable emotionally and most of her time she spends inside her case, taking care of her Magical Creatures and doing research on that matter. Alese and the guys went back to their office. The mood was silent and kind of heavy, because of that attitude from Ella. Alese was still judging Malfoy mentally for playing with her when he knows that she isn't at her best point in life.
"What?" Malfoy gets tired of the looks of a judgment of his wife.
"You could've been kinder to her." Alese points out.
"I make fun of everything, will you really judge me for that, when your friend is the one being a pain in the ass?" Malfoy rolls his eyes.
"You know how emotionally unstable she's has been, making fun won't help her. It will just make her mad." Alese explains what the blonde guy already knew.
"You know what will help her?" Malfoy asks rhetorically, "A boyfriend."
"Sorry, I'm not into polygamy," Alese remembers the old crush of Malfoy on Ella.
"And how about a meeting with all the other boys? It's been a while since we don't see them." Chan suggests, breaking up that tension between the couple.
"Do you even know where they are?" Felix asks, questioning whether if that is even possible.
"Well, Seungmin seems to be coming here soon to play against Minho," Malfoy announces, showing them the newspaper.
All of a sudden, Ella shows up in the office, with her clothes all ripped and with large holes, with her hair looking like a birds nest and pissed with life. Everyone shuts up and just follow her with the eyes as she fights with her unstable case and goes sit in a random chair near the others. She notices the looks of everyone, and everyone looks away. Chan was still distracted by the newspaper and didn't notice Ella.
"What about Jeongin?" Chan asks, making probably one of the biggest mistakes of his life.
Everyone stood in silence and with their eyes wide open like they were predicting Chan's death. The poor guy gets confused for not having a response from anyone until he notices Ella looking to him with fire in her eyes. Chan's breath gets taken away and his heart tightens. He stands still and quiet, trying to think of something to change the subject.
"Why are we talking about Jeongin, there's nothing more interesting to talk about?!" Ella blasts off.
"W-We were planning a meeting between everyone..." Chan explains, with a knot on his throat.
"You all have fun then." Ella already refuses.
"No no, Missy. You are also coming. I don't care if I have to drag you across a room. You know I will." Alese tries to convince the brunette, being more serious and scary than her.
"I'm going inside my case to take care of my beasts if you want to drag me across the room, go ahead... ZouWu already did that, I'm used to." Ella shrugs, not caring about the meeting at all, and going down her case.
"Wait!" Felix doesn't let her close the case, "Where are Jisung and Hyunjin?"
"Sweden. Looking for beasts." Ella replies and goes down to close the case, "Oh, by the way, when you all leave to go home, please leave my case at my door... "
Alese confirms to the girl that she'll do that, and finally she goes to take care of her creatures. Chan and Felix spent the day reaching out to the boys. Ella went to check all the beasts she keeps in her case, so she could protect them, she smiles looking at Thunderbird, but she was still confused how a creature like this from North America end up in London, scared and lost. She gets closer to the table to get the food ready for them and sighs thinking how hard the last weeks have been. How lost and lonely she feels, and how that seems to be a joke to everyone. Some hours later, it was time to go home. The Aurors clean their desks, grab their jackets and leave. Chan goes downstairs with the group, holding Ella's case so he could leave her at home before he went to his home. They leave the Ministry of Magic and Chan makes his way to Ella's house, he places the case on the floor and knocks.
Ella stops feeding ZouWu and goes upstairs.
"Ella, can we talk?" Chan asks giving her a hand to get out of the case.
She nods her head and grabs his hand, getting out of the case, "Sure. What is it?"
"No matter how stubborn you are, you were part of our group of friends at Hogwarts, I know you haven't been okay since Jeongin," Chan tries to understand Ella's pain, and touches again in her ex-boyfriend name, "But you can't shut everyone away. Please drop the attitude for one day."
"I miss him, Chan..."
