*Floos into work with her grandson, Teddy; she smiles down at him as she walks through the atrium*

*Huffs in frustration, storming through the crowds of wizards and witches on their way to work, her heels clicking obnoxiously*
The only way they'll ever get it right is if they just listen to me!
*As she makes her way past the fireplaces, she freezes mid-step*
*Sees Andromeda holding a baby in her arms*
*Asks aloud in an insincere tone, too sweet-sounding to be true*
My dear...what, if I may ask, is-
*Points to the little one*
-that?

*Smiles when she sees Dolores, and nods down at Teddy*
This is Teddy, my grandson. Isn't he just the sweetest?
*She says as his hair changes color*
*Giggles at his gift*

*Forces a smile, wondering what in Merlin's name that thing is doing in the Ministry*
Yes, of course he is. Just a little darling, Andromeda!
*Clears her throat, folding her hands*
But my dear, do you think it's wise to have it- him- here? We wouldn't want anything to happen to him, that would be most unfortunate.
*Grins as if something unfortunate happening to the little baby would make her day*

*Smiles, pretending not to notice the hidden meaning behind Dolores's words*
Thank you. I'll have to tell Dora and Remus you said so. Actually, that's why I brought him; I've been watching him for the last few days, and wanted to show him off here before I bring him back to his Mummy. Matter of fact, she should be here somewhere...
*Frowns slightly, wondering if indeed Dora will be at work today; she hasn't heard from her in a while*
But, don't worry. He won't be here long enough for anything to happen. And thank you for your concern.
*Blinks, letting her frown dissolve into another smile*

*Tsks, not trusting a baby to be at the Ministry, especially one who could change colors like that*
I'm, terribly sorry Andromeda-
*Looks at her with an overly concerned expression*
-but I'm afraid he can't wait here, in the middle of the Ministry in times like these...
Accidents happen, and no one here wants to be held responsible.

*Purses her lips and nods*
Of course, I understand. I'll just be off then. I'll take him to see his Mum, and bring him home.
*Smiles again, a bit forcedly*
Thanks, again.

*Nods slightly, as if it was Andromeda's idea all along*
Yes, I think that would be the best decision, my dear.
There needs to be order here, and as long as we're all focused, with no distractions-
*She glances down, implying Teddy*
-things will be much easier, and everyone will be happy.

*Nods again, her eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly*
Yes, I see. Thank you, it's... good to see you again. Hope to see you soon.
*With another forced smile, she takes her leave, heading down to her office first*

*Nods, raising her chin a bit in satisfaction. Of course Andromeda would agree, who wouldn't? It was her idea, and there must be order in these hectic times*
*She silently watches as the other witch walks off, lofting one eyebrow. For some reason, she suddenly wonders if Andromeda will listen to her afterall. Making a mental note to check up on the situation later, she turns and continues in the direction she was going in earlier*
