*He knocks on the door.* Mr. Robards? I don't think Rufus Scrimgeour is on his office, so I think I will do my work at my place. Just send any work you need me to do with an owl. *He walks away from the door.*

Hurried steps were heard coming up the hall. Daisy didn't have much news but she needed to speak with Gawain badly... He was the only one in the Ministry, barring Venus, that she knew she could trust and knew she could bring any information she had... It seemed like all her friends were getting in trouble as of late! Her heart beat fast with terror at the very idea. She wished there was something more she could do about it all. She and Venus had briefly spoken of a plan and that terrified her even more, yet of course she was more than willing to do whatever it took to get Ken back!
She rounded the last corner and began to walk down the hallway with purpose toward Gwain's door. She saw a man leaving his office and hessitated slightly. Yet it seemed inevitable that he would see her. A friendly nod was given in his direction, even a small smile cast, but she had to speak with Gawain, and that was main on her mind.

*He had had a rather busy time of late. New arrivals, an attempted break out, an assassination attempt on the Minister. Things were piling up, but for Robards, this was all building adrenalin. It felt good to be back in action.*
*He returned to his desk and began the necessary work regarding recent events.*

The stranger had walked away from the door, and yet for some reason fear sparked in her mind from him... What the heck... She didn't even know him afterall... But she would quickly walk to Robards' door and knock gently upon it. She needed to talk with him desperately and hoped that he wasn't too busy. Of course Daisy wasn't up to speed on Ministry things... She never had any reason to be... Just on what she was worried about surely.
Well she knocked three times gently upon the door, but loudly enough for him to hear... And then she would wait. She hated to bother him again, but it seemed necessary.

*A gentle knock on the door. It certainly had been one thing after another lately.*
Oh bother....
*He sat his quill down and called.*
Come in!

Upon hearing the loud gruff voice, Daisy reached for the doorknob. She had no idea the extent of things on poor Robards' plate... But she was about to place another upon it... It was rather surprising that Daisy responded to such a gruff voice this way... From anyone else she would have run for the hills! But not from him. It was a voice she had quickly grown to trust...
Daisy pushed the door open and took a half step inside. "Good afternoon sir... I hope I could take a moment of your time... If you're not too busy that is..." She ammended, her mousy voice gentle and even somewhat hessitant.

*His arms flew open and a massive smile appeared on his face.*
Daisy! Hahaha! How the devil are you old dear? Of course I'm not too busy for you!

Daisy's cheeks turned slightly pink at his rather enthusiastic greeting of her. She shook her head a little bit. "You won't be so happy to seem me when you find I have no information for you..." Her voice was slightly hollow, quite sad... She had tried to talk to Harry Potter... Reached, him... But failed to enlist his help. But she nodded gently. "I am doing well, thank you... How are you?" She tilted her head a little. She was anxious but that was no reason to toss aside manners.

No word from the boy then? Ah well. Better luck next time eh?
*He had hoped she might pull through, but considering the way of things lately, was not surprised that she had not managed it.*
Myself? A lot on my plate actually. And I don't mean beef and dumplings hahaha.
But don't let that worry you my dear. Come, take a seat. What was it you wanted to talk about?

Daisy shook her head mutely as he guessed what weighed heavily on her mind. "No sir... I mean I got word... He spoke to me but he will not come out of hiding... I'm sorry..." She had tried... Oh how she had pleaded with him in her letters... But no... Nothing. But she and Venus had another plan... Something that would hopefully help. She nodded a little with a small grin at his joke and then shook her head some, suddenly feeling bad about the words she was about to speak.
A quick, wary glance was shot to the door. "Well... I recently received a letter from a friend... He is afraid because he feels there is a man hunting him... A strange German fellow... He said he did not know his name but he had long black hair... And he carries a cane with a snake head ornament... He is afraid that this man means him harm. I don't know who it is... But I fear for his safety. Then again... I fear for everyones safety these days..."
Her eyes turned sad again at this, shaking her head a little. Daisy had a lot on her mind. She needed to talk with Venus again... But she didn't know when she'd get the chance. The plan weighed heavily on her mind. She knew it was a good one... But she also knew that it wasn't a guarentee that she would survive it. And that terrifyed her, yet if it meant a chance to save those she cared about, it was a chance she would take willingly.

*He was again not surprised to hear that Potter refused to come out of hiding. The Dark Lord wanted him dead, and no doubt he still believed that the Ministry wanted to lock him up too.*
*A German, with long black hair and a snake-head cane. He had a pretty damned good guess who that was, but had no idea why he would be hunting a friend of Daisy's.*
Any idea on the name of this German? And, if you don't mind the name of the friend?
*He was aware of the mission between herself and Venus, and though concerned for her, he decided not to say anything about it unless she brought it up.*

Daisy nodded slowly. She was aggrieved that she didn't have any more information for the Ministry... For they were trying to help her get her dear friend back... Oh how her heart longed to see him again safe and sound! It must be aweful for him... But she had come back empty handed. She glanced down at her feet unsure what to say on this matter any longer.
But that didn't last long and the subject changed from that to her new fears for her friend and she bit her lip a little and gave a light shake of her head. "I don't know his name sir, and the friend I speak of is Gilderoy Lockhart. He owled me and told me that he fears that he is being hunted sir." She had no idea that people might be after Gilderoy, or why they would be... Afterall she really didn't keep up on the news at all... And thus it made for a very oblivious little witch. She should... She knew that... But she didn't usually do so.
She bit her lip gently and shook her head. "I'm sorry to bring these troubles to you sir... I just didn't know where else to turn..." Vulnerable brown eyes were lifted to meet Gawain's. She had so much trust in the Ministry that they could help... And that they would get the rest of the wizarding world through these dark dark times.

*He leaned over and squeezed her shoulder reassuringly.*
I think I know who the German is. Don't you worry my dear.
*It took him a moment but he realised what she had just said.*
Gilderoy Lockhart? How does a girl like you happen to be friends with him? You are full of surprises my dear. Were you aware that St Mungos are hoping to take him in for treatment. He's not a well man.

Daisy fought a small smile into place as he squeezed her tiny shoulder in that reassuring manner. She nodded slowly. She felt as if a weight was taken off her. Surely Robards here could protect Gilderoy much better than she could. Afterall she was simply a simple shopkeeper... What was she doing poking her noses into so many affairs... It just didn't seem right or normal... But as a few have seen, there is more than meets the eye to Daisy Ollivander... She nodded, assured that all would be well...
And yet at his next words, those eyes widened in honest surprise. She blinked a few times and shook her head gently. "Oh no sir! I had no idea... He seemed fine when I talked to him. He came into my shop a little ways back and that is how I came to meet him. I didn't know he was being looked for! My appologies sir..." She hoped that wouldn't get her into trouble. But indeed, she had been in contact with Gilderoy at least somewhat over the past short time.

Well.. you weren't to know.
*He smiled warmly at the girl. He was incredibly fond of her. She had pluck.*
As far as I know he hasn't done anyone any harm, but in the state he is in, who knows what could happen.
