The reception area where all of the witches and wizards that work at the Ministry gather to head to work. The place has a dark wood floor with fireplaces on each side and a peathingy blue ceiling that is inlaid with gleaming golden symbols that may be some kind of a notice board. In the Atrium there is the Fountain of Magical Brethren, and at the far end of the Atrium is the Security desk and a great pair of golden gates that lead to the elevators.
