[There's a bit of shaking as Percy fiddles with the phone, getting it in place, and then he appears in frame, peering at it cautiously. When he's certain it's settled, he sits at the desk he's charmed the phone to float in front of, folding his hands on the top. His suit is impeccable: clean, perfectly pressed, tie straight, shirt spotlessly white. His hair, too, is gelled within an inch of its life, and he is, by all appearances, the perfect young professional.]

Good afternoon, residents of the City. My name is Percy Weasley, and I am looking for a gainful employment during my stay here. I am a very organized, detail-oriented, hard worker, with experience in international cooperation as well as working directly with one of the top government officials in Britain. I am an excellent editor and transcriptionist and I have an unmatched mind for rules and regulations. My CV is available on request. Allow me to assure you that if you hire me, you will be getting the very best employee. I look forward to hearing from you.

[A brief smile and a brisk nod, and he ends the transmission.]

If the world ended with inter-office shagging, we wouldn't be having this conversation. I just wanted to mortify Percy, not both of you.

Can you two please stop discussing this? I think I'm going to be ill.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 04:06 am (UTC)
That's what I was looking for.

So, Perce, thoughts on inter-office shagging? What notes really get passed around on those Ministry memos?

While I've no doubt workplace fraternization occurs, Ministry employees are professional enough to keep it away from the actual workplace.

Just because you haven't done it.

[Ginny, just stop right there. Stop it.]
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2012 01:30 am (UTC)
And this conversation is over.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2012 01:32 am (UTC)
[... waaaaaait. Diversion. Is she wrong? Oh Merlin, no, she'd rather be wrong than be right when it comes to Percy and this.]

Haven't you?
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2012 02:09 am (UTC)
I believe I said this conversation was over.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2012 03:41 am (UTC)
You've seen someone in the lifts, I bet.
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 12th, 2012 01:49 am (UTC)
Over.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 12th, 2012 03:47 am (UTC)
That's a yes, then.
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 12th, 2012 04:03 am (UTC)
That is a 'we are not discussing this.'

[...but just for the record, it is a yes.]
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 12th, 2012 05:50 pm (UTC)
Fine.

But I'm just saying—you must've run into that on rounds at Hogwarts all the time!
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 13th, 2012 03:04 am (UTC)
Thank goodness that government officials are more restrained with their hormones than teenagers.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 13th, 2012 04:15 am (UTC)
Another reason why I don't want to be a government official.
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 14th, 2012 02:31 am (UTC)
A shame. I think you'd be good at it.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 14th, 2012 02:44 am (UTC)
Oh, Merlin. I don't know if I should be flattered or horrified.
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 14th, 2012 03:43 am (UTC)
Flattered.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 14th, 2012 03:50 am (UTC)
I'd rather kiss a blast-ended skrewt.
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 14th, 2012 05:14 am (UTC)
That's a rather extreme reaction to a compliment.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 14th, 2012 05:16 am (UTC)
It's a rather appropriate reaction to the thought of working at the Ministry.

I mean, I know you enjoy it and by all means, go ahead. Take my share of enjoying it too, please. It's wasted on me.
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 15th, 2012 06:03 am (UTC)
You're welcome to keep your share. You'll come around to it eventually.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 15th, 2012 06:35 am (UTC)
What makes you so sure?
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 18th, 2012 02:57 am (UTC)
Because it's an excellent career choice, and we've got -

[He waves his hand.]

Sporty types at the Ministry as well.

I hope you're not comparing me to Bagman or something.
