Flowerpot

Senior Hit-Wizard Harry Potter

"Rule number one, Mister Finnigan," said Harry in an even tone, "always keep the guv'ner waiting."

The son of Seamus had the sense to blush. And together, they apparated to the Ministry of Magic, where a crowd of Aurors and Unspeakables crowded together, quietly discussing the damages inflicted on the entirety of the atrium. Harry's young partner, one Benjamin Creevey, peeled away from the group and approached the raven-haired man.

"Somebody had a go at the Atrium, sir." said Benjamin, gesturing to the room.

Again, in that even tone, Harry said, "Rule number two, Mister Finnigan; always treat the boss as if he were blind and stupid."
