RP: All work and no play... Date: 12th January, 2006 Characters: Adrian Pucey, Stephen Cornfoot Location: Hogwarts Private/Public: Private Rating: NC-17 Warnings: None Summary: Adrian receives some shitty news from work. Completion: Complete
Adrian had overheard the news about the benefit in the corridors of the Auror Headquarters and whilst he didn't listen to idle gossip all that much, one part of it had caught his ears. Attendance would be mandatory. The phrase had stuck with Adrian all day and he found himself getting more and more annoyed about it; the last place he wanted to be on Valentine's day was in bloody Hogsmeade with a bunch of co-workers. No, he had plans, plans that he didn't intend to cancel and he'd just have to make Percy Weasley a most generous donation to get himself out of it.
Still smarting over being ordered to do something when he was off-duty, he didn't linger in Hogsmeade after his shift, flying back to Hogwarts and entering the room via the window in the lounge so he wouldn't have to talk to any children.
"Working sucks," he announced to Stephen as he headed into the bedroom to take his Auror robes off, replacing them with jeans and a t-shirt. "I mean, really, when does Weasley get off on running other people's lives?"
