Fuck Higgs. Humphrey had sort of known it was a mistake to rile the older Slytherin as soon as the words had left his mouth, but since when had he ever taken a step back from catastrophe in the nick of time? Not when he'd had both alcohol and other drugs, at any rate.
Fuck Higgs again for actually instigating a fight, and then having the cheek to apologise and say next time he'd sue. Honestly Humphrey had been expecting the latter, and even that was only if Higgs was vindictive enough to sue someone who's got no money.
Which he clearly was, Humphrey cursed, if the fight had been anything to go by. He'd been aching long and hard since then. He'd been given the Monday off - no pay, of course - because he couldn't bear the thought of being upright. He'd come to accept he'd have to crawl into work on Tuesday at all costs because even a meagre wage was better than nothing and he certainly couldn't grift in his condition, when stumbled on a miraculous cure.
It turned out all he needed was to mix Derrick's finest in with whatever else he had lying handy and the pain would go away. Truly stupendous. If he could only remember exactly what he'd mixed he could make a fortune off the formula.
Humphrey had been disappointed not to see Audrey around when he entered the Jewel. No free papadums, then. Still, his first proper meal in ages was something to look forward to. Humphrey looked cheerful enough at the counter and on exit, oblivious to the trail of blood he'd left on the floor.
