Rating: Worksafe
Summary: Percy has a problem, Theodore has a solution. Whether the solution is "real" is a matter of how one defines "real." Yes, I totally did get postmodern on you.
After walking through the guest entrance and checking in with the guard as outlined in the return owl Theodore headed towards Percy Weasley's office at the Ministry of Magic. He took care to remove the Sneakoscope from his own briefcase in case someone would manage to put one and one together. The assessments had turned up negative, and Theodore's own sense on the matter had determined that there weren't any curses on Percy. That determination wasn't really helpful for himself though as he had found that the nightmares were having their toll on him. And then there was the day after the Chambers' party--he was fairly sure that he hadn't had too much to drink as he wasn't by habit a heavy drinker but it felt like a hangover and his body reacted accordingly.
Those sorts of excuses weren't things that worked for one whose livelihood depended on contract after contract. He needed to work well at least some of the time. And that seemed less and less possible under the circumstances. He needed to figure out what to do about the 'nightmares', but found himself stuck as he continued to feel unwell.
However if he were to put on a good show he may be able to turn over a large profit this time around, he figured. The man had previously appeared to be quite convinced of the presence of a curse, and was determined to have it removed. And Theodore had found just the obscure curse that was called for in such a situation, and had figured out what he'd do to remove it and be convincing in such an enactment. He was actually rather talented in non-verbal magic, which did help.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Weasley," he said as he briskly walked into Percy's office after being let in by an assistant. "I'm glad that you are available at this point. As you may have already known and realized, this is a rather serious matter." He paused for effect and to observe the sort of reaction he'd get from Senior Undersecretary.
