Cormac felt his eyebrows raise with every word that fell out of Weasley's mouth. For a few moments after Percy was finished, he couldn't think enough to talk.
He opened his mouth, and the first thing that came to mind was, "You and Cass are fucking?" He couldn't keep the disbelief from his voice, not because he didn't think Weasley was attractive in his own way, but he'd never pegged the man for sleeping with his employees. He shook his head to clear his mind. "And Cass' mum's a muggle, probably dead, and Cass let himself be blackmailed. Is this what you're telling me?"
His mind was still racing, but he was starting to get a clearer picture. "I...I need to think a little," he admitted. But he already knew he was going to accept. No way was he going to let this come out and ruin the department. Because if it did come out, Umbridge would have no trouble taking over. "Okay, I've thought it over. I'll do my best to handle this discretely and I promise your relationship with Cass won't see the light of day unless it's unavoidable."
There was one thing he still didn't understand though. "Does this mean...are you and Cass together?"
