Preparation Date & Time: 13 October 2002 Post Type: RP Status: Closed: Complete Character(s): Ron Weasley, Stephen Cornfoot Location: Ministry of Magic, Auror Offices Summary: Ron gets Stephen up to speed on a case.
Ron checked to be sure he'd gotten out all the appropriate files, and was glad to see that he had. He'd been a little out of sorts ever since his lunch with Hermione earlier in the day. She had been perfectly lovely and wonderful to see--and steal a few kisses from--but she had also been incredibly worked up about something. He could tell as soon as he saw her and nearly panicked. Luckily, it hadn't been him who had her upset, but when he heard what did, he couldn't help getting a bit worked up himself.
Bloody Cacophony. As if Ginny didn't have enough problems and worries already.
He'd taken the news to Kingsley, who had informed him they couldn't actually do anything about it, but Ron could tell his boss was concerned. This was exactly the sort of thing they'd been hoping against. Sometimes people were so stupid. And it was even stupider than usual, because it wasn't as if they could bloody tell who was sick and who wasn't. They might as well shut down the whole fucking store.
He took a deep breath and pulled out a few photographs, spreading them across his desk. The Hit Wizard who'd been assigned to the case--or one of them, at least--would be here soon, and Ron wanted to be prepared. It was his first cross-team case, and he'd worked particularly hard with this one. He wanted to make sure they caught the bastard.
