RP: Moody/Harry Who: Alastor Moody and Harry Potter Where: Hogwarts When: Wednesday, 17 February, 2025, evening Rating/Warnings: Summary: Alastor makes excuses to check up on his boss.
Pettigrew was being released. They still didn't have a lead on Selwynn. Miss Potter was still AWOL. But, it was about as quiet as the office was likely to get for who knew how long. So, Alastor deemed it a decent enough time to shock the hell out of the staff by closing up his reports and leaving...before midnight.
Of course, he could justify it as checking up on his men at Hogwarts.
If he were actually going to see any of the Aurors there or get reports.
But, he wasn't.
Alastor was, instead, going to take the drastic measure of making a personal call on one of the castle's residents. That said resident happened to be his commanding officer was convenient for his excuse as well. That said commanding officer was convalescing and not expected back to work for some time yet was counter to that. But, Alastor would shrug that off.
He'd actually gotten to like Potter during the few weeks since he'd been working for him. Though he'd never admit to the sentiment if questioned, he was rather glad the man wasn't going to die.
Knocking perfunctorily, he poked his head inside the door to Potter's quarters much as he would have the door in the office -- after a quick scan to make sure he wasn't actually interrupting anything. Smirking, he said by way of greeting, "Just so you know, taking vacation like this without my permission is not going to fly a second time, Sir."
