Re: Stephen-Charlie
Stephen could see the temporary confusion. "How many people have been talking to you?" he asked, chuckling. "I've been a politician's son for too long not to know the signs."
He sat down and smiled. "I'm here to steal one of your dragon keepers, or if we want to be accurate, Bill is, so you can blame him. I'm working on a special project for the DoM, something... something connected to Dumbledore's death. I know you're stretched thin there, but this is extremely important and I wouldn't ask if there were alternatives." He stopped for a moment. "Still no luck with the dragons? Won't they take them back?"
