HP drabble: Caretaker [Filch, Dumbledore, general]
Title: Caretaker
Author: celandineb
Fandom: HP
Characters: Filch, Dumbledore
Rating: general
Summary: Argus Filch needs a job.
Note: snegurochka_lee suggested that non-Terminus-goers might challenge themselves by writing characters or pairings they disliked, and suggested I write Filch.
Wanted: Caretaker for Hogwarts. Squib preferred. Apply to Headmaster Dumbledore by 30 June.
The advert practically leapt from the pages of the Daily Prophet as Argus flicked through it. He wrote his letter of application that day.
"Why a Squib?" Try as he might, Argus's voice cracked on the last, hated word.
"Ah." Dumbledore leaned back comfortably, his eyes twinkling. "Students often have poor control of their magic. If the cleaning and maintenance were done magically, the interactions could be unpredictable, but a Muggle would be unsuitable for the position."
Argus nodded. It made sense. "I can start right away."
