The cuckoo clock was watching him.
Frank had gotten the muggle clock in Switzerland some years back, and somehow the magical environment had given the thing a few quirks. He had the suspicion it had been charmed as a prank, because whenever he was about to fall asleep the little bird flew out and nipped him on the nose. (This made for some awkward meetings.) He'd been attacked by Doyle, the bird, three times in the past half hour.
"Look," Frank said solemnly, peering up at the clock where Doyle was hidden. "It's not that I don't appreciate your assistance, but could you aim for a different part of my nose the next time? I'm getting a bruise."
The little doors on the clock shifted as if Doyle may come out. Instead, the bird blew a raspberry at him. "I will get back to work, but not because you told me to," Frank sniffed, turning back to his parchment.
He was just about to nod off again when his door opened. Trying to look alert, he straightened to give his visitor a smile that became genuine when he realized who it was.
