WHO: Kingsley Shacklebolt & Andrew Cresswell WHEN: Thursday afternoon, July 28, 1997 WHERE: DMLE WHAT: Andy needs some paperwork signed by Kingsley that was missed when he turned it in. RATING: TBD, but probably low. OPEN/CLOSED: Closed
Andy didn't want to do what he was about to do. He was good at pretending that everything was fine when he was at work. Of course more often than not that was because he avoided one specific Auror as much as he possibly could. Every once and awhile though it was impossible and today just happened to be one of those days. A pile of paperwork was dropped on his desk with orders barked at him from his boss to get Auror Shacklebolt to sign those ASAP and to not come back to the office without them signed! He tried to beg off and get someone else to do it, stating that he was busy as he had a lot of other things to do and he was positive that someone was heading that way who could do it...
Unfortunately for Andy though no one was willing to do it for him. He denied trying to get out of it for reasons concerning Shacklebolt. Instead he spent the rest of the morning wandering around doing a little of this and that to try to avoid what he was told to do. Of course when his boss snapped at him again when he saw him wander by that afternoon he knew that he couldn't put it off any longer. Damn damn double damn. He'd just have to buck up and do it! He was a professional and he could be professional around Kingsley! No, Shacklebolt. He just needed to pretend like he was nothing other than another colleague. Time to do it.
"Auror Shacklebolt," Andy called out, approaching the other man's desk with a straight face. "I have some papers here that I need your signature on."
