This case was going to be the death of her. This case was the reason Lavender had gone into the Hit Wizards instead of the Aurors.

I'm not cut out for investigating, Lavender lamented, resisting the urge to simply flop all over her desk and paperwork in a fit of Friday afternoon ennui. The Crup fighting ring case was going nowhere and she would have cried about the frustration of it if she hadn't been made of slightly sterner stuff. There wasn't even anyone in the office who would be good at helping her relieve the tedium for the next few hours until she could go home and enjoy her weekend off. Hopefully a weekend without work would provide a little clarity.

But...

Lavender grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill. She quickly drew a frankly terrible sketch of a cup of coffee, then decided to label it in case the recipient thought it looked more like a toilet or something. She added three question marks and signed it before prodding it with her wand. The parchment folded itself up neatly into the shape of a paper aeroplane. Lavender threw it towards the door where it glided smoothly out of the office and down the corridor to the Aurors where she knew it would land squarely on Hype's desk.

Sighing, she slumped in her chair. Hopefully he wouldn't be too busy.

Hyperion shuddered dramatically. "Like I said, nastier than they first appear, but yeah I see your point." He sighed and twiddled his spoon for a second. "Have you gone down any of the routes that we're not technically supposed to go down yet," he asked quietly. "You know, like when you enter a house because the door was accidentally blasted off it's hinges and you need to ensure everyone's alright?"

"Hey, my ears aren't so delicate," he defended with mock heat. "Just because I don't do the do as much as some people think I should..." he trailed off and made a face. "Okay fine, I am a bit delicate."

"Everyone's been very supportive of our investigation," Lavender said, sighing. "No one seems shady. And we haven't found any injured Crups lately." She didn't have to say it: whoever was running the ring knew that they were looking and had buried themselves deeper underground.

Lavender grinned. "Luckily, I don't think you're the most delicate person in the department."

Hyperion groaned sympathetically. "I hate that, seriously! I wish criminals would be more open in breaking the law so we could nab them quicker and with less collateral damage, aye? 'Twould be much easier." He made a face and shook his head with a sigh. "Still, that would make the game much more boring."

He lifted his eyebrows at her questioningly. "Oh aye, and who is the most delicate person in my department then? I'm dying to know!"

"Yeah, wouldn't be much of a challenge if they just lined up nicely for us outside the Ministry." As much as she knew they would crack the case eventually, this middle bit where there was nothing to do but wait for more evidence (or for someone to have an amazing brainwave) was rather discouraging.

"Oh, aye," Lavender teased, leaning forwards over her coffee. "Well, I'd say it's a toss-up between my favourite little trainee Hit Wizard who is super adorable and collects ceramic unicorns. Or Harry."
