Cedric shifted and glanced up at the clock on the wall. Six o'clock - well past time to knock off. Marking the story (a piece on the new Comet line: prognosis was that maybe these actually weren't as terrible as the rest) on his desk as 'ready for publishing,' he set the story in the 'Out' box and pushed out of his chair, striding over to the coat rack where staff cloaks hung and slinging it around his shoulders. He bid good-bye to the people who were still in, then braced himself to go out into the cold air of a London evening.
From the Prophet offices, it was only a few steps to his favorite pub (thank Merlin; it was freezing outside), a small, cozy hole-in-the-wall where people learned your name but didn't necessarily pry. Cedric liked that; he liked being greeted by name but that they didn't bother asking how he was. He smiled and ordered his usual, a pint of bitter, then glanced around. All the tables were full. Sighing, he shook his head and navigated through the tables to one that was slightly less full than the others, and smiled at the occupant.
"Sorry," he said, "everywhere else is full up. Mind if I sit here?"
