Harry knew better than to be late for a meeting with Gaskin. The man could probably scare the hide off an ogre just by looking at him too hard. So it was that Harry arrived at Gaskin's office at least five minutes early. There were plenty of rumors already going about the ministry. Between everyone's nightmares and strange visions, there'd been talk of a body found in the Department of Mysteries.
Harry and Roger had already bandied some ideas about that back and forth and was looking forward to not only receiving more information but telling Gaskin what plans of action they'd already discussed. However, he wasn't about to start without Roger, so he just waited until everyone was ready before he did any more than greet the department head.
