Rating: PG
Status: Ongoing
Canteen food is, was and always will be mediocre. At best. Too many options, for too many people. But the real appeal of lunch hour at the Ministry was the break from the monotony of the day. Ron's job was relatively interesting. The people stories were usually interesting but it was still the same steps toward resolving the issue, every time. If one was to meet a friend for lunch, that monotony was completely eliminated, as nobody likes eating alone. But as they say, time flies.
Ron left his office a few minutes later than he would have liked. He would still take a full hour but the lines would be built up and his overall eating time would be reduced by about seven minutes. That kind of research and calculation would hardly be necessary but today was the weekly Ministry Lunch Council meeting. Councilman Longbottom would be arriving soon and Councilman Weasley needed his reports to be ready.
Ron made it to the end of the line in six minutes and 51 seconds. An acceptable figure, considering the margin of error on his figure was 12 seconds. The hot lunch options were a chicken breast on a bed of wild rice or clam linguine. The choice was obvious. The chicken would leave Ron hungry later on but that was normal. Ron would do anything to avoid eating... Clam. Linguine.
