Who: Penelope Weasley & Renée Dawlish
When: November 17th, 2002 (midday)
Where: A small café inside the Ministry
What: With Sophie and the Minister both gone... Penny's been working herself to the bone
Rating: Low
The inner workings of the Ministry seemed so peaceful and unchanged, all things considered, especially when one considered that the upper echelons of the administration were, incidentally, in a state of what could only be considered complete and total pandemonium. Sophie Roper was an invaluable asset to the Minister's team, but he'd managed to exist prior to her ascension to her current position, just as she'd managed to continue keeping the office afloat in his absence. But with both of them gone?
It was a miracle she even made it home in time to have dinner with George in the first place. Thank Merlin for apparition and floo powder; she had no idea how muggles did it, really, having to also factor commutes to and from work into their schedules...
Regardless. The point was that she was laden with a seemingly endless amount of work, which meant that eating could not have been further from her mind. Coffee-- as fuel, as it were-- was far more useful in this instance, a steaming mug accompanying the papers before her as she sat in the small coffee shop. So what if this wasn't the proper sort of lunch break she knew she was technically supposed to take? She hardly had the time to spare.
