Rp: A strong shoulder to cry on
Date: 14 September 1997
Characters: Janelle Dorny & Caleb Warrington
Location: Leaky Cauldron
Status: Private
Summary: Janelle lost her job and Caleb offered her a shoulder to cry on.
Completion: Complete

It was still early yet to receive word from any of the few resumes she had dropped off on Saturday, and she was sure there would be a checking of blood status for good measure, after all they didn’t want some muggleborn working for them under their nose with the way the Ministry regulations were going. Janelle needed company she needed someone to cheer her up and who better than an old friend and housemate to the job.

Janelle had arrived to the Leaky Cauldron a few minutes before their meeting time. She found them a table and placed her order for a glass of wine. She even asked for a clean glass, as she felt it necessary and didn’t care if it was deemed as impolite. She waited at the table for Caleb and her glass of wine in a clean glass.

	It was easy to spot Janelle. She was the one in the corner with the stormcloud over her head. Caleb stopped at the bar for a pint and then strolled to her table where he refrained, barely from flopping into the empty chair. Chairs generally complained when he did that. "Cheer up, Dorny. It could be worse." (Reply to this) (Thread)

"I suppose, I could be a muggleborn," Janelle said with a glum tone as she looked up as her glass of wine was brought. "Thank you," she said cooly to Tom as she brushed her thumb over the rim of the glass before taking a sip.

"Thank you for coming Caleb," she flashed him a glance with only her eyes without so much as lifting her head. "I just don't want to find another job, I liked my job even if it was a crap one." Janelle liked the tips, the conversation with the old pure witches that came in every day to the same table at the same time.

	He shrugged. "Any time, Janelle." "I know. Although why you enjoyed old biddy witch central is beyond me." He watched her carefully. She was more down at the mouth than he could remember her being in quite a while. "You'll find something better and with a company that has the right background." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I didn't think I was going to enjoy it either but some of those old gals have quite the stories," Janelle forced a smile at the memory. "You're right though I will find another job and something better. I was told of a front desk position at the Prophet." Janelle thought she would fit just right in at a position like that. "I am applying on Monday." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He took a long pull at his pint. It had been a long week and tomorrow would start another one. He didn't object to the Ministry's new objectives; he just wished they'd slow down about it. "The Prophet?" he raised a single expressive eyebrow. "Really. That's not bad." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It is the best job I have found right now and definitely one I don't want to pass up," Janelle couldn't be choosy with her employment otherwise she would be out on her butt with all her things if she couldn't make her rent. She probably had two months saved up tat was if she didn't spend anything. Financial planning was not her strongest suit.

"Enough about me, how are you?" She didn't exactly want to dwell on her situation too much tonight.

	"The same as it has been all year. Training, training and more training. At least the book work is mostly done and I'm out in the field now." And if rumors were correct, he would be out hunting running Muggleborns sooner or later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well at least you are out in the field now," Janelle said as she ran her index finger along the rim of her wine glass, and eventually just let her hand fall. "So how are the Ministry changes affecting you?" Janelle didn't know much about the changes besides for what the paper was talking about and what she overheard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It hasn't yet." He waved his hand in a throw away gesture. "It's not like they can question my blood status." He drained him pint and signaled for another. "As far as the rest goes, I have yet to receive my marching orders. But I am a Hit Wizard. I'm sure you can guess what those orders will be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No that is one thing they can't," Janelle nodded her head before sipping at her wine. She placed her glass back down and nodded her head. "I can guess what those orders would be. Do they bother you?" Janelle was curious as to how he felt about the idea of having to hunt down Muggleborns. Janelle had this feeling it would not be a bother to her.

	"Not particularly. I just hunt down who I'm told to bring in. The rest is up to the system." If the Muggleborns were stupid enough not to flee the country before it came time for their trials, what happened to them was their own fault. The writing had been on the walls for months now.

	"Well that is a good outlook, and I have a similar view." Janelle really did see it as their own ruddy fault if they were dragged in punished for running. "I think we should move on to a more cheerful subject don't you think." Janelle looked at her wine glass and held it up to signal she wanted another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're looking to me for a cheerful topic?" he asked incredulously. Cheerful and Caleb Warrington did not generally go together. "Um, you seeing anyone?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
