    Summary

    “Divorce technically isn’t our only option,” Hermione said absentmindedly. “Malfoy could die within the next two years, for example.”

    Malfoy turned to her, eyes blazing. “Either of us could die, Granger. I don’t appreciate the insinuation of it being me.”

    “I didn’t say it for you to appreciate it. It’s merely a fact.”

    Malfoy turned to Kinglsey. “If nothing else can nullify our impending nuptials, surely Granger exhibiting the markers for premeditated murder should?”

    Granger rolled her eyes. “If I were going to murder you, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to plan it with the Minister For Magic.”

    Malfoy mockingly put his hand against his heart. “Oh, that’s such a relief. I much prefer the idea of being murdered in the spur of the moment. Premeditation is very played out.”

    “Quite literally,” Hermione said.

    Clearing his throat, Kingsley said, “I appreciate that you both have history. Even so, the Wizenmagot has chosen the two of you to marry.”

    “Granger’s intent on putting the ‘death’ in ‘til death do us part, and you want to categorise our dynamic as having ‘history,’” Malfoy scoffed, leaning his head back. “We’re fucked.”

    Summary

    Martin pops it in the recorder, puts his headphones on, and presses play.

    “Statement of Jonathan Sims,” the recorder plays into his ear, hissed and cracking. Jon sounds so tired. “Regarding a childhood encounter with a book previously possessed by Jurgen Leitner.”

    Martin goes still.

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager
