Reporting for the Daily Prophet
"-Aurors reported that a handful of Death Eaters had been caught, but not all the ones in the attack. The reported Death Eaters are Bellatrix Lestrange, Barty Crouch Jr., and two others whose names have been disclosed from the media. For more information, turn to page A7." I finished writing my article, setting my quill down. I had three more hours to edit, double edit and send in to my editor, so he could edit and place it in the paper.
I picked up my quill again, and started to reread through my article.
Two hours and three quills later, I stood up, stretched my legs, picked up my article and headed to my boss's office. I could have just sent it to him, but from sitting all day, I felt I needed to get up and walk. I knocked on his door.
"Come in."
I opened the door and walked in. "Here's my article, I've been through it a few times, it should be ok."
"I'm sure it will be wonderful! But I do have some news, it could be bad, could be good, depends on your point of view. I'm going to have to send you to the sports department, they're lacking a lot of people right now, and they asked for someone to report for them, and I decided to send you."
I'm not stupid, I got his hidden message. Being sent to the sports department is one of the worst insults ever. The sports department of the Daily Prophet is absolutely HORRID! They send the people they're going to get rid of there. I don't know what my boss had against me, I never did anything wrong, everything I was supposed to. But, you know what; it'll be nice to get out of this rat trap anyway! I don't care! I've never liked it here anyway, all the depressing news going around with Voldemort.
Maybe it's because I use his name in my reports my boss is sending me away. I think that is entirely stupid, fear of a name increases fear of the person, and that's just what Voldemort wants.
Any case, I'm leaving this place, sent to the sports department. I'll just make the best of my last days at the Daily Prophet.
