Percy dabbed his forehead as he walked through the crowded atrium. It was becoming a shark tank around the Ministry and a lot of You-Know-Who supporters were rallying. With his reign made public, Fudge had been sacked and Percy was very close to losing his position. He didn't want that to happen. He had turned his back on his family for his job and if he lost it, he had nowhere to go.

He knocked on the door of his current superior, trying to remind himself that this was for the greater good, he had already done so much that this was nothing more.

"Come in," she said.

He stepped into her lurid pink office, the kitten plates on the wall meowing on his entry as he watched her admiring the violet scarf he had delivered to her. "I do appreciate the gift, Percy," she said.

"I hoped you would, Dolores," he said as he stepped up to her.

She grinned and used the scarf to pull him closer, his face only inches away from hers. "Let me show you how much," she said softly.

As her lips moved with his, he kept reminding himself, It's for the greater good.
