The Ghoul Task Force

"Why do you want to become one of us?" The leader asked on my job interview.

"It seems like an interesting job," I said with a smiling face but inside I was pleading that he won't accept me. My father was part of this so he now expects me to be part of it.

"What did you say about your name, again?"

"Jane Maria Malfoy."

I saw his eyes light up and almost puked. You see, my father became part of this shit because of his Death Eating history. No one would give him a job except them. Wonder why?

"You are hired!" He said with a big smile.

"Great," I said with what I hoped was an enthusiastic smile. I never wanted to cry as much as now. Why the hell did he hire me?

oOoOo

I wanna kill myself, I wanna kill myself, I wanna kill myself. Yes, I do.

Isn't that a nice song? I think it should be made an anthem for I do not want to work here but I do everything to please my father. I just hope he won't add some bonus to this like something as idiotic as an arranged marriage.

I wanna kill myself, I wanna kill myself, I wanna kill myself. Yes, I do.

oOoOo

My job day looks like this.

I get up.

I eat.

I pray I won't have to do paperwork that day.

I get to the job.

I find out I have to do paperwork.

I want to cry.

I do paperwork.

I go home.

I have a shower.

I eat something sweet to lessen the pain of today's job.

I drop dead in my bed.

It is a never ending loop and I want it to end.

oOoOo

It ended! Yes! Today we went to actually do our job and not to stay in office and do the paperwork other departments didn't want. I wanna do a happy dance.

So, it went like this. I came into the office and our team was called to the Head's office…

"We've got information that a ghoul placed itself inside Hogwarts walls. Your job is to go and see if it will harm students or professors. If it will, extract it from there immediately. If it won't, offer the professors that the ghoul stays there as a live example for students to study. Got it?"

"Yes sir!" we said loud and clear.

Did I say that I am happy? We have something useful to do!

Next, we travelled to Hogwarts by apparating to Hogsmeade and then walking. I tried to not look as if I was a bulb of happy feelings because Malfoys do not look like that.

We've had a talk with the Headmistress etc. There was a bit of surprise at seeing me but it passed… eventually… maybe?

Anyway, we got to the ghoul and found out he could be harmful. We got rid of it by killing it. If the Head asked we'd say that he wasn't cooperating and not that he too bad smelling so we decided to shorten our pains. What an ugly smell.

oOoOo

In the end, I have to say that I prefer the paperwork to the work on terrain. At least I do not smell after it and I must say that my dad was right, it is a good job. Especially since I get paid as much as an Auror and don't do a thing because ghouls are gentlemen that cooperate.

The End
