As normal, I took an early breakfast in the Great Hall today so that I could reach the Ministry early for the Wizengamot meeting. Severus often reaches breakfast before me, and this day was no exception. More surprisingly, Zachariah and Quirinus were there along with Rolanda and a larger number of early risers than normally come to the first shift of weekend breakfast. I took the opportunity provided to me to approach the topic of Filius' dueling stage, and learned that Filius had already been discussing the idea and soliciting their help, should I sign off on the proposal. I do love it when my staff takes their own initiative.
Severus grumbled and Quirinus was doubtful over how much help he could provide, but I have preliminary agreements from all of them to help. Definitely a productive morning before dealing with obstinate bureaucracy.
