The next day was lovely. Bright sunshine streamed into Reena's
office. As Reena gave some last minute instructions to Remus, the office
door flung open.
"What the hell is this?" Jeff Zane loudly asked, standing in the door frame, waving a piece of parchment wildly in his hands.
"Mr. Zane, I would gladly discuss whatever you wish if you made an appointment with Maggie. I'm in a meeting right now with Mr. Lupin," Reena said calmly.
"I'm not going anywhere until you explain why I received this letter at 6 am this morning," Zane said, as if it were a threat.
Remus glanced at Reena. "I don't mind sharing my appointment with him," Remus said passively.
"Fine." Reena muttered under her breath. She turned to Jeff Zane. Her voice changed drastically to a sharp tone.
"You've been fired. Deal with it Mr. Zane. You were inefficient, didn't follow procedure, and were draining Ministry funds. You should consider yourself lucky that Mr. Julius informed me yesterday afternoon that you wouldn't be fined for fraud. You were given sufficient time to clean out the Shrieking Shack, please leave my office now, I have better things to do than sit and listen to you whine."
Jeff stormed out of the office without another word.
"I'm sorry about that Remus. I think his behavior speaks for himself. Do you have any questions before you start?" Reena asked.
"Just one thing. What resources do I . . ." Remus was cut off abruptly by a loud voice coming from the bustling of the people outside of Reena's office.
"Reena Delton is harboring Sirius Black" Jeff Zane's charmed voice announced in a booming voice to everyone present at the particular Ministry office.
