In a remote section of the Ministry of Magic, there is a small department called the Fan Fiction Regulation Office. It is at the bottom of the Ministry pecking order and the positions in it are generally unwanted by even the lowest ministry officials. However, people are always found to fill the job, though they are usually underage and incompetent, which accounts for the amount of bad fan fiction we have around here. It's a tough and low-paying job and, because it's mostly for the benefit of Muggle FF readers, it's considered unimportant. However, the Minister always keeps the department so that the Magical World is not completely insulted by outrageous Mary-Sues and wild, pointless plots.

Lein Xu walked into her boss' small, cluttered office one morning. She was a 23 year old, Chinese woman who needed the money enough to do a job so degrading and unending. She was also late.

"Xu! We've been waiting for thirteen minutes! You can't just expect time to stop for you, especially not in the crazy world of Fan Fiction. This is Cora Newaters. She'll be working with you for a time."

Lein looked at Cora and did a double take. The girl must have been only twelve years old. She refrained from commenting with difficulty, "What's the Story?"

"It's a nasty one, but it's pretty common. From the summary given there is implausible coupling, inappropriate actions, two or more Mary- Sue's, and people hugely out of character. You know what to do. Try and be gentle, though, as this is the author's first offense."

Lein nodded, though she was in no mood to be gentle about anything.

"Cora is very new. That's why I'm pairing her with you. You may have to explain some things along the way," he said. Lein again looked at the little girl in amazement. She was rather plain with brown hair and large brown eyes.

"I'll just go get the supplies, then," Lein said and headed to her office. She returned a minute later with a bag slung over her shoulder and a notebook in hand. This notebook she shoved into Cora's hands, "You'll be recording what goes on," she said with a subtle Chinese accent.

With a wave of the boss' wand, a swirling vortex of black and purple appeared in the wall. Over it read: "Hermione's Fatal Confusion" by Fallen Dark Goddezz

Lein rolled her eyes at the title and author and then dove through, Cora right behind her.

A/N-I stole this whole idea somewhere, but I really wanted to write this. If anyone could identify whom I took the idea from, I would really appreciate it. I want to give the credit to them! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this brief intro. If anyone wants to give me ideas on what "Hermione's Fatal Confusion" should include, I would love some ideas (not like I don't have plenty of my own)! Review please! I should be updating very soon!
