It's been a hectic couple of days, at the Ministry of Magic. Nymphadora has slowly been excavating her desk from the detritus that accumulated whilst she was gone, which was considerable even though she owled work in from home nearly every day.
Right now all she wants is a cuppa and a biscuit, but it's not quite teatime. Suck it up, Tonks, she tells herself sternly, and scribbles furiously at the report in front of her.

Then, a paper airplane alights on her desk. It's not the usual sort of paper airplane that you see winging around the Ministry. This one was thrown.
Inside, it reads, Hey, baby. Come here often?

Then, very carefully, a purple head peers out into the corridor, looking to the right and to the left.

He's staring.

Date: 2006-09-28 02:28 am (UTC)Allbright, on the other hand, casts a look of exasperation at Bernard from across the room. "Wrangle!" he barks. "Let my Auror do her bloody job!"

Date: 2006-09-28 02:31 am (UTC)Bernard grins unrepentantly. "Far as I can see, you're the one being distracting."
He winks at one mousy, brown-haired new hire peeking over her cubicle to see what the commotion is, and she ducks her head again, blushing.

Date: 2006-09-28 02:41 am (UTC)The tearoom's as busy as it always is, this time of day. The clattering of china and the chattering of scores of people fills the air. Nymphadora sends Bernard off to claim a tiny little table in a corner of the room whilst she procures sustenance.
After a few minutes she appears, balancing a tray crowded with a small pot of tea, two cups and saucers stacked precariously on top of one another, and a plate full of assorted sandwich quarters and biscuits.

Date: 2006-09-28 03:04 am (UTC)Nibbling on a cookie, she glances around at the nearby tables, and drops her voice.
"How's Elektra?"

Date: 2006-09-28 03:16 am (UTC)"She's... God. She's very, very quiet."

Date: 2006-09-28 03:24 am (UTC)Nymphadora sighs, rolling the kinks out her neck, and takes another sip of her tea.
