“Don’t worry about it, I can make it until my shift’s over and after that I have plenty of time to hibernate for a bit. Thanks though.” He propped his chin up in his hand, elbow on the counter, as he listened. “Yeah, alright. I agree on all counts, but honestly I doubt that ‘someone’ will be me. My slot’s in the middle of the night, and it’s technically a show about herbology,” Not that he’d ever really been able to stick to just talking about plants for the entire time, “so it’s not exactly people’s first choice for cutting political commentary. I can drop in something about their bias, and agenda-driven reporting- it’s not as if things haven’t skirted around political on the show before.” 

Lily chuckled. “Of course you of all people would call sleep hibernate.” She tilted her head to the side. “But that’s exactly why it’s perfect! Not many people are listening at that hour so they won’t notice right away. We can sneak in a few things at first, subtly, and then when people start paying attention it can evolve to something else. Think about it, you could both gain audience and make a difference! I mean, it’s a risky idea but I doubt The Prophet will just take you out of the air if you prove you’re making good money or whatever they want from you.”

“It’s not gross,” Fabian testified with a big smile, it was one of their frequent disagreements, one that stretched back to when they first started dating and she was absolutely disgusted to see him saving half a perfectly good pizza to go cold. “I would even argue it’s the best way to eat a pizza,” he concluded, a happy laughter following. “We can talk, it’s been a while since we caught up with one another. Nothing really, I took a friend back home from a club last night, not like that, she was just really out of it and needed to rest it off.”

Lily rolled her eyes playfully. “Whatever you say. You’re going to come tell me I was right when an infestation of bugs invades your flat.” She was overreacting, she knew, but she had always teased Fabian that way when it came to his eating habits. Her eyes widened and she beamed, moving closer to him in order to show interest. “You need to tell me all about it, even if it wasn’t like that. Who is she? Do I know her? Do you fancy her? Does she fancy you?”

“Isaac? No way, he’s disgusting. You know Andrew caught Isaac peeing on his desk? At work, some weird marking his territory thing.“ She shuddered at the thought. “Ugh, you’re so much better company. What’s new?”

“Wait- what? First, who’s Andrew and second why would someone ever do that?! Only dogs do that. Bertha that’s disgusting!” Lily shook her head, still in disbelief. “Nothing much. I’m back to work and my boss is still being insufferable, and I think James is hiding something from me.”

“Medical issues. Apparently a cut off leg can still hurt. Brilliant, right?” he replied from his seat at his desk as he sniffed the bottle she brought him. “We’re done, thank you. Speak of this to no one.”

Her eyes widened. “Of course a cut off leg can still hurt! Especially if you’re using a replacement!” Lily inhaled and exhaled deeply, getting ready to help. However, her preparation got cut off by him kicking her out of the office. “Uhm- I’m really really sorry about this and I don’t think I’ve ever told you this but no. I’m not going. I’m officially disobeying your order, yes, and I’m firm about it.”

“Overreacted! Says the girl that almost dropped dead and was convulsing so hard nobody in the stupid hospital knew what the fuck happened with her or what spell was she hit with, please. I’ll live, Lils, calm the fuck down. I still sleep, just not continuously, it’s cool,” she shrugs, then rolls her eyes. Why wouldn’t James meet with whoever the fuck he said he was meeting? The business world is weird like that anyways, it’s a perfectly reasonable excuse! “I don’t know, but if he is, don’t you think he’s doing that shit himself already? I mean, if he tells you he’s getting back and then he doesn’t get recruited, then he has to tell you he didn’t, and you know how his ego is. But if he doesn’t tell you anything and it doesn’t happen, he can just… pretend he didn’t do it at all,” Marlene nods, trying to follow the logic. Keep Lily away from guessing anything else than Quidditch seems like the best idea anyway. “I’m not, I just said it’s weird, it’s just… not suspicious kinda weird, you know? It’s the regular kind.”

“You’re supposed to sleep continuously! Ask any healer and they will tell you the same thing.” She rolled her eyes. “Fine, perhaps you didn’t overreact completely but still you didn’t need to take turns to stay with me or whatever. Edgar was wrecked and he got to leave the hospital before I did. That’s unfair. My bones weren’t broken.” Lily sighed. “Yes, I understand he doesn’t want to bruise his ego if he doesn’t get recruited or something like that but this is a thing he should say his girlfriend! Especially the girlfriend he lives with and the one he accidentally drunk proposed to once!” She huffed. “What if he doesn’t trust me anymore? I mean, is this a problem? Are we losing communication as a couple? Do we need to talk to someone? Do I need to talk to him about this? Do I need to tell him a secret so he will tell me a secret as well? Oh help, I think I’m spiralling.”

Millicent smiled slowly as she realized what Lily had said, she had sworn she heard something much more absurd. “Oh – Don’t be sorry.” she paused. “Uhm, let me see.. I got an internship within the Ministry, and a year laterI got a job within the Department of International Magic Cooperation. Through that job I specifically helped the minister with international affairs, and he apparently liked my work and wanted me as his personal secretary. That’s truly the short version of the story.” she admitted. 

Lily nodded, analysing the path Millicent had described in her mind. She made it sound so easy, but there wasn’t much she could do stuck with a boss like hers. “How do you get to specifically help the Minister? I mean, I often talk to the muggle Prime Minister down at Muggle Liaison but that news barely reach the upstairs offices.”

Tilden waved a hand vaguely, “Technically I did sleep for a bit. Doesn’t really feel like it though.” He straightened on his seat behind the counter and let out a quiet considering hum, sleepiness momentarily replaced with interest. “That depends on what you had in mind. Don’t get me wrong, the Prophet is almost horrifyingly easy to trash, but I’m not exactly keen on them getting me fired. It’d be a fine line.” 

“Do you want me to go and get you some coffee? There’s a pretty good place nearby. I could go there and back in like two minutes if it’s not too packed.” Lily tilted her head to the side. It was indeed quite the anarchic idea. “Not trash, trash perhaps but getting a little sidetracked of their agenda? They never report the full truth. They are refusing the acknowledge Voldemort’s existence and they trash the Auror department every chance they’ve got, making Rodolphus Lestrange look like an angel on Earth. Someone needs to change that.”

Tilden had only gotten home in time for a two hour power nap after hosting his show at the Wizarding Wireless Network the night before, and so really it was hardly a surprise that he was half asleep where he sat. Blinking furiously, he looked up with a slightly sheepish grin, “Sorry, I didn’t catch that.” 

Lily practically stormed into the apothecary to find Tilden there. She didn’t really notice his state at first, but once she didn’t get a reply right away, she realised how sleepy he looked. “I’m so sorry. You didn’t sleep at all, did you? I was asking if it would be too anarchist of you to trash The Prophet a little bit on your show.”

Her gaze averted from the window in front of her to the individual sitting next to her. She was hardly sure they had intended on talking to her specifically, or she had just heard them wrongly. Whatever words they said, they sounded utterly bizarre. “ Excuse me – What did you just say?”

[coffeedisorder-blog]

“Oh, I’m terribly sorry.” Lily startled a bit, not wanting to sound rude. “I didn’t mean to be that forward. I’m only asking what you used to do before becoming the Minister’s secretary because I want to follow a similar path.”

“Ooh I’m so glad you could come!” Hestia gushed. “What’s your favourite tea? We can get it prepared for you right now with the help of our magical assistants! I mean they’re just waiters that parents for the day, but, you know, magical.” 

[coffeedisorder-blog]

“Thank you for inviting us!” Lily smiled, looking around. “The place looks lovely! I didn’t know there were so many variations of tea. It’s truly wonderful. Perhaps black tea? Or earl grey?” She chuckled. “Honestly, whichever has more caffeine in it.”

“It’s nothing, okay? My schedule got fucked over at St Mungo’s, that’s all, I didn’t want to say because I know you’re going to start giving me some ‘I told you so’ lecture about how you didn’t need a guard dog around you all the time and how I should’ve gone home from the first day and blah blah blah, so… save it. I’m fine and it’s nothing, it’ll go back to normal,” she shrugs stubbornly and then laughs at the cat thing. How funny would it be if he was that smart though? Never worry about your cat again, it feeds itself. Amazing. “Oh, the— wow, that’s weird, yeah.” Marlene frowns and nods. Shit, couldn’t that asshole have changed somewhere else? A lie, she needs a good lie. “Maybe he just wanted to look fancy for the business people or something,” she shrugs, “you know, so they’ll think he’s professional or whatever and they stop thinking of him as a fucking kid. Maybe. And you know he doesn’t want you to know if he’s being insecure about some shit like that because James is… well, James. Insecure it’s not his thing, so maybe he was embarrassed.” That’s good, right? “I wouldn’t worry too much about it, what’s he gonna do with a fucking suit anyways? Go elope with someone else? As if I’d let him do that shit, please.”

“That’s totally not nothing! And I’m going to say I told you so anyway because you and James were worried over nothing, you overreacted and now it’s taken a toll on your health!” Lily huffed, rolling her eyes. She was going to have to talk about this with James later. Yet another thing to discuss with him. At Marlene’s words, she cocked an eyebrow. It sounded almost as if she was covering for him. “Why on Earth would James’ boss want him to meet Quidditch people who make business? Wait- do you think he’s trying to play again? Get back in the game? I mean, that would be wonderful but why wouldn’t he tell me about it? It’s not like I’m going to pressure him or be disappointed if things go wrong.” She frowned. “It just seems like a ridiculous secret to keep from me.” She crossed her arms. “Yes I know he’s not eloping with someone else! But you can’t deny the whole thing is weird!”

Despite her reassuring tone, there was still a tint of colour to Fabian’s cheeks. “No, no, I’m not worried, I know you’ve seen everything, it’s just- well you know,” he laughed self consciously, sitting up straight and closing the lid of the pizza box. “Cold pizza is the best, I couldn’t think of a better habit to have. You know I eat half of it when it’s hot then put the rest into the fridge so I can eat it cold later? Is that sad?…That sounds sort of sad when said aloud.” Fabian returned a smile, “you already know that I think you’re the best, it goes without saying.”

Lily offered him a warm smile, because yes, she did know. She would most likely have the same reaction if he had caught her with her hair up, stuffing her face with her mother’s lemon cakes. She laughed. “Yes, I did know that, and I still think it’s gross.” There was something about the taste of cold pizza that made her stomach turn upside down. “Thank you, I do try.” She batted her eyelashes jokingly and sat back on the sofa. “So what are we watching? Or are we just going to talk and sit here for a while? Oh! Tell me, did you do something yesterday since today you were off work?”
