He tilted his head to look at her. “Fake errands that require them following the deputy head auror around.” Gabe caught her gaze and gave her a too-sweet smile, before smirking. He leaned back in his seat, reaching over for his coffee. “Well, that’s good at least. That you’re used to them. I can’t tell if I scare them or if they’re just that stupid.” He paused, before shrugging. “Or both.”

»

♕ ---- Dayani opened her container and nodded. “Just, you didn’t get the idea from me. When Mr. Potter retires, I personally would like to keep my position as assistant to the Head Auror.” She rested back in her seat and shrugged her shoulders. “It’s probably a bit of both. The interns just need a bit more of real world experience.”

“Mm. His deputy does, too. Apparently him sending interns to torment me is our version of a normal couple’s sleeping on the couch,” he tilted his head with a smirk, closing the file he was working on in favor of opening another. “You’d think Potter would hire back-ups  that are actually competent, though.” Gabe looked up at her, pulling a face. “The day I get assigned an intern is the day I commit a murder,” he teased. “You seem like you got all settled in, though.”

♕ ---- Dayani wrinkled her nose for Gabe. It certainly sounded something like Jasper would do. “You know, you could always just send them on fake errands to get them out of your hair,” she said as she opened her lunch to see what her grandmother had packed for her. “I went to school with all the ones that Mr. Potter could hire, none of them are competent enough. Least with interns you can mold them to what you need them for.” She glanced up at him and smiled as she nodded. “It helps that I did go to school with most of the aurors in this department. Most of the time, it just feels like another year at Hogwarts.”

“Yay.” He made grabby hands to it. “I knew you were my favorite for a reason.” He took it from her, setting the cup aside long enough to flick his wand towards the door, shutting it. “Please,” Gabe snorted, nodding for her to come in. “I’ve been avoiding them all morning. Which begs the question, if we all simultaneously hate them, why does he keep hiring them?”

»

♕ ---- Dayani simply chuckled and carefully set the lunchpale that she brought with her down on his desk. “Well, one, Mr. Potter, loves the entertainment,” she remarked. She was mostly joking. “And two, I don’t think I have to point out that you all have rather dangerous professions and the ministry needs back ups.” She wrinkled her nose. “Mine isn’t better, I spend all of it at his side making sure he has everything. Thankfully, I got O’s in all my defensive classes.” She chuckled.

“Unless you’re here to give me coffee or something alcoholic, I’d advise you to not.” Gabe tossed the file he was working on aside. “I don’t think my brain can handle anything else.”

»

♕ ---- “I brought coffee,” Dayani said as she offered the auror a smile. “And wondering if you’d like some company on a break because the other people that are available to socialize are the interns and it’s a miracle I haven’t turned them all into disposable matchboxes.”

♕ ---- “I know it’s been an absolutely long day but please tell me you have the energy to grab a drink with me,” Dayani all but pleaded and pouted up at the other person. “Just one drink to take away the stress of the day.”

♕ ---- “Honestly, at this rate, I’m just going to bow to every magical creature that I come across because there are just too many who demand that respect or they’ll rip you to pieces,” Day said with a shake of her head. “I don’t know how you keep it all tracked.”

He gave her a teasing look. “I can tell.” Ryland looked down at his cup and shook his head with an amused hum. “How could I accidentally order two drinks?” He questioned with a smirk, leaning against the table beside her. “I was going to stop by and see you later. I have to drop some things off for your boss.” Smirk back on his face, he added, “Unless you want them now in case you’re napping.”

»

♕ ---- Dayani wrinkled her nose at him at his words and simply took a sip of the coffee that he had given her. “For all I know you could be one of those people who changes their minds while they order and you just threw off the barista,” she said. “Or the accident is just a cover for the fact that you were just thinking of me morning and got me a coffee,” she added teasingly. “I’ll be awake later, thank you very much. Have to be, gotta keep those interns from annoying the boss.”

“You look like you could use this more than me,” he offered, handing over one of the two coffees he was holding. “Not just because I accidentally got two.” Ryland smirked. “Rough morning?”

»

♕ ---- Dayani blew a stray curl out of her eyes as she struggled to pin back half her hair. “I overslept,” she admitted before she carefully reached for the coffee. “Was it your accident or the barista’s,” she asked.

“Well, good thing the Head Auror loves that attitude and he absolutely won in life by hiring you,” Jasper grinned and took a sip of his coffee. He let out a chuckle at her question. “Ava’s still chaotic as hell and Abi stared pulling herself up to stand, so she’s gonna start running soon,” he mused and pulled out his phone to show Dayani the latest photos of the girls from their trip to muggle London. He couldn’t help but laugh when she mentioned the birthday party. “My husband might divorce me if we do two Disney parties in a row but you know what? Let’s do this,” he nodded. “I’m going to use you as a human shield if he comes here bitching at me for the party idea though,” Jasper added, giving her an innocent smile.

»

♕ ---- Dayani chuckled. “Well thank you, Jasper. I just hope when Mr. Potter does retire. The head auror who steps up after him decides to keep me around. Whoever that may be,” she said teasingly. She then leaned forward to look at the pictures that he showed her and she grinned at the sight. “They’re too cute,” she remarked before she snorted. “Well, I could suggest a fairytale themed birthday but actual fairytales are bit dark for a little girl.” She playfully wrinkled her nose. “I mean, you could use me as a shield but you might have to pick me up for that to work.”

“All the good judges are taken, too. Or too old. Or not interested in us, if you get my drift.” She tilted her head with a smirk. “But being taken doesn’t really faze me.” Anya looked up at her sister, completely serious, before the smirk came back on her face. “I’m kidding. Mostly,” she winked at her, before getting up from the desk. “Shame your boss is married, though.” She laughed and turned to Dayani. “Again kidding. Mostly. When do you get off? I was thinking we  could do dinner.”

»

♕ ---- Dayani slowly nodded at her sister’s words. “I think I draw the line at taken. I think I have too anxiety to deal with that sort of complicated relationship.” She glanced at the closed door belonging to her new boss. “That’s right, there is a Mrs. Potter,” she said jokingly. “I can do dinner though, I’m not really needed here anymore,” She replied as she stood up and collected her coat. “What were you thinking?”

“Okay, quit. That’s the worst visual, baby girl.” Dylan snorted and leaned back against the elevator wall, looking at her with an amused look. “What the hell does a question mark body look like? I don’t think I want to even know.” He smirked, before letting it turn into a smile at her words. “Good. I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever,” Dylan continued. “How’s your new job? You’re over at the auror department, yeah? Fair warning, we have a running bet on how many time Jasper will remind you he’s deputy Head Auror. Because yes, it’s that bad.”

»

♕ ---- Snorting, Dayani curled her finger like a hook and held it up for him to see. “Like a question mark. The very reason why everyone’s mother is always telling their kids to sit up straight instead of slouching over a desk. All that slouching leads to the curve in the back.” She smirked over at him and shrugged her shoulders. “Well, so far he hasn’t mentioned it. He did scare off an intern before the young man called me something that probably wasn’t very nice,” she replied as she stepped out of the elevator once it reached the lobby. “Which is good for the intern since we both know how nasty I can be when pushed.”

“Baby, I test everyone’s sanity. Can’t make any promises.” He winked at her, before catching up to her and moving his arm around her shoulder, steering her away from his office. “Pretty sure it’s no longer your job to make sure I’m not killing myself at work, but I appreciate the thought.” Dylan smiled, but then quickly gave her a look of mock offense when she continued. “Stop. I’m going to be 70+ years old with abs of a god and I will accept no different.” He dropped the act and smirked, hitting the button to the lift when they got to it. “You heading home? Or do we have time to go celebrate that you’ve been cleared and aren’t mentally insane.”

»

♕ ---- Playfully, Dayani rolled her eyes. She allowed him to steer her away from his office and towards the elevator. “I think making sure you actually sleep and testing someone’s sanity are two completely different things. One is about caring and the other one... is just rude.” She then let out a loud snort as she stepped into the lift and turned back to him. “You can have those abs and still look like a total question mark. Most of my relatives are close to their 100s, slender, and crotchety. All because they overworked themselves.” She shrugged. “I could use a drink.”

“Were you the one who called for a magizoologist? Because someone in this building is having a critter problem but I can’t seem to find who it is.”

»

♕ ---- “Thank goodness you’re here,” Dayani said with a sigh of relief. “It’s my first week in this office and a little creature has snuck in and causing mayhem to my filings. It keeps disappearing and reappearing, I tried to be calm and let it get use to me but my boss will be back in less than an hour and I refuse to be fired because I barely passed Care of Magical Creatures.”

Anya pursed her lips into a pout, tilting her head to look at her sister. “Seems like way too much work.” She caught her twin’s gaze and smirked. Anya walked around the office, admiring her sister’s changes, before she turned to look at her. She let out a breath, “Merlin. You don’t even get to see the attractive aurors? That’s the only reason I’d work over here. Not seeing them defeats the whole purpose.” She gave her a teasing look and came to sit on the corner of her desk. “I’m glad you’re all settled in, though. You’ll be bad ass at this job.”

»

♕ ---- “As an esteemed judge for this Ministry, I’m sure you can handle a little bit of work, can you not,” Day teased her sister as she watched Anya look about her new office. Dayani had made quite a few changes in organization and definitely added more color. The Auror department felt, to her, entirely too dreary and entirely too masculine. And if she was being perfectly honest, too English. “All the good looking ones are taken anyway. If there are any single judges though, please introduce me,” she said with a chuckle. “I certainly hope so. Since the healers say I can’t dance anymore, it was very kind of Mr. Potter to give me a chance here.”

[nightanddayani]

“Oh, darling. I’ll make it my mission to do it anyway,” he smirked. But then it faded and he sighed, knowing she was right. “I know, I know. I’m off tomorrow if it makes you feel any better.” He shrugged on his jacket and picked up his wand, nodding for her to follow him out. Dylan turned to lock up his office, his eyes darting down the hall towards his boss’s to see if his boyfriend had left yet. He pursed his lips into a slight, momentary frown when he saw the light beneath his door, but obviously didn’t comment on it. “Happy?” Dylan looked at her. “But you know rest is seldom in my vocabulary, Daya.”

»

♕ ---- “Stoooop,” Dayani chuckled as she made her way out of his office when he gestured her to. “Test someone else’s sanity. Give me a break.” Carefully, she slipped on her coat and looked up at him as he glanced away. She took a deep breath and cleared her throat before she took a step back. “You’re not getting any younger, Parkinson,” she simply replied and buttoned up the bright purple coat that she brought with her. “You have to learn to relax or you’re going to end up super old with your body taking the shape of a question mark.”
