True Translation || Dirk & Augustus
When: Present Day Where: The Ministry of Magic - Basement Level 9 With: Augustus @awearywood
Dirk had just been getting used to being back at work, his boss had been very understanding after he’d explained what happened and given him a week off (more demanded it really). He’d take the time to catch up with friends and spend some time with his parents. While he’d thought he’d go mad with too much time alone with his thoughts it had done him good. He’d stayed with his mother and father and slept better knowing they were close by.
This was his first day and he’d expected to spend the day tailing Cuthbert Mockridge on his errands. It was not secret the other had plans for him in the department and he didn’t want to let the man down. As it turned out Mr. Mockridge had been called away on rather urgent business dealing with a Goblin tribe in Cornwall and instead told Dirk to attend a summons from the Department of Mysteries.
He’d never been to level nine before and felt nervous as the elevator descended. He held the parchment requesting a staff member fluent in Gobbledegook in hand and swallowed before he stepped out, running a hand through his messy green hair. He spotted an intimidating man standing nearby looking expectant and approached, “E-excuse me.” he said quietly, “I received this summons from the Department for a staff member who spoke Gobbledegook?” He knew he probably appeared too young but this wouldn’t be the first time he’d need to prove his skills.
