where: Bertram and Dirk’s Flat who: Bertram Aubrey and Dirk Cresswell ( @dfcresswell )
Given the nature of their jobs, Bertram was much more likely to be found in their flat than Dirk. Bertram’s schedule was a lot more erratic. The other Ravenclaw alumnus actually had a desk job that required him to work morning until afternoon during most days of the week. Bertram, on the other hand, mostly had gigs in the evening, and he didn’t even have one every night. So it’s not an unusual occurrence that Bertram would receive owls and the rare calls for Dirk.
This morning, however, was his first time receiving a call from Dirk’s mum. Bertram was surprised but not so much that he was taken aback that he forgot to be extra respectful. Bertram was making sure that he sounded more polite than usual when his mum let it slip that she didn’t exactly know what Dirk’s job was. Gremlins? He wondered. Why did his mother think that he works with gremlins? Are there even such things?
That had Bertram thinking. Why would she not know that Dirk with goblins? Unless, of course, Dirk had been lying all this time about his lineage. Bertram sat on the chair nearest the door and waited. When Dirk finally appeared, he greeted him immediately. “Hey, your mum called.” Bertram thought that there was no point in beating around the bush. He wanted the truth out of his friend one way or the other, and he decided that the direct approach would probably be best.
