*Bustles into office, laden with piles of Parchment*
*Hums to himself as he sets them on his overloaded desk*
Too much to do in such a short time...
*wonders when one of the Ministry staff will return from their assignments to fill him in*

**Knocks loudly on the door**
Minister? It's Tonks...
**Walks in, her belly very obviously a pregnant belly and smiles at the Minister, her face a little bit pink with embarassment**

*Looks up from papers*
Enter.
*Watches Tonks walk in*
Ah, Nymphadora.
*Rufus eyes her belly, but moves his eyes to her face*
I'm a little pushed for time with the whole Potter case, so what can I do for you?

Er, there's no easy way to say this, but er, as you can obviously tell, I'm pregnant. Twenty weeks gone, so that's just about five months, and I'm already the size of a hippogriff!
**Pats her tummy and gives him a wobbly grin**
Anyway, I can't perform my normal field duties any more. It's too dangerous for the baby.
**Looks truly glum at the prospect**
Is there any way I can have a desk job until the baby is born? I'll be able to come back to full Auror duties when the baby is four months old, I promise.

*Places quill firmly back into the inkwell, and leans back on his bolstered chair, contemplating her words.*
I summised as much. I knew it was a matter of time that we'd have to lose one of our best aurors, I just feared it would be either you, Kingsley or Alastor. We need you on the Potter case, but it would be unjust to endanger an unborn.
*Runs a hand through his hair, looking slightly bemused.*
Your lack of presence in the field may have reprocussions, but it is my better judgement to grant you temporary leave from field assignments, you will act as a muggle liason for the Department of Magical Law enforcement-
*Considers*
...Or, I am in need of an assistant to file messages and so forth. After my last resigned, things are getting cluttered, do you think you could manage that?
*Smiles, trying not to make it seem like an order*
You will be appointed Auror status when you are ready. I will have this in writing for you the moment I get some time to myself.

**Blanches**
Filing?
Whatever you think is best, Minister.
And thank you... my baby's been endangered once already, and I don't want it to happen again.
**Looks at the floor, not trusting herself to look pleased that she's condemning herself to four months of paperwork and pen pushing**

I understand a Mother's want to keep her child safe. And I need someone to do the jobs that I have no time for, it was as though Merlin himself sent you. I think I can manage for a couple of days, so please take this time off, re-cooperate yourself and Remus.
*Is aware of her reluctance, but needs somebody to do the job*
I know it isn't the most desirable job, but it keeps you out of trouble Miss Tonks.
*Smiles again*
Well thats a load of my mind, i'm sure we'll end up best of chums. Will that be all?
*There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice, but also being pushed for time, understandably so*

Yes, that was all Minister.
**Still looking at the floor**
I'm sure we will, too.
**Walks to the door**
I'll be here first thing on Monday morning.
**Doesn't realise the bright pink colour is fading from her hair to a mousy brown as she closes the door behind her and goes home**

*his head appears in the Minister's fire, he was not in any mood to leave his office or his school so the Minister would just have to be satisfied with talking to his head from the fire*
You wished to speak to me I believe Minister?

*Looks up once again from the doctoral liason manifests, and looks around for the speaker. A strong green glow dealt onto the wall behind summerises that the speaker is in the fire. Even Snape looked out of place without a body*
Ah Severus, It's a shame you couldn't have come directly, this subject matter involves you heavily.
*Sighs, and moves to stand infront of the fire*
I'm glad the witches down at the Ministry Floo Switchboard managed to send you to my office, in one way or another.
*enjoys the position of standing higher than Snape, establishing the correct hierarchy*
As you have probably surmised, this involves your decision regarding Bojan Vladislav, and the equipment of thus as a member of staff at Hogwarts school.
*turns his back on Snape, stroking his chin*
I wish I was kept in the loop, Bojan is a very credible employee, we'd be lost without him. I need to speak with him directly before I even consider summoning release forms. He needs to take into account the salary drop, the reclamation of Ministry privilages and life at Hogwarts.
*Pulls a smug face, before turning back to Snape*
So, I called you here to let you know, you need to come through me. Who initiated this arrangement?

*sneers at the Minister*
I have no idea what you are talking about Minister, I have not yet even offered Mr Vladislav a position at Hogwarts. He has merely been contacted for a meeting with me at his leisure. I plan to talk to him about some common interests no more.
*smirks smugly*
It would seem your information is faulty... Dear me Minister you must feel silly now! I will of course inform you directly if and when I find a replacement for the grounds keeper Hagrid.
Is there anything else Minister? I really must be getting on
*asks with fake politeness, insincerity dripping from every word*

*Turns sharply at Severus' retort*
And you think you are above the hierarchy? For one thing, I could snap my fingers and i'd have a queue of people just waiting to take your job from right under your feet. I know what your doing, Severus, and frankly, it is not appreciated.
*Snaps his fingers, and a quill and peice of parchment spring to life*
I am a well informed man, Professor Snape, and don't you forget it. Don't make me place an inquisitor at your 'beloved' school, believe me, it'd be a galvanised waste of time and resources.
*Quill stays in mid-air, waiting for instruction*
And I would also like a formal documentation placed as to the reason why you removed a member of staff, or did you not think that was needed? Not think that the Ministry likes to breathe down your neck?
*Quill scribbles something down, Rufus eyeing it in the corner of his eye*
You may go Snape, but if I recieve word of skullduggery, i'm pulling the plug of your administration.

*A letter arrives through the fireplace of the Minister's Office*
Mnr Scrimgeour, I have heard that you are denying the fact that Potter has become a Dark Wizard and a Death Eater, and dismissing it as rumour and gossip-mongering by the Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly. I am writing to tell you that the rumours are true and if you are interested, I will trade my testimony and witness in for my own protection, in order to see justice done - and that is to see Potter arrested and trialled for treason against Wizardkind, the Ministry of Magic, and against you. Do you not care that the supposed 'Saviour' of Wizardkind has turned against the Ministry? Will you stand by and watch the demoralization and destruction of your own people? I didn't think so. Don't repeat the same mistakes as Fudge. Meet me in Hogsmeade forest, alone, at midnight on Sunday, if you want to hear and see the truth. I can help you. Anon.
