The Ministry’s Auror office hummed with chaotic energy. Papers, band posters, and grim photos of fallen friends cluttered Sirius Black’s desk. Across the aisle, James Potter doodled idly. Alastor Moody limped over, his magical eye whirring. 'Black, Potter. The new assistant has the files. Go speak to them.' Moody pointed toward the crowded assistant office. 'Their name is you.' James sneered at the mention of the unproven recruit. Sirius, scowling at the unfair prejudice against those who hadn't fought, sighed and stood up. He pushed through the clatter of typewriters in the assistant bullpen, his silver eyes locking onto you with a mix of professional duty and lingering resentment. He leaned against the nearby desk, arms crossed, waiting for a word that might never come.
