alt_percyI just spotted the announcement in the Ministry weekly roundup. Assistant Director of Purity Control! How fine it sounds!
Congratulations, Bill! I'm extremely gratified to see your virtues and merit being rewarded. (Not to mention your devotion to pureblood principles. True blood will out, eh?)

Date: 2012-11-17 02:08 am (UTC)I have a question for you though. I will send you a private message shortly.

Date: 2012-11-17 02:09 am (UTC)Sure, I'll watch for it.
Private Message to Percy
Date: 2012-11-17 02:25 am (UTC)Re: Private Message to Percy
Date: 2012-11-17 02:45 am (UTC)I wonder if it will be a problem for Bill. I suppose, technically, he might be Dad's superiour, although I don't know for certain. I'm not entirely clear on the department's structure.
Re: Private Message to Percy
Date: 2012-11-17 02:57 am (UTC)Did Mr Malfoy know about it? I mean, has he seen the announcement yet? I wonder if he knew from Mr Rosier and Mr Selwyn before they made the decision.
Oh, don't forget that I'm going to that concert on Sunday? Karo wants to be there at seven so you'll have to apologise to your mum. Okay?
Re: Private Message to Percy
Date: 2012-11-17 03:02 am (UTC)Yes, Mr Malfoy knows. He might have learned of it early, he didn't say. He said some exceedingly gracious things about Bill.
What concert? You never said a single word about it.
You're going without me? And on a Sunday night?
Re: Private Message to Percy
Date: 2012-11-17 03:12 am (UTC)I guess I can ask Karo if she and Ptolemy could get another ticket, if you do want to go along. You'd have to tell your mum neither of us will be at supper, though.
Re: Private Message to Percy
Date: 2012-11-17 03:17 am (UTC)That's--that's not music. Which is probably why I didn't put it together when you mentioned a concert. That's an assault on the eardrums. I can't believe you have the sort of taste that tolerates them.
No, I certainly do NOT want to go. I won't tell Mum that's where you are, don't worry.
I'll be working late tonight. Don't wait up.
Re: Private Message to Percy
Date: 2012-11-17 03:20 am (UTC)And what are you doing working late on a Friday? I thought--
Re: Private Message to Percy
Date: 2012-11-17 03:23 am (UTC)Please get to the point. I'm very busy.

no subject
Date: 2012-11-17 04:05 am (UTC)Let's just say that it's significant enough that I'll have to work very hard to do the best possible job. And I'm quite pleased about it.

Date: 2012-11-17 04:15 am (UTC)You're right, Ron: Purity Control is quite a large department, with significant oversight authority. I'd say this new position is a significant step up.

Date: 2012-11-17 04:20 am (UTC)He'd probably even throw in that crappy desk I used last time. After he'd broken another leg off of it.

Date: 2012-11-17 01:03 pm (UTC)How's Quidditch going then? I told Ginny I was thinking of trying to come out some Saturday to watch one of the games so you'd have some more Weasley cheers in the stands.

As for letting you know, Percy stole my thunder, the prat.

Re: Order Only
Date: 2012-11-17 08:31 pm (UTC)Also: d'you really think Dad would be anything other than utterly proud of you, you berk? Really? Even if you wind up his boss, or even just higher ranking than him even if you're not his direct superiour, don't you think he'd look at your success as being his success, too? 'Cause if you were really worried for serious, mate, I don't know what family you've been in for the past decade or so, but it wasn't this one!
By the way, while I've got you: I demand a rematch. Knew I was going to lose that chess game even before we switched to playing the rest of it out live, dammit, but I wasn't expecting to get trounced that solidly!
