 The incredibly tacky and modernized break room of the Ministry of Magic, connected magically to entrances on every floor.

*Crouches over a stack of papers, feverishly making notes on every available inch of blank space* Oh, Merlin's pants! This is absolutely ridiculous...

*Glances over from his own table, sipping at a foam-topped coffee* Troubles, Percy? Anything I can help you with?

No, no. *Speaks in a fussy, impatient tone as he continues to work* It's this damn budget cut they've asked me to approve. The Werewolf Registry office isn't a top priority, it's hardly even used, they want me to redetermine its share of the budget. But with wages and office supplies...

Mark won't be pleased with a single Knut taken from that office.

No one ever is. But with that tax break the Minister gave to Diagon Alley shops, we've got to tighten our belts a bit...

*Leans over to have a look at the paperwork* Good lord! He won't be able to keep the electricity on with that, Percy - let alone afford to feed in the people he takes in all the time...

*Does not pause in his quick scribbling* It will do, it's just for the one office, not his entire department. I'm thrifty, not unethical. If anything, I'm banking on an overall increase for his wing. Vampire Liason is overpaid, it's about as useful as a napkin controlling that lot..

*Stops, an embarrassed flush rising through his ears* Sorry, Eldred, forgot who I was talking to. It wasn't meant to be so harsh.
Even you agree it's mostly a losing battle..

Losing *stands sharply, pushing in his chair* but certainly not lost!
*Turns on his heel and stalks from the room*

*Rubs his temple, looking quite miserable* At least the children will be gone to school this evening... I could do with a bit of relaxing...

Gavin leaned back in the fancy, high-backed modern chair, scowling slightly at how uncomfortable it was before tipping his hat down a bit more over his forehead.
"Ain't never met a chair more uncomfortable in my life." He grumbled. Gavin didn't normally visit the break room, since it was too clean and sterile and echo-y for him. he preferred to eat lunch at his desk.
But it just so happened his desk was covered in all sorts of paperwork today, and he was avoiding the office so no one could swoop down and nag at him to do it. The last place they'd look for him was in the break room, even though you could get to it from anywhere.
Gavin sniffed, making a face at the smell of the coffee in the nearby coffee-maker. Weak stuff, practically no better than the tea his colleagues drank.

“Avoiding paperwork as well?” guessed Harry from the table positioned diagonally from his co-worker’s, a friendly smile curling the corner of his mouth. A colorful salad was on the table before him, croutons and a glistening dressing drizzled across the fresh lettuce and chunks of tomatoes; his plastic fork was buried in the meal, but after a moment he brought it to his mouth, crunching audibly. “I’m hiding from Mad-Eye, myself. Reckon he’s noticed I haven’t turned anything in since the week before last.” He dragged a napkin over his mouth as he chuckled.
