Miscommunication

"Malfoy, get in here!" bellowed Kingsley.

"Sir?"

"What is the meaning of this?" he asked, tossing a document across his desk. A very familiar document. A document that he should never have seen. Draco's eyes bulged (he could feel them) and his face went red (he could feel that too).

"An attempt at humour, Sir?"

Kingsley looked sceptical. "I see."

Draco sincerely hoped he didn't see.

"I would have expected that you, of all people in my employ, would know and adhere to proper etiquette, especially where written correspondence is concerned."

"Yes, Sir." It wasn't as though Draco had sent it to Kingsley, after all.

"I don't presume to dictate with whom my Aurors have--" Kingsley looked down at the document and swallowed. Draco stood transfixed, watching the slow motion of Kingsley's Adam's Apple. "--love affairs." The last words were barely audible.

"Love affairs, Sir?" Draco felt a strange compulsion to enhance his boss's discomfort. And laugh.

"Yes." Kingsley struggled for the words. "I don't care, so long as it doesn't interfere with their duties."

"Quite right, Sir."

"Or disrupt others," Kingsley added.

"Of course."

"Malfoy?"

"Sir?"

"This--" He pointed at the offending page. "--would be considered disruptive."

"Of course." Draco bit back his laughter. "Is that all?"

"Yes, and please take it with you."

"Very well, Sir."

Harry approached Kingsley's office as Draco was exiting. "Not now," Draco warned.

Harry looked confused.

"Miscommunication."

Harry looked more confused.

"Something about improper use of interoffice memos. I mean it's not my fault the memo got delivered to Kingsley instead of you."

Harry raised his eyebrows. Draco handed him the note. Harry's cheeks flamed as he read the explicit details of what Draco had planned to do to him on their upcoming weekend away.

"Merlin, Draco," Harry said in a shaky voice. "You drew diagrams?"

Draco shrugged. "What can I say? I was inspired."

AHHH.
That was hilarious.
I loved it! Great job!

The idea of magic failing somehow also makes the story a little more realistic. bravo :)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Glad you enjoyed it.

As I wrote this, I imagined (having worked in government for years) a mailroom of sorts that memos are required (thanks to government red tape) to go through. Magic may deliver them, but they're forwarded on by wizards. :D

*dies* "inspired"

poooooor Kingsley!

[byaghro.livejournal.com]

BAHAHAHA!!!! Oh how I'd PAY to get my hands on that memo!! With diagrams! *snort* Brilliant! "Love affairs" - ha! Nice try Kingsley!

[fauxpersonae007.livejournal.com]

I love an inspired Draco, hilarity is bound to happen. Very good work!

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

CUTE!!!! LOL! Diagrams. *snickers*

I just love the thought of Kingsley's face.

[ebilgatoloco.livejournal.com]

LOL
-dies laughing-
Oh Draco! You're so bad! XD

[piratesmile331.livejournal.com]

I imagine Kingsley will have to sit at his desk for awhile to wait for his hard on to go away.
*lol*
*wants to see the diagrams*

[lire-casander.livejournal.com]

Oh, Draco! I can only imagine poor Kingsley reading the memo and getting all hot and bothered (don't try to deny it, Shcklebolt, we know you'd love to watch!)

[mtranc3.livejournal.com]

Muahahaha I knew it was something to do with Harry from Kingley's discomfort :D Oh naughty Draco!

[joan-waterhouse.livejournal.com]

*lol* Diagrams! I bet secretly Kingsley made notes before he sent for Draco! *gigglesnort*

[adores-draco.livejournal.com]

Poor Kingsley was probably trying to hide his boner and
poor Harry had the same problem...

Luckily we have Draco - always the distinguished gentleman!

[drijfwa.livejournal.com]

hahaha, diagrams? that is pure win! *g*

[bgreenwivy.livejournal.com]

Oh NO! Not pictures! Granted I am sure sometimes a picture would be much easier for Harry to understand.

[vesperagain.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha! Ah, to be a fly on the wall to get a look on Kingsley's face! And a dekko at the diagrams! "Inspired", bwahahaha!
In case you couldn't tell, loved it. :-)

[kaykayen.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha! Kingsley may not appreciate an inspired Draco, but I'm quite sure Harry will!

Kingsley did make copies, didn't he? *offers galleons for one*

[lunakat.livejournal.com]

I absolutely loved it! Especially the last two lines :-)

[paper-moonshine.livejournal.com]

LMFAO! That is just to funny - and so very Draco!

[latex-muffins.livejournal.com]

Ahh, that's so cool!
It's totally realistic and cool :)

AND OMG THAT IS THE COOLEST ICON EVER. I GET COOKIES FOR BEING THE FIRST COMMENT?!

That is kickass. :D

"Merlin, Draco," Harry said in a shaky voice. "You drew diagrams?"

Hahaha! *slaps hand on knee* Poor Kingsley, and Harry for that matter. He won't be able to look his boss in the eye for a while. *smirks* If I were Kingsley, I think I'd've burned it for fear of blushing every time I looked at my subordinates.

My brain is now imagining what sort of diagrams. Hee!

[svgurl.livejournal.com]

This was so funny! Oh, Draco ... I love the fact that the memo got sent to poor Kingsley. He must've been traumatized. The last two lines were the best. I couldn't stop laughing.

Wonderful job! :)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yup, yup! Mmmmmmmm cookies. ♥

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Ah, to be a fly on the wall, so I could see the diagrams Kingsley's face.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Ah, but in such a good way. ;)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*snickers*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! ;)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Mmm ... but we like our Draco naughty. And so does Harry. *nods*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Notes? Nah! He took copies! ;)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*snickers*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Why thank you!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Well, it is worth a thousand words. ;)

I know I would have made copies.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And I love that delicious icon. Mmmm.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'd love to see some diagrams myself. Poor, poor Kingsley.
