All Work and No Play - A Percy drabble

Title: All Work and No Play
Characters: Percy, OOC Dover (a Ministry lackey)
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Written for: [livejournal.com profile] hpchar100 weekly challenge

Percy glanced around as he left the meeting room, making sure his exit was still secure. Over the last year, he’d become aware that not everything here at the Ministry was as rosy and delightful as he had thought it would be. How young and naïve he had been.

“Taking a break for lunch today?” Dover asked quietly, saying two of the words they’d all come to fear lately. ‘Break’ and ‘Lunch’ were not things that Scrimgeour liked to hear about his assistants doing these days.

“No,” Percy hissed, moving quickly down the hall to the lift. Time was money.

And the reworked version that will hopefully pass the communities standards for no OOCs.

Just for the record - I think allowing no original characters is lame.

Also, did you mean OC instead of OOC?

And lastly - Yea!! I really liked this one. Not enough feeling bad for Percy selling his soul, IMO.

Yes, how in the world am I supposed to find someone else who works at the ministry with Percy who would be named? Not EVERYONE in the HP world is named! Gaah...oh well.

Yes, meant OC. One too many Os makes things just strange in the sentence.

And Yes - more people should feel bad for Percy!!!! He made his bed and he's lying in it but COME ON! You know he has to feel badly.
