The morning had been particularly good to Lucas. His alarm, for the first time in a while, had gone off on time and his shower had been remarkably lukewarm, which was better than normal. For the first time in god knows how many weeks he had remembered to buy milk the night before for his crereal. All in all, things were going pretty well. The office was quiet, the graveyard shift were leaving for the day and the day shift was about to begin. Lucas liked to arrive early to scout out the goings on of the night. A conversation with Joe, the chief of the night staff, brought him up to speed.
Tea. It was time for a morning cup of tea. Lucas wandered accross the room and flicked the kettle switch on. Powered by magic it took three seconds for a column of steam to hurtle from the spout and into the air, indicating it was ready. Lucas already had his metallic cup/flask ready with a tea bag in it when he was joined by another early arrival. It was none other than James Hopkirk. They had been best friends during their reign of terror at school. Both had attended Auror Training at the same time and had fought in the first war. Then James had buggered off to do some spiritual "finding yourself crap". His return had been on the rumor mill at the Ministry for a week.
'Alright there, wanker,' Lucas threwat him. 'Did you manage to find yourself while you were off galivanting. If what Emily Lott told me is true you had a lot of trouble in that department when we were in training, if you catch my meaning.'

James look out of his window from his bed and saw that it was yet another nice looking day outside. He hopped from his bed and walked through his flat to the shower. The shower was cold, not its normal behavior. He reached for his wand and pointed it at the shower and a gus of hot water poured over him. He washed quickly and changed into his clothes. He would be early for work so he sat down with some cereal, ate eat quickly and scooted out the door.
He apperated to work and collected his new staff badge from the security wizard. It was his first day back at the Minstry since he had left for his travels. James decided he would require some tea and walked into the Auror office. The kettle was being operated by a wizard James recognised instantly. "Yes I'm fine thingy head and no i did not find myself on my travels. I did however meet some intereting women." James said throwing his teabag into the bin. "Although while in Thailand most of them turned out to be men." he laughed. "Emily? How is she? Still mad i didn't call her?" James said wiggling his eyebrows.

'That's just like you, isn't it,' Luke said, with a snort of laughter as he finished making the tea. 'To go off galivanting, preaching about how you're going to do something and then come back with nothing. It sounds like that time you dragged Regredera into that cupboard under the impression that you were going to get under her bra, only to return to minuets later with a hand print on the side of your face and your tail between your legs.'
Lucas took a sip from the mug. The tea was bitter, so he pointed his wand at it and a small stream of sugar filtered from the end of it, into the cup which then proceeded to stir itself.
'Actually, last report says she is dead. Married one of those Slytherins in our year, a pureblood match or some-such bollocks. She didn't realise what she was getting into, tried to back out and was killed just shortly after Mouldy-mort came back to power. She was a nice girl too. Oh well.'
'You missed the big party, mate,' Luke reminiced. 'Just after you left there was a big battle. Voldemort had fallen at the hands of the Potters, of course, and his Death Eaters were out looking for him. They attacked Frank and Alice Longbottom. They were tortured to insanity. Anyway, Frank was able to alert the Auror Office. I was on night duty with one of the newbies. Pretty nasty fight that was, but I got both Lestranges.'

"Hey i didn't do anything to Regredera, she slapped me for no reason. All i suggested was that she may wish to remove some of her clothing." James rotorted. "Nothing wrong with that is there?" He took a sip of his tea while Lucas continued to talk.
James coughed up some of his tea. "Emily killed? By who?" Fire burned in James eyes. It was one thing to attack him and Lucas during a battle but to attack someone James had once cared about was quite another. "Who did it Lucas and have they been caught?" James relaxed slightly, there was nothing he could do. "If i was here, if i had called her. She might be with me and alive." James said. "Anyway" he coughed. "Who got Frank and Alice? I remember them from school. Always a great pair. I heard they had a son. Whats his name?.... Neivelle isnt it?" James quizzed. "What about Mr Potter whats he been up to. I bet he's just like his father. You remember James and Lily at school?"
