When i grow up [Open]

[eddy]

Edward sat in his Hut bored. I might get myself a pet as it gets boring here alone.. he thought to himself standing up and walking around the one room that was his hut. Hmm.. he thought turning on the radio after a second of classical music it got turned off "Thanks but no thanks" he said with a sigh heading over to the small kitchen area of his hut and going through the cupboards.

I should realy go shopping he thought opening the fridge and grabbing a can of beer and a chocolate bar. Heading over to the small table he put his beer down and began to tuck into his chocolate bar as he gazed out the window as students walked to and from lessons to places he would have to just guess. i wounder if anyone will visit he thought taking a big mouthful of chocolate and swallowing it down, barely chewing.

It was common for Kingsley to visit new staff members of Hogwarts to meet and greet them on their first,second or even 56th day of staying at the school. Kingsley thought of it as being way of keeping the threads between Hogwarts and the ministry very alive. It also acted as a double purpose of addressing certain problems direct to the minister, rather than it going through the Hogwarts Liaison, the Department head and the meeting and finally to the Minister himself. It was a mission indeed and often took ages for the problems to reach him and at times would be often to late to fix them.

Kingsley had agreed on meeting the new staff member today on his own accord and even took a copy of his file to know his name. "Edward Farrell" He said softly as he walked toward the hut in which his former friend Hagrid used to call home. "There is no other place, this must be the place." He said to himself before tapping on the door waiting for a reply or at least something to know that he was home.

I wonder what he will be like? None the less, should be a professional no matter what the occupation is. Kingsley was very proud of the staff of Hogwarts as well as the students that were being educated there." Hello anyone home?" He asked before looking slightly into the window to what he thought was a shadow. " It is I, Mr. Kingsley Shacklebolt." Kingsley said hoping his name would ring a bell.

Edward sat t the table looking out the window when he noticed someone walking towards the hut Is that... Ed quickly jumped up grabbed the beer and put it back in the fridge and quickly eat the chocolate bar. Oh god the minister he thought panicking slightly what could he want he thought as he heard the tapping on the door and the voice of the minister, taking a de breath he headed to the door.

Opening it he smiled at the minister and said "Minister what a pleasure to see you, come in make yourself at home" he then stepped out the way holding the door open oping that whatever it was the minister had come to seak about it wasnt going to get Ed in trouble as he didnt want anything to hapen the worst thing being loosing his job and home which were actually linked pretty closely.

Kingsley stood there waiting for the man to open the door. In a matter of a few seconds of after explaining who he was, the door had opened faster then he could blink his eye. " Good morning Mr Farrell." Kingsley said as he shook hands with the man and taking one step into a small home that was rather cozy and had a nice, warm, sweet smell to it. " I say, your home has a rather sweet scent to it." Kingsley said as he took a deep sniff of the aroma of chocolate floating around the home. Kingsley had sensed something odd about Mr Farrell. It seemed as if he were worried over something.

" Now, now, relax Mr Farrell. You are not in trouble. I am only here to visit and welcome you personally as the Hogwarts Liaison is currently absent and there is no one to replace the position. " Kingsley said hoping to ease the man slightly. In which he quickly changed the topic. " So have things been? you been settling in alright?" He asked taking off his hat and taking a seat in a soft chair.

Eddy nervously closed the door behind the Minister and stood there waiting for something to happen. "Oh call me Edward" he said with a smile as the minister called him Mr.Farrell "Thanks, its probably all the sweets and chocolate i eat.. i should realy go on a diet" he said looking down at his stomach then realised who he was with so suddenly stood up straight again.

Ed relaxed a little when he found out why the Minister was here. "Oh, ive been settling in fine, its like ive been here my entire life" he said walking over to the kitchen area of the hut "Cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, pumpkin juice or maybe a beer?" he offered as it was pretty much tradition to offer guests a drink for Edward ever scince he was little it was what his parents did.

Kingsley indeed enjoyed the aroma of the small home. the sweet chocolate smell brought back memories of which he was a child and would hide and eat chocolate by himself so that he would not have to share. " No indeed it is a wonderful smell." Kingsley looked at him with an eye brow slightly raised as he started to mention his weight issue. A man like this self concerned over his weight? He said to himself as he smiled slightly. " A man so big would only mean that it is a man who has a big heart am I correct?" Kingsley said with a smile on his face. This makes me wonder if I too am overweight. Kingsley said to himself as he felt his stomach and body slightly.

"Edward is it?" Kingsley said looking straight into his eyes. He was asking the Minister not to be formal yer it was him who was being the formal one. " Very well." Kingsley said as he nodded slightly with a smirk. " I shall not refer to you as Mr. Farrell but you must also refer to me as Kingsley and only then will I call you Edward." Kingsley said with a small laugh which followed. Kingsley liked to play jokes but was not very good at them. He was old so every attempt he made only ended up being slightly bad. If not slightly, just overall bad.

" Yes. Tea please." Kingsley said as he took a deep sigh and slouched slightly. "It's been a while since I last sat like this. Everyone always critiques everything I do." He took another deep sigh and spoke again this time sitting up slightly. " I had invited a friend to come with me, I do hope you don't mind offering up another chair?" Kinsley said as he took a glimpse of the window to the castle windows of Hogwarts and the shimmering light that reflected off them.

The minister isn't that bad Edward thought with a smile "Well everyone likes chocolate" he said, he was sure there were people who didnt like chocolate but he just thought they were a bit weird or they had something medical to do with it, chocolate was an amazing taste. "I'd like to think so" he said with a smile when Kingsley mentioned a big heart, he was a big man but he didnt care about that he had been described as cuddly which to be honest he thought was pretty nice to be described as.

Ed smiled at Kingsley when he said to call him Kingsley Im making friends with the Minister of magic, this is good he thought then said "Ok Kingsley" he paused for a moment then said "Do your friends call you king... because i cant help but think that would be a bit weird" he shrugged slightly and pulled out some mugs when the minister wanted Tea. "sugar?" he asked putting three teaspoons in his own, and boiling a kettle with a two teabags in it, he figured if you were going to boil a kettle may aswell boil a lot of water then put two teabags in as if anyone wanted tea you could just re-boil it.

"Oh no, relax this is a relaxing place, everyone needs to loosen up sometime" he said but Edward spent most of his time 'loosened up' as he hardly ever stood up perfectly straight in a suit. "The more the merrier" Ed said when he mentioned someone else coming. He also took out another mug just incase they wanted some tea.

Kingsley couldn't help but laugh when he heard the question of him being referred to as king. " My boy, you make me laugh!" Kingsley said as he started to like the young Mr. Farrell. Kingsley found the lad to be quite funny and someone who he thought could not do anything wrong in which he had started to re think some somethings in his head. " My officials call me Minister, My staff call me sir and my friends call me what ever they feel like. In you case, you may call me anything you life." Kingsley said with a smile and a nod with the question of sugar being added into his tea. " Two teas spoons please." Kingsley said as he thought of something rather random.

" It seems my friend is running slightly late. Perhaps he had to cancel on the last minute." Kingsley said as he looked at his watch slightly. " I do thank you again for your kind hospitality." He said with a small nod as he took a small sip of his tea before placing it back on the table. Perhaps it is better to ask him. He said to himself as he looked into the window yet again. " Forgive me, what were your OWL's results if I may ask?" Kingsley asked rather randomly hiding an offer up his sleeve. " I understand if you do not wish to tell me." Kingsley said as he looked down slightly.

[eddy]

Ed smiled slightly "Well im a bit of a joker" he admitted looking for some biscuits to offer with the tea, best thing he could find were some old dog biscuits so he decided to forget about the biscuit idea. Wait i dont even have a dog.. must have been for Fang he figured as he knew Hagrid and Hagrid's old dog. "Ok Fred" he joked, he wasnt actually going to called the Minister of Magic Fred.. that would just be weird. Ed put the sugar in the tea and took it over to him stirring it as he moved.

"Perhaps" he said with a shrug, he didnt realy mind he had made friends with the minister of magic and that was some big news for him anyway. "no problem, i'd treat you the same if you were.. erm.. a homeless person" he said as it was the best thing he could come up with that was completely different then the minister. Ed paused when he asked about his owls. "Err.. lets just say.. i wasnt the smartest kid in the class.. but i get by" truth was he hadnt done so good in his owls.

" Indeed you are Farrell. " Kingsley had indeed grew a liking to this person. He would often find it hard to trust let alone like someone instantly. Yet this boy had a different feeling toward Kingsley. There were people who had worked for Kingsley who had been friends with him for many years and had still not earned his trust. For some reason, this boy had a different look. He didn't sense no evil or sense any of it. "Thank you." Kingsley said as he nodded slightly placing his tea on the table and laughing slightly.

" Very well then. What matters is that you did your best indeed? Kingsley said looking at him and back at his watch. " I do think that my friends are not coming anymore." Time had flew past before he even knew it. " Indeed time does fly at Hogwarts don't you think?" He said as he finished his tea quite quickly with a biscuit in the other hand. The hospitality he received was quite welcoming and very warm indeed to what Kingsley thought.

[eddy]

Eddy smiled as Kingsley agreed that he was a joker. He took it as a compliment no matter which way anyone called it him. He liked playing pranks, telling jokes, learning new jokes no matter how rude or how weird. "No Problemo" Eddy said heading back over to the kitchen area of his hut, unsure exactly what it was he was in there for.

"I do my best in everything" Edward told him and it was the truth he never slacked down on much. "Why were you and your friend coming anyway?" he asked he figured it was something to do with the Halloween ball which he hadnt even been at but he figured everyone was going to get questioned about it. "Time flies everywhere if your with the right people" Ed said with a nod of his head as he lent against a cupboard.

[kingsley]

" Your best in everything? That is a nice line to live with. I better take note of that." Kingsley said as he took out a small notepad and a quill and wrote down the line almost scribbling as he finished of his tea. I really should get going. He said to himself as he placed his tea cup on the table. His attention faced back toward Edward and with a small sigh spoke again. " I do not think he is coming anymore. He as the students of Hogwarts refer to it, dogged me?" Kingsley said not knowing exactly what this meant clearly and reliving his childhood past. For some reason, the auror Kingsley had request to arrive had still not arrived. Things were staring to get Kingsley worried.

He had many things on his mind including the ball and didn't want another burden on his mind. " Once again, thank you very much for your hospitality. I really do think I must leave. The darkness is coming and time doesn't fly when your nervous." He said laughing slightly ad he looked outside and back at his watch as he stood up and smiled at Edward. " Thank you. " He said with his hand out ready for a handshake.

[eddy]

"Take note of it as you may but my best isn't allways verry.. good" Ed admitted with a small shrug. Sure he tried his best at everything, it didnt mean he was going to succeed, quidditch for example.. whenever he actually played it he was usualy a keeper.. not a verry good one as he only managed to stop the quaffle thanks to his large body but he tried his best. Edward stood in the kitchen section of his rather small hut when he realised he had made himself a cu of tea aswell as the Minister. Downing it rather quick he let out a 'aaah' then put the mug on the side. "Well i never realy understood slang..but im guessing that means hes a no show" Ed said with a small shrug.

"Ok then good luck with.. Minister stuff" Ed said when he found out the minister had to go but wondered what he meant by nervous. Ed shook his hand and said "No problem" he then turned and picked u the Ministers mug and took it to his kitchen area. "Well i guess i'll see you.. when you find that other chap of yours" he said with a nod. Then putting the mug down he walked over to the front door and held it open for Kingsley.
