What to Do (open)

[Dominic Sahvil]

Dominic fumbled around in his office. There were scattered letters on his desk that needed to be sent out and some of his things that were piling up as well. He sighed, exasperated. He sat in his chair and started sorting.

A first year wanted to mail out a pumpkin pastry for her cousin's fourteenth birthday, a seventh year wanted to give something to their mother for her 42nd birthday, and a sixth year wanted to give a gift from honeydukes to their girlfriend for their one year anniversary. Dom swallowed a lump that caught up in his throat. Anniversary.

Dom knew it was silly, to think that Johnny still cared, after all they broke up ago a year from this day. But maybe it wouldn't hurt to send him a letter. It was Dom finding out that he was a wizard that broke him and Johnny up in the first place.

Pull it together Dom He thought. Then he thought of Ani and stopped himself. He'd send out a letter later. Maybe.

Dustin heaved a sigh. This place was a mess. People running every which way and trying to mail things that were alive and things that were too large to mail and he just couldn't take the chaos much longer. He was much too annoyed to deal with this today.

He didn't even want to mail this letter. It was to his sister explaining all about HOgwarts and while he loved it here he missed her and wished she was a few years older so that she could be here with him and see how much fun Hogwarts was. But he had gotten his magical genes from his mother who wasn't her mother because his mother died and their father remarried Dustin's sisters mother and now she was a muggle while he was a halfblood.

He got up to the line to see a tall blond kid he recognized from school.

[Dominic Sahvil]

Dom appreciated the fact that the Owl Post Office wasn't busy most of the time, then there were a few occasions where the Owl Post Office was flooded with people who wanted Dom to mail their things at the same time of everyone else. It was kind of intolerable, but he liked the fact he could be alone and collect his thoughts.

When the line had gotten shorter Dom thought he got a glimpse of a Slytherin seventh year; shortish black hair, nice deep blue eyes, yep Dom definitely recognized him.

He smiled, "because that's what you have to do when you serve people" His dad always said.

"Hey," Dom said, "How can I help you?"

[Dustin Richey]

Dustin tried to place where he'd seen the kid before. He didn't scan the tables like other students because he wasn't so intersested in what other people had to do with him unless they were his friends then he'd wanted them to hang out with him. Maybe he'd seen the kid in the library. He'd been hanging out there lately because N.E.W.T.S. were coming up and he was falling behind in Transfiguration because he couldn't change a hedgehog into a pin cushion. Thats probably where he saw the kid.

"I have a letter." Dustin smiled. "But I don't have an owl."

[Dominic Sahvil]

OOC: hot siggy

IC: Dom smiled. "Well, you came to the right place, just gimme the letter and it'll be sent out as soon as i can get it sent out. It would be fast but, unfortunately i'm a little high on demands." He gestured to the piles of mail that were now tipping over. Suddenly, like it was mocking him, the piles of mail fell off the desk, like an avalanche.

Dom whipped around and stomped his foot. "Damn it!" He shouted. He looked at Dustin apologetically. "I'm sorry, this might take longer than originally planned."

[Dustin Richey]

OOC: um thanks? O.O

IC: Dustin saw the letter which had been staked precariously high, tip and fall and the boy who he still couldn't place curse which Dustin thought was very unprofessional because you should never swear on a job no matter how bad things got, but like the sometimes respectful person he was he kept his mouth shut.

"Um." He certainly didn't want the boy to yell at him, people did that when they were upset but Dustin had thought of a good idea that could help. "If you just sort through with magic and stuff that could help. I know a charm if you want help."

[Dominic Sahvil]

Dom appreciated the guy wanting to help but he could clean this up on his own. He looked around and cringed. Okay, maybe not.

"That would do wonders, thanks. What is it?"

[Dustin Richey]

Dustin smiled know the boy was hesitating but he knew the boy would accept help. It was a ridculous amount of work the boy was forced to do and with a quick look around it didn't seem like he had anyone to work with him. Maybe Dustin would get a job that would be great because he really needed the money and his trust fund wouldn't open till he left Hogwarts.

"It's an old famly recipie." Dustin smiled and flicked his wand thinking Curato un felled. The letters swirled around and around and sorted into different piles that Dustin wasn't sure by what but was most definatly helpful to Dominic. Dominic that was the boy's name. "You're Dominic."

[Dominic Sahvil]

Dom looked at the kid with a crooked expression. "Thanks for the help, but how do you know my name?"

[Dustin Richey]

Well Dustin hadn't really thought out to explain how he knew Dominic's name because honestly he wasn't sure how he knew it himself and if he couldn't explaing to himself then how was he ever going to tell Dominic? But he had to come up with something fast so he put together in his mind really fast about where Dominic's name might have been mentioned and prayed it was the right Dominic.

"Oh thats easy." He said swavely waving a hand. "I heard the Nazi say your name in the library a couple days ago when you guys were studying."

[Dominic Sahvil]

Nazi? What did this kid mean by "Nazi"? Oh wait...Dom was studying with Ani in the library the other day...right.

"You mean Ani?" Dom asked. He ran a hand through his head. "She is a feisty one yeah. She'd make a hella sexy blond Nazi, ay?" He smiled.
