Though he'd recently fallen back into the role of Head Auror after years of being away, Faustus found – contrary to what he thought – that he rather liked the weekly schedule of meetings and paperwork. It gave him a sense of purpose (as well a sense of ease) knowing that he could get together with Ross and go over the past cases. The process provided a sense of closure as well as the security of having a second opinion.

Thankfully they had a light caseload this time, and the process went fairly quickly. He was just signing the last of the papers on the last one when Ross spoke. Faustus looked up from the folder. "Well!" he replied, closing the folder and placing it on top of the pile. "You know how much I aim to please." He quipped, grinning as he put his quill back into its pot. Something told him (call it years of being an auror or years of working alongside the Minister in one capacity or another) this meeting was about to divert itself. "Although I suppose in the interest of sounding level headed, I should ask what the opportunity is before I jump into it."
