Ford slipped into the office and closed the door behind him. He didn't think this conversation was particularly sensitive, but he still didn't want to be interrupted. He was a little nervous about asking for anything; his usual modus operandi at work was to keep his head down and make sure his reports were always punctual and correct and therefore minimize the amount of time anyone had to spend thinking about him.
"I was noticing that there's been a bit of a backlog in the Muggle-reported hauntings file," he started. This was not news, because Muggles were superstitious and they thought a lot of things were due to ghosts and spirits that had absolutely nothing to do with them. There had been a backlog since Ford had started at the division years ago. It was really just a lead-in to his main question, which he decided to forge right ahead to. "I was thinking maybe I could get through it if I stayed later a few nights."
Every night, actually, indefinitely until the season started, but he didn't think he needed to get into that just yet.
