Whenever she would smudge ink on her attire, it would simply melt into the black fabric. On this unfortunate afternoon, she had been sitting in her mildly decorated office and awaited for Kai's arrival with much annoyance.
Kai was Scarlet's secretary, he was a fresh Hogwarts graduate with little focus and big dreams. His main job around the office was to organise documents and letters, schedule appointments and annoy the living hell out of Scarlet on a daily basis.
After the fourth tap on the tiny bell on Scarlet's black walnut table which is used to summon the young boy, Kai finally peeked his head by the door, a goofy grin sprouted on his lips. "Hello there."
Scarlet squinted her eyes, "Where is Michelle and Donna's team?" She raised a hand in frustration, "we're already short-staffed and half of my people are somehow on missions I don't know abut. Go find out for me."
"They are..." Kai looked through some of the names on a spreadsheet, and lifted his head back up whilst adjusting his thick-framed glasses, "on the Black case."
"The Black case?" Scarlet raised a brow. "Another Black plague scenario within Muggles—?"
"No," he chuckled, taking her words as a joke. Seeing a stern glare rising to his boss' face, his smile was wiped off. "The Black case," he repeated, as though it would make more sense.
Scarlet raised a brow and a mocking look appeared on her face, "I'd prefer it if you tell me today."
Kai straightened his back, "It's meant to be classified but people here like to talk and I eavesdrop; word is, Regulus Black is a Death Eater, except, there is no trace of him."
