From Tea to Mouse

From Tea to Mouse

I took a long sip of my tea and sighed. It had been a long day at work today. Clothes had come alive and had tried to put themselves on random, innocent members of the public. Mice had turned themselves in geese and waddled round the office, getting in everyone's way. And of course, the elves had decided that they wanted to join in on the action and cause some, in their eyes, well deserved chaos.

I had left work feeling tired and wishing there were more hours in the day so that I hadn't been forced to leave the office in such a mess (my boss will not be happy when he sees the clutter tomorrow, and I'll most likely feel his wrath first thing in the morning, because after all it will be my fault that magic energy was high today). But that was the life of a Wizard Organiser (which is what I am).

I put my cup up to my lips, eager to have the refreshing and non-magic tea run down my throat, warming and relaxing me all at once. But when the cup reached my lips, I felt not the expected smooth china touch my lips, but the soft fur of a mouse. I looked down to find that I was no longer holding a warm cup of tea in my cold hands, but a terrified mouse, struggling around in my grasp, wanting to escape. I placed him on my floor and watched as he ran for safety towards a hole in the wall - most likely to meet up with the rest of his furry family to tell them his adventures of being swapped with a teacup in the hands of an unsuspecting Organiser. I could almost see the spring in his step as he ran, excited to tell such a tale.

I was annoyed, yes. I no longer had a cup of tea to sip, and I had used my last tea bag for that cup. And I could only imagine what shouting I would hear tomorrow when my boss decided that I was the one responsible for the madness in the office today. But will I lose sleep over such matters? No. It's the life a Wizard Organiser comes to expect.
