Visiting The Gameskeeper

[Jessica Abbot Zashterly]

Jessica decided she would take a walk outside of Hogwarts and get some fresh air. She was walking along the grounds of Hogwarts when she noticed that there was a hut so she went to check it out. She walked up the hut and saw a sign saying 'The Gameskeeper Hut' currently ran by Blake Devon Ryder. She wondered what 'The Gameskeeper' was is that someone who keeps all the board games at Hogwarts. She walked up to the door and knocked on it , then waited for an answer.

[Blake Devon Ryder]

Blake seemed to be in a lighter mood than normal, which still wasn't saying much on his behalf. His best friend was off on a mission for the Ministry and wouldn't be back for some time (the only good thing about the situation was that he took Averie with him, so if all else fails, Jeraud could use her as a shield and get the hell out of Dodge as quick as possible). The worst part of it all was that since his love, Valeria Hewitt, was visiting her parents, his best friend's wife, Harmony, seemed to be the only person who would put up with him.

And let's be honest. Listening to a crazy woman complain about her pregnancy pain all the time isn't exactly fun, is it?

So Blake decided to just stay put in his little hut, though he wondered why somebody with as much talent as him would give up a job at the Ministry of Magic to return to Hogwarts, the place he had spent so much time scheming and plotting to get away from. But it was Valeria who wanted him to take this job so he could be closer to her, so he could. And no, Blake Ryder wasn't whipped. Well, he was, but there was no way he would admit it to anyone.

When he heard a knock at the door, the Slytherin alumnus wondered just who the hell had the audacity to disturb the peace in the undeniably tacky Gameskeeper Hut. He cursed under his breath as he opened the door, about to spit out a rude, hateful remark and slam the door when he noticed a young girl standing before him. Surely he couldn't be rude to a child; Valeria taught him better than that. And it appeared to be the Minister of Magic's daughter, so that really brought the possibility of being mean to her down.

"Uh..." Blake started, arching his eyebrow in surprise of the young girl. "Hey there...?" Kindness wasn't necessarily his thing, but he would have to play nice until this kid left.
