Broken Bottle(David)

The Leaky Cauldron a favorite pub of the witches and wizards of England. In his opinion there were much better pubs farther north such as in Scotland and Ireland. James would have gone to one of those but he had received a letter from Dave about meeting here at the Leaky, to go over some business that pertained to their jobs as bounty hunters. Okay not really, that was just what had been written so as to make sure that no one new that they were actually meeting to discuss certain matters of the IA. Especially as to who was being recruited as new members of the IA but first they did have some other things to discuss as well.

James entered the dingy pub since there was not much sunlight coming through the closed drapes. It made the place a little depressing, but he would let it be. Walking over to the bar he ordered a butterbeer before sitting down on one of the barstools. James saw someone that looked familiar, and that person should not even be there. Said person should be in another country right now following a lead. That person was also a bounty hunter and James knew the man was taking his sweet time and by the looks of it losing money, because in the bounty hunter business you had to move quick and get the job done as fast as possible, for the more time it took, depending on who it was you were after, the more money you lost or gained and in this case the man was losing money. But oh well, he didn’t care one bit. And once Dave got there they would move to one of the rooms that was always reserved for IA purposes only, and they could ward it and make sure that they had all of the protection and privacy that they needed, in order to conduct their business.

As if on cue as to when Dave had guessed that James would show up the door to the Leaky Cauldron opened up and there stood his friend and coworker. Standing up Dave stretched a bit and then made his way over to the bar with his own bottle of butterbeer in hand. “Good day for a drink isn’t it my friend?” Dave said as he sat down on the stool to the right of James and leaned on the bartop after taking a drink. “Did you see that poor and sad excuse for a bounty hunter sitting over there instead of going after his bounty like he should? I mean why take a bounty if you are not even going to leave right after receiving the job, so you can make the most money off of it? Pathetic if you ask me.” Dave said in a loud tone so that the stupid bounty hunter would hear him. He would love nothing more than to put that man on his arse. Especially after all of the crap that he had tried pulling when James and Dave had teamed up on a job. He hoped it would work, but then yet again it didn’t matter if it did or not.

This was just casual talk and banter that Dave had started just so that they had time to keep up appearances and finish their drinks. Once they were done with their drinks they would move their conversation to a more secure room that they could secure even further. The room that was always on reserve for the International Aurors. Of course Dave had talked to Neville and Hannah about the room and what the IA would be using it for and they had consented to letting the secret organization use the room.

“Good day for a drink isn’t it my friend?” James turned at the sound of Dave’s voice. “It is indeed a good day for a drink.” He replied before listening to what Dave was commenting on. James chanced a glance at the bounty hunter in question. The man was a fool and an idiot. “That he is indeed. I am sure I could go take care of his bounty before he even gets out of his chair. You know what I think I might just do that.” James commented. “Save my seat I will be back in a few minutes, along with what reward is being offered.” And with that being said James smirked a little bit before he disappeared quietly.

Not even five minutes had passed before James reappeared holding a bag of coins. He gave the bag a little shake and the sound of clinking coins could be heard throughout the pub. “Drinks for everyone.” James said to the room at large. “Well except for that man over there.” He was referring to the bounty hunter that was currently glaring at him. “You what they say first come first serve. Here is your cut.” James said loudly before he handed Dave almost half of the reward money for the bounty that he had just collected on. Sitting down once more James grabbed his drink and held it there for a moment before taking a drink.

“That was way to easy of a job and it paid well.” He offhandedly commented. Being a a bounty hunter was an easy job and plus it took him all over the world which was something that he enjoyed immensely. However he did wonder what they needed to discuss and so he finished his drink and waited for Dave to do the same.
