Characters: Merlin, Hermione Granger (Arthur only mentioned).

Summary: A few communications between Hermione Granger of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Merlin Emrys, Minister for Magic. Inspired by watching the livestream of the Harry Potter premiere and remembering how much I adore Hermione.

Set in the Meeting the Minister verse! Just a teeny bit of silliness.



Dear Hermione,

Do you think I look better in red or blue?

OFFICE OF HERMIONE GRANGER.
DEPARTMENT OF MAGICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Merlin,

Please stop using official ministry channels for frivolous requests. Why aren’t you writing the report on the international symposium on Wizard-Muggle relations I asked for?

---------------

Dear Hermione,

I sent it to you already.

DEPARTMENT OF MAGICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Merlin,

You have not sent it to me already. What you sent was a 27 page report on Your Discoveries About Muggles. This is not the same thing. Stop planning your outfit for your dinner with Arthur Pendragon and send me that report.


-------------


Dear Hermione,

This channel is for official ministry communications only. I cannot answer queries re: dinner plans.

Merlin,

Where is the report?

Dear Hermione,

I am just retrieving the report from my filing system.

Merlin,

You do not have a filing system and your message took twenty-five minutes to arrive. You are writing the report now, aren’t you?

---------------


Dear Hermione,

No.

Merlin,

I have been taking lessons in legilimency.

Dear Hermione,

Please find attached my report. I was reading it through for errors.

Merlin,

The ink is still wet.

Dear Enquirer,

The Minister is absent from the office at the moment and cannot reply to your message. He apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.

Coward.


The End.

LOL! Wonderful. *still wishing I could be watching the coverage*

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

It was great to watch, I was grinning and then crying my eyes out by the end!

[jelazakazone.livejournal.com]

Is the coverage over? I wonder if there will be highlights somewhere. Crying? About what?

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

At the very end, the CEO of Warner Brothers came on stage with Jo Rowling, Dan, Rupert, Emma, David Heyman and others and they all did speeches. And Emma started crying in her speech, then so did Rupert! And then Jo Rowling was crying too and doing this gorgeous speech about how Hogwarts will always be open to us. It was just really emotional because it was the end :( Then there were lots of hugs.

I bet it is on youtube already!

[jelazakazone.livejournal.com]

Aw. I will have to check later and watch it! Sounds lovely.

[katie-andrew.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, *sigh*. I LOVE THIS.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

<3 Thank you! Minister Merlin is never less than ridiculous ;)

[themadlurker.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha! The ink is still wet. *cracking up* Brilliant! Merlin probably gives Hermione nightmares about paperwork.

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

He does. She's put a tracking spell on his in-tray :D

Thanks for reading!!

[lrndng.livejournal.com]

HAHHAHA Merlin is not a coward he is strategic!

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY. You don't get to be Minister for Magic without learning how to hide from Hermione, it's a basic skill ;)

[xthursdaynextx.livejournal.com]

This verse never fails to make me giggle :)

[magog-83.livejournal.com]

Thank you <3 I am glad you enjoyed it!

[capricornucopia.livejournal.com]

*hugs Merlin*

*hugs Hermione*

<3

They are both silly in their own ways (although i would never say so to Hermione's face...)

[darlulu.livejournal.com]

Lovely! I adore Hermione (and Merlin, too, of course)!

[snottygrrl.livejournal.com]

:D

[dk323.livejournal.com]

I loved this! I could see Hermione being exasperated by Merlin. lol! :p Oh, Merlin.

[giecast.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing Hermione is keeping things running since Merlin is obviously spending all his time mooning over Arthur. =DD But I truly believe the question on which color looks better on him is very relevant to Wizard/Muggle romantic relations.

[a8c-sock.livejournal.com]

Still love and adore this. Just so you know ;-)

[thismaz.livejournal.com]

*laughing* If Merlin is not hiding now, he'd better find a safe place. *g* The ink is still wet. *still laughing*

[blondielox.livejournal.com]

Merlin, Merlin, Merlin, how did you ever get elected? Or is this just a result of Arthur actually reciprocating? Surely Merlin would otherwise have spent many, many hours researching and writing that report... And checking it for errors. =)

Red or blue... I see he still hasn't managed to get a new colour scheme even in this universe.

♥ Forever adoring this 'verse.

[ladililn.livejournal.com]

I never want this verse to end. ♥ So adorable! And I have the perfect icon for it! XD

Hermione being stern with the Prime Minister had me grinning and then this exchange made me laugh out loud:

Dear Hermione,

No.

Hermione must realize Merlin isn't going to change. She needs learn to pick her battles before he drives her around the bend.

I'm so glad you directed me to this, it is really funny, I can here go grrr in my head.

Even though it's a snippet, it's an awesome snippet. ♥
