Small Favors, A Drabble
Summary: Amos (with his colleague Arthur) once did Albus a little favor.
*
Doing favors for your friends.
*
Amos had told Cedric, that’s just the way the world works.
But Ced was-had been-an idealist. “But Dad,” he’d protested, “that could lead to corruption.”
Amos had chuckled at Ced’s earnestness. The boy would learn balance, soon enough.
*
Just another minor exchange of favors, conspiring with Arthur to save Dumbledore’s friend Mad-Eye from being imprisoned.
Amos had figured, it’d be good to have the headmaster owe him.
*
Amos stared blindly at Ced’s grave.
He’d sent a lunatic escaped Death Eater to Hogwarts. To kill his boy.
As a small favor for a friend.
