Disgustingly rich quidditch player and business man seeks new assistant manager for quidditch shop.

Owls should be forwarded to:

...hmm that needs a bit of work. Not nearly as intimidating and snarky as it should be.

How about...

"Disgustingly rich Quidditch player who doesn't have time to do stupid shite like putting up with idiotic customers who think that it would be grand fun to test out the anti-burglary charms on Firebolt models seeks assistant manager for Hogsmeade Quidditch shop. Applicants must be hard-working, intelligent and have strong analytical and bullshitting ability. Kleptomaniacs and non-Falcons fans need not apply. Pay determinant upon experience, references and ability to furnish hot female friends upon request. Send resumes to C. Warrington, c/o Falmouth Falcons. Requests for autographed photos shall be ignored."

Perfect.

...how do you feel about speech writing?

Thank you.

Actually, I was just looking for a distraction of some sort (ANY sort) from this sodding History of Magic essay. Because I really, REALLY don't care about the personal life of the prat who invented the sneakoscope.

Speech writing? Why, are we running for political office, Warrington? I'm not quite sure if you're THAT sleazy. Yet. Might want to grow a moustache and practice twirling it in an obvious and villainous way to be convincing.

Better than when Binns set my year an essay on the bloke who invented self-shuffling playing cards. That was fun.

Don't know about anything political yet. But was thinking more of when I have to speak on behalf of my father or something like that.

I think it's safer to ask people you already know.

No, it's not.

They won't be nearly as intimidated as new people would be.

But what's the point of intimidation? If people are intimidated they won't want to work for you, which kinda defeats the purpose of hiring.

Eh I suppose.

But intimidation will stop them from trying anything.

But wouldn't intimidation be a deterrent in applying for the position?

I think that Mister Zabini is right and you need to make a list of what experience and qualifications you'd want the applicants to have. I have some suggestions.

- Ability to work independently
- Ability to manage others
- Is good with sums
- Can bookkeep
- Honest and reliable

You forget "interested in Quidditch".

... Say, Spinnet, YOU should start working for Quality Quidditch Supplies! Then, you'll never have to deal with Pince again!

The pay's fair too... I'd have to actually check, since I don't think I actually pay myself...

Brilliant idea, Zabini.

I can't believe I'm doing this, it takes desperation to new levels... Warrington, I'd be interested in the assistant manager position.
