Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8895954/3/"Wait, did you say you discuss his cases with him?"
"Yes, why?"
"Discuss as in find out about the outline just to satisfy your curiosity, or discuss as in go over all the laws and loopholes to determine what course of action to take and how to implement it?"
Regulus blinked. "...the latter? I never actually expressed any curiosity in studying those abominations in-depth. It sort of just... sprang on me."
Ted stared in disbelief. "And you understand all that legal jargon?"
Regulus scoffed. "The man mumbles and talks aloud when he brings his work home. It got annoying fast, but it's not like I could tell him off, not in his own home, especially not after he's done so much for me. I read some law books just to figure out what he was saying, and once I only managed to drag him to dinner by spotting the relatively simple solution, namely a very convenient precedent, to a problem he couldn't seem to get past because he was too knackered at the time, though he refuses to believe that was the reason even now. Like there could have been anything else preventing him from seeing something so obvious."
The other man laughed.
"Right, laugh it up. You're not the one that's had to endure daily, hour-long talks that only finish when I come up with an answer to whatever issue he dumps in my lap. Sometimes I have to find references. References! I despise that word now! It's the most horrible word in the English language, I swear. I thought wizards had problems, but do you have any idea how twisted the British Muggle legal system is? It makes me shudder to think some countries have it even worse." A beat. "Though at least the muggle system is a lot fairer and allows much less room for escaping justice than the Wizarding one."
Through it all, Ted couldn't stop his guffaws.
It was getting bothersome. "Why are you laughing anyway?"
Finally stopping, Ted wiped real tears from his eyes. "Oh. Nevermind. Nothing, well, nothing bad at any rate."
