Andrew was very much enjoying his summer, and very much looking forward to his internship; that is, until he found out that one Gilderoy Lockhart was also an Obliviator intern. Perfect, just perfect. He held no ill will toward the lad until he gave him that bloody lap dance. That, and the fact that his tall tales were a tad too tale for his liking.

He tried to ignore the other sitting in the office, and focused his attention on the walls instead. The walls were tastefully done in the Parisian style, with beautiful photographs of Parisian landmarks. He visited Paris once before, with his father, and it was every bit as beautiful as her pictures depicted.

As I mentioned in the meeting, Im Elise McKinnon, one of the oblivators for the Ministry. Now I want to hear about the both of you. What skills do you have that would be an asset to the Oblivator department, what kind of scores did you have for your....O.W.Ls."

Flattery took him far in his life, whether it be sincere compliments, or whether he had his eye on a certain girl. This time, his flattery was to impress this French obliviator...while in Paris, he picked up the French language, and was passably fluent.

"Bonjour, Mademoiselle McKinnon... mon nom est Andrew St. George. Mon pre est le chef du dpartement des mystres. Je suis trs qualifi tre un obliviator pour les raisons suivantes: Je suis prsident du club de duel, et ai reu des points de O chaque anne dans ma classe de charmes. J'aime orthographie, et je suis un penseur rapide, qui est ncessaire dans cette profession. J'ai eu cinq O.W.L.s, et voici mes points : Charmes, O ; La dfense contre les arts foncs, E ; Divination, O ; tudes De Muggle, E ; Transfiguration, E." It was all he could do to not let a look of smug satisfaction cross his face, as he turned to Gil and smirked, "Your turn, Lockhart."

Translation in French: Hello, Miss McKinnon...my name is Andrew St. George. My father is the head of the Department of Mysteries.

I had five O.W.L.s, and here are my scores: Charms, O; Defense Against the Dark Arts, E; Divination, O; Muggle Studies, E; Transfiguration, E.
