She felt bad for letting her temper get the best of her on Charlie's journal. It wasn't as if he set out to sabotage her career or anything like that. She knew Charlie enough, and he wasn't the type of bloke to be that ambitious. As well, it could be possible that he wasn't aware how much she wanted to get the Scotland placement.

By the time she had apparated to Scotland outside the reserve's gates, Penelope was set to apologize to Charlie as soon as she saw him.

"Yeah, girlie? What d'ya want?" The gatekeeper looked her up and down, then spat out a stream of tobacco juice which nearly reached the tips of Penelope's boots. He was an old keeper with tobacco stained whiskers and a large burn scar down his neck.

"I'm here for a meeting with Charlie Weasley and Head Keeper MacFusty," Penelope told the wizard, staring him down.

The keeper just snorted and opened the gate for her.

"Oi, Weasley! There's a wee girl here for ya!"

Penelope bristled and shot the keeper a dirty look.

He had arrived near an hour before, to put on a pot of coffee and try to settle himself a bit. He knew how to work with some of the most dangerous creatures in the world, but an upset witch was a different beast entirely. As he turned to get a tin of biscuits he heard the unmistakable sound of apparating.

"Bloody hell, figures, stop paying attention for just a moment and she gets here." Charlie grumbled as he placed the tin on the small table, dropping a fetched finger of shortbread.

He managed to exit the gatehouse just as Old Beman called out. Shacking his head in frustration, Charlie approached.

"This woman is a fellow keeper, so pay a bit of respect would ya. Unless of course you would like her to demonstrate her Ironbelly take-down maneuver."

He extended a hand toward the witch, while trying to smile.

"Um... Welcome to the Hebrides Reserve, Keeper Clearwater."

"I wouldn't waste my magic," Penelope said, looking over at the wizard who had called her a 'wee girl'. The man was smirking, but only long enough to catch a look from Charlie and then he looked more subdued.

Sexist pig, Penelope thought.

"Keeper Weasley," she said, addressing Charlie and taking his hand she shook it firmly. "I'm ready to meet with Head MacFusty. The sooner the better."

"Well wouldn't really take much more than a bat bogey hex to drop him, being a squib and all." Charlie laughed aloud, as he opened the door for Penelope, then stepped through behind her.

"look was playing a bit of the formal out there, but in here can it just be Charlie? Keeper Weasley reminds me of Ron." He smiled as he made his way to the kettle. "Tea or coffee, I can vouch for the quality of both."

Charlie smiled sheepishly, "Well see the problem with that is your in Scotland now, and you would as like to have more luck rushing that storm, than talk to Angus before he wants to."

She followed Charlie into a cabin that looked to serve as a common area for the reserve. Penelope didn't break even so much as a smile at Charlie's joke. Squib or not, she was tempted to take a boot to the other man's testicles.

"Those are our titles, but for now I can be informal if it suits you...Charlie." Penelope inclined her head, accepting his request.

"Tea. Milk, no sugar, please."

Penelope took a seat on a clean, but shabby chair and crossed her legs.

"Is that so? Well considering the events that brought me here, I shouldn't be so surprised. I took a good look around just outside then, I didn't see anyone who didn't have a cock. Are there any female Keepers here?"

"Yeah, I know, been wearing mine for a while." Charlie turned and set the kettle back to heat. In the interim he grabbed a clean mug and placed a tea bag followed by a just enough milk to cover.

"Yeah, there are, two in fact, both of them better than 50 and MacFustys too." He turned back to the kettle just as it whistled, much like he wished he could do. Instead he was forced to turn back to the witch his face a bit flushed as he handed her the tea to allow it time to steep.

"Penny...Penelope, I din't ask for this spot. Far from it, I asked...well doesn't really mater now. Hell, it was only ten years ago that they started taking outside keepers. I mean, damn just got an owl from Gin, wanting to know about keeping." Charlie flopped in a nearby chair, it creaked loudly as it took his weight. He took a much too long draw on his mug, then turned his eyes to the small window. It seemed he hoped the answer was outside.
