1st Diary Entry | Video | Night 385

[The video clicks on showing a close up of a woman's green eyes and then moves away showing her face and curly blonde hair, lots of it. She is smiling, pleased to see that the video is working.]

Hello, Asgard. Pleased to meet all of you. My name is River Song.

[But she isn't here just to introduce herself to the world.]

I have a request, actually. It'd be very nice if anyone looking for employees would reply to this so we can have a little chat, as I am looking for employment at the moment.

I am rather flexible and don't have any particular preferences. Up to anything, really.

Thank you. Just give me a call.

[With a wink, the feed ends ...]

[Filtered from the Eleventh Doctor]

[... but not really. There is just a little more.]

Oh, and I'd really appreciate pointers to a place that sells guns and other weaponry.

See you around.

[She blows a kiss at the camera and then she is gone.]

[She is all smiles as she meets Harry face to face for the first time. He is adorable, really, with his black hair and glasses and shorter than her. She could certainly get used to seeing him often.]

Hello. My pleasure. Thank you for having me, Harry.

[River offers her hand and announces her name again, despite him knowing it already.]

River Song. Professor of Archaeology.

[Harry only hesitates in taking her hand because of her announced profession. His eyes widen in shock, but he does finally take it, gripping firmly.]

Hello, Professor—er—[He pauses, skipping a beat.]—Are you certain this is what you'd like to do?

[She shakes his hand, smiling broadly. It's quite cute how he stopped and stared, just for a moment.]

Just call me, River, please. Not like I am your teacher.

[Letting go of his hand, she steps inside, to take a good look at the shop and what it holds.]

Why are you asking? As I told you, I think it's a lovely opportunity to meet people here and I am sure not going to teach at Professor Snape's school, if that is what you'd like to suggest. I always preferred field work to a classroom.

Well ... I can't fault you for that. I'm not able to do it much here, but I eventually have a position back home that's a bit more active, too. [Being an Auror, anyway, so he can sympathize with the desire to keep moving, to keep active and involved.]

I just hope you don't mind. It is easy work. In comparison.

Harry. I surely would not have considered your offering if I minded, now would I?

[She offers a reassuring smile.] I assure you that it's fine. It does not have to be the only thing I do, either, so no worries.

That's true, well ... [She's very nice. That's a good thing.]

You can consider yourself hired.

Thank you. That's what I wanted to hear.

[She smirks, looking around once more.]

So, how exactly does this work?

Well, before, I used to have to help deliver packages, but now that you're here ... [Now that she's here, things are different. He has to rethink the system a little.] I generally give a choice. That way, people can choose whether they want it to come from my owl ... or myself and Davesprite. Now that you're here, it'll be either a person or my owl. Sometimes, people like the novelty of the owl, you see. [He smiles at the thought of that.]

But first, I need you to learn the city like the back of your hand. Are you good at memorizing maps?

I can see that. Kind of your place's specialty, isn't it?

Cannot be worse than some of the excavations I attended. Do you have a map, I can use?
