1: Trouble At T'mill…
The hem of his red cloak whipped around his ankles as he marched angrily down the corridors of the Ministry of Magic's Auror Division. The heels of his boots connected loudly with the flagstones giving anyone in his way warning that he was approaching and they should stay clear.
A young intern yelped at the sneer on his face and pressed herself against the wall to make way for the Senior Auror, cowering back against the stone to try and make herself invisible; however, it caused her to drop the stack of paperwork she was clutching and she floundered, hopelessly trying to pick them up without getting in his way. He growled audibly and muttered something about 'imbecilic dunderheads' as he passed by. The intern sighed in relief as he went on his way.
Reaching his destination, a rather innocent-looking door with a glass pane, he charged through it without even considering knocking and then slammed the door closed behind him. The Chief Auror, Kingsley Shacklebolt, looked up from his desk and smiled thinly. "Ah, Severus, I see you must have received my memo."
Severus pulled himself up to his full height; coupled with his Auror uniform that was usually enough to intimidate anyone. "I will not do it," he growled dangerously.
Shacklebolt raised an eyebrow at his subordinate and sat back in his chair, evidently not intimidated in the slightest. "I think you will find that I am the commanding officer here, Snape; you'll do as instructed."
"Surely after everything I have done I should have some power of veto."
Shacklebolt sighed wearily having heard this rant from Severus Snape before. "I am more than aware – as is the whole of the Wizarding World – of your valiant efforts during the war and the years of undercover work beforehand. But you can't continue to use that as a way of weaselling your way out of assignments you don't like."
Snape opened his mouth to speak but Shacklebolt waved his unheard protests to one side. "I'm afraid there is someone whose desires outweigh even yours with the head of our department. There's no way I can deny the request of the Saviour of the Wizarding World." Shacklebolt left his seat and walked over to Snape, patting him on the shoulder. "Auror Potter has petitioned the Minister for you to be his trainer and mentor – and, no matter how much you object, that's exactly what he's going to get."
"But why? We'll kill each other," Snape said flatly, although the tone of his voice failed to hide the fact he knew he was beaten.
"This was Auror Potter's idea. Apparently he wants to learn interrogation techniques – and he wants to learn them from the best. It seems, once again, your reputation precedes you, Severus."
Harry Potter straightened his Auror robes and tried, in vain, to slick down the wayward wisps of hair that had defied him for years. Now in his late twenties, a war veteran and hero, he thought he should no longer feel like a naughty schoolboy waiting for a detention. Unfortunately, even with the past they'd shared – or possibly because of it – he couldn't escape the fact that Snape made him feel like a first year caught out after curfew.
The message had said – no ordered – him to get his short arse to Snape's office at ten o'clock sharp. Harry knew that being even a few seconds late would sufficiently annoy the other man to give him reason to back out of the arrangement. That was why he was standing here five minutes early. Merlin, he thought to himself, I should have gone the whole bloody way and brought an apple for the teacher and then see how long it would take Snape to throw me out on my arse.
Harry rapped on the door to Snape's office and entered when called. Snape's office surprised him. Unlike his dungeon-dwelling days at Hogwarts Snape seemed to prefer bright light and modern furniture. There wasn't a wingback chair in sight, nor did a single jar containing something vile grace a shelf. The man himself looked up from behind his ergonomically-designed desk and scowled. Yep, thought Harry, still the same old, ugly bastard he ever was.
"I see you've managed to learn the important life skill of punctuality," drawled Snape as he stood up. "And it only seems to have taken twenty-seven years and fifteen near-death experiences. Will wonders never cease?"
Harry bit painfully down on his tongue, holding back his natural urge to snap back. "Yes, sir."
Snape raised an eyebrow. "Careful, Potter. You're in danger of impressing me with a mature attitude."
Stepping out from behind his desk, Snape moved noiselessly to a bookcase and extracted three slim volumes and handed them to Harry. "They are not the current thinking in Auror training and investigation techniques… in fact they're not even Auror books. I don't expect you to read them cover to cover but you will recognise a number of pertinent chapters."
"Thank you, sir." Harry looked down at his homework, expecting cleverly-titled wizard textbooks, but was surprised to find that they were manuals from the Muggle Metropolitan Police Force and one on SAS survival skills. "Er…"
Snape smiled at his confusion, it was rather unnerving. "I didn't stay alive this long by following the same rules as everyone else, Potter. Muggles don't have magic, but they can be very inventive when they need to be."
Harry nodded dumbly. He really shouldn't be surprised that Snape was so surprising. "So where do we start, sir?" he asked with respect.
Snape leaned against his desk and crossed his arms over his chest. "I have read your record, Potter, and you've had quite an impressive career to date. So really the question should be: want do you want from me?"
Harry had been ready for this. Snape was as suspicious now as he had ever been. And the man could spot bullshit from a mile away. "I've heard about your ability to get information out of a suspect." He smiled apologetically before continuing, "The other lads call it the Snapish Inquisition. I'm curious; I want to know how you achieve the results you do. I want to be able to do the same."
"But why?" pressed Snape.
Harry smirked. "I don't like the thought of someone being able to do something better than me, sir."
From the twitch of Snape's lips Harry could tell he'd amused him. Just how different was this Snape from the one he'd known at school? Where was the malevolent, sniping git who lived to make his life a misery? Harry couldn't answer that question, but he added it to the list of many things he wanted to find out from his old teacher.
"You're a cocky bugger, aren't you, Potter? Let's see if you can finally learn something from me. Next time I'm called to interrogate a suspect you will come with me."
2: Amongst Our Weaponry
Harry stood outside the door of Interview Room Three. Snape was skimming through a number of sheets of parchment he was holding, rereading sections and constantly looking back over sentences. His dark eyes finally looked at Harry. "Most of the people who come to my attention are either immune to truth serums or under a Fidelius charm. The individual behind this door falls into the first category and is suspected of dealing with magical explosives which cause spatial and temporal rips in the universe. I have been asked by the Unmentionable Division to have a little chat with Mr Calib Heminster."
"Bloody hell," exclaimed Harry. "That sort of magic has been banned since the 1842 Act of Tempus Constructus."
"I am perfectly aware of that. Though I suppose I should be surprised that you knew. Come on, we've a suspect to …" Snape smirked, "… visit."
Harry stepped forward but Snape stopped him with a hand to his chest. "One thing, Potter. You are here to observe. You will watch, not speak, not interfere. You of all people should know that any reputation I may have earned will have been well deserved."
Nodding dumbly, not really knowing how to reply to Snape, Harry followed him into the interview room. To be honest he had expected Snape to say something of the sort but not quite so plainly, but that had been a clear warning and now he was even more apprehensive at just what Snape's technique consisted of.
Interview Room Three was nothing more than a bright, square space containing three chairs and a table. The suspect was sitting on one of the chairs and the young Auror who was guarding him saluted and disappeared as Snape pointed towards the door. Harry moved to stand against the back wall so as not to get in Snape's way and stood facing Heminster.
Heminster had dirty blond, shoulder-length hair that lay lank against gaunt, tanned cheeks. His eyes were dark brown but sparkled with recognition as Harry watched him. There was a smirk on his face. "I am honoured," Heminster rasped out, "the Saviour of the Wizarding World here to see little old me."
"Auror Potter is here in the line of duty," said Snape tonelessly. He threw the parchment he'd been reading on the table. "As am I."
The smirk dropped from Heminster's face. "Snape?"
"Yes, Heminster. It seems you remember your old Head of House. Your father would be ashamed."
"If you hadn't killed him!" spat Heminster. "You're a fucking traitor, you lying, two-faced bastard!"
Snape appeared not to hear the tirade and instead sat in the unoccupied chair. "Dabbling in family magic, I see, Calib. Tut, tut, tut," said Snape, waggling his finger in Heminster's direction. "Hardly the brightest, were you? Yes, Lord Heminster would have been mortified that his son had been so stupid."
"You are not fit to speak his name!" Heminster was nearly on his feet leaning across the table, his fists balled in anger.
As fluidly as he had sat, Snape stood and walked behind his prisoner. He weaved his fingers into Heminster's hair, the younger man flinching at Snape's touch. With a painful jerk Snape pulled Heminster back into his chair. He moved in close, their noses almost touching. "Behave yourself," Snape almost whispered. "Your father was made an example of; don't let your fate run parallel with his."
Snape returned to his seat, removing his wand from its holster and placing it gently on the table in front of him. "Now, back to business."
"I want my lawyer," demanded Heminster.
"What you want is not of interest to me, to my colleague Auror Potter here, or – quite frankly – anybody else within screaming distance."
Harry saw that Snape had kept eye contact with Heminster, making him squirm uneasily. The unveiled threats were also starting to take their toll but surely they couldn't be the only weapons in Snape's armoury. What else did the man do to suspects to obtain information? A not-so-small part of Harry wanted Heminster to hold out as long as possible just so he could see what Snape was really capable of.
"You're not my teacher now, Snape. I won't let you bully me," said Heminster defiantly, despite the squirming.
Snape reached forward and laid his hand on his wand and mumbled something that Harry didn't hear and from the look on Heminster's face he hadn't understood. The power of Snape's magic made the hair on the back of Harry's neck stand up and a warm, sensual sensation slithered over his skin. He worried his bottom lip to contain a moan. It wasn't having the same effect on their suspect and Harry took a number of deep, calming breaths to steady himself. Snape's magic was obviously sympathetic with his own. He'd witnessed this before with others, but Snape was the last person he'd expect to be truly compatible with. Blinking away the lust, Harry focused on the sight before him.
Heminster was shaking his head, seemingly to clear it. Snape was standing again but now a young woman around Harry's age stood next to the table. Harry could tell immediately that is was a powerful illusion but Heminster couldn't. He stood staring at the woman; his hand came up to touch her. "How? You. I…"
Harry watched Snape's hand hover above his wand, each twitch or slight moment affected the apparition. "Oh, Calib," she sighed wearily.
Heminster stepped towards the young woman, but with a wiggle of Snape's little finger she moved out of his reach. "Emma, please," Heminster implored.
The young woman gently shook her head, her long, blonde hair falling to obscure her face. "You've proved me right," she said sadly. "I was right to leave."
"No, my angel, please…" Heminster fell to his knees, his hands reaching out to her.
"I can't believe a word you say, Calib. You need to show me I can trust you. Tell me the truth about what's been going on."
Heminster was by now oblivious to anyone around him apart from Emma. Harry saw him bury his face in his hands and sob loudly. Snape's technique, while breaking most of the Ministry's rules for interviewing suspects, was certainly effective. Words that condemned him fell from Heminster's lips as he unburdened himself to the ethereal Emma. Much of the particulars of the magic he'd used were beyond Harry's current knowledge, but Snape was smiling crookedly, no doubt pleased at the results he was getting.
Harry wasn't sure how long Heminster continued to talk, but as he came to an end he sniffed noisily and wiped his nose on his sleeve. For the first time since they'd entered the room, Snape looked at him and gestured with a flick of his eyes for them to leave. With a complicated hand movement Snape banished Emma and together Snape and Harry left the defeated Heminster kneeling on the floor.
Harry was bursting to ask questions but Snape glared at him as he began to speak. "Not until we reach my office," he ordered.
They marched shoulder to shoulder down the corridors to Snape's office, Harry deliberately keeping pace with his new mentor, not letting Snape get the better of him with his longer stride. Once behind closed doors, Snape pointed to a chair in front of his desk and Harry sat down. "Right, we will start the debrief. Any comments?"
Harry hesitated for a moment. He'd learnt to pick his battles; he knew it was relatively easy to upset Snape and a careless word now would end this arrangement. "How did you do it?"
Snape stood facing away from him, his hands clasped behind his back. "Let's start with the basics, Potter. What did I do?"
"The only thing I am certain of was that whatever you did it wasn't in the Ministry's protocols and procedures."
Snape laughed. "Hardly unexpected. Now don't waste my time on niceties."
Harry decided not to argue for once. "I'm not sure how you did it but you managed to manipulate him using someone close to him."
"Correct." Snape turned around. "Will wonders never cease? Emma is Heminster's ex-wife. She left him four months ago, taking their young son with her. All you need to know is what buttons to press; the rest is child's play."
"But how did you know?"
Snape sighed dramatically. "Legilimency, idiot."
Harry's brow crinkled. "That's not possible. You didn't cast the spell or have eye contact."
Snape chuckled darkly. "I didn't need to, my skills are well beyond that level. I had all the contact I needed when I grabbed his hair. Once I knew his weakness I exploited it using a little-known Arabic illusion charm."
Harry sat dumbly in his chair. Snape was a devious bastard, a man with negligible scruples and a very dark sense of humour. He shivered involuntarily as he remembered how Snape's magic had slithered over his skin. Bloody hell, he thought, I'm doomed!
3: Poke Her With The Comfy Cushion
Thanks to a hastily arranged assignment, Harry hadn't been at headquarters for nearly two weeks. He'd hardly had time to check his looming pile of messages when an airborne memo smacked painfully against the side of his head. Unfolding the missive he wasn't surprised to find a short note from Snape:
You're back – about time. Interview Room 3 – now!
Senior Auror S. Snape
Harry hurried towards the Interview Rooms, arriving slightly out of breath. Snape looked him up and down and tutted. "You're supposed to be in the prime of health, Potter, not panting like an overweight hippogriff!"
"Sorry, sir," he said catching his breath, "I got a faceful of lungimelt dust on my last assignment; the healers have given me the all clear but evidently I'm not one hundred percent yet."
"Well, just don't pass out while we're in here – its bad enough having you about without you being an embarrassment."
Snape pushed past him and once again Harry followed Snape to watch him work. Today's suspect was already waiting for them, seated demurely at a table. This time it was a young witch. She sat with her head bowed, her hands clutched together in her lap and her body trembling. Harry thought she looked petrified but Snape either didn't notice – which was unlikely, to say the least – or he didn't care.
The witch was young: late teens, early twenties maybe. She lifted her head to look at Snape as he sat opposite her and Harry saw her large blue eyes were red-rimmed with tears and her cheeks were flushed. Part of him felt sorry for her, but another part knew that she must have done something to deserve being confronted with Snape. As far as he had heard no one had been brought before the Snapish Inquisition without good reason.
"Marsha Folentine?" asked Snape and the witch nodded. "You are accused of breeding vampiric wyverns."
"Oh, sir!" she cried sounding desperate. "This is all some terrible mistake. They weren't supposed to be like that."
Snape sneered. "Auror Potter over there might look gormless enough for you to believe he was born yesterday, but I can assure you, Ms Folentine, I certainly wasn't."
"Sir, it was a simple mistake that I am unable to fully comprehend. Somehow my blood-sucking Venus Flytrap managed to bite one of my pregnant wyverns and before I knew it I had a clutch of thirsty babies springing out of eggs."
Harry could see that Snape was not convinced. "Balderdash! Do not underestimate my knowledge by concocting such a wildly ridiculous explanation."
Snape removed his wand and placed it on the table in front of him; Harry saw Marsha flinch. "Your so-called explanation did not convince any of the other investigators, and quite frankly it does not convince me."
Like the previous occasion, Snape held his hand over his wand and waggled his fingers without breaking eye contact with the suspect. Snape was obviously practising Legilimency but seemed to struggle for a brief moment, shown only by a slight tic of his right eye. Then at his feet a small child sat on the floor by the table. He was probably no more than three, a sticky, chocolate-smeared urchin who giggled happily as he played with the toy dragon in his hand.
The rush of lust once again assaulted Harry, Snape's magic causing a delicious throb in his crotch. He shook it away as Folentine wailed at the apparition in front of them. The child waved his dragon at her and she sobbed loudly. Snape had gone too far this time, this was unacceptable. He had to stop it.
Harry stepped forward. "Snape!" he barked. "You are out of order."
Snape whirled around to glower at Harry. "This is not your business. Keep your mouth shut, you cretin."
The interruption had distracted Snape and the phantom child had disappeared. Now Folentine's cry was one of anger and before they could do anything to stop her, Folentine flung herself at Snape, her long canines bared and aiming for his jugular.
"Fucking hell, Potter, do something!" ordered Snape has he lay splayed on the floor trying to hold the struggling vampire at bay.
Snapped out of his reverie Harry drew his wand and transfigured it into a stake. He leaped to Snape's assistance and drove the wood through the vampire's back and down into her heart. Folentine was quickly reduced to ash and Snape lay panting on the floor.
Snape's face contorted into a grimace; he looked as angry as hell. "What the fuck did you do that for?" he demanded, getting to his feet. "You of all people should realise that witches are just as deadly as wizards… what with that infernal dog-father's untimely end at the point of Lestrange's wand."
"It had nothing to do with sex," shouted Harry in reply. "You were tormenting her with the child. To me that was unacceptable!"
"How dare you question me? My methods work!" Snape loomed over Harry, the flecks of spittle flying from his mouth as he spoke. "I warned you not to interfere."
Harry stood his ground. "Your methods only work because no one dares to report you! What would happen if someone complained?"
"Well, thanks to you that won't be a problem in this case," Snape drawled sarcastically, but he appeared to back down slightly. "If you're so brilliant, Potter, where is your answer to the department's difficult suspects?"
Harry nervously licked his lips. His brain worked frantically to give Snape an answer which wouldn't result in his innards being used to make potions. "I'm not stupid, or green enough to think that all cases can be solved by simply asking questions politely. But we could work as a team…"
"I beg your pardon?" said Snape, nonplussed.
Harry wasn't sure from where in the darkest regions of the organ he called his brain the idea had come from, but it had bypassed his usual logic synapses that stopped him blurting things out. "Have you ever heard of the Muggle phrase: 'good cop, bad cop'?"
Snape blinked, his expression frozen in a grimace that, although unattractive, still couldn't remove the thought of how good the man's magic had felt from Harry's mind. "Potter, you do realise that Muggle television is not real? Those 1970s TV series weren't true."
"Oh course I do," said Harry abruptly.
Before Harry could continue with his idea Snape's demeanour changed dramatically. He stepped back and appeared to be thinking. "Actually, Potter, you might have something there."
"I do?" said Harry, trying not to sound surprised.
Snape clapped a hand on Harry's shoulder. "What would unnerve a suspect more? You, the boy with the golden bollocks, the Wizarding world's pin-up, and me with a reputation so bad that it would make my own grandmother cry – and believe me she was a tough old bird. They'd trust you – stupid fools. I could threaten them and you could step in like the nauseous knight in shining amour they all think you are. Excellent!"
"I'll jot down some ideas and send them to you."
Harry's jaw dropped and Snape bared his crooked, yellow teeth in a smile and winked at him. "Maybe the Ministry did something right for once making you an Auror. Next time I send for you, we'll try out your plan."
Dazed and somewhat confused, Harry watched Snape walk away, kicking the pile of ashes that had previously been Marsha Folentine to one side as he went. A slow grin spread itself across Harry's face.
4: Confess! Confess! Confess!
Harry tapped the nib of his quill impatiently against the inkpot; the Ministry's quills were as unreliable as the quality of the food in the canteen. He tried again to fill out an incident report on a recent case but the ink blotted messily over his clean sheet of parchment.
"Stop wasting time with sub-standard stationery, Potter." Harry's head snapped up to see Snape leaning over his desk.
"I've got the perfect suspect to test our plan." Snape jerked his head as if to say 'come with me'. "Daisy Parkinson was arrested yesterday and so far we've not been able to get a word out of her. Like her little sister, Pansy, Daisy was in my House at Hogwarts, and has seen first hand what I am capable of. She'll be scared shitless, but not enough to tell us where the rest of the Death Eaters are hiding. But you can convince her otherwise, I'm sure." There was a malicious glint in his dark eyes, and Harry could tell Snape was really looking forward to this.
Harry stood up. "I've been thinking about this..."
"Not your forte, Potter. Leave that to me."
"No, Snape, I'm serious." Harry grabbed Snape's arm, ignoring the scowl. "What if it doesn't work?"
"It will. Trust me. Promise Parkinson the moon on a stick if you need to. But it will work, just follow the general themes of those ideas I sent you."
To Harry Snape seemed overly confident, but he shrugged his shoulders and followed the senior Auror to the cells. Through the hatch of one the retention cells the painfully thin form of Daisy Parkinson could be seen. She sat on a bench wearing a Ministry-provided robe and shoes. Although now clean, Harry thought that she must have showered since being brought in. No one, not even a Parkinson, could stay clean and presentable after over a year on the run.
Using a spell that only the senior Aurors, knew Snape unlocked the cell door and they entered. Parkinson looked up, her eyes narrowing on seeing Snape but unlike Heminster she bit her tongue and held the diatribe that Harry was sure she wanted to release at Snape behind her teeth.
"Daisy, it's been a long time," said Snape coldly. "Let's not beat about the bush: where are they?"
Parkinson sat back, leaning against the wall of the cell and crossed her legs primly. She smiled. "Who do you mean, Severus?"
"The rest of the band of not-so-merry men you've been enjoying spending time with for the last year." Snape's tone was pleasant, almost jovial. He stood neutrally, examining his hands, without looking at Parkinson. "Those fellows who have a penchant for maiming Muggles and murder."
"I remember the days when you could have been counted amongst such gentlemen."
Quick as a flash Snape's hand shot out and grabbed Parkinson around the throat. "Don't push me, you little bitch!" he hissed, his face inches away from the witch. "I've snapped more worthy necks than yours."
Harry knew it was time to play his part. He strode forward and pulled Snape's hand away. "Merlin sake's, man." He made the pretence of examining Parkinson's throat for damage. "This is not the way we work."
"It's how I work, Potter. Leave me alone and I'll have the answer I want within the hour."
Harry saw the look of terror in Parkinson's eyes at the prospect of being left alone with Snape. "Not a chance."
The terror was replaced with gratitude and for the first time Harry thought that his idea might just work. She smiled weakly. "Mr Potter," she began, pointing at Snape, "this man is an animal."
"I am fully aware of what Auror Snape is, madam. But you must realise one way or another we need to obtain answers. Now you can either tell me, and I will do my utmost to protect you – not just from Snape but from your companions – or I am afraid I may have to leave him to his methods."
Snape threw his hands into the air. "Want do you want to protect this worthless tramp for?" he demanded.
"She is a witness, an important part of the case. I'm sure we can get her to cooperate."
Snape snorted derisively. "Bollocks. Let me do it my way!"
"No," whimpered Parkinson. "I'll talk to Mr Potter. But I want protection and I want him to leave."
"Agreed," said Harry and Snape hid his smirk well as he left.
"My office when you've finished, Potter," Snape shot back over his shoulder as he closed the door behind him.
Harry returned to Snape's office with a spring in his step. When Snape opened his door Harry knew that the man was in an equally good mood. Harry took a seat and Snape opened the bottom drawer of his desk and removed a bottle and two crystal tumblers.
"I think that was most successful, Auror Potter," said Snape. He poured two glasses of Talisker, handing Harry one of the whiskies. He raised his glass. "To our continued success, Harry."
Harry returned the toast and smiled. "Definitely, Severus."
The same tingle he had witnessed before caressed Harry's skin. From where he was sitting Severus didn't appearing to be casting a spell, but he could feel the other man's energy coming off him in waves. Again Harry had to bite his lower lip to stop the moan escaping and closed his eyes.
"You feel it too?"
Harry's eyes snapped open and he stared at Severus who was smiling ruefully. "Do I really have to answer that?"
Severus chuckled darkly and knocked back the remainder of his whisky. "I take it that you wouldn't be averse to investigating it further?"
"I certainly wouldn't mind you being my inquisitor."
Following suit, Harry finished his whisky in one swallow and stood up, finding himself face to face with Severus. Snape was not a facially attractive man, his nose was too hooked, his skin sallow and his teeth in dire need of an orthodontist, but none of that mattered. Snape closed the gap between them and Harry felt his whole body thrum with excitement as their magic mingled. His vision began to swim and his eyes closed. Just before he fell unconsciousness, he was sure he heard Snape chuckle once more.
5: (Not) The Comfy Chair
Harry's head felt like it was stuffed with cotton wool. He opened his eyes but saw nothing, his vision impaired by the blindfold. Shaking his head to clear it he realised he was sitting down, tied in place, his arms bound together at the wrists behind him and secured firmly to the chair. He tried to move his legs but they too were tethered. A breeze across his flesh made him realise, all too slowly, that he was also naked. There was a click from behind, the sound, he believed, of a door closing quietly. He heard three gentle footfalls, barely there but he could just make them out. Hot breath ghosted over his ear. The delicious sensation of a familiar magic washed over his naked body and he moaned lustfully in anticipation.
"Time for you to discover, Harry," came the deep, purring voice, "why no one expects… or forgets… the Snapish Inquisition."

London firm Kingsford Stacey Blackwell is due to open a specialist personal injury claims unit this week staffed by 60 lawyers, making it one of the largest in the UK.
Kingsford Stacey went on a massive recruitment drive in May, bringing in 50 new fee earners to deal with calls from the public.
The firm has taken new offices in Fetter Lane to house the staff.
The expansion follows the firm's success in securing work from "a few major insurance companies".
Head of personal injury Simon Pinner refuses to name the clients, but claims the new office will be dealing with more than one per cent of the UK's motor accident injury legal market.
"We have secured a significant amount of new work," says Pinner. "And it is all on relatively long-term contracts. This is not a speculative expansion."
He expects the new set-up to attract clients, and says the expansion will continue. "We have got room for another 20 or 30 people," he says.
Managing partner Charles Rankmore says: "This has been a period of intensive and extraordinary growth for this department, and the rest of the firm is not far behind."

The husband and I have been thinking of getting a new car. That means for us getting a Vauxhall, not because we particularly like Vauxhall, but because there is an excellent Vauxhall Garage (Murketts of Cambridge if you want to know), about five minutes walk from our house. That means you can take the car in without having to worry about the "courtesy car" to get you back home. And anyway they are extremely nice (by which I mean when you have a silly problem that you ought to be able to solve yourself, they solve it for you and dont treat you as an idiot). We have been going there for 20 tears or so.
So the garage is a done deal, and if that means a Vauxhall, so be it. We've never had any problems (except the clock on our last one is always running slow, and the sat nav isn't state of the art... but that isn't a big deal).
Anyway, we had kind of decided that we would get a new Corsa. In the old days, we had needed something a bit more capacious with the kids, but now a little Corsa is quite big (and good) enough for us.
However, when I got back from Italy, the husband was on the point of changing his allegiance. He had just been sent the new Corsa brochure. Illustration on the first page is above.

Differences withing govt over Italian envoy's diplomatic immunity
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid to discuss the Italian marines issue.
New Delhi: A day after sending out a stern warning to Italy, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on Thursday and reports indicate that the issue of the Italian marines is likely to be discussed. This could include what punitive actions need to be taken in the stand off with Italy.
Meanwhile, there are reports of differences within the government over Italian ambassador to India Daniele Mancini's diplomatic immunity. While the Home Ministry has asked the External Affairs Ministry to ensure the ambassador is not able to invoke his diplomatic immunity, the MEA has cited the Vienna convention to say doing so would affect Indian diplomats abroad.
Sources had earlier indicated that the Italian Ambassador may be asked to leave. The Italian ambassador to India, Daniele Mancini, has, however, said that he will not leave India until he is made persona non grata, meaning an unwelcome person, over the Italian marines row.
"I will not leave this country till a competent authority makes me persona non grata.. I am more than glad to live in this country for years to come," he told reporters on the sidelines of a function when asked whether he was afraid that he may be asked to leave the country.
Meanwhile, Italy has insisted it is on solid legal ground in seeking international arbitration in the case. Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi told reporters in Israel, "We have juridically solid reasons to proceed in the direction of international arbitration The Indian government is amply apprised of all it needs to know about our reasons, as do many of our partners."
There was ruckus in Parliament over the issue on Wednesday with the BJP claiming collusion between New Delhi and Rome. Following this, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh did speak tough, warning Italy of grave consequences if the marines were not sent back for trial in the Indian fishermen killings case. "They have violated every rule of diplomatic discourse and call into question solemn commitments given by an accredited representative of a government," Singh said in the Lok Sabha which witnessed uproar during Question Hour as well as Zero Hour over the issue.
Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy also met the Prime Minister and discussed the issue on Wednesday. After the meeting Chandy said the marines will have to come back to India to face trial in the Kerala fishermen murder case.
The Supreme Court had given them permission to stay out of the country only till March 22. The two marines are facing trial for killing two fishermen off the Kerala coast in February 2012, mistaking them for pirates.

Hello Akshay,
If you want an entry level tyre with decent performance and grip then go for Goodyear Assurance Triplemax tyre. If you want something better then go for Bridgestone Turanza ER300. However, if you are looking at an intermediate tyre then MRF ZSLK would be a very good option. It is better than Assurance triplemax but not as good as Turanza.
Hi Naveen,
Generally tyres lasts for about 40,000-50,000 km. However this figure is just an estimated figure. Tyre wear depends on number of factors like your driving style, general maintenance like alignment/balancing and checking tyre pressures regularly.

Your pictures brought back many memories,I lived on the island of Bali for a year,and spent time traveling around many of the Indonesian Islands.
Hi Anna:
A whole year in Bali? Wow — that's got to be something! I had a month to travel in Indonesia. It wasn't enough time at all for even the three islands I visited (Sumatra, Java and Bali). I could have easily spent a month just in Bali alone! I love Indonesia — and will go back again. :)

Funds, SEC Watch General American
August 23, 1999
Mutual fund companies and the SEC are watching developments at General American Life Insurance Company of St. Louis, Mo. A handful of fund companies, including OppenheimerFunds of New York, Federated Investors of Pittsburgh, Northern Trust Corp. of Chicago and Alliance Capital Management LP of New York, hold in their money market funds, short-term funding agreements issued by General American. The firm was placed under the supervision of Missouri insurance regulators Aug. 11. Representatives of the funds said they expect their investments will be repaid. "It's illiquidity, not insolvency," said J.T. Tuskan, a spokesperson for Federated. The SEC is monitoring the situation, a spokesperson said.

Hey guys, guess what? I write a beautiful Christmas lemon for you! Haha, you should all be happy now! My first lemon! XD I promise there is more one-shots coming, I just haven't had the time to write them because Grandma is visiting and, well, my family is slightly homophobic so it's harder to write. Anyway, review once you finish! :D
Disclaimer: Would I be here if I owned this glorious show? No.
Christmas Day. It was always such a big deal at Bey Lin Temple. No-one remembered how it started, but the celebration was most of the Temple's inhabitants favourite. All the gift giving, time spent together and, of course, the fun and laughter the holiday brought to the Temple's usually hard-working environment. It was nice.
Presents were Chao Xin's favourite part of Christmas though. That's how he found himself standing in the marketplace trying to choose a present for his forever-loving boyfriend, Da Xiang, on Christmas Eve. And very quickly, he was discovering that it was truly impossible to find a present for him.
What would you get China's best blader? It's not like you could just get him a book or some underwear or even a fluffy pink horse plushie! Actually, that was a good idea!
Chao Xin walked around the marketplace again until he came to a stall selling a hundred or so plushies, looking through them all until he found the cutest, most girly looking stuffed animal. There it was. A hot pink unicorn with a light purple mane.
It was perfect.
"I'll get the unicorn thanks," he said to the stall owner, getting some money out of his wallet.
"For a special lady?" The stall owner asked, taking the money offered to him and handing the plushie over.
Chao Xin smiled. "You could say that."
The eighteen year old smiled the entire way back to his bedroom where he wrapped the Christmas present and added it to the pile in the bottom of his closet. Sometimes he was extremely glad that he only had to buy presents for his best friends. If he had to buy stuff for anyone else, well he'd be pretty screwed.
Smiling at his work, Chao Xin decided it was about time for dinner, he couldn't wait to ask Da Xiang what he got him for Christmas.
"Chao Xin, stop moving," Da Xiang said, trying to sleep. His head was resting atop Chao Xin's chest but he was currently contemplating kicking the boy out of the bed so he could sleep.
"Sorry," Chao Xin replied. "It's Christmas tomorrow though! You know what that means!"
Da Xiang really was going to kick him out soon. He was also starting to regret agreeing to watch movies with his boyfriend tomorrow night. He probably wouldn't be able to stay awake through them if Chao Xin didn't settle down now anyway.
"If you don't stop you can sleep on the floor."
There was a bit more movement from Chao Xin while he got comfortable before he stilled, allowing Da Xiang to drift into a peaceful sleep.
Chao Xin lay awake for quite a while after his partner had fallen asleep just playing with the black hair that rested on him. 'What did I ever do to deserve him?' He wondered. 'It will remain a mystery.'
Before long these thoughts sent the male into a blissful slumber.
"PRESENTS!" Chao Xin screamed the next morning when the four friends had grouped, each holding three other presents in their arms. The other three just rolled their eyes at him.
"How do you even put up with him Da Xiang?" Chi-yun asked.
Da Xiang smiled. "I'm not sure sometimes."
Chao Xin tried not to laugh at this comment when he thought of the present he'd got Da Xiang. He was going to be a dead man by the end of this.
"Who's opening presents first?" Mei Mei asked, sitting down on the ground with her friends.
"You can I guess."
Everyone passed their gifts to Mei Mei while the excited girl tore off the paper to each present. She got an array of make up, a stuffed teddy and a book. Next was Chi-yun, then Chao Xin and then Da Xiang.
Chao Xin sat and waited patiently for Da Xiang to open the present he'd got him, trying not to seem too giggly about it, otherwise it would give him away. In retrospect, Da Xiang deserved this present. Da Xiang had given Chao Xin an assortment of books and as everyone knew, he hated books.
As the wrapping paper on the present was slowly pulled away Da Xiang's facial expression changed between a range of emotions. It settled on pissed off. A feral growl was the only warning Chao Xin got before he was crushed between the ground and Da Xiang.
"What. Is. This?" Da Xiang asked through his teeth.
A smile appeared on the brunette's face. "A plushie."
"You're going to die."
It's safe to say that Chao Xin felt a lot of pain in the next five minutes. What did he expect though?
Later that night the pair were watching a movie when Da Xiang turned to Chao Xin. "Are you sure you're okay?"
Chao Xin turned, smiling. "I'm fine. Stop worrying! Besides, I did deserve it... Mostly."
"You did. Really though, a unicorn plushie?"
"Hey! It was worth it! I didn't know what to get you. What did you want anyway?" Chao Xin asked, looking at his boyfriend curiously.
The black haired male seemed to think deeply before answering, though it was obvious he was faking it. "I can think of a few things that I wanted. I think you'd like at least one of them too though."
Chao Xin was about to ask what he'd like when a pair of lips cut him off. He didn't hesitate to respond either. Da Xiang's tongue forced it way into Chao Xin's mouth, giving the brunette an idea of what he had in mind.
Without another moment, Chao Xin flipped the pair applying more force to the slightly elders lips. They both knew exactly what they wanted and they were going to get it. Their clothed groins rubbed against each other roughly as Chao Xin moved to get more comfortable, eliciting a loud moan from both males.
"Chao Xin..." The slightly elder moaned into their never-breaking kiss.
The kiss had become rough and messy, the way they liked it. After a good five minutes Chao XIn broke the kiss, nibbling on Da Xiang's ear while he slowly undid the shirt covering the pale chest. He took his time kissing, sucking and licking down Da Xiang's chest, stopping at his left nipple so he could enjoy the moans coming from his lovers mouth even more.
"Ch-Chao Xin," Da Xiang moaned arching his body up.
The brunette chuckled. "Impatient today my dear?"
All he received in reply was another moan and his shirt being lifted up. His raised his arms so the shirt could come off and didn't hesitate with getting the button on Da Xiang's pants undone. The pants slid off easily, boxers going with them, leaving the teen completely exposed.
Chao Xin smirked. His lover was already hard and leaking pre cum. He began stroking the cock, coming up to kiss Da Xiang again. Pulling away, he held out three fingers. There was no way he could be bothered to go back to his room for the lube. Da Xiang knew what was required of him, making sure that the fingers in front of him were thoroughly coated in saliva.
Once the fingers were covered, Chao Xin started entering fingers into Da Xiang's hole. The first finger slid in easily, only getting a low groan which was easily covered up by the make out session that had begun again. The second finger earned a quiet whimper as Chao Xin scissored his fingers but wasn't felt as much as the third finger which received a more pained reaction.
Satisfied, Chao Xin removed the three fingers and flipped Da Xiang over, pulling his own dick from his pants and positioning himself at the entrance, pushing in slowly.
Da Xiang moaned in pleasure and pain as a strong hand wrapped around his own hard member pumping him in time with Chao Xin's thrusts.
"Chao Xin, faster," Da Xiang moaned, his wish granted in an instant. "I-I'm gonna- Ah."
Da Xiang moaned as his came onto Chao Xin's hand, knowing his boyfriend was close too. He couldn't have been more right either. A few seconds later you could hear 'Da Xiang' screamed within the room as semen was spilled into Da Xiang accompanied by a quiet thump as Chao Xin collapsed on top of his boyfriend.
After catching his breath, Chao Xin removed himself from Da Xiang and thought about moving to the bed so they could go to sleep. It was tempting but too much effort. Instead he settled for snuggling on the couch.
"Mm, this is nice," Da Xiang murmured.
Chao Xin chuckled, "Only for you babe. Did you have fun today?"
"Yeah, I guess I got the best Christmas present."
"Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas Chao Xin." It was quiet for a few minutes before either spoke again.
"You're paying for my couch to be cleaned."
A/N: That was Da Xiang at the end! Bye!

A Taste for Excitement (A Taste for Romance, #2)
After a torrid night of passion and a romantic day at the beach, sixty-five year old Clarissa realizes that her dirty dalliance with a man less than half her age may turn out to be something more than a one night stand. There's only one problem: she knows nothing about her paramour, not even his name. A meeting with someone from his past and a tense moment during a tropical storm convince her that there's more to this young man than meets the eye.
This steamy 6,700 word erotic story about a mature, older woman and a sexy younger man picks up where the first volume leaves off. It is filled with graphic and explicit language, including oral sex, cunnilingus, and passionate intercourse.
The young man led her up over a pile of stone blocks and when they came down the other side her breath caught in her throat.
A waterfall, no more than twenty feet high, cascaded between ferns and palm trees into a small emerald pool surrounded by gleaming black rocks. The waterfall was almost enclosed by the short cliff and practically invisible from anywhere else on the beach, affording them a modicum of privacy. The crash of the falls was just loud enough to obscure their voices from others.
"It's beautiful," she said, turning to him with a smile.
"I come here to think sometimes," he said, leading her by the hand. They walked through the shallow stream leading from the pool to the ocean. The water running over their feet felt crisp and cool, a refreshing change from the hot stone baking under the blaze of the sun.
He set her umbrella and towel roll down on a large flat rock and splashed into the pool, ducking his head under the falls and then shaking the water out of his hair with a yelp. He wiped the water out of his eyes and slicked back his hair with his hands, smiling.
"Come on," he said, waving her over. "It's warmer than it looks."
She climbed down carefully from the rock and slipped into t

The situation in Ukraine remains fluid and, with events moving quickly, very little is certain. At the time of writing, attention is focused on the Crimea, with rumours of Russian naval vessels blockading the Kerch Straits, which, if true, would quickly isolate the main port of Mariupol. At present, the US and EU appear committed to achieving a non-military solution to the ongoing crisis. Limited sanctions have been introduced by both, aimed at freezing and/or seizing the assets of persons designated under the sanctions for their involvement in undermining the democratic process in Ukraine or misappropriating assets of the state. No one wants to see any kind of armed escalation, but we can expect a period of uncertainty as Russia decides how it will react.
Ukraine's importance in terms of wheat and corn supplies is significant. It is also a key exporter of metals and minerals to Europe, Russia and beyond. Ukraine ranks as the world's fourth and fifth largest exporter of corn and wheat respectively and it is the world's fifth-largest steel exporter. It is also a vital gateway for Russian natural gas to western Europe, with approximately a fifth of the gas used in Europe flowing across the country. Together with Russia, Ukraine forms the northern coast of the Black Sea, an important shipping route for agricultural products, metals and energy.
The potential disruption for the corn and wheat and gas and steel industries, together with the resulting rise in prices, is causing considerable concern. An escalation of tensions and any military action may have repercussions for ship owners, charterers, crews and insurers alike…
