Just like everyone else in the field. Even you know love, that we don't just take a person's word for it when they claim to be an auror. We ask and watch and test them to see their capabilities for ourselves."

He swallowed as he looked towards her again "Bec, I'm sorry. I don't know that I can do anything. It wouldn't be fair for me to turn around and demand that my wife is in MLE with me, and not find that my employees and other department heads don't watch for me to slip up and look like I'm being more generous to you rather than an employee who's been working for years towards a position. You wouldn't do that either. If you were in my position, you'd tell me to start in the spot they put me and work up and prove myself to them as well." That wasn't very sweet to say but it was true. He knew she'd tell him to buck up and do what they ask and show them they were wrong about his abilities.

If she had a cake she could smush in his face to make him shut up, she would. Becca just looked at her husband, trying so hard to keep her ladylike appearance up. "Don't call me love." she snapped at him. "I had my job, my department and my dream taken away from me for my family and now you want me to start at the bottom and work my way up AGAIN. Haven't I done that enough times in my life? I could still be in Italy, I could be enjoying my job, I could be happy." she stressed to him, hoping he'd actually understand.

"No, it wouldn't be fair. Just like me being here doing a completely different job isn't fair! I've worked for years towards this too! Just because it was somewhere else, it doesn't mean I haven't worked hard!!!" She'd worked every minute of every day and had even worked herself into a hospital ward at the end of an emergency when most people had been too ill to work. "Don't you tell me I haven't worked hard." she stood her ground, making herself seem taller as she faced her husband directly.
