I heard the mailman approach my office door, half an hour earlier than
usual. He didn’t sound right. His footsteps fell more heavily, jauntily, and he
whistled. A new guy. He whistled his way to my office door, then fell silent
for a moment. Then he laughed.
Then he knocked.
I winced. My mail comes through the mail slot unless it’s registered. I get a
really limited selection of registered mail, and it’s never good news. I got up
out of my office chair and opened the door.
The new mailman, who looked like a basketball with arms and legs and a
sunburned, balding head, was chuckling at the sign on the door glass. He
glanced at me and hooked a thumb toward the sign. “You’re kidding, right?”
I read the sign (people change it occasionally), and shook my head. “No,
I’m serious. Can I have my mail, please.”
“So, uh. Like parties, shows, stuff like that?” He looked past me, as though
he expected to see a white tiger, or possibly some skimpily clad assistants
prancing around my one-room office.
I sighed, not in the mood to get mocked again, and reached for the mail he
held in his hand. “No, not like that. I don’t do parties.”
He held on to it, his head tilted curiously. “So what? Some kinda fortuneteller? Cards and crystal balls and things?”
“No,” I told him. “I’m not a psychic.” I tugged at the mail.
He held on to it. “What are you, then?”
“What’s the sign on the door say?”
“It says ‘Harry Dresden. Wizard.’ ”
“That’s me,” I confirmed.
“An actual wizard?” he asked, grinning, as though I should let him in on
the joke. “Spells and potions? Demons and incantations? Subtle and quick to
anger?”
“Not so subtle.” I jerked the mail out of his hand and looked pointedly at
his clipboard. “Can I sign for my mail please.”
The new mailman’s grin vanished, replaced with a scowl. He passed over
the clipboard to let me sign for the mail (another late notice from my
landlord), and said, “You’re a nut. That’s what you are.” He took his clipboard
back, and said, “You have a nice day, sir.”
I watched him go.
“Typical,” I muttered, and shut the door.
My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your
own risk. I’m a wizard. I work out of an office in midtown Chicago. As far as
I know, I’m the only openly practicing professional wizard in the country.
You can find me in the yellow pages, under “Wizards.” Believe it or not, I’m
the only one there. My ad looks like this:
HARRY DRESDEN—WIZARD
Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations.
Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates.
