Daphne knew this task well. She came to Hogwarts once a month during the school term, asked the usual questions, wrote down any issues she might have seen as significant enough to report, and then went on her way back to London and the Ministry.
There was a key difference about this day though. Today her intern, Delaney Grayson, accompanied her to Hogwarts to join her in the inspection. In all honesty, Daphne was not very fond of Delaney when they first met. The girl was a Half-Blood and a Hufflepuff Alumni. If Daphne had her choice then, she would have went with a lovely Pureblood Slytherin Alumni that tried out for the job. But Delaney was decided upon by a department vote and Daphne could not argue. However, over time, Daphne had found herself admiring Delaney's work and attitude. And she soon had to admit... she liked the girl and that Delaney was indeed the right one for the job.
But today would truly test Delaney. Her intern wasn't in the office now, but in the "field" so to speak. As they stood outside the Great Hall, Daphne turned to her.
"I'm sure you're well aware of how large the castle is," she said. "We'll be walking the entire place today, speaking to every Professor, and of course inspecting almost all rooms, including all four Common Rooms. I trust you can handle that?"
