The Canon Library was dark - of course it was. That was the way the Canon Librarian preferred it, and since he had managed to obtain absolute authority in his own domain, no-one was prepared to argue.

Admittedly, that was because they figured he'd threatened, intimidated, or blackmailed the Flowers into letting him run the place his own way. If people knew that he'd actually just sulked at them until they gave in, he probably wouldn't be quite so respected.

But it was dark - the kind of darkness that comes from spending your life in a perpetual inner gloom, and then having that magnified by certain supernatural events the Canon Librarian preferred not to think about. The sole denizen of the Library sat, peacefully reading, in what was halfway between a den and a nest. And then someone opened the door, and electric light burned in.

The Canon Librarian dropped his book in shock. Not at the fact that someone was intruding on his peaceful domain - that happened often enough - but at the twin facts that the agent was some sort of lion thing with sparks of electricity flying off its fur - and that it wasn't waiting at the door, but coming straight inside.

The Canon Librarian's usual technique was to snap, 'What?', but that didn't seem enough this time. Getting to his feet, he growled out, "What exactly do you think you're doing?"

Or rather, he tried to growl; it came out as more of a squeak. Regardless, the creature looked into the shadows, blinked, and said, "Uh, reading?"

"Reading." The Canon Librarian managed to get his voice under control. "And what, exactly, makes you think that this is a place to read? Does this look like a library to you?"

"Uh..."

"... shut up. Just. Shut up."

'Hey, hS, I've noticed you seem to be responding to a lot of stories with ficlets of late. What gives?'

Well asked, dear reader. I was remembering the days of the DCPS, when case-workers would respond to missions featuring their charges, and I thought: hey, why can't the Infrastructure agents under my aegis do the same thing? I enjoy writing, PPCers in general enjoy reading - what's to lose? And thus, this happened.

... it summons the same mini into the world, instead of making new copies of the type of mini? I learn something new today. Also, "well, duh?" to knowing that Remus is a werewolf? I thought she may try to seduce or harm him or something.

I’m overworked reading so much in such a short time, but I cannot not read your missions, they are too good.

Anyway, the usual nitpicking:

The Sue use her fire powers to heat up some sausage for Ron,
Tense shift.

and the scene swirled, dumping Zeb in the middle of the first head girls' dormitory.
You probably meant "first year girls’ dormitory", or "first-year girls’ dormitory" (JKR writes “first-years” with a hyphen) or maybe "first-year-girls’ dormitory" (I’m not sure whether JKR ever used something similar to the latter).

Also, beginning three consecutive sentences with "He" (starting with "He opened the bag ...") is a bit repetitive.

Seven years in three chapters? What did this chick think?

The title said it all: WhatThe indeed.

A few questions:
1) How is Zeb human in the beginning of the story? Disguise Generator? D.O.R.K.S.? You might want to consider adding a line or two to explain what happened. And by the way, does Zeb have to be human in order to read? I'd think that a Pokemon that is able to see through walls would have no problem reading a book.

2)Zeb tilted his head. "Say, Rina, if the Sue's supposed to be Harry's age, how old would Tonks—?"

"Seven," Rina replied curtly. "Sues are always making Remus an inadvertent pedophile, it's disgusting."

Being that I'm not that well-versed in Potterverse lore, could you please explain the math? According to the Harry Potter Wiki, Tonks was born in 1973. If the Sue was born at the same time as Harry, then wouldn't Tonks have been in her late teens, if not in her twenties, at the time of Harry's birth?

3) "You know, I think Luna can almost see through SEP fields as well," she continued. "My second mission, I could have sworn she could see me and Randa."
Do you have an MLP mission in the works? Or am I barking up the wrong fandom?

3)This one's an actual error:
"All that happens is Sue helps Harry and Hermione save Sirius, she visits daddy, Harry gets the 'firebolt'—" she nudged the mini through a portal. "and there's a stupid sock-puppet author's note. I can do without that."

The first letter of the parenthetical should be capitalized, and you should use another em-dash to re-introduce the narrative, since you cut her off with an em-dash:

"Harry gets the 'firebolt'—"
She nudged the mini through a portal.
"—and there's a stupid sock-puppet author's note."

Here, a single-use taser batarang for Agent Rina Davies, use it wisely. Don't ask how I got it, is better for thy sanity to not ask. *disappers into the shadows*

That was a satisfying read :) *gives Zeb some Berries*

In that case, you coud have sent it to the Forgotten Realms or Golarion, let the local adventurers take care of it.

Regardless, this was a very silly mission.

PS: I like Inheritance knowing it's not that good. My favorite character is Rhünon. I really hope that didn't make a mini-Urgal.

I really, really like Zeb. Nonhuman agents are always fun, especially ones whose differences are played up a bit. Great stuff! =]

I was laughing so hard I woke my mom. Oops.
Anyway, swell mission, but you might want to run a quick punctuation check - I think I spotted a couple double spaces in the text.
