“That would be ideal. Bateman would not appreciate my falling asleep at the foot of his bed.” The room was a typical room. One that he would prefer not having to be in himself, as it meant requiring the dreaded long-term care. A temporary visit in his cot would be enough. The name was familiar, but he couldn’t pinpoint it to a face until he followed Chang in to the room. “Out of commission for awhile? Bet you can’t wait to get back onto the next job right after this.” Not everyone shared his sentiments or his perception of the job as he glanced back at Bateman, Chang, and cleared his throat. “Hope you’re back on your feet shortly enough. Excuse my comments, just got off a task myself.” Oh surely, he ought to apparate the hell away at the rate this was going. 

[chanqq]

“See you Monday,” she called out, watching him apparate. Pucey would not be the worst partner; in fact, they could probably do a lot together, depending on how their dynamic ended up turning out. Cho found herself more than a little relieved. Attitude, she could deal with; incompetence, not so much.

FIN.

“I would,” Luna offered. “But you see, I also have no idea where the stairs are,” she continued honestly. “There’s got to be someone around who could show us, though.”

[chanqq]

“Ah, that’s true.” Cho flagged down an orderly who didn’t seem to be busy. “Know the way to the stairs?” Cho said. A point in one direction and Cho smiled, beginnning to head that way.

“You coming?” she called out softly.

[lgchyunjin]

“I know where we’re headed. If I didn’t know my left from my right, then I think I’d be rather useless in our job.” Adrian narrowed his eyes at her blunt commentary, but he was more amused than anything at this rate. “But if I had to pick, 50 hours of sleep.” 

“Ha. I’ve had the same partner for the last few months, so can’t say what the chances of a switch-up routine would be anytime soon. Good partners is something that shouldn’t be tarnished with, but sometimes I wonder, if we lose our touch, get a little lazy, as we become so co-dependent on that said partner. Sorry, rambling. Ladies first.” He waved towards the lift with a glance. “See, didn’t get lost.” 

[chanqq]

“You’re not usually useless. Even I can attest to that, Pucey, and we’ve worked together once.” She looked over at him. “Seriously. As soon as we get to the room, you should get some rest. I can side-apparate you where you need, if you’d like.” 

“Thanks,” she said, nodding at him once. She decided to give him some information; he’d gone this far with her, after all. “Come on in. You can see Bateman.”

They entered room 205 with little sound. The room was bare, save for the cactus someone had sent Christian along with a get-well card. He was sitting upright, letter in his hand; he seemed intent. 

“Hullo, Christian.” She managed a smile before gesturing toward Adrian. “Brought you a visitor.”

“Good you’re together,” Bateman said. “It seems you’ve been assigned together while I recuperate,” he said, grimacing.

‘damn, cho.’ he huffed quite dramatically, flipping through the paperwork with a very visible pout on his face. ‘i know i’m the boy who lived but you might just kill me because of all this paper work.’

[chanqq]

She wagged her finger at him. “Uh-uh, Potter, that moue won’t be working on me today.” She’d succumbed to it before, when they’d first started working together and she saw him as she’d seen him at 16, war-hardened but still so young.  

Then she’d done five papers for him and known what was up.

“Tell you what,” Cho said. “Finish this, and your next drink at the nearby pub is on me.” She winked.

“I already said I didn’t know anything about it, Chang.” He took a moment to pause then, gathering his thoughts before he spoke. “Well, you’ve given it a shot so why are you still here?”

“Don’t waste your money to watch them lose. Trust me, they haven’t got a chance.”

[chanqq]

“Probably someone trying to fuck around with you,” she said. She’d specifically used her day-off to track down tickets, and it frustrated her that Flint didn’t have them. Merlin, what it had taken for her to suck up her strange feelings and meet up with him, and all for naught. 

“Shut the fuck up, Flint. Just because Danchev’s ahead of you on Quidditch Quarterly’s ‘Chasers to Watch’ List, doesn’t mean you have to be sore about it,” Cho said heatedly. Nothing ever got her more riled up than Quidditch, and Marcus had struck a sore nerve.

[lgchyunjin]

“Scandalous. I hardly think we live in a time where we need secret spouses. Unless you’re living your life even more dangerously than I thought,” he wagged his brows, amused that he had the energy to muster up as his fatigue was in excess. After he arrived home, he could probably sleep for days.  

“Nothing at all,” Adrian smiled, en route to the lift, balloons afloat. “ Couldn’t hurt to know more about someone I could eventually end up on cases with, Chang. You never know.” 

[chanqq]

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Cho said. “Caught a vicious hexman on the run. Turns out he was chiefly running from his wife.” She rolled her eyes. 

“You look like shit,” she said, eyeing him with concern. “Do you need a Pepper-Up or maybe 50 hours of sleep?” As they walked, Cho held out a potion to him with her free hand.

“If you’ll work with him, you’ll meet him,” she said of Bateman. He was a good fighter, if a little rash. They’d work well together. “Are we really headed to the lift or do you not know where we’re going?”

[seamusf-deactivated20160406]

“Oh come off it Chang, you know I was doing curse breaker shit overseas. I remember all of our training, thank you very much.” Seamus grinned at Cho. “What about you Ms. Chang, what has your illustrious career turned into?”

[chanqq]

“Really, Finnegan,” she said dryly. “Typical rough-and-tumble missions with the occasional need for finesse. As expected.”

[terrybootus-blog]

“Oh, Cho!” Luna hadn’t known who the woman was who’d spoken and was pleasantly surprised to see her old housemate. “This is a bit of a strange place to meet, isn’t it?” she asked with a smile. Of all places, Luna would not have expected Mungo’s to be a place of reunion.

“Yes, I am. Are you?” She wondered what could bring the girl here, especially as she looked unharmed and in good health. “I’m on the second, but I’m willing to take the stairs. It will be nice to stretch my legs.” She’d spent countless hours the night before editing for the Quibbler and was sure her bum would take flight if she didn’t work out some kinks. “Sitting for a long time is not a suggested option.”

[chanqq]

“It is, certainly, but that’s the way the world works,” Cho said, a small smile on her face. She’d always felt some affection for Luna, who was always herself, nothing less, nothing more. With her, Cho always found herself a little more comfortable, a little more willing to talk. “It’s nice to see you.”

“Yes,” she said, shaking the hand holding the balloons.”Shall we?” she said, before realizing she didn’t know where to go. “If you could lead the way?”

[chanqq]

“Are those for me? You shouldn’t have.” He moved aside, allowing more room for the balloons. “Only joking. In fact, I was just on my way out, but no harm in leading you there.”  Having finally recovered after being incapacitated left the former Slytherin rather disgruntled. He didn’t particularly enjoy being disarmed and incapable in any way, but it was one of the downsides of the position.

 “Glad you’re just visiting and not the actual one held in the hospice. Who was it that you were seeing? Sibling? Significant other?”  

“You can take one, Pucey, if it means that you’ll make Cresswell’s coffee the next time he asks one of us to do it,” she said, pretending to be cross. “Thank you, she said, letting him lead the way. 

“I’ve had my fair share of scrapes, but I keep out of the wards for the most part,” Cho said, shrugging. “What’s it to you? Could be my secret husband, for all you know.” She felt comfortable enough around Adrian to tease him a little, rare for someone who’d become as serious as Cho usually was.

The hospital was in full motion as many walked past him, making haste of whatever task they were set to do. It was unlike the healers to assign him to another case while he was working on another, but he didn’t question it as he left the room he was in and made his way down the corridor to the next, holding the clipboard with the information on in it. 

As he rounded one corner his eyes immediately found vibrant balloons in front of him. It wasn’t a surprise that there were balloons, but the girl holding it was someone whom he had not seen in a while. 

“Yeah, I was actually going there myself,” Justin said, smiling warmly at her. “Oh, that’s too bad. Know what happened to them?”

The young man standing in front of her, clipboard in hand, was one very familiar. She suddenly remembered that same set of features on a younger face at the Great Hall. Ah, a Ravenclaw, she thought. James? Jonas?

She peered surreptitiously at his clipboard. Finch-Fletchley, it said. Justin, she remembered, nearly finding herself mouthing the name in her surprise. Instead, she smiled up at him. “That would be nice.” 

Cho nodded slightly. He seemed not to be familiar with her occupation, which was a relief here at St. Mungo’s, where Healers were tired of seeing people from the Ministry. “He got into a bit of an accident in a garden,” she said. He didn’t need to know it was the garden of one of the richest witches in Britain.

‘it’s boy who lived many times by now. don’t make me do this, cho, it’s such a waste of time.’

“No thanks to your sorry Protego skills,” Cho said, grinning outright. “Wiggins nearly had your number the other day.” She pushed the paperwork toward him on the table. “That’s what the paperwork is for: my saving your sorry arse from the fourth floor.”

“I’m not even in the same league as your precious Tornadoes, Chang.” He scowled at her, annoyed at how smooth and pretty her skin still was. “What poster?”

“The poster,” Cho said stubbornly. “The one on the bulletin board outside the stadium,” she added after a pause. “The handwriting was dubious, but I thought I’d give it a shot.” Cho’s hand was in her pocket, fiddling with the sheet she’d pulled off the board as soon as she’d seen it. No need for anyone else to try and take the opportunity, she had thought, ignoring the minor twinge of guilt she’d felt.

Well, it didn’t matter, anyway, because the poster had probably been a lie. “I wanted to see Bulgaria play,” she muttered.

Luna sat waiting near reception, not because she didn’t know where she needed to go, but because she wasn’t quite ready yet. There was nothing particularly worrisome about her father, but he’d gone without talking for far too long now. She’d checked him in a week ago and he’d been there since. The healers told her it was most likely PTSD, and while there were concoctions they could give him to help, it was possible that it might never go away.

A woman’s voice to her side caught her attention and she turned, happy to be helping instead of worrying. “I believe it’s just a little to the left. Although it might depend on what floor you’re trying to get to.” Luna puckered her lips in thought. “I know that that elevator goes to at least the second floor.”

“Hello, Luna,” Cho said, caught off-guard at her presence in St. Mungo’s. Somehow she’d thought Luna would be the type to avoid hospitals. The other girl had always seemed cheerful and healthy, if a little odd. Cho looked her over, checking her for any visible injuries, but there were none that she could see. Cho did note a slightness to her figure, a touch of shadow under her eyes, but nothing conspicuously out of place. 

“Are you visiting?” she asked, cocking her head. “I’m on first. We can go together if you’re headed the same way.” She looked up at the balloons, her nose scrunched up. “Might take the stairs, though.”

[chanqq]

seamusf :

“So apparently a lot can happen when you’re away for six months…”

Cho raised her eyebrow. “Like you missing out on six months of training,” she said, deadpan. “How much of it do you still remember, if at all?”

“For the last time just because we went to Hogwarts together doesn’t mean I’m giving you box seat tickets for my next game– or any game.”

[chanqq]

“I’m not begging you, Flint. A poster at the bulletin board said you had tickets. I’m simply following a source.” She looked at him, raising an eyebrow. “Do you have them or not?”
