                   grover convinced the last of the elves to clock off, and continued to clean dishes from dinner alone. ( no magic. ) in times of DISTRESS, he found it calming to go through the motions. scrub and clean, dry and put away. rinse, repeat. hearing someone enter the kitchen, he squared sunken shoulders back into place and continued the rhythm restlessly without looking up. “ still hungry ?? i can heat up leftovers. otherwise, should you not be in your dorm — sleeping ?? ” the wizard queried, expecting a student. 

distress caused disruptions everywhere for camila --- in her sleeping habits, her eating habits, in her concentration levels. that night had been one of a sudden surge of energy and hunger and she’d made her way to the kitchens, only to find grover washing dishes. a small smile curled tired lips. “ what is it the young kids say?? sleep is for the WEAK. ” she chuckled. “ need some help?? i’m really good at drying dishes. ”

“If you’re ever in need of some good reading material,” Camila started. “I highly recommend this month’s issue of Hourglass. There’s a very interesting article on the Witch burnings in the fourteenth century., which is definitely worth a read. It talks about the injustice women — especially muggle women — faced and the nature of it all, rather than how actual witches dealt with it. It’s just a very refreshing – and important – take on it all.”

dorian let out a hiss as the bandage was placed firmly over his arm, covering the angry red welt that a particularly nasty hex had gotten him, “you know, i’ve gotten plenty of these over the year—-i’ll be fine, nothing to worry about. part of the job, y’know?”

“oh please --- you know i only worry when it’s really necessary,” said camila, looking at her former classmate with a small grin. “do you know how much energy it’d cost me to freak about about every small thing that seems like a disaster? i’d not have the time to look over any homework and do my job. how’d it happen, though?”
