Where: Hogwarts, 9:20pm
Who: Malcolm Greengrass ( @lonexstars )
Alecto tottered out of the castle as steadily as she could given her refusal to remove her shoes and go barefoot, even though it would have been safer. Her hair had fallen completely out of its artfully messy arrangement and there were already bruises forming darkly against her golden forearms where she’d fallen upwards from the dungeon stairs. Everywhere were people and lights; she squinted until she saw someone she was reasonably sure she knew.
“Do you have my keys?” she asked Malcolm, one hand braced against her hip to minimize the swaying. She was completely oblivious to the officer trying to catch her through the crowd, and who’d been trying to get her attention since she first stepped blithely over the yellow caution tape from the *wrong side* of the crime scene.
