When: Post London Attacks Plot-Drop Where: St. Mungo’s - Outside Liam’s Room With: Marlene @nightmaremckinnon
Dirk had seen The Mark begin to float into the sky from his apartment window and his blood had run cold, not again. He apparated to a nearby ally and sprinted towards the destroyed homes that were still smoking, casting a swift disillusionment charm to help cloak him and avoid the muggles who’d already begun milling. He ran through the charred debris, shocked when he came across a half-burnt photo and recognised some of the family: Marlene, Liam... The McKinninon’s.
He found bodies, several, some beyond identification and before he could get far the Auror’s arrived and made use of several charms to ward the place while obliviators dealt with the muggles. Dirk explained about his arrival and after a too long session where his wand’s previous spells were examined he was given leave. St. Mungo’s seemed the next best bet and an Auror came with him, it was only with their influence at the desk that he discovered Liam and Marlene had survived, thank God... Though Liam was in a bad way. With a rushed thanks to the healer, Dirk all but ran through the halls to reach the room number he’d been given.
He arrived to see Marlene outside the door. “Marlene!” he called, jogging towards her and, before he could stop himself, drew her into a hug, “I’m sorry,” he said quietly, “I’m so so sorry.”
