#plotdrop: rip sebastian

[beeavery]

The Aurors gave them the go-ahead to leave the Lestrange box and Brenton left as if it had been an inconvenience to be stuck there instead of a handy alibi. The crowd had descended into chaos and he had missed most of it but he could see the collapsed stand and blood ran cold when he realised it was where he had been sat earlier. With Rabastan. If he got hurt because Brenton had chosen today to prove he was capable of following orders...

He fought against the crowd, away from the exit that most of them were streaming for. A hex flew by, hitting someone a few metres over and Brenton turned automatically to look for the source, breath catching when his eyes fell on her. “Freya.” Then, louder to reach her over the crowd. “Freya!” He pushed passed someone, vaguely aware of them grumbling behind him and reached out for her, looking for signs of injury. “Are you okay?” Of course she wasn’t. Her reaction had been his first thought when he had been given the order but if it hadn’t been Brenton, it would have been someone else.

“What are you doing here?”

He asked the question in lieu of a greeting but Brenton already knew by now for the most part what had happened after... well. After. “Honestly, I leave you alone for two minutes and you end up in the fucking hospital?” A bit more than two minutes, granted, and to cast a curse he knew would turn the Final into pandemonium. If Brenton thought about how it was probably his fault Rabastan was here, though, then he wasn’t going to get any sleep tonight. “Did you see who did this to you?” There was a dangerous undertone to his voice. He had already killed tonight and that had been motivated purely by the Dark Mark on his arm. It would barely take a blink of an eye to kill again in the name of vengeance.

👀 do you regret killing sebastian?

“No.”

It’s a lie and he says it as easily as if someone asked him if he regretted eating Freya’s Easter egg when he was eleven. He could argue his side — that there hadn’t been a real alternative; that it was the best for their side; that he would do it again — and all those things he believes. It wasn’t the first time he had killed and many in the past he has no regret over at all. But then he thinks of Freya’s grief, of Rabastan being hurt in the aftermath, of the fact that he had never been the type of person to act just because somebody else told him to and he has to wonder why he chose now of all times to start.
