Where: Hermione’s Flat When: 19 August 2002 With: @unspeakablecharm

For once the work day had been a fairly calm one. All of the gears seemed to have begun to run a little more smoothly in the holding facility, and the returned that had been released seemed to be settling into the restrictions they had been given. There was still consistent paperwork and policies to consider, but Hermione and Katie happened to find themselves with time to discuss the strange circumstances of the Returned and their many theories behind their origins.

The pair of them became so wrapped up in their conversation, that it wasn’t until they reached the floo at the end of the work day, that they were about to have to break their flow and wouldn’t get to speak again until the next day. Hermione was not fond of being disrupted when she felt like she was making progress, so she didn’t hesitate in inviting Katie back to her place to continue the conversation, as well as go through the rather large number of books that she had collected on the topic.

They had been at it for hours now, books and notes spread about them in such a way that it made it look like the room had been hit by tornado. The only indication that either were given that maybe they should actually take a break, was the sudden loud interruption of the growl of Hermione’s stomach. “Think maybe I should order Thai,” Hermione admitted with a faint tinge to her cheeks. “Do you want anything?”

Date: TBD Location: The corridor outside the Ministry Records Office

This was insupportable! He knew the door opened with a touch from authorised personell, and he was so far beyond clearance for this poxy little room that it should have sprung open the first time he’d laid a finger on it. Or later when he’d kicked it.

Instead it was firmly shut and Barty was putting all 60 plus years of his strength into trying to wrench the door open, both hands wrapped around the handle and shaking it in the frame. 

A flash of movement from within the Records Office caught his attention and he quickly pressed himself closer to the door, peering through the frosted glass, body tucked in against the door frame and out of view. Intruder or intruders! In the Records Office! A serious offence. Well they thought they could escape did they? He was going to be lying in wait for them. He hadn’t been Co-ordinator for the Witch-Watchers and seconded to the Auror Investigation Office for nothing. Oh no, he knew law-breaking when he saw it.

Now if only he could get through the door.

Psychopomp and Circumstance¦¦Katie&Severus

The Death Room

TBD

Awake. Cold face. Need to make Potter understand. Can’t die yet.

Severus pushed his hands into the floor boards, trying to centre his weight so he wouldn’t slip in all the- They weren’t floorboards. There was no blood. He opened his eyes, blinking as he stared down at clean stone. Where was he?

He managed to push himself up to hands and knees and realised three distrubing things at once. He wasn’t bleeding. He was wandless. He was naked.

He acted almost automatically, scrabbling into a curled position, right hand reflexively protecting what he could of his dignity, the other feeling at his neck for the wounds he knew must be there as he struggled to remember how he had come here . There must have been something before waking up with his face pressed to the cool stones. There was the shack. Nagini in her protective bubble, the Dark Lord’s pale face sentencing him to death. Potter...he’d given him the memories...which memories? He felt like he had just woken from a long sleep, mind still foggy and clouded, and mouth dry.

 His eyes darted around as he crouched, huddled in on himself. Veil. Dais. Good, that was cover until he could find a wand. He quickly rounded the archway with the tattered curtain hanging in it, crouching down again, briefly wondering if he should snatch the curtain down and wrap himself in it, but aware somehow that he must not touch it. 

“accio robes.” Snape hissed under his breath, swapping hands to stretch out his right, trying to focus and cast the spell without his wand. Perhaps something in the room was suppressing his magic. And where the hell was he?! 

Just as he made another sweep of the room, the decor and surrounds reminding him vaguely of scenes seen inside Potter’s head two years ago, he heard a sound and turned with rising horror to face... a student?

“I’d trust her with Snape’s life?” 

Shady overlord from level nine. Far too clever by half.  Sorry about the punching thing. Far too interested in feelings. Guess we should hug now?

16: How exactly are you feeling at the moment?

“Frustrated. Tired. Happy. Miserable. Angry, mostly. I keep thinking that a mistakes been made.” Emotions came and went in furious waves, like a rolling tide crashing over the displacement he’d been feeling. Home felt like a question mark, lately, like a North star that had dropped off the map and left him blindly searching to replace it. How did you begin to comprehend life without that constant. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled to see my family. To see Molly and Arthur and the boys and to finally meet Ginny, even with all the .. differences, but sometimes I wonder if I’m supposed to be here at all — it doesn’t always feel like it.”

006 | A talent hidden from others

Ginny doesn’t hide talents. She shows them off. Her most unusual is that she can lick her elbow.

Almost all of Severus’ crushes have been secret, particularly those that he has had on other men. The worst by far is his still occasionally present flutter of interest in both Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy.

Barty is afraid of quintapeds. And more embarassingly, aeroplanes. To the point that he doesn’t know if a Boggart might take the latter’s form.
