♠ ̖́- — These last few weeks have been nothing short of a complete and utter mess. The days they spent trapped in almost complete darkness mingled together. It was hard to try and figure out the days they missed, the time that was spent down there. And honestly, Frank just wanted to get right back into things. He needed to dive into his work, to forget what occurred. But despite his request, he still hasn’t gotten a single paperwork thrown in his direction, and he is certain that it has been piling up since he’s been unavailable. Something about ‘ taking it easy ’ and ‘ not to worry about it ’ and yet, here is Frank. Not taking anything easy and certainly worrying. Okay, his worrying is directed more towards the other hostages and how they were doing… and of Meadowes. Either way, he needed to get something done before he started losing his mind in here. Frank didn’t look up at his visitor as he spoke, “ Please tell me you brought me some work. ”  

Dorcas is gone. It’s a concept she still can’t wrap her head around -- it can’t be so. There’s a part of her that holds on to the hope that someone will come forward & tell her that this is all some terrible dream & Dorcas will show up to the ice cream shop & order a sundae with every topping & things will be back to the way they once were. But she knows, however much it pains her to acknowledge, that cannot be. 

Alice isn’t quite sure how to deal with her grief -- so rather than trying to, she’s been diving into the task of checking in on the survivors -- & that’s what brings her to the doorway of Frank’s hospital room. He’s her boss -- she has to see if he’s alright . . . it’s the proper thing to do ( no matter how indifferent she might be about him on a personal level ). 

“ --- I’m afraid I didn’t,” she finally says, stepping into the room, “You see, there’s a certain auror that usually has me do all the paperwork, so I’m used to taking care of it myself.” Words are accompanied by a weak smile -- a sign that her words should be taken lightheartedly ( her attempt at humor in such a terrible situation ).

From childhood adventures in the woods to getting ready early in the morning, Amelia had always been thankful for magic. How Muggles functioned daily without magic was a mystery to her, she thought as she casted a cleaning charm around her flat. Besides stopping by to change her clothes and feed her cats, she couldn’t remember the last time she had cleaned her home. In the end, Amelia decided cleaning was long overdue once she noticed the dust on her bookshelves. Thank Merlin for the charm she had set to ward off any odor. She had been living here for nearly two months, but the flat still felt alien to her despite all of the time and effort she invested in redecorating. All of her thoughts of home died that night and the more she pushed to make the flat hers, the more detached from it she felt. She just had placed her wand down on her coffee table when she heard knocking. An odd thing indeed since she was expecting anyone today.

“Alice, hey. What brings you here?” she asked smiling at her surprise guest. 

It’d been a while since she had any sort of time to make social calls -- but in a kind twist of fate, she found herself off work early this particular evening, which inclined her to take the long way home ( which just so happened to bring her in the direction of Amelia’s flat -- so why not stop in & say a quick hello ? ) “Amelia, it’s been too long,” she replies, a smile playing on her features, “I was in the neighborhood, I guess -- thought I’d stop in for a chat.” It’s rare these days that any conversation she finds herself in revolves around anything other than the troubling times -- she needed a break . . . & hopefully her friend would provide the distraction she’s been craving so terribly.

   “ COUNTEROFFER: we both get a good night’s sleep & instead of going out for dinner, you come over for a nice, homecooked one. Mum’s putting up a Sunday roast & it’s far too big for just the family. She’d be thrilled for the company -- & the extra plate to fill.”

“I dare you!” from regulus

“Do you need me to kill someone for you?” from arthur

   “Merlin, no.” She’s shocked to hear the suggestion leave his lips – even as a joke. It’s a decidedly un-Arthur-Weasley-like inclination. “I mean, I wouldn’t be against you giving him a stern talking to, though – something fatherly & guilt-trippy. Maybe just list my merits ? Although, I don’t know what good it’ll do for me. Having someone else appeal to my supervisor on my behalf might just make me seem like more of a child than anything else.”
