*starts to shake*

Oh my God.

Cordell was there. Cordell was in London working on his campaign. He wants to be in Parliament and--

Why would they attack Muggles?!

*bursts into tears*

[hunting_realism]

C'mon. Owlery, now.

*very pale, takes her hand and runs off towards owlery*

[kinnonme]

*runs with him*

[hunting_realism]

*running*

What part...of London...was your...brother in?

[kinnonme]

He got an apartment near the House of Parliament.

*squeezes his hand tightly*

He'll be fine. Your family, too....

[hunting_realism]

*squeezes her hand back*

Oh, fuck I hope so.

*keeps going*

[kinnonme]

*let's just say they've arrived*

*grabs parchment and quills that're left in the owlery and scribbles out quick note and sends it out*

*shakes like mad*

[hunting_realism]

*writes his own letter, snatches an owl rather roughly, and practically flings it out the window*

Shite.

Marlene...are you okay? You look sick?

*rather pale himself*

[kinnonme]

*just keeps nodding*

*slides down wall and buries head in knees*

*sobs*

I w-w-wish F-Fabian were h-here.

[hunting_realism]

*collapses next to her*

Sorry I'm not him.

[kinnonme]

*doesn't even hear him*

*puts head on his shoulder*

*grabs his hand*

Why do people do this?

[hunting_realism]

*just stares into space*

Haven't the slightest.

[kinnonme]

*curls against him and puts arm on his chest, looking for any comfort*

I can't go home.

[hunting_realism]

*puts an arm around her, but otherwise doesn't move*

What are you going to do?

[kinnonme]

I've got to learn to fight. They're not getting away with this.

Oh. *sniffs* I'm getting your cloak all wet.

[hunting_realism]

*miserable*

'S already happened. *clears throat*

I don't care, Marlene.
