[Oh.]

[Roland stands in the long grass and just straight-out stares. He knows this air, this ground - knows it with the distant familiarity of a long-gone childhood. New Canaan. New Canaan still green and fresh, with crops in the fields and people moving among them. And, in the distance, almost out of sight even for his preternaturally sharp ( Read more... )

[This year's DADA teacher is stupidly tall, skinny, and shabbily-dressed. He puts Lupin to shame]

[He's standing at the front of his classroom, next to the shaking trunk]

What we have in here is a Boggart. When I let it out, it will transform into your worst fear. There is only one known way to defeat a Boggart, only one spell. We'll practice before ( Read more... )

[Since Eddie brought up the singing thing with him, something's been nagging at the back of his mind. Now, Roland, he's never felt much of a need to break into song, at least not more than anyone else does who's walked half the world in echoing silence]

[But this is weird. Because not only is the urge to sing rising up like a tide, it's not even one ( Read more... )

[Roland hasn't felt like this in... a long, long time. Longer than most people could imagine]

[He knows what love is when it punches him in the face, obviously. He's been there. Once with the big one, then lots of little loves over the years, adding one on the other]

[But this is like Susan all over again]

[Which means that, while his only forays out of his sulking corner have been to raid the drinks table for anything more robust than wine or champagne, he's still looking fairly sober. And "sober", given that his guns have been taken off him again, basically translates to "angry ( Read more... )

[You might notice a few different things about Roland right now. For one thing, he looks about ten years younger. And no, that isn't because he's just gone on a makeover show ( Read more... )

[Roland has taken up position in the ruins of the mansion - don't even ask how he got there from the camp - and is blasting holes in the Slender Men from a distance. So far, only one of them's even got within reach of him, and there's a splatter of hissing acid eating through his boots from that one, but he can deal]
