Home After Work
Title: Home After Work
House: Hufflepuff
Word Count: 100
Characters: a Ministry worker
Challenge: Patterns
It’s dark outside; the shadows dance in the flickering light from the lantern her husband left on the porch and as she hurries up the path she can, for a moment, see faces painted on the walls. Then she takes another rushed step forward and the pictures have faded back into the indistinct pattern of dark and light that they really are.
Pushing the door open she nearly falls into her husband’s waiting, welcoming arms. She feels the bone-deep horror of the Death Eater cases that she has been working on fade away in his comforting embrace. Home at last.
