Summary: Padma finds something in an shed.
Completion:Incomplete
Padma crawled out bed, ready to kill Marcus for doing this to her. The heating and muscle relaxant charms she’d cast on her inner thighs last night had apparently worn off sometime ago. She hobbled to the shower and turned the water on nearly past the point she could stand it and stood, letting the heat soak into her bones.
She climbed out and cast a drying charm on her body and hair. She then re-cast the heating charm her sister had given her that was given to quidditch players who pulled muscles. It acted like a muggle heating pad to heat and soothe. She then re-cast the muscle relaxant charm, all the benefits of a muscle relaxant potion, none of the side effects.
“Ahhhh, that’s better,” she sighed with relief, she could walk naturally and the pain was manageable. She dragged on fresh underwear, she was considering yesterdays pair a loss. She shook her head at her self in disbelief. Yesterday had been totally out of character for her. Not that it mattered. Today, she was pretty sure Marcus was done with her.
Her first one night stand. She guessed it had to happen sometime, most people had them. Her thoughts idled around as she dragged on her oldest softest pair of jeans. There was a thin fraying spot on one knee, a hole at the corner of one back pocket, and they sagged a little on her. She added a white tank that read “So Clever, Even I Don’t Get Me”, ratty trainers, and pulled a gray hoodie over her head.
She was determined to check out the sheds on her property and see just where she wanted to claim as her boundary lines. She twisted her hair up and after rummaging around in her handbag, pulled out a muggle hair claw and secured her hair with it. After drinking nearly half of a bottle of water and eating a pop tart she found in her bag as well, she tucked the other one in the hoodie pocket and headed outside.
She cautiously poked around 2 of the 3 buildings, finding only a few old gardening tools, a broken metal desk, shelving pieces, and old files…lots and lots of old files. Then she got to the third building. It was the most obscured and furthest from the house.
She was just getting ready to push the unlatched door open when she thought she heard something. Padma jerked back, pulled out her wand and slowly opened the door.
Dogs! It was dogs! There were three grown dogs in her shed. And two of them had puppies. Two of them were small and she thought they were schnauzers and there was a much larger one that looked the same but she had no idea if they came that big. One of the little ones and the big one were the two with puppies. The other small one was laying down too and its belly looked enormous. It must be going to have puppies too. Three female dogs had taken shelter in one of her sheds, lucky for them it was nearly empty.
There was no way these dogs and their puppies were staying out here, they could stay inside the observatory. Though it wasn’t really tons better than this, up till a few days ago there‘d been that big hole in the roof where the telescope protruded, at least they’d be closer and it was sealed now with a charm she’d learned for patching holes in the ceilings of tents thanks to her cousins.
She thought quickly, the party was later and she had promised to bring drinks but she wasn’t sure how long moving them would take her. They’d been ok for who knows how long, they’d be fine until she could run the supplies down to Pro-Seti’s place. But she broke the poptart in half and then half she broke again giving the two smaller pieces to the little dogs and the larger one to the bigger one. She knew it wasn’t the best of foods for them but all she had at the time and she couldn’t stand not to give it to them. She’d try to pick up some meat for them also, and dog food if she could find it.
She left the shed, and rushed into the living area grabbing her messenger bag and a couple of sweatshirts for insulation. She shrunk the bottles she’d left inside, tucking them amongst one shirt and headed outside to do the others before heading down into town in a rush.
