Arrival
Who: Severus Snape, Open
What: Arrival (Or return, depending on who you are.)
When: Day 46, Late afternoon.
Where: Town Square
One moment, Severus Snape was standing in a carpeted study, holding an envelope in one hand and a wand in the other; the next, he was outside. There was no sensation that he'd Apparated, nor that he had touched a portkey. He was simply there - as though someone had flipped a switch - aiming his wand at no one.
He turned sharply, confused and disoriented, and established that he was alone. For now, anyway. Keeping his wand at the ready just in case he was transported back to West's study, he looked down at the envelope, debating whether to set it on fire or, more sensibly, believe the madman's assertion that he would disappear if he destroyed it. Ridiculous though it sounded, being transported without pause or sensation from a room to the outdoors gave him the impression that either he ought to believe every word West said...or this was all happening in his mind.
He had to think. He carefully stowed the envelope in a pocket and brought his now-free hand to his forehead.
