There's only one place that could be this cold, this sterile, I think as I wake up. The lights are glaring, the walls are a blazing white, the sheets are scratchy, and the smell... I hate the smell of this place.

But how the hell did I end up at St Mungo's?

I take a bite of the chocolate that was left on my doorstep the other night and grin as I read the note that was attached.: From three badgers to a lion (but especially from the tiger badger).

I understand the "three badgers to a lion" part easily enough--Hannah spent the evening with Megan and Susan earlier this week. Of course, the Hufflepuff- ( Read more... )

I've got to do something about the selection in my cupboard. You can only eat so much tinned soup before your taste buds start throwing a wobbly. Wistfully, I think about the ( Read more... )

Stumbling slightly, I land in my flat, the one I found as soon as I left Hogwarts--I can't bring myself to live in the manor without Gran, at least not yet. I haven't slept well the past few days--haven't had time to sleep, really--and that always makes my Apparition a bit suspect. I didn't splinch myself, thank Merlin, but it definitely wasn't my ( Read more... )
