A delicate hand gingerly lifted the antique hairbrush, passing it down through her long blonde hair. The sun had tucked itself in quite some time ago, and she was preparing for bed. Narcissa had not left her room that day, though that did not stop her from having dressed as if she was going out to town. She always looked her best, even when she wasn't feeling it. With the hour being what it was, she'd shed herself of her daily attire and slipped into her night gown, unpinned her hair and was giving it a final groom before she would attempt to find slumber. Sleeping was not something she did much of, either. When she slept, she dreamt. Rather, she had nightmares. But most of the time she just laid still so as not to disturb her husband when he came to bed.

This night would be no different, she assumed. Again and again, she ran the brush through her hair. Normally she savored every moment of her beautification rituals, but lately her movements were robotic. She was just acting out of habit, rather than enjoyment. Narcissa was not even looking at herself in the mirror. At least she wasn't crying, anyway. Her tears had dried earlier that day, as a numbness took over. Isolation would do that to a person, even one such as socially inclined as she. Lifting her gaze, she caught sight of her reflection. ..How did we get here..? she silently wondered. And yet it did no good to dwell on it. It would change nothing.

That thought managed to draw a tear from the corner of her eye. She watched as it rolled down her cheek, then quickly wiped away the evidence and returned to brushing her hair.

Who: Remus and Nymphadora
Where: St. Mungo's
When: 28 May 1998
Summary: Nymphadora comes to see how Remus is doing.
Status/Rating: Complete, PG

With chin resting in palm, Remus gazed out the window. He was comfortably ensconced in an armchair, and though he had used a cane to get himself there, he was glad to be able to stand and walk at all. There was a forest beyond the glass, and Remus didn't mind that it was only an illusion. The trees swayed to the wind and birds flew from branch to branch, and even the sun peeking over the tops was a sight he preferred to have over the actual world outside. Who wanted to watch the plain concrete of another London building?

There was a copy of the post in his lap, but he had already read it from front to back and over. His mind was still digesting it and other things.

Who: Angelina Johnson, Fred Weasley and George Weasley
Where: St. Mungo's
When: May 28, 1998
Rating: TBD

Angelina glared at the witch reapplying her bandages. She was taking too long and Angelina had important people to see. Her arm was still a mess and Angelina refused to look down at it while the bandages were off. She could smell the salve they applied and it turned her stomach. When the witch announced she was done, Angelina jumped up and nearly ran out of the room before they could suggest any physical therapy. That hurt like hell and he wanted to be in top form for Fred.

After asking a few people where he was, Angelina made her way up to Fred's room. She peeked in the door and her stomach dropped somewhere near her feet. Seeing one of her best mates in a hospital bed was not exactly something she had prepared herself for, but she reminded herself that it was a hell of a lot better than seeing him in a coffin.

She pushed open the door and walked in, a smile on her face. "Hey, Freddy. You look like shite."

Who: Hestia and OPEN to anyone who wants to talk to her
Where: St. Mungos
When: 25 May 1998, afternoon
Rating: TBD but not high

Hestia had just finished her lunch, and was getting ready to make some rounds. After spending the morning in the potions lab, she needed to take a walk.

She had been working more than usual, given the large number of casualties from the Battle that took place at Hogwarts earlier in the month. Hopefully, some of the patients would be ready to go home soon, since she knew they were getting weary of being cooped up at the hospital.

Sighing, she looked at the parchment that she held in her arm just before walking down the corridor.
