"Yep, found it," Remus said, sitting back up from where he had been leaning into the bottomless trunk that stored the possessions he owned but didn't use every day, rummaging for his kerosene camp lantern by the dim light of his wand. The whole of the building seemed to have let out a death rattle in the form of one short flicker of the lights - Remus suspected that one too many appliances had been turned on at the same time, causing a short of monumental proportions - before all the noises filtering in from adjacent flats went quiet, and were replaced by groans, shouts, and a plethora of curses that could make a longshoreman feel at home. Their neighbors had milled down into the street below, cell phones in the hands of some, calling the building manager to complain before moving on to cafes or shops or friends' flats.
It was therefore quieter than usual, which Remus appreciated, but dark. Remus pointed his wand at the lamp and it sparked to life. "What are you doing?" he said, having adjusted the flame and turned to illuminate the whole of the room.
