!episode 01: darkness descends, character: catriona montgomery, character: libby montgomery, status: complete

Characters: Catriona and Libby Montgomery
Setting: 26 June, 18:34, Catriona's flat
Rating: Low
Summary: Sister time and Seer business

Libby's anger over Catriona's callous response to the drowning nightmare/not-nightmare, anger which she felt was fully justified, had still faded within a day or two. An extra day or two of sibling irritability had also passed, and now she regretted not going for Thai food over the weekend. Without her sister she had made no progress on interpreting the dream, if it was a dream, and she just didn't feel quite herself when the two of them were on the outs.

So here it was, Wednesday evening, and she was approaching Catriona's flat with take-away in her hand and trepidation in her heart. Not that she expected Catirona to be cross, exactly, but she did have further news about the very subject that had set them off last time. Hopefully it would not be a repeat performance. It was possible Catriona was still at the office, in which case Libby would just go there instead and rescue her from paperwork. She needed to be rescued sometimes, and they needed to talk.

Libby knocked and waited. When the door opened she held up her offering, smiled, and said, "Hey, sis. Hungry? I think we're due for a bit of Thai."

"Well, maybe, but it isn't all doom and gloom, and like you said the individual meanings may not be what matters." Libby glanced down at the spread again. It was kind of an odd one, though in her mind they were all kind of odd. Maybe she was being stubborn or obtuse, but she didn't want to start predicting major doom and gloom in all directions. (Trelawney flashbacks.) "Three spades is a lot, but there's also two hearts which are good, and a club which can go either way."

Werewolves. Libby went still, staring at Catriona. It was irrational, the spike of emotion which mingled fear and a reminder of loss, but there it was. "God, that's dreadful news," said Libby with a shiver. "I don't know how you can stand to handle these cases."

"It's not that straightforward, no," Catriona said. It usually wasn't, when it came to card reading or Divination as a whole. "I guess we'll have to wait and see."

She wasn't very good at that. Waiting and seeing. She wanted to do things. Maybe not in the way that Libby did, never being able to stay in one place, but focusing, making things happen, even if they weren't the most exciting ones. Even paperwork had a reason, in that sense.

"They asked me if I wanted to step down," she admitted. "But I don't. I'm going to sort this one out, and whoever did it won't hurt anyone else. I'll see to that."

Like nobody had done with David. Everyone knew who had killed him, but he'd gone free for years afterwards. Still would have, had it not been for the battle, and all that came with it.

"It's why I became an Auror. You know that."
