Status: Threaded, Incomplete

Within half an hour of Neville's "we need to talk" in the journals, Mandy was checked out of hotel, suitcase in hand as she Apparated to the Zurich Portkey Authority. She booked a Portkey to Edinburgh -- there were none to London anytime soon; and Edinburgh was closer to Hogsmeade. An hour and a half after their brief conversation, Mandy opened her front door, her stomach in knots.

She wasn't ready for this conversation. Neville was too dear, her divorce too new, to try to quantify what exactly her relationship with Neville was, beyond sex. And yes, she could admit, it was really good sex. And more than that, it was friendship, the best sort. Neville didn't judge; he listened; he gave advice; and he gave brilliant hugs. All of which she needed.

Inhaling deeply and letting it out slowly, she stepped into the house and closed the door behind her. "Neville?"

Mandy's day hadn't started out well, not at all. She'd elected to eat breakfast in the Great Hall that morning, sitting beside Professor Flitwick and discussing Charms theory with him before the bell rang and she made her way up to the Astronomy Tower. Halfway there, a commotion broke out in a corridor, the end result being Mandy's chin growing three sizes too big, and the two boys receiving detention -- with her -- for Friday evening. As this weekend was also a Hogsmeade weekend, she had ensured that both boys would be sitting in detention with Professor Sprout.

Shrinking Mandy's chin was, however, beyond Madame Pomfrey's mien, and she was referred to Hogsmeade. Mandy chose to see the Healer at the Women's Health Clinic, and it wasn't long before she was normal-chinned again and waiting in the examination room for Megan to join her. She had been given a gown to wear and sat wrinkling it in her hands, nervous.
