Summary: Jan thinks about the formerly deceased in her house
Status: Complete

January was a lot of things, and at the moment, she was significantly less than impressed. She'd lived through that year when the Death Eaters had taken over Hogwarts. She'd been shuffled out with the rest of the Slytherins, but she'd been there while the battle had raged in the castle.

The man responsible was alive once more, and of course he was in her house. She was accustomed to taking a lot of shit for her house; while house prejudices had dimmed, they hadn't died. But this ... she didn't think there'd ever be a day when she'd have to deal with this. His history, sure. Who didn't have to deal with that, but ... the wizard himself?

They'd all gotten the news yesterday, and of course she'd been held back to discuss procedures. Mostly the procedures involved telling Albus of anything questionable, or suspected of being questionable.

Bracing her elbows on the table, Jan gazed down into her tea as she ran her fingers through her hair, the heels of her hands resting against her temples.

This was going to be a long, long couple of years.

He nodded, a smile crossing his face showing he conceded her point. "At the very least, those who have returned thus far have some connection to the war. Ariana being a catalyst for Albus Dumbledore, Tom Riddle... and most of the returnees that have been observed have connections to the same war. At least... this way the magic feels as though it is contained to something. If the founders were to return... this argument would prove to be invalid."

He nodded his head to her statement about the reunited families. It was truth. This is why things could not be changed at this point. Perhaps Tom Riddle was the balance for that, was the world attempting to stabilize itself. He could only hope.

He smiled, nodding his head to her departure. "May the morning bring you peace of mind, January," he said with a nod of his head.

His eyes drifted up to the ceiling briefly, as if he could see stars through them. He wished he could discern the answers to these questions. Perhaps they would never know the reasons this had happened.
