RP: Solace in Work Date & Time: 3 November 2002; Evening Post Type: RP Status: Closed: Complete Character(s): Millicent Bulstrode, Cliodna Dandelion (NPC) Location: St. Mungo's Summary: Millie's hiding in work, and it doesn't go unnoticed.
Millie used to hate having to organize the supply closet. It was tedious, inventorying the potions, and the various impliments, but now, it was a relief. It was one thing she could still do that hadn't been taken from her. She'd cleaned thoroughly, had an orderly cast a barrier spell on her, and she'd refreshed it every hour, even casting it on herself once, though she'd had to retch into a garbage pail when she did that.
She couldn't go home, not yet. Her shift was long over, but if she was here, she was some good right? At home, she was just confronted with the reality that her mum somehow was healed, and not by her own hands. That hurt far more than she'd ever thought possible. So she worked. FInding solace in something that might be taken from her, just as her goals were now being stripped away. Who was she if she wasn't a healer? If she couldn't do magic? She was nothing.
She heard footsteps outside the supply closet, but paid them no mind until the door creaked open, making her look up.
