RP: Moody and Marly Who: Alastor Moody and Marlene McKinnon Where: the farmhouse When: Friday, 9 April, 2025, evening Rating/Warnings: Summary: Alastor finally decides it's time to talk.
The conversation with Dumbledore the prior evening had put more things on Alastor's growing list of things to think about...and potentially discuss with McKinnon. He'd have to make time to speak to Snape in the next few days and discuss Potter the youngest -- too many Potters! But, if he put talking to McKinnon off too long, she'd find another reason to start it and drop some other revelation on him.
So, after dinner that night, he decided it was his turn to initiate the conversation.
Except, of course, that he was lousy at these emotional things and so, rather than start out with a nice little speech that made the topic perfectly clear, -- or would have if she ever gave him warning when she was going to open up one of these conversations -- Alastor managed, "All right, we need to talk."
