Who: Frank and Alice Longbottom (and later, Severus Snape) When: This evening, right after Frank's meeting with Walden Where: Home, then Hogwarts What: They're BORED. People do weird things when they're bored, like try to sneak into Hogwarts to visit their children. Rating: Pretty low, I think
The walk back from Diagon Alley was short and unpleasant, and not merely because rain was dripping inside Frank's coat and soaking his collar. He had wandered off and run into Walden Macnair. That was stupid. He'd wandered off and run into Walden Macnair without his wife. His currently very bored, very clever wife, who would put her entire intellect to the problem of making him suffer. That was worse than stupid.
Once home, Frank hurried inside, shaking the rain off his coat and from his hair. "Alice!" he bellowed. "Where are you?" He wandered through rooms until he located his wife. "Alice," he said again. "Hello! I think we should do something. Something interesting, and distracting. Not that there is anything you need to be distracted from! On an unrelated note, I did something stupid today."
