What: A random encounter in hospital
Where: St. Mungo's
When: Friday evening
Rating: low
The sound of squeaky soles walking, walking, walking the hallways of St. Mungo's filled Marietta's mind, pushing out her worries. She had been sitting in this waiting room for the better part of 4 hours, having brought her mother here after she wouldn't get out of bed that morning. For the last two weeks she had kept her mother under the imperious curse and had her go back to work at the Floo Network Authority, but now Marietta fretted that she had performed the curse incorrectly somehow. She had thought to maybe try and have Pansy come over, but after trying everything to get her comatose mother out of bed, she decided to bring her into Mungo's.
The Healers hadn't updated her in an hour. The last time they came, they said they were worried she had lapsed into a state related to nerves over the death of Marietta's father. Marietta seethed in anger. She may have put the curse on her, but she was sure if her mother were to die now it would still be that muggle's fault. She had been slacking on finding and killing that pathetic waste of flesh. She vowed to make that happen as soon as possible.
Marietta was starved for human contact. She longed to talk to Pansy, but worried that her public association with her would give them both away. She couldn't talk to Cho. Their last encounter had been...frustrating and difficult, was the kindest she could put it. Perhaps she should seek out someone? Marietta was flipping through an old issue of Witch Weekly when she heard the click of real shoes on the linoleum. Glancing up, Marietta spied a familiar face. It was one of the Patil twins, Padma to be exact, who had been one of her housemates. Marietta remembered her as being somewhat reserved and open minded. Perfect. Tossing her magazine aside, she quickly strode down the hall to catch up with the witch.
"Oh, hello Padma. It's been a long time. What are you doing here in St. Mungo's?"
