RP: What are we hunting again? A boar or a dark wizard? Who: Rose Zeller, Dennis Creevey, and Eddie Carmichael What: Getting settled in before the Cursebreakers’ mission starts Where: A tiny Wizarding settlement at the foot of Mount Salak When: 1. October, 2004 – Evening (Java time) Rating: NSFW – Language, probably
Leaving London in the morning would put the team of Cursebreakers at the Indonesian Ministry for Magic in the early afternoon and from there to West Java. Of course, that was the plan as it was made while in the Greenwich Mean Time timezone. Now? Now they were in Indonesia, the birthplace of jam karet; rubber time. That meant that while they had left London and arrived in Jakarta on time, the Portkey out of there had been late in being acquired and very late in activating.
While annoying, it had given Rose time to read up on the area they were going to, pick up a couple of useful phrases from a phrasebook, but most importantly have a closer look at some of the local myths, legends and magic. She had plenty of time to do that, because not only was she the youngest of the group, she was also travelling as Eddie’s half-sister, which… felt a little odd, although not nearly as odd (or anywhere near as uncomfortable) as when she had had to use her official documents using her mother’s maiden name to keep from drawing attention to her heritage. Of course that also meant, that when it was finally her turn to be addressed, it would go through Eddie. So, Rose had read up on things, because she was certain that once they arrived and got to work she would be right back to being a member of the team, a trainee member, true, but still a member.
Sitting next to Dennis with a bowl of what she believed might be mutton in a curry-like coconut milk soup – it didn’t matter, it was delicious! – Rose did her best not to think of Rolf and how he would have enjoyed it here. “So, we’re helping them catch a Dark Wizard?” she asked looking from Dennis to Eddie, having only been able to grasp bits and pieces of the conversation on the way there.
