And another part was focused on bed. Only a few minutes ago, he had been in his. Love this build-up. Great way to wrong-foot us. Of course a man who has to get out of bed at night for safety checks would prefer to remain in it – and then we find out just why.
In fact, on this night in particular, it had been damned hard. And so had he. Perfectly Moody. Great voice you give him.
Barty. Fucking. Crouch. Fucking. Junior Absolutely. The junior aspect would irk him most.
And I love the section where he is so concerned for her own damned good (of course, Alastar, that was all it was) and she so shirty about it.
that girl's blouse of an Albus Hee!
(or, being Minerva, to have given a sharp nod of approval) He knows her so well.
no matter how safe Dumbledore said the place was, it wasn't smart to make a habit of sleeping in the same house too often Such a wonderful Moody detail. Just how he would think.
The brainy one with the broom up her bum. Ha! And yes, just like Minerva.
could feel the rage and humiliation and, yes, the fear of the trunk filling him again Must have cost him something to admit to the fear. But it’s all the more powerful for the understated way you put it.
in fact, I was quite sharp with Augusta when she owled to complain about your hiring. Oh, Merlin, parents’ letters. Glad to hear Minerva got a chance to speak her mind in one of them.
"Dumbledore never spent a summer in your bed," she retorted, and then arched an eyebrow at him. "That I know of." Hahaha!
"Pot, cauldron, black," she countered. And tee-hee!
Unless you're planning to scream my name in ecstasy and don't remember how to cast a silencing charm Can’t help visualizing this happening, and the reactions in various parts of the house.
A great story, with such a perfectly IC Moody. He's more himself than in canon, here.
