a confrontation
Who: Ginny and Zacharias. Ernie later on.
What: Going toe-to-toe
When: November 2nd, around 9:00 AM
Where: Zacharias's flat
Rating: Worksafe

Early the next morning, Ginny again found herself going through the motions of a normal, daily routine. She ended up clean and dressed and sitting at the kitchen table, where mum had indeed cooked up a storm, just like both she and Percy thought she would. Manic cooking was how she had dealt with her grief after Fred's death; no surprise, then, that Ginny ended up eating more than could possibly be considered reasonable for breakfast.

She couldn't wait any longer though. Not when The Prophet announced that Smith had been released due to lack of sufficient evidence. She drained off her cup of tea, finished off the last bite of pancake that she could possibly manage, and then... ended up helping mum around the house for a bit. She couldn't leave her alone so easily, not when she clearly needed hugs and consoling too.

Finally she managed to break away, muttering some excuse about needing to see Luna for a bit. She ended up in Smith's Muggle neighborhood a short while later (no, they had never been close and she had never had reason to visit him before, but the benefit of living in a small community was that everyone knew where everybody lived, lack of privacy be damned).

Wand in hand, she knocked on his door. Promised herself she would be patient. She would act rational. She wouldn't do anything anyone could regret.

Not at all.

After waking up from a much better sleep after a terrible nightmare, Ern still felt a bit off. He had already decided what he needed to have done later in that day. It was supposed to be a low-key day but he had a hard time staying still. The flat was far too quiet. Hannah and Justin were out of the question for now, and he didn't want to bother Jasper any more than he already did. He then remembered Zacharias' situation... Maybe he should stop by to check in on him? He knew that they did have their differences, but Ern felt a measure of pity for him, and he did live with the git for seven years and knew him for longer. After apparating over Ern felt at least somewhat conflicted with his feelings of responsibility and the knowledge that Zacharias would likely not take his visit very well...

He stood outside of the building where Zacharias lived for a good minute, feeling somewhat conflicted as to whether he should even bother or whether he should continue to correspond with him over the journals. It was then he noticed a window shatter. "Merlin," he said drawing his breath in surprise. It looked like it was Zacharias' flat. In a matter of moments he had apparated himself to the front door of his former classmate's flat, and listened to several thuds and a very angry sounding... Witch?

Wand at the ready he quickly and silently went for the door, and saw a figure on top of what had to be Smith. "Mobilicorpus." He pointed his wand at the figure in an effort to extract her.
