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.

"Smith," Ernie had barely gotten the word out of his mouth when the man was gone. "Oh Merlin," he said with a sigh, shaking his head. What a day. He had almost wished that he did't leave his flat, but he knew it was probably for the better.

He muttered the repairing spell to quickly patch up the window after taking a glance around to note if there were any muggles down below or in the area. He couldn't help but feel pity at that very moment for Zacharias. For a moment Ern debated with himself as to whether he'd follow him to St. Mungo's. He knew that Zacharias tended to act with (at his very best) contempt towards himself. But at the same time he needed someone. Anyone.

Resigned to that line of thought, Ern apparated to St. Mungo's to meet Zacharias at the morgue.
