Characters: Zacharias Smith and Ernie Macmillan
Setting: Sunday November 2nd, 2003; Morning, after this; At St. Mungo's Morgue.
Summary: Zacharias just had to go and run off on his own to confirm the news about his father, and Ern follows...

Upon his arrival at the morgue at St. Mungo's, Ern was made aware that Smith had already gone to see his father. Instead of following him, Ern thought it would be best to wait for him and offer any support, as necessary. Smith probably needed some time on his own. Despite Smith being one of the biggest gits ever, and resenting the name-calling Ern felt incredible sadness for him and responsibility to ensure that he was alright. (Virgin boy? Pffft! That was low, and rather inaccurate. How can one be a virgin with a friend like Justin Finch-Fletchley? But Ern wasn't one to brag about his sexual escapades since that was just low. And so that, he was fairly sure, left him with that nickname from Smith.) He knew deep down that despite being at odds with his parents, Smith would be upset. Ern knew that as the case for himself too. Not that they had too much in common.

While waiting for Smith, Ern had taken to speaking with the wizard at the desk just outside of the morgue about the unreal reality of Harry's funeral tomorrow. He luckily had the day off due to picking up the extra day because of the chaos. He wondered if the two murders were linked, but it wasn't something that he'd likely know right away unless the investigators disclosed that at work at some point.
