Characters: Lavender Brown and Penelope Clearwater
Setting: November 5 at 18:00; Obscurus Books Office, Upstairs
Summary: Lavender and Penelope investigate as Lavender has found a story that seems to match hers.
Rating: Worksafe

After sending the next return owl, Penelope had returned her focus to the last item on the list for the day. As of late she had been overly distracted, and had fallen behind in everything. She just hoped that everything will be resolved before she really fell behind, and would start to miss deadlines. She didn't need anything to get any more stressful than it already was. And then there were concerns over what those "dreams" really were. What really bothered her was how Harry reacted to it...

Looking at a small clock at the corner of her desk, she realized that it was just about 6:00pm, the time she had invited Lavender to her office. She knew that she probably should go and wait for her downstairs in the sales area, as it was quite easy to pass the easily-missed store front. Prior to leaving her office, she cast a simple organizing charm so that all of her papers fell into neat little piles and had made the crumpled pieces of paper in the waste basket disappear. She took a pile of books off of the extra chair in her office and set it on her desk. The small office was as neat as it would get right now. With that done she went downstairs, and had a quick look around the store to ensure that Lavender hadn't already arrived.

One of those sorts of exes, then. There just had to be something off with those Weasley men if that was the case. While she didn't avoid talking to Ron, it was always awkward if they did run into each other.

Considering what it would be like to have to talk to Ron when she really didn't want to, she settled on a different option. "Would it be okay if contacted him and mentioned our conversation?" Because she really did want to get to the bottom of this and she had nothing outright against Percy Weasley.

"You know to try and get him to talk and confirm if there is the connection?" Once they figured that out, there might be more, but right now she would start there. Baby steps.

"Sure," Penelope replied, realizing that she was tense around her shoulders but relaxed them after assuring herself there was no reason to feel that way. Well she didn't need to worry about speaking to him. Not right away, at least.

"I'll be alright with that. Hopefully he'll tell you what is going on. He has a way of hiding everything he feels. It's rather frustrating to say the least. So you may have difficulty finding anything from him at first since he'd probably hide something, especially something like that. That's if he hadn't changed much at all." Which in her mind, was the likely case.

"He's smart, right?" She asked after a moment. "I don't know him that well, but from what I remember of him at school is he's smart and if is having the nightmares, well, then maybe he'd want to figure that out." Although, she would probably wait until after Saturday to meet with him if she was going to approach him in person. Otherwise she might not be so patient.

"It's a place to start at the least." An exception that might even prove the rule. Of course she would have to figure out what the rule was, but the more that she could figure out the closer she was getting.

"He is smart, but I'm not sure whether he's the sort that would admit to having nightmares like that, or that they're bothering him. He's insufferable like that," Penelope said with a sigh. For some reason it still hurt to think about Percy, just a bit. Had there not been the war, she could've imagined that things would've turned out differently. Many things would've and could've been different. But she wasn't sure how.

"But it is indeed a place to start. I'm glad that we did find some place to move on from," she said with a small smile. "Thank you for looking into this. I'll try to do some further investigation myself, and I'll let you know what I do find."

"Sounds like your typical Weasley then." Not that they would admit it, but Lavender could see how they could all be a bit insufferable in their own ways. Although she supposed that could be true of most people. "But I will keep that in mind." At least that way she could go into knowing she would need to be a bit more persistent to get what she needed to know.

"And by all means, I think the more people trying to figure it out, the sooner we'll get some sort of answer, especially if we are coordinating our work." Today, taking a chance had worked and while she had another lead, Lavender wasn't sure she was any closer to the answer. But that was why there were people smarter than her who hopefully were working on this too and might even be willing to listen to her. "Thanks for agreeing to meet with me on such short notice too."

"Thanks," Penelope said with a sad smile. "It wasn't a bother in the least. I would much rather that this is resolved quickly."

She paused for a moment before offering more. "If you're having trouble with Percy and you think he does know more than he speaks of, just let me know. I can try to address this with him. But, I suspect that you will find a way. Good luck with this. And let me know if you do find something."

Lavender nodded. "I will certainly do that if he doesn't prove to be any trouble." Honestly, she didn't know what to suspect. As long as they were right about it being him then there was a good chance that he would talk. He did after all, submit his not-dream to the database and curiosity wasn't something that just stopped when unfulfilled.

"And if I find anything I'll definitely be in touch, I mean, I imagine if it is Percy, then I might want to talk to you again anyway to see if there is anything else to be learned." She gathered all of her things together and stood up to leave.
