Rating: General Public
Summary: Marietta begins work on her plan to obtain the dream database - and probably cause Lavender Brown more panic.

It was so easy to figure out Lavender Brown's schedule, just by checking in periodically through the last two days. Obviously Sunday might not be a normal work day for her but Monday would give Marietta a good idea of what she needed to know. On Sunday Brown didn't seem to leave the flat at all, not once Marietta had connected to it around half four. It had not taken her very long to get things set up from her home just as it was at her office. She already had a special connection in case she wanted to work from home and though she obviously wasn't supposed to abuse it, having your mother be the head of the FNA was a bit of an advantage in this sense. She had never minded bending the rules if it meant suiting her own needs and this of course was one of those times. She set up a temporary link between her floo and Lavender's so that it looked like two friends having a chat (though Lavender hadn't actually opened her end willingly, for a few hours only actually checked in the floo for a few seconds every so often to see what Brown was up to at that point. She only opened the floo connection checked twice that night as to not raise suspicions with the FNA and with the Brown woman. Monday was when the woman was gone to work at the Rising Loaf, some bakery in Diagon Alley run by her Aunt. How very quaint; it was almost enough to make Marietta retch - actually it was enough to make her retch because it was Monday morning now and she was having the dreams again last night. When she had the episode taken care of, she opened the connection again before work and checked on Lavender's flat. She was nowhere to be seen, which is what Marietta had expected, considering the time the place opened. Obviously she had to be there early if she were working in the back making the goods to be ready by the time the customers arrived at opening. By the time Marietta checked in at 5:30am she was already gone, which suited her just fine. This meant that she would be gone for hours, so if she was gone at this hour the next couple of days, Marietta would have a perfect chance to break in and find the dream database and Lavender Brown would be none the wiser, except maybe for the few glimpses she had had of Marietta's fiery red hair in her fireplace...
