!status: complete, ^date: november 13 2003, character: anthony goldstein, character: marietta edgecombe, character: michael corner

Characters: Michael Corner, Marietta Edgecombe & Anthony Goldstein
Setting: Diagon Alley, Flourish and Blotts, 13 November 2003, 1:23pm
Rating: PG-13 for language probably
Summary: Chance run-in that will probably result in arguing and disgruntled ex-DA friendlies.

Since the Kissed were mostly getting cleaned up by now, Marietta found it a fine time to stroll about Diagon Alley to see the mess they might have made. It was interesting to see something you had been involved in creating chaos across the wizarding world. A lot of the store fronts had been torn to pieces and there were still body parts from them lying around the streets. Apparently the only way to stop them had been to rip them to pieces. How very noble of them; and they called themselves good, yet were okay with ripping apart defenseless bodies who had no brain or souls.

Marietta made her way into Flourish and Blotts which had made it out mostly unscathed it seemed. She wondered if they had any books that mentioned anything about Pandora and was searched through the stacks for anything Gellert Grindelwald when she saw one Anthony Goldstein in the shop as well. She never had much contact with him at the Ministry, but she knew that he was an Obliviator and also an enemy because of his current ties to Dumbledore's Army. Well, if they were current, but considering what was going on, she would not put it past them to not be. Maybe this would be a perfect chance to try and find out just that. Anthony was one of the quiet ones, she remembered back from their days at Hogwarts, though he always ran with Michael Corner who was a loud mouthed, foul creature and Terry Boot who was hard to remember much either way. Yes, Anthony was definitely better to get to when he was alone and Marietta was feeling quite good thanks to her Lady's triumph the past day.

She walked up to Anthony and pulled a random book from the shelf near him, flipping through the pages without actually paying them any mind. "Well hello, Anthony. How are you today? I hope this mess hasn't caused your department too much trouble." It was always better to start with something pleasant if you were fishing for information.

Anthony was still as she spoke, the stony look on his face not wavering for even the slightest moment. Michael not even making much of an effort to deny Marietta's claims - and Anthony didn't care if he still believed it honestly (or that was the stance he was taking on it in this current moment because overall he cared a lot), he could have... lied or something - was disappointing, even if he might have expected as much, knowing him.

Somewhere, he was aware that he hadn't given Marietta any formal affirmation, and that she might have just been talking about the DA as a whole, but knowing personally that it still included him because he was having the nightmares and therefore most definitely happened to be on that list made him ignore logic. It didn't help that her last words pretty clearly expressed exactly what he was scared of underneath all the research - that nothing was going to work in the end and he was just biding his time until Pandora killed him. Or worse, that she'd try and Michael would make good on his promise. Either way, he didn't like the end result. And he didn't have enough positivity in him to he hopeful for an option C where everyone lived.
