Characters: Lavender Brown, the Brown family, Michael Corner; later Agatha Bole & Fenrir Greyback
Setting: Lavender's home, Eastbourne, 14 November 2003, 12:14pm
Rating: PG-13 for language and imagery
Summary: Checking on Lavender after the news, being surprised by Greyback.

Michael had had a pretty shitty morning overall. With Greyback breaking out which he knew would set Lavender on edge (and was obviously not good for any of them - not just Lavender), he wanted to do his best to make sure she was at least not losing her mind about all of this. She probably didn't feel safe at all and even if her flat was back in order, was she going to move back into it? He had no idea, but he had a feeling it probably was a no.

But besides that, he had the potions mucking people's minds up. Apparently instead of helping it was making the nightmares even worse for them which was both mind boggling and ridiculous at the same time. But most of all, it meant that Michael had fucked up royally and ruined things for his friends. He should have anticipated something like this happening, having the knowledge of potions that he did, but he was so keen on helping these people that he overlooked some of the most important things he should have done.

So he wasn't in the best of moods when he apparated to Eastbourne, but he had to try his best to comfort Lavender right now. He walked out of the wood behind their house and to the front door, knocking firmly on the front door and doing his best to put a smile on his face for Lavender and her family that he might be talking to on the way. Her needs were a bit more than his at the moment and he wanted to make sure he kept her from taking anymore of the potion while he was there anyhow.

"I live in London. Or well, I normally live in London-" she was just sort of homeless at the moment following the break in incident last week. The fact that this auror was suggesting her family pack up and leave right now was almost too much to deal with. She was already hold her dead dog and now this?

"And like all of my family is here, in Eastbourne, we run a guesthouse. Except for like my uncle and aunt who are up in London for the bakery in Diagon." That made it worse. Those two businesses had supported the family and it might not be particularly busy tourist season, it was still income. "And I - I can't make those decisions, so we should just head back."

Before anyone else had any other things to drop on her, she started the few feet down the beach to where they could have better cover to apparate back home.

"Of course," Agatha replied tightly. She'd always seen things in rather straightforward terms - doing whatever was necessary to survive in one piece was always of utmost importance - and it always frustrated her whenever she encountered someone who was less clear about their priorities, at least the way she saw them.

"In the meantime, I'll make sure the wards are up to date. And keep that pack of Drooble's on you at all times."
