!status: complete, ^date: november 14 2003, character: anthony goldstein, character: zacharias smith

Characters: Anthony & Zacharias
Setting: 14 November (Friday) @ 5:15PM.
Summary: Accidental run-ins, yay!
Rating: Safe for work, we're sure.

Anthony would have liked nothing more than to go straight to his flat and sleep well into the evening. If he could, at least. Ever since he'd managed to tear himself from the nightmare as it had returned the night before, it had sort of just... lingered with him. Almost as if no matter how hard he could have tried to actually concentrate on something neutral - like work, for instance - it just didn't work. It had been no better when it came to those topics he'd wanted to do some research for, either. Which meant that the only thing he'd managed to do all day was owl Michael while still panicking about how awful it had been. Usually, when he woke up, it still bothered him, but in a way where he was able to quickly realise that it hadn't been him, it had really been someone else; there had been no such realisation today.

All in all, Anthony felt less people-ready than his usual, and if it wasn't for the fact that he was very much sure that he had nothing in his flat to eat and should just buy some takeaway, he would have gone straight home. Thinking on his options, though, he was distracted and not doing very well at watching where he was going - the main reason he walked straight into someone else.

"Sorry, I - " He stopped when he saw who it was he'd knocked into. "Sorry."

Zacharias ran a hand through his hair, tucking his wand away as the aurors approached. Perhaps this time he might even get a chance to explain himself before he was bound and locked away. He even did his best to ignore the slight about this being the second body he was found with, it wasn't like he went looking for these things.

It did probably work in his favor that the person wasn't with him wasn't some hysterical half naked woman, but rather a somewhat respected man who even freaked out could manage to keep his wits about him. He gave the auror the basics of what had happened while the other worked to further secure the scene.

It would seem that any thoughts of immediately getting back to the office were best to be abandoned. Zacharias might be taken away bound, but both he and Anthony would have to go back to the department and likely give their official statements about what they saw. Not that there was anything to see, it was more of a finding.

Anthony had this feeling, deep down, that the hope he'd had of making it back to his flat and all but crashing so that he could completely leave this day behind him was pretty much null and void at this point. Which was just as he should have expected. Evidently it would have been too much to ask for an all right end to his day.

And then he was reminded that someone was dead and his inability to go home and instead go right back to the very place he'd just spent eight hours of his day to help tell what he knew might have been a bit more important in an unselfish sort of way.

Not for the first time, though, he wished he'd been paying attention to where he'd been going earlier.
