!status: complete, ^date: november 15 2003, character: anthony goldstein, character: michael corner

Characters: Anthony & Michael
Setting: 15 November (Saturday), around 12:24PM.
Summary: Best mates being best mates, ~~possible~~ definite angsting because that's what they do best.
Rating: PG-13 because there might be language.

Since the night before had been perfectly nightmare-free, Anthony had tried to look on a... brighter side. Tried being the key word because honestly, he had a few things to be less than positive about. Like, for instance, the fact that he was ever aware that later on he had a nightmare to look forward to. He really hoped the bad reaction had been a one time thing as he wasn't very keen on the idea of feeling as if he was still there for half the day after waking. It wasn't very conducive to functionality nor productivity and Anthony had things he needed to focus on.

Like the warning system for one. He'd need a second opinion on his theory once it was completely figured out... preferably someone with a good knowledge of charms and defense spells - maybe he should just talk to Hermione, actually. He didn't want everyone to think things were all safe and dandy and then find out that, no, it hadn't done anything helpful at all in the long run. Which was part of the reason he hadn't tried to push Michael into not feeling to blame about his potion. Even if that hadn't been Anthony's original intention. He'd been much more concerned with the urge to be sick and the like - which had been new in a horrible way, but that was beside the point.

The point was that Anthony was reasonably sure he might have had a pseudo-solution. Something part sneakoscope, part portkey-like for the wizards and something to notify the nearest wizard relative for the Muggles. Of course, he could always switch it up and have both notify the DA to be broader in terms of the amount of help available.

Thinking about this was a good way to not focus on the body he'd found yesterday evening with Zacharias Smith. He was sure it wasn't so much the body itself not that he had time to... process it, so much as it was what the body represented, and -

Anthony shook his head, knocking on the door to Michael's flat because he was a civilised person who didn't just go letting himself into people's places on his own, and he decided he was not going to finish that thought because then he'd likely end up like Lavender in a week's time and start calling everything hopeless and the like.

Michael knew what that tone meant and he could tell that Anthony was not really falling for the act, which didn't really help since it wasn't just for Anthony. If Greyback really was a threat to him now, who knew what that might mean for the future.

"Well I mean, the Death Eaters are disbanded, right? He's not really got any help there. And who knows if he has a pack anymore; it may just be him and that wizard which means once the aurors find him they can get him back into Azkaban where he belongs. And the full moon is quite a ways away so we won't have to worry about that problem for a while so that's a plus. It could be worse, really." Though Lavender's niece and nephew should probably not be going to Eastbourne anymore all things considered.

There wasn't actually much keeping Anthony from telling Michael how much like bullshit that sounded to him, other than the fact that it partly occurred to him why Michael was trying to hold onto the idea that it wasn't as bad as it really actually was. So instead of giving another sarcastic reply, he bit his bottom lip. Though, he really really wanted to say more.

"Yeah. Right," Anthony tried to actually say lightly, but even to him it just came off a bit more as if he was taking a bit of a break and would return to heavily disagreeing with Michael on how bad this new development was or wasn't the next chance he got. Which, was likely actually true, he suspected.
