Re: Stephen and open
Augustus hadn't meant to be in the middle of this. He'd been keeping a low profile, waiting for further instructions from the ministry, which seemed to have forgotten his existence, or from rodolphus, who seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.
He'd been out getting some provisions when he decided to take an ill fated shortcut. He hadn't been aware of any protests but he had heard about Malfoys release. This clearly was the reaction.
The explosion caught him off guard and instinctively he went toward it, when he all but ran into a young man who looked very familiar.
