Who: Colin Creevey and Lagertha.
What: Running into each other
Where: Their apartment 4-C
When: Backdated to yesterday afternoon
Warnings: None.


By the time that Draco and George had allowed Colin to take a shower and gave him the first decent meal he’d had in weeks, it was late. They’d spoken a lot, taught him about the things he’d need to know to live in the new, strange dimension before Draco walked him to the apartment he’d been living in. It was still strange to him, that someone he would have sworn was pure evil would be so nice to him. He’d even given Colin a bunch of snacks to hoard away in case he got hungry later.

The apartment had been dark when Colin crept in, but he found his room easily and laid down on the most comfortable bed he’d ever felt in his life. With ease, the teenager slept well into the afternoon. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d slept so well, he could barely remember his bed at home, or the one in the dorms, having become used to sharing the floor of his small tent with his brother.

Colin took his time taking yet another shower, revelling in the water that washed over him. He’d taken them for granted for his entire life. They were honestly wonderful things. He’d grabbed his camera and his wand and the cellphone that Draco promised would be his. He was going to explore the town and maybe see if George and Draco wanted to do something. Or he’d find Hermione.

Colin stopped short when he’d wandered out into the main rooms of the apartment and spotted a woman there. She was tall, and pretty, but fierce looking. He backed up to run away from her, back to his room to call for help but tripped over himself and landed on his bottom with a squeak and a thud.

She was setting up her weaving loom when Colin came out, she'd heard the shower on and there was lunch on that kitchen table - just beef sandwiches with fresh garden lettuce, onion and tomatoes - but she'd not wanted to bother him to let him know.

Until he looked utterly panicked. She gave him a soft smile putting her hands up to show she had nothing to hurt him with. She was a mother so she had the occurrence of a saint, she'd been new here too once, so she didn't take offense.

"You must be Colin. Are you okay?" She said gently, her voice was accented with what was closest to Norwegian sounding, she looked fierce (and she was) but she knew how to be gentle. "I am Lagertha, sorry to have startled you. I am to be your guardian here." It was surprising to her to be given a ward, but not shocking. She'd raised two children, back home, and watched over many others. She just hadn't expected it here.

“Umm…” Colin didn’t know what he’d expected. Maybe he thought that because the Entity must have known that he’d been taking care of himself and Dennis for so long that it would let him get away without having an adult. Even as it were, he didn’t expect anyone like the Norse lady in front of him. She reminded him a little bit of the Durmstrung school.

“I’m fine!” He said, slowly pushing himself back onto his feet and standing, patting himself off of any invisible dust that might have clung to him. “I’m uh… not used to having other people around yet.” He didn’t know what she already knew about him, or what she didn’t know. He glanced over at the table with the food on it, it taking away his attention for a moment.

“But yes, Colin, I’m Colin.” He put out his hand to shake hers.

Lagertha smiled at him, "Sorry, I know that it might be a bit of a shock - I was not expecting this myself - but I will try to best by you." she would, too, she might be Norse and a former Queen and kind of a scary woman but she was warm and kind and had been a good mother to both her children. Someone comes to harm him, well, then her scary side will come out.

She didn't know much - she was just being cautious, and trying to be accommodating. "I'll give you as much space as you need."

She took his hand, hers was rough, the hands of a person who handled a sword for a living, and one who was a farmer - there was a little dirt under her nails. "A pleasure Colin, are you hungry? I made some food, I wasn't sure."

“Yes please!” Coling beamed when she asked if he was hungry. He was always hungry, even before they had spent so much time on the run. He took the camera from around his neck and put it on the counter before he dropped into a seat at the table. “UH. Thanks.” He said looking over the food.

“I will try not to be a bother. I’m sixteen, so like I’m almost an adult in my world.” He nodded. “Where are you from?”

She gestured to him to let him sit and eat his fill, she didn't mind really. "Close but still - I will make sure you are okay, and well fed and all that." she smiled gently, "I just ask you give me some courtesy and let me know when you'll be back late. I will worry."

She sat down across from him. "Me? Norway. But, uh, a long time ago. I am a Viking - I was a queen, once, and a Shield-maiden, but I was a farmer too and that's what I enjoy now,."

“That’s really cool, a real life Viking! And you were a queen? Did you have like castles and dragons and stuff? And like really cool knights.” Colin only stopped talking long enough to take a large bite out of his sandwich, chewing for half a second before starting again. “Sometimes, I imagine that Godric must have been something like that, right? Because he has a sword and was totally bad ass. So are you sort of like the Founders? I bet thats cool.”

“I’ve never been to Norway though. I’m from London, we don’t leave the city much, or go anywhere really cause my mum and dad work a lot. Not until I went to Hogwarts actually. It was my first time on the train and everything. I love the snack trolley, the witch gives me some free candy sometimes because she says I’m a sweet kid.”

She smiled faintly, "Real life Viking. And yes, a queen. But no castle or dragons. I had a very large home, though." She didn't mind the barrage of questions, she liked them.

"What is Hogwarts?" She asked, blinking, then smiled she could see someone calling him sweet. "I've been to England, a couple times." She said with a faint smile, oh those memories were so good.

"That is really neat." Colin said, taking another couple of over eager bites of food while they spoke.

"Oh!" Colin grinned wildly. "Hogwarts is the best place. It's in Scotland, and it's this huge castle where all the Witches and Wizards in England go to learn magic. It was a surprise when my parents found out... cause I'm a muggleborn-- which means that my parents aren't witches and wizards, but my brother and I are. It's wicked. He pulled out his wand to show her. "Watch this."

With a flick of his wand, he sent his cup over to the sink, and let it begin to wash itself out, before looking at her with a proud grin. "I can do all sorts of stuff." And then his eyes went wide. Could they track him. Nervously, he put his wand away. He had to remind himself that he was safe there.

"Thank you." She watched him for a moment before she picked up her own sandwich to eat. Then she set it down to watch him.

She had to stop herself from jumping in surprise. That was unlike anything she'd ever seen and it was wonderful, and a little scary for her. But she smiled widely, "that is amazing. I have never seen such a thing! How talented!"

Lagertha shook her head, "We had no such thing in my day. Oh, we had magic of sorts but nothing like that. I am impressed."

Colin was empathetic, and he could see the slight fear that crossed her face for a second, even though she did push past it. He supposed he should expect that.

"I was still learning... uh... before I had to go." It was clear that this was not a happy memory for Colin, his eyes falling to the floor, and he moved his food around without eating it for a second. He was still so incredibly worried about his brother.

"I learned how to make magic pictures too."

Lagertha tried to reassure him with a warmer smile, "Sorry, it is new for me - and I am sorry you didn't get to learn more. Do you have friends here who could help you learn more?" she asked carefully.

"what are magic pictures?" she cocked her head to the side, looking at him quizzically, "I haven't really understood pictures on their own - let alone magic ones. Tell me more?"

"There were bad people who took over." Colin frowned deeply, "I'm sure I get back to school eventually. When it's safe." He nodded.

"I bet i could get the Weasley Twins, or Hermione, or Someone to show me what I've missed." He nodded, "Since there aren't any Hogwarts here."

Colin pointed to his camera, "I can take pictures and like... normally they are just still pictures, but if I develope them with this potion I can make, then I ca make them move and stuff, like they would normally."

"Ah. I am sorry to hear that." She was trying, "hopefully you'll be able to return soon." She ran her fingers through her hair, then smiled.

"I think that might be good for you - just be careful, too. But you're welcome to explore what they can show you, and if you want, show me. I am fascinated."

Then she tilted her head, "that sounds lovely. Would you show me some of them sometime?" She asked honestly.
