Sam Capper is Ginny Weasley's pretend wife. (six_string) wrote in wished,
Potterwatch had been fantastic. The whole idea was marvellous enough but the actual broadcast had been better than Sam could have imagined. For the most part. It was real news, none of biased and questionable Prophet reports which she could only suppose were written by Death Eaters or people too dumb to figure out who was giving them orders; She wasn't sure which was worse.
But the part she hadn't been ready for was the announcement about Mum. She hadn't been aware that was going to be part of it and hearing them talk about disappearances and the seriousness and then mention her own mother next...It had just been too much. Rather than lose it in front of everyone she flashed Ginny the briefest look and excused herself, making use of the trip back to her dorm to compose herself.
By the time she was back in their dorm she'd managed to school herself and force any tears back below the surface. It was almost impossible for her to express how sick she was of her new ability to get teary eyed at the drop of hat. When she let herself into the dorm room she saw both Vicky and Demelza but chose to ignore their glances, instead walking over to her bed first and tossing herself onto it, playing at casual. "Did you guys listen?"
