From the noose

[attr="class","textbodde"]Agatha had taken the day to visit home. Her classes on Tuesday were considerably sparse, and once she had finished with her one morning class, she had Flooed over to her parents' house. Being back in Rhiannon was nice. Agatha didn't really get homesick, because that was kind of silly considering she lived just outside of London, and it wasn't like she had moved to an entirely different island, but she was often very busy. Between working at Realm and her classes--even if she was just a part time student--Agatha felt that she didn't go home quite enough. Besides, the downside to being part time was taking classes in the summer to make up for it, and work at Realm never really stotpped, so that just meant that Agatha accidentally spent less and less time in Rhiannon. But it was the place she had grown up and Agatha had a lot of fond memories of the place. She had attended primary school there, after all, and spent a great deal of her summers helping out her Aunt Gwyn at The Reading Nook, so even a quiet wallflower like Agatha had made her fair share of friends that still lived in the entirely magical village.

Besides, she hadn't taken a chance to unwind in so long, and Agatha thought that was extremely important. With how much she had on her plate, taking a moment to breathe was vital. She was trying to pace herself and take it easy, trying not to get wrapped up in all the uncertainties that had been filling her life lately. Agatha had been getting tunnel vision, lately. She couldn't help but think about her future and get a little panic attack at all the what ifs. All the things she had yet to figure out. But she knew that was silly. She was only eighteen, and she had her whole life ahead of her. There was time to figure it all out, eventually. But it wasn't just her own future that worried Agatha. Everything that had been happening with muggleborns left an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach, and seeing a former classmate the other day had only worsened that feeling. Topping it all off with people losing their magic left and right, Agatha felt like a lot of her future was falling apart--and not just the portion of it that she actually had some control over.

Tonight wasn't about that, though. Agatha had visited home and spent time with her parents for the day, and now she had dragged Reece and some old friends out to Pryderi Square for a night of drinks and fun. Agatha had fond memories of the place during her summer breaks from Hogwarts. Music shows and festivals always filled the square, especially so in the summer, and even if the weather was taking a colder turn, Agatha thought they could certainly take their get-together indoors to one of the many pubs. So that was what they had done, and now that Agatha was surrounded by the warmth and rowdiness of one of the Welsh pubs in the magical square, she felt just a little more at ease. Shrugging off her jacket and letting it rest in the nook of her arm, Agatha made a beeline for the bar, more or less leaving Reece and her friends in her dust. But she hadn't really been looking. She had a habit of doing that, and in her hot pursuit of a cold drink, Agatha had accidentally cut someone off. She stumbled a bit, her face reddening at how clumsy she was, but quickly steadied herself and glanced over at her victim with a nervous laugh and a slight cringe. "I'm so sorry! Merlin, my head's not on right," she quickly apologized. Admittedly, it had been an accident, but Agatha didn't see that as a reason to be rude.

[attr="class","cbody"]Caerus was adjusting. Or he was trying to, anyway. Life without magic wasn’t something that he’d ever even though of before. It was hard to come to terms with. He had just graduated Hogwarts, he’d gotten signed to a professional team, and now he couldn’t fly anymore. The Bats had been doing well, too. They had been well on their way to being ranked fair higher in the standings at the start of next term.
[break][break]
Hell, he thought they’d had a good chance of going all the way to the end this year. He was sure that they could have done it. But when the final rankings had come out after the last game of the league season, the Bats had not made the cut to go onto the post season and the playoffs. Maybe that was what made this a little easier. The Bats wouldn’t have won the championship this year.
[break][break]
But by next year, maybe they would stand a chance. Surely, a cure would be found by the time the league season started up again. Right? In his mind, there was plenty of time for medical advances by then. That was more than six months away. Caerus was sure that finding a cure was hard, but it was possible. He had to believe that it was possible.
[break][break]
He was lucky that he had school to focus on. That was definitely a silver lining in all of this. He didn’t just have Quidditch. He had his astronomy classes. He had something that he could still do even without magic. University of Bangor had even gone so far as to offer theoretical streams for those who had lost their magic. Not for majors like Astronomy, that was pretty theoretical already. But for people like LJ, who couldn’t brew anymore. It was just another example of University of Bangor being the superior school. He could scarcely believe it when he heard that Lufkin University was kicking students out of majors and staff out of teaching positions. That was harsh.
[break][break]
But not his problem. He was just glad that he had his own classes to focus on. Thank Merlin for that.
[break][break]
Today after his classes had come to an end, he had decided to go to Rhiannon with a few of his classmates. They had suggested it. There was some restaurant that they had wanted to try or something like that. Honestly, he had just needed a distraction and he thought that a trip to a new city definitely fit the bill.
[break][break]
It had definitely been nice—a little fancier than he had expected. He was no stranger to a fancy restaurant, but it wasn’t what he’d had in mind for tonight. He had thought that something a bit rowdier would be a lot more fun to check out the square the pub scene there. He hadn’t been able to talk his classmates into it, but that was fine. Caerus was fine with going off on his own, so he’d headed to Pryderi Square on his own.
[break][break]
Even though it was definitely getting colder out, the place was still pretty lively. Exactly what he was looking for. He hadn’t minded just people watching for a little while, but eventually he decided that heading into one of the pubs was definitely necessary. Every bar that he saw looked like it had its own advantages, and in the end, he just picked the one that looked the busiest and headed inside. It was while he was nearing the bar that he felt someone nearly stumble into him and he brought an arm out to settle them. “It’s all right,” he said, with an easy grin. “No injuries. You heading to the bar?” Caerus asked, finally dropping his hand back to his side now that the woman was steady. Or the witch, more like—he thought he recognized her from Hogwarts. A Hufflepuff, if memory served.
