He was already in there when she arrived. Sliding her fishbowl onto the desk next to his, Vega dropped into the seat beside him.

“So you’re back, then.”

He rewarded her with a blank stare.

“What?”
I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
“—boy, who’s your baby?”
“girl, if you don’t know by now—”

“You’re back,” she said again.

“Dorset put posters of your face all over the common room. And in huge letters, MISSING: JEREMIAH SMALLWEED. But you’re back now. Obviously.”

“Yeah,” he agreed. “Obviously.”

“So where were you, then? Apparently, you were gone for a whole week. I didn’t notice, but Dorset certainly did.”

“…No,” she agreed, slightly disappointed.

“I suppose it’s not. But I’d want to tell someone, if I were you. It must’ve been lonely, being missing for a whole week.”

He opened his mouth, but Mrs Galanis jumped in to start the lesson before he could tell Vega Nettlebed that he didn’t care what she thought.

(She was right, though. It had been lonely over there.)

“…Pax Fellwater and Orion Alricsson…pushed you into a Vanishing Cabinet.” Ella repeated slowly, studying him from her deckchair.

wish you may and wish you might, don’t you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day, butterfly, fly away

“...Yes.”

I can’t do everythin’ but I’d do anythin’ for you
I can’t do anythin’ ’cept be in love with you

“I see. Well, that certainly explains why you missed all those classes last week.”

“No?”

She gave him a quizzical look.

“…Right.”

She flicked her wand. A box of Fudge Flies landed in his lap.

“And how are you feeling now?”

Jeremiah shrugged. “Alright.”

st. mungo's: spell damage department

“Cyrus?” Ella poked her head through his office door.

“I need to talk to you.”
do you remember the twenty-first night of september?
love was changing the minds of pretenders while chasing the clouds away
our hearts were ringing in the key that our souls were singing
as we danced in the night, remember how the stars stole the night away

Cyrus had not been expecting her.

That much was evident from the fact that he was currently dozing in his chair, the medical textbook he was supposed to be reading having long since fallen from his grip to the floor below.

He jumped, startled awake. “What are you doing here?”

WHEN I COME TO CALL,
SHE WON'T FORSAKE ME
I'M LOVING ANGELS INSTEAD

“It’s nice to see you too.” A faint smile twinkled its way up to her eyes.

“I need your help. One of my kids — well, not one of my kids, but, you know, a kid that I feel responsible for told me today that he got swallowed by a Vanishing Cabinet.”
schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
and I have to sit down for a while
