The Afternoon Of
It was currently 2 in the afternoon. He was late—Missing.
The clock ticked and ticked, causing an anxious sense of dread and suspicion to fill her system. Lucius mentioned that the release method is a long process and completely barbaric, but he was meant to be released at twelve and it closer to three than two now.
She fell further into the armchair that the elves pitied in bringing her, as well as a cup of tea and a book. Just as she was about to send the owl, she heard a demanding pop outside, thus having her body grow numb as he was indeed here.
This was it...
This was the moment of reuniting with her soul mate.
She burned the note in an instant and returned to her original position, flattening her dress as she wanted to attempt to look like she did back then—Back before years worth of work slowly took it out of her.
A second pop had sounded, leaving her to assume he was escorted properly, and before Aurora could really think further in terms of that possibility...The front door opened.
And the man that opened it had shut it quickly with a slam. Almost like he was hiding against it from whatever was outside, Aurora only assumed this is because there was a small peephole etched into the door.
But then he leaned his head against the wooden interior.
Sirens erupted in the back of her head, and though the man was utterly cautious and probably wanted to get away from the damned sun casting down onto him. He hadn't rightly struck Aurora with any knowledge to his surroundings just yet, Rabastan was still focused on what was outside.
"Rabastan...?" His wife whispered, but the man didn't move. Not even a flinch, and so she tried again. Only to be fired a shot at, and she groaned as it was a quick wave to direct it elsewhere, yet it still caused her to fall down rather sloppily to the floor.
This earned him a groan.
"A 'go away' would've worked just as well Lestrange, Merlin have me. Did you really bloody just fire a shot at me?!" She shouted, attempting to get back to her feet and remedy the situation. It wasn't the killing curse, she knew that, but that didn't mean she could identify it as she was too busy dodging the damn thing.
