NINE
[Friends]
I was there.

It wasn't a call I expected to receive, to go to these houses in the middle of the night to see the Dark Mark in the sky. To have to see the dismembered bodies of innocent children... it shakes you to your soul.

It's my job, but coming up with an 'excuse' for such a thing is nearly impossible. I hated to use the excuse of a serial killer. It's too open ended, it leaves too much room for suspicion, and having to work with the Muggle Police is always difficult in my opinion. I wish we could've given them a more closed reason, if only because I wanted to convince myself that something like this could never happen again.

I've not left the house in a few days. I can't get that image out of my head. This little baby. Merlin, it makes me sick.

[Alice]
I could come stay with you. Or you with me. As long as Frank is away at Hogwarts... I worry for your safety.

Let's talk. Or walk. I need to see you.

Lily, James
Don't let her out of your sight for a minute. She's far to beautiful and amazing for any harm to come to her. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

	We're not planning on it, don't worry. (Reply to this)

	I'd hate to have your job, mate. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sometimes it's not so bad. Sometimes it's awful. But I imagine it can be that way for any job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peter charmedblack 2012-10-08 12:45 am UTC (link)
	Well, sure, but it's always good to like what you're doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Peter _peter 2012-10-08 01:15 am UTC (link)
	For the most part, I do like it. It passes the time quite well. But like any job that involves accidents and catastrophes, there is always a dark side. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peter charmedblack 2012-10-08 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Too true. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Alice mrsalicelong 2012-10-09 04:18 am UTC (link)
	I'm fine, Peter. I'm not muggleborn. I don't really have anything to worry about. I've been out of sorts, but I don't know if leaving my house is a very good idea. Frank comes home at night. Special clearance from McGonagall. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter _peter 2012-10-09 04:47 am UTC (link)
	You're known for being a member of the Order of the Phoenix. There have been Dark Marks sighted in the sky. You can't guarantee they wouldn't come after you. Besides, I can tell you're depressed. It would be good for both of us to have some company. ~~Why does Frank get special permission? Why don't the other professors get to go home? Arse.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter mrsalicelong 2012-10-09 04:54 am UTC (link)
	I am. I don't know that they would come after me. And I'm an Auror, and a capable one, with very good wards on the house. Don't worry, Peter, I'm fine. I...well, it's fine. I'm seeing someone. I'm sure I'll be fine soon. But if you want to visit, I'm sure we can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter _peter 2012-10-09 05:03 am UTC (link)
	Physically fine, perhaps. But that's not what I'm worried about. ~~Not entirely, anyway~~. Seeing someone? Like... a therapist? Alice, you know you can talk to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter mrsalicelong 2012-10-09 05:54 am UTC (link)
	Yes, physically fine. And that's all that I need worry about in regards to them. A muggle doctor, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter _peter 2012-10-09 06:08 am UTC (link)
	I just wish you'd let me look after you a bit. I could cook for you, and cheer you up. What sort of muggle doctor? Are you ill? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter mrsalicelong 2012-10-09 06:14 am UTC (link)
	I would be glad for you to cook me a meal and cheer me up. Name the day. A..psychiatrist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter _peter 2012-10-09 06:45 am UTC (link)
	How about now? Merlin, Alice, you could have just talked to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter mrsalicelong 2012-10-09 06:54 am UTC (link)
	Now is good. If you'd like. Peter, I need a professional. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter _peter 2012-10-09 07:11 am UTC (link)
	Is it? Who could possibly know you better than me? A professional didn't grow up with you, hasn't been there for every up and down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter mrsalicelong 2012-10-09 07:17 am UTC (link)
	Sure. I'm not doing anything. That's not...it's not quite like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter _peter 2012-10-09 07:21 am UTC (link)
	I mean, are you sure you still want me to? How so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter mrsalicelong 2012-10-09 07:42 am UTC (link)
	Of course, why wouldn't I? I mean...there's something chemically wrong with my brain. There's...muggle pills. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter _peter 2012-10-09 07:43 am UTC (link)
	~~Because I.... oh, forget it.~~ Fine. See you soon. Do they work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter mrsalicelong 2012-10-09 07:57 am UTC (link)
	What is it, Peter? Okay, good. See you soon. So far, I think. They make me sleepy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter _peter 2012-10-09 08:07 am UTC (link)
	Because I got snappy with you. What would you like for supper? I see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice/Peter mrsalicelong 2012-10-09 08:16 am UTC (link)
	Oh Peter. I wouldn't hold that against you. You are still my dear friend, always. Whatever you'd like to make. No cereal. That's all I know to make, so my dinners have been a bit samey. (Reply to this) (Parent)
