kalichan. It features Severus Snape, Lucius & Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix & Rodolphus Lestrange and Regulus Black and mostly takes place in 1979 – 1981 but has forays both significantly forward and back in time.
Disclaimer: It’s JKR’s world, I just mess about with it.
Severus exited the castle and started down the slight slope in front of it to the clearing Allosia had been flying in for the last month. Once there, he watched her for a little while, silently, noting how she never looked at the ground once. She only would when it was time to land.
She had taught him that trick, but it would never be as second nature to him as it was to her. For Allosia flying meant becoming oblivious to the mere notion of the ground; all directions, all possibilities must be equal. This strange and somewhat dangerous outlook spoke to her character, to the strength he knew she must have to be an auror and to be merely the person she was, and mostly blithe about it. She was unafraid to cry and unafraid to hit, and he well knew there were few people both those things could be said about.
He cast exaudio at her and was pleased but not surprised to see her twitch as if an insect had buzzed past her ear. He laughed softly and she made a noise of annoyance before whispering to him from that distance, "That tickles!"
"Sorry, I thought shouting an invitation for drinks might be ill-advised under the circumstances."
"When?"
"Whenever you're done - I'm working on something for a journal, I'll be up late, and there are some issues we need to put some thought to."
"I see."
Severus thought about reassuring her, but then thought the better of it. It was her job to work out how confident she was of his desire. And under the circumstances he knew that they'd have to be very sure of themselves if they could even begin to trust each other.
He made a face, waiting for an answer from her.
"How is it I can hear your facial expressions, Severus?"
"Impatience is loud. Shall I expect you?"
"Yes, in a while."
"Very well," he said, bowing his head slightly and turning to go. Then he paused, and mumbled the words to end the spell before striding off into the dark.
