Chapter 29 Screaming Silence

Early the next mourning Carina woke up feeling exhausted, she wondered if she had slept or just passed out. She looked up to see she wasn't in her room at all. She sat up looking down to the big lounge chair. Her neck was stiff from how she had slept on it. She cursed under her breath and moved to leave the room. She opened the door as silently as possible, and walked down the hall. She felt cold she looked down to see she was in her compfy muggle clothes, wearing her clothe shorts and a tee shirt and she was barefoot. She knew it was impossible to go to bed now so she decided to stay awake and cook breakfast for her house mates.

She walked into the kitchen and waved her wand so that the counter bar grew and turned into a wall with a door, now blocking the kitchen from the hall way. She walk to the fire place and stuck her wand to the bottom of the logs and whispered "flamma" and a fire began growing in the hearth.

She began making breakfast, pancakes, melon wrapped with prosciutto, and bacon stacked on on thick Italian loaf with a egg sunny-side-up, tomato and lettuce (a great sand which, even if it took a few extra napkins to keep fingers and chin clean). Every now and then she would let out a sob and a few tears would fall. Then she would pull it back and continue on. When the cooking was finished she looked at the clock 5:AM. Severus would be awake in 30 minutes but she had no clue when Remus would be awake. She placed the food on the table that sat just outside the door opposite of where the bar used to be. Then placed a stasis spell on it keeping it fresh until they came to eat.

She didn't feel like eating or talking so she moved to her room and began to get ready for the day. She showered and dried her hair the muggle way. So what it if it wasn't as straight and in order as it usually was, there was nothing wrong with wavy hair even if it looked a bit like a mane.

She decided to go to the library and find a few book she knew would come in handy at Hogwarts. She still felt a bit wary of the room but went in all the same. She gathered the books, shrunk them, and put them in her pocket.

She left the library and went to the kitchen and decided to go on to work, so she wrote a quick note and hopped throw the floo.

Severus woke up feeling groggy he looked to the clock, crap he slept late. He had waiting so long for Carina to leave that blasted red room but no, she seemed bound and determined to ignore the fact that people wanted to know if she were alright. Cursing he jerked out of bed and made a hasty attempted at a shower, not much help. He went to the kitchen that was walled up so she must already be awake he thought. As he entered he found the note that said where she was and that food had been made and was in the dinning room. Of course she took off without talking to him.

He began to pace around the dinning room glaring at the table made full of food. He enjoyed her cooking, even more then he enjoyed any house elves cooking. She of course cooked like she did potions on instinct. While she knew the rules of potions makings, had memorized almost all the properties of the base potions elements, and she knew the standard and above standard potion guide to mixing by heart, but she would be hanged if she let the rules stand in the way of imagination and her instinct that it would "work out in the end". He had watched (at a safe distance) when she used this estranged logic when mixing a Ashwinder egg and a Mermaid egg into a Calderon at the same time then jumping under the table at the crazy concoction sputtered and hissed, in the end she had made and amazing head ache remedy just like she said she would. She seemed to have tuned that ability until she used it with almost every thing she did, from cooking amazing foods, to befriended the oddest people she could meet along with anyone else.

Finally with a loud roar of his hungry stomach he picked up piece of the melon and prosciutto and popped in into his mouth. 'Dang, Woman sure can cook' he thought as he savored the taste of the weird mixture of fruit and meat. Then he scowled and went to the kitchen then rummaged around for the trash can. It was almost empty. She hadn't even bothered to eat. He decided to grab a plate and fill up before going to Hogwarts. AS he picked the food he wanted and poured his coffee he realized he was in a mood when he scowled at the bit of toast that fell off his plate. He growled at the toast and himself then.

AS he sat his mind wondered thinking over just what and how much Albus told her, she sure as heck didn't find out his role in it all or she would'nt have cooked for him. But what did she think was his reason for the old man finally kicking the bucket. Alright he could admit that this was a little hard even for himself to say but Albus had asked him to do the utmost horrible thing he could think of, and was not in the lest bit remorseful for his request and his demanding of him. Albus hadn't even concerned himself with what could happen to Severus's soul if he had to come through in the end.

He didn't feel like he could stomach anymore food, he just wanted to be... alone for just a little while.

"Mourning." Remus stood in the doorway looking like he hadn't got any sleep last night either.

Severus scowled and walked down the hallway to his room shaking his fist at the "red door" as he passed it.

Remus had also decided to forgo the usual ritual of sleep. He had waited hours upon hours for Carina to come out of that stupid room, What was in there anyways? He moved off the chair, looking down to see that he still had on his clothes from the day before. He would see if anyone else was awake, maybe find something to eat, then it was a full day of getting ready to go to the werewolves refuge camps.

Well there was food he could smell it as soon as he opened the door. Carina must not have gotten but maybe and hour of sleep last night. he moved to the dinning room, Severus sat there looking just as bad as Remus felt. "Mourning." he sighed as Severus stood and marched off. Must not have gotten any sleep either. Today would be a hectic day.

Carina sat at her desk reading 'A Magical Guide to the Minds of Children' so far all it was doing was putting her to sleep. Soon her head hit to desk and she was drooling slight on the book.

Severus was going through files of the old DADA professors reading up on what had been taught and what hadn't. his eyes were slowly beginning to close and his head drift closer and closer to the arm on the desk, soon his head was cradled in his elbow and his eyes were blissfully shut.

Remus was using a drying spell on the wet clothes he had just washed, he would need them for the trip. He threw the bundle on the bed and sat to began folding them, it wasn't long before the werewolf was tucked into the hot pile of clothes fast asleep.
