If she was going to actually be the next Head of Hogwarts, that is.
It was a shame the sun was so bright, Hazama Kuroo decided. What it should have been was downcast, a cold wind whipping down the alleyways while the raindrops threated to fall...
The Boy Who Lived looked miserable but determined, huddled with his two friends.
He missed his assistant and foster daughter, even though he'd hugged her goodbye only this morning, and with any luck would see her this evening or tomorrow at the latest.
There were plenty of people here that he'd known once upon a time, and even a couple that were related to him in one way or another.
None that he wanted to talk to, though. Not enough to attract any additional attention to himself, at any rate...
...Actually, no. There was one person he would have wanted to speak to in such a situation, once.
But no more.
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was dead, and there was nothing to be done about that any more.
At long last, the funeral was over.
Hazama Kuroo wondered just what he had come here for at all. To pay his respects to the old so-and-so?
Or maybe it was just to make sure he was actually dead and gone...
Since he was here at all, perhaps he should wander around his old alma matar a little. He hadn't gone to the Ravenclaw towers in ages...
He slowly walked around the grounds, passing a weeping Hagrid on the way. Just a little more, and there should be that little shed he had done a fair amount of his experiments in...
And that was his undoing, for it was at that very moment that a hand clamped down on his shoulder, and flung a red goldfish hair-tye in front of his eyes.
"You know what this is, don't you."
He did. Oh, he did. And that voice...
"Come with me now."
He knew who that voice belonged to.
"--You killed him, I hear."
Why was his voice so calm?
He craned his head around, seeing the black robes and the white mask.
"--Been partying, old friend?"
"No time for that."
The long, thin fingers wriggled the hairband suggestively.
"Now--Come."
It was supposed to be impossible to apparate in Hogwarts grounds, was the last thing Hazama Kuroo thought as he fell.
