 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
Since the aftermath of that ridiculous field trip, Nemesis Upstead had not said a word. It was perfectly clear, however, that they had not shut down like some of these idiots were wont to do. Even after the initial post-revival fury had faded away (five minutes, maybe ten, they'd not been counting), Nem had retained the unnervingly quiet, highly alert demeanour which had initially accompanied that wrath. So no, the furthest thing from shutting down; if anything, they were somehow even more vigilant than they'd been in recent months.
Despite the early hour, Nem had been awake when the alarm sounded, sitting in the Slytherin common room fully dressed and staring into the fireplace at the dying embers, just thinking. The alarm hadn't spooked them, loud and sudden though it was, but it had their attention all the same. Before the Big Man had even finished the word 'courtyard', Nem had been up and on their way, out of the common room before the time limit was set.
It didn't take long before they reached the meeting point, wand in hand. They passed between the two groups - the Neo-Alliance and the Hogwarts faithful - speaking at last, tone inscrutable, face impassive, to greet the Big Man on their way to a spot amongst the latter group, "Headmaster Rosier, sir."
Finding a place on the very edge of the gathered Hogwarts students and staff, Nem stood in place and set eyes on the Big Man, but a moment later looked instead towards the members of Rent-a-Snitch. For the time being, they kept their unfaltering gaze riveted there.
