Detention, Depths of the Castle, Monday

[bigdamnprisoner.livejournal.com]

Morning had broken in Fandom, and another day in detention was about to begin, the same as every other day.

For the moment, things were as quiet as they probably ever got, while everyone was still resting on their cots, women on one side of the magical black cloth barrier, men on the other. Soon, those who had managed to sleep would be woken by the ever-cheerful voice of Dolores Umbridge coming from the loudspeakers, ordering them to rise. The barrier would disappear, and whatever bland, tasteless substance they were calling breakfast today would appear instead. After that, those in detention were free to do whatever they wanted ... if they could find anything to do that didn't break one of the island's rules, or that could be done while trapped away from everyone else.

But really, the days of those in detention weren't that slow. Soon enough, visiting hours would start, and there wouldn't be nearly as much boredom then.

Phoebe didn't say anything to disturb him, but she did move to sit near Wyatt. She would give anything for him not to be in here, but she figured he knew that.

At least Chris had never come to this place. He'd been planning to follow, but Wyatt managed to get a warning to him not to come.

He looked over to Phoebe and nodded. Finding out that his mom and aunts were alive in some reality had been kind of amazing. Being stuck in prison with one of said aunts, not so much.

Phoebe nodded back, but she didn't smile. She rarely smiled nowadays.

"It wasn't always like this," she finally whispered. "It was better."

It was one of the things she kept reminding herself and those around her because it had to get better again, right?
