Detention, Depths of the Castle, Monday

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.

Sookie never ate dinner on the days when Raven visited. She didn't even talk anymore, or offer to help anyone. She didn't even seem to see.

It would take hours before she came back. She sat quietly against the wall, hugging her knees and trying to remember what was real, and what wasn't.

Cassidy couldn't have stopped what happened, but she could do a simple kindness -- even if Sookie wouldn't be aware that it was her.

She took the blanket off her own cot and brought it to wrap gently around Sookie; before moving away so that she wasn't in Sookie's personal space.

Later, Sookie would come to and realize she was warm. She'd try and seek out who'd taken care of her, and she would thank Cassidy, if she pieced it together.

But right now, she didn't even realize anything had changed. She stared ahead, glassy-eyed, at something no one else could see.
