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.

"It won't last," Wyatt said. "Never does. Someday, somehow, we'll find a way to stop you all."

It was hard to keep up hope, though. He'd been stuck in here a long time.

"And every time people on that side that, they cause trouble and get themselves tossed right back into prison, perhaps with nothing worse than a headache if they feel like it."

"So tell me," Wyatt said, leaning back against the wall. "How fares the resistance? What plots have you foiled today?"

He was desperate for information about the outside. Were people still fighting or had they all been killed or fled?

"More people have shockingly managed to stay alive this week than last week."

That was the safest way for Savannah to tell him that people were still fighting.

"Oooh, that's got to suck for you," Wyatt taunted her, glad for that tidbit. "I'm sure Her Pinkness is pissed."

It was a good thing that Savannah was far too good at keeping up illusions and locking away her emotions or she might have laughed at Wyatt's description of Umbridge.

"I'm not worried. I've done nothing that would make the Boss look at me with anything but pride."

God, she hoped that Wyatt would understand.
