The entire audience looked shocked at the information of Cathy creating an entire island out of Chaos magic. Many people were looking at her in surprise and were all wondering about her gift. The idea that she could create an entire island out of magic was something that just didn’t seem possible.

The scene begins with an empty street that was well lit with the lights of the street posts and from the businesses that were closed but still had their signs on. The entire block was wet from rain that had passed. The sounds of footsteps that connected with the wet ground were heard until the shoes of Cathy and Regulus were seen as they walked through the street.

Regulus had a bit of a stubble growing on his face as he snacked on a cupcake. Cathy, walking next to him, was wearing a beanie and a hood over her head, was eating a sausage roll as the pair continue to walk.

“Oh, I’d love a sausage roll.” Cathy said as she snacked on some popcorn.

“Explain to me again why we could just wait until morning to buy these?”  Regulus asked. “I’m sure they’d still be there in the morning.”

“I like it when they’re still fresh.” Cathy said taking a bite and huffing and puffing trying to cool the hot food in her mouth.

Regulus nodded and looked around at all the shops. “I sometimes am amazed by the way muggles have pushed their civilizations forward. It’s nothing short of magical if you think about how they accomplished all this without magic.”

“It really is.” Arthur Weasley agreed.

“Ironic, isn’t it?” Cathy smiled. “I find it rather soothing to be with them.”

“The muggles?” Cathy nodded. “Why?”

“Most of them have no idea about the war and all the people dying. Hearing their worries and thoughts about their mundane problems just helps bring things into focus for me if I’m having a bad day. Reminds me of what we’re fight for.”

“Must be nice.” Regulus noted. “To be able to get out of your own head and into someone else’s for a change.”

“It is and it isn’t.” Cathy said.

“What do you mean?”

“That’s sort of the territory that comes with being a Legilimens.” Cathy shrugged. “We constantly having to deal with the thoughts and emotions of others regardless of whether or not we want to.”

Fleamont rubbed his daughters’ shoulder.

“That does sound challenging.” Regulus nodded.

“It does have it’s perks.” Cathy informed. “Growing up hearing the thoughts of everyone around me, I see things through their eyes and I can see all the ways everyone is different. But I also see what makes us all the same.”
