Saturday, May 7th 1977
The aftermath was horrendous, the wedding was in shambles. Rian and Raven were nowhere to be found and Rabastan had hoped that they were still alive. Luckily for himself he had escaped the onslaught of the Aurors with the help of Avona Giovanni. Opening up shields and weakening certain points to allow only a few of the Death-Eaters in from one side. Murder. For once Rabastan wasn't being looked at as a killer and finally after a month of preparations he could walk freely again. The ministry was looking for individuals who fled. Some students didn't come back to the castle after the wedding, and others had succumb to their injuries. It was definitely a grieving time for the Wizarding Community, but what else could they do? Forge on. Rabastan was certain that they needed to come together, both sides. But the likelihood of that would be slim to none. Riddle was missing.
Rab was more than certain that he wasn't going to be coming back to the school after a few name drops and a revealing. Luckily for him that was exactly what he needed. His role had just increased tenfold and walking that thin line was going to be just as difficult. Looking to the ministry Rab was hoping that he could somehow get re-enrolled at Hogwarts, but after an expulsion and jail time, maybe it wouldn't be so easy. He would have to build a case, but that was difficult since he was working his hands to the bone in Azkaban.
Something seemed off. Stepping through the wood, he could feel the world shifting beneath his feet with every step he managed to take. Rab stumbled a moment catching himself on the closest tree, chest tight as thoughts screamed through his mind. "Get it together you dolt." The words that came from his lips felt so distant that they weren't calming in the slightest. Rather than continuing on through the woods he found the closest stump and sat. Focusing on his breathing, focusing on the tick from the watch strapped around his left wrist. Anything to pull his mind from panic.``tag; OPEN
