The Inspection

On the whole, the weather had been temperamental lately. One minute, it was absolutely bucketing it down, and the next, it was bright sunshine. The amount of rain had turned the ground into a muddy mess, but at least the tents provided perfectly adequate shelter, and a gazebo had been erected over the community dining table to protect everyone from the elements.

Despite the temperamental weather, however, it had been fairly warm throughout the past two weeks, so the chill in the air during dinner that evening was particularly noticeable, even before the dark, hooded figure by the Ministry's representative's desk had been seen.

Nervously, the Ministry representative approached the table.

"I'm afraid we have a visitor," he said, addressing everyone at the table and hoping that anyone not there could hear him. "This is a Dementor, one of the Guards at Azkaban. It's a high security prison. He's just here to, well, ensure that a certain escaped criminal isn't hiding amongst you.

"I don't expect he'll be here for more than an half an hour, so do try not to worry too much. They can make people rather, well... uncomfortable."

Bowing his head slightly, he left the Outsiders to their meal.

[And so, a Dementor is lurking around the camp, just in case one of the Outsiders is secretly Sirius Black. They're known to sap the happiness out of the environment, and - in cases where there are true horrors in someone's past - cause traumatic memories to resurface.

The chilly, depressed feeling can be lifted by the deliciousness of chocolate, though the Outsiders will need to discover this on their own. Good thing there's dessert.

Why bother keeping them locked up in the prison with the criminals in the first place then, eh?

[Not that he disagrees, just curious.]

They're the bars to the prison. And maybe those inside the prison ain't good enough to eat any more.

So we get to be taste test samples? [Rubs his chin.] Maybe. But they're pretty brief for eating us, eh. And you said yourself, that squirrely government guy didn't seem too big on it either, so it clearly must have eaten him too a little.

We're adults. I'm more worried about those things latching onto a kid. Kids can be tough, but those things probably haven't had one in a long while.

[Shivers.] I'll keep an eye out for them.

Hopefully they haven't been through as many rough things so it won't hit them too hard, eh.

Hopefully, yeah. I just don't like the idea of those things floating around.

Can't say I'm much a fan either, but it could be worse. It's only one here. If they let them all loose, I'm willing to bet it'd be a hundred.
