Sneaky the House Elf was going about her usual daily dusting of the
spare rooms when she was startled by the presence of a woman in one
of them.
"Yes...I do believe this will do," said the woman, appraising the
room. With that, she started unpacking a rather large suitcase.
"Miss..." Sneaky began politely, unsure of what to say.
"Oh, sorry Sneaky, didn't see you there," the woman said, placing a
colorful collection of socks into one of the drawers, "This room
isn't taken by anyone, is it? I would hate to be in someone's room,
but I do love the view of the bay from the window in here. I've got
to keep my eye on it, you understand."
"Yes Miss," Sneaky said, not understanding at all, "I mean no Miss,
this room isn't taken, it is one of the spare rooms, but please
Miss, you are you?" Sneaky knew her Masters wouldn't be keen on
just anyone taking up residence in the Safe House.
"Sorry Sneaky, I don't suppose you would remember me," she put down
the orange duvet cover she had been spreading over the bed. "My
name is Risti, I developped a theory awhile back called SUNLIGHT
ULTRA."
Sneaky only nodded. She had a feeling that had something to do with
the MAGIC DISHWASHER that her Master's liked to play with, but she
didn't understand the details of that. "So now you are moving in?"
She asked. While she didn't understand theories and funny kitchen
appliances, she understood more people to clean up after.
"Yes, I am," Risti sounded as if she had just made up her mind. "I
could have before you know, but in all honesty, for all the fuss I
made over it, I wasn't sure if I really believed SUNLIGHT ULTRA. I
mean it was possible, but plausible? I wasn't sure. Then I read
OotP."
"Ewt-puh?" Sneaky muttered, even more confused, but Risti didn't
seem to hear her.
"There was just so much canon to support MD, as I'm sure you must
have overheard around here. Dumbledore was such a scheming man, and
Lupin!" Risti beamed, "It was so obvious that he was used to this.
Look at the way he interacted with Snape. No fist-fights there, no,
they'd gotten used to working together already. Surely, as an old
member of the Order, he had never really stopped working for
Dumbledore whenever Dumbledore needed help, and Dumbledore...Oh man,
I'm hoping that maybe by moving in here, I'll finally hear the
discussions of just how this new canon ties in with all the
Spymaster!Dumbledore theories." As Risti had been talking, she'd
been slowly adding the personal touches that would make the room her
own. The orange comforter, the big sqishy bean bag chair, and the
bookshelves lined with all her favorite books. Now however, she
stopped and looked back at Winky.
"I seem to remember that this house has tea. Would you be able to
get me a pot, and some milk and sugar?"
"Of course Risti! Tea right away!" Sneaky said as she rushed out,
glad to finally understand something.
