TBAY: Moving Into the Safe House

[Risti]

No: HPFGUIDX 74977

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.
