[/justify][/SIZE][/FONT]She'd been in her apartment the entire day, writing up her column for next week's deadline. She'd been struggling with it. Even after all those little jobs with different news papers, her job at the Daily Prophet had been the most difficult one by far. And now that the Death Eaters had taken over, it was even more of a challenge. Cath was still working there, despite the fact that she was neutral in the war between the Dark Lord and the Order of the Phoenix. She didn't want to mingle in a war that wasn't her own, but in the mean time, she did find some difficulties with her boss. There was no such thing as Journalistic freedom within the Daily Prophet, not anymore at least.. Every word she wrote was checked and double checked on hidden messages, there could be no statements in her texts that really said what the Death Eaters were doing. It had been made clear to her that if she wrote one toe out of line, she would be dismissed, or worse killed because she didn't support the war'. So, she kept herself at bay, doing exactly what the Prophet asked of her, yet making her own views on the subject, becoming more and more convinced that the exact opposite of what the Dark Lord said was true. Of course, she would not say these words out loud. She wasn't stupid.
Thus, finally the first rough draft of her advice column had been written out. It had been one of those fourteen in a dozen. Girl broke up with boy, wants to know if she should get him back or not because she missed him and the sex was great. Cath had written up almost a billion of those, along with some about fashion and shoes and food. And luckily for her, only a few had been about what to do when your lover was a muggleborn and you had to leave him because you believed in the Dark Lord’s views. That had been the first thing she had written in which she just couldn't put her effort in. She had to write what her boss wanted to see, to dump the bastard cause he was not good enough for purebloods like her, but while she had written those words, she felt horrible, because for the first time she had written something she didn't believe in.
So now, she needed something to get her mind of things, to stop thinking about the column and how the hell she was going to keep her head above the water if the her boss decided to dismiss her after all. Gathering up her cloak and shutting her typewrite down, she left her apartment, apparating straightly into Hogsmeade. The town was less busy than usual, probably because the night had already fallen and a soft drizzle was falling over the cobbled street. Closing the cloak faster around her slim body, Catherina stepped towards the Three Broomsticks. The light was shining through on the streets and as she walked in, she felt the warmth of the fire upon her body...
She found herself a table, after ordering an old-fashioned butterbeer with Cinnamon. The taste brought her back to her years in Hogwarts, when she came here during weekends, sneaking out with some of her friends to get their first tastes of alcohol. She missed it, the time when nothing was complicated, when love was something you didn't think about, it just happened. When she could do whatever she wanted without baring the consequences, when things like the Death Eaters and the Order and Death Eaters were not something she needed to worry about.
