The father was sitting outside, in the hall, with his face in his hands. His hair hadn't been washed in nearly four days, the time he'd been sitting outside the bedroom, waiting. His bloodshot eyes told more than any of his words ever could. He'd just discovered his family's shame, and he had to fight the urge to vomit. Just within the room, the midwife cast a pity-filled glance to the bundle before her, her thick, meaty arms crossed over her broad chest. Reaching back to undo the tight knot behind her head, her greasy hair fell in gentle waves over her shoulders. Shrugging heavily, she looked to the mother, and decided it best not to reveal the truth, not just yet. "... a healthy, baby boy, Mrs. Reinslate." Eleven Years Later Buggo Reinslate smiled lightly out the mist-covered window as the train rushed past another cluster of trees, a flock of birds calmly circling around a glassy lake that had settled peacefully in the distance. His face, slightly off, showed the truth. He was perhaps the first of his kind to be born with the condition, but looking at him, one couldn't help but smile. His eyes lacked the same glimmer as those of the other students, who had chosen to abandon his booth, leaving him in that subtle isolation he had known his entire life. The Hogwarts Express let off a few blows of its whistle as it arrived at Hogsmeade, delivering its precious cargo safely home. |
