familiar places and faces. june 2025
GOING TO WORK LET ALONE, outside had definitely not been a priority for the Knox. Since the major news of Hags Fever and even the quarantine, Dana lived life on the edge. Luckily, her brother was home now and her mother was actually alive, sending owls whenever she felt like it. Luckily the woman was abroad and away from this chaos, but also…Dana wished she was here.
In need of entertainment, let alone groceries and things to snack on (mainly for herself), Dana left her home for the first time in what felt like forever, heading to Diagon Alley. With no set store to attend to first in mind — potentially Ollivanders, or their upcoming competition for a new wand — Dana hummed quietly to herself, smiling at how nice the British weather had become since chaos erupted.
There wasn’t the usual amount of people in the Alley like the Knox was used to, but she knew with time passing and others somewhat fearful of the fever, some sort of cure would be found soon enough and life would slowly return to normal. So it was somewhat nice to see a familiar face as the blonde walked, except she couldn’t pin where she knew the person from.@torrian & hopefully this works!

Hag's fever was something that many people feared. But since he had returned home, Torrian had begun working as a Dragon Keeper for the MacFusty reserve. Working with some of the most dangerous dragons in the area was defiantly an adrenaline high. The purpose of a keeper, was to make sure that the dragons were happy, healthy, they made sure they knew the offspring count, and most importantly never noticed by the creatures they protected. This was easy for Torrian, as long as he watched his step. But he needed a break.
Hag's Fever wasn't something that concerned Torrian. If he got it, he would just stay at home, calling on an apprentice healer that just so happened to be his friend. He wasn't one of hospitals. It was nice to be out and about, and this time, he had found his way to a familiar haunt back when he was younger. He walked down the cobblestone path as he reminisced coming just before school started. The hustle and bustle of the streets as everyone worked on getting everything on their list. His mother having to control a number of kids by her self as her father watched over the reserve. He smiled at the memories as he past stores that were so familiar to him. It was strange, to think that when summer came to an end, he wouldn't be returning to school. He had graduated. He had stopped to sit on a bench to watch the people pass by, waiting for inspiration to hit him. That was when he saw an old friend. A girl he knew from school. They weren't in the same house, but as a Hufflepuff, Torrian didn't discriminate, and he made friends with many people. He pulled out a camera from his pocket and held it up. This was one of his smaller film cameras. This one was enchanted, so it did not need electricity. Should he use the right potion to develop the film, the pictures would move. But he held the camera up to his face and snapped a picture of the girl.
As she walked up he gave a smile "Glad to see I'm not the only one out and about"

familiar places and faces. AT HAG’S FEVER FIRST ARRIVAL, Dana hadn’t been worried about it at all. But with the swipe and the amount of people affected in such a short time…Dana started caring a lot more, taking in consideration of the risks. So going out now was a challenge of her own. But with the familiar face in front of her, Dana wasn’t really surprised once he started speaking to her.
”Right? It’s nice to see you out as well…” She trailed off, hoping he would reveal his name and refresh her memory.

The only thing that Torrian feared about getting Hag' Fever, was the fact that he might end up needing to go to the hospital...again. Hospitals were not something he liked being close to. Luckily where he lived far enough from most civilization. Being in Diagon Alley was safe, because...well, no one was there.
It was nice to see someone that he knew, that wasn't family. He gave her a smile as she acknowledged him. Fiddling with his camera he stood up and snapped another picture, this time down the empty street. "So, what have you been up to these days?"

familiar places and faces. THE HOPE SHE HELD OUT for him to reveal his name…Did not arrive. It was fine for the Knox though, she knew how to make a conversation last most times anyway. She watched as the male propped up his camera, taking an image of the street and tilted her head to the side in confusion, a small smile on her face. ”Staying far far away from work and grocery shopping only when I need it…How about yourself?”

Torrian fiddled with camera, something that he always has in his hands. She stated that she had only gone out when necessary. The girl had the right idea. He was a very relaxed type of person, and he didn't want to take the pandemic seriously. But he did take it serious. This was mostly because he really wanted to avoid the hospital.
"Mostly just working at the family reserve, and this " He showed her his camera. "But it pays living in the Outer Hebrides. Defiantly less worry. How have you kept yourself sane?"

familiar places and faces. WATCHING WITH A GENTLE SMILE as he fidgeted with the camera, Dana’s eyes lifted to meet his again. Taking the pandemic seriously was the only thing Dana could do, considering her jobs closure for the time being and having an angry teenager in the home with her…What more could she do except provide food and entertainment for her younger brother? ”Family reserve?” Dana parroted, already curious. ”Sane…is the last word I would use to describe my family situation…My younger brother drives me insane and my colleagues…Well. They’re finally panicking silently..”

Torrian stopped fidgeting with his camera as the girl spoke. ”Family reserve?” He gave a little chuckle. "Yes, the MacFusty Dragon Reserve" He clarified. It was something that he guessed that he took for granted. She continued to explain how things hadn't been going too well for her. "Well, if you need a break, your always welcome in the Outer Hebrides. It's out of the way and quite peaceful there. The reserve is nice to visit...that is...if you don't mind a few dragons." He chuckled at his own joke. That could be considered lame, but he really didn't care what others though of him.

familiar places and faces. AT THE NAME ‘MACFUSTY’, THE realisation rushed through. It was Torrian! Dana was only a few years older than him, and if she was correct he was a Hufflepuff! She always got along well with Huffles. Nice people most of them were anyway. ”I haven’t…seen dragons in a long while so…I think they should be fine…” The blonde smiled, pushing some of her hair behind her ear. ”I appreciate the offer and while I wouldn’t mind…the peace and quiet…I’m currently in charge of a little teenager…” Her brother was…Something else at times, but with no Mother around — she had to act as the nurturing role.

She seemed to like his offer. It was his Hufflepuff nature coming out. He liked to have friends, and honestly, the country was a good way to get away from things. So he was happy when the girl seemed to like his offer.
”I appreciate the offer and while I wouldn’t mind…the peace and quiet…I’m currently in charge of a little teenager…” he shrugged "It's still there if you ever wanna come out, just let me know and I can show you around." He gave her a smile. He did have a younger sibling, but he never had to take care of the kid. Though his older siblings sometimes had to watch the younger ones. Those were the days they really had fun.

familiar places and faces. SMILING WIDE AT HIM, DANA was excited to see his family and even Torrian again. Getting out of the city, even just for a few days, had always been an option Dana wanted to take. But with Noah back in her life, work coming to a slight halt and her mother still gone for what felt like months on end...Dana felt more grounded in the city. The busy life was the only thing keeping her intact.
As he shrugged, replying with a soft notion to let him know if she ever wanted to pass on by, Dana nodded, smiling a little wider. "I'll be sure to send an owl your way if I ever need it." She adjusted her jacket slightly then and the bag over her shoulder and let out a soft sigh. "Stay safe okay?..I have to return back to that little teenager before he starts panicking."

While out of the way, the Outer Hebridesapart of the country, and had a very different atmosphere than the city of London. Though, it wasn't that long of a trip from the area. Torrian really did love to live out of the way, but still close enough to visit friends and favorite hot spots. His flying motorcycle really helped make travel easier.
Torrian worked at his family reserve. It wasn't exactly the safest place, but the Outer Hebrides as a hole had a nice charm to them. "I'll be sure to send an owl your way if I ever need it." she agreed and Torrian smiled "That's great" Many wizards were afraid of dragons, and for good reason. They weren't the easiest to be around. "Stay safe okay?..I have to return back to that little teenager before he starts panicking."
Torrian lifted a hand to wave good by. "You too, I hope to see you around" He gave the girl a friendly smile. Perhaps it was time that he made his way home too.
