chamberofsnogsOra sipped her tea quietly, her thoughts clouded with worry. She'd dropped off her cat and her trunk at the Twins's flat, figuring it was the best, if not only place to leave it if she was going to catch up with Alison and the rest of her friends before boarding the Hogwarts Express.
The small teashop on Diagon Alley was subdued this early in the day, though perhaps part of it was the spillover from the furtive fear which seemed to permeate all of Wizarding London. Florian Fortescue's was still boarded up and Ollivander's was dark and silent, its owner missing. Various other shops were in a similar state, and it was nearly impossible for Ora to walk a few paces without seeing some shop she had once loved to visit completely abandoned.
The copy of today's Daily Prophet lay before her and she read it over and over again, hardly believing her eyes.
Severus Snape, long-standing Potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was today appointed headmaster in the most important of several staffing changes at the ancient school.

Ora looked up from the newspaper, full of dread. "Is this good news," she asked hopefully, "or bad news?"
