[There is a rather ungainly thud as a figure lands, hard, on the ground. Pale trembling fingers sink into the soil to push the boy -- no more than sixteen -- onto his hands and knees. He is breathing heavily, a thin sheen of sweat covering his handsome face -- but that glint in his eyes shows a tremendous amount of life.

Thin lips purse together as the boy lifts his head, black hair falling into his eyes as he forces himself to look around his surroundings. One hand is curled around a thin piece of wood -- thirteen inches long, made of yew, to those that are truly paying attention -- and the boy pushes himself back to sit on his heels, laying the wand in the palm of his hand, dark eyes fixated upon it as he whispers:]


Point Me.

[The wand does not move. There is the slightest twitch in his cheek as the teenager hisses it again:]

Point --

[But from behind the teenager, there is a louder hiss -- a snarl, actually -- and Tom Marvolo Riddle twists his body around to stare at quite the large rabbit, which is baring his teeth towards the teenager in question. His eyes narrow and he raises his wand quickly, flicking it slightly with his right wrist.

But, again, nothing happens.

Tom's grip tightens on his wand and, this time, he adds the incantation, and with each spell, his voice becomes more and more of a feral snarl.]


Relashio! Stupefy! Impedimenta!

[The rabbit lunges. Tom instinctively lashes out with a hand, slamming his wand against the side of the animal, before diving for a rock -- which he brings squarely down upon the skull, killing the creature instantly.

The movements have Tom gasping for breath, though, and a pale hand presses against his chest, and he hisses:]


What did they do to me? Where is it, where is my --

[And his body convulses as he doubles over, arms finding his midsection as he retches.]

Yeah, you'd think so, but it's not.

I was within the halls of one of the most protected schools in all of history and now I'm in the middle of a wasteland with nothing but a telephone that should not exist and a rabid rabbit.

Explanation is warranted.

Unfortunately, there's not much I can give in the way of an explanation. The popular theory is that the spirits who fairly well run this place bring us here. They're called Animus.

This place certainly has an appreciation for simple Latin --

[Tom is furious and is lashing out at anything that seems stupid to him. Which apparently is the name of the Animus.]

[:| Harry is not going to rub at that damn scar. No he is not. It's going to tingle and burn and hurt like a bitch and he's going to IGNORE IT.]

I suppose you could put it that way.

Naturally --

[It's forced politeness -- even Tom is having difficulty when he's in pain.]

-- though I wish it were under different circumstances.

Naturally.

Is someone showing you where the clinic is?

Two children by the name of Ion and Negi, apparently.

I see. Well, hopefully, you'll be well soon. [Or you could do us a favor and die. Or go back home. Or both.]

[But, Harry, dying would ruin the point! Besides, he can only truly die if you do too. Prophecy and all that.]

That would depend on the quality of the care here -- but thank you for the well wishes.

You're welcome, of course.
