Mapping the Interior
#42
In the beat that passed before Lestrange answered Ford had enough time to regret asking, but also to wonder at half a dozen things that might have happened, or that Lestrange might be thinking, or things he might say in response. When he did reply, though, Ford was caught off- balance by his words. He'd never dealt with a request like that before, but he wasn't going to refuse; there was something desperate and flighty and panicked about his tone that made it clear he needed this, even if it was weird.

"Yeah, okay, sure," Ford agreed quickly. He looked around for a spot to set the wine bottle down and found a level-ish rock to rest it on. He couldn't have really said why he thought he might need his hands free. What was he expecting Lestrange to do, fall over? Well — actually, given the way he looked at the moment, it wasn't impossible. Ford didn't regret ditching the wine, at any rate; clearly neither of them needed it at the moment.

"They've, uhm. They've probably got something set up against the outside walls of the house they can use to make some noises. Sudden bangs, probably, or maybe something else if they're clever, like a howling sound or voices that are almost covered by the wind. They might have a few things set up inside to make noises, too, like a piano that plays itself at midnight or a victrola in a hidden closet. With that whole story they told us about the mother I'm sure they'll have a noose somewhere. Maybe just out, so we can find it, or maybe they'll have it rigged to drop down or swing out into a hallway when we walk by."

Was this what Lestrange wanted? Ford could not really imagine it was helping, but he didn't want to stop in case it was. He wracked his brain for other things he'd seen done or even heard of in the past. He didn't really know what the Muggles were going to do tonight (that was the whole fun of it, wasn't it?) but suspected Lestrange was less interested in practical specifics, given the way he'd asked, and more interested in just hearing a voice to focus on.

"Footprints in the hallway, I bet. Wet ones from the kid who drowned or muddy ones from the wolf killing or maybe blood, but probably not. It's harder to make it look real, if it's blood, and it's harder to clean without magic, too. Here — come this way," he suggested, with a gesture towards the nearest copse of trees. It might help to get out of the wind a bit, he thought, or it might help just to move. He held out a hand for Lestrange, not because the ground was particularly treacherous here but rather because Ford suspected he might need it all the same.
