who: frank & open where: diagon alley

working large events like the one going on this week still made frank more nervous than most of the younger kids on his team. it was an important day, having such large numbers of people who felt ( or likely still feel ) so strongly about the views of either side of the war crowding onto the streets together like this felt like it was asking for bad news. but perhaps that was just old thoughts refusing to vacate the permanent spot they had taken in the forefront of his mind. 

he had been placed on extra shifts all week, and while he would much rather be spending time with alice and neville, he knew it was important to have more aurors out and about than usual this week. it was one of the first days in over a year he felt any form of job satisfaction but again, that was probably due to the inability to shake his fears from the war, even four years later to the day. 

that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to join the celebrations. frank had left to change the second his replacement showed up- a young kid, new to the program and likely still in training who seemed to not have a full grasp on what today really meant judging by the smell of firewhiskey lingering behind them. although frank shouldn’t judge, he very much planned on getting a drink in his system as soon as possible. he only made it a quarter way down the block before running into a familiar face and stopped, shaking his head as he looked back towards the direction he had just left. 

“do kids look that much younger these days or are we just that old?”
