And yet this lake, for all of Milliways' noisy multiversal chaos, has its own kind of midnight peace.
(and I shall have some peace there)
They're almost to the rock now, a wide boulder with a flat weathered top. It might have been a glacial deposit, if Milliways had normal geology; perhaps, in the Scotland of Hogwarts, it is. River settles silently onto it, pulling her legs to her chest with her skirt tucked around them against the cold.
