Title: Underground
Author:

Rating: PG-13.
Length: (4,331)
Summary: During Deathly Hallows, Charlie holds the defences.
Warnings: None.
Author's note/Disclaimer: Omniocular's August Challenge #93: ‘What was Charlie doing this entire book?’; This is absurdly late and I'm almost embarrassed to tell them I finally completed it. Characters and such, obviously not mine.
( Look relaxed. You have your passes - and you all know how to use them. Keep your wands accessible, but hidden. If it comes to a fight, stunning and disarming spells are going to be useful, but try to look completely Muggle - your life may depend upon you embracing your past. )
Note. Anyone who is a native Londoner, or someone who knows London well, I'd love verification on the ticketing for the Underground. Historical ticketing practises, actually. HP-Lexicon places the final battle in May 1998, so this story spans 1997 - 1998. From what I can tell, Oyster cards (although used in the film version of Order of the Phoenix) weren't issued to the public until 2003. From best I can tell, prior to that point Annual Travelcards - as well as one day, monthly, etc - were what were used to calculate fares. Since I didn't visit London until last year, and we just used Oyster cards, I'd love to know if anything doesn't mesh.
