Bast was more than happy to move on to another subject. Trying to figure out all that was giving him a mild headache.
"The monsters, Harry Potter. There's all sorts of them. People say that they see huge bugs or cats. There's spiders the side of the hallway and a Dementor. There's all sorts of nasty things out at night. Come on."
Bast headed towards the bulletin board, pointing out Renji's warning to the other wizard.
"See? We go back to our rooms for dinner, and then all the lights go out. When they do, the doors unlock, and we can wander the hallways, but there are all sorts of monsters out there, ones that eat people or tear them up. Look around at the other patients. They didn't get those bruises, broken bones, or hurt places from the nurses or doctors. The monsters got them."
Bast sighed, touching the wand stashed up his sleeve for comfort.
"Severus was here, but he's gone now, I think. So is Raistlin and maybe Yazoo. I've been here an awfully long time, Harry Potter, and most people vanish in the night or get killed. Lots of them. Sometimes they take people, make them think everyone is the enemy, and set them loose so that they kill or hurt the other patients. Other nights, they take patients and do terrible things to them like torture and stuff. They always call the false name then. Mine is Stephen King, not Rabastan Lestrange."
He glanced at Renji's written warning again, thin fingers smoothing it out and the little pinned up replies beneath it.
"You have to be careful, Harry Potter. You do have your wand, don't you?"
