 New timeline, post-War...
Jane had gone to Hogwarts, arriving at the end of the battle, found her former pupil and made sure of her safety, and, surprisingly, had a fairly civil conversation with her erstwhile employer, Ignatius Blackthorne. She did what little she could there, and then had returned to the Ministry.
Now she was here in the Death Chamber, because she had one last thing to do. She had been here a year, but never yet ventured onto the platform and stood next to the notorious curtain. She'd been afraid of what, or who, she might hear.
Now she sat there right next to it, just close enough. From her small bag, she took a thermos of tea, which she poured into a small, collapsible teacup. She raised it toward the curtain in a salute, took a sip, then leaned in toward the curtain, listening intently to the soft noises, like whisperings, that came from beyond. If you listened very closely, you might hear her murmur, "Doctor?...Are you there somewhere?...you wouldn't believe what's been going on....."
