Crouch Mansion

smiles and pulls out white knight- You were this. You always pulled through for me in the end.

-Smiles and laughs- I can't believe you kept it...

-Pulls out Black Bishop- But then again, who am I to talk?

But how was I your white knight back when we first met? Before I could hardly form a sentence around you... and I was terrified of Ministry kids... before I got a, and forgive me of this horrid pun, a backbone...

You hung out with me...-smiles- even though you didn't talk much..it was still nice..you stuck around...-

Well... my sticking around didn't do you too much good in the end did it? But who knows, maybe with our two minor corrections, Alexis and Elena can meet...

smiles- We'll see....


Elena: throws off invisibilty cloak and starts to climb on Crouch to sit on his lap-

Liria: Elena don't bug him!

Elena: He likes it- smiles up at Crouch

Crouch: -Smirks a bit- Okay kid... you've made your point...

Alexis: -Walks out- Hey Dad, did you tell her everything?

Crouch: -Smiles- Pretty much sweetie...

Alexis: Oh Hey Elena, I didn't know you were here!

OOC This is fun! lol

IC Liria: How did you convince Amy to bring her?

Elena: Hey!

Liria: sighs- I'm still surprised that Amy will allow Elena to come once in a while..me on the other hand..

Crouch: -Smiles- Well, you see... even without legs and my magic taken a massive blow, my powers of persuasion are as infallible as ever... Besides, while it may take her a LLLOOOOONNNGGGG time to get over a grudge, she knows you're a good friend of mine and Elena is a friend of Alexis so... yeah you can connect the dots...

Alexis: Hogwarts starts soon you know! -Small semblance of a crazy grin- I can't wait for the sorting hat to put me in Slytherin, just like Mom and Dad!

What house do you want?

Liria: smiles-

Alexis: Slytherin..like my dad

Liria: Good choice.

Alexis: I wonder which house Arthur will get sorted into

Liria: probably Gryffindor-smiles-

Crouch: Let me tell you, Elena, how your father ever got into Slytherin is a mystery I will never solve...

Alexis: Gryffindor... -blah- Who wants to be in THAT House?

Crouch: Hero types, sweetie... hero types...

Elena: Slytherin sounds nice..I can do whatever I want

Liria: coughs-

Elena: sighs- Or...what the code will allow...

Liria: sighs- Sorry..you know how it is...

Elena: Yeah..So glad you convinced Dad to let me know my REAL name.

Crouch: -laughs- Still following that inane set of rules is he?

Alexis: -Scoffs, small crazy grin- Who needs rules? If you can do something, you have the right to do it. Come on Elena, just have some fun....

Crouch: Just be careful now Alexis, remember, I'm still technically "missing" so don't let the know anything about where we are.

Alexis: -sighs- I know dad... it's just so hard not to brag about you...

Liria: So basically it's only me that still knows.

Elena: sighs- I'll get kicked out of the family

Liria: -groans- Elena and I know how to keep a secret.

Elena: Yeah..dad doesn't know that WE know where you are.

Alexis: That isn't true, Aunt River knows too...

Crouch: So the Strayer oppression continues does it? Last I heard, the Rat was trying to reform things...I mean he even lessened the penalty for killing last I heard...

Liria: smiles- Yeah..he knows that it isn't bad

Elena: sighs-

OOC GTG Try to be on later

OOC Okay! Bye

Alexis: C'mon Elena... being so uptight isn't good for you... you have to loosen up and have fun!

Crouch: Yeah... if they deserve it...

Elena: I would Love to take you up on that..but my Dad..

OOC Wouldn't it be funny if future Artemis came in?

IC

Alexis: Oh come on, your dads too boring! My dad is fun! Dad could we adopt Elena?! Teach her how to have fun?

Crouch: I'm afraid we can't do that Alexis...

OOC shudders at the thought- No. that would be horrible

Liria: Smile- You are Elena's godfather Crouch.

Elena: Yep. Was Dad happy about that?

Liria: He didn't say anything...

Alexis: -Eyes widen- Really dad? I had no idea...

Crouch: Yes, Alexis...

Alexis: So this makes us god sisters than Elena!

Crouch: -Smirks a bit-

Elena: Yep!- smiles-

Liria: sighs- I hope past me succeeds...Well...actually past me is probably going to smack you again -smirks- I hope with a hard book

Crouch: -Laughs a bit- Well then, I'm glad I'm crippled now so you can't do it to me...

Alexis: -Small crazy grin- Not to mention I wouldn't let you...

Liria: smiles at Alexis- Don't worry I wouldn't NOW...-looks thoughtful- You know past me is going to stalk you now..I'm going to try and prevent this from happening..

Elena: Mama do you think you can?

Liria: sighs- depends on how stubborn I am...and how Crouch reacts to me following him like some guard..-smiles-

Crouch: I already told her, she can't prevent it... of course I know she won't listen to me... and besides, if I can escape your husband, the head of the auror office, I doubt past you will give past me any problems...

Alexis: But dad, wouldn't you like to have your legs back?

Crouch: I would, but there are some things you have to accept, sweetie...

Liria: stubborness forms on my face- I'm gonnna try
