Flame Cottage

Anthony nods. "Yes again."

I'll be perfectly frank with you, I don't know what to think. On the one hand, you essentially stole my mother, but on the other you're a good father to my friend and half sister...

OOC Response will be slower now

OOC: Ok.

IC: He grimaces. "I understand. I know I was wrong to do it, but... Have you ever been in love, Artemis? It's not something you can easily forget."

Yes, I currently am with someone...

-More or less...-

"I didn't know that she was with someone else at first, let alone that she had three sons... If I'd known I... I don't know. I truly am sorry though, about everything I've put you through because of my ignorance. But by the time I'd found out, I just couldn't imagine life without Karen..."

Ooc sorry that took so long

Ic

I understand why you did it, and from what I've seen and heard, you're a great father to Phoenix and Hazel. I bare you no grudge

OOC: No problem

IC: "I know I can't be Arthur, but like Karen, I'm willing to be there for you and your brothers if you want."

-I think for a few moments and can't feel but feel a little angry at the idea of my father being replaced, but I reason with myself that this is unfounded.-

I'd have to talk with my brothers before anything like that can happen

He nods. "Take all the time you need. I understand."

-I nod my head- Thank you, for your offer, your honesty and being a good father for my half sister

"I owe all of you that much. Especially Phoenix... After all that's happened to her, especially because of Greyback, how could I not want the best for her?" He sighs. "I'm glad such a nice guy like you is her brother. She's always been the eldest, even when Pixie came back..."

I've always thought of her a sister. She's my best friend and she does deserve the best, ill try to provide her with Wolfsbane potion as well

"Thank you. Despite what Dumbledore said, I don't trust Snape. Never have, never will. There's just something about him..." He shrugs. "Never mind."

Oh and when I tell my brothers about this, would you mind if our two families met? Hazel doesn't have to be told yet but it would be easier that way

"Of course!" He smiles. "I'm sure the girls would like to meet them as well."

-I nod my head- Then it's decided. Now we should return. Sorry to bring this upon you after your daughter just got free from Azkaban

"It's honestly no problem. I'm just glad it wasn't the same as last time."

I wish I could've done more last time...

His expression hardens. "Phoenix told me what really happened. It was that Lestrange boy's fault for using her as an excuse."

-I nod my head- Death Eaters seem to have a proclivity for making others into their scapegoats.

"Indeed... Whoever's in the right place at the right time..."

Disgusting... but that aside, thank you again for being honest

He waves his hand. "It's fine. I've never aimed to be a bad person, unlike the DE."

I don't think you'll have to have another worry about them at Hogwarts, just recently Phoenix and I took down the Head Death Eater at Hogwarts

"You did? Well, congratulations! That's absolutely wonderful!"
