@lestrange well this was a different scenario for him. here he was sitting in the three broomsticks when he worked at the hogshead. the two places? different. so different. the people in them, different. there was hardly any smiling and laughing happening in the hogs head, no students wandering around to make messes. he ran his hand through his hair. he'd go back to the other bar if he wasn't hoping to run into his sister. he folded his arms and leans back against the chair he was sitting on. he hadn't seen her while he'd been at the castle the other week so he figured she'd been hiding. he tapped his fingers on the table as he leaned forward and started to think this was pointless and that he was stupid for even trying to talk to andy. he knew she hated him. he knew why too but he couldn't change the past. he could only try and change her mind about the future. if she'd listen. if the longbottoms hadn't kept filling her head with fluff and turning her even more against her family. well him. his father, even nik had turned his back on. he gritted his teeth at the thought of his sisters being in that household. it wouldn't last long if he had any say. they weren't their family.

Well, it was a Hogsmeade day once again and Andy and Phil had been inseparable the whole time. Not in a PDA romantic way, no. They weren't even dating. No, they were trying to rekindle their best friendships and that took a lot of pranking each other and laughing loudly throughout the village with their other friends. As they burst into the three broomsticks with their fellow Gryffindors, Andy looked up with her bright smile which vanished at the sight of her brother. "Oh! I just remembered- I- erh- I have a surprise for you guys. Go away for a sec!" she lied quickly and hustled her friends out the door. She didn't hesitate to march straight toward her brothers table and slam a hand onto it. "Get out of here. Now." Well, that was a friendly welcome, wasn't it? Families that hate together stay together. @nikolaj (it wasn't elaines plan btw it was her contact outside of the schools plan she didn't know anything about it until it started happening

@lestrange well this would be interesting, he thought as he unfolded his arms from his chest and leaned them against the table as his sister came over to the table. "Get out of here. Now." he raised a brow and had to refrain from laughing. well his littlest sister had some fire after all, he had been starting to wonder. oh he knew she could bristle .. but this? the look in her eyes. well lets just say he'd enjoy the confrontation. the hint of a lagh bubbled from his chest and he put his hand over his mouth for a second to hide it, not bothering to hide the amused smirk. "you and what army is going to make me .. but while i've got you here" he waved his fingers at an empty chair and had it slide across the floor quickly to hit the back of andy's knees, trying to force her to sit down. "take a seat"

She wasn’t surprised that he was smiling, he was sick and twisted. He probably loved seeing her anger, her flushed face, hearing her pounding heartbeat. At the mention of her army she widened her eyes, mostly in anger at herself that she had shooed her friends away. But… she didn’t want them to see him. Suddenly she was being knocking into a chair. She tried to stand, but the chair wouldn’t move from out under the table. ”Nik, I swear if you don’t-” she stopped. She knew this game. There was no reason in arguing. She sighed, ”what do you want, then?” may as well get this over with. @nikolaj

@lestrange ”Nik, I swear if you don’t-” he tiled his head and tried to look confused. "why the hostility andy? all i want to do is talk." he said with an almost not smirk. he straightened his head and leaned his arms down on the table and he shrugged a little. he knew why she was mad at him but in his mind it wasn't a justified anger. he'd never done anything to her. nothing too bad anyway. ”what do you want, then?” there was no point in avoiding why he was there. he wanted his sisters back in his life and back with their family. well not their family but him. they were his kin and he felt like he should be the one taking care of them. "for you and rory to ditch the leaky cauldron and come live with me." he said, not a hint of kidding on his face.

As he said what he wanted from her, Andy's jaw dropped and her eyes widened momentarily. Then she rolled her eyes and leaned forward, talking in a hushed and harsh tone. "Like hell I'll ever go with you. Rory wouldn't either. We're happy there. We have a real family now," her voice cracked a little on the last part, the part about a real family. Though, Andy couldn't really speak for Rory... she wasn't entirely sure how her sister felt about Nik but she wasn't going to give him the benefit of the doubt. "I love them, Nikolaj. I love them," she repeated, her eyes getting misty at the words and her hands starting to shake. She could feel herself losing her temper and she did not want that to happen... @nikolaj

@lestrange "Like hell I'll ever go with you. Rory wouldn't either. We're happy there. We have a real family now," nick couldn't help but smirk and tilt his head a little to the side. his littlest sister didn't sound to sure of herself and he knew different than her. rory had different loyalties than andy did, she should have known that by now. "you might want to think again about where rory's loyalty lies andy" he said with an almost dark chuckle at the end. he had a feeling she'd figure out quite quickly that there was every chance rory would leave her for him. "I love them, Nikolaj. I love them," he saw the misty in her eyes and was quite perplexed about that. she loved them? because they had shown her pity? he studied her for a moment, his cold eyes searching hers and he shook his head slightly. "are you sure they all feel the same? i mean think about it .. lestrange .. it's not a name those people want to associate with. i'm guessing they've shown you pity though. think about it andy .. it's easy to mistake for affection"

Andys hands were shaking more than ever now, and her wand was shuddering in her pocket. She had to control herself. She had to breath. She tried, in through her nose and out through her mouth. Rory could do what she wanted, Andy woudln't care. At least, that's what she was telling herself. She brushed off that comment, choosing not to comment on it right now. And that laugh... that dark sound that came out of him made her hair stand on end. This was it. She wasn't going to make it through this much longer before something bad would happen. And then, he did the worst possible thing. He was trying to convince her that the Longbottoms pitied her, not loved her. Her eyes misted even more at his words and her lip quivered. She didn't have to listen to this. "Then I'll change my name!" she yelled, and several people glanced toward them. She shrunk into her seat a little more and spat her next words out at him. "I don't want anything to do with mum, dad or you." Her tears were falling now, and her glare was intense, "I hate you."@nikolaj (okay, @philiplongbottom , come back and rescue me any time. Read my first post though because i mentioned Phil in it XD)

@lestrange he could see it. the anger behind the tears that were pooling in her eyes, saw the shake in her hands and he knew he had struck more than one nerve in her somewhat fragile mind. it would always be easy to place doubts in her mind, to make her second guess things. then he knew he had done it. when the lip quivered. he'd placed enough doubt in her mind that it wouldn't stop with this conversation. no matter what they said to her he wondered if she'd always doubt it. "Then I'll change my name!" he almost laughed at her again but thought different of it this time so he just allowed the dark smirk on his face to grow as he shifted in the seat, his hand waving slightly to try and pin the chair closer to the table so she had his full attention. she had already said no to coming to stay with him so what was the point in trying to keep her on side right now. he had patience, he could wait. he would wait. sooner or later he knew this was a conversation they'd be having again. "you can change your name if you like andy. it doesn't change the blood that pumps through your veins .. the legacy that you carry with you .. people won't forget that. names give you a label .. but your blood defines you" he said as he rose from the chair he was sitting in and leaned his hands down on the table in order to lower his head a little closer to hers. "I don't want anything to do with mum, dad or you." "I hate you." and now she was glaring. looking like a little kid who hadn't gotten her own way. "you think you're so different? i can see it andy .. the anger .. how much you want to curse me .. we're not that different you know. that's our father in you. you're just like a kid playing pretend." he moved to straighten up. "you'll see. one day they'll turn their backs on you. you aren't their blood andy. they won't risk the safety of their own children for you" okay so now he was going to try and have a little fun with her. the thinly veiled threat in his words a way to try and bait her into biting harder.

@lestrange @nikolaj Their friends had all followed Andy's instructions, leaving out the way they had come. Phil, who knew the tone of her voice couldn't be any surprise, decided to stay in the building, taking a seat near the door where he could see most of the place. The instant the door closed behind their friends, Andy stormed toward a man sitting at a table. She did not look like she was getting ready for a surprise. As he watched he noticed little things. The man had some of the same mannerisms that Andy did and he looked similar. The longer he stared the more he saw until he realized that this was Andy's older brother. He had graduated a few years before and Phil had always steered clear of him, but the resemblance was there. A pit dropped in Phil's stomach. This meeting was not going to go well, she hated her family (minus Rory). Just as he was realizing this Andy's voice rang out through the restaurant. "Then I'll change my name!" she yelled. He didn't know what was being said, but if Andy was reacting like that... He stood up and made his way around the tables, moving slowly at first. "you'll see, one day they'll turn their backs on you." Who did this guy think he was? A now familiar anger flowed through Phil's veins, this conversation was over. Then he looked at Andy, and his anger softened into protection. She was fighting against some pretty deep instincts, and doing rather well considering the piece of the conversation he caught. "Andy, there you are." he put his hand on her shoulder, stepping right next to her chair, glaring at her brother. "Weren't we going over to the Wheezes?" He didn't want to overstep any boundaries, but he also didn't think he and Andy had many of those anymore.

Andy gritted her teeth as her brother spoke, her blood boiling even more by the second. She felt a sudden heat on her leg and knew that her wand was giving off sparks, just begging to be called into action. Finally, as he talked about how their father was in her, Andy closed her eyes, turning away from him, trying to drown out the sound of his voice. "you'll see. one day they'll turn their backs on you. you aren't their blood andy. they won't risk the safety of their own children for you..." Andy shook her head, trying to ignore every word even though every word sunk into her core. She was her father, at least a part of her was. She knew that. She had almost hurt Albus because of that. She had shut off her emotions for years because of that. But now, finally, when she was finding some resemblance of peace Nik had to show up and remind her of all her worst fears. As she closed her eyes tight she suddenly was picturing Phil, and what would happen if she snapped. She couldn't hurt him. She'd never do that. At the thought of him she was suddenly able to start breathing slowly, a small smile crept on her fact and then she heard his voice.She opened her eyes, whipping around to make eye contact with the blonde. "Phil," she choked out. "Yeah, yeah we were," she wanted to reach for him, stand up, but she was still stuck to the chair. @philiplongbottom @nikolaj

@lestrange && @philiplongbottom and then came a blond headed monkey. longbottom. well if there was going to be an audience, it should at least be someone who could take it back to the people andy was staying with. he had little doubt that was where they would go after this. this situation was far from over and he knew it, he just hoped andy did as well. he stepped out from around the chair he had been sitting in and slowly slid it back under, the wood scraping against the floor and he fixed andy a look. "good luck getting out of that chair. i figure it'll take you a while to work it out .." he said with a smirk as he looked back up at phil and raised a brow at the glare. "my don't we look angry. give my regards to your brother will you?" nik said as he folded his hands behind his back and took a step toward the door. "i hear he's better .. well for now at least" he said as a cruel smile slipped back onto his face and his gaze shifted to andy as he walked away. "i'll see you again soon little sister"

@lestrange @nikolaj From the tone of Andy's voice, he had come at just the right moment. Squeezing his hand on her shoulder to tell her he wasn't going anywhere, he didnt' break eye contact with her brother. The way he talked made Phil's skin crawl. Who did this guy think gave him the right to speak to Andy that way? "Give my regards to your brother. I hear he's better...well for now at least." The comment made Phil's jaw clench and his eyes go wide. He was threatening Jayden! Inching his hand toward his wand, his hand on Andy's shoulder tighter now, he intensified his glare, wishing that looks could kill. Then Nikloaj was walking away, having broken eye contact at the last moment. For a moment, Phil considered going after him, knocking him out and dragging him to the greenhouse where his dad kept the really dangerous plants. If he got a few broken bones before they got there, well Phil wasn't going to complain. But he was here for Andy. Andy needed him. Focus on her.

Mentioning Jayden made Andy's stomach turn and her anger bubble up again for another moment. She half expected Phil to go after him, even half hoped him to. But then, when he was gone, she was grateful to have Phil right beside her. "Phil, he- I'm stuck," she said, her voice slightly panicked. Soon, but embarrassingly not soon enough, with the help of a few others nearby, they came out with a counter spell and Andy pushed away from the table and stood, taking several steps back as if there was a bees nest underneath it. She breathed deeply once before turning to Phil and throwing her arms around him, not caring if she was making a scene. She let herself start to cry then and she was shaking so badly she wasn't sure if she could stand. Instead, she kept all her weight against Phil. "Thank you for coming back," she said, trying to calm down her breathing.
She turned her face into Phil's neck, focusing on the way he felt, smelled, sounded... she felt herself slowly start to calm down a little, but still not enough to enjoy the rest of the day. "What are we going to do?" she asked, arms still tightly wrapped around his neck and shoulders.
@philiplongbottom (maybe one more post of phil suggesting they go to Neville?)

@lestrange "We'll figure it out, don't worry." He promised, even as he wracked his brain for a spell or something that would get her unstuck. After trying several spells himself, to no avail, he went to ask someone at a neighboring table to help. It took just a few minutes for Andy to push away from the table and scramble back as if she had been bitten by something. Then she turned on him, threw her arms around his neck and began to cry. He wrapped his arms around her waist, one hand rubbing her back slowly, in a comforting motion. The people who had come to help moved, a little awkwardly, back to their tables trying to not stare at the couple. "Of course, I'll always come back." he responded to her thanks. His hand moved up to her head, holding her close. After a few moments, her breathing calmed a little and then the same worry had been thinking about came from her lips. "I think, maybe... maybe we should talk to my dad."He said into her hair. Pulling back so he could look at her face, but still support her, he smiled a little. They could make this turn into something good. Together. [The End]
