ASKING FOR HELP WAS FAR from the kind of phrase Idele Vector would use. It felt like begging almost. Being confined to her house for a small fraction of the summer break, she had to seemingly beg her mother for some freedom. But it came at a cost. To continue studying no less, as her mother would never settle for less.

Of course, Idele had her ways around this, especially since her brother was a professor at LIFE, where the younger Vector would be attending the following year for her NEWTs. So with permission granted, Idele was free...for a few hours that day.

She had arranged to meet for lunch and tutoring alongside her older brother, and as she walked through the streets the redhead realised she was running late.

Archie had been quite pleased to hear from his youngest sister. The youngest Vectors were well on their way to their final years of school, which only reminded Archie of his age. It felt like yesterday he had been preparing for his sixth year, waiting for his father to drop by so Archie could remind him of the prefect badge he wore and his position on the Quidditch team. Not that Octavian Sr ever listened, as he was always focused on his next target instead. At least in this regard, Archie always felt conscious of how he responded to his siblings. As the eldest, he felt a duty to fill in where their father had failed. Or at least to the best of his ability, given his stepmother’s antics.

He took a seat, a coffee floating neatly in place before him. The agreed-upon time had passed, but only by a mere few minutes. If anything, Archie had arrived a bit early. But he never worried about such things. Better late than never, he always thought. Though his father could hardly manage that in the best of times. Peering into the light crowd, he spotted the small figure and red hair. Casually, he waved a hand to catch her attention. Archie had been eighteen when the triplets were born, but he tried his best not to let the age gap create a distance between them.

PICKING UP HER PACE, IDELE Vector arrived fairly quickly and a little out of breath. Pushing open the doors, Idele grinned and waved in the direction of her older brother once she caught sight of him. A coffee was floating in his direction, landing perfectly neatly in front of him.

Taking the time to approach him, Idele began to shrug off the thin cardigan she was wearing, placing her bag down in the chair across from him also. "Hi-Sorry!..I'm not too late am I?" She began, taking a seat and adjusting her bright red hair. "Mum was fussing again as I was leaving and Midge was being a nuisance..You know about Midge right?.." Only just the worst house elf known in the history of elves.

In the back of his mind, Archie wondered if dear Harmony knew where her daughter was. It was easy to think such petty thoughts, and he would force them away every time they popped into Archie’s mind. The last thing he wanted was for his siblings to be used as pawns in this family. He never wanted them to feel what he had felt at the hands of their father, though, unfortunately, he’d been too young to help Nova with that one.

”Not at all.” He assured his younger sister. ”Would you like some tea or anything?” He offered, trying not to make a face at the mention of Midge. ”Yes…we’ve met.” Harmony had her house elves treat Archie much the same as herself. He tried not to mind, but as long as the triplets were his students—there wasn’t much of a choice but to deal with his stepmother occasionally. ”Are your brothers also taking their NEWTs?” Archie wondered. Leonhard was still a concern—appearing more and more to take after their father more than Alan, who was much like his sister.

FEELING BAD FOR BEING A little late, Idele couldn't help but smile widely, as if there wasn't any problem in the world, despite her mother's controlling attitude of course. Her brother was sweet, and he always had been to each of their siblings. But despite being the last Vector in the family, there was still no dislike between the two of them, which of course made Idele feel rather relieved.

"Tea would be lovely..thank you." Smiling as Idele noticed Archie's tone regarding Midge, she smoothed out the crinkles in parts of her trousers, sitting more comfortably. "Don't worry..I hate her too." She added, hoping it would somehow make the situation a bit better. Midge was a nuisance anyway and truly not even her mother liked her. "I think..Alan might do..but Leo still needs some..convincing. Mum's obviously trying to sweeten them both up, promising all sorts if they both do it..but so far I'm the only confident one.."

The oldest and the youngest. One might not think such a pair would get along. Archie was well into his sixth year at Hogwarts when the triplets were born. But Archie never wanted to put up walls with his siblings. End of the day, they were all they had of their disjointed family. Even if Harmony was destined to separate her perfect and superior children, Archie wanted them in his life if they would allow him.

Archie couldn’t help but grin at Idele’s comment about Midge—the horrendous little house elf. Catching the waitress’s eye, Archie signaled they were ready for tea. ”I’m not surprised.” Archie admitted. Naturally, he’d watched his younger sibling’s progress without interfering. ”Leo doesn’t seem all that interested in classes.” He thought about the last time he saw Idele’s mother and their little chat. Leo reminded Archie of Octavian Sr. Ironic as Archie and his younger brother Otto were both named after their father.

DESPITE BEING INCREDIBLY YOUNGER THAN her eldest brother, once part of Idele's brain developed, she made it part of her life's mission to stay in touch with her half-siblings and actually get to know them outside from the opinion that her mother had set in stone about them.

Archie, while he was the first born, wasn't that far off in age from Idele's mother, and it made the youngest wonder what sort of things her father simply used to get up to...Noticing her brother's grin as she made her comments about Midge, lips curved upwards too, matching his smile.

"He isn't...All he wants is to please Mum. I won't even be surprised if he fails his OWLs so he can't even get to do his NEWTs later..." Idele paused briefly, smiling up at the waitress as she used magic to pour them both some tea. "When Hogwarts was shut during that time, I went to Beauxbatons and he begged to be home schooled...Mum obviously didn't say no, but it was annoying getting owls every month from her begging me to come home because they stayed behind."
