Odette had a few days off of work before her next expedition at Gringotts and had decided to spend a few days at Hogsmeade, staying at The Three Broomsticks. She had awoken in the inn and eaten a small breakfast and decided it was a good day for some errands. The young witch dressed in her usual attire: black pants, a dark green shirt, and a long brown sweater that reached her knees. The weather was still just a bit chilly as Odette stepped out into the village. She looked around, wondering where she could possibly start her errands. It was then that her grandparents came to her mind. Ever since Odette was thirteen, she had always sent her grandparents goodies from Hogsmeade; particularly Honeydukes. As muggles, they didn't have quite the delectable treats as wizards did and they were quite fond of the chocolate frogs and pumpkin pasties. So Odette knew her first trip would be to Honeydukes. After asking the clerk to wrap the basket of treats up, Odette made her way out of the store and thought of how she could use some new quills for her desk so she headed to the office supply store across the street. After that was all said and done, she figured she would head to the post office and send the treats to her grandparents.
As Odette made her way down the street, she began to notice younger beings running about. She rolled her eyes to herself; a Hogsmeade weekend for the students. "Great," she thought to herself. Odette was not fond of Hogwarts students at all. While she was still fairly young herself, she had been forced to grow up at a very young age so while she had the look of a twenty-one year old, she had the brain and thought process of a near forty something. She didn't have time to be bothered with students. She was suddenly thankful she had gotten the necessities out of the way as she made her way to the post office, so she didn't have to encounter any other students in more stores.
Odette opened the door to the post office and was immediately met with someone standing directly in the way of the door, as she had ran right into the person. Odette let out a frustrated sound as she readjusted the things in her arms. Was this a joke? The post office was incredibly busy. As Odette now stood in line, she was literally standing in the doorway. The line was now heading out of the door. Who knew how long she would be there now...

Where had those idiots gone?
Adrian had somehow managed to lose track of all his friends during this particular Hogsmeade visit. He'd only turned around for a minute to peek through Zonkos window. But, in those few seconds, the gang had just disappeared. This was new, usually he was the one wandering off without warning. Eh, whatever. He'd catch up to them eventually. Until then, maybe he should finally send the letter he'd been carrying around for his mother. He hadn't sent it at the castle because he'd spotted one of the Potter boys in the corridor he'd been planning on taking. While Lily assured him her brother's didn't know anything, he still wasn't taking any chances. No shame in running and hiding, was there?
There was quite the line at the Post office, more so then he thought. The young Gryffindor barely managed to squeeze through the door. He didn't mind the cold, but given a choice he'd prefer to wait indoors. Who knew how long this would take, especially since he could see an old witch arguing with one of the employees. This would take a while.
Someone ran into him from behind. It wasn't hard, but Adrian stumbled a step forward before catching himself. He scowled as he straightened and turned to find out the culprit. It was a woman, older then him obviously. And he didn't know her one bit. But why... She looked a little familiar... Why? "Clumsy old hag..." He muttered, quiet enough for it to seem like she wasn't meant to overhear, but just loud enough to make it clear he didn't care...

Odette had almost not heard the person in front of her. There was so much going on in the post office; it made her head throb out of annoyance. She almost swept right over them but then did a double take when she saw him. Something seemed... familiar about him. But that didn't excuse what she had just heard come out of his little punk mouth. Had she heard him correctly?
The Cursebreaker feigned a smile out of sarcasm. "Excuse me?" She said aloud to the person in front of her. Judging by the words he spoke and his height, he was a student. And Odette sure did hate students. Especially students with big, stupid mouths. And by judging by what this boy had just muttered, he was probably going to be both. This post office trip was about to turn real interesting...

Adrian's big mouth got him in trouble... a lot. It was a fact of life. His friends joked that he was a bit of a menace. They all had pretty thick skins when it came to his comments, mostly because they knew he didn't always mean it. But stranger? He came off as a snot nosed brat with a serious attitude problem. Like now for instance.
The boy seemed unfazed by the fact that he'd just called a stranger an 'old hag'. When she called him out on it, he looked back at her, an eyebrow raised. It really was unnerving... how familiar she looked. He felt like he should know her... But he was also positive this was the first time he'd seen the older woman. Maybe she just reminded him of someone he knew? That had to be it.
"Sorry, no english." He lied and tried to make his German accent sound as thick as possible. It was a terrible lie, his smug and mocking attitude oozing through. He wasn't a very good liar... Well, when it didn't count. After all, he'd managed to keep his biggest secret a... well secret, for his entire life!

Odette loathed mouthy kids with a passion, and even if this was was, like, her brother (she scoffed at the very idea) that still didn't excuse his attitude. After taking a moment to raise a skeptical eyebrow at te punk, Odette put on a smirk. "Ist diese hilfe, kleinen stich?" She lowered her eyebrows into a glare.
The Curse Breaker looked at the young kid again. She couldn't shake the feeling that she knew the kid somehow. She cocked her head to the side as she looked down at him. He was shorter than her if only by a little bit. She estimated him to be around fifteen or sixteen. She couldn't recall ever meeting him before. Surely she would remember such a little brat.
"Have I seen you before or... something?" She asked, waving a hand in front of her dismissively. Odetted wanted to not care, but the feeling she got about the kid was beginning to feel creepily familiar.

Apparently the post office was a busy place for Grebacks today.
Not that Adrian knew who the people blocking the door to the post office were. He stood there awkwardly for a moment as they seemed ready to jump each other. Then they started speaking in German and he smiled. He knew enough to know that this wasn't a good situation by any means. Aaron had been described in his life as an extroverted introvert. Which meant that he liked to keep to himself but he also knew how to being outgoing, and in this case, to be chivalrous. "Hey, you guys okay?" he asked, strategically placing himself between the two. He was sure that this was a bad idea, for the two fighters both seemed to be rather intense people. Still, he didn't like seeing people being snappy. The world was all around a good place, and people should be good to each other, right?
Normally he wouldn't consider something like this to be his business, but something drew him into helping these two. He knew it wouldn't feel right to just walk away and finish his daily business. No, he was supposed to be here and he knew it.

The next word that left Adrian's lips wasn't english, and from the way he'd said it, it probably wasn't something you'd like to translate. Of course she spoke German. Just his luck. He matched that glare of hers with his own, silently accusing her of taking the fun out of life. That was when he realized something.... unnerving. The way her eyes narrowed, eyebrows lowering and knitting together... He knew that glare. It was so familiar. Almost like... Looking in a mirror. They had the same glare.
Adrian forced his glare to disappear, the boy seriously freaked out by the realization. "No." He sharply responded, not just to tell her though, it was also to himself. To convince himself that this woman was a stranger. But if she was, why was she so familiar? "Who're you?" He finally added, he needed to know for sure...
And then, suddenly, they weren't alone. Someone else had joined the fray. Adrian tilted his head as he looked at the newcomer. There was that feeling again. Familiarity. What in the world? "Oh, she was just apologizing for trying to trample me, right?" He looked back at the woman with a cocky smile.

The glare that the young kid put on almost stopped Odette from continuing her own glare. Why did she feel like he had the same eyebrows that she did? She straightened up, raising her chin a bit as she did so to shake off the eerie, familiar feeling that the kid was giving her. She was just about to respond to his question when another stranger stepped between them.
Odette shifted his glare to the newcomer and immediately she felt the same familiar feeling she did with the younger boy. Her eyes glanced up at his eyebrows briefly as she noticed he, too, seemed to had the same bushy and arched brows. Before she could respond to him, the kid spoke up again. Her glare lowered more intensely. "Hardly," she scoffed.
Raising her chin again to show her seniority over the kid, shelooked between the two of them. "Odette Greyback," she finally answer the kid's question. "And I have some business to attend to so if you would please," she used her hand to gesture them moving aside.

So much sass between these two! It made Aaron internally chuckle. They bickered like brother and sister, at least from what he’d seen. As an only child he didn’t really have much to go on with that. Still, he didn’t know the relationship between these two until the boy asked the girl who she was. So, they were just two strangers fighting in a doorway?
He was about to stand up for the girls wishes to leave, about to step aside, until she said her name. Greyback. He held up a hand, ”wait,” he asked quietly.
He had been researching werewolves, trying to find his sire. Greyback was one of the bigger names that came up. He was well known here, but was also known for travelling countries moreso that any of the others. Maybe this girl would know where her father was twenty-three years ago? Though, it was probably a touchy subject for her—the guy didn’t seem like the sticking around type.
Aaron quickly lowered his hand. ”Sorry, I just... as in Fenrir Greyback?” he added.

Odette Greyback
That was the name the older woman introduced herself by. And in that moment? Adrian froze, all the color draining from his face. She was a Greyback. It had to be a coincidence, right? It couldn't be the same Greyback. But, it also wasn't a common surname. In fact, there was only one Greyback 'line' he knew about. And that was his father...
Adrian didn't speak at first, but managed to move just enough to stuff his hands in his hoody pockets. He'd never handled meeting prospective family members well. He knew he had at least two at the school, and had fully mastered the art of avoiding them at all cost. Who was this woman? A relative of his fathers? Heaven forbid she was another... No, he couldn't think that. "You can't be-" He tried to say something, but that was all that came out, and even then he couldn't finish his thought. Just stared at the woman who was so familiar.
When the new comer said the name though, Adrian pretty much lost it. No..
Adrian took a step back, and then another... He was about to turn tail and run.
"Oi! Adrian! ADRIAN! GREYBACK GET OVER HERE!' That was the loud and annoying call of one of his friends, down the street trying to flag down the German boy. Adrian froze once again, Crud. Then, as he'd been previously planning, the kid turned and ran. Literally. As fast as he could. He'd never handled his father's side of the family well.
@aaron @odette ((... He's in denial. This is typical behavior for him.))

Odette rolled her eyes as the older male raised a hand up in what seemed like confusion. "Yes, Fenrir Greyback," she said, the annoyance she was feeling beginning to poke through her tone. "Do you know of any other? If so, do tell," she crossed her arms at him and raised an eyebrow. For so long Odette had read about and heard about the Greyback name, and all she could find on it was the remaining wolf. No other members of his lineage before him remained. So it was a little annoying to Odette that this guy was asking such a question.
When the young boy tried to speak, Odette then turned her attention to him. Her eyebrow raised further in what was now slight confusion as she watched him begin to back up. Okay, so her last name was Greyback but she didn't think she would ever illicit that kind of response from someone. Well, he was a kid.
At the shout of her last name, Odette's head turned. She found herself looking at younger boys, around the age of the one she had bumpbed into. Greyback? How could they possibly... And then it dawned on Odette. She turned her head slowly to look at the boy again just in time to see him run off. Odette wore an angry look as she turned to face the older boy now. "What. Is your name." She demanded through gritted teeth. The rush of adrenaline coursing through her body was a mixture of fear, anger, and confusion. Who were these two?

She was a pretty intense person, that was for sure. "Oh, no, no I don't... I just have been looking for someone who may know someting about him."
Then the other boy, Adrian Greyback it seemed, made a run for it and Aarons eyes widened at the girl. He squinted at her question, "erh... Aaron McClendon and Greyback might... be father," he raised an eyebrow at her. "He's yours, isn't he? Yours and his," he asked, gesturing in the direction the boy ran.

Odette let in a deep breath. Then another. She needed to calm down. Either she was going to absolutely freak out on this poor stranger or she was going to have a panic attack in the middle of the street. She finally looked up at the stranger, significantly more calm than she had been moments ago. "Yes," was all she could manage to say for a moment. When the boy called 'Aaron' gestured in the direction in which the other boy had just ran, Odette looked that way. "Looks that way." She folded her arms in front of her chest, looking thoroughly disappointed in humanity.
The Curse Breaker looked up at what apparently was her half-brother. "How? How is this possible?" She asked, the look in her eyes more confused than anything now. "How... how are we just finding out about... each other?"

He felt bad that he had walked into this situation, but he was also glad that he did. He had been doing research on his father, right? And now two of his half siblings land in his lap. Odette seemed a bit more stressed about all this then he was but clearly less panicky than Adrian (that was his name, right?). He shook his head as she asked how it was possible, giving a shrug of his shoulders. ”I’m not sure. In all honesty, though, have you ever bothered to look?” he didn’t say it in a cruel or judgmental tone, just a matter of fact way. ”I mean, I’ve been actively trying to find… information. You guys, so I’m not surprised. It’s a bit strange that it was a random happenstance, though,” he said.
Then he chewed his lip in thought for a moment before speaking again. ”Can I buy you lunch?” he really wanted to keep talking to her. Somewhere more private than out in the open.

Odette's brow was furrowed in frustration at the news of this family she never knew she had. It was shocking for any kid to find out they had this whole other part of their life they never knew about, but when you had siblings that were fathered by the same evil, murderous man? Well, Odette felt for her "siblings" and had to wonder what their own experiences with him had to be like. She looked up at Aaron. Had she ever bothered to look? She let out a sound that could only be perceived as a sort of sarcastic laugh. "For him? Yes. I've spent the last two years trying to get to him some how," she shook her head at the failed attempts. "But for... you guys? No." She looked down, realizing how harsh that may have sounded. "I mean, it never crossed my mind that I couldn't be the only one." In that moment, Odette realized how selfish she had been during her adolescence concerning the whole "Greyback" fiasco. She had never stopped to think she couldn't be the lone survivor in it all.
The Curse Breaker looked up at her half brother. "Sure," she nodded once after a moment of hesitation.This guy seemed a lot more sociable than the one who had just ran away, so what could one drink do?
