@adrian <3 It had been a hard day for Harry and Ginny. Some days were harder than others, and some easier. Yet it was always the same, trying to give her major events in their lives, trying to see that spark of happiness in her eyes once more. While it hurt him to not be able to help her, he knew he had to strive to keep going on. That's what he did not matter how much it hurt him. Although it wasn't the best thing to say, Harry was glad she remembered the worst parts of their lives. It made him selfish, not wanting to talk about that part of his past. But it also made sense. Harry was sure Ginny understood that, but he couldn't help the amount of guilt he felt for it. Even so, he tended to exhaust himself trying to tell her about the births of their children, who they were and what their wedding was like. But no matter what, Harry wouldn't stop at anything for his wife to be back to normal again.
He had been spending a lot of time at Hogwarts as of late. The Triwizard Tournament was happening again. Harry felt a small shudder run through him at the thought. It always sent flashbacks through his brain causing his body to stiffen and a panic attack usually sets in. However he's been trying to keep his thoughts related to his Aurors and how they were doing at the school. He began to take a walk along the grounds, his feet leading him to the place he first met Sirius. The Whomping Willow was quite worrisome, but Harry's never died from it yet. He stood far enough away, resting his back up against a rock wall as he stared out at the forest before him.

Adrian had spent the last six years mastering the art of avoiding everyone he didn't want to deal with in his life. including Lily's father. This year in particular Adrian had really gone out of his way. With everything that had been going on with Lily... Well, the last thing he needed was to be confronted by Lily's father. His... well, he still wasn't exactly sure what they were. They hadn't exactly defined their relationship. Which could make things even more awkward with Lily's father.
Unfortuantely, this year had also been his most complaisant year as well. Because his thoughts were filled with Lily, his mother, his cousin... It was no surprise that while he'd been wandering the grounds by himself that he completely overlooked the fact that out of the corner of his eye was Harry Potter. If he had he would have left immediately, before the possibility of being recognized. He didn't know how much Harry knew about him, what Lily had told him. Obviously he didn't know about... Well, Adrian being the one that turned Lily into a werewolf but no one knew that aside from them. Neither of them had shared that information with anyone. Either way the fact of the matter was the idea of meeting Lily's father freaked him out, and he was too distracted at the moment to realize that he was out in the open, within walking distance to the man he'd tried to avoid for years.

@adrian <3 It really was beautiful, the sight before him. The millions of trees were getting larger and larger, and the area around them was growing many flowers and types of bushes. Harry's eyes glanced downwards at the place where he had first heard Hermione howling, Remus in front of him in full wolf form. Swallowing nervously, he stood up and shook his head, looking away from the sight and the memories.
When he opened his eyes again, the person he saw actually made him smile. Adrian Greyback, his only daughter's...friend, boyfriend thing. Harry wasn't sure what to call it, but he had yet to meet the young man. Shaking off the worries in his brain, he placed his hands in his pockets and made his way down to the hill, waving a hand. "Adrian! Hang on a moment." Harry gave a small smile, hoping he didn't look too intimidating.

Adrian's fight or flight response clicked on the moment he heard his name being called. Even though he'd never met Lily's father didn't mean he didn't know the sound of the man's voice. How else had he gone so long avoiding a Ministry official? The boy's entire body locked up, freezing him in place more out of shock then intending to follow the order. No, given a chance, Adrian would run like hell. But now... Now it was too late. Lily's father had not only seen him, but was intending to have a conversation. Running now would be futile.
Digging his hands deep into his robe pockets to try to hide the intense discomfort, Adrian raised his gaze to find the man with the scar. Making his way towards Adrian. He was smiling, but Adrian wouldn't be fooled. Mr. Potter knew who Adrian's father was, but he didn't know that Adrian himself was a werewolf (he'd made sure Lily hadn't told him that bit of information) and he especially didn't know about Adrian's involvement with her being turned into a werewolf. "... Mr. Potter." Adrian muttered, his attempt to be civil to his girlfriend's father all while his heart beat loudly in his chest.

@adrian <3 Oh, the poor boy looked scared as all hell. Thankfully, Harry didn't know that feeling. He had met Ginny before he had even entered Hogwarts, and by then, he had become best friends with Ron, and Arthur and Molly had adored him. It was never an issue for Harry with parents which was fortunate for him. There was a moment that he wanted to mess with him, but he wouldn't. It wasn't who he was.
Harry just smiled, and held out his hand for a shake. "Well it's nice to finally meet you, Adrian." He waited to see if the shake would be strong and confident, or lacking of both. Whichever it was, he wouldn't be judged for it. At least not by Harry. While he seemed intimidating, he didn't want to scare Adrian anymore than he already was. "How are you?" Greyback or not, Harry wanted to get to know him. For Lily's sake.

The look Adrian gave Mr. Potter when he held out his hand was a mixture between horror, unease, and mistrust. The boy glanced down at the offered hand, then back up at Mr. Potter, as if wondering what might happen to him if he chose to accept that offered hand. Would he be poisoned? Electrocuted? Turned into a toad? Already spells were systematically running through his head, trying to pinpoint the ones (that he knew) that could be hidden in an act as simple as a hand shake. Adrian was, obviously, looking much to deep into this entire thing. If Mr. Potter wanted to curse him he would do so regardless of Adrian shaking his hand. So, resigning himself to his fate, he finally reached out to take that offered hand and firmly shake it. Not because he wanted to appear more confident in the act, but because you always give firm handshakes in Germany and his mother would beat him upside the head if she ever heard he hadn't given one. As soon as it was appropriate to release that hand though you knew he did, immediately tucking that hand back into the pocket it typically called home. "Yeah..." Not the best answer for the comment made, so Adrian added just two words more. "You too." Again, not the best answer but at least it was an answer. That was progress. He usually ran and hide from sight when Lily's parents were around. Actually speaking to them was impressive. At the question of how he was, Adrian twitched, still waiting for a curse to come at him. "I'm... fine..." All of Adrian's nerves were really bringing out his German accent. Usually it was pretty mild, since he spoke English so much. But whenever he got this nervous? Well, his words got thicker, sounds tried to change and he had an unfortunate inability to pronounce his th's.

@adrian <3 If Harry didn't have such control over his own facial features, he would've cracked up laughing. Literally, hysterically laughing. Harry honestly didn't think he was that intimidating! Maybe Adrian was just a nervous wreck all the time, he didn't know. But if that was the case, he had no idea how the boy dealt with Lily on a daily basis. However, as nervous as he was, the boy gave a good handshake, and it made Harry smile. "You've got a good handshake, there." He commented calmly, knowing he had to say something as Adrian muttered a few words that didn't give Harry any real way to respond to him.
The boy's accent was one Harry had heard before and easily spotted. He could tell he was nervous, so he hoped maybe talking more would get him to calm down. Harry wasn't here to yell at him, stun him, argue with him, anything. But it was clear that wasn't what Adrian thought. "Your accent...Germany, if I'm correct? It's very pleasant, I'm sure Lily enjoys it. Where in Germany are you from, Adrian?"

The smile and compliment of Adrian having a good handshake did nothing to ease his nerves. If anything it made them worse. Because suddenly it was almost as if he had some sort of expectation to live up to. What the expectation was... Well, Adrian hadn't thought that far ahead. None the less, despite Adrian's completely unproven distrust of this entire situation he slowly nodded, at least to acknowledge that he had, indeed, heard Mr. Potter. The last thing he needed was for Lily's father to think him deaf and stupid on top of who knew what he already thought.
His thickening accent being brought up made Adrian twitch ever so slightly, if only because the boy seemed convinced he was being interrogating and for some reason his nationality played some role in the interrogations. "Yes.." He answered almost immediately, not even waiting for Mr. Potter to finish his comments. When he finished hearing everything else Lily's father had to say though his ears turned a touch red. "Mostly Berlin." His mother was a musician, so they'd moved quite a bit when he was younger, until finally settling in Berlin. Though now that he thought about it.... "Dresden now though." That was where his Aunt and Uncle lived, and since he'd be living staying with them for breaks and summer while his mother was abroad... "Lily spent some of last summer in Germany with us." He blurted out, though mentally kicked himself after. Of course her own father knew that. Who did he think she'd gotten permission from! Dang it, why did he have to be so nervous right now?

@adrian <3 Harry was confused for a moment. Knowing his daughter, and meeting this boy, made it very clear to him they were complete opposites. It was that, or the fact that he was just nervous. Harry never understood that; why anyone would be nervous of meeting him. More specifically when he was younger, considering he hadn't actually done anything at all as an infant to help the world. Granted, when he was older he did quite a bit, but even now? He hoped it was just because he was a father, but unfortunately Harry would never know what it was like to just be a father.
Adrian went on to speak of where he was from in Germany, and Harry nodded. He knew Lily had gone with him for the summer, even if he hadn't had the best thoughts about it. Being her father, and her going with a boy, he was going to be worried. Especially where it was a different country. "I've never had the chance to visit, but if you would, would you recommend Dresden?" Harry decided not to comment on his daughter visiting too much, knowing Adrian was already nervous. "Lily definitely enjoyed it. We heard about it for a few weeks." He smiled.
