WHO IS IN CONTROL?

DECEMBER 23, 2024

The moment that Kinsie had come home from Hogwarts, she had begged her mother to allow her to go to the Winter Festival at Hogsmeade, and because Jessa is a bit of a push-over when it comes to her daughter, she complied. But the only thing was, they had to go together, and Kinsie was allowed to run off with friends as long as she told her mother where she was going, and they had a meetup spot. The moment the two of them arrived at Hogsmeade, the eleven-year-old disappeared and told her mother that she was meeting some friends at the ice rink. So much for spending time with her daughter, right? It was two days before Christmas, and the place was filled to the brim with activity, people laughing and running around, having a good time. She smiled—the last time she had been here, had been with some friends during her time at Hogwarts, she might have even come with Jonny once, but she couldn’t remember. She didn’t stop by often, especially after she fell pregnant with her daughter and the scandal that befell their family.

Jessa wondered around, stopping by and grabbing a glass of alcohol to carry around with her, some supposedly spiked eggnog, which wasn’t that bad. She stopped by the ice rink and saw that her daughter was laughing and having a good time, which brought a smile to her face and then she parted ways, not wanting to be the overbearing parent. She moved from place to place, looking at everything that the festival had to offer all while drinking from her glass.

Dmitri and his sister had just moved to the London area because of his new job. It was good to get away from their mother land, Russia. The two had grown up in the same city, and had been there for years. It was time for a change. Dmitri still had plans to homeschool his sister for the rest of the semester, but she had expressed interest in going to school, and now with their father out of the way, there was no one to stop her. Dmitri had been deprived that luxury when he was younger, he wouldn't do that to her.

Just moving to the area, the two had learned about the Winter Festival in Hogsmeade and they decided to try it out. It didn't take long until the 15 year old begged to be let alone to try to make friends her own age. She saw a number of them around the ice rink and Dmitri agreed with a heavy sigh. Apparently it wasn't cool to hang around your older brother anymore. But the young girl had gone through a lot, and Dmitri was determined to do all that he could to help her not be as messed up as her older siblings were. They agreed on a time and a place to meet up and she was off.

Now alone, Dmitri hung around the ice rink for a while, watching her. Having protected his sisters for many years now, it wasn't a habit that just went away. But the girl quickly ground a group around here age and was invited in. Dmitri dutifully observed them for a short time, but determined that his sister wasn't in immediate danger. He finally walked away to grab a drink. At this point, he needed it. A lot had happened in a short period of time. Dmitri walked up to a stand that was selling alcohol, getting a bottle of something, that he dreamed to be weak, he started to look for a place that would have something stronger. Something like Russian Vodka. Doing this, drink in hand, he accidentally bumped into someone. "Prasteete" He stated without thinking. When he looked at who he had accidentally hit, it was a woman, who also seemed to be drinking something. Being a new area, and wanting to kill some time, Dmitri smiled at her "Sorry about that. Are you alright?" He stated in fairly good English, he had been taught since a young age, but it was obviously not his first language.
