[Alecto and Evan and Matilda and Mackenzie.] Why are pregnant women insane? Present company excluded. You were a perfect pregnant woman, Matilda. Mackenzie too. Absolutely glowing.

Clara thinks I'm out boozing every night or I don't know, I think I told her I was doing research for songs. Now she's pissed at me.

She's being paranoid and says I need to show more emotion, but what the fuck.

Let me make something clear to you.


Your family will always come before your career. Your wife is pregnant, you wanker, of course she isn't going to give a shit that you need to be away from her and your kid, just to work on a God damn song.

Go into another room or something, and put up wards. Do something other than bitch and moan about her having legitimate reasons to think you're an asshole.

You don't fucking get it. I'm not at bars and I'm not writing songs in the evenings. I'm doing the Dark Lord's work. I can't tell her this you dense fucking idiot.

I write the songs during the day so that I have something to show to her when I'm "out" in the evenings.

Yes, well, the problem isn't what you're doing during the day, now is it?

It's what you're doing at night that she's getting pissed about; so what fucking good does showing her what you did during the day going to do, when she already knows where you are during the day, and you aren't around at night, which is when she does wonder where you are? How are you even managing to 'show her' these songs that will 'prove where you've been' if you're doing His work in the evenings?

Like a normal job.

I do it during the day but tell her I write the songs in the evening. It's called lying, you stupid fuck. She doesn't know otherwise. She works and I work at the wand shop. To her knowledge, she thinks I'm polishing and selling and making wands all day. Which I do, most days.

And I'm not out every night, just the nights He calls. And I do have weekends free from work.

So what you're saying is that you've been doing the exact thing I originally called you a moron for, that you so fervently denied doing?

If you're going to lie, be. able. to. back. it. up.

Showing her a song that you wrote during the day, and telling her you wrote it at night doesn't cut it. As I've said, if that's really what you were doing at night, there's no reason you couldn't do that at home, so it just makes you look like a selfish asshole who leaves his house at nights to do work that doesn't necessarily need to be done elsewhere.

So again, I reiterate my original sentiments in saying that you're a fucking moron.

This? Not helping. At all. I have to be out those nights when he calls, otherwise, oh right, we're fucking dead.

I am lying to her so she doesn't flip out and tell the ministry that I'm a fucking Death Eater and get us all fucking killed.

You don't fucking show people songs anyway, they progress and that's how you know they're being worked on. I work on them all the time, it's not like something you have to always sit down and do. Or sometimes I'm at open mic nights, which she used to come to.

I actually do need to fucking be elsewhere on those nights.

Than you obviously need to think of a better lie, because that one obviously isn't working.


Which, by the way, was my original point.

It's a wrong point, even if you keep saying it.

I've already told this one, she'll know for sure I've been lying if I change my fucking story now.

You just should have been smart enough to never tell her such a ridiculous lie in the first place.



Why are you not getting that?

No, you're in this fucking mess because you didn't think through the lie you decided to feed your wife, and now that it's not working out for you, you want us to think of a way to help you fix it.


You dug this hole yourself, I'm not about to fucking help you back out now that your God damn wife finally pushed you into it.

He married a halfblood Hufflepuff whose brother is a big name in the ministry and honestly! Honestly, Evan? How on earth could anyone hide your duties like that!

Sometimes it's a necessity, keeping your status a secret. If the wrong people were to find out, than he would have a lot more problems to deal with than he already does.


He just doesn't think, and then he complains to us when he's caught up in his own lies.

Evan!

But that's precisely it! Why surround yourself with people you know from the start you can't trust? It's as if he wanted to get himself into deeper and deeper trouble.

I personally feel that this is for the best. He could do much better than a halfblood Hufflepuff who agrees to get married through a journal entry.

Point taken. He does seem like quite the emotional masochist, doesn't he?

The only problem is that this mudblood Hufflepuff is the only one who could put up with his shit long enough to marry him.

Alecto is single! She could knock him straight in a second flat.

Or ohhhh, Kalista! Evan, that would be perfect! You should have that arranged once they get divorced.

Alecto would be standing over the corpse of her new beau in 5 minutes flat.


And unless you'd like this conversation to take an ugly turn, I suggest never mentioning the idea of Emmet Belby and my sister ever again.

Oh, I kid!

But seriously, Kalista has been out in the social realm for a bit long without her own beau. As her brother, don't you feel the need to remedy that and find her an appropriate suitor?

And before you tell me to mind my own business, I could be talking about your current status with one Miss. Hooke. A status that hasn't changed in over a year.

Kalista is old enough to decide what she wants for herself.


If anyone is going to feel the need to remedy anything, it's going to be our dear father. He always does try to do what's best for us, you know.


Isn't there something else for us to talk about?

No, she's precisely the right age to get--- Of course she is! But you would rather have a say in the matter, if your father was to bring the issue up, now wouldn't you? I could absolutely help you in that case.

And no, not really. Emmet's not listening to me and is insisting on staying with the mudblood.


So. When are you proposing to Cecilia?

You obviously don't know my father. He wouldn't 'bring up the issue', he'd just take action. It's not that I wouldn't rather have a say, it's that I don't get to have a say. If he decides he wants to marry her off, he's going to do it without making it a family discussion.

Shocking.


When I no longer have any doubt in my mind that marriage is what I want.

What is there to doubt? Cecilia's the perfect example of a proper young lady, she tolerates your moods (and do not even try to deny that you are sometimes hard to tolerate! It is a skill only few possess, handling you!), and she loves you.

And she's a supporter of your cause.

And she's very pretty, you two would make lovely children.

Doesn't she make you happy, Evan? That's all you really need in life.
