Rabastan had become the very source of several heated arguments between Gaultier and Sabine: yes, he had fought tooth and nail to get his son through school with the promise of several hundred galleons to the professors who passed him but that did not a man make. All attempts to point this out to his youngest, however, failed and rather miserably so; neither Sabine nor Rabastan would hear it and his son's rigorous (childish) actions continued, in much more force than they had previously. Sabine strongly believed the boy could do no wrong.

With another argument ending with slammed doors and distance between them, Gaultier found himself drowning away his thoughts in a rather giant glass of whiskey. The golden liquid slowly disappeared as the glass was tipped further and further back, one sip after another until it was entirely drained -- drained, a feeling Gaultier was aware of much more recently than he would have liked to admit, a feeling overwhelming him even now.

This is where he'd spend the remainder of his night, seated now behind his desk with a stack of paperwork and another filled glass, as far away as possible from the constant drama that befell both his wife and child.

Even Rabastan knew better than to disturb Gaultier when he was in one of his moods, but a recent altercation with a certain Rosier brat had left him spoiling for a fight. It was an itch that could be cured by an evening spent in a basement at Knockturn, where brute-faced wizards came together for endless bloody rounds of fisticuffs -- only a distressed Sabine had made him promise to avoid the rings, and Rabastan, who was nothing if not a good son to his mother, would obey. For now.

But despite his mother's best intentions, his favorite outlet -- for it was his favorite, and only a good victory fuck after beating his opponent into a pulp came second to it -- was cut off from him. He could not even confront Sabine about it and carefully wheedle permission from her, as she, after a series of loudly slamming doors, could not be found, not even by her youngest son, who was usually in the know about her preferred niches.

And so, frustration that grew by leaps and bounds crawling under his skin, Rabastan strode into his father's study, the banging of the door announcing his arrival as he moved into the centre of the room. The glint of light caught by the glass of whisky caught his gaze, and a slow upward curl of a smile brought mocking amusement to his expression.

"Have you seen my mother?"
