Chapter 10: Firewhisky and letters!
He kept looking at it, frozen, staring at the red envelope on his bed, How had the news travelled so fast?
He'd heard the door open and the recognisable sound of Jace's boots on the room floor, he'd also heard them leave the room and then enter again followed by the sound of Izzy's heels.
"You okay there Alec?" followed by Jace's hand on his shoulder, in a reassuring 'I'm here for you way'
The only response Alec could muster was a small shrug of his shoulders.
Was he okay? He'd had an amazing day with Magnus, yes the news about them had reached every corner of the school, but he thought he'd have time before his parents found out! Had someone in Hogsmeade village told his parents? He knew his mother had eyes everywhere but did she really have someone in Hogmeade?!
"Are you going to open it?" this time it was Izzy. She had moved to sit on the bed and was staring at the envelope with a look of disgust, she had been sent many by their mother.
"I'm going to have to, they get worse the longer you leave them." He let out a small sigh, this is not going to be fun.
He reached out but was stopped by Jace, "Wait! I have the perfect thing to accompany this moment." He walked over to his bed, reached under and produced a bottle of firewhisky. "TADA!"
Normally Alec would tell him off and refuse to drink but for this moment it sounded like the best idea of his life. Taking a large swig out of the bottle he then turned to the envelope, grasped it in his hand like he would his wand in a duel and opened it.
The envelope formed to look like a face and the voice of Maryse Lightwood could be heard throughout the room.
"ALEXANDER GIDEON LIGHTWOOD!
HOW DARE YOU EMBARRASS YOU FAMILY IN SUCH A WAY! YOUR FATHER AND I ARE VERY DISSAPOINTED!"
Alec took another swig out of the bottle.
"WE SPENT ALL THE TIME ESTABLISHING A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND LYDIA AND YOU WANT TO THROW IT AWAY LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! AND ALL FOR A BOY! HOW DARE YOU!"
Alec took yet another swig. Jace moved to take the bottle off of him but Alec dodged out of the way still drinking from it.
"YOU AND LYDIA ARE THE PERFECT MATCH, I WILL NOT LET YOU THROW AWAY LIKE IT NOTHING! STOP THIS RIDICULOUS THING YOU HAVE GOING! IF NOT FOR THE FAMILY BUT FOR YOUR OWN FUTURE! YOU ARE NOT GAY! YOUR FATHER AND I WILL NOT ALLOW IT"
Jace stopped trying to grab the bottle, and stared at the envelope in disbelief, had his mother really just refused Alec the right to be gay?
"THE MINISTER HAS KINDLY ALLOWED THE ENGAGEMENT TO CONTINUE ALL THANKS TO LYDIA TALKING HIM TO HIM ABOUT HOW PERFECT THE MATCH AND HOW SHE WILL LET THIS GO! WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS MORE!"
Alec was sat on the floor his back against the wall grasping an almost empty bottle in his hands.
"IM SURE YOUR SIBLINGS WILL HELP YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECSION AS IM SURE THEYRE THERE WITH YOU! GOODBYE ALEXANDER!"
The letter then ripped itself up and all that was left was silence. The three lightwood siblings stood still. Alec had thrust the bottle at them as soon as Maryse had mentioned them.
"So that happened" Jace obviously being the one to break the silence.
Alec nodded. Then regretted it and his head started to spin and rested his head against the wall. His head then shot up as he declared "I'm going to the library!" He stood up, legs wobbly and the room swayed.
"Your going where now?" his siblings said in unison.
"The library" he thought for a second "or the Ravenclaw tower."
His siblings looked at him in disbelief and then at each other. But before they could stop him he was out the door and on his way.
hope you enjoyed it!
