Ch 39 Christmas with the Family Pt 3
Mary watch the young man that is similar to her eldest grandson, interacting with the boy and the girl. She then saw him looking at her for staring at him; he walks over to her with an attractive smile. "Hello there, you must be Mary Evans, this world's Harry's grandmother. It's nice to meet you ma'am." He offered his hand to her.
"O-Oh, how gentlemanly." Mary smiles, obliging to his sign of peace he is giving. "It's nice to meet you, Ritsuka; and yes, both me and Harrison know your name already from Lily's letters." The elderly woman smiles at the young man.
Ritsuka notice the slight chuckling from his 'grandmother', making him a bit confused by the sudden action. "Is something the matter, Mrs. Evans?" he asked her.
Mary shook her head, "Oh no, it's just I only got an image of you from Lily's letters and have to go by her description of you." She continues to giggle. "I just never expect you to be this old, I always expected you to be around the teen age but how wrong was I?" she laughs before sighing after her joke.
"Yes mum, he is a surprise to be held." Lily smiles at him.
The elderly red-haired woman saw the small child in the violet haired girl's arms. "And who might this be with your lovely wife?" Mary asked seeing her walking to them.
"Oh, mum that's Romani; Ritsuka's and Mashu's son." Lily introduce her mother to her great-grandson.
Mashu smiles softly at the old woman in front of her. "Hello, Mary-san, my name Mashu Kyirelight Fujimaru. It's so nice to meet you," she greeted her respectfully, inclining her head to her.
"Why hello to you too dear, my you are a cutie. That goes to your little boy too." Mary can't get enough of them. Both of them have the most adorable looking faces, with their hair color increased the cuteness ten times.
"Thank you, Mary-san. Romani, what do you say to Mary?" Mashu looks down at her son, clutching onto her jacket.
Romani looks at the nice woman, greeting his parents in a kind tone. He looks at his parents then his 'great-grandmother'. "Fank, you," he said shyly, still getting used to meeting people.
Mary smiles, looking at the others who came with Lily's family. "And you brought guest, how lovely. It's nice to have some more company."
"I hope you don't mind ma'am, but I brought my Servants and adopted family with me." Ritsuka looks over to the minivan, Bedivere was taking out the luggage and handing it to Charlotte and Lancer.
Tiamat was playing with the small black-haired girl in her arms, delighted to spend time with another toddler like her grandson. Kingu was leaning on the van's door, ignoring everything around him and then some.
Mary waved it off like it was nothing. "It's fine, Ritsuka. And please do call me Mary or Grandma, even if you are from another dimension. You were still born from my dear Lily," The elderly red head smiles. "And that still makes you family,"
"Thank you again, Mary." Ritsuka appreciates how kindhearted his 'grandmother' is to him and his Servants.
Mashu nodded, happy that things are peaceful for now. "Now then, you all must be tired. Please go inside and help yourselves with the refreshments," Mary offered before eyeing the Servants Ritsuka brought with him. "As for your Servants, they can drop your belongings to the guest rooms and join us. We don't want to overwork them."
"Of course-"
Jamie grabs onto Ritsuka's hand, excited to show him where the guest rooms are. "Come on Ritsuka! I want to show you where you're going to sleep!" He said excitedly.
Ritsuka chuckles, letting his 'little brother' pull his arm. "Alright, alright, Jamie."
Lily walks over to Mashu then motions Tiamat over. "If you ladies want, I can show you where the living area is so we can have a nice chat."
Tiamat's eyes widen, loving the idea that was brought up. "Laaaa!"
"I do believe she would like that, Lily-san," Mashu replied for the Primordial deity.
The red-haired woman smiles, "Oh, that's great." She looks over to Jane, kicks a rock over. "Jane, would you like to join us?" Lily asked her daughter
Jane sighs, shrugging her shoulders "Eh, got nothing better to do." she walks over to her mother, joining the ladies into her grandmother's home.
Mary looks over to James, about to head over to the butler, maid, and the brown-haired man. "I'm going to see if they need any help," James said to his mother-in-law before heading over to see if he can be of any assistance.
The only person who's left in the driveway was the green-haired man, still leaning on the door. Mary decided to go over to him, seeing what he might need. Upon arriving to his side, the young man eyed her; clearly doesn't want to be involved. "What?" he asked.
"I was wondering if you would like to go inside? It's a lot warmer inside you know." Mary tried to make a conversation with the Lancer, however, he just scoffed.
Kingu scoffs, walking towards the door. "Got nothing better to do, other than supporting little brother." He walks off, leaving an expression on the old lady's mind about him.
"What's wrong with him? He so…so…"
"Negative? I wouldn't worry about him." Charlotte steps next to her. "He may seem intimidating and negative. But he does have master's in mind." The Assassin informs the wary lady of the Weapon.
Mary looks at the French maid, her face seems cheerful and yet off. "Oh? So he's like the silent and brooding type?" She asked, curious about Kingu's personality.
Charlotte thought for a moment before answering her question. "You may say that, but I'm just here as the Head maid for master." The Assassin answered. "In honesty, Lancer's still rather new to me. He and I rarely interact back home, only a few occasion such as the Outpost and right now that we're together."
Mary nodded, understanding how a job as a maid; especially a head maid is a taxing one. "Oh, well I do this trip will make you two closer, um…"
"My name is Charlotte, but people call me Assassin." Mary's eyes widen at the questionable title she and the other people gave her.
"O-Oh my, and how did you gain that…title?" Mary asked politely, not seeming as rude to her name.
Charlotte merely gave her signature cheerful smile, "Oh, just because I'm a maid doesn't mean I can't protect my master and his family." She giggles, "Now, shall we head inside? I hate for you to catch a cold standing in the open cold like this for too long." She picks up the baggage, proceeds inside the household.
"And these belong to Jamie and Jane, can you do that?" James asked Lancer and Bedivere if they could handle the task.
Bedivere nodded, taking three baggage from the back. "Of course, Sir James. We'll handle the luggage of yours." He ensures the black-haired man.
"Yes, just enjoy your time with your family James. Don't worry about a thing." Lancer answered, retrieving another luggage.
James was thankful that these Servants agreed to help them unload the van. In all honesty, this will take all morning if he has done it alone, but Harry often helps him if he's not busy. "James, can you be a dear and come here please?"
"Um, sure mother just give me a moment," James said checking the door if it's lock before going to his mother-in-law's needs.
Inside the Evan household, a moment before Lily's family arrived. Harrison Evans closed another book about the French revolution, he heard the loud footsteps of his eldest daughter's son making a ruckus in the kitchen. 'Great…my grandson is here. I swear if he wasn't Petunia's son I would've taught that boy some manners.' He mentally sighs, placing his book on the shelf of many historical books back in its place.
Harrison has developed a love of history, myths, and other things revolving around the topic. As such, he became a high school teacher in World History. A topic that he's willing to go into, but can't due to his grandchildren and children didn't develop the love he did.
The old man, got up from his chair walking over to meet his grandson. He winces at the mess that Dudley made when grabbing the refreshment.
Dudley turns his head; his face was filled with crumbs and his hands were covered with chocolate frosting. "Hi, Grandpa!" He greeted the grey-haired man, his mouth filled with mushed-up pastries.
"H-Hello Dudley, how are you this fine morning?" Harrison asked his grandson, attempting to not cause him to make a scene.
"Good! Mummy and Daddy have brought a ton of presents for me and only me!" Dudley exclaims, his tone of voice is showing how spoiled that his parents did to the chubby boy.
Harrison nodded, being kind to the spoiled boy. "Ah, well that's interesting to hear Dudley." He smiles hearing the door behind him open.
"Hello father, I hope your holidays are going off at a good start." Petunia enters her childhood home, walking over to her father to embrace him.
The old man hugged his eldest daughter, happy to see her well. "Hello Petunia, I see you're doing well." His smile is a bit strain since her family's missing appearance during Lily's son's funeral.
"Oh yes, Vernon has recently made it to CBO in Grunnings." Petunia looks over to her lard of a husband, walking in with their belongings. "He's such a good employee, in fact, they should be making him CEO." She expressed how proud she is of the man.
Harrison nodded, trying to be supportive of her family. "Ah, yes Grunnings." He watches his son-in-law placing their luggage on the ground next to the Mesopotamian vase he bought during his visit to Iraq in his younger years. "Hello Vernon, can you please be careful with the vase? It's a rare artifact-"
"Yes, yes, rare. I know." Vernon said happily. "I do wonder why you have a dirty old relic such as this just lying around. If you want my advice, it will make a hefty price in a pawnshop." The walrus said, disregarding how valuable this vase is. The museum would pay at least ten thousand American dollars for a piece like this one.
Harrison disregards his son-in-law's rudeness towards his profession. He took a deep breath and sighs, "Vernon, as much I like your…um, advice. However I do like these artifacts close by, I worked my hardest in obtaining them." he said, his smile strained from his lack of empathy for his work.
Vernon just shrugs, "Oh well, maybe next time. Now let's see those refreshments you prepared for us." He moves past his father-in-law and enters the kitchen. "Ah, Dudley my boy let's see what we have in the kitchen counter."
"Yeah!" Dudley exclaims, wanting more food even if he has eaten the entire serving of cookies, chocolates, and any other appeasing stuff delicacies, leaving the dried crackers and veggies left.
Harrison sighs, wanting more than just to kick them out but can't. He turns around, seeing the door open to his youngest grandson. "You're going to love this place Ritsuka, Grandpa and you have so much in common!" Jamie exclaims, excited to introduce this person to him.
The old man's eyes widen at the similarities that this man held between his original grandson and himself. Sure his wife read to him about this young man through Lily's letters but in person, it's different and weird. "Hi, Grandpa! There's someone I would you like to meet!" He exclaims.
Harrison shook his head, clearing his mind from the shock. "A-Ahem, Jamie. I already know of…Mr. Fujimaru." he said, feeling nervous. Even if he read and gotten a good thought of this other dimension grandson of his, it still doesn't change what has happened in the past. "Um…welcome to my home, Mr. Fujimaru." He finally greeted him at his home.
Ritsuka smiles brightly at the old man. "Thank you for inviting us, Mr. Evans. And please call me Ritsuka." He told the Evans head.
"Then you can call me Harrison or Grandpa. No mister stuff when it comes to family." Harrison said to his grandson's doppelganger. That's right, no matter where Ritsuka came from or his name now is; he's still family in his eyes.
"Father, it seems you're out of refresh-AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Petunia shrieks in horror, seeing her good-for-nothing nephew alive and well standing causally in the entrance of her parent's home.
Vernon rushed to his wife's side, hearing her scream in horror. "Pet. What's wrong? Why are you-HOW THE BLOODY HELL YOU'RE ALIVE BOY!?" The lard of a man points his finger at the Magus.
Ritsuka gave a dead glare at his relative's doppelgangers, still harbor resentment of how they treated him back home. "Oh, it's you two. I knew I might see your family sooner or later." He sighs, placing his hands on his hips. "Well, can't exactly avoid you all entirely now can I?"
Jamie looks at his 'brother' confused about what's he's saying. "You know them, Ritsuka?" He asked him, feeling a bit dumb for asking that question. "What am I saying? Of course, you know them." He sighs.
Harrison motions the two to the living room, "W-Why don't you take a seat in the living room? Dinner is about to start in an hour," He offered his two nephews. "I'm sure you're both tired after a long drive."
"Thank you, Harrison, for the offer." Ritsuka felt his arm being tugged once again from his little 'brother' to the living space.
"Come, Ritsuka! There's a movie I want to watch with you and Romani! I'm sure he'll love it too!" Jamie cheered, excited to spend the holidays with the new addition to the family.
Ritsuka lets out a chuckle, "W-Wait, you're going to make me trip on my feet, Jamie. Slow down." He laughs,
Harrison observes how comfortable his youngest grandson is with this man. He looks at Vernon and his daughter, still expressing shock and fright from Ritsuka's appearance in his home. His eyes draw over to Dudley, still looking for more to eat in the kitchen.
Suddenly, he just remembered how Ritsuka said 'us' and Jamie said 'Romani', "R-Ritsuka, um who is-"
"Harrison dear, it seems we need to bring out the extension to the dinner table." Harrison turns his head to his wife, calling his name.
Mary was standing there with Lily, Jane, and a few new guests to their home. "Hi Daddy, I'm sorry we didn't contact you with the sudden change. But meet your grandson's family." She smiles, motioning to Tiamat standing behind Mary, Kingu; not bothering in looking at the old man, and Mashu who gave a cheerful smile.
"Hello, Harrison-san. It's a pleasure to meet you." Mashu smiles, hoisting Romani up.
Jane chuckles, loving the shock and terrified looks from her aunt and uncle. 'Dear Merlin, this is going to be interesting.'
Later that night, Bedivere, Lancer, and James helped Harrison in retrieving the extension to the dining table from the basement. The whole family gathered around the table, sitting at the exact number of seats needed.
Mary looks at Charlotte and Bedivere, "Are you two sure you won't join us? We have plenty of food for everyone here." The kind woman offered the Servants of Chaldea.
"Thank you for the offer, Lady Evans. But we're alright." Bedivere ensures the elderly woman that they're fine.
Charlotte nodded, "Just allow us to serve your meal," the Assassin added, taking out the meal that was prepared for tonight. The two European Servants went on and serve the family their meal before walking back to the kitchen to prepare something special.
The Dursleys can't help but stare at the strangers that came along with…this man who claims to be the Boy they desperately despise. Vernon looked at what Ritsuka was wearing, a jacket that is obviously made by the best tailor; something he wishes to have and yet doesn't have the money for it. Seeing him in that coat boils him to the core. 'Where does he think, showing up on the doorsteps in expensive clothing. I bet he stole it, like that ugly girl he's sitting next to.'
Vernon huffed, thinking of another excuse to hate this person. 'And that boy, I'm betting that he used that woman to birth that abomination.' He seethes his anger towards him.
For Petunia, she just gave them an evil eye. The expensive clothing they wore, the fact that they're attractive to some people they're like gods and goddess. But to her, she knows the truth, for they are freaks of nature, a disgrace to hard-working folks like her family.
'Look at them, all unnatural. Their hair color isn't right and the way they're dress. I bet there aren't designer wear.' Petunia's eyes draw over to the servants in the kitchen. Fou jumps on the counter as Bedivere placed a saucer on the table filled with human food before helping Lancer with the dishes. Actual human food for the little pest should be on the floor like all animals.
In Dudley's case, he doesn't care as long there's food involved nothing much could phase him. Except for ridiculous claims, people shouted that he adopted from his father; a spoiled and egotistic person is what the two parents raised.
After a while of complete awkward silence, Harrison spoke to make conversation. "S-So, Ritsuka. Your name is quite, unique. I heard what has happened to you in your world," He said, attempting to clear the air of the tenses feeling. "If I might pin the origins, it must be Japanese. Might I ask where you adopted that name from?"
The family lay their eyes on Ritsuka, hearing a slight chuckle from him. Ritsuka sighs, remembering the day he got his name from Gringotts. "Well, in my world I was offered many names. I happen to come across the one I currently have, liking the sound of it." He explains briefly.
Dudley scoffs, "Other world, there's no such thing as that." He rolled his eyes at the claim his 'cousin' made. "I bet you're just saying it just to gain attention!" He points his fork at the Magus.
"That's my boy, proving such a ridiculous claim can't be real." Vernon puffs out his chest, acting all high and mighty. Petunia smiles happily, placing more food on her son's plate (minus the vegetables).
Lily cleared her throat, tired of his ridicule to other people. "Actually, another dimension is possible, with the Ministry developing a way to travel back in time. So the theory is true." The red-haired girl explains.
Petunia scoffs, hating any mention of magic or anything unnatural. "Time travel, what a load of misguided minds your kind has brought up," she sneers at her sister. "Is there anything else that you or kind can do that doesn't involve magic?" The horse woman asked like every year whenever there's a gathering like this.
James rolled his eyes, expecting a snark attitude from his sister-in-law's husband and nephew. "(Here we go again, just as every year.)" He whispers to Lily, a slight giggle escapes from her lips.
Vernon just glared at the Wizard, hearing the words from his whisper. "I heard that you good for nothing-"
"So Ritsuka, what is your occupation?" Mary asked, avoiding a conflict from both of her sons-in-law. "Lily hasn't written anything about your job description, just who you are and where you came from dear." She explains.
"Mmm," Ritsuka thought for a moment before answering. "Well it's hard to explain what I do, but in the long run I'm the sixth director of the Chaldea Security Organization."
Vernon's mind clicks, hearing that his freakish nephew has a job at a security company, and the director no less than his position. "Director? That's quite the achievement there Ritsuka." Mary commented, never in a million years that someone in her family would surpass higher than a manager.
"Y-Yes, (Ahem) So this job of yours. What exactly you do there per se?" Vernon asked, never heard of this 'organization' before.
"Well, Chaldea mainly focuses on the security of the world. The United Nations and the founder's associates funded the place to ensure the world's safety." Ritsuka explains to his 'family'. "My world is prone to being in danger and thus this organization was created."
"W-Wow, then your world must be a dangerous place to live in," Harrison commented, getting a good picture of that place. "No wonder the United Nations supports and funds this Chaldea place." He smiles.
"So pretty much the danger is well known to the public?" Petunia asked, seeing how reckless and irresponsible the people of this Harry's world are. "If anything it would cause some problems to good working people." She held her head high at him.
Kingu grips his glass, cannot stand a human talking down at his brother. 'Damn woman, thinking she's higher than little brother.' He stops, feeling his mother's hand on his.
"(Laaa)" Tiamat hissed at him about to make a scene.
Ritsuka looks at his 'aunt', still doing her high and mighty attitude. But this won't affect him, they're just acting like a child. "We, the UN and the Association cover up any evidence of the danger. The Church helps too-"
"The Holy Church!? The ones that the Ministry is wary of?" Mary gasps, hearing stories from James about them. "Don't they hate Wizards and Witches with a burning passion?"
Jamie and Jane looked terrified, knowing the tales from their school during their Second Year when things get darker in DADA. The red-haired boy was about to say something when they heard their father chuckle. "Dad?"
James let out a chuckle. "Mum, you'll be surprised but Ritsuka has many Servants under him." He thought for a moment, remembering their conversation before. "You have over what? Three hundred?"
Dudley spits his water from his mouth after hearing what his uncle said. "THREE HUNDRED LACKEYS!? THAT NUMBER IS LIKE…LIKE THE AMOUNT DAD MAKES!" He exclaims. Dudley's parents glare at their nephew, having that many people is what this family dream of having. How could a freak like him gain so many people working for him and they don't.
"Goodness, that much?" Mary asked, curious about how he acquires that many people. She looks over to the kitchen, seeing the two Servants inside. "How did you come across your Servants?"
"Oh, Ritsuka and I travel a lot. We've been around the globe and meeting many people on the way." Mashu jumps in.
Harrison's ears perked, these two have traveled across the world. That is something he almost did until Mary was expecting Petunia. "Really, that's interesting. As a matter of fact, I did my own traveling. I have been to many places in my youth."
Lily nodded, remembering the stories. "Yes, Daddy is quite knowledgeable. His major was global history you know, back when he attended college."
"Oh yeah! Grandpa, Ritsuka is too smart about history and many figures within them too!" Jamie jumps in, excited to tell his grandfather. "He's even our Lore Professor at Hogwarts! He wrote our textbooks too!"
Harrison was impressed, he looks over to his 'grandson'. His face was beet red from what his youngest grandson. "Wow, I would like to write a book on what I learned from my travels." He said to him.
Vernon just had a thought in his mind. "Mind telling us where you attend school? You surely have some kind of certificate to do the job you have. Or is it just you meddle your way with the director of that time to gain your position." He smiles, thinking he has him in a corner. This might shed some light on the claims he spewed.
The Potters and Evans dislike how Vernon was going on, discrediting Ritsuka like that. "I was in an apprenticeship by someone who founded a department within a highly sought out school. From there he gave me a position within Chaldea due to his connection with the founder of Chaldea." Ritsuka explains a smug look was located on his face.
"With some luck and dedication, I was appointed by the fifth director as the new head of Chaldea." Ritsuka finishes. "Under his apprenticeship, I learned many things. Such as science, history, magic, math, and many other things."
Vernon and Petunia were stunned, someone who is held esteemed from a prominent school would accept a freak as his apprentice. "So, what school did your mentor work for?" Lily asked, not knowing about this part fully; however, she felt he is indeed a Magus.
"Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. He works where the London Museum has converted into a school, known as the Clocktower." Upon hearing that name, Jane chokes on the bit of food she had in her mouth.
"Laaaa?" Tiamat asked the child, drinking her glass of water.
James looks over to his daughter, "Jane are you alright?" he asked.
Jane waved her hand, singling that it's fine. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine Dad. Just choked a bit." She smiles at him. Within her mind, she was freaking out, 'There's no way this is a coincidence; there is no way that name and Ritsuka know each other!' she thought before turning back to the table.
Mary and Harrison were impressed by Ritsuka's accomplishments. Attended a prestigious school, having a promising career, and becoming a well-known man in both the UN and his school. It's like every grandparent and parent's fantasy. "So back on the topic of Chaldea, is there anything else other than world security that your organization invests in?" Petunia asked, trying to do what her husband did moments ago.
"Let's see, there's a lot actually." Ritsuka chuckles, his Servants join too remembering the adventures he had. "Chaldea is also a research facility. We take pride in storing artifacts, relics, dangerous works, and many more." He explains.
"Research, god I hate that." Dudley scoffs, hating everything about the word. The research papers he did when in school are taxing and a waste of time in his taste.
Harrison nodded, engulfed to know more of his 'grandson's' accomplishments. "So you're like an archaeologist too? I bet you found many things on your travel." He commented.
Jamie nodded, "Yeah, he also found the Lost City of Atlantis!"
"WHAT!?"
Ritsuka jumps, seeing the shocked expression from both Lily's parents. "Uh, yeah. It was a long expedition. After many weeks of cross-referencing and going over Plato's writings, he was a few meters away from the location of the city. It was in the Atlantic Ocean." The Magus explains, making sure not to include that it was Artemis, Europa, and Odysseus who told Chaldea where the Lost City is; and a little help with the Atlantic Lostbelt's map that helps to find the place.
"You got to be the most famous person within the researching community in the world!" Harrison exclaims, dreaming and hoping that the sunken city was real. "I mean Atlantis, what is it like? Is it really a circular city like in Plato's writing or a-"
"It's more of an archipelago, Island nations that form the city." Mashu explains, "It's also where we met Charlotte-san," She looks over to the French maid.
Charlotte giggles, "Indeed, we met during the departure to the Atlantic Ocean. From there we decided to serve master after the trip." She smiles, leaving out the whole Lostbelt situation and Alien God thing.
Mary smiles proudly at her 'grandson'. Never in her life would think that her grandson would discover Atlantis. "I'm sure James and Lily were proud of your accomplishment." She looks at her daughter and son, their faces showed pride for their son's doppelganger.
Lily nodded, "Oh yes, we're just as shock as your mum when we heard of the news." She spoke.
"So what other places you went to? I'm sure you have plenty to tell." Harrison asked.
"We went to India, France, Italy, Jerusalem, Iraq, Japan mostly, America, Russia, Scandinavia, China, South America, and many more." Mashu listed the places they went to from the top of her head.
"Very, very impressive," Harrison commented.
After dinner, everyone went to the living area to talk some more. "Awe, look at that," Mary said seeing Romani and Abigal on the floor, passed out from the cookies they ate. Their hands are intertwined as they slept. "They're such cutie pies."
Petunia scoffs, smiling at her own son sleeping on her lap. "W-Well, Dudley is tiered too." She jumps in.
Vernon smiles proudly. "Dudley is a growing boy, Pet. Why don't we get ready for bed!" he said, wanting to get out of the room from the freaks.
Jamie looks at his parents, still engrossed with the television. "Do we have to? This show is getting interesting!" He wines.
"Well, it's getting late, and your sister is asleep," Lily said.
Tiamat walks over to the sleeping children, "Laaaa," picking them up and leaving the room.
"What did she say?" Harrison asked, not getting what she said.
Kingu sighs, "Mother said that she'll be tucking the small children in the crib." He translated for the humans.
Mary nodded, "Oh," Her eyes look over to Ritsuka talking to James. "Ritsuka, can I ask you something?" she asked the Magus.
Ritsuka looks over to Mary, wondering what she needs. "Of course, what is it?"
"How do you like to join us tomorrow morning in London for a bit of Christmas shopping?" Mary asked, hoping he'll accept her proposal.
Ritsuka thought for a moment, he already bought a present for Mashu when he first got here. As for Romani… "Why not, I need to get one more present for someone." He smiles.
They were all ecstatic that he accepted the offer. Vernon and Petunia weren't, it was supposed to be the holiday that the eldest freak was gone, riddance from their lives and now he's going with them. This wasn't a part of what they fantasized about before they came here.
Location Unknown
"And that's all you need to do." Rita smiles at the desperate and impressionable girl. "Do you understand, Ginny?" she asked once more.
Ginny smiles wickedly, this has to be the best plan Rita concocted. This surely can fail, she looks up at her. "Yes, I do, Rita. You can count on me!" She rushed back to Grimmauld Place with a suspicious-looking bag in tow.
Rita smiles, turning around sensing a familiar presence. "Here I thought you trusted me, after all, you did ask for my assistants." She looks at the figure behind her.
"Rita, you may be foolish. But you are smart, no wonder Avenger of the Gallows met up with you." The man steps out of the shadows with his Archer behind him. "Using the Weasley brat's admiration for that bastard. Smart move, Skeeter." He compliments her quick thinking.
The witch shrugs, "I like drama, and young impressionable people are the source of drama." She said to the master.
"Master, it's time to go." Archer of Phoenicia informed his master,
The master turns around before looking back at the witch. "Make sure you keep to your word, Rita. Don't make a fool of yourself by failing me."
"Of course, witch's honor." The journalist smiles, watching him disappear returning to where he's staying. Rita smiles, "After all, you are the biggest fool." She chuckles, leaving the alleyway.
