Fandom The Gathering of Death Eater Children

[Hikari Chan]

"They are fine. " Luna replied. "They eat well, receive clean clothes and towels daily, and even dessert occasionally."

Elias smiled. Seems like she can be a good mother, but why did she decide to take the Potter's children in custody...would she mind to have children of her own?..but I feel that I cannot talk about this subject more, she does not seem to want to discuss it...but if we marry, the children will be of my responsibility as well and I won't mind them at all....

"And how are the lessons with advanced magic going?" He asked innocently as the house elf entered the parlor, bringing tea. About two to three hours had passed since lunch and it was already tea-time. The house elf put the silvery tray at the coffee table and was about to hand over the tea-cups but Elias gave him a sign to leave because he preferred to hand the cup to his lady. As he handed her a cup of tea he hoped that she did not mind the next subject.

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

'They are going well." she said, getting annoyed now, however, she still didn't show it. What is this? Let's talk about annoying topics day? Is he trying to annoy me, or is he simply pushing his luck? The lessons where necessary and helpful. And, it's not like I like the children. If only he knew my end goal, he would never have brought them up. "However-" she continued, "I do not think I can learn any more from him. I am now familiar with smoke manipulation, and can summon my wand. What he cannot teach me, however, is Legillimancy." My father found it quite useful, just as he did smoke manipulation. Granted, he was never disarmed, so he did not have a need to learn how to summon his wand, but I don't think my time was wasted there, either. "So" she concluded "We have discontinued lessons recently, and I have put myself up to the task of finding another teacher. Now-" she turned to him with an intentionally forced smile "May we discuss another subject?"

 

[Hikari Chan]

Such a pity...though I cannot but feel content that Mr. Glass is out of the way, I still remember when Monroe told me about the bad feeling she had that was lurking at manor..could that have been something related to him? Merlin knows. Anyway, I would gladly teach Luna legillimancy with all my heart. It would be a perfect opportunity for us to get even closer to each other. But I wont ask her about it right now, because it seems I’ve touched sensitive subjects...

"As you wish my lady," Elias smiled lovingly. "If you do not have any subject on your mind, do you mind playing a bit of music to me?" He asked charmingly. "It was a while ago..." he spoke quietly remembering the time she once played a beautiful song before the battle.

Elias smiled as he led the way to the library room, which was beautifully furnished with comfortable couches and tables, book shelves and music instruments. He swished with his wand towards the fireplace to lit a fire since the room was a little chill and closed the doors.

Meanwhile
Elizabeth descended the stairs as soon as she heard the doors to library room opened and closed. She hurried to the kitchen almost making the house elf almost jump of surprise as she entered all of sudden.
"Lunch you said?" She whispered after she had interrogated the house elf. "And they only spent time in the dining room and the parlor until now....." well there's nothing I can suspect Elias about, but I don't like the idea of him inviting a lady indoors when he is alone at home....

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

"If you do not have any subject on your mind, do you mind to play a bit of music to me?" He asked charmingly. "It was a while ago..."

"On the contrary-" she said, smiling "I would love to." She followed him to the library, and looked around at the many instruments as he closed the door. She summoned a violin, asking him what he would like to play. "Or-" she said with a sly smile "Shall I start, and you play with me?"

 

[Hikari Chan]

"With all my pleasure, dear" Elias sat down at the piano. "My favorite instrument is the piano and I love the combination of it together with the violin. Go ahead please." He smiled happily towards her, his fingers ready at the keys.

And as soon as she started he joined her in a beautiful music.

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

The played for an hour and a half, both of them losing their sense of time due to their lovely music. They played so harmoniously together, that both of them where surprised it wasn't pre-rehearsed. They performed several lovely songs without stopping, and it was Luna who decided they needed a break, conjuring each of them a glass of ice water. "This has been memorable" she said, genuinely happy to have someone to play with rather than self-playing instruments "I've never met another who can play so well. "

 

[Hikari Chan]

Elizabeth sneaked outside the library room, she heard the beautiful tones from behind the doors. She stood outside the doors, her hands at the handles. The music was so lovely and beautiful. She sighed and wept of happiness. How beautifully they play together, it's like they are made for each other. No, I shall not disturb them, I'll surprise them at the supper..
She hurried back to the kitchen and ordered the house elf to prepare supper for four, knowing that her husband would be home soon.

A while later
"With all my pleasure. Thank you dear, I feel so honored to have got this lovely opportunity with you today. I could never have played better without you." Elias smiled happily as he took a sip of the ice-cold water when he suddenly noticed that the sun had gone beyond the horizon. The clock at the wall showed half past seven. "Oh, good gracious, time has run away so fast and it is already past dinner time. I’m so sorry dear I did not notice the time earlier, you must be famished. Would you love to eat supper with me tonight?" He said as he put his arm around Luna's waist. "Or why I’m actually asking, I won't let you leave hungry." He said charmingly as they walked in to the dining room, where the table was set for four persons this time.

"Good evening," Elizabeth smiled slyly, surprising them both.

" Is the supper ready? I’m starving," Mr. Alexander Shadowwalker spoke as he entered the dining room. "Oh, what a nice and jolly surprise, welcome dear" He greeted Luna gladly, his blue eyes twinkling.

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

"Oh good gracious, time has run away so fast and it is already past dinner time. I'm so sorry dear I did not notice the time earlier, you must be famished. Would you love to eat supper with me tonight?"

Luna was about to turn down his offer, but when he continued she saw that it would ruin her progress if she objected.

"Or why I'm actually asking, I won't let you leave hungry." He said charmingly.

"Thank you." Luna said politely as she resisted taking his hand off her waist. I can't. This only means that he is getting more confident around me. If I remove his hand, he will see it as if I am rejecting him. As they walked into the dining room, both Luna and Elias where surprised to see that the table was set for four .

"Good evening," Elizabeth smiled slyly.

"Good Evening, Mrs. Shadowwalker. What a pleasant surprise." Luna said, bowing her head in respect as she said her name.

" Is the supper ready? I'm starving," Mr. Alexander Shadowwalker spoke as he entered the dining room. "Oh what a nice and jolly surprise, welcome dear" He greeted Luna gladly, his blue eyes twinkling.

"Good Evening, Mr. Shadowwalker. Lovely to see you. "

The each took their seats, and before they began Luna spoke, in a polite and graceful voice. "Thank you for having me for dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Shadowwalker. " she said, turning to each of them as she spoke "Thank you as well, Elias" she said, sharing a warm smile with him before tasting the lovely dinner the house elf had prepared. As usual, Luna ate slightly slower than most, so as not to show that she was eating much less.

 

[Hikari Chan]

"You are quite welcome dear, the pleasure is ours, we are very happy to have you with us at supper tonight," Elizabeth replied politely. Such grace, such high manners, I would be so proud if she became my daughter-in-law.. She thought as they sat down to eat the lovely meal.

Her eating habits strangely reminds me about Lily's eating habits when she was fourteen years old. Lily used to take a little less food and spread it all over her plate and eat slower than us, because she had eating disorders and did not want to show that. Does Miss Lestrange not like the taste of these dishes or does she also have eating disorders? Or perhaps she is too shy to eat that she might eat less than she usual do?.. Elizabeth thought as she was eating. She noticed that her son was a little nervous. He was looking down at his plate all the time, his cheeks slightly red like he was having a fever, half picking and half eating his food. Oh, the love fever, then I have no doubts that they both have butterflies in their stomach.. She smiled towards them both with a teasing look, a look that showed that she knew about their love fever.

"Today when I arrived home, I heard a beautiful harmonious music," Elizabeth spoke to Luna, though not telling when she exactly had arrived. "It was truly touching indeed.." She sighed. "I was ....well....it was so serene and tranquil.....you must have played the violin, didn't you?" She took a sip of water. "Elias mostly plays the piano, a favorite thing he had since his childhood. I have a cute picture of him as a four-year-old playing the piano the first time." she chuckled.

Elias' face turned several shades of red as his both parents laughed heartily at the jolly memory.

"As a child he also used to sing, but when he became older, he stopped for a strange reason." Alexander commented.

"That's such a pity, though I am glad that he is able to master the piano." she said to her husband and then spoke to Luna: "I do sing a lot, especially when I play music. Do you also love to sing?"

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

"Today when I arrived home I heard a beautiful harmonious music," Elizabeth spoke to Luna, though not telling when she exactly had arrived. "It was truly touching indeed.." She sighed. "I was ....well....it was so serene and tranquil.....you must have played the violin, didn't you?" She took a sip of water.

"Yes, thank you."

"Elias mostly plays the piano, a favorite thing he had since his childhood. I have a cute picture of him as a four year old playing the piano the first time." she chuckled.

Luna smiled, trying to imagine a tiny Elias, with the same silly long black hair, banging on a piano.

"That's such a pity, though I am glad that he is able to master the piano." she said to her husband and then spoke to Luna: "I do sing a lot, especially when I play music. Do you also love to sing?"

"I do have a memorable singing voice, " Luna said modestly "but I much prefer to play the violin. It has been my favorite for a long time. However, it has been so long since I played with someone so talented- "she politely gestured to Elias "Does Lily play an instrument, or practice singing, if I may ask?"

 

[Hikari Chan]

"I do have a memorable singing voice," Luna said modestly. "But I much prefer to play the violin. It has been my favorite for a long time. However, it has been so long since I played with someone so talented-" She politely gestured to Elias, who was feeling flattered and embarrassed at the same time by her praising words while his parents looked very proudly at him. "Does Lily play an instrument, or practice singing, if I may ask?" Luna asked.

"Unfortunately, no, she does not really sing or play anything at all like I and Elias. I have been trying to teach her proper music when she was little, but she refused to learn anything because she was headstrong and difficult as a child...." Elizabeth replied Luna and then looked at her husband with a smile as she continued: "Perhaps she is more like her father?"

"I doubt, I always wonder who our girl is alike in the family," he laughed. "I do not have a sense for playing music or singing, though I love to listen to classical music. Lily, on the contrary, is the only one in the family who prefers today's modern music-"

"-which she enjoys to sing along with-" Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"-and weird dances hehehe.." Alexander chuckled.

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

"-which she enjoys to sing along with-" Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"-and weird dances hehehe.." Alexander chuckled.

"Well, everyone is unique in their own way. Sometimes, genetics play no part in the personality of the young. Besides sharing Elias's looks, Lily is quite different from her brother. "she said calmly.

They had finished their food, and Luna turned to Elizabeth once more. "Thank you for this memorable dinner." she said politely. She gracefully stood up to leave, folding the cloth she had had on her lap. "It has been a lovely evening. Thank you all. " she turned to leave, making her way to the door.

 

[Hikari Chan]

"Yes, that is true, dear. I cannot but agree with you." Elizabeth smiled. Miss Lestrange is not only beautiful and polite; she is also smart and intelligent. And as she said, everyone is unique in their own ways, genetics does not matter, thus I assume that she is different from her both parents.

When they had finished their supper, Luna stood up gracefully to leave. "Thank you for this memorable dinner," she said politely.
"You are welcome dear," Elizabeth smiled towards her.

"It has been a lovely evening. Thank you all. " Luna turned to leave, making her way to the door. Elias followed her to the front doors. He resisted his urge to embrace or kiss her. Don't be a fool, Elias, don't ruin everything in between you by rushing into things. Don't ever forget her secret....I need to let things develop with time, to let her to become comfortable with me....

"It has been a lovely day," Elias smiled, not really wanting her to leave but he could not force her to stay. She also needs time for herself, and I don't want to be a nuisance to her.. "Time went so fast today, it always does when moments are the most enjoyable," he commented quietly before bidding her good night. "Sweet dreams dear."

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

"Time went so fast today, it always do when moments are the most enjoyable," Elias said quietly before bidding her good night.

"I agree." she said with a small smile, "Farewell." She turned away from him, and he opened the door for her. She walked out the door, and vanished into smoke as soon as her shoe touched the bottom step. She appeared in her own bedroom at her manor, and appreciated that smoke manipulation was more accurate than apparition.

"Anything of interest?" Nagini said after a moment.

"Not really. We did play some lovely music, though. "

She washed, and got to bed early, waking up at five.

"It's still so early." she said as she looked out the window. The sun hadn't even risen, yet. She got ready, and took out her disguise mirror. Her hair was put up into an elegant bun, changing from black to dark brown, and her eyes from forest green to light blue. Her face changed shape slightly, and she added a bit of weight to her body, so that she wasn't as bony as before, but normal-looking. She took a picture of herself, and placed it into the ID card. She changed her name to Eve Blackwood, wrote that she was a half-blood, although she winced as she wrote it, thinking that a pure-blood would stand out. Finally, she wrote her age; 21."That should do it." she smiled as she pinned the ID card to her long black coat. Under the coat, she wore an elegant top, and a knee-length black skirt. Tall black boots complimented the outfit nicely, and she was happy she had the mirror. She checked her map, and located the Wizarding entrance into the Ministry. She smoked just outside the gate, then walked in as if she did it every day. She flashed her ID casually at the nearest drowsy guard, and kept walking, gaining confidence. She entered, and rather than going to the Auror office, she went to Elias's. Checking her watch, she realized it was still only half past five. In that case, I'll simply wait for him. I doubt he arrived this early for something as insignificant as paperwork. She didn't bother knocking when she reached his door, but simply conjured a chair. She sat down, and made herself invisible until he arrived. She amused herself by asking her spying mirror to see each employee on the list Elias had given her. Most where still asleep, but the ones who where awake often where found in comical situations.

 

[Hikari Chan]

Elias woke up at seven o'clock the next morning. He showered quickly and treated himself with a delicious breakfast before going to work. But instead for going immediately to his office he went to a grand room where he was about to attend a meeting with other employees for about one hour. His father was already there, preparing. And he noticed that some representatives from other countries had been invited to the meeting, one of them was Miss Blanc. She was wearing a black jacket with a pencil skirt, black pumps and a hat. Her lips were annoying red, and she was wearing white pearls. At exactly eight o'clock the meeting started and finished at nine o'clock. As soon as it was over, Elias left immediately to his office. He ignored the clicking heels which were following him. She greeted him when he was about to unlock the door to his office.

"Bon matin (Good morning) Monsieur Elia," she greeted gaily.

"Morning.." he replied curtly, not turning fully towards her to avoid her awkward way of greeting.

And on she started to chatter with him, half in English with French accent and half in French, for almost one hour until Elias had to interrupt her politely.

"You have to excuse me, but I am at work today.." and you are just wasting my time...

He shut the door sternly behind him. Miss Blanc sighed. "Il est tellement occupé (He is so busy).." She spoke to herself as she gracefully walked away.

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

Luna put the list and her spy mirror away, since several failed attempts at reading the lips of the representatives was no fun anyway. If only my mirror displayed sound as well. . . She saw Elias walking toward his office, and she stood up and vanished her chair, still invisible. She was surprised to see Miss Blanc, who she recognized from her chat with Aislynn, who was chatting happily to Elias. She smirked as she saw the annoyed look on his face, telling her all she needed to know about his relationship with Miss Blanc. She pressed flat against the wall, so that Elias walked past her, barely missing her. Miss Blanc followed him, and he nearly hit her in the face as he closed the door to his office. She waited until Miss Blanc walked away, then an extra minute to be safe. Finally, she made herself visible again, and straightened her clothing before knocking lightly on Elias's office door, three times. When I get back, I will tell Aislynn about Elias and Miss Blanc. I am certain she will find it . . . interesting. The odds are, their relationship was similar back at Hogwarts.

 

[Hikari Chan]

Elias had barely started with his paperwork when he suddenly heard someone knocking lightly three times at his door. It first made him a little mad as he thought Miss Blanc was disturbing him, but then he got a strange feeling that he had heard this kind of knocking before. Could it be...Luna knocked exactly like that when she came to my place yesterday.... He rose up quickly and opened the door. He frowned when he did not recognize the woman, but then remembered that he had given Luna a better possibility to enter the Ministry of Magic. If it's her, then she must be disguised....

"Come in..," he spoke quietly and then closed the door. He locked it and cast a charm towards it to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. He conjured a chair so that his visitor could sit in front of him as he took his place behind his desk.

"Yes?.." I'll pretend that I do not know, just in case, what if the woman in front of me is not really Luna who has disguised herself. I must not show to anyone that I am an active deatheater who supports Miss Lestrange...

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

"Good Morning, Elias." Luna said, changing into her normal appearance. She had been holding her disguise mirror behind her back to have that effect. "Lovely to see you, again. "

 

[Hikari Chan]

"Good morning dear," Elias smiled warmly. He rose up from his place, bowed gracefully for her and then sat down again. "Perhaps I should try to get you a position in the same floor as me hehe, an office beside mine?" he teased her.

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

"That would be ideal." she said, thought she took it seriously. "Now-" she stood up "I would like one more thing from you before I am off. " she paused, and opened her bag. She pulled out a nicely packaged gift, which was square, and two inches thick. "Here is a lunch for you." she replied kindly "I placed a spell upon it from a trustworthy book. . . to keep it hot until opened." she smiled. I know you like fish and vegetables, with that lovely sauce, because we've had it before. What a surprise you will get. "I'll be off. Farewell." she turned to leave, and he undid the enchantments as she changed back. He opened the door for her, and she walked out calmly. She then left, walking toward the elevator. She pressed the button for level two, and waited patiently.

 

[Hikari Chan]

Elias smirked at her reply. I hope she did not take it to seriously, because sadly there's no any vacant position for her here hehe, and so much better..I want her to long for me constantly..

Now-" Luna spoke as she stood up "I would like one more thing from you before I am off. " she paused, and opened her bag.

"Yes?" Elias looked curiously at her.

She pulled out a nicely packaged gift, which was square, and two inches thick. "Here is a lunch for you." she replied kindly "I placed a spell upon it from a trustworthy book. . . to keep it hot until opened." she smiled.

"Oh..." he smiled surprisingly. "Thank you so much dear. I appreciate it." He placed the package of lunch aside at his desk.

"I'll be off. Farewell." Luna turned to leave, and Elias undid the enchantments as she changed back.
"Take care," he smiled charmingly as he opened the door for her.

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

Luna spent the afternoon at the Auror Office, which was headed by Harry Potter. She secretly relished seeing him so worried and busy following the false leads she placed for him. She then went to an outdoor Wizarding grocery store, which was located within two miles of her home. She usually went there for ingredients. She then went home, and cooked a lunch similar to Elias's. When it was ready, she conjured a patronus "Hello, Aislynn. I have made a lovely lunch, if you care to join me. I hope you like grilled salmon, potatoes, and buttered vegetables." she finished cheerfully. She sent it to Aislynn, and Nagini came down to greet Luna, who gave her a lovely raw steak she had bought. Nagini thanked her, and went outside to eat it in peace. Luna was finishing up a lemonade as Aislynn walked down the steps leading to the kitchen.

"Good afternoon, Aislynn." Luna said politely as she served them their food. "I hope you slept well?"

 

[Hikari Chan]

Aislinn was going through her closet when she received Luna's Patronus message:

Hello, Aislynn. I have made a lovely lunch, if you care to join me. I hope you like grilled salmon, potatoes, and buttered vegetables.

Aislinn who was feeling very hungry, left her clothes in a mess and went down to the kitchen.

"Good afternoon, Aislynn." Luna said politely as she served the food. "I hope you slept well?"

"Hello," Aislinn grinned. "Thank you, of course as usual hehe.......oohh yuuummm" She at down at the table.

 

[Junko Natsumizaka]

"Hello," Aislinn grinned. "Thank you, of course as usual hehe.......oohh yuuummm" She sat down at the table.Good, she likes it. That would be odd is she didn't. They sat down to eat, and Luna told her about how Elias had 'recruited' her as an Auror in the Ministry, and what she had witnessed between Miss Blanc and Elias that morning. She didn't leave out anything, and didn't go on and on like Lily. She finished talking before they were done, and then summoned a book from her bedroom. The title read "Household Spells for Ease and Convenience." She placed it beside Aislynn's plate at the table, and once she had read the cover, Luna spoke "That is the reason it is so tidy around here." she gestured to the room around them. "I don't like House Elves, and don't mind doing things myself. I have another book for cooking, but I thought you may want to borrow this one, since you were doing a bit of organizing upstairs." she smiled.I hope she finds it useful. I remember when I used to fold clothing the Muggle way, before I got this book. Luna knew that she had been organizing her closet, thanks to a quick reference to her Spy Mirror.

 

[Hikari Chan]

"Oh woaaahh...." was Aislinn's first reaction when she heard the whole story by Luna. Then she burst out in laughter. It was not only interesting but hilarious indeed that Miss Blanc was still chasing Elias.

"I have a feeling that Miss Blanc has a strong will and perhaps she will never give up until she get what she want. I remember her as a calm, polite and graceful girl with manners and etiquettes. She is also a very pompous and proud person. She is kind of......she is...like another Elias. What you told me now must mean that she still loves him since the first time they met and that she has not given up on him yet. But he does not love her back and I think it is because he might find her to pushy perhaps of her way to greet with others, you know how French people greet, I do not think that he does not understand that, but on the other hand he is English, he might find her way of greeting very awkward. Though there could be other reasons to why he does not love her.....I do not know......" Aislinn said thoughtfully and then her face twisted in a wry smirk.
"Use it Luna....make a good use of it....you know....well I have no idea myself...but have fun..." she burst out in laughter once again.

Luna summoned a book and placed it beside her table. Aislinn glanced at the title, still laughing.

"That is the reason it is so tidy around here." Luna gestured to the room around them. "I don't like House Elves, and don't mind doing things myself. I have another book from cooking, but I thought you may want to borrow this one, since you where doing a bit of organizing upstairs." she smiled.

"Thank you for this book" Aislinn said politely when she had calmed down after laughing so hard. "I am actually used to do some things without magic, though I'll give this a try."
