Episodes (Isaac/Bella/Safira)

"Well, keep mum in the dark about this, but they don't allow mails to inmates in Azkaban, and only the seldom deathbed visit for high-ranking ministry people." said Isaac. "If you actually send any of those letters the guards would throw them out." He hated to bring this kind of news to Vivienne, but he knew she would be able to handle it, and not tell their mother. Besides, he knew that Vivienne, like Safira and himself, was not terribly fond of Draco.

Vivienne smiled devilishly. "Well, luckily, I've never sent daddy dearest a single letter. I somehow start... Drawing. You saw the one on my bedside. Mother never comes out of her room long enough to actually 'see' me send it." She replied. She placed her hands in her lap and grinned at Isaac triumphantly. Isaac was a prankster himself, although it had been a long time since he had the time. She knew Isaac was very busy with the wedding plans for him and Gabriella.

"Yeah, I did," said Isaac. "You're pretty good at it you know, with a bit of practice you could be a really excellent artist." The train did not feel as if it were going very fast to him, perhaps because he had drove the fancy sports car to the station faster. The train pulled to a rolling stop in the station, Isaac could hear the brakes screeching until it came to a complete stop. The doors opened and Isaac allowed Vivienne to leave the train before he did.

Vivienne got off the train then waited for Isaac. She took his hand, smiling. Her brother was full of compliments, but never had he said something about her art. She kept quiet however, for she was very modest. She let Isaac direct her in whatever direction they needed to go. Finally, she spoke. "How's Gabriella? It's been a very long time since I've been out of the Manor long enough to see her." She asked.

[malfoy]

"Gabby's fine," said Isaac, with the typical amount of articulateness from the response of a male. "She seems a bit stressed with the plans, but she should be much happier when it's over." Isaac pulled open the door to the Leaky Cauldron and held it for his younger sister. Once they had reached the wall, Isaac whipped out his wand and then tapped the appropriate brick thrice. Then, like a giant puzzle, the bricks twisted and turned until they formed a gateway to Diagon Alley. Since it was early afternoon, not many others were there, mostly elderly witches comparing prices at different kiosks.

Vivienne followed along behind her brother peacefully. She adored Diagon Alley. Everything was so fantastic to her. Magic was a wonderful thing. That's why she couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts. She had been counting down to her eleventh birthday since she was 7. It was like a dream come true to her. The duo made their way to the Fortiscue's.

Isaac opened the door to the ice cream parlour for his sister, the place had great atmosphere, it was old-fashioned and the selections of ice cream were vast. There were the normal ones like strawberry and chocolate, but they got as diverse as Indian curry and Shoofly pie. Of course, Isaac would not eat anything, unless they decided to get blood-flavoured or something, but until then, he would hold off on human sweets. "You can get whatever you want," said Isaac.

Vivienne pressed her nose against the glass. She finally chose a simple flavor; cherry delight. The girl behind the counter smiled and handed her a bright red ice cream atop a wonderfully cut waffle cone, then said a few words to Isaac. She couldn't make them out, so she ignored them. She allowed Isaac to lead her to a high table. She had to be picked up by her brother to be able to sit down, but she knew Isaac didn't mind.

[malfoy]

Isaac paid the lady behind the counter, this time using the currency he was most familiar with. He then helped Vivienne up on the tall chair. He got up with ease on his chair, and then lightly drummed his fingers on the counter top. "What do you honestly think of Gabriella?" asked Isaac. He wanted to be sure his siblings were cool with her. He already knew that she and Safira got along very well, but he was not sure about Bella and Vivienne.

[choices]

Vivienne rolled her eyes. She knew this question was coming sooner or later. Isaac didn't have good ties with Bellatrix, and so he believed each sister hated him. "You know exactly what I think of Gabby. She's perfect. Now will you stop fussing and let me eat my ice cream!" she laughed. She began licking ice cream off of the cone, all the while watching her brother. "You really need to be sure of yourself Izzy. She is a Weasley, but I love her, and you love her." she replied finally.

[malfoy]

Isaac nodded, reassured. "Well, good to know not everyone in the family hates her." he said. He wanted to continue the topic, but he was not sure how to water it down for a ten-year-old. Sure, Isaac knew that Vivienne was highly mature for his age, but she was still a kid, who was Isaac to ruin it for her with "grown-up" talk? He would let her enjoy her youth without having to get involved in her older brother's affairs.

Vivienne grimaced at his comment. It was true, most in her family didn't like Gabby. She believed that Safira liked her, but other than that she couldn't see anyone else. Her mother was probably too depressed to care, but Draco was another story. If he were to somehow get out of Azkaban and get word of his son's wedding, no doubt there would be chaos. He would probably find Gabriella and... well, the end result was to horrible to even think about. She ate her ice cream, hoping to get some of the scary thoughts out of her head.

[malfoy]

Isaac resumed drumming his fingers on the counter. Five years in Azkaban, his father had been arrested in January, four months down. He figured that he and Gabriella would have a home protected by a Fidelus charm, so Draco would not be able to find them. Have someone they both trusted to be their secret-keeper, Angel perhaps. Isaac decided that he would talk to Gabriella about it some other time.

[choices]

Vivienne finished off her ice cream and took the last bite of the cone. She patted her face with a napkin. She waited, not wanting to leave right away. Leaving meant going back home to mum. She didn't want to be around her when she was depressed... which was basically all the time. Vivienne was pretty much ignored on a regular basis, and she had grown with it enough to not mind.

[malfoy]

"Do you want to walk around for a bit?" asked Isaac, doubting that Vivienne would want to go home to their moping mother just then, even if the next train that would go to their stop wouldn't be at the station for another hour, and it took an hour and a half for the train to get to their station, plus the fifteen minute car ride. "We could get some treats for your owl or something," Isaac said.
