Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cyrus led the way into the eating area, a large room with grand windows looking onto a lawn leading to dense trees. He like his privacy very much. Sitting on the table situated in front of the windows were two cups, one of tea and the other of coffee, of course a bowle of sugar and a small pitcher of cream accompanied the cups.

"You know me," Cyrus remarked sitting down at the table, "I enjoy my peace and quiet, besides I think I'm a few years too late to be wooing fair maidens. It's a life of study and tranquility for me. But enough about me, what have you been doing these past few years?"

He offered Damon a seat, the chair moving with the motion of his hand.

Belico ended up giving Pelly a makeover, tieing him down to a chain...and not letting him go. She went to the kitchen and sighed. "I...am...bored..."

"Well, it sounds like you've had quite an experience." He said plesantly.

While he listened he dropped a dab of suger into his cup and stirred his tea slowly twirling one finger as the spoon seemed to move by itself.

"I've heard those Yank schools can be a bit trying. Blew up the potions class did she? I can't imagine..."

He paused as a small peice of parchment appeared in front of him, scribbled on the parchment was a small note from Brych.

Master told Brych to remind master, little master's eleventh birthday is coming up four weeks from today.

Cyrus looked at the note then closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

"Not really a problem..." he said slowly, Alex had slipped his mind for a long time, the boy was only a memory to him...

Back ten years ago Cyrus had taken care of his parents who, despite his warnings had come to work for the ministry in Britain. Enraged he had gone to their cottage and slain them, this of course during the end of the dark lord's first reign. He was about to leave the house when he discovered an infant in the bedroom...their vain attempt at starting over in a new country. He had taken the boy from the cottage and left him with his relatives...now that Cyrus thought about it they were his aunt and uncle on their father's side. A kind pair who'd sworn to take care of the boy and had no idea what Cyrus was up to.

"My brother is to begin at Hogwarts when the summer ends..." he smiled again and took a sip of his tea, "I suppose I'll have to go introduce myself."

He took another long sip before chuckling, "Sounds like she's just as wild as you were back in school. Just what did she use to get the desired effect? Or dd you ask?"

Belico snorted. "Pelly...get yoru a** over here!"

"I'm sure the situation will be resolved, I think you mentioned something about keeping her home for the summer? I imagine you have a plan to steer her towards a favorable attitude?"

He finished his tea and set the cup down on the table, a plate of toast and a small jar of jam had appeared while they were talking. He took this chance to spead some jam on a particularly brown peice and take a bite. After he had finished chewing he continued.

"As for Alex...hmm I haven't thought of him for a long time. He's been so far away after all."

Damon again and yawned slightly, he was still tired from the night before. "For starters I kicked my wife and my grubby son out of the house. They were... bad influences on her. I haven't completely formulated a plan as of yet but I have some idea's in mine. I also thought maybe it was time she knew who here real mother was. You remeber Anna Malfoy don't you? Lucius's sister, well she's Lilly's mother. She's been in Azkaban for eleven years now."

"So where exactly is this brother of your anyway?"

Pelly jumped and backed up from Belico. "Miss Pelly doesn't know what to give you to play with. Pelly... could find a book... Yes... Master Damon has many books in his study... How about a book Miss?"
