Front Yard

Eirina sat in her front yard, staring at the overgrown plants and weeds, trying to figure out what to do with them.

Eirina looked up and smiled, nodding her head and disapparating.

*Madison apparated at the door, her broken arm limply hanging and causing lots of pain as she knocked on the door with her free hand, which was carrying the wand of another. After that, she grasped her ripped shirt so she would not be so revealing. Though she had acted bravely back in that basement, she was feeling weak and feeble once again*

Eirina walked out and smiled at seeing Professor Reid, but then turned quickly to shock when she noticed what was actually going on.

"Holy-, what happened?!"

Eirina took out her wand and started healing spells.

*Madison quickly shook her head*

"Don't bother! Where's the letter?"

"Uhhm, why? It's at Hogwarts..."

Eirina looked at Madison curiously.

*Madison looked away guiltily*

"I know what its for... It reveals how to bring back Voldemort."

*She looked back to Eirina desperately*

"We have to destroy it as soon as possible!"

"It is safe at Hogwarts, so there is no worry. It was the sole copy, correct?"

"Well... I made a copy of the parselmouth portion..."

*Madison lowered her gaze and sighed*

"I'm such an idiot..."

Eirina tried to contain herself a bit.

"And where is that version?"

"Leader of the Death Eaters..."

*Madison wiped her eyes with her functioning hand. She had no right to excuse herself. She had set out foolishly to try and do something good, and wound up letting fear take over and ruin everything*

"Do you know what the parseltongue protion said, at least?"

"Tyler only said it was to bring back Voldemort...."

Meaning my grandfather was scum.

*She still refused to hold eye contact. She was far too ashamed with herself. She tried to think clearly*

"Perhaps it was an incantaion of some sort..."

"The information he has is fine, a bit relavant but it is okay. You and everyone should be just fine for the time being."

*Madison remained silent for a long time, before speaking*

"So... what should I do now?"

*she asked in a shaky voice, looking to Eirina*

"You can either stay here, or you can go home. Just don't ever let your guard down and keep sheild and protective charms up, always."

*Madison gave a curt nod, then looked over her shoulder*

"I'll just go home. I don't want to bother you any further."

*she wanted some company, but she hardly felt she deserved it. She turned and readied her wand, stopping a moment when her broken arm caused her pain*

"Let me fix all of those first, Madison."

Eirina walked over and pulled out her wand, mending her broken arm.

*Madison nodded greatfully*

"Thank you."

*she then added hesitantly*

"I promise I won't do anything reckless again. But I'll let you know if I learn anything."

*And with that, Madison turned and disapparated*

(sorry about that!)
Eirina opened her door and nodded her head, trying to pretend to pull herself together.

"Thank you, Emile. I can handle it from here, have a nice night, okay? I apologize for today as well."

(Don't be!)

Emile nodded slowly, perfectly unconvinced by the mask she had set. But, he knew he had overstepped his welcome. If she felt as if she didn't need his attention any more - didn't want his attention - then Emile would be obliged to leave.

"There is no need to apologise, Eirina," he said gently. "Prendre soin. Take care of yourself, please. I bid you adieu, for now."

Eirina smiled and nodded, thanking him once more before walking inside.
