RP: Another Unhappy Homecoming
Date: 19 May 2006 Characters: Daphne Bletchley, Rodolphus Lestrange, Miles Bletchley Location: Greengrass Manor, Bletchley Manor Private/Public: Private Rating: PG Warnings: FreakedOut!Daphne Summary: Daphne heads to check on her father, and gets a bit of a surprise.
Daphne hadn't been able to push aside the bit of nagging guilt she felt for what had happened when she'd visited her father. She hadn't heard from him since she'd told him about Rodolphus' demands, and that was doing nothing to help quell her anxiety.
She was pretty sure that Miles could tell how she was feeling (as usual), but he hadn't brought it up yet, and for that she was thankful. But it still seemed to be effecting him, since he was spending a bit more time at the pub than usual, and he seemed to be experiencing his own weariness. She could only hope that he was reacting to her and not to his own problems. She didn't want to think that he was keeping something else from her. Their last misunderstanding had been embarassing enough.
However, this afternoon, it hadn't been too difficult to leave Miles with the boys. All she'd needed to do was mention that she was going home to see her mother and father about something, and he'd let the conversation go, more than happy to stay as far away from Aurelie as possible. Frankly, Daphne didn't blame him in the slightest. She wouldn't be risking seeing her mother either if it wasn't to fix things with her father.
The manor looked quieter than normal when she arrived (if that was possible), and she found herself involuntarily shivering as she knocked on the door.
