Since that damn article had been out Alicia had been freaking out, silently mostly, having mini panic attacks ever so often. She hoped Ryan would be fine, he was Adrian's child and that proved he was at least a halfblood but... she was adopted and she had no idea of where she came from. Halfblood? fullbood? muggleborn? She'd asked her mother and she had nothing, she could tell her nothing behind the name of the adoption agency and then Alicia would have to look into it herself. Which would have to wait. Her best friend needed her right now and for now that took precedent.
Ryan was safetly, she hoped, with her mother, fully warded and hopefully nothing would happen. She gave Katie a weak, tired smile as she entered instantly wrapping her best friend up in a hug, "lets go," she told her softly, pulling back though she took the other girls hand tightly in her own so they could apperate to the shop to fetch the boys.
While Alicia thought herself capable enough she was glad they were coming with them, she desperately wanted Katie's parents to be fine but it never hurt to take precautions. "You two ready?" She called as both women found solid ground, already steeling herself for whatever they may find.
