RP: Alastor, Jamie
Who: Alastor Moody, James Sirius Potter
Where: Ministry of Magic, Jamie's office
When: Wednesday, 17 November, 2025 -- morning
Summary: Alastor has to tell Jamie about his sister and niece.
The sun wasn't yet halfway in it's climb toward the day's zenith an already Alastor had had a long morning. Marlene had notified him as soon as she was informed and the two of them had made sure the situation at the hospital was contained before word could leak to the press or the public.
Death in the weeks following a war, the week after a permanent government was reinstalled, wasn't a complete surprise, especially when there were likely still a few death eaters at large to be tracked down. Murder suicide was more rare, but Alastor had seen worse.
But, the newly appointed Minister's teen-aged niece, who was related to half the government, killing herself and her newborn daughter, that was something that even got to a stoic like Alastor.
Doubly so when it was the sister of a young man Alastor had come to respect and almost call friend. Though he would have been glad to let Marlene handle the news, take over as the person who had to make these calls, he owed it to Jamie after everything they'd been through to be the one to tell him the news.
When he got to Jamie's office, Alastor sighed before knocking for admittance, knowing no matter how much it should come from him, he was still very bad at these things. He waited to be granted admittance and then closed the door behind him, a silent spell ensuring they wouldn't be overheard by any curious persons outside the room. "Morning." He couldn't say the 'good' in preface to that greeting. Too much of a lie. "I apologise if I'm interrupting anything, but this couldn't wait."
