RP: Alastor and Charlie
Who: Alastor Moody, Charlie Weasley
Where: Ministry of Magic, Charlie's office
When: Wednesday, 18 November, 2025 - morning
Summary: Alastor doesn't give up as easily as some might think.
Alastor hadn't stopped thinking about his conversation with his brother the night before. Talking it over a bit with Marlene when he first got home had helped. But, he hadn't wanted to rehash out all the details -- more, he really just wanted to apologise now that he understood what he had put her through nine months earlier. And, as much as he loved Marlene, there were some things she couldn't help with simply because of his brother's dislike of her.
While he hoped that would change with time, he wasn't going to push his luck where his brother was concerned just now. Callum could be just as stubborn as any other Moody, perhaps even more than Alastor himself. Pushing was a sure way of getting him to dig his heels in.
Alastor needed to be a tactician for this one.
And his first stop in determine the proper strategy was Charlie Weasley. Alastor had no intentions of meddling in his brother's love life. If Cal had given him the whole story, they were both acting like a couple of cowardly idiots who gave up at the first sign of trouble. But, he needed to get a better of lay of how things were from both points of view before he could decide on a course of action.
He might love his brother, but there were sometimes when a little logical planning never hurt.
Alastor had to keep his skills sharp somehow!
As soon as he had a break in his reports and meetings for the morning, Alastor made his way to Charlie's office, knocking briskly, though he waited for admittance before opening the door. "Good morning, Charlie. Wonder if I might have a few words with you."
