Re: Alicia and Adrian and OPEN
Adrian leaned into Alicia and kissed her hair. He'd been quiet today, he knew, since he'd met up with her and the twins, but he wasn't sure he should be part of the festivities, and feeling unsure wasn't something he had to deal with very often.
His family had ignored the anniversary for years, opting to hide out on the islands and not speak of it. After Voldemort had fallen, the Puceys first reaction was fear - did any of his followers know of Ryan's potions work? Would they speak? Would someone come and get them? But they also felt immense relief, Sear most of all having fallen in love with Muggle Will. Adrian had been happy Potter and the others had won, more happy than he'd ever really expressed - joy and excitement weren't in his usual repertoire after all - but he still felt as if he didn't belong here today. Had his father hurt some of these people? What did Alicia think about that? Had she?
He sighed, "It's a beautiful day, makes me wonder if the Ministry spelled the weather," he smiled small and sad, speaking into her hair.
