Alicia and Adrian and OPEN

Truth be told: Alicia didn’t remember much from the Final Battle. Bits and pieces, flashes of memories from here and there. Like Susan crying, the smile on Fred’s face, Oliver asking her why she was packing plush animals into her Healer bag, and the sight of a pile of biscuits on a platter in the middle of the rubble. What she did remember clearly, however, was the sense of purpose she had felt, that for once, in all of her grief and mourning she knew what to do and where to be. So it was with an odd sense of proud and melancholy nostalgia that she had arrived in Hogsmeade with Adrian and the twins.

Along with the twins, she had visited the gravesites of her friends, just like they had done every year since the war, and just like she had done on the 25th when they had gone to Daniel’s and Nigel’s graves. She had asked Adrian if he had wanted to come along, and had understood when he had opted out. It couldn’t be easy for him, she was sure of that, but hadn’t wanted to press him about it. Afterwards they had met up with Adrian and had Flooed to Hogsmeade together. It hadn’t taken long before the first of “her” kids had shown up to say ‘hello’ and fill her in on the latest news, and Alicia had enjoyed hearing it all and sending them off again, sometimes with a couple of Galleons if she knew them to be from families who couldn’t afford a whole lot. Several of them she had personally signed permission slips for in order for them to leave the school today, and every single one of them had thanked her for it.

One of the girls, a sixth year student and Ravenclaw Prefect had brought over three of her friends and had asked if they could go take Isla and Liam to look at the Winged Horses. Alicia had sent them off with her blessing and permission to go for a ride if that was something they wanted to do. Watching them head off, she laced her fingers through Adrian’s and rested her head against her shoulder.

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.

“I hope not,” Alicia said with a small scoff, though she was still smiling pensively. “They have entirely too much power as it is I’d hate to think they can control the weather as well.” She looked up at him, and instantly her smile turned warm and loving.

As hard as it was for her to be here today, both with the memories and the lack thereof and the loss of her friends and family, she believed it had to be harder for Adrian. Considering who his friends had been and some still were, she was certain that he had lost friends too, only despite the Ministry’s supposed efforts to honour everybody today, there just didn’t seem to be sent all that much official honour in the direction of those who had fallen while fighting on the side of Voldemort. Loss of life was always sad, but even Alicia had to admit that she hadn’t shed many tears for them… then again, she hadn’t known any of them other than by name. For Adrian, however, it had to be different, and with his family’s history…

She couldn’t be prouder of him for doing this or more grateful for going here with her if for no other reason than it meant something to her. “Let’s go get some coffee before we get swamped my teenagers again.”
