Walburga had taken the time she felt she needed (without seeming to take too much time, mind) before heading downstairs to find Alphard. Her posture was perfect, her expression calm. She'd spent the time upstairs steeling herself for what might happen, for what she was sure would happen. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest and it was all she could do to remind herself to breathe. Of all the things Walburga never wished to talk to Alphard about or have Alphard at all aware of, this was the biggest and the worst. It had been painful for her to hear and think and feel and she still hadn't sorted it out. All she knew was that in the future, she must have lost her heart entirely or maybe Alphard just took it with him. But here? No, here, she knew it was still there because it was aching. True, she didn't share her heart with just anyone and it was Draco and then later Sirius who had pushed this pain on her and so she had no intention of apologising.
Her eyes closed for a moment as she paused at the bottom of the stairs. A breath in, a breath out...and she walked into the room. "I hope you remembered to grab the scotch," she said quietly. Scotch was honestly a habit she'd picked up from Orion. No, she did not drink nearly as much as he did, but it proved useful and somehow he always managed to stay calm because of it. She didn't offer a smile like she usually would, because there was really nothing happy about the news she had to offer and she didn't think she could summon up the effort to smile. Not when she needed all of her energy to keep from breaking down.
Briefly, she lifted her eyes to her brother's face. "Are you sure - Positively, absolutely sure you want to know?"
