Summary: Libra hopes her father will show up since Lily's did
Status: Complete



Not only had Lily's father shown up, but Lily's father's girlfriend had shown up. Lily had her grandparents, and Libra had ... no one. It was almost enough to make her want her mother to arrive.

Almost.

Dressing in snowpants over her jeans, boots on her feet, and several layers, Libra headed outside. She'd seen and heard about some of the people who'd gone down to Hell, and Vulture had promised her that the field was safe - the cracks were all sealed up.

So she wasn't too worried when she made the walk from the house to the field. She wasn't really sure what she was doing out here, save that she sort of thought maybe if she stood out there and wished for her father to arrive ... he would.

It was stupid, and she knew it was stupid, but she did it anyway.

After a bit, she gave up staring at the barn and wishing. Slipping her wand out of her sleeve, she started to practice some spells just for something to do.

"Yes," Libra admitted as she slipped off her boots before shrugging off her jacket. "There was kind of a ... bit of information swap. There are a lot of different people here. Types of people, I mean. Different sorts of magic and even people from different planets."

That still baffled her, but she tried not to think too much about it.

Gesturing for him to make himself comfortable, she started for the kitchen to make some tea. He could probably use it.

"So what year are you from? I'm from 2026, Vulture's from 2025, and the others, you know, the ones that died, are from their proper times. Not ours."

"Different planets?" He asked, sounding baffled. He was pretty curious about the different sorts of magic; that sounded really interesting. Different planets sounded ... strange. "Do they look like us or are they... I don't know, green?"

He grinned, knowing the question was dumb, but what were the odds really that someone from a different planet would look just like humans?

"I'm from 2025," he answered slowly, furrowing his brow. "So you're... from the future. Well, my future." Just when he thought it couldn't get any weirder, look at that, it totally did.

Libra nodded. "She says she used to be blue and a lot taller, but ... she changed when she came through. I guess ... her actual body wouldn't have survived here. Different atmosphere. Humans couldn't survive on her planet, so it makes sense," she continued.

"Just a bit," she agreed to his 'future' point. "I ... I finally made up with my mom. After she officially ... disowned Narcissa. My parents moved to France, so I spent breaks with you and Scorpius." She paused. "Not much else really changed. You two are still good friends and working and the like."

He sat down belatedly, making himself comfortable -- as comfortable as he could get in such a weird situation, at least. He kicked off his shoes, shifting a little to face her. "I wonder what sort of magic could know to change her body to suit our planet," he mused, not really expecting her to have an answer.

Listening to her describe what was going on from when she was from, he smiled, "I'm glad to hear that. When is Lily ... my sister, I mean ... when is she from, do you know?"

It must be weirder for the folks way from the past, but it was still bizarre for him to think about Libra being from a time that hadn't happened for him.

"Closer to my time, I think. She's just out of school. Noah's here, too, so she hasn't been alone. I mean, not that ... she'd be alone, but you know what I mean," Libra said, even as she wasn't precisely sure what she meant.

"No one knows what kind of magic it is, exactly, but they at least know how it happened. The ... one of the native to here witches breaking out of hell tore up reality, somehow."

Setting the tea things on a tray, Libra carried it out and set it on the coffee table. "They're working on ways to get us back. The ... government's supposed to be doing things out there, now, but ..." she shrugged.

"I don't think they'll figure it out."

"Well, good," he murmured, glad that Lily hadn't been stuck here by herself. It was just so weird to think that any of them were here at all, and he wondered if they went missing back home. He didn't think he would know, since they were from a time he hadn't experienced yet.

"Maybe my dad will figure it out," he suggested hopefully, thanking her for the tea and then fixing himself a cup. His father had done all sorts of things in his life, surely figuring out how to get them home from some strange reality wasn't outside of his abilities.

"At least the houses seem nice?" He offered with a little smile, shrugging his shoulders as he tried to make the best of it.

"Maybe," Libra offered, though she'd been here too long to believe that. If the people already working on it hadn't figured it out by now ... she didn't think that his dad, brilliant though he might be, would be the one to crack the case. But she didn't want to shoot him down, either.

"They're nice enough," she agreed. "If you can put up with your house mates." A wry smile pulled at her lips before she shrugged. "But all things considered, it's nice for them to give us a place to stay." Libra hesitated. "If you wanted ... I mean, this one's full, but you could stay in my room for a little while, if you wanted. Until you decided on a house of your own."

Maybe he'd want to stay with his dad or with his sister.

Albus considered for a moment, but if Lily had Noah and his dad had Fell, he didn't really want to impose on any of them. Though he imagined he could have gotten his own room in one of their houses.

"Yeah, I'd like that," he agreed before he grinned, "if you can put up with me."

He did wonder what Scorpius would think if he showed up, but Al was just trying to look after her, of course. So surely Score would be pleased.

"Oh. No, you're right. I didn't take into consideration that I'd have to put up with you ..." Libra shook her head slightly.

"Though I suppose I could manage it for a few days," she decided. She gestured slightly. "When you're done with your tea, I can ... show you my room. You can probably borrow some of Vulture's clothes until you can get more of your own," she continued thoughtfully.

"And I'm sure your dad and Lily will want to see you," she added as an afterthought.

The idea of wearing Vulture's cloths was probably more amusing than it should have been. Everything was sort of amusing, actually, and he was pretty sure that was just because nothing was really sinking in yet.

"You can show me now," he decided, taking a last sip of his tea before setting it back onto the tray.

He pushed up to his feet, glancing around once more before he nodded, "Yeah, maybe. If they have the time," he agreed teasingly.

"Sure," she agreed. Setting her cup down as well, she rose and headed for the stairs. A grin tugged at her lips at his teasing before she shook her head. "If they have time," she agreed. "I mean, your sister has been pretty busy lately ..."

Libra arched her brows before she laughed quietly. Heading up the stairs, she passed the other rooms until she reached hers. Pushing the door open, she gestured around. "Ta-da."

It wasn't much, but it was tidy.

"I don't really want to think about my sister being busy," he replied teasingly as he followed her upstairs. It was still sort of weird, thinking about his younger sister having a serious relationship, but really he was happy for her.

Once they were in her room, he glanced around appreciatively and grinned, "Impressive," he murmured as he stepped further inside.

Libra snorted slightly at his reaction. She had bathrooms at the Manor that were bigger than this. But ... for a free room in a Muggle house, it really wasn't so bad.

"So I suppose it wouldn't win me any points to go on and share that she's busy more often than not, yeah?" Libra grinned slightly before she shrugged, leaning against a wall. "Suppose if I had a boyfriend, I'd be happy if he showed up here." Though she wasn't quite sure she'd be ... busy with him so often. All things considered.

He arched a brow at her, attempting to look solemn before he grinned, "No, no points at all," he confirmed as he moved further into the room and sat on the edge of the bed.

"But I'm glad she hasn't been here alone, even if she's doing things that are mentally disturbing and gross to me," he blew out a sigh, trying to get his thoughts in order.

"I think ... I want a shower," he decided, thinking that might give him some time to organize his thoughts and let some of this sink in. "They do have showers here, right?" He asked, mostly teasing.

"Across the hall," Libra said with a gesture. "There's a half bath downstairs. I didn't even know what one of those was until I came here. It's missing a tub. I suppose that's why it's only a half."

Libra smirked a little. "Well, with half your family here now ... she'll be even less alone. Besides, there's nothing gross about snogging," she teased. She wasn't really getting into the shagging bit; she was still remarkably skittish in that regard.

His lips twitched into a little grin as she spoke about not knowing what a half bath was. Of course the Malfoys would only have full bathrooms. No halfblood bathtubs for them.

"It's gross when it's your little sister doing it," he retorted as he pushed up to his feet. "Are you gonna be in here when I'm done?" He asked, wanting to know where to find her when he finished with his shower.

Libra bobbed her head in a nod. "I'll see about getting you a house. And letting your family know you've arrived. They'll likely want to have dinner with you or something like that."

With that said, she slipped out her blackberry to start on the messages she'd said she'd deliver.

"Thanks, Libra," he smiled softly to her, squeezing her shoulder gently as he passed her. Finding the bathroom, he let himself in and set about taking a shower, hoping this would make more since somehow.
