when; Sunday June 13, One PM

Things may have been different at Azkaban Prison under Minister Shacklebot's administration, but that didn't mean that when Daphne and Percy showed up for their appointment to see her father, that they didn't need to be thoroughly searched. First they had to hand over their wands, and Daphne, her handbag. Next came a search for any dark artifacts hidden on their persons, and then a search for Muggle weapons. Daphne even had to remove all of her jewelry. It made her feel violated to be searched, even though she had come to see him before and she knew what to expect.

Cleared by security, they were lead down a long hallway to the visiting area, and then into a small room with two uncomfortable looking chairs, which was split by a wall down the center, made half of metal bars. They guard who brought them here told them to wait, and that Mr Greengrass would be coming in a few minutes. He went to stand outside of the door way in the hall.

"He doesn't cause trouble in here," Daphne told Percy as they waited. Her head was tilted down a little, and Daphne looked defeated. There may not have been Dementors in Azkaban anymore, but Daphne could still feel them there. Or, perhaps, it was just the idea of seeing her father in Azkaban robes again that made her feel so low. "No one's been able to visit Alcide for a while, because he's always causing some kind of mayhem here," she finished. It was her way of explaining why they were able to come to see her father. "I wish I could put more lipstick on."

Used to regulations and protocol, Percy had no problems with security searching his person. In fact, he went to the prison dressed simply on purpose, knowing he would be searched. It wasn't anything personal, it was for the safety of everybody involved. Percy never had a reason to visit anybody in prison before, and frankly, for a while, the prison didn't accept visitors at all.

The uncomfortable, joy-draining feeling that Daphne experienced wasn't only in her mind; Percy felt it too, but made no indication that he had. It wasn't a pleasant location. Sensing Daphne's unease and depression, he rested his hand upon hers, trying to encourage and support her. "Your lipstick looks wonderful," he said soothingly, and it was, which was why he knew her comment was prompted was nervousness. "I know your father will be happy to see you. Are you able to write to Alcide, at least?"

"He's been in seclusion for a while, so it's been a few weeks," Daphne told Percy, her voice small. It was right after his wife had written to him that Daphne was seeing a Weasley that it had happened. Daphne knew this, but she wouldn't mention it. At least Daphne's father didn't have such an issue with it. Or so Daphne thought.

Emerson came in then, dressed in Azkaban robes that looked like they had been worn many times, but they were clean. Despite being in prison, he still wanted to look presentable; he had some facial stubble, but it was minimal, and his hair looked clean and like it had been recently cut. He wasn't going to let himself go to shit, like some of the other prisoners did. He also wore handcuffs, and the way he shuffled his feet said his ankles were chained as well.

He sat down on the chair on the other side of the wall, and looked at his daughter for a moment, and then at her Weasley boyfriend. Emerson wondered what Daphne saw him in, and decided right then that his daughter must have completely lost her mind. Certainly, he had written to his wife about the issue, but Daphne had brought him to see him... This Weasley must be different than all of the other men she associated with and he didn't like it.

No. This certainly wouldn't do.

Emerson looked at Daphne again, and he gave her a very warm and very loving smile. He may not have approved of her boyfriend, but she was still his daughter and he still loved her very much. "You are growing up so beautifully, Queenie," he said to her.

And then Daphne completely broke down in tears.

Emerson looked at Percy again. "I'd do it, but..." He gestured to the bars which separated them. He tilted his head back then and looked up at the ceiling, not wanting to see him comfort her. As far as he was concerned, Percy Weasley wasn't even good enough to breath the same air as Daphne, let alone touch her. But he didn't want Daphne to cry so he had no other choice.

	Emerson attempted to cross his arms against his chest too, but was prevented from doing so by the handcuffs. So, instead, he conceded to clasp his hands on the table in front of him instead. "Tell me. If the situation were reversed, would you approve of me dating your daughter?" Emerson asked, cocking his head a little to the side. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The difference, sir, is that you are a convicted criminal, a Death Eater. How much do you know of be, beyond my family name?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's all I need to know about you," Emerson replied coolly, giving Percy a false smile. He was just as stubborn as Daphne was, if not more so. "Now, tell me something else. What does your family think of her? Certainly she wasn't welcomed with open arms since I am, as you say, a Death Eater." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There was a pause where he glanced down and wrinkled his brow momentarily as he gathered his thoughts. "I am seriously considering asking for her hand in marriage." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
