who; Percy, Daphne and (NPC) Emerson Greengrass
what; meeting her daddy
where; Azkaban
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."

Percy felt as though he didn't need to reply to Emerson again; of course he could make her happy, and he wasn't even going to acknowledge the skepticism with an answer. Percy rose from his seat when Daphne entered, held her hand and kissed her briefly upon the cheek.

"Would you like for me to step out for a bit to speak with your father, alone? Or shall I stay?"

"Step outside, please," Daphne answered, looking at Percy and looking at her father. She was still looking very satisfied, grinning in a kind of devious way, like she had just won something by cheating.

Daphne took her hand back and went to sit in the seat Percy had just vacated. As soon as he saw Percy step out of the room, Emerson bean trying to sway Daphne in another direction, mentioning 'that Quidditch man she used to date' and that 'wonderful Frenchman'. In truth, Emerson hated them both, even though he had met neither, but to him they were both better than Percy. Daphne would have none of it, though, and she could be heard saying, "Oh, please, daddy, do calm yourself before you have a stroke."

When the five minutes was up, the two Greengrass's said their goodbyes and 'I love you's, with Emerson making Daphne promise than she would visit him again soon, and warning her to 'Be careful'.

Daphne walked through the doorway, still grinning. "He's so adorable," she said to Percy, giggling a little. Despite the argument between her boyfriend and her father, Daphne was quite pleased with how it had turned out.

Unlike Daphne, Percy resisted listening into their private conversation. Irritated? Yes, but he'd get over it. He also wanted to hex Emerson, but supposed being locked up in Azkaban for life was punishment enough. He was in there for life, wasn't he? Percy couldn't remember at the moment, but decided to check to make sure and hope that there was no chance of parole.

Joining Daphne's side as they were escorted by a guard down the hall to the exit, Percy remained stoic. "Adorable is not the word I would've used to describe him, but he is your father." He offered his arm for her to hold as they walked. "I hope you won't be too terribly upset if I say that I don't like him."

	"He was a bit cranky today." Daphne took Percy's arm, holding onto it happily as they walked. "He's usually wonderful." And in Daphne's head, that was true. She didn't know Emerson Greengrass as a Death Eater. To Daphne, he would always just be 'daddy'. "I'm sure that if you had met him before the war that you would have loved him."

	Percy glanced over at Daphne, not sure if she was really joking or not, and getting the feeling that she wasn't, opted not to say anything further about her father. Clearly, she was attached and possibly couldn't see his faults through the eyes of a daughter's love. "I doubt that would be the case," Percy replied, soberly. "I was still a Weasley before the war."

	"Don't be so silly, matador." Yes, Daphne had a very hard time seeing any evil in her father, even though he was clearly, to anyone else, not a very good man at all. "He's not like Mr Malfoy." That was true, at least, if only because Mr Greengrass remained firm on his side when it seemed like the final battle would be lost. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Speaking with firm patience to get his point across, Percy replied, "You saw how he responded in there, when you were out of the room." And not supposed to be listening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I told you, he was cranky," Daphne reminded him just as they reached the security desk again. "You would be cranky too if you were stuck with these sorts of people all day and all night," she added, her voice beginning to get firm and impatient. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ignoring the warning signs, Percy insisted, "I believe that was more than being cranky, my dear." Had there not been bars between them Percy was convinced Emerson would've attacked his person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Daphne put her hands on her hips and stared with narrowed eyes at Percy, even though the security guard was trying to pass her things back to her. "Fine. Then say he doesn't like you." Her tone made it clear that she didn't believe him. "What do you expect me to do about it? Hm? Make him like you? According to you, that won't happen. Do you expect me not to speak to my father anymore?"

	Frowning back, Percy replied, "Your father does not like me. And I don't expect you to do anything about it, it's a simple statement of fact. Don't put words into my mouth. I would never tell you that you couldn't speak to your father, if you wanted to. I would just rather not be present when you do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Did I tell you to come with me again?" Percy had met her father once, and that was enough for Daphne. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, it's good that we got that cleared up and out of the way. The guard is trying to give you back your purse, Daphne." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know!" Daphne huffed, turning around to grab her things. She gave the guard a little smile in thank you, and then headed toward the exit, her previous good mood completely evaporated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Percy still hadn't received his items from the guard. He stood there and watched Daphne walk away, but as stubborn as he was, he made the decision to follow after her or call for her: if she couldn't be bothered to wait for him, then let her go. She was being irrational because she was upset about her father in prison, that Percy knew, and so he didn't take her actions personally. Even so, if she was going to be this way, he would just let her cool off a bit, before trying to talk to her again.

	Daphne finally stopped walking when she reached the exit. Even though she was irritated with him for the things he had said, she didn't just want to walk out there without him. As she waited, Daphne started to put her jewelry on again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Watch, wallet, its contents checked and placed in is back pocket, Percy joined Daphne at the door and raised his eyebrows. "Shall I escort you home? Or would you rather do something else? Dinner, perhaps?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Let's pop back to mine so I can change, and then let's get ice cream," Daphne answered. It wad going to take a lot more than his saying her father didn't like him for Daphne to not want to spend the remainder of the day with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was a relief that Daphne wasn't going to hold a grudge against him; he didn't know how she would react in every given circumstance, and this was a something new, their tift over her father. "Excellent idea. Something rich and chocolate sounds just the ticket." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm in the mood for something with strawberries. And to get out of these damned clothes," she told him as they walked through the doors and toward the gate, where just beyond they would be able to Dispparate. "I really don't like wearing pants." (Reply to this) (Parent)
