Helena told her mother that she was off to meet a friend. Since it was Tony, her mother didn't question her much, so it was easier to leave out details. Knowing that she wouldn't be thrilled to know that she was off to the British Museum. It was just a typical afternoon, two best friends both needed to get away from the family, she was happy to meet up with Tony. She was sure he had a lot to go through at home, maybe a normal day out with a friend could cheer him up a bit.

When she finally arrived, she remembered they were supposed to meet outside. So she sat on the steps outside of the museum. A small smile grew across her face, she was eager to go. While not many people realized this, she loved History so visiting a museum was like heaven for her. Plus, she was happy to see a friend. A part of her wondered if she should say something about Albus. She had to hide the Christmas present he sent her, not wanting the rest of the family to see it. The two hadn't talked since she got his gift, but she had a feeling she'd still hear more from him. She still wasn't sure if she liked that idea or not.

It hadn't been very hard for Tony to get out of the house. He left a message with one of the house elves to tell Zara that he was going out, and he'd be back later, possibly early evening. Even if he didn't spend that long with Helena today, he wouldn't come home till it was time for dinner anyway.

Using the floo network, he went to the Leaky Cauldron, and Tony used the Muggle Metro to get to the Museum. He'd done this so many times now, Tony could pass himself as a muggle easily.

Tony did get a bit held up though. Post-Christmas crowds and all... but he showed up to the British Museum and it wasn't much past noon and he saw Helena sitting out front. "Hello," he said coming up to her and nodding a bit. Even spared a soft smile. He was happy to see her, she was one of his best friends after all.

A small smile came across her face when she finally spotted Tony. Standing up, then brushing herself off she looked back over to her friend. "Hey." Taking a look up at the museum then looking back to Tony, she smiled again. "Ready to go?" She had half in mind to ask him how he was doing, but that answer would be way to obvious. Hopefully this outing would get his mind off things for a little while.

Tony grinned a bit more, liking to see Helena smile. He knew that Helena had troubles with her own family, especially with her sister and mother. So Tony always liked it when she was happy.

"Of course," he said nodding, looking up at the Museum. He'd lost count of how many times he'd visited the museum, but he enjoyed himself every time. Sometimes certain company made it better too. And like the gentleman he was, he offered his arm to her. Just friendly.

Taking his arm, the two headed up towards the Museum. "I'm glad you thought of this place, I haven't been here in a while." It always came down to lying to her mother and father about where she was going. The museum wasn't exactly on the top list of places they would want their daughter to be at. Though since it was full of muggles, Helena loved it. No one knew her in this world, very easy to blend in.

"I haven't been here in awhile either," Tony said nodding and looking to Helena. How come he didn't know she'd gone to museums before? He knew she didn't exactly have the same mentality of all the pureblood families of their acquaintance but... she went to Muggle Museums? "How come we haven't done this before?" he wondered to himself before looking at Helena. "Maybe I should have asked sooner."

	"Never really asked." Helena said with a small shrug. "Don't exactly go around telling people I like muggle museums." Upon entering the building, she couldn't help but smile a little. "Well, at least now you know if you need company when you come here, you can always ask me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah I suppose. I don't really tell anyone that either," Tony said understanding about keeping his questionable activities hidden. "That would be great. I used to go with Zara a lot when I was younger, but I've been going by myself the last few years. It would be good to have some company again," Tony said. Especially when he wasn't exactly happy with Zara lately with her suggestions of getting to know their father's mistress.

Helena nodded but she didn't say any more concerning, Zara. Family issues were always hard to deal with and she could only imagine how things are at his house. Knowing that if he did want to talk about it, he'd say something, Helena shifted away from talking about his family.

"Well then, since you've been here more often than I, I'm guessing, where would you like to go first? I'm sure they have something new since I've last been here."

	"Oh there is probably something new that I haven't seen yet," Tony said laughing a bit looking down to her at his side. "Well we can start at the most Ancient of History they have and work our way up. So Egypt first?" Tony asked seeing if that was alright with her. (Reply to this) (Parent)
