Who? Lavender and Adrian
When? Saturday morning
Where? The morgue
What? Lavender wants to talk to Adrian about their families
Rating? TBD

Lavender opened the gift shop and got things in order for the day. Saturdays were busy with visiting families and she usually sold out of flowers and 'Get Well' cards then the teddy bears went. She set her shop assistants in order then told them she had a meeting to get to and she would be back in awhile. Lavender sometimes took advantage of being manager, but she had good assistants and knew she wouldn't be needed in the front of the shop for a bit.

Lavender made her way downstairs to the basement level. It had been over a month since the last time she'd been down there and her skin felt a little clammy, like it had last time. Only now, she wasn't identifying a body, she was acknowledging a new family. Lavender knocked on the door of the morgue then pushed the door open, the smell overwhelming her sensitive senses. "Hello?" she called out, resisting the sudden urge to leave as her stomach turned over. "Adrian are you in here?" she asked, hoping he had an office not in the vicinity.

Adrian was at his desk, pouring over various case files and checklists. Saturday morning. He didn't want to start the day off by cutting open another body. Besides, there wasn't a long queue for investigations anyway. The bulk of his work really was the monotonous office stuff and going into the Wizengamot to make testimonials.

He forgot that the meeting he had scheduled with Lavender was today. He nearly fell out of his chair when she barged in.

"Sh-" A couple of papers flew out of his hands as he jerked upright. "Here. I'm in here," he called as he slid his specs back up his nose bridge, charming his office door open.

	Lavender hurried across the morgue and into his office, quickly closing the door. "Hi..." she said, taking a breath. The stench seemed to be left behind on the other side of the door. "Thank you for meeting with me today. I've been trying to do this for a couple of weeks and... well, yeah," she nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He kept his eyes fixed on straightening out his paper work as she began. "A couple of weeks? What could be so pressing tha-" Adrian looked up at her and froze.

Lavender. He knew the name, but hadn't really put a face to it. He remembered her. She came in a while ago to identify a body. She was gorgeous. Really really gorgeous. Why were there so many pretty girls working in the hospital?

"Er-" he tried to begin again.

Lavender sat down across from him, gathering her wits. "All right, I'm just going to tell you. See, after my mother died, Harry Potter starting doing a little investigating for me because neither of us could believe she was accidentally poisoned," she told him. "Here, we were right - my mother wasn't the intended victim... your father was," Lavender told him.

"It turns out that your father and my mother have known each other for the better part of the last three decades, since before the first war," she went on to explain. "Knew each other... quite intimately."

	Adrian stared at her dumbfounded as he tried his hardest to listen. There was so much information coming in at one time, he struggled to keep up. "Wait, what?" he replied, his work fully abandoned now. "I already knew my father was womanizer. What's that have to do with anything?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, that was just fantastic - her biological father had multiple affairs. That just about made her skin crawl. "Well, it has a lot to do with everything," she said. "Your father... has another child. A daughter, Adrian..." Lavender said, giving him a look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Uh huh," he leaned forward, trying to follow her. He wasn't putting the pieces together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender let out an exasperated sigh. "I'm your sister!" she exclaimed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He raised an eyebrow. "Oh." Adrian leaned back into his chair, mulling over the information. A sister. A female Pucey that wasn't his mother. Strange. "No wonder you're so pretty," he said to himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender smirked, having heard his last comment. "Mmm, right. I just... it was a lot to take in and I don't really expect a comment or anything really. I just thought you had the right to know..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notreallydead 2009-09-12 03:04 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," he was still trying to process it. He couldn't say he was surprised because his father wasn't known to be the most committed man in the world. But at the same time, who went into work thinking they'd have a new sister by the end of the day? "Does he know?" Adrian said suddenly, looking up from his fingers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm pretty sure the topic was brought up when they were questioning him about my mother," she said softly. "I haven't met him... so, I can't say for sure," Lavender told him. "Bet this wasn't how you thought your day was going to start..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He snorted and shook his head. "Don't think I'll be able to top this. Unless someone comes in next week and tells me I'm a father as well." Wow. He had a sister now. Was he supposed to act differently? Feel differently? "So..." he began. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender had to laugh at his comment. "Oh... well, I don't have that kind of news for you," she assured him. Perhaps in a couple of months she would let her new brother know he was at the very least going to be an uncle. "So..." she nodded. "Well... I just got married, so you have a brother-in-law, too."

	This wasn't so bad, Lavender thought. She'd always heard talk about Adrian being strange, but he seemed all right... to her anyway. "Oh, Kevin Entwhistle..." she said, a small smile spreading on her face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hm," he rubbed the stubble on his chin. "I've heard that name before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm sure you have," she smiled a little. Lavender glanced behind him at the clock. "I don't have much more time before I have to get back to the shop. Maybe we can have lunch sometime soon?" she asked him. (Reply to this) (Parent)
