Who: Hyperion/Zahara, Andrew (and Lara, Harold*, Phoebe, and Evie Wilkinson - NPCs)
When: Monday, February 26, 2010, evening
Where: Andrew's house
What: Andrew has family over for dinner for his birthday, completely unaware that his future brother-in-law's world is about to turn topsy-turvy.
Warnings: TBD, likely heavy emotions though
NOTE: *Just a reminder: Harold is really Heracles Montgomery, Hyperion's missing father.
Andrew was, in a word, nervous about this endeavor. No matter how much ZJ reassured him that she was okay with it, he was still anxious that she was going to hate his mother on principle. And though his mum reassured him that she didn't, he worried that she might resent ZJ for being the reason his father hadn't wanted to be involved. It had been a messed up situation, and he just hoped that they would get along despite it, even though he hadn't been able to bring himself to reach out to his father yet.
In time, he thought. He still wasn't quite there.
He'd asked ZJ and Hyperion to arrive early, though, in part so he could put the floo on hold to make sure no one used it to contact him while his parents were over and thus accidentally reveal magic to Harold. He'd overcome a lot with his amnesia, learning to live again without his memories, and the last thing Andrew wanted for his step-dad was for his memory to be messed with again.
When they arrived through the floo, Andrew was in the kitchen, stirring the stew he'd made--it was simple and not something he was likely to burn or mess up!--and getting reading to get the rolls out of the oven. Evie was set up in a play pen in the living room where he could see her from the kitchen, and she pulled herself up on the side of it when she spotted the visitors, greeting them with a happy shriek as she bounced on her chunky little legs in her excitement.
