WHO: Alicia Spinnet, Katie Bell, Adrian Pucey and Graham Montague.
WHAT: After discovering Katie's parents are gone the girls make their way to Adrian's so Alicia can pick up Ryan.
WHEN: Straight after this.
WHERE: Adrian's home.
RATING: TBD.

Finding out Katie's parents had... simply gone was awful and that was putting it lightly. She had no idea what Katie must be going through right then and she knew she could never really imagine it either. After they'd gone through that horrible process Alicia had quietly asked that they pick up Ryan before heading home; she wanted, needed, to see both him and Adrian safe and sound despite the fact that she knew they would both be ok.

Alicia took Katie's hand so they could apparate together, making sure her friend didn't get lost in the way. It felt good to be on familiar ground when they made it to Adrian's. "Won't be long and we can go home. I just need to get Ry." She told her friend apologetically, giving her a sad half smile before going to find Adrian and coming face to face with Graham Montague instead. Oh, wonderful. Alicia threw a sidelong look to her friend before looking back to Graham. "Be nice. Ok?"

"I'm always nice," was the answer to that and Alicia had to stop herself from rolling her eyes at him. Idiot.

Her reaction surprised him, it honestly did. He didn't expect her to agree quite so quickly but then he was easily slipping into a grin, something a little smug and like gaining a victory."I'm be a good boy, just like last time, promise." He imagined that wouldn't go down well but she'd agreed and really that was all that mattered right?

Graham held his hand out to Katie, the tiny smugness gone and he just smiled. "Lead the way?" He had no idea where the girls lived and so he would have to side-along apparate with her, which forced touching which amused him all the more.

Alicia smiled when Katie agreed, giving her friend a grateful look, glad that she had so she could spend time with Adrian and her son when she needed them. "Thank you," she mouthed to her friend, knowing that Katie already knew how much it meant to her, how much she needed this right now. They were both scared and worried, Katie's family having gone missing and Alicia not knowing what was going to happen to her or Ryan.

"Graham, be nice or I'll hex you into next year. I don't care if you're Adrian's best friend, I mean it." And she so definitely would if he even looked at Katie wrong and upset her. Alicia gave him one of her sharp glares, one of those looks you learn as a mother, all sharp and 'no' without even saying it.

"Sure you're ok with this?" Alicia asked Katie, still worried about her as she moved to give the blonde a hug. "They'll be ok, we'll find them and everything will be fine." She hoped so anyway.

No, no Katie wasn't remotely alright with this, but she knew that Ali wanted her to lie and say she was. She wanted to stay here with Adrian and with Ryan and while Katie didn't remotely understand what her best friend saw in the boy, she didn't want to be the reason she couldn't stay here with her son.

Graham's comment earned him a sharp glare, not just from Alicia, but from Katie as well and she looked at the hand he held out as if it was plague-infested. Ugh. Did she really have to touch him? There had to be another way, surely. He didn't know where they lived, though, and Ali wouldn't let her go alone. There was no choice.

"It'll be fine. I'll see you tomorrow, alright?" She hugged Alicia, wanting nothing more than to change her mind and beg her to come along, but she knew she couldn't.

"Let's get this over with," she muttered to Graham, taking his hand, but holding it as loosely as she possibly could as she apparated them just outside the wards around the place she shared with Alicia and Angelina. With any luck, she'd splinch him along the way.

It was hard to fight a smirk at Graham's comment and he couldn't resist choking out a "Have fun! Don't do anything we wouldn't do!" after them when they finally popped out. He couldn't help himself. The whole Katie/Graham situation was highly amusing.

Soon, though, his attention re-focused on his girlfriend. His arms slipped around her and he pulled her in close, his lips pressing to her forehead as he just held her for a moment.

"I'm glad you decided to stay," he murmured, lips still pressed to her head as he spoke softly, letting his guard down a little. He wasn't likely to let many people see how worried he was about all of this, but Ali was different. He could be a little more vulnerable with her, even if he wasn't admitted out loud just how terrified he was that something could happen to her or to their son.

Alicia let the comments pass for a moment, instead just settling into him and giving herself a moment to collect herself. Here she felt safe and it allowed her to relax, just a little. "Me too," she told him softly, arms lifting to move around him as she could hold him close. She kissed him softly, pulling back after a moment to sigh. "They were gone," she told him softly and it was scary to put it into words. Gone. Simply gone. She hoped they'd done it by their own choice, left because it was safest for them and Katie.

What was going to happen to her? to Ryan? Alicia pushed aside those thoughts, she'd thought about it too much already and right then she just wanted to be with Adrian.

"What's going on? Between Katie and Graham?" She finally asked after a moment, head dipping back so she could look up at him.

Adrian nodded, not saying anything further, because on top of not knowing what to say, he was selfishly focused on his own loved ones. Her. Ryan. Katie would be alright, he was sure, and he knew his girlfriend was worried about the blonde, but he really just wanted to focus on them at the moment.

He was a little wrapped up in his doting little touches - a hand in her hair, one on her cheek - when she dipped back to question him and it was a distracted "hmmm?" he answered her with at first as his own head dipped down to brush a tender kiss over her jaw. That little bit of affection had his focus more than her question did and it took him a second to process what she'd asked him.

"He shagged her awhile back," he added, supplying an answer, even if his focus was still on her and the way her skin tasted as his lips brushed over the side of her neck. Really, that was much more interested than whatever game Gray and Katie were playing, wasn't it?
