ELECTRA OFTEN ENJOYED HER TRIPS TO HOGSMEADE. Especially when her father was visiting. Which he did almost every other time. But this time he wasn't the only one coming along. Avery was as well. It was a rare occurrence because Avery was very busy. Especially on Saturdays, she ran a boutique after all. People shop on Saturdays.
After many greetings and hugs and the typical, how are yous. Iris was optimistic. Electra was not. They were stood in a circle in Hogsmeade when Andrew reluctantly gestured to Avery, referencing their conversation before Iris and Electra got there, "You can do what you wanted to do now," he waved, he wanted to get what she was going to say over with.
"I thought it wasn't something I should open with Andy," Avery said, being difficult.
Andrew sighed, "I just thought you should say hello first and ask how they were," he explained, "That's opening. This isn't,"
"I think it's still pretty early on in this interaction," Avery continues.
Electra is amused but Andrew sighs again, "You never make this easy do you,"
"Why should I make it easy for you Andy?" Avery questions but she can anticipate his next response, "Don't pull the dead wife card,"
"Don't pull the dead boyfriend card then," Andrew counters.
"Dead boyfriend?" Iris questions.
"When I was like eighteen, during the war," Avery explains, turning back to them, "I was young and fragile it was a tough time,"
"You'd already broken up with him," Andrew comments, slightly kidding.
"You know why," Avery glares at him.
"Then why do you care?" Andrew asks.
"It's not that easy and you know it," Avery begins to argue.
"Children," Electra interrupts, "Behave,"
"It's supposed to be the other way round," Andrew comments.
"Oh shut up," Avery almost snaps.
"This is why we hardly do this isn't it?" Iris leans into Electra to say.
"Yeah," Electra nods, "Avery, you have the floor," she decides.
"Thank you," Avery says, making sure to throw a glare her brother's way.
"I was letting you," Andrew defends.
"Shhh I know you're used to being in charge my dear big brother but I'm speaking," Avery says and Andrew throws his hands in the air in aspiration, "Rita Skeeter has done it again," Avery says pulling an article clipping out of her coat pocket and handing it to Electra.
