The Darcy girl and her American friend had now been walking for thirty minutes, and were finally beginning to reach their destination, the house lit up in the distance.
However, there was a sense of impending doom and impending excitement both present in the air for Lilah; a sense of emotions she had yet to explain to her friend.
"Uhh Alexander..." Lilah began to mumble knowing she had to tell Alexander the truth, the whole truth, on what was about to go down.
The man suddenly stopped and turned in his tracks to face the girl, he knew that tone, he knew that mumble, he knew she was hiding something from him.
"You know how I said I had a house here.... well" Lilah began to admit, almost stuttering her words.
The man fell into shock, so she didn't have a house around here? So she had been lying for years? Was she completely lying about who she was? His thoughts began to spiral irrationally triggered by the insane events of the past few days.
"No, no no Lilah, no more fun plot twists, oh my god you don't have a house around here?" He said sarcastically, the end of his sentence descending into panic.
"No, no, no! I do, that isn't it. It's just it doesn't quite belong to me?"
"It belongs to my cousin Articus, you know the one who married a muggle and who took me in after my grandma kicked me out of the family and turned everyone against me"
"Oh and... he still thinks I'm dead and possibly thinks I'm a death eater, because I dated one and then his brother who I was friends with got arrested for being secretly one, and killing 13 muggles... and me, apparently. Surprise"
Alexander turned on his heels, the most deadpan expression imaginable on his face.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me" the man who almost never swore said blankly staring at Lilah as if she was some kind of lunatic.
How the hell could she do this to them both? He knew how unpredictable situations could be, and all he wanted was some transparency, however, that was hard for Lilah; due to the complexity of her situations.
"Look I'm sorry ok! I didn't think things would go this way, I had no idea we'd end up here! I did live here though, after our uncle died, the only uncle who didn't have kids or a wife... and left us both a quarter of the whole Darcy estates. Mother and Grandmother were furious...." Lilah began to ramble about the past.
"After, I got kicked out, three months after Articus did, I lived with James Potter and his family for a few months and then after our uncle... We moved here, this house we spent so much of our childhoods at. Articus and Aliyah got married, we celebrated their marriage and all lived here together. A new family. I still feel so guilty my 'death' must've crushed them..." Lilah began to spiral, trying to recite the events of the past in a clear fashion, which was difficult when it was such a complex and levelled scenario.
Alexander blinked several times, his eyes widening still unsure how to react and scared of what could possibly happen "Oh... ok, ok" he stuttered a little, beginning to pace, beginning to stumble.
"So what is the plan, what are we doing, how are we going to break this, this is a major one Lilah"
Lilah Darcy stopped pacing and turned on her heels to face her best friend, rolling her eyes she said sarcastically "you know I never realised that! Thank you for the reminder Alexander"
