It was the next day and Ron and Blaise were sitting at the kitchen table, drinking coffee, when the kids came downstairs.
"Hi dad!" Harley exclaimed.
"It was quiet for a bit." Blaise laughed.
"We know we make everything better." Marley complemented herself and siblings. Ron and Blaise laughed and gave her a hurt look.
"Do you think we could go?" Alan asked with a glimmer in his eyes.
"Umm I don't know yet." Ron lied. In all honestly he just didn't want to go.
"Your lying." Harley explained.
"We can't go can we?" Alan asked his glimmer faded his eyes were dull now.
"Ok ok we can go!" Blaise exclaimed feeling bad that Alan was so sad.
"Blaise!" Ron hissed to him.
"I couldn't help it, look at him." Blaise argued.
"Why don't you want us going?" Marley asked Ron.
"It's complicated." Ron sighed.
"We don't have to go." Harley said.
"Hey don't feel bad just because your dads a little bit upset." Blaise hissed to them.
"We could understand it!" Alan exclaimed. Ron and Blaise both laughed at that.
"Whatever you say." Blaise joked.
"When's everyone going?" Ron texted Ginny.
"About 1:30" Ginny replied.
"Are you coming? Is that why your asking?" She asked with hope.
"We are still thinking about it." Ron explained. After a couple hours of Ron and Blaise discussing this and the kids begging, they finally made up their minds.
"Go get changed and we'll go." Ron hissed to them. Him and Blaise went upstairs to get changed also.
"Dad who's going to be there?" Alan asked.
"People you've never met." Ron explained.
"Why haven't we met them?" Harley asked.
"Doesn't matter, just be happy your going." Ron sighed. Blaise laughed as they walked out the door. Ron looking down.
