Flashback

January 1981, Malfoy Manor

Lucius hadn’t seen his cousin since he was very small, so he wouldn’t call them friends by any stretch, but his memories of her were all of the kind of innocent childhood fun he’d hardly had anywhere else, so when she reached out to him after years of distance he didn’t immediately shy away. She was family, after all, and family was the backbone of proper civilization.

He just hadn’t quite expected- this. Hilda grown was quite an image all on her own, but the toddler on her hip was even more startling. Lucius knew she had a son, of course, and that the father wasn’t in the picture- it wasn’t polite to discuss it, of course- but that hadn’t quite prepared him for the reality of having them stay with him. He was staring at his future with Narcissa in just a few months, after all.

“Cousin,” he greeted, striding over with a small smile before daring a hug, the kind of thing he never would have dared before Narcissa began to smooth away some of his more awkward edges. “And this must be Seamus?”

As the weather slowly started to grow colder, Vanja couldn’t have been more excited for the seasonal change of fall. The bright colors, cool air, everything would remind him of home, and though he had left for a reason, it didn’t mean that he didn’t get a bit homesick every now and then. He was used to the cold days and freezing nights, even if it was nice, getting used to warmer weather. For England, that is. However, with the temperature dropping, he had been spending more and more time inside lately, that he had been using up all of his paint supplies. Figuring he could use a break, he had packed his things, and set out to replenish his supply.

Normally, Vanja never enjoyed walking everywhere when it was easier to apparate. However, for whatever reason, his instincts told him to walk that day, and enjoy the weather. Besides, long walks were opportunities for inspiration to strike at random. Vanja had only made it about ten minutes into his walk when he noticed a woman who looked rather familiar to him. She reminded him of someone he had gone to school with, though... could it be? “Hilda?” Vanja called out questioningly, half expecting the other person to keep walking. @hildafinnegan

The best part of being a low-grade criminal, besides not going to jail, was the high that came from getting away with it. He’d learned to become careful. Never steal cars from the same neighborhood more than twice in a year. Always wear gloves. Never go for something too flashy or new. Space them out, look for Muggle cameras. Dump the car in a different part of town. Celebrate in a busy bar and don’t brag. That last bit always proved hard.

Twenty-eight years old and the rush from car theft still hadn’t gotten. Patrick sat at his brother’s favorite bar in Dublin, far from the Temple Bar neighborhood and his usual picking grounds for unattended pockets.

He slid into a seat at the bar, next to a gorgeous woman he didn’t recognize. Maybe his luck would hold.

“Mind I buy you a drink?” He asked, Galway accent leaking through like it always did when the buzz hit his veins.

“You know what? Everything between you and Patrick will work out fine.”

The recent chaos had taken its toll on Lucius’ nerves, and even beside it, life in general was not kind these days. His acquaintance with Hilda Finnegan was recent, but she was from a good family and Malfoy Manor had stood entirely too empty for too long. Fairly soon society would begin to think it was populated by no more than ghosts.

The invitation to tea was a simple one, and Lucius heard the door open in reaction to a visitor’s presence.

“Hilda,” he said, stepping out into the hall to greet her. “A pleasure that you could finally make it.”
