The Aldreds~Wizarding Family~Three Members


The world is broken, halos fail to glisten


Dustin shook his head firmly. "Marina, you're twelve years old. You are not walking around shopping by yourself." He gave his daughter a firm look. They'd been arguing about her going off by herself since breakfast. She seemed to think she was twelve going on seventeen. He looked to his wife for support. "Bernie, back me up on this, please." Surely she'd agree with him.




You try to make a difference, but no one wants to listen


I'm in here, can anybody see me?


Bernadette sighed and opened her mouth to agree with her husband but saw her daughter's face and sighed. Marina was twelve now, after all. She'd be a teenager next year. "Oh, Dust, why don't we just let her go off. She probably wants to meet up with her friends without us cramping her style." she teased her daughter. She really just wanted them to stop arguing. Both had unruly tempers and could snap over the smallest of things. Dustin sighed. "Fine. But know my rules: No getting into trouble, no going off anywhere with someone you don't know, be polite, no boys, and no Knockturn Alley." Bernadette nodded her approval.




How did we get here? When I used to know you so well?



Marina rolled her eyes. "Yes, Father." she muttered. She rarely called him that, except when she was annoyed. "Alright, I'm off then. Don't worry, I'll be a little angel!" she called over her shoulder as she headed off. Her parents watched her go. "More like a little devil," Dustin grumbled, watching his little Slytherin walk off. Bernadette swatted him. "Ow!"

Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming of angels on the moon



Newlyn was beyond happy. She was away from home, without her father, and with her sisters. It was like a dream come true. She pulled out her list of things she needed for Hogwarts. She'd gone to Diagon in the very beginning of summer to get her wand, right after she got her letter, because it had been her birthday and she had needed to get away. So that was crossed off. She had her pet, too, Scratch, a mouse she had found in her room. Newlyn continued to study her list. "Let's head to Malkin's," she finally announced.





Drench yourself with words unspoken


Elsie stared up at her older sister with a mixture of joy and envy. She desperately wished that she, too, would be leaving on the Hogwarts Express in September. She'd never even been to King's Cross before. "Let's go, then!" she squealed, lacing her small hand through Newlyn's.






Load up, load up, march to the future


Morven groaned. "Can't we go somewhere more interesting first? What about the Apothecary?" She pouted, sticking out her lower lip. "No, we're going to get my robes. Then we'll go to the Apothecary," Newlyn replied, sticking her list back in her bag and taking Morven's hand. "Now come on." the sisters started off, making their way through the crowded streets.

------------I'm hell on heels
------------- Say what you will

An enchanting, irresistible, melodious laughter enticed the attention of nearly every male around her. Her demure, voluptuous smile a carnal temptation infused with her veela blood. She relished in the spotlight of attention it gave her, manipulating weak willed wizards to her pleasure, even as she strode alongside her daughter, her heels clicking with every step. "Absolutely divine, I missed having my little wild child, hehehee. Soo, darling, you never indulged me, have you met any cute
boys while in school?"

"Mum-!?" Her daughter blushed, swatting daintily at her mother's arm playfully.

"Oooo, speaking of cute, he's definitely gorgeous, rough around the edges, but, always the most exciting," Diane gushed, pointing a manicured nail to an older gentlemen, a father it seemed, of Cersei's classmate, Marina Aldred, who had just parted ways with her parents.

"Mum! Are you batty, they might hear you, and he's married." Her daughter gasped, an enticed smile on her giggling lips.

"So? Never stopped a man before," The mother giggled with a coy wink to her laughing daughter, an amorous smile on Diane's lips as her lilac eyes sought out Dustin Aldred for eye contact, if, for only just the moment.
