xxxxxxxx ● ● ● RESIDENTIAL INFORMATION ● ● ●xxxxxxxx
● This Norman-style manor has been the home of the Mortemer Family for three generations. There is in fact an existing Mortemer family in Normandy but is very distant to this particular branch.
● In Year 2031, the current heir and patriarch Topaz decided to renovate most of the things in the estate, making it more welcoming and home-like as a result.
● Most of the recent family members decided to live here nowadays, especially Lazuli who returned home after his twin's and wife's death, moving in to take care of his niece Esmeralda.
● The backyard is bloomed with a nice garden filled with vegetation, fruits, and herbs, taken care by Ester Mortemer and her grandson Garnet.
● There is an attic room which served as the quarters for the House Elves, who were well-treated and acknowledged by the recent members. There's also another attic that was merely a dusty old storage room.
● Most notable house elves are Quasi (Head elf), Seumo, and Modo. Quasi is Topaz's house elf since childhood, still loyal to him and more so for his master's kindness.
● Of course, there was also the basement- Which was accessed by a trapdoor in the kitchen.
● All that is there in the basement is just wines, old ancestral portraits, and a vacant room for Lazuli to work on his Spell Inventing and Metal Charming projects, which his brother Topaz irritably insisted that he should do that somewhere where he could actually see him because his dangerous job freaked him out.
● The fireplace in the living room is connected to Floo Network. But one cannot directly apparate to the estate, as it was recently protected by an Anti-Disapparating Charm.
xxxxxxxx ● ● ● PETS INFORMATION ● ● ●xxxxxxxx
● Garnet has a half-kneazle named Sterling.
● Topaz has a Brown Hawk Owl named Petra.
● Also, Esmeralda has a pet lovebird named Aline.

spaceAntony was somewhat relieved when he arrived at Topaz's home and found it wasn't quite what he'd been expecting. He didn't know much about the Mortemer family, generally keeping his nose out of other people's business when he could. Gossip had always been his grandmother's thing, after all. And Merlin knows he had no right to judge anyone on their family, given his own. Still, he knew enough that he'd been apprehensive, to say the least. He'd been envisioning someplace like his family home, large and cold and imposing. The Mortemer manor was much more inviting, though no less grand than the Tempest estate had been. He still felt rather out of place, being far removed from the person he'd been when he'd lived in his ancestral home. His own flat was small, almost cramped. Or, it had been. Jojo was moving in with Kenny, so he imagined that soon he'd be bemoaning all the extra space he suddenly had. His daughter's absence would create a void much larger than the literal space she freed when she took her things.
spaceHe shook his head, trying to shake the thought away, and knocked nervously on the front door. Honestly, he had no clue what he was walking into. He liked Topaz well enough, but he couldn't say he felt the level of ease around the man that he felt with Ciaran, Belle, and Dare. And frankly, he had no clue how to socialize with people unless there was a movie on the telly, or a drink in his hand. He doubted very highly if Topaz had a telly at all, and wasn't allowed to drink anymore, so he was at a loss. He'd never done much socializing in his youth, even at school. He'd been far more preoccupied with doing well in school and keeping his father pleased. Then he'd been wed as soon as he graduated, his daughter born shortly after, and he'd been far too busy being a father to worry about anything else. Besides, discovering he was gay had certainly put a damper on any desire to socialize. The knowledge that he'd caused exactly what he'd spent ten years of his life lying about himself to avoid still weighed heavily on his shoulders... And made him want to drink. But, Topaz knew he was in recovery, so he assumed that wouldn't be an issue.

♦ Ravenclaw Alumni ♦ Current Patriarch ♦ Pureblood ♦xxxxx
< Early Autumn 2035 >
═══════════════════════════════════════
xxx Moving along at a pace unknown to man
xxxxxx And you thought the lions were bad
xxxxxxxxx Well, they tried to kill my brothers!
xxxxxxxxxxxx And for every king that died-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Oh they would crown another
╔═══════════════════════
Topaz was in the kitchen doing his thing- making tea as he was anticipating a friend who was going to visit his home. He was trying to keep himself a bit occupied since this would be the first time Antony would be visiting his home. Given about how the rumor mill runs in the pureblood circle, Topaz wondered about what his friend envisioned about his home. Hell, he felt like Ani was thinking of the once imposing and intimidating version of the Mortemer Chateau. But then, he didn't think he was the type to judge him for something like that- not really.
Right now, the people in this manor so far was his mother Ester and his young niece Esmeralda. Lazuli, because of some foolish move he had made for working in the basement (again) and the spell backfired to him as a result, Topaz's younger brother had to stay in the hospital for a while. Thankfully, he was recovering, because the last thing Topaz ever needed was another dead sibling because he didn't keep an eye on him. Also, he didn't want to be just him and Jasper to be the only ones left of the four siblings, and he won't allow that to happen.
Honestly, he liked Antony enough to be considered as a friend. Well sure, he had a few friends here and there back when he was in school, and most of them were the few people who either had no idea about his personal situation and fewer were the people who decided to look beyond- and most of them were muggleborns or "blood-traitors". But then again, friends come and go as time ticks- and he had been so busy gallivanting across the globe to avoid his father chewing him out as well as his own problems that he failed to keep contact with them. But his old stick of a father was now dead, and Topaz didn't have to leave nor woo a "proper pureblood woman" when he didn't think he was even feeling anything for them. A handful of men his age would say "She's so gorgeous that I want to kiss her immediately" and other things that people in Garnet's age didn't need to hear. All he could feel was just "She's okay? But I don't feel like I want to kiss her" and that was his common reaction so often that he felt some would probably snicker at him. Same goes to men, too, so as a result he probably lack the amount of ability to, you know, make love.
Hearing the knock of the kitchen door kind of pulled the Ravenclaw back from his contemplating thoughts, and so he turned around to see a house elf informing him that there was a blond male outside. Ah, that must be him- he was worried that it was someone else he wasn't familiar with (but then could be worse). He left the room and ventured to the living room, then he faced the main door. He looked on the peephole to see that yes, he was damn right at it was Antony Tempest, so he opened the door and smiled at the other man. "Oh hello, Antony." Topaz greeted, "How are you? Glad to know that you're not lost or anything, come in here." The Ravenclaw stepped aside giving him the gesture that he can get inside the house, the living room to be specific. Then, Topaz had a slight feeling that Antony might feel a bit nervous over something he couldn't fathom, but he supposed that was a bit normal when you're a visitor in a pureblood house? Maybe. Maybe not. "So, erm, anyway- Do you want tea or anything? And, feel free to take a seat, by the way." And he was beginning to feel awkward and that he could make a terrible host in a party, but it wasn't like people visit his house a lot- And as much as he liked socializing, he wouldn't participate to host a party- He wasn't even a fan of social events, he just liked usual hangouts in parks or maybe a good restaurant. Well... Except for that one specific restaurant, that one was such a disappointment to give such a beautiful French name only to sell Italian pasta- Topaz wasn't bragging or anything but he could honestly do much better French culinary than that.

spaceAntony frowned slightly when Topaz seemed surprised to see him. He'd been invited, after all, so shouldn't he have been expected? Unless he'd gotten the days mixed up in his head, which was possible. His alcoholism had wrecked his sense of recall, and even sober, he still sometimes forgot or misremembered things. He generally tried to keep a lot of lists around, but sometimes he forgot about the lists. Still, he had made certain when he'd received the invitation to mark it down on his calendar, right that moment, to prevent that from happening. But, before he could worry too much about it, Topaz invited him in, seemingly over the brief moment of confusion. Ani stepped inside, smiling faintly. "Well, I wasn't quite sure when I saw the place if it was the right one," he confessed. "I half expected the door to be answered by some old housemaid sort of woman, glaring and telling me 'there's no Topaz here, get off our property,' or something like that."
spaceHe glanced around the interior of the home, again struck by how out of sync it felt with what he was accustomed to, both before and after being disowned. Warmer than his childhood home, grander than his flat. It was odd. But, not entirely unpleasant. He found he much preferred it to Ciaran's home, which reminded him far too much of the Tempest Estate (and why shouldn't it, since Wesley's family historically ran in the same crowd as his own?). He wouldn't say that to Ciaran, ever, since he was certain Siobhan would overhear and be offended. The woman had apparently taken quite a lot of time redecorating the place and trying to make it less... well, Slytherin, he supposed, though the words she'd used were 'outdated' and 'haughty.' He'd been fairly certain the woman had been speaking of Wesley's first wife just as much as she had the house, to be honest. But, looking around Topaz's home, he wondered if she should take some decorating tips; this place was certainly more homey than the Edgeworth manor, still, in spite of all her efforts.
spaceHe blinked in surprise when Topaz asked if he wanted any tea; he'd been so caught up in his thoughts, he'd completely forgotten the other man's presence. Which was ridiculous, since he was in his home, after all. He hoped he hadn't tuned out anything the dark haired man had said to him. Especially if it would become glaringly obvious that he hadn't' heard it. He offered a sheepish smile. "Uh, tea would be nice," he answered, walking further into the home. As per his host's suggestion, he sat down on the couch, noting that it was rather comfortable. Much more so than his own, he thought. Then again, he didn't have the money to spend on expensive furniture. He'd had a hard enough time buying things that all went together without breaking his budget at the time. Things were easier now, but when he'd first moved into his home, not so much. Especially after having to break the lease agreement with the place in Edinburgh. "Your home is lovely," he remarked, feeling awkward even while knowing that, in this situation, complimenting a person's home was the Done Thing.

He couldn't help it, but Topaz chuckled faintly over Ani's half-expectation that he could end up in the wrong house, shaking his head while smiling. "Well, that didn't happen- so I suppose we can all be happy about that." He said, "Though, to be fair, had my mor answered the door, she might be suspicious about it. Long story." And by long story, it meant that Topaz didn't want to talk about what happened two years ago. His mother answered the door, Jasper was there and bam, she was stupefied and it ended up being a dueling trainwreck between Topaz, his sister-in-law Amelia, and Jasper. But now was not the time to think about time, he thought, he was supposed to take a normal life without those stupid junk.
Glancing at Antony, the Ravenclaw was getting the feeling that his friend was a bit awkward if not weird. He honestly couldn't help but wonder what exactly was the man was thinking, but he supposed that since they were friends maybe he was at least allowed to ask if he was okay. "Um, are you okay?" He finally asked as he sat down beside the blond, sounding way concerned as if he was asking his nephew or his younger brother. At this rate, sometimes Ani reminded him of Lazuli, just a bit. Nodding when he accepted his offer about the idea of having tea, Topaz excused himself to tell a house-elf if they could get the tea he had prepared in the kitchen. He then smiled sincerely when the man complimented about his home because he himself redecorated it. Probably took around three years to finish the final look of the place, because the old version was the opposite of homey- you know, typical old manor with poor warmth. The only thing good during those times was the garden, but then, that was because the person in charge of that area was his mother and sometimes Garnet; no surprise of why the boy had such high grades in Herbology. "Thank you." He said, still smiling. "Took a lot of effort to redecorate the whole place. It wasn't like this when I was young, and trust me you wouldn't like that old version" He supposed Antony could figure out now about why he would much prefer being outdoors nowadays stemming from his childhood.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❖ ♃ ♫ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Lazuli knew that the entire family felt restless, ever since they received a letter from Jasper that he kidnapped Garnet and Ms. Warlow- even the Daily Prophet were having a field day about it. Everybody knew that Garnet would always come home at the certain time with promise. Laz would have been tempted to say otherwise, but Garnet was too noble to pull that one out. Not ever. The meeting room was tense as ever as they discussed about the letter on the table, while Laz quietly read the paper with glaring eyes. He took a glance at his sister-in-law Amelia, who was struggling to keep a cool head in the face of tension.
"I don't trust this letter. It sounded way too easy." Laz finally blurted out, inadvertently silencing the room. He knew it didn't make sense, but he was basing this off their last meeting. It has been years since they meet Jasper, and God knows that he may have been planning something as years went by. Laz was convinced that Jasper was probably trying to let their guard down, so it should be really appropriate to expect the worst. "Best guess? He wants to meet us there so he could kill us."
Topaz, his older brother, held up his hand, "Laz, I don't want to contradict you. But Jasper alone? Against the four of us?"
"I don't know how much you knew about present Jasper, but he used to be one of the very skilled Hit Wizards," Ester, their mother and matriarch, interrupted Topaz, "This is the same man who was able to fight three people at once."
"But in the end, that was two against one, he just made it easier," Topaz rebuked, "We only almost lost there because we were unprepared, and he didn't see the fact that you won't hesitate to fight possible. Four against-"
"Three against one," Lazuli cut of his brother's sentence, "I'm sorry Amelia, but it's for the best that you shouldn't come to the meet-up with Jasper. I think the risks are going to be higher."
As expected, Amelia stared at her brother-in-law with fury and disbelief. Look, Laz knew that she would not agree to this but... he was trying to minimize the casualty as much as possible. God knows what kind of surprises Jasper prepared and even if it was just a one-man army, they should still tread carefully. Jasper was really resourceful like that. "What do you mean I cannot?!" She asked furiously, "My son was kidnapped, by his own father! And you're telling me that I shouldn't fight for that as a mother?"
"Lazuli, you cannot-"
"Ester, with all due respect..." Amelia held up her hand at Ester as if she felt bad of cutting her mother-in-law off, then glared at Lazuli, "Tell me, you're the one who willingly wanted to raise Beryl's kid. Who is an orphan. And yet you're so willing to take on a suicide mission to fight Jasper? You don't have the right to tell me this! Where were you when the fight in the manor happened-"
"Garnet cannot afford to lose another parent," Lazuli snapped with his quiet tone, enraged at the implication that he was being a coward who was hiding from Jasper. "Yeah sure, Jasper will most likely be good as dead in the process. Or maybe in jail. But I sure as hell know that Garnet never considered him as a father for him. Now, what will happen when Garnet finds out that you've thrown everything to engage in a duel with Jasper once again? Let alone killed? Or possibly carry the burden of killing him?" He stared at her, as if daring her to fill the answer.
She hesitated and fell silent, but when Amelia seemed to find out the answer it's clear that she will hate what she was going to say. "He'll think it's his fault, won't it?" Amelia gritted her teeth, getting the feeling that Jasper was setting a reunion to end all reunions. Lazuli has this pained look, quietly wincing at the thought of how his nephew seemed to be just as affected in this whole thing. He used to completely ignore Garnet as he used to be under the thought of him being exactly like Jasper. Now, it turned out to be the complete opposite.
"Exactly," Lazuli tightly replied, clearly not liking his nephew's train of thought either, "I don't know what Jasper wanted to do with Garnet, but it's clear that rescuing him means fighting him. Your son is perceptive enough to see that. And given what happened years ago... Jasper's not gonna hesitate to finish what he started." That means Jasper killing most of them, especially Amelia and Ester due to apprehending him for patricide. Lazuli lost so many people he cared about because of Jasper, he didn't want Garnet to feel the same way. Especially when another girl who was kidnapped had nothing to do with the whole family issue.
God, did Lazuli wanted to kill the b*****d so bad.
"But it doesn't change the fact that you're risking Mera losing a parental figure," Topaz told him in a serious tone. Lazuli was getting the feeling that Topaz wanted to take up this one by himself due to his stupid-a** guilt complex. Sure, he resented Topaz for escaping all of his supposed responsibilities as heir but taking on a heated duel by himself was the shittiest idea. If Topaz wanted to make up for it so bad, going on a suicidal duel wasn't the one. "She already lost Beryl and Robert, and I sure don't think Mera can afford to lose you as well."
"Don't even think about going solo, Topaz. You're not the man who got nothing to lose. You have a boyfriend and I don't think he can afford to lose you. Besides, Jasper never knew me at all. Since the only person he saw as a threat is you three, and he maintains one hell of an ego," Lazuli tersely said, aware that as much as he took advantage of it, it left him bitter about being patronized by their late father and Jasper. Hell, he wasn't even given the effort when Lazuli was assaulted- he was just left to die in Norfolk. "Why, you got a better plan?"
"I have one," Amelia said, her expression determined, "Fine, I'll opt out but I'll still continue to help with the plan. Keep in mind that this is probably not gonna be a fair fight. And if he finds out, Jasper might have one more reason to not trust us in the meet-up."
"Jasper ambushing and killing his own family isn't fair, either," Lazuli scoffed, "So why should we?"
