The Yule Ball

Descartes smiled. "No, don't be. You had nothing to do with it besides saving Sonia and me. I'm greatful you warned us." he says kissing her cheek.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"You can't do that! They will visit me, you'll see."

Maik smiled faintly. "Thanks. So what are you two going to do now?"

Artorius sneered. "You think they'll want to? After what you've done? Trying to turn them into your little minions?"

"My children love me and would never abandon me. No matter what." Darius growled. "You'll see."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I don't know. I'll probably try to find a tavern or inn for us to stay in until we find a more permanent place." Descartes says.

"Yes, we'll see." Artorius growled, turning and leaving the cell.

"You could stay at my parents' place if you like." Maik suggested. "Or with me or Elrohir."

Descartes nodded. "S suppose your father put our father in Azkaban?"
*~*~*~*~*~*
Darius smirked. "I know my daughter. She will come."

"He did." Maik said, scuffing a boot on the floor. "I'm sure of it."

Descartes nodded. "It was the right thing to do. I mean, I wouldn't tell Sonia, but I'm almost sure he purposely sent that dementor after mum."

"You think he'd do that?" Maik said in surprise. "But why?"

"Well, Mum always put on this dumb front, so he never considered her a risk until now. A few weeks ago, he caught her snooping around in his private study through his letters." Descartes sighed.

"Oh.." Maik frowned. "I can't believe he'd turn on his own family like this."

"I can't either." Descartes sighed. "I told Sonia he was in Azkaban, but she didn't believe me."

Maik glanced over at Sonia. "I guess she just can't yet. Maybe if she heard it from someone else..."

"Yeah, that would probably be best, or maybe if she actually saw him in Azkaban. I wouldn't want that, though." Descartes sighed. "Maybe I should just let her adjust to loosing mom, first."

(can i join)

"yeah." Maik nodded. "one thing at a time."

Descartes was about to say something when SOnia walked up. She had a determined look on her face. "I want to see, dad. Azkaban or no."

"Sonia, maybe we should do this slowly. Take it one hing at a time."

"No, my father is sitting in jail, rotting. I won't let hhim do so alone."

are we going to get back to the dance people

Sonia nodded. "No amount of evil can break my love for my family. He was deceived. I . .I just want to speak wth him."

Maik shrugged. "It's up to you."
