"Andy's never been the camping sort," Narcissa says, idly. "But her family's not picky in my experience."

"And Dora can stay with us, anyways," Lyra says, peering around. "I like her."

Permalink

"In your room, maybe. I'm not sharing."

Permalink

Lyra rolls her eyes with all the energy of an exasperated fourteen year old. "Anyways - hey Anathema," she waves a bit.

Permalink

"Hey Lyra. Need help setting up?"

Permalink

"Nah, we're good. Magic's useful."

"So, uh - mom said her sister's not evil anymore and that our cousin Mintaka's not dead - ?"

Permalink

Anathema glances at Ellie, feeling awkward. "So, um, about that..."

Permalink

She pulls Anathema into a side hug. "Both of those things are true, yes."

Permalink

"So. Uh."

"You're not really going to find someone named Mintaka wandering around, because - "

"She's me."

"I ran away before Hogwarts and changed my name, and - mom covered my tracks after she got out of Azkaban."

"...Huh."

"You owe me twenty galleons," Serpens tells her sister, solemnly.

Permalink

Lyra sticks her tongue out at Serpens.

Permalink

"Which part did you bet on?"

Permalink

"We've had five galleons going for a while on 'runaway pureblood.' The last fifteen were on the 'Mintaka' part. Even Lyra wasn't dumb enough to bet me on whether Aunt Bella killed Aunt Tara."

Permalink

She shakes her head. "Rich kids."

Permalink

"Mom stopped giving me an allowance last time I fleeced someone out of a hundred galleons. I need to support my lifestyle somehow."

Permalink

"Shouldn't have told her about the hundred galleons, then."

Permalink

"True. I hadn't yet learned all the Slytherin lessons perfectly - since while technically I didn't tell her, I failed to prevent the information from reaching her ears. A dreadful oversight."

Permalink

"Terrible. Presumably you are much better now."

Permalink

"Of course. I'm perfect now."

Permalink

"Uh huh."

Permalink

"She only does one stupid thing a week now. It's amazing."

Permalink

She sticks her tongue out at her sister.

Permalink

She snorts.

"Come on, let's actually get set up."

To the Potter-Cantas: "Thanks for letting us know."

Permalink

"Thanks for taking it okay," she says, laughing.
