Chapter 𝐕𝐈𝐈

The young Dahley girl woke up to a knock on her door the early morning of a Saturday. Surprisingly the women didn't have work today, finally a break off her busy schedule. She was up already as expected as a lot of Ministry workers were. Going to the door she unlocked the door but keeping the chain locked in case it was someone she wasn't expecting. She peered through the small crack in the door and on the other side stood a brown-haired woman in her 50s or early 60s. She was of average height and the man next to her was a bit taller. Of course, it had been many years since she spoke to her parents after running off after Felicity's disappearance. What she didn't expect was to find her parents in Great Britian when they lived inScotland, why now did they decide to turn up? "Can we come in dear?" The soft voice of the woman came from the other side of the door. Ermengarde didn't know what to think, were they really her parents? slowly pulling her oak wand out of her pocket just in case. "What are your and his Patronus?" The young woman asked waiting for an answer. Back at Hogwarts around her 5th year, they were learning to cast Patronus Elizabeth and Atticus Dahley showed their youngest daughter at the age of 15 their Patronus. Elizabeth's being a Black cat and Atticus's being a barn owl. "Black cat, and his a barn owl." The woman spoke, that's when Ermengarde unhooked the chain and let the couple in. "Would you like any Tea, Coffee?" The young woman asked her parents as they took their coats and scarfs off and hung them on the coat stand near by. "Tea, please," Elizabeth spoke obvious of the tension in the room. The family had such a good relationship during the younger years of Ermengarde's life. "What type?" Ermengarde said walking to the kitchen. "Lemon, if you don't mind." The older woman spoke sitting on the nearby couch. It was a silent 5 minutes, the only thing you could hear besides the wind howling was the kettle on the stove. After that Ermengarde brought the steaming mug of tea to her mother and sat down on the loveseat in front of her parents. "Quite a lovely house you have," Atticus said in his thick Scottish accent. I think that's what Elizabeth loved most about him was his accent. She was born in Great Britain and had a plain British accent. "Thank you," Ermengarde spoke eyeing her parents and taking in their features, they hadn't changed that much in the last 5 years

"Why are you here?"
