Back Already? ((Adrina))

[Ethan Jacobs G5]

Ethan couldn't believe he was back here already. It had been no less than one day that Ethan had been on summer holiday that his parents decided to drag him along to Hogsmeade. He really wanted to stay home, and hang by the park with his friends and his skateboard, but no! He just had to come back to Hogsmeade the exact day after he had left Hogwarts.

"But you'll have tons of fun there!" His mother insisted.

"Oh yea! Walking around a town aimlessly with nothing in my pocket! You know very well I just spent all my pocket money, mum!" This wasn't true at all, in fact he had plenty of cash in his pocket.

"Well you can't expect me to leave you alone here for eight hours, do you?" His mother raised her eyebrow. She knew him far too well.

"Well why not, I'm fifteen mum! I can handle myself!"

"I know you can, Ethan! It's not you I'm talking about!" Amanda Jacobs sighed. "You remember last time I left you alone don't you?"

"Yes, mum." She was referring to the time last summer when Ethan had a house party. His parents had returned to utter chaos, and after kicking everyone out, they had found him making out with his then girlfriend in the closet of his room. Ethan chuckled at the memory.

"That wasn't a funny situation, young man!"

"I know it wasn't, mum! I was grounded for the entire summer! I've learned my lesson!"

"Oh, Ethan. Grab your pocket money and meet me in the kitchen in no less than five minutes time, understood?"

"Understood." Ethan mumbled. Five minutes later, he was back in the kitchen with his mum and dad.

"Honey, your going to apparate with dad, then you can go wherever, just meet us in the three broomsticks at nine thirty sharp. Otherwise, next time, you'll be coming with us."

"Fine." With that, he grabbed on to his father's arm, and the next thing he knew, he was in the middle of the three broomsticks. His father met up with his mother and they set off to do whatever business they had to do on a saturday morning for eight hours straight. Ethan ordered himself a butterbeer and sat down at what seemed to be the only empty table in the room. Everywhere else didn't even have one seat open, and his was a table big enoguh only for two, that nobody else had occupied already.

[Adrina De Luca]

“Need help?” Aria asked raising an eyebrow to Adrina. Adrina stood trying to fix Gia’s stroller. It was rather comical trying to watch Adrina fix it and Aria couldn’t help but chuckle at her cousin. “No thanks.” Adrina insisted wanting to fix the blasted thing herself. “Okay then.” Aria said leaving the living room for a moment, then returning with Gia in her arms. Gia giggled spotting her mommy on the floor trying with all her might to fix the stroller. “Funny, Gia.” Adrina said laughing to her baby. Aria smiled sitting down on the couch with baby Gia in her lap. “So, why can’t you just get someone else to fix it? There are tons of wizards here that can use magic.” Aria said pointing to the door. It was true, after all, they did life in Hogsmeade. “But this is so much more fun.” Adrina explained sarcastically. Aria laughed. “Fine. You have fun doing something for hours that you could get someone to do in a matter of seconds and I’ll sit here with your baby.” Aria added not trying to sound too harsh for once. “Good plan.” Adrina stated plainly, then giving a wink to Gia. Aria sighed and then stood up, and put Gia in her play pet. “You are so stubborn.” She sulked as she put on her jacket. “I’ll be back.” Aria announced leaving the cottage. Adrian stood up and walked over to Gia. “See, told you making cousin Aria mad is fun.” Adrina said in a baby like voice. “Now we can explore the village without any interruption from crazy Aria. Sound good baby?” Adrina asked her daughter. Gia only giggled. Adrina smiled at her six month old baby and then walked over to the stroller, pushed a button that fixed the crooked part of it, and then pushed it over to Gia.

Adrina strolled Gia around Hogsmeade minutes later. She loved pushing her baby around the village, showing her off, but she knew that Aria disapproved. Aria though that people would only raise an eyebrow at the sixteen year old mother. Adrina knew that some people did, but she wouldn’t let that bother her. She would still have a fun time no matter what. Every now and then, Adrina would look around for any sign of the overprotective Aria, but she was no where in sigh. Probably went to visit Aunt Kat and Uncle Gino, Adrina thought to herself. Adrina notice the few happy faces that loomed around her as she started to get out of the houses part of the village and more into the shops. “Hey Drina. How’s Gia doing? She’s not driving you crazy yet is she?” Kiki Carlton, a seventh year Raveclaw asked. Adrina smiled at the familiar girl. “She is as good as ever. As for the driving me crazy, that comes and goes.” Kiki laughed before nodded and walking towards her friend Laurie’s house. Adrina smiled and continued to stroll Gia around the village.

Finally, Adrina decided to enter the Three Broomsticks since she was hungry after. She wheeled Gia in carefully. The place was pretty much crowded, but Adrina was fairly certain that she could find a table. However, after minutes of searching, nothing was open except for one seat. She noticed that the other boy sitting at the table was about a year younger than Adrina. She was certain that she recognized him from Hogwarts and was pretty sure that he was a fellow Gryffindor. Adrina approached the boy pushing Gia along with her. “Hey I’m Adrina.” She told the boy not feeling one bit shy, as always. “This is Gia.” She said pointing to the adorable brown haired baby in the stroller. “Can we sit? Or actually, can I sit? Gia is perfectly fine with her stroller. Well, usually anyways.” She paused briefly. “It seems that nothing else is open, plus I recognized you from school. Gryffindor, right?” She asked.

[Ethan Jacobs G5]

Ethan ordered a butterbeer and waited for it to arrive. Soon after his drink had arrived, a girl around his age walked in, pushing a stroller with an adorable little girl inside. She was giggling in her stroller, and the girl was laughing a bit too. She walked around a bit, searching for an empty chair, but it didn't seem she was having much luck. She finally noticed the seat across from Ethan and walked towards him.

“Hey I’m Adrina.” She told the boy not feeling one bit shy, as always. “This is Gia.” She said pointing to the adorable brown haired baby in the stroller. “Can we sit? Or actually, can I sit? Gia is perfectly fine with her stroller. Well, usually anyways.” She paused briefly. “It seems that nothing else is open, plus I recognized you from school. Gryffindor, right?” She asked. He couldn't help but notice that Adrina was quite attractive. Her brown hair mirrored the baby's hair, and Ethan figured they were related. She had seen Adrina around the school, but had never really had the pleasure of meeting her face to face. He was glad he had that chance now, her face was quite nice to look at.

"Hello, Adrina, and hello to you too Gia." He said, in his baby voice. Ethan had never been a big brother, but he was always good with kids. He figured it was because of the example his big sister set for him, before she died anyway. She was the best big sister in the world. They never fought, and she loved to take him out for ice cream and show off her adorable little brother to all her friends. Ethan hated the man who killed her, and if he wasn't doing a life sentance in prison right now, he'd find him and kill him for what he dd to his sister. "Please, sit!" He said, kicking the chair across from him as if holding out the chair for her. "And yes, I'm in Gryffindor, going into my fifth year out at Hogwarts." He glanced at Gia.

"Is she your sister?" He said, giving the baby a big smile.

[Adrina De Luca]

Adrina flashed a smile as the boy said that she could sit. She nodded slightly as he pulled the chair down for her to sit in. As she thought about it, the boy looked a great deal with Danny, only Danny was slightly taller than this boy, but he was also older. And Danny had green eyes. Adrina sighed forcing the memory of him from her brain. Why dwell on the past? It wouldn't do any good to both Adrina and Gia. Forget about it. Adrina told herself silently still smiling a bit, before giving it up for a moment. Adrina pulled Gia's stroller closer to the table and herself as she sat down in the empty chair. "Thanks." She said after a moment not thinking at all about her delayed reaction. Oh well. She could do that sometimes. Adrina looked to Gia hoping that she was okay for the moment. If Aria knew that Adrina had taken her baby out, their would be a not so fun sermon on Adrina's way. Adrina wanted to roll her eyes just thinking of her cousin, but she forced herself to restrain. Usually, Adrina wasn't this cocky, but she hated the way that Aria tried to dictate her life with Gia. Couldn't Aria just let her be th best mom she could be on her own terms. Adrina sighed. Wasn't going to happen.

Adrina nodded as Ethan said that he was going to be a fifth year at Hogwarts. She figured as much. Adrina was certain that she had seen the boy around the common room. "Me too." She said confidently, like always. "Well, I'm in Gryffindor at least. I'll be a sixth year though." She added looking up as a waiter approached her. "Just some Pumpkin Juice for now." She ordered. The man nodded and then disappeared into the kitchen. Adrina wasn't in the mood for butterbeer as she drank it nearly everyday already. Adrina then looked back to the boy. "So, how is you're summer going? anything interesting, if you don't mind my asking..umm.." She was about to say his name and then realized that she didn't know what it was. "Yea, what's your name?" She asked with a confused look on her face. After a moment, Adrina looked down to Gia who was now looking about the pub in ever which direction smiling at everyone who dared to look at her.

Adrina stared at the boy as he asked if Gia was his sister. Well, no one had actually said that to her before. Some people at Hogwarts knew, others knew just rumors. Some of them hadn't heard any rumors at all and if they had heard rumors, all it was, was that some girl was pregnant. Still, Adrina found herself pondering how to answer the question. She sighed. It wouldn't be too difficult, would it? It wasn't think she cared what people thought about her. They did tend to look at her funny after they knew. Oh well. Adrina did have a no lying policy. The truth it was. "No, actually." She started speaking as the waiter brought her drink. Adrina smiled, took a sip, and then looked at the boy. "Gia's my daughter." She said smiling to the giggling baby. "She's almost seven months if you were wondering. That's usually the first thing people asked." She smiled a bit before waiting for the boy's reaction.

[Ethan Jacobs G5]

Adrina nodded as Ethan said that he was going to be a fifth year at Hogwarts. "Me too." She said confidently. "Well, I'm in Gryffindor at least. I'll be a sixth year though." Ethan figured this. He had seen the girl around the common room a lot, but he never had classes with her. He also saw her around Hogsmeade a lot. Of course, her's was a very hard face to forget. He had seen her often, and always took notice of how beautiful she looked. Even today, when she had just walked in, pushing a stroller. Ethan noticed a waiter walk by, and Adrina looked up and asked for a pumpkin juice. He was surprised she didn't order a butterbeer, but figured she was sick of them, what with being in Hogsmeade all the time. "So, how is you're summer going? anything interesting, if you don't mind my asking..umm.." Ethan was surprised she didn't know his name, as he had a very well known reputation for flirting with girls, skipping from one girlfriend to the next, and of course, being the son of a multi million galleon cosmetic and fashion empire. His mother was a big time fashion designer who was also well known for her amazing cosmetics. She made millions of galleons a day, so most girls knew his name before he had made a name for himself in Hogwarts. He was always just known as the heir to the Amanda Jacobs empire, at least until he made sure they all knew him as something else.

"Ethan Jacobs, delighted to meet you."

When Ethan asked her if Gia was her sister, she took a long time to respond, as if wondering how best to tell him whatever it was she needed to say. "No, actually." She started speaking as the waiter brought her drink. Adrina smiled, took a sip, and then looked over at Ethan. "Gia's my daughter." She said smiling to the giggling baby. "She's almost seven months if you were wondering. That's usually the first thing people asked." She smiled a bit. So this was the girl who had been "knocked up" in her fifth year. One of his friends had said something about her, and Ethan remembered telling the kid off. He hated gossip and rumors, and wished people would learn to mind their own business. "Well if that is true, then you're not exactly doing the poor girl a favor by telling me this, are you. It's none of your business, unless you're the one who got her pregnant?" Ethan remembered as his friend stuttered his apologies and ran off muttering something about needing to go to class.

"No wonder!" Ethan said finally, pulling a mind back into the conversation. "She looks just like her mommy!" He said with a kind smile. He didn't like people who reacted weird when it came to things like teenage mothers. Just because it wasn't what they were accustumed to, they would think it was weird, or not normal.

"Honestly, nothing has really happened yet, but how can it, really? We've only been on holiday for a day now, haven't we? What about you? anything interesting happen within the last 24 hours?"
