"Nothing. He didn't tell it wasn't true. Presley..." she sighed. "I would rather us just forget about it...if we could. But if you want to know...it's not a long story." She didn't like talking about this. Because her mother...and her father...were so completely normal. And it drove her mad to think that her mother was so stupid. And that because her father was Darius Alexander Morganzo he could get away with anything.

There were some things Elliot didn't think he should be forgiven for.

"We have a secret office, behind the bookshelf. It's a biiig secret. So please don't tell anyone. It's where my father conducts business..." she found herself saying. Great. Now Hannah AND Presley knew about it. But she knew they wouldn't dare betray her trust..."He tells us not to be anywhere in the sitting room when he's in there...well..." she stuttered a bit..disobeying a direct order..her father had been furious...it made her wince to think back at his anger..."One I spied on him...I just want to know what exactly he does!" Her eyes had furrowed, and her face looked flushed...She was a Ravenclaw...she was bound to be super curious..."And...and he has..." she couldn't even finish the sentence. "Women." Was all she could get out.

And then he found out, and Elliot had been....punished within an existence of her life. And she forgave him. Completely. Which also confused her greatly. "He told me it's for business. He said that sometimes he needs...females...to help him along. But I don't believe him! And my mother....she heard us talking. But she believed him that I was lying..." and it didn't help that her mother was all hormonal from the baby...and was super suspicious of Elliot pretty much all the time. "But it's all really confusing, because I definitely know my father loves my mother. He probably loves her more than me...." She took a deep breathe. Presley was the first person she had actually told the entire story to. Hannah had only gotten a tiny sliver of it.

She turned around from Presley and pressed her forehead against the cool stone and closed her eyes. Confusion. The whole entire damned year seemed to be confusion. "Why...why is he so confusing? Why can't I be normal?" she sounded pretty desperate...."And hey," she quickly whipped around..."You tell anyone, Black, and I will flay you alive." She growled, narrowing her eyes. "Only you and Hannah know, so yeah." And if Presley said one word against Hannah Elliot might blow.

Being vulnerable did NOT suit Elliot.

She sniffled one last time, and hardened her features. Like smooth, smooth stone. She blinked a few times, and felt herself calming down a bit. "Let's write the letter." Although, Elliot's mood had downcasted....

Presley waited, and listened with rapt attention as Elliot described spying and what she'd seen. Her eyes grew really wide. Presley's father had not even flirted with another woman in years, and Presley's mum wasn't alive like Elliots. It must be so horrible for Elliot. Pres knew that her father was her idol. She couldn't imagine having your idol torn down like that.

Instead of Presley's typical response, which would have been along the lines of 'I'm so sorry Elliot.' She turned to her friend with fire in her eyes. "What are we going to do about it?" She asked. There was a reason that the sorting hat had almost put her in Slytherin.

Presley would have laughed if the situation hadn't been so serious. "Of course not." Minor things, Pres had no problems telling, but for anything bigger than a tiny problem, Presley Lynne Black could keep a secret like nobodies business. There were things even Elliot didn't know about Presley. Things Leo didn't know, and many many things her father didn't know.

She had told the stupid Lockwood girl before Pres? Come to think about it, Presley had been a bit preoccupied with her own issues, and the two of them hadn't been speaking lately. So it made sense that Elliot would run to the second best.

She nodded. "Thanks, Elliot." She replied. "And hey, you're a Morganzo. Keep your head up." She said with a small smile.
