A good thing, since the agreed-upon amount of galleons Adonis Mordaunt was meant to have sent at the beginning of the month hadn't yet arrived. It was still the beginning of the month and they would've had time, but she hated spending money before she had it and her job at the travel agency wasn't enough. She needed a better one, but what's a hoodwinker to do?
They seemed to have been discussing names from the man's comment. And the man was apparently a wizard and familiar enough with the houses that he could spot the silver and green of her old house.
"Probably not." Cutty began working out the wad of bubblegum. "He's not from around here." But to be honest, Cutty wasn't extremely familiar with the Mordaunts beyond his father, one aunt who had married, and his grandparents. For all he knew they could've migrated many years ago from Great Britain (and in fact, they did). If this man was called Mordaunt, then perhaps there was no invisible friend. The boy noted that the man called Mordaunt didn't seem to be acknowledging anyone else since the initiation of their conversation. Probably, he had been talking to himself...OUTLOUD! Cutty hid his smirk with his bubblegum chewing because he was a rat fink.
Soheir had begun to try and stuff the loose piece of the scarf into the luggage but it was a lot trickier to do without the use of magic. Finally, she gave up and in her gradual regaining of her cool she realized what else the man had said. "Trust me, I've often thought he might have been a changeling. No, unfortunately, he's mine." She wasn't blind to his mischievousness, but she never could solve it and that was a little embarrassing. "His father is from Canada, but I'm not sure, he might be English. That is interesting, however. I don't meet that many Mordaunts."
If there was a time Mordred felt blessed, it was that very moment. Though his family came from the old elite class, he was thankful that his family can still be considered normal.
“Where is he, your father? It would be lovely to meet him.” Because to him, the Mordaunts are on the brink of extinction.
“I too have a younger cousin to look after. He’s…well, a handful as well.” he said and turned to the woman. Maybe not as crazy as Cutty, but Ethan was still a ball of energy that Mordred must contain from time to time. The young man though, blames Ethan’s absentee father. Ethan was noticeably becoming clingy every time. In fact, Mordred had a hard time persuading the boy to ride the Durmstrang ship earlier. Mordred hated to part with his cousin, but it was his responsibility to make sure that Ethan, like all parents get their children or charges to their respective schools safely and receive a high quality education.
But, hold on.
“Is your husband a wizard?” Based on Mordred’s family tree, his family is one of the remaining pure-bloods in the wizarding world.
“I share the same sentiment regarding Mordaunts. I personally think that our bloodline is a unique one…” But apparently that is not the case anymore.
