I'm assuming even more than that. I'm assuming you will enjoy it.

[liquidsky]

Oh, you're horribly presumptuous today, Black. We'll just have to wait and see.

Wait quite a while as we walk home.

[snakesroarquietly]

I can alway

Walk?

WALK?!

Why will we be walking home? What did you do to my car?!

[liquidsky]

It's a long story.

Wait, it's not. My father is the devil.

[snakesroarquietly]

Then it's lucky you will have plenty of time to tell me that story while we are WALKING.

[liquidsky]

Just wait for the call, darling. He assumed I'd stolen the car.

[snakesroarquietly]

So? Did he take the keys?

I'll be right over. I want my car back.

[liquidsky]

Yes, he took the keys. I just left before the cops came.

[snakesroarquietly]

THE COPS HAVE MY CAR NOW?!

Damn you, Barty, I'm not letting my car anywhere near your crazy family ever again.

I'll ask Dad to take care of it. He enjoys screaming at people.

[liquidsky]

I am sorry, Regulus, but I didn't anticipate my father wanting me arrested for car theft.

[snakesroarquietly]

I know. I'm sorry. I'm angry with him not with you.

[liquidsky]

You are the registered owner of the car, so it shouldn't be any problem to straighten it out.

Maybe I can disown him somehow.

[snakesroarquietly]

That sounds like a fantastic idea, actually. I wish you could.

I told Dad, he's going to call the precinct. I think he was just glad for an excuse to get out of the room. Mum has progressed to the "house of my fathers" stage of her rant.

[liquidsky]

I'm surprised your brother is still there. Wouldn't he usually leave before now?

[snakesroarquietly]

He's having too much fun goading her.

[liquidsky]

Why aren't they reporting his car as stolen? Wait, that doesn't happen in other families?

Your family is more functional than mine.

[snakesroarquietly]

Don't give them the idea, they might - or more like, Sirius might report theirs as stolen.

I'm not sure if I should feel proud or horrified that I have found a family more dysfunctional than mine!

[liquidsky]

You landed the jackpot. I should be grateful my father isn't talking about me publicly yet.

[snakesroarquietly]

He might be saving that for a special occasion.

I'm sorry.

[liquidsky]

It's all right, darling. I was very little when I stopped hoping for my father's acceptance.

[snakesroarquietly]

I know. But that doesn't make it okay.

Know what,tell me where you are and I'll take a cab. I want to see you.

[liquidsky]

Just walked past the museum. I'll be at your parents house in half an hour, you don't have to rush to my side.

[snakesroarquietly]

I would like to be by your side.

ut if you need more time I can wait.

[liquidsky]

Of course I want you to be with me.

I'm not that upset, Regulus. Just angry. This is a new low, but it's nothing that shocking.

[snakesroarquietly]

I know. Unfortunately it's not.

I just keep hoping they will start treating you like you deserve, though they never do.
