"Thank you, it means a lot to me. I'm sorry that Mum couldn't be here but you know her stance on the Rosebane family" Maxy said in disgust. |

Cassalina saw Maxwell run off, looking as though he had seen a ghost. Looking around for the source, she noticed a familiar head of red hair that she hadn't wanted to see again.
"Veronica, Octavius, look. It's her."
"Fuck." Octavius hissed. "Shit just got real. Let's hurry in. The last thing we want is for that fucking skank to catch him alone."

Veronica looked to the group. Of all the days to be divided, they'd chosen today. Then she saw Olivia. Fuck!
"Dammit, why is she here today of all days?" she hissed to the group. "Be on your guards, let's head inside and try and keep her away from Maxwell."
With that, she took Cassie's hand and urged her forward.
Alice stared where Cassie had been looking to see a pretty redheaded woman with a boy and man. They looked like a family. Why was the name Olivia so familiar?
"Who is she?" she asked quietly, following the group.

"At least you still have lil old me!" Maxy added with a cheeky grin.
Olivia chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Of course." She then noticed two people walking up to her. "Hello." she said to them. |

Henry nodded to Olivia as they approached. He gave Jamie a warning look.
"Olivia! It's been far too long! How are you my dear?" he asked, smiling warmly at her. "I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you didn't know Brayden well, but I remember your longing to see him more. I'm sorry you've lost that too."

"Oh, it's you, Henry! It's been far too long." she said, sadly. "Yes, I've always regretted what I did." she sighed wistfully. "This is my husband, Daniel. And my godson, Ewan."

"Marriage suits you, dear," he said. "This is my companion, Jamie Prewett. It's a pleasure to meet all of you today."
He placed his large hand on Jamie's shoulder, offering her support. Olivia could be intimidating after all.

"Why thank you, Henry!" She held out her hand for Jamie to shake."It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Jamie."

Jamie shot a quick glare toward Henry, before she smiled a sympathetic smile to the woman, Olivia. So she had left her son, huh? Jamie didn't feel at all warm toward Olivia, but didn't show it at all. She was grateful for Henry's support, before she could let something slip.
"Hi. You too, I'm sorry for your loss," she said sympathetically, as she shook Olivia's hand.

"I appreciate your kindness." she said gently. "It isn't easy to bury a son."
"It is a shame we never got to know him." Daniel added in a sincere tone. "It is a shame the way things happened."

"Of course it isn't," Jamie exclaimed. "It's never easy to bury son. If things had went naturally ... " she trailed off. She added toward Daniel, "I'm sure he would have loved to know you."

"Dears, why don't we head inside," suggested Henry, "It's getting late, and we don't need to create a scene upon arrival. Allow Jamie and I to excuse ourselves, we need to take our seats."
Alice found herself standing apart from the group. They had all split up in the hustle. She saw Veronica and Cassie standing on the other side. Octavius was nowhere in sight. She felt herself feeling miserable as she stood alone. She was doing the right thing, right?
Chris was both surprised and annoyed to find himself beside Octavius. So he did what any good man would do, and offered the flask of scotch with a grunt.

Maxwell spent the next ten minutes giving short greetings to the pure-bloods that had arrived by faint blood ties. This included the Lovegoods, whom he was on rather bad terms with - their son was a filthy werewolf, after all. Because most of the pure-blood families died out ages ago, only three major ones, and a few that dwindled, remained.
He ignored the hammering in his chest, the ache in his heart, and the sick feeling in his gut. To put it best, he was going on auto-pilot now.

Octavius took the flask with a grunt of thanks, took a swig, and handed it back. He watched from afar, waiting for signs of the she-bitch. "I hate to ask you this, Chris, but be on the look out. Oliva is here. If that skank starts trouble, I want her removed."
---
Cassalina walked over to Maxwell, whom had just finished speaking with the Lovegoods. Up close, he looked like he was going to collapse at any minute. Her heart bled for the man. At least she had Veronica to comfort her...he had no one.

"Women, they just can't leave a man in peace," whispered Chris with a nod, "I'll keep my eye on her. Red hair is easy to spot."
Veronica sighed as she saw Maxwell. It wasn't right. She had finally found love, Olivia had some boy-toys, and he was here alone. She wished he'd find love soon.
"Are you alright? It's okay to rest for a minute," she said quietly.

"I think that would be best." She said, grasping Daniel's hand for support. "We might as well stop trying to avoid the inevitable. We'll talk more later, Henry."

Henry nodded, and pulled Jamie aside.
"Keep an eye on her, she has no sense of tact or understanding. Her being here is a chance she'll start something. If you want an easy pass in, I suggest stopping her from starting," he said in a whisper.

Octavius nodded his thanks, and said nothing more. It didn't seem right that so much turmoil was going to happen on this day. He prayed that Brayden had at least found peace - that would make one of them. ---
"I'm as alright as I can be. Don't worry about me." he told her simply, not wanting to seem weak. "This isn't my first funeral, though I hope it's my last." |

Jamie nodded goodbye to Olivia, and sighed when she heard Henry. All right. She could do that in hope to do it discreetly.
"All right. I keep an eye on that piece of woman," she added with a sigh. She had no doubt that several people kept their eyes on that woman, but she could count her self in, she supposed. "Shall we go in?" she asked and nodded toward the guards.

"Some days it's okay to rely on someone, to open your heart," said Veronica looking to Cassie. "I know I'd have wanted that when it was Dimitry being buried Maxwell."

Henry smiled. He offered Jamie his arm.
"After you. And trust me dear, Olivia's more than just a piece. She's the whole damned package."

"Most of them are from other pure-blood families." Olivia said coolly, disgusted by the very term. She hated pure-bloods and their old ways. As the three of them walked in, she took the time to point out all the families, and a brief explanation of their stances.
This was another thing she loathed. Politics should have nothing to do with the mourning of a loved one.
---
Maxwell took a shuddering breath at the reminder, and decided he might as well be honest with her. It was only fair. "I hate being reminded that I'm the only Rosebane left, and I can't help but think that I failed to be a good father." He screwed his eyes shut. "I should have been there, with him. Not fulfilling some insipid revenge for a woman that obviously wants nothing to do with me."

Jamie accepted Henry's arm, with a light smile.
"Really? Then Maxwell couldn't had a very good taste in the past," she said teasingly. "Hopefully it has gotten better." Honestly who would fall for Olivia? she grumbled. All right, she was married, but perhaps the husband was just as foul as Olivia, or he just had bad taste.

Henry snorted."She's charming when she wants to be, and between you and me, dear, Maxwell's a bit of an idiot when he's in love. I have no idea what he's into now, maybe with age he's gotten better."
Veronica sighed. She should tell Maxwell he was better off, but today was not about Alice."She isn't your concern. Whatever idiotic thing is running through her head is not your concern. Brayden loved you, and you were by far the best father I've seen. Don't doubt that."

Cassalina hugged Maxwell, not caring how it would make them look in public. "Maxwell, you were a terrific father. The two of you had a special bond. For now, just focus on getting through this. We're here for you."
"And I'm here for you too, Cassalina. I know this is hard to deal with." he replied, hugging her back.
"Of course. I wouldn't expect anything less from you. Now, just take a deep breath and walk with us. You're amongst friends."

Jamie raised her eyebrow. Charming. "Aren't everyone fools when they're in love?" she asked lightly, as she showed Henry's pendant to the guard.

Pastor Johnson had arrived and glanced around the group of people. This was a prominent funeral.
"This funeral is about to start," he said, had used Sonorus, in the moment, so everyone heard him. "Sit down," he said. He took the wand and muttered the counter-curse toward Sonorus.

Here we go, time for the fake messages of condolences followed by a fight, a typical pureblood funeral thought Maxy to himself.

Odin entered quietly, and he did what he could to prevent from drawing attention to himself. He stood on the edge of the group- there was someone he needed to speak to, and he just needed to wait for the opportune moment. The large werewolf worse a dark blue robe, and most prominently was the necklace that hung over said robes; it was in the shape of a gray wolf, with it's mouth wide open. One ruby was in place for it's eyes, glittering like crimson blood.
