Yet Another Summer; at the Herrogard

Valcan knew only too well what Sarah was thinking, quite eager to get out of the library and into a much more promising situation. He occupied himself with rubbing Sarah's shoulders as she talked, a devious smile present in his expression. "She could be some sort of distant relation." He thought about it for a moment. The Potter boy was definitely against any interest that he and his colleagues may have, so it would be useful to the group if they could get a familial relation on their side. How to go about that, however, was above his head at this point in time. Chuckling a bit, he replied, "Indeed. Although, is not every newcomer like that?" He looked knowingly to Sarah, remembering the first time she had come to the Herrogard. People of wealth, however, never had the reaction of those who had grown up in- smaller establishments.

Receiving Sarah's kiss, he smirked as she seated herself on the sofa nonchalantly, sipping at his wine. The man was usually finicky about anyone else touching his food or drink, but Sarah was the exception. Turning his attention to the girls, he listened to Estrella's request, his lip twisting into a frown. He wasn't sure whether he should be saying yes or no, looking to Sarah. "I don't know. Is there any specific reason you want to go there?" He didn't want to seem the authoritarian parent that he had been, although he figured that as her guardian he also had every right to know what she was going to be up to, especially under his watch. She's not yet seventeen, he had to remind himself.



((Hope that wasn't too bad of a godmod. ;) ))

Lily hoped she was not speaking out of turn, but she decided to help plead their case. "Well, Strella was hoping to take me to visit her aunt and uncle in Minnesota for a few weeks, and I kinda was hoping that my boyfriend and his dad could meet up with us there. I really want to check out that huge mall that is in Minnesota. I have a huge thing for shopping and I think Blake and Josh would have fun there too." She was not sure if Estrella told her Grandfather that she was dating the son of a friend of his, but it was worth dropping the names to see if he reacted at all to them. "I have never been to Minnesota, even though I grew up in the next state. My family never went much of anywhere. That and I love shopping." She grinned, hoping that the two adults would at least think it over before telling them they couldn't.

Thank you, Lily, Estrella thought to herself, giving her friend a grateful smile. Hopefully, the girl had just rescued their case, considering how bad Estrella's throat was catching up. Turning to her grandfather, she coughed a little bit, and added, "I really like being here- I really do, Bestefar," she started, "But I haven't seen my family in a really long time, you know? And it'd be nice to do some shopping, I agree with Lily." Her expression pleading, her large eyes trailed to Sarah and then back to Valcan. "Would you consider it? We'd both be really grateful." She hoped that her grandfather could hold on to some inkling of understanding, to remember what it was like to be a teenager for once and to feel something, if not sympathy. The Herrogard was a nice place, but it was too cold. The two Ravenclaw girls needed to get out and do something fun.

Valcan's eyebrow raised just a hint as Lily brought up a Josh. Could it be the Joshua he knew? He thought that he had heard something about the man having a son, but he couldn't be sure. "Joshua Hanson?" he inquired, wondering if this was indeed whom the girl was speaking of. He was still unsure how to respond. If he didn't let Estrella and her friend go, she would lose trust in him. He glanced to Sarah, hoping that she would have some sort of opinion to offer. It didn't seem entirely unreasonable to let her see her family, although if he she or her friend were to be lost or hurt, he would be accountable. If Josh would be around though- that may be a different story. "I would have to think about it a little more," he replied quietly. The request was sudden, although he wasn't sure to find it unexpected or not.

Lily's eyes brightened up a bit at the realization that Valcan knew Josh. That meant that they had a better chance of getting their way.

"Yeah. Josh Hanson. I am dating his son, Blake. I think Josh would be cool with meeting up with us for some shopping and I know Blake would love to hang out there and I am sure that Josh would pretty much do anything that Blake wanted to do 'cause they are still forming a bond between them at this point 'cause Blake's mom took off on Josh when she was pregnant and he was on a work assignment of some kind and--- sorry, I'm rambling," she stopped short, realizing that she was saying all sorts of things that really did not matter to the situation at hand. "I tend to do that when I get excited." Lily's cheeks colored, and she smiled a bit awkwardly. She barely knew these two and here she was spilling her guts to them.

Estrella could not help grinning broadly at Lily, who possibly had just convinced Valcan to let them go. Oh, what she would do to get out of this place. She liked living in it but being confined within the walls did nothing for her short term sanity. She looked to Valcan hopefully, her eyes wide as Lily basically recounted Blake's life story. Figuring that Josh being around might alleviate whatever uneasiness Valcan possessed about letting them go, she shifted on her feet as she waited to see if Lily's shot would get them anywhere.

Sarah took in the girl's discussion silently, gauging the reaction of each of them. As Lily started rambling on, she held back laughter and simply smiled instead. She sipped from the glass of wine in her hands, then moved to set it down. Turning to look at Valcan, she asked, "Is that the Josh that is Estrella's godfather?"

Valcan had not spent much time around teenage girls. He had been around his sister, Larkana, back when he was young, and had had a teenage daughter of his own, but Brunhilde was definitely not what one could be considered 'girly.' At least, not in the sense of today's teenagers. She had always acted mature for her age, and thus the Potter girl's outburst left his head spinning. The old man wondered if he had ever read or heard so many words used in one sentence.

"Indeed, it is," Valcan replied, "And I suppose that if he is going to be in the states too- in case anything goes wrong," he gave a pointed look to the two girls, "You could have someone to look out for you." He sighed a bit. "It is only fair to let you guys go. How soon do you want to go? Will your family consider it rude to show up unannounced?" Valcan had been raised with proper etiquette, although he had no idea about muggle standards.

"Oh, thank you Bestefar!" Estrella exclaimed excitedly. If he hadn't been such a seemingly unnapproachable person she would have hugged him. "This means a lot to me- well, us, I would say!" With a broad grin she stated, "Well, as soon as you'll allow." Laughing, she said, "Carl and Maggie? No way. They won't care at all."

The Ravenclaw girl couldn't help smiling broadly at her friend. She hadn't seen her mother's side of the family in so long, she nearly felt guilty about it.

Lily squeeled like a little girl when she heard that they were allowed to go. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you!" She smiled wide, and jumped on her friend, excited to go close to her home for a bit.
