Let's Play Happily Families.

[Danton Howard]

This Summer wasn't so bad. thought Danton. He and Danielle had become close again, after not seeing too much of each other during the school year. He hadn't seen much of the family though. He was looking forward to meeting Donovan's kids, they were the first in the new Howard generation, and he fekt they should be given a proper welcome. He had asked all of the family to come, and had ordered the servants to prepare a nice meal for them. They had been surprised to see Danton, but he had very precise instructions. Danton had tried to keep things normal recently, seeing as Donovan wasn't around much anymore-he felt that the family was growing further apart. That wasn't good. He hadn't seen Dakota in months, admittedly he'd been in school, but he wished he knew what had been going on for them in the past year. Today should be..illuminating.

He went downstairs, into the parlour, where there were drinks ready, being served by their house-elf. "Stand straighter!" he commanded. Dani had sorted out what they would be eating-Danton didn't know about this kind of thing, but he trusted her completely and he knew she had a flair for this kind of thing. The twins and Dorothy would be returning to school in the next few weeks, and he wanted to meet with the family before they left. He sat down in one of the big, cushiony armchairs and put his hands behind his head, waiting for the family to arrive.

Out of Character:

Sorry for rubbish start everyone :/

 

[Danielle Raven]

Danielle had prepared everything. The dinner would be ready on time, about half an hour after everyone arrived. She was glad Danton had suggested this, it was a good idea, meeting with all the family. She looked in the mirror. She was wearing quite a casual outfit, but something wasn't right. She turned to the house-elf whp was waiting nervously in the corner. "Get me my red hair clip." she ordered, looking back at the mirror, when the house-elf didn't move, she swirled back around and yelled. "NOW!" the house-elf scurried off, to find the clip. It matched the bracelet she was wearing. There wasn't anything special about her outfit today, but she liked to look her best-at all times. The house-elf ran back over and handed her the clip. She placed it in her hair, at the perfect angle. It looked good, she always looked good.

She glided down the stairs, leaving the house-elf trembling in her wake. "Danton." she called out, finally finding him in the parlour, she sat down opposite him. There wasn't always a need for words between the twins, they just sat, and waited for the others to arrive.

 

[Dakota Howard]

Dakota did not live at home anymore, she left months back after she abounded a child with a man she may have only trusted with her life. She did not live home, but occasionally she visited her siblings on the off chance she could catch up with Don. Everyone else was irrelevant to her, she did not get along with Danielle or Danton. She merrily well acted as if she did, since everything was so mess up in this house you might as well go along with the show. Striding out of the fire place, she put good use to the fire place, when her father had ask many time she apparated, but being Dakota she always loved to tick him off more, it's a shame whenever she came for a visit the man was never here. "Afternoon, or I don't know what time time is it. Is Don coming today?" she asked the twins.
