Meeting The Devils

[Donavon Howard]

After staying away from the manor for weeks, Donavon decided to pay a visit but this time he invited Sanja to meet his siblings and hopefully they wont kill her. Perhaps some of his siblings knew who she was since he went out with her when he was young but they probably didn't care at all. Donavon had owled Sanja the address of the manor and he expected her to apparate there by herself instead of with him. Donavon had to practice with the team and he had something to do after that. And beside he didn't like other people to cling around him, he wont let anyone except the eldest of the family, Dakota. Probably it was because they were only a year apart and they spent their days together since they were young. Their parents took care of them well but not his younger siblings that were younger than Dakota. Both of Donavon's parents concentrated on their work since then and had no time for their kids. That was the reason why they were all messed up.

Donavon apparated to the manor as he spotted no one in there. He walk up to the second floor, opening his room that looked untouched and took some items that he left. He walk back to the first floor as he ordered the house elf to bring him a firewhiskey. The little creature ran and place the bottle on the coffee table in front of the couch. Without even bothering finding his siblings, Donavon slammed himself to the couch as he opened the firewhiskey, drinking it. It was pretty odd that the manor was quiet, did Dakota or Devlin manage to kill the whole family? Or were they wasting their time wandering around.

 

[Sanja Petrovic]

Sanja awoke to the sound of an owl poking at her window. The groggy brunette hopped off the bed and took the letter from the owl. It was a message from Donavon saying to meet him at the manor and the address. Today was the day she was going to see his family again, it had been like.. 5 years since she'd last seen them, that was also back when they were together for the first time. The blue eyed girl quickly had a shower and clothed herself.

Getting to the manor wasn't going to be difficult, she would just apparate. With that being said, Sanja apparated to the huge house. The petite witch knocked on the door, waiting for the house elf to answer the door. Finally the elf arrived, letting Sanja enter the grand house. She looked around for Donavon not too sure where he was, she called out to him, " Donavon, where are you?" She took a few steps around.

 

[Danton Howard]

Danton was sitting in the drawing room, reading. He had managed to obtain this book from a black-market dealer. It was an inside account of Lord Voldemorts rise to power, form one of his most trusted Death Eaters, unfortunately he chose to remain anonymous, so Danton couldn't track him down to ask questions-such as how did you go about joining the Death Eaters?
He heard noises outside the room, and stood up, placing his book on the table by his chair. "Hello?" he called, walking out of the room, undoubtedly one of his siblings had come home. He came into the hall, seeing a girl, whom he vaguely recognised, acting as though he knew who she was, he greeted her. "Hello." he smiled at her.

"Come on in." he gestured. Suddenly realising who she was, he looked back. "Long time no see Sanja." he grinned, glad he could remember who she was.

 

[Sanja Petrovic]

The brunette looked aimlessly around the hallway that she was in, why wasn't Don responding? He must be somewhere with the door closed, or he fell asleep. She shook her head and sighed. Sanja turned her head when she heard someone speaking to her. She knew the face but the name just wasn't coming to her right now. " Hello." Sanja smiled at the younger boy. Now if the name could pop into her head that would be great. Sanja followed the boy, now it hit her, it was Danton. She hadn't seen him in years! " It's been so long Danton, you've changed, I barely recognized you." She gave a short laugh.

 

[Donavon Howard]

Donavon herd the footstep of someone walking and that someone turned out to be Danton. Donavon ignored him for a while, not until Sanja came. He stood up and started to walk toward both Danton and Sanja. "Danton" He said looking to his brother wondering where the twin of his was, since they were often seen together, or maybe it was Donavon who was never home. "Where are the others?" He asked still looking at him. Donavon felt awkward not hearing the voice of his younger siblings yelling at each other, taunting each other.

After glaring at the brother of his for a while, he then glanced to the side, spotting Sanja and walked toward her, placing an arm around her, planting a kiss on her lips, leading her to the living room and ordered the house elf to prepare drink and snacks. "How's your day love?" Danton should know that he was in a relationship with Sanja, not just in a relationship but he was engaged with her and he was pretty sure that some of his siblings disagree with his decision.

 

[Danielle Raven]

Danielle was in a mood. She needed to talk to someone now and no one was around. The house was full of an eery silence that echoed around louder than the chiming of bells. Slamming her bedroom door behind her, she pocketed her wand and headed down the stairs, pausing only to make sure that she didn't fully squish the house elf if she stood on him. Her eyes blazing, she careered into the hallway to find her twin brother Danton, being polite to Sanja and her elder brother Donavon there. Her eyes stopped blazing and she composed a sweet smile, delighted that Donavon had arrived in time for her to talk to him. Her twin had always been the polite but dangerous one and she composed her smile especially for him.

Turning to the latest arrival, Sanja, she smiled sweetly again and walked over, her posture perfect. "Hey there." She greeted, unsure of whether this lady was nice or someone to watch out for. Deciding that she could never be too cautious, Danielle kept her sweet smile on her face as she turned to her eldest brother. "Its good for you to be home, there are things i need to talk about to you." She began, cutting herself off before she said too much. This was something she had discussed with Dorothy and she wasn't sure whether she was quite ready to tell Donavon the whole problem yet or not. Her tone was edgy but still contained the last element of warmness that she had the energy for.

 

[Maia Purdue]

"You've changed too." smiled Danton. He then turned to see his brother enter the room. "Hey Don, long time no see." he replied, to his brother's curt greeting. He rolled his eyes as Donavon turned away, he was so impossible to deal with. "Well, Danielle is here somewhere, and I'd say Dorothy's outside, the house wouldn't be half as quiet if the younger twins were here." he answered, looking coolly back at Donovan. He didn't understand why Don felt this need to exert his power, well what he thought was power. Danton thought it childish, but played Donovan's game, as long as it didn't get in his way. He frowned as Don and Sanja embraced. How long had that been going on? He quickly hid his confusion and followed them to the living room. Well, if Don wanted to get serious with her, they'd have to know more-her blood status for example.

He sat down in an armchair, then smiled as his sister entered, this should be interesting. He patted the chair beside him, indicating that she should sit. "Hey Dani." he smiled, Danielle was one of the few people he showed warmth to. He smiled at Danielle's abrupt greeting. What did she want to talk about? He had some idea it might be something to do with Dakota. "Hmm, I wonder where Dancel is, he's rarely not around when something happens, although he rarely takes part either." he smiled, making small talk, though Sanja mightn't remember Dancel, so they'd have to try not to accidentally cut her out of the conversation. After all, they may argue a lot, but toward the outside world, the Howards presented a pristine, and admirable front.

Out of Character:

Ugh, this is meant to be Danton-sorry guys!!

 

[Sanja Petrovic]

Sanja heard footsteps come from behind her, seeing that it was Donavon she flashed him a smile and followed him to the living area. She gave him a quick kiss back, loving his embrace. " It was alright, a bit hectic, yours?" Her blue eyes glowing with love for him. Sanja wasn't too sure as to which sister just said hi to her, but a good feeling told her that it was Danielle. " Hi there." She smiled at the younger girl. Sanja kept her posture which was being right beside Donavon. She didn't really know what was going on, but was going to listen and not be rude to his younger siblings. Sanja was never rude until someone offended her, and as far as she knew none of his siblings did anything to her but be polite and nice.

 

[Dakota Howard]

Out of Character:

Nice naming Sally, gosh it's so confusing

"Where's my goddamn soda you little runt! Fetch me some pop or you'll end up missing!
" announced the shouts of Dakota scaring the poor house elf who did more than cater the likes of the Howard family. It basically warn the rest of them how Dakota was feeling today. Other days she would be fine, gone nonchalant about her business and her racing thoughts. Today felt like anything could just set her off, if it felt that way than something didn't feel right to her. Storming down the long corridors, she reach the entrance of the living room where most of her family were already gathering, almost like a family.

"Don?" she saw her brother eyes meet her at once, and in a jet second did her eyes roll down to the girl right next to him. Everyone was smiling and beaming so sweet at her, Dakota on the other hand eyes were pinning daggers at every second she stared at the girl with every bit of hate her small body can produce. "What the hell going on? Where's Dorthy?" she asked about the youngest out of the group, a minute longer and Dakota felt she would lose it. Thankfully the house elf made it fast enough to her side, serving Dakota her pop. Dakota eyes soften and her mouth fell open, accepting the drink she sat right down the nearest couch and drank the pop in one sip. It was that addictive to her and everyone knew about her sickness with pop and potions. She sighed letting go the pop, her head fell back as she felt more relax after having what drive the poor loony girl mad!

 

[Donavon Howard]

Donavon could see Danielle coming down, he looked at her in the eye and saw her smiling at Sanja. Perhaps this was his lucky day, that he didn't have to tell them what to do or listen to them yelling at each other. "Not now" Donavon didn't want to know what was bothering Danielle, at least not at the moment. He didn't even care about the rest of his siblings except for Dakota. "The same as your day" He said replying to Sanja, actually he wanted to tell her more about his day but later when they were back in Donavon's place.

Not too long, Donavon could hear a familiar voice, and he knew exactly who's voice it was. "Do you have to shout?" He said coldly as he glared at Dakota. It seemed that Dakota wasn't too fond of Sanja and if the youngest of the family came and Devlin came, then the war would start. "Dakota, this is Sanja, she was in a class of yours if I'm not mistaken" What Donavon could remember was that both Sanja and Dakota were in the same age so they probably knew each other. Or they hated each other back then.

[Danielle Raven]

Danielle raised and eyebrow at her elder sister as she came storming into the room, swearing and yelling as she came. Rolling her eyes in the direction of Sanja, she narrowed them at her brother. She hadn't seen him in who knew how long, and the only words of greeting that she could get out of him were not now. Fiery words came to mind as she decided how to punish him, but she bit back her tongue, wishing that he would greet her normally, perhaps with the 'hey elle' that he usually used. He was the only one in the family who was allowed to call her 'Elle' because she didn't really ever let anyone else use it and her and Danton never needed names to talk to each other.

Frowning slightly, she stamped her foot in the way that only a 13 year old could. She wanted something, and she wanted it now. She didn't care who was there and watching, she just needed to talk to her elder brother. If he wouldn't listen, she would fetch Dorothy. Dani felt embarrassed at being brushed aside so lightly by him and she stamped her foot again. "No. I NEED to talk to you now." She pouted, her eyes blazing more at the embarrassment and annoyance rather than the fury. She turned back to Danton, who from her experience would probably beat Donavon up if he was being treated this way. But, Danielle couldn't afford to get hurt, and so she just put on her wounded face and turned away, leaning against the wall as she watched the ongoing scene.

 

[Dakota Howard]

"No I don't have to shout nor do I care who tell hell hears me" Dakota look at the girl besides her brother than back at Don. "And why the hell are we gathering like the freaking Brady bunch? Did someone died and were getting more cash or something?" she hazily ask, giving two rat ass about anyone else in her family. Than she heard the whining cries of Danielle, which made her annoyed as hell. "What do you need to tell him? just say it DANIELLE for peaks sakes he's not with anyone important!" Dakota shouted, her younger sibling can be such a pain in the arse. Seriously this family is Dakota worst misery, except for Don. She just wasn't to hot to see his ex sitting right next to him. Skank.
