The Will of Alphonse Snow

[Isaac Snow]

Isaac Snow tightly gripped a small copper key within his hand. He had convinced Theodore to actually get up off his lazy butt a day or so ago to get him the key to the meeting room. That boy was awful hard to push into anything he didn't want to do. But it was important that they had the room for family purposes. The hallway was quiet and still filled with debris from the feud that had gone on less than a couple of months ago. It would have been taken care of but they remodeling the Manor itself and this part had yet to really be fixed to anyone's liking. The meeting room was untouched though and Isaac quickly unlocked it with the key before opening it. Today was March 14th, 2028 and it was the date in which Alphonse's Will would be read off to his four eldest children's and their spouse or partners. He stated in the letter that whether or not they were up to seeing family or coming back to the Manor or not, it would be in their best interest to come. There was a lot of things to be given up and even though Alphonse claimed he hated all of his older children, he wasn't shy about what he left them either. Money, property, possessions. All of Alphonse's were entitled to some thing too but that had already been divvied up between them. Now it was all the children's turn. Well the four oldest, the younger ones got some things too much they were at school currently and the older ones were entitled to more. Isaac would love to hold this off until June but before the major revisions to the Manor could be made this stuff needed to be given away. The inside of the room was cool and a lot darker than he ever imagined it being. Then again the entire Manor seemed to feel like that these days. There was at least nine or ten seats available as well as two long couches. The dark brown folder that was within Isaac's hands he set down onto the large round table by one of the chairs. Then he approached the window and lifted open the shades slightly. He wished the little brats would arrive already.​

[Theodore Snow]

From the very moment, Theodore's father was pronounced dead and him now in charge of running the family things had become very different for the young Death Eater. For starters he had been receiving more respect now than he ever had in his life. People sought out to make sure that he was happy and that he was feeling alright. They hadn't done that since his mother was alive so long ago. He almost like the attention at first but when it persisted and started to branch of as them asking for stuff to be done, he found a reason to dislike it and a reason to start pretending that he had better things to do. It was laying but at least it kept them off of his back. Running things as a leader was difficult, far more difficult than it was at school. Now he had to sign stuff, go through documents to find dates and names of people, oh and he had also go through and track through all other family member's and get a small prick of blood from all of those married in or born in. Without it the tree would not update itself like it should and then he would lose track of people and his aunt warned about stuff like that happened when he least expected it. And the biggest and probably most overwhelming aspect of his life right now was the fact that he recently found out that he was going to be a father. He found his father to even be less scary than this was. Not that he was upset about it. He found it to be an amazing fact, he was just scared to death of being a father at such a young age. He didn't want to turn out like his own father and he wasn't sure if he knew what he was doing. Leading Aleyha to where the meeting was was being held he laugh softly as the two of them discussed on something about keeping dragons in the backyard or something. It made little to no sense to probably anyone else but to them it sounded like a good idea. He had to really try to keep Aleyha's mood up lately because not only did he want to make sure she was okay, her mood swings were deadly. Theodore opened the door and let Aleyha go in first before his eyes met with his uncle's and Theodore sat down quietly at the chair furthest from the man. He was a little bit uncomfortable about being in the same room as his four oldest siblings. Not only did he not get along with all of them, but all four of them were probably going to have some fits or two over who got what. At least he had Aleyha here to keep him company and such.

[Aleyha Snow]

Feeling four months pregnant was something else. She was wearing maternity clothing now. Her shirt was loose and the color of a dark purple, close to ebony. Aleyha also was wearing black sweat pants too, walking around without real shoes as she was wearing flip flops. True, her moods were even worse now, the morning sickness was gone and she had only thrown up twice during her pregnancy. Theodore and herself were expecting, but she had refused and refused to see what gender they were having. She swore up and down that they were going to be having a boy first, but some others thought that it would be too early to tell right now. And though her hands were on her stomach, she walked with Theodore as he and herself about keeping a dragon in the backyard. Though she was actually being serious about it too. She wanted to have a dragon in her backyard. She thought that she would have a good dragon keeper within their mists somewhere. Taming dragons could not be that bad. They were not really snakes, but maybe they could understand Parseltongue anyway. She wanted to try it, but these thoughts she would not say this right now anyway. And right now they were on the way into the special room where they were going to meeting with Isaac Snow over the will of Alphonse. Aleyha was only here for Theodore and that was it. She did not want to be here for anyone else. Just him. Her mood would probably sour once everyone else arrived, one for the most part she did not want to see and that was Alyssa because she was married to an Auror, a stinking Auror that would or could hunt down her precious husband. Aleyha took a seat next to Theodore also pretty far away from Isaac, and her red eyes shone with distraught and anger now. Her mood, which was good, just soured just as quickly as her mood swings came and went. Pregnant women would not really compare to the moods that she had.

 

[Xavier Snow]

Xavier thought it was a little ridiculous with the way everyone was acting over this death thing, like it was the worst thing in the entire world. Sure Xavier found it to be sad and numbing, but he wasn't going to act like he couldn't live without his father. His father was a cruel man and perhaps him being gone would be a positive thing for the family. He could hurt anyone after this point and they could focus on the good times they had with him. Xavier intended to do that but it got extremely difficult when everyone else around him was depressed all the time. He would be arriving with the rest of his siblings to hear out his father's will. He didn't expect to really get much of anything that he wanted but it was something and it gave him a chance to see his siblings again. He rarely saw Alyssa and Vincent thanks to him and his former best friend having an argument. Plus he walked in on them doing stuff and it was still a little awkward for him. Theodore and Aleyha he actually tried to avoid though. They were little creepers to him and he figured that being around them would only cause him pain. Then there was Gabrielle. She on the other hand avoided him. Xavier guessed it was because of her new boyfriend. He had heard that she moved in with him and that she was pregnant at one point. What happened to her after that, he wasn't sure of. Xavier Apparated to the Snow Manor with Jezebella and his twins. He was babysitting and since he could not find someone to watch them he was forced to bring them along. Lolita was being held by his 'wife' while Xavier himself was holding his son, Lysander. Xavier headed over to the main meeting room and opened the door. His eyes landed on Theodore and Aleyha, the latter which made his raise his eyebrow. Oh god they were breeding too. "Oh boy.." He muttered to himself as he walked past the two and sat on the other couch, away form them. Lysander gurgled happily and took this moment to grab a hold of one of the cushions. As long as he wasn't crying, it was cool with Xavier.

[Jezebella Hurley-Snow]

Even after all this time, Jezebella still barely considered Xavier Snow a good husband at all. She did not know if she would have preferred the other husband though. Jezebella did not know if she would want Xavier around much longer, and the probation period was still going on. However, over the death of Alphonse Snow, Jezebella had no idea how to comfort Xavier. She never lost anyone, so she was just around whenever he wanted to talk about it, and she did not want to pressure it out of them. Jezebella was unsure of why she even wanted to be here anyway with him. But she ultimately agreed when she knew what it was all about. Jezebella had not really met a lot of Xavier's siblings, but she did see more of Alyssa and Vincent than she wanted to be. Jezebella thought it was rather funny, but she did not speak of it for the sake of respect. And she knew when and where to hold her tongue. Jezebella was taught that as she aged. Jezebella walked through the manor with Lolita in her hands, though she had fought and fought not to hold her because she was not fond of children at all. She herself made sure that she was never really pregnant. She never wanted to be. She followed her husband over to the couch, and sat down. She wanted to set Lolita on the ground, and she narrowed her eyes at the others in the room. Everyone seemed so tense or something. A cruel smirk came over her lips and she mused aloud to herself, "Oh looks like someone's head might get ripped out. How lovely." She glanced down at Lolita whom seems to be sleeping at the moment. The moment she found out about Xavier's children, Jezebella had gone off the deep end. She hated the fact that he was stupid enough to have children with someone, and then get on to others about having sex. He was no saint. Jezebella continued to watch in silence, holding a baby she never wanted to touch.​

 

[Gabrielle Kovac]

Gabrielle didn't really see the point of this whole Will thing. Of course she vaguely understood that some people wanted their most prized possessions to be given to their loved ones. It was just confusing to her because she thought that Alphonse hated all of his children that were not born by Nataliia, so why would he give them anything. Gabrielle didn't trust the situation. There was something going on and she was not going to let her guard down until she got down to the bottom of it. Plus she was ordered by her mother via letter that she should keep an eye on the Snow's for a little bit. Only because no one was really sure if all those who were against Theodore taking over were really all gone and done away with. Today, whether or not she trusted the situation, she decided to actually come and see what her dear old father decided to leave her and whatever else would be discussed there. Gabrielle slowly walked beside Colton, she was glad he came with her today because he didn't have to if he didn't want to come. She liked that he did though, she felt a lot more relaxed when he was around. Plus he'd be able to learn a little bit more about her history and life before she met him. He had never been inside the Snow Manor before but since there was a lot of debris from the battle, she didn't think he would be impressed anyways. At least he didn't have to see the blood. "I'll give you a fair warning, we argue...a lot." Gabrielle stated as she paused in front of the door and turned to smile softly at him. She would have leaned in to kiss him but she ended up growing a little nervous about one of her siblings coming along and bothering him so she just turned and opened the door and waited for Colton to come on after her before she closed the door behind them. First thing her eyes went to immediately was Theodore and Aleyha. Gabrielle remembered that Theodore and Colton had never met, but her thoughts didn't remain on that long because she noticed that not only was Aleyha pregnant, but Xavier also had his children here with him. That was like a nice bit hit to the gut. They all had children or were going to have children, while she couldn't even manage to stay pregnant. Gabrielle was sure Colton could feel her tense up but she ignored her thoughts and sat down on the sofa, leaving enough room for her boyfriend to sit next to her. Having him close would keep her calm.​

[Colton Kovac]

Like Gabrielle, Colton Kovac had no idea what the point of this was. Then again, when his own father died, they did not have to read out a Will to several siblings or anything. He did not know if he had even inherited anything from his father, and he really did not care if he did or not. Colton did not think that inheriting things after a family member passes was not really something that should really happen. But he did not really want to think about it either. He knew what Gabrielle was going through, losing a father. But he did not recall his being murdered that is. Colton was only here to keep Gabrielle in a calm mood, and he would not have anything else done actually. Colton wanted to be sure that he was the one that would protect Gabrielle from any harm that could or would befall her. He could help her emotionally as well. He nodded once when she said that they argue a lot. He knew how that felt with him and Adrian. Though half the time, it was more or less just Adrian doing the yelling and Colton throwing everything else back at him for all he was worth. Once they entered a big room, with chairs and couches, his eyes gazed around the place, looking at Xavier whom had twins, and then a pair of blondes, that he had never seen before. The woman looked like she was just out of school or something, and she was pregnant. Colton let out a silent sigh, and he would have to pretend that this would not bother him because Gabrielle and Colton could never even keep her pregnant long enough to have a child together. He took a seat next to her, and reached for her hand to hold. This would be one long meeting, he could sense it.​

[Alyssa Chevalier]

Alyssa was really nervous to meet up with her family today. It was only a Will reading for her father that they were gathering for, but Alyssa was still very aware that her family hated her right now. It was all because she chose her happiness over their wishes. They disliked that she had fallen in love with and also married the enemy. An Auror in the family was like the end of the world to them. Well to everyone but Gabrielle and Effie whom both didn't care either way who was in the family. They were the only two not to blow a fuse every time she brought Vincent around. The blonde haired beauty figured that eventually whether she liked it or not they would exile her completely and make it so that she wouldn't even be allowed inside the home any longer. Which would honestly not bother her one bit, she had her happiness with her right now and there was so way they could eliminate that from her without her putting up a fight. The only family she felt that she truly had anymore was Vincent and his father. It was a small family but there were there for her and that was what made this so special for her, Aurors willing to look after someone that came from a family full of Death Eaters. They could have not trusted her but instead they did and she was grateful for that at at least. Alyssa walked slowly though the Manor hallway, her smaller hand was encased by her husband's larger one and the silliest little grin was on her face right now. Her husband always knew how to make her smile, she was glad he came with her today. Especially with how exhausted and emotional she had been lately. Her father's death must be taking a lot out of her. Opening the door, Alyssa walked inside and instantly felt the hate. Particularly from her brother Theodore and Aleyha. All she could do was bite her lip softly and look up at Vincent, telling him that she was already uncomfortable. It had been a long time since she had really seen her brother, he looked older and even more angry if that was even at all possible. Continuing to hold her husbands hand she went over to the couch where Colton and Gabrielle were sitting, it was built to hold four people so she sat down next to her sister with a soft smile. One thing she did notice when she sat down was that Aleyha looked a bit...big to her. "Hello everyone, I hope you have all been well." Alyssa tried to be polite and start a conversation or something with them. They would probably get upset with her for this or something though.​

<i></i>

 

[Vincent Chevalier]

Vincent could just feel Alyssa being nervous about this today. She had every reason to, because her family seemed to hate her for some reason. Why they hated her, he would never understand seeing that he came from a family of Aurors and Healers. One would think that she would be loved for having to be one of those that would have to sometimes think like a Dark Arts user just to get the job done. Then again, no one seemed to think like he did either, not in the Snow family. Vincent held her hand to support her along the way, and no matter what, she would have a family to go home to. The Chevalier family, be that there are very few of them left, were still there for her and would remain there. Vincent was very unaware that her family was full of Death Eaters. He could never tell it, and he was having issues with seeing it. He only suspected those that seemed like the type to really hurt anyway. As soon as they entered the door, he could just see the loathing from Aleyha's and Theodore's eyes. Vincent was even more mortified that Theodore was expecting too. Vincent released her hand for the time being, and wrapped his arm around Alyssa. He thought that Aleyha should have been in school by now, unless she was the one that was expelled. Vincent took a seat next to Alyssa, smiling over at Gabrielle and Colton. He gazed over to Xavier for a moment, before quickly shifting his eyes to Alyssa and he whispered, "Shouldn't Aleyha be in school?"​

 

[Isaac Snow]

</COLOR>

<COLOR color="#000">Isaac felt a little bit tense with all eight of them now here. It was bad enough with the four Snow children here but he had no idea what the other four were capable of doing. Oh well, he wasn't going to let them shake him off too much, after all he was older than them by at least twenty or so years which meant he had more magic ability and experience than any of them did. "Wow your a gloomy bunch. You look as if someone just died." Isaac tried to crack a bit of humor to get some laughter but all he managed to get was a snort from Xavier and glaring blue and green eyes from the rest of them. The spouses he didn't pay much attention to but he could guess they weren't amused either. Apparently they weren't all ready to be humored by anything or anyone. "Ohhhkay then, was just trying to bring a little humor out." He started. 'Our father just died you imbecile, humor is the last thing we really want to hear right now.' Gabrielle cut out causing all eyes to shift to her. Isaac couldn't also help but give her an intensified look of his own. She was just like her mother. And Isaac already hated that more than he was willing to deal with. "Watch your mouth. Just because your mother allows you to waltz around and mouth off to everyone, doesn't mean I'll let you speak that way to me." Isaac was relieved when she stayed silent, but her eyes narrowed even further and before he knew it he felt the eyes of the others on him. He cleared his throat and decided that it was just best to let this run it's course and hope that the rest of them didn't have any smart remarks lined up. Finally Issac Snow sat up and pulled out an envelope that supposedly contained the Will. "I know I wasn't around for the majority of your lives guys but, he was my little brother. We're living in a very dark hour right now, and I just want you all to know that things are about to get rough. So are you all ready for this?" Isaac asked as he looked down at the envelope. By dark hour he meant that leadership was changing, families were being taken over, attacks were happening, it was getting harder.​

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore didn't like being in a room full of strangers, well they weren't exactly strangers but the people that he didn't know bothered him. With sharp hearing and the quietness of the room he was able to hear Vincent whisper something to Alyssa and he snorted. "Thats none of your business Auror." He said the word Auror as if he were talking about the lowest and dirtiest thing in the entire world and shot a look Vincent's way. It was disgusting to think of him being all over his twin. Finally Theodore's green eyes shifted to the guy and the girl he had never met before, the ones who had come here with Gabrielle and Xavier. Theodore's tall and toned form rose up from the couch. "So...who the hell are you two?" He asked as he pointed at them both, his eyes narrowing for a moment before he shrugged his shoulder and walked over to Isaac, his hands easily snatched the envelope from Isaac and he turned it within his hands curiously. It was in Alphonse's handwriting too, which meant that he had really written this out instead of someone making it up. Theodore still didn't trust the situation and allowed Isaac to take it back before he let out a breath of annoyance and sat himself back down next to Aleyha. "I don't really see much that we should be scared of. I mean after all it's not lik-oh wait...the Auror's here. Better save that story for later." He snickered when he saw Alyssa give him a glare. He actually didn't mean anything by that sentence, he just wanted to get the two goody two-shoes going. When Gabrielle shot him a look too he started to wonder if she was standing up for Alyssa or if she was just getting annoyed with everyone in this room in general.​

<i></i>

 

[Aleyha Snow]

Aleyha almost sneered in pure hatred when she saw Alyssa and Vincent enter in. The rest did not bother her as much but it was that Auror that she hated. She hated their types and thought that they did not belong here even if Alyssa had the same mother. She hissed out, in perfect English, "Who let the trash in?" Aleyha did a circular motion on her stomach, swollen and large with her son or daughter growing inside. She enjoyed the closeness she received from her first child, and she could not wait to give birth to see what she would be having. She thought about setting up a baby shower, but she did not want to really have a lot of people she did not like showing up. With her temper rising with each and every day, she was throwing out curses left and right. Aleyha glanced up when he said that things were getting rougher, and she believed it. But Aleyha did not know what exactly, and she did not think that she would be affected by it much. She wanted to have her baby and then have her life planned out. Perhaps even join the Death Eaters. Theodore was going to be with her forever in her mind, and they would have a family. Though she was wondering what was going on that is so bad.​

 

[Xavier Snow]

Xavier turned and gave Theodore and Aleyha a look. They were certainly on the mouthy side today, then again he remembered them always being like this. Rude and always trying to tear down the others that they felt necessary and Xavier could feel that right away Gabrielle wasn't appreciating. She even looked tense from where he could see. He felt bad for Alyssa and Vincent too who were clearly the outcasts of the group as they seemed to be getting all sorts of hateful looks and comments. He admired his sister for being strong enough to not take it to heart, she sat there and took it like, well a man would. Then again Alyssa was far too dainty to get out there and challenge Theodore about anything, no that was usually Gabrielle's job because she was far too much like Danielle and Danielle took crap from no one. "Honestly Isaac I think it was a dumb idea to invite four people who cannot stand one another into the same room. I mean, you have the two neo-nazi's here." He motioned towards Theodore and Aleyha. "Then the heartless b*tch." Then Gabrielle. "Then finally you have the saint here who struts herself to her husband way too much to really live by her title while her husband shows her off like a little trophy." He shrugged his shoulders and almost laughed when Alyssa gasped. Oh it was no secret that Vincent paraded her around like a little doll on his arm. Showing her off to men like she was a little trophy. Sitting back down he rolled his eyes when Gabrielle commented about him being an alcoholic who doesn't know when to shut his mouth so they were all even. He could have retorted back but he just shook his head and told Isaac to hurry up and read the Will.​

[Jezebella Hurley-Snow]

Jezebella snorted and she could not help but see just how everyone was acting in the room. The strong Hurley deliberately ignored the blonde pretty boy's question and turned her attention to Lolita on her lap. As much as she hated kids, even those that were by her husband's, she was going to have to pretend that she was more interested than this one. However, Jezebella had to duck her head when the pretty boy's wife ended up throwing a curse from across the room, but she was settled back down fortunately. Seems like everyone here was at each other's throats, and she was just wanting to leave. She saw no reason to be here. However, she could not just leave the two babies with Xavier. What if someone threw another curse and killed one of them? Then again, why should she worry about it? Jezebella was more or less like a spirit that was chained down, and was betting on death or Xavier to get alcohol poisoning. She had to seek out someone who could scare that out of him, then maybe he would be someone that she could tolerate, and not want to strangle. Gabrielle seemed to hit Xavier right on the nail with her description. She wanted to add on more, but she really did not feel the need to. Everyone in here knew him more than she did. So, why bother?​
