Lucie stared at the woman who just came in, she recognised her ''Oh my god...'' She said to herself and turned back to Zander ''That was my sister... we haven't been in touch for about four years'' She said.

"I have an older sister, too," Zander added. "But we haven't seen her in ages. She's a curse-breaker in Egypt and she's really into her work. I don't suppose Athena made it home for the funeral?" He was starting to relax now, but he wasn't sure if it was the drink, the conversation, or the company. He sighed. "If that's your sister, you should go talk to her."

''Mmm i don't know'' Lucie said looking at Zander's face ''I'll catch up with her later'' She said, she didn't want to leave him when he was relaxed.

"Are you sure?" he asked. "I don't want to keep you from her. I'm OK, really..." He protested only slightly, since he really didn't want her to leave.

''Its alright, i'll stay here, another day or whenever i see her won't harm'' Lucie said smiling.

Zander found himself smiling back. "OK, if you're sure," he said. He took another sip, then looked over at her again. "So how are things at Hogwarts? How's Dumbledore doing?"

''He's good'' Lucie said ''This year has been crazy'' She said ''First Elle, my younger sister, got kidnapped by Laitia Kirak who was her godmother, then she brought her back with a memory charm, then at halloween, Elle stabbed Laitia and then Elle collapsed, and then Ian got killed...Now Professor Rothschild and the new Duelling Professor, Voltaire SkipIt, are married and having a baby'' She said sipping her whiskey

"Wow," he said. "That is crazy! I'm really sorry about your sister. How is she? Is she OK?" He thought again about Ian and how he had hardly talked to him in the past few months.

''Yeah, she's alright now'' Lucie said ''She's got to go for a trial though''

"I'm really sorry. That's tough. I really hope she gets through it OK. Those trials can be pretty rough. I had one once. I was in trouble for using magic in front of Muggles. This group of Muggles was threatening Ian and I rushed in to help him, but I couldn't take them all on without magic. I sprayed water at them fron my wand and took off with Ian. We had to modify their memories so that they thought I used a Muggle squirt gun on them." He laughed slightly at the memory. "But the trial was pretty tough. I was almost kicked out of school. I was only in my fourth year."

Lucie laughed a little ''I hope she does get through it alright'' She said finishing her bottle ''I'm sure the minister will understand it was a mistake, her memory only focused on Laitia''

Zander frowned. "Well, you'd better hope it's not all on the Minister to decide. He's a nasty piece of work. Luckily for your sister, Dumbledore is Chief Warlock. He'll make sure she gets a fair trial. I'd have been in trouble in my trial if not for Dumbledore." He sighed and took another sip. He was almost getting too relaxed; so much so that he was starting to feel normal again, like he had before the attack. It was dangerous to let himself feel this way, he knew...
"Um, I was wondering," he said hesitantly, "what do you know about the people who killed Ian?"

''Not much'' Lucie replied ''I remember seeing Delilah Dupree'' She said and continued ''And there was another guy there who looked like one of the band members of the weird sisters... but i can't remember anything else''

"Delilah Dupree..." he repeated. "Yeah, I've heard of her. She's dead now, right? Or, uh dust?" He remembered Greyback had mentioned her before; it seemed they'd had a bit of a rivalry, but he had enjoyed arguing with the vampire.

''Yeah, Emily, the auror killed her'' Lucie said ''Well, i dunno if thats true, i got told that'' She said.

Zander nodded. "That's what I heard, too," he said. "I heard of Emily. She was a Death Eater who switched sides. I think she works with Vincent Corrigan... I only met him the one time. But you don't know what happened to the other guy?"

''No idea'' Lucie said ''People say he's still alive'' She said ''But im sure he was that Jake... but he has a twin.. so it could have been him.. anyway Im sure it was either one of them two'' She replied.

Zander nodded. "Well, I'm going to find him," he said. "And I mean to make him pay for what he did." His voice hardened. "Ian didn't deserve to die like that. I'm sure the jerk who killed him didn't even know his name. Right now... I have nothing to lose. I don't even really have anything to live for. But Ian did. He had you..." He trailed off and looked at her.

Lucie sighed and looked at him ''Don't hurt yourself, Zander, Ian wouldn't have wanted you to'' She said.

He shrugged. "It's a little late for that," he said darkly. "But I promise I'll be careful, OK? I just... I need to do something. To feel useful. You'd do the same for your sister, wouldn't you?"
