Esme listened to the small conversation, not really thinking to get into it as they were probably friends and just getting into mild conversation. A smile crossed across Esme's lips as she listened to them talk about school and how Isabelle had changed. As Isabelle had asked Alastor why it was so shocking that she was in love or that someone loved her, Esme spoke.
"Everyone has the ability to love and to be loved. It is not impossible." She told them and then fell silent, not really caring if they continued to talk and hold a conversation as she said nothing.

"It's both since you were always a jerk to people and never let people get to know you enough to maybe like you." Alastor said. "That's why I got over my infatuation on you in school."

Isabella raised her eyebrows at him. "You had a thing for me?" she said, incredulous. "I never even noticed." She sighed. "Look, I... I was hurting back then and I pushed everyone away because I didn't want to get hurt anymore. I always assumed everyone who paid any attention to me was just trying to use me for something. I didn't believe I was capable of love, either, but maybe Esme is right... everyone is capable of it. Even an ice queen like me." She laughed slightly. "Sorry about that slug-vomiting hex I hit you with in your 4th year..."

"It's okay." Alastor replied. "Anyhow, who is the guy?"

"No one you know," she said. "His name is Voltaire. He's odd, but adorable. He makes me laugh... something I never did very often, as you know. We met at the Three Broomsticks." She found herself smiling again at the memory of that night. "Actually, it was that night you came in and saw me."

"I remmebr him. We past as I walked into the pub." Alastor said. "He seems very strange."

She smiled. "Yes, he is strange, but that's what I love about him. He's not like anyone I've ever known." She looked over at Esmerelda. "I'm sorry, you must be bored listening to us talk. It's just that this is the first civil conversation Alastor and I have ever had." She laughed slightly, then said, "Didn't you mention that you met his niece? Was it Sabrina or the little one? How are you doing with those girls, Alastor?"

"What do you mean how am I doing?" He asked a tad confused.

"Well, I know from that past incident with Sabrina that she is a bit troubled," Isabella said. "She reminded me of myself when I started using Dark magic. I don't know the little one, of course, but they've been through a lot already. I was just wondering how they were doing."

"They're doing okay. I haven't been able to talk to Sabrina that much. I'm hoping to adopt them soon." Alastor said. "Natalie is the youngest and she has a strange gift that I'm not sure how she got."

"A strange gift?' Isa repeated. "What kind of gift?"

"She can see how a person will die and whatever secrets someone has. I found out about it when she came to visit Sabrina." Alastor replied.

Esme listened as Alastor and Isabelle spoke. She then heard Alastor say that his niece had a special gift. She was not really that surprised since she noticed Natalie's behavior during their encounter while she was sitting in the tree. Of course, Esme was unsure of what it was, but she knew that there was something special about her.
"This does not really surprise me entirely," she told the two of them. "I noticed her behavior and such, but I did not want to ask her. She is entitled to her secrets and privacy, and I was not planning to invade it. Though, when I sensed that she had a gift, I did not think that it dealt with premonitions about death and such. And you say that you do not know where she got it from?" She questioned and waited

Isabella raised her eyebrows. "She's an Empath?" she said, surprised. "That's a really rare gift. So rare I didn't think they actually existed. She must be very special indeed..."

"All she told me is that she can see people's deaths when she touches them and that she can see secrets but she did tell me that her sister is going to die." Alastor said quietly.

Esme eyed Isabelle as she had said something about an Empath. Being from where she was from, Esme had not even heard of them before. She just sat there in silence and then looked at the two of them. "If it is so rare, then she must be special." For some reason now, everyone's voice had grown quieter than before. And then, Alastor spoke, telling them about how she had seen her own sister's death.
"Did she tell you how...or when?" Esme questioned. She was somewhat worried now that Natalie had seen her sister's death. She just hoped that it may have been a false reading or premonition or something.

"No. But I cannot tell her sister, Sabrina doesn't even believe natalie when she tells her she has a gift." Alastor said. He could feel some tears coming up. "I'm going to do everything in my power to keep them safe, they are the only family I have left."

Esmerelda nodded. She understood that he could not tell Sabrina. Why would he want to? After all, the worst thing for a kid to know was when they were going to die. What kind of person would he be if that happened? Sighing lightly, Esmerelda then looked at Alastor. His voice seemed to break somewhat, but she ignored it somewhat. From the ground where she sat, Esme looked at him and tried to comfort him.
"I understand that you want to keep them safe. Just do anything you possibly can in order to fulfill your job as their guardian and keep them safe. If you need help, I am here to help. I am sure that Isabelle and other people would like to help as well."
She always tried to look on the brighter side of things, wanting everyone to do the same. The more one might look on the worse side of any situation, the less hope they would probably be likely to have. And the less hope that they had, the less they would really care.

"Thank you, Esme. I'd greatly appreciate any help I could get." Alastor said smiling at her. "I'm going to go to my house and calm my nerves. So I'll see you two some other time."
Alastor walked down towards Hogsmeade.

Esme nodded as he had thanked her. She smiled kindly and then watched as he said that he was going to go back to calm his nerves. "Of course. I suppose that I will see you around the school then, Alastor. Until then, goodbye." She watched as he walked off, towards his home, she supposed. She then turned to Isabelle, saying nothing.
