Out Feeding The Ducks (Open)

[Sarah Abbot Zashterly]

Sarah had been to the kitchens at Hogwarts and she had grabbed a couple bag of bread for feeding the ducks at 'The Lake'. She loved to go and feed the ducks at 'The Lake' it was a peaceful place. It was a nice sunny day in the month of August and there were lots of ducks out on the lake swimming around. She laid out a blanket on the grass near the edge of 'The Lake' and listened to the sounds of the ducks quacking. She was wearing a nice white summer dress and her long golden hair was reflecting the light beautifully. She opened one of the bags of bread and took out a couple pieces of bread and started breaking it up into small pieces throwing it out to the ducks. The ducks loved it and all of them in a matter of seconds were there by the side of 'The Lake' she was sitting on.

Alexandria decided that she would go down to the Lake to see the cute little ducks. On her way down there, she saw Mrs. Zastherly, aka Richard's mom. She didn't want to walk right up to her, so she stood on the side of the lake. She looked up at smiled at her, giving her a small wave.

Lexi had a feeling that she wanted to talk to her, figure out why her son was dating Lexi. Or..maybe not! Lexi just shrugged off the thought and sighed.

Sarah had been feeding the ducks some bread she had got from the 'Kitchens' when she saw a student she knew to be Alexandria. She knew Alexandria was a fine girl from the house of Gryffindor and got good grades. Her son Richard had been speaking about her a lot lately at dinner time and how he was now dating her. She knew she was a couple years older then Richard but she was please with her son's choice. She thought her son Richard would do good with a girl older then him and perhaps her maturity in age could rub off on him. She was very loyal to her husband and whatever his plans were except when it came to one thing. She had never told him this but she had a plan and had from her first child's birth had been making sure it happened. She was determined that there children eventually get to make their own choices on weather or not in the end they followed their fathers footsteps in being evil.

She turned and waived to Alexandria as she started walking towards her. When she got to where Alexandria had been standing she put out her hand smiling and gave her a nice warm greeting. "Hello Alexandria how are you today?" "The weather is great out I thought I would come out and feed the ducks." "My son Richard speaks about you all the time during dinner time." "I want you to know that I approve of your dating him." "Your age doesn't bother me I just hope some of your maturity can rub off on him he is quite rebellious as you might of noticed." "Walk with me please." she asked as she started to walk around the 'Lake'. "I've heard great things about your family and find your grades and activities at 'Hogwarts' quite pleasing." "Can I trust you I mean not just with him but in general you seem very trustworthy?" she asked glancing at her quickly as she continued walking.

She remembered how she had looked into Alexandria's school records and found that she seemed to be a very good well behaved student. She had also had their house elf George who was a middle man for the spies her husband used check into Alexandria's other background records not at school. She had gotten a report back that she seemed to be a very honest and trustworthy girl. She had remained silent for two minutes while they continued to walk around 'The Lake' before continuing to speak. "I trust what I'm about to say to you next will be something that you don't repeat to anyone." "Despite what you may of heard about my family that i'm not like my Husband." "There is the part of me I show to him and the world and then there is a secret side of me I only share with my children and those I fill I can trust." "I'm not like my husband and I do not share his morals or his ideals though I try to support him as best as I can when it comes to his plans in life." "I decided when I was first pregnant with Richard that I would not let my children be totally corrupted by my husbands ways and his dislike of those who aren't fully pure-blood. " "I decided I would secretly over time as my children grew up make sure they were given the chance to decide for themselves." "To decide for themselves themselves what they wished their morals to be and or if they followed my husbands plans for them." "I secretly hope that my children will be morally good and choose not to follow their fathers plans for them." "I hope you will influence Richard to that effect as you seem of good moral beliefs and conduct." she said with a smile and stopped walking and turned to face her and gave a look to say that she was done with her speech now and that Alexandria could now reply to her or speak her mind.

[Sorry I haven't been on. I've had a lot of stress in real life and I've been at band camp]

Alexandria smiled at her, following her around the lake.

"Yes ma'am, you can trust me. I am a very trustworthy person, never done a thing wrong." She smiled at her. "I hope I too can rub off onto your son." She then paused, wishing she had worded that differently. "I mean...I hope I can have him become trustworthy and honest and see the same way I do." She hoped Sarah knew what she meant.
