[P] Cell 6 ~ Ophelia Vladislav [P][2][2]

[Lord Sanguini Fuilteach]

**Turns to Ophelia, smiling a fatherly smile**

Now then, that wasn't so bad, was it?

**Wrenches the cell door open with his bare hands, and holds out his arms to his daughter**

Now, darling, as soon as the cur returns with the paperwork you can go home with me, or go back to your husband. Whichever you like, although we do need to organise your hearing with the Vampire Council...

[Ophelia Fuilteach]

*Runs to her father and embraces him tightly*

Thank Vlad Dracul himself you came when you did, Daddy... I thought he was going to torture me again.

*Looks up at her father adoringly and says*

But Daddy... can't you just decide that I should be let off with a caution? You are the head of the council, after all...

[Remus J Lupin]

*reenters with the copies of the offical papers needed for the release and stops dead when he sees the cell door hanging on it's hinges.*

Here are the papers, now if you would kindly leave...

*hands Lord Fuilteach the forms*

[Lord Sanguini Fuilteach]

**Laughs delightedly**

Ah, my daughter, you are the stars in my night sky, do you know that?

**Smiles at Lupin as he walks in**

Good lad...

**Takes a self-inking quill out of his cloak pocket, signs the parchment, and hands it to Ophelia**

Sign just there, darling... Mr. Lupin, I will require you to counter-sign it to say that you have agreed to the release and assume full responsibility for it.

[Ophelia Fuilteach]

*Signs the parchment, like a dutiful daughter, and passes it to Lupin with a sincere smile*

Please tell your friend that I apologise for my actions... and I will send her a... a fruit basket or something. Isn't that traditional for being in hospital?

[Remus J Lupin]

*stares at the woman vampire in disbelief but says nothing, as her father would surely tear his head off*

*signs the parchment and heads to the door. He was more than ready to put this night behind him.. If he could that was*

[Lord Sanguini Fuilteach]

**Nods and separates the three copies, handing one to Lupin and folds up two before tucking them into his cloak pocket**

I am ever so grateful that this whole messy affair could be cleaned up without any unpleasantness. I bid you a good evening, Remus Lupin, and pray that should our paths cross again, it will be under more sociable circumstances.

**Puts his arm around his daughter's shoulder, his cloak protecting her from the cold**

[Ophelia Fuilteach]

*Whispers to Lupin*

Think about what I said... and contact me if you change your mind.

*Walks out with her father, snug under the cloak and feeling very smug that she got out of this without being charged*

[Remus J Lupin]

Yes well, evening

*heads for the exit, dearly hoping there paths would never cross again, under any circumstances*

[Nymphadora Lupin (Tonks)]

**Walks in, just in time to see a cloaked figure and a flash of red hair leaving the room, and nearly collides with Remus**

Merlin's beard! Remus, what's going on?

[Remus J Lupin]

*stares at Dora as she enters, an expression of fierce pain on his face*

Dora.. I... what are you doing back?

*could hardly look her in the eye*

[Nymphadora Lupin (Tonks)]

**Smiles at him**

I was just making sure you're ok. I can be concerned about my husband when there's a hungry vampire around, can't I?

Scarlett should be ok... I spoke to her briefly in St. Mungo's. Wanting to kick the vampire's ass for what she did, so she can't be too poorly if that's the case.

**Her grin fades, and she looks concernedly at Remus**

Remmy, what's wrong? You look ill...

[Remus J Lupin]

I'm fine

*snaps at her*

*frowns*

Look I'm not in the mood for talking, it's been a hard day.

*still can't meet her eyes*

*knows it's not fair to take his feelings out on her, but he wanted to show her just how much of a monster he was, and that she would be better of with out him.*

*whispers*

Why did we do it Dora?

[Nymphadora Lupin (Tonks)]

**Is obviously hurt, and steps away from Remus**

You've had a tough day, Remmy, let's get you home, you'll be ok once you've had something to eat...

**Freezes when he whispers and says**

What do you mean, why did we do it? Why did we do what?

[Remus J Lupin]

*looks into her eyes for a brief moment and then drops them to the ground in front of him.*

Why did we get married, how could I have been so stupid.

*raises his hands to his hair and tugs on it in his anguish, a tear falls from his eye*

What I've done to you, and now our baby...

I should be drawn and quartered
