January 5th, 1891 — Lestrange Home

Ellory had invited an old classmate over for tea. It was boring and lonely to be married to an Unspeakable. Sometimes, Claude would be missing for days. For the sakes and purposes of this thread, Claude had been at work for two days straight.

It was funny, how Ellory wouldn't even think about her cousin prior to their marriage and now that he was her husband, she got worried every time this happened. She had grown to like Claude. He was a very good husband, perhaps the best she could have gotten from their lot. She would hate to lose him to some Department of Mysteries freak accident, especially with their first child on the way. How would she raise the child on her own, when she was somewhat childish herself?

She had asked her maid to pour some calming potion into her tea, however for the sake of this thread, she gave her one of her "fun" potions that she'd use with her friends at parties. And this potion had ended up in all of the tea and not just Ellory's cup.

"It's so frustrating when I don't even know what's keeping him away from his home and family!" Ellory was complaining to her friend, about her husband's very secretive job.
