It was difficult to Apparate with one person at a time let alone three but Jen seemed to have been able to manage it and she Apparated straight into the foyer of the house in Knockturn Alley. Elijah seemed to have been shaken awake by the Apparation and the Slytherin pulled away from her. Elijah looked up and saw his mother smirk at him before walking through one of the doors. He could already hear the commotion and the cries indignation coming from Christophe no doubt. The place was a circus.
Mentally, Elijah did a roll call. They had Fauve, himself, Jen, Rob, Daniel, Brienne, Christophe, David, Pierre, Dakota and Abbey. So that was ten people in total three of which were below the age of ten. Elijah wondered how many questions his daughter had asked the potion-enthused Frenchman. Rob hadn’t told him much but from what Elijah had gotten out of the Animagus, Rob had been playing around with biology and somehow managed to change Christophe around a bit so he could carry a child. Elijah had pointed out how wrong that was and how irritated David was but Rob seemed too pleased with himself to really care.
“There are a lot of people here tonight,” Elijah spoke softly, shrugging off his jacket as he did so. He looked around the foyer. It wasn’t big but it did the job and there were enough doors leading off to different rooms that made Elijah wonder how big the house really was. For a Knockturn alley home it wasn’t a dark house. Rob and Jen had brightened it up with pastel colours. Obviously the doom and gloom of Azkaban had gotten to them and Elijah was glad really. He didn’t think Fauve could handle constant darkness. She hated night time as it was.
Elijah hung his jacket up and unbuttoned a few of the buttons of his shirt. He stretched and he heard some of his joints click. He looked at Brienne and Daniel to check they were okay. It was time to play host Eli figured. “Do you want to eat first?” He asked. “I don’t think you really want to eat with the rest of the hoard or you’ll risk being stripped and redressed multiple times.” He smirked. “I don’t know what they’ve got but we can go and grab some.” He said, heading towards the door Jen had disappeared through.
