AUGUST TURNER

MENTIONING Reducio @Duvessa Ember

Another business meeting. Seven year old August sighed and shook his head. He wished his father would reserve these meetings for a time when August was away visiting his relatives or during the school year. It was tedious to have to stay in parts of the manor that weren’t occupied by his father and his business partners, especially during the summer months. Being so young, he craved more of his father’s attention than he currently got.

He was bored with simply wandering about, ducking into empty rooms if he heard voices from around corners. Of course, he did keep busy, but at a certain point one can not stand it anymore. A bit of mischief never hurt anybody, particularly when he wasn’t caught. August crept towards the double doors of the main hall where he knew his father’s meeting was taking place. Turning his head so his ear was pressed against the door, he strained to listen to what was being said inside. All that he was able to hear was talk of boring politics and the like.

With a long breath, August turned away from the door and leaned up against it. ”Really father? Politics?” he muttered. What was the point in eavesdropping when the conversation in question wasn’t exciting in the least? He had had just about his fill with these meetings.

Another day. Another trip. Another bunch of long hours cooped up in a manor. Duvessa Ember had grown heartily tired of her father overworking, and mentioned it to him several times, always recieving the same "You're to young, you don't understand." looks and phrases. Lorita spent long hours at school, mother trying to make her go to as any clubs as possible, and that left Duvessa on her own devices.

She roamed the ground mostly but was forced to go on trips with her father because there was no one to take her too. So her she stood, her pale head leaning against the wall, a bemused expression on her face. That's when she saw a boy coming forward through the corridor, listening for all he was worth a the door. Was he interested in politics?

He was muttering something but Duvessa's sharp ears heard.
"Some find it interesting. My father including," She tilted her head sideways towards the door after approaching him from behind. Her tone betrayed nothing that she was thinking, although she wanted to know the boys opinion before leaving. But did she really want to be left here for another hour with no one to talk to?

She looked at him, wondering what he was doing listening by the doors. He wasn't a sneaky child, was he?

MENTIONING Reducio

August’s eyes had fluttered shut as he leaned against the door. He had thought briefly of how angry his father would be if he opened the door and August tumbled inside, but dismissed the worrisome thought. These meetings took hours, and it had only been half an hour since it had started this time. He would have at the very least two or three more hours before it came to a close.

A girl’s voice broke him out of his trance. His eyes flew open, angry for letting her take him off guard. He took a moment to collect himself before answering her. ”Well I most certainly do not. I don’t believe anyone truly finds such things interesting, but talks about them out of necessity.”

From an incredibly young age, August had been taught how to behave to eventually become a well respected member of the Turner family and all of pureblood society. He didn’t have what one would call an abundance of friends, so he was unsure whether all pureblood families taught their children such things. He, for one, was glad his father, and mother when she was alive, had taken it upon themselves to school August about it.

“My name’s August. What’s yours?” he asked cordially.
