Dave grunted as events unfolded, The little blonde kid dove for him and other forms of chaos erupted, he side-stepped the diving vhild leaving him to land on his face. He then flipped his wand out of his popckte and Yelled " Immobulous" Freezing the action of the owl and five year old, it would end in a precious few seconds so he snatched the owl by the talons holding it upside downand returning it to it's cage. "Madam? Would you like me to take care of your Boy?" She asked Meadow Very calmly knowing if there was an injury as long as there wen't any serious things, torn ligiments, broken bones ...etc. he would be able to heal it.

Thunderstruck. Purely thunderstruck. This man came out of nowhere, hadn't even been introduced, pulled his wand out on a muggle child, and then asked if she wanted him to look at her grandchild? Well that just didn't sit too well with Meadow Rose. She didn't mind that he'd helped, but immobilizing her baby? No matter how short of a time he'd be under the spell, what exactly would she tell her husband if Freddy said anything about the incident.
"That's quite all right," she said rather lip-tight. "I think I'll be able to handle it, thank you." Meadow Rose marched over to Freddy as quickly as she could before the charm wore off, maybe she'd be able to make him think it hadn't happened and it was all a part of his over-active imagination. As soon as she'd made her path to the child, the owner of the bird stood up to tell the woman a piece of his mind. And she responded, quite quickly indeed. "Sir, this child hasn't ever seen an owl in the daytime, much less one at all. He's merely five years old. What would you expect from a boy that young?"
With that, Meadow Rose turned on her heel. Freddy, once again able to move, was attached to her hand as she dragged him away from the area for the moment. She wanted to stop all thoughts he'd had about what had happened, and she wanted to talk to him about what he did of course. Felicity was left to do as she pleased for a moment.
It was interesting, she'd never saw someone pull a wand out as quickly as the man had. Then again, she'd mainly grown up in the muggle world, so it was rare that she'd ever saw someone with a wand to begin with. Of course, Meadow Rose had taught the girl a few things with her own wand, a part of the education she'd given her. But to see someone in action, performing a spell out of nowhere, was amazing to the girl. Her light brown eyes immediately turned to the man, wide.
"That was incredible! I've never saw something like that." Of course, Felicity was still worried about Freddy, but she knew her mum would take of it. At the moment, she was allowed to let her mind re-play the whole scene over and over. She still wondered who the man was, but she didn't bother asking Artemis as she held her hand out to the boy on the ground.

Art's face went livid, when he hit the concrete his face was scraped and a slight dribble of fell from his face-plat position. He Ignored Felicity rolling to his left behind the man and Kicking his way to his feet. Art Smirked as he landed in the familiar position He loved the two feet kick up it was fun and useful. He again dove for the man around the ankles, dead silent in comparison to the crowd.
Anita's face dropped when she saw her son dive for Davvie she knew he fought but she couldn't believe how good he was at it he was a natural like he knew his strengths and played to them. " ARTY! STOP THIS INSTANT! This is Mr. Almeida a very old, very.......... Close friend of mine." The pause was rather long and well needed because she did not wish to bring up her and David's in-depth history... together. Someone Like Meadow might have picked up with her choice of words.
At his mother's words of 'stop' it Art regained control and instead of making the final Jump for the dive at his ankles her straightened up and in a fast walked brushed the man with his shoulder and coming around front of him he noticed Meadow holding the boy who seemed paralyzed with fear, Art still uneasy ensures his wand was out, it wasn't much he just graduated his first year but what he could do was more than what his mother could do for sure. " And you are?" He questioned the man harshly demanding the name rather than asking.

Dave frowned slightly but when Anita yelled about her son he took the chance and remained still his wand hanging by his side."My name? well now, I am Mr. Almeida and I assume you are Artemis." Dave said confidently though inside he was slightly boiling, So quick to attack at his Mother's scream I should thank him for protecting her but he still attacxke me wasn't Ani gonna tell her about me? "Sorry about that Ma'am but I needed to stop the little one and the owl. I am sorry it is just an Ex-auror reaction stop the Chaos and gain control over the situation." He told Meadow hopeing she would understand.

Again, the change in behavior of the boy was strange, but Felicity brushed it off as it was made obvious by Artemis' mum he didn't know the man. She stood back and watched the scene play out in front of her; she was a bit torn between thinking he'd turned mad and helping him with whatever it was he was doing. Though she chose the former over the latter, after all she didn't really know what was going on. So as of that moment, Artemis had been turned mad, she just hoped it didn't last long.
Meadow Rose did indeed pick up on what Anita meant, very old and very close. Of course, it wasn't hard to figure out that they were close, but the old part rather caught her. She understood about Artemis' reaction and Anita's as well, especially if it was her husband she'd lost, but if this man was close enough to be able to be as fond as he seemed of the younger woman, it'd mean they weren't close enough to tell Artemis about it. Well, life had funny ways of working out, in this case it meant Artemis just found out.
To the man, Meadow Rose nodded. Of course she understood, but still she was a bit frustrated with the fact he'd pulled his wand on her muggle grandchild, then again he didn't know Freddy was a muggle. In fact, no one there did know, the way she'd prefer to keep it.
((sorry about this post, I'm just feeling kind of blah at the moment.))

" Yes I'm Artemis Tayern," Art said harshly like the man will accept it no options offered he continued not asking but demandingly "What business do you have with me and my mother?" He wasn't happy and that was easily seen the way he sttod it was as if he were ready to tackle the man with every ounce of his unimpressive bodyweight jsut to protect his mother. His blue eyes usually cold and analizing were firey and ful of rage and hate for the man whom had scared his mother and cause him to react. the blood on his cheek dribbled down to his jaw line where it hung for a moment and fell to the concrete ground, Art ignored the slioght stinging of the small wound.
"Artemis! you be Nice to him, Dave...Er Mr. Almeida is an old Friend of mine and I want you to respect him as such, He always tries to get me by suprise and you would do well to just realx and stay to your own." She adressed her boy, though not harshly firmly. The youth had been runde after all but she was still slightly in shock about how quick everything had happened. " Sorry Dave Dear Art is a little protective of me, but where are my manners? Meadow/ Thsi is david Almeida he works for the ministry and is a close friend of mine." she said gentally though one could see something she felt for the man in her eyes.

Meadow Rose smiled at the newcomer, a rather wiry smile, she had yet to decide what she thought of the man despite her own daughter's liking of his quickness with magic. Not being one without many manners, she stepped toward the man and offered her hand in gesture. "It's nice to make your acquaintance Mr. Almeida. I'm Meadow Hjort, my daughter Felicity, and my grandson Freddy," she nodded at each in turn.
Again, she'd picked up on a few of the feelings between Anita and David, but didn't dare comment of course. Not only was it none of her business, but it was highly rude to make such suggestions of anyone in such circumstances, that being the children. Freddy had calmed down and chose to wander closer to Felicity who took his small hand and guided him a bit farther away from the adults. She knew it was time for her mum to partake in the 'adult' conversation, and had no qualms with playing around with Freddy to take his mind off of events.
"I spy with my little eye, something" she paused as she looked around for something for the boy to guess. "Something dark red." Her eyes had caught sight of a sign where the first letter, 'A' was a dark red, the other letters in a shimmery black. The game would keep the younger boy amused and out of trouble while her mum talked with Mrs. Tayern and Mr. Almeida.

Dave stiffened at the boy's attitude, " Relax Junior, I'm not here to hurt anyone OK? Now run along and play with the other young ones we can talk later Mr. Tayern." He turned his attention from the rude boy, and to Meadow and dearest Anita. He smiled and shook her hand after stowing his wand in a sheath that was on his upper right leg. " Please the pleasure is mine, you have a beautiful family." he said softly his voice losing the edge it posessed when it corrected the boy and stopped the scene. His eyes met each one of the introducees and resumed to look around in the crowd keeping himself aware of his surroundings, Lovely Anita was a squib and was quite defenseless in the magical world, though she did have a tendancy to be able to make a few potions.

Art grumbled softly, yet he stepped away to Felicity, art duely noted the Dark red 'A' and simply said, "the red 'A' Freddy, but you can go again." He stood near Felicity and whispered in her ear so only she could hear, "I spy with my little eye a complete idiot with less brains than a kindergartner." Art really disliked this guy and it showed, his eyes remained on his wand arm, his right hand which had shook Meadow's and returned to his side hanging there he noted on his left hand he clung to his mother's hand, "Oh god... no what about Dad? He may be dead but NO NEVER" he thought to himself.
Anita ignored Art's grumble and smiled sweetly at Dave and Meadow.

Quickly covering her mouth, Felicity was able to subdue the laughter before it became too apparant to the adults speaking. While she didn't find it right to judge herself, she didn't mind listening to Artemis speak his mind about the subject. Allowing her light brown eyes to search around for another spied object, they landed on something she found almost amusinh. She then turned her attention back to Freddy to keep the game going. "I now spy with my little eye, something green."
Freddy, now occupied looking for the green object Felicity spied, was good to have his attention kept for a minute. Shifting her mouth closer to Artemis' ear she whispered back, "Do you really dislike him that much?" It'd become apparant that the boy didn't know who the man was, but she also didn't really see what he'd done to rile Artemis either, other than talk to him like a much younger person than he was. A small grin formed on her lips as Freddy spieled out green objects that were around them. A small patch of grass, a book in the window, the picture of green ice cream, he was taking his time to figure out the answer.
"Thank you," Meadow Rose replied to David. He seemed a well-mannered man, but she still reserved judgement. "Now Mr. Almieda, you said you're an ex-auror?" she questioned. While she didn't think he was nearly old enough to retire, she wondered if he had or if he was employed elsewhere. "What is it you do now?"

Art smirked softly put on a goofy face and muttered an slow halting english with a cross-eyed glare " Me Almeida... Me ex-auror, me got fired." He liked the sound of her laugh it was beautiful, like music. it was completely obvious of art's hate and jelousy, for the man he hated Almeida for who he was and what he stood for in Art's eyes.
Anita sighed softly as she saw her son's behaivior out of the corner of her bright blue eye. Shje ignored it not wanting ehr son to become angry.

"Artemis!" she said quickly as she grabbed the young boy's arm. It was funny, but she didn't really want her newest friend to get into trouble either. The giggles subsided for the moment, and she quickly turned her attention to Freddy as he tugged on her sleeve. "Yes, darling?" she asked her nephew.
"I know what you spied," he replied in the soft voice he owned. Lifting his other hand not attached to Felicity, he pointed at the Slytherin boy's hair. "It's 'im. Innit?" Of course, he'd been right. Felicity had spied Artemis' hair, and the younger boy had finally guessed correctly. Nodding slightly, Felicity looked down to the boy. "That'd make it your turn now, what do you spy?"
Freddy looked around the area to find something he could spy with his own little eyes. While he worked on it, Felicity turned back to Artemis and again leaned in close enough for him to hear what she whispered. "He can't be all that bad if your mum likes him, now can he?" Of course, he really could've been, Felicity had no real idea.
