Matt had opened his mouth to say something to Rhys when he heard the voice behind him, all words left his mouth as he stood and turned in a fluid motion, he looked at her and felt a great joy in his heart as he stood there looking at her with a dumbfounded look on his face. "Zara?" he asked as he looked at her. ~ Rhys watched the expression on the mans face when his mother spoke, it told him volumes, he knew who this man was now and wanted to just pull out his wand and curse the living daylights out of him, but he restrained himself and just looked at his mom, "Hi Mum." he said.

Zara looked at the man who had turned to her and colourdrained from her features. "Matt?" she whispered. Adolphe looked up sharply as he heard Matt speak. His eyes moved to his brother as he knew exactly how rhys felt. Zara moved away from Matt and went over to Rhys and Adolphe. "It's all sorted out, ok?" She kissed their foreheads lovingly. "i need to get to work."

Matt continued to watch Zara, My sons, I have been talking to my sons. he thought to himself as he watched her kiss their sons on the forehead. "Zara, I need to talk to you" He said to her as he regained control of his body. ~ Rhys continued to watch Matt even after his mother had kissed his forehead, "No you don't" he said as the man said he needed to talk to his mother, "You didn't need to talk to her for the last 15 years" he said coldly, "You didn't even bother to wonder where we had gone did you" he said to Matt

"Rhys." Adolphe said sharpy. "Let them talk." zara turned to him slowly. "Matthew. Now is not really the time." Zaar could feel her head spin. This is not how she wanted things panned out. She had never thought he would stick around.

"Then when will be the time, In another fifteen years?" Matt asked her, "When the boys have grown up so much that I will never be able to know them?" he asked her as he walked towards her, "I have already spent so much of my life missing them that it hurts just knowing that now I might be able to" he said to her. ~ Rhys looked at his brother and sighed, "Fine" he said. he then turned his attention back to the man and his mother, He couldn't even bring himself to call Matt dad or father.

Zara seemed to flinch at his words. "You could have owled." she told him. "So do not make this out to be my fault. I did this for you. I took them so you'd be safe." Adophe had stopped work to watch the exchange. He couldn't quite believe his father was standing there before him.

"It didn't protect me it just separated the people I loved from me" he said to her, "I didn't think of Owling because I was too busy looking for you." he said to her. "I am glad that the boys are safe and protected but it wasn't you he was mad with" he said to her, "It was me. He made my life a living hell while I looked for you." he said, "I had to kill so many of my brethren" he said. "And all this time the one place I didn't check was Durmstrang." he said to her.

Zara stood there quietly. "Stuck with him did you?" she asked almost bitterly as Matt spoke of killing brethren. "I had a feeling you wouldn't have searched there. Matt if you had searched hard enough you would have found us." Adolphe spoke up, "Mum has a point. If you searched for 15 years how could you miss Bulgaria and Durmstrang? An owl would have found us easily."

"I didn't go there for a simple reason. I didn't think you would go there." he said his heart sank as he heard Adolphe speak up in support of Zara, "I didn't send owls because I had forgotten about them." he said quietly, "I didn't stick with him, he kept trying to kill me." he said, "I had to kill all of the ones he sent at me." he said to her

"For fifteen years?" Adolphe asked rying to keep his temper. Zara was looking extremly uncomfortable now. "Why didn't you start afresh completely Matt? He's been laying low from what I'e heard, for a few years now."

Matt looked at Adolphe, "No, not for fifteen years" he said to his son, "I stopped looking for you a year ago." he said to his son, "I had given up on ever finding you." He said as he looked back to Zara, "I was going to try and get on with my life." he said to her, "I thought that he had managed to either convince you to go back to him, or that you had been killed." he said to her, "I know now that I was wrong." he said ~ "That's right you were wrong" Rhys said finally unable to contain himself any longer. "You gave up on us. You don't love us" he said to his father, "You never did, You never would of let mom leave if you did." he said to Matt. "After all, we are your flesh and blood" he said.

With Rhys' outburst along came Adolphe's. "Flesh and blood doesn't always matter Rhys." he said. "Fifteen years supposedly looking for us and Mum. I don't really belive a word of it. If you loved us so much you wouldn't have taken up assumptions of us not being in certain places."

Matt looked at them, "Don't believe me" he said slumping in defeat, "No one ever does anymore." he said, "Now all I am good for is designing weapons." he said to Zara, "If you don't believe me go home. Look at the library and tell me I didn't try" he said, the library at home had turned into a mess with atlas's and maps covering the walls and floors pins placed in them pointing at the places Matt had gone, but somehow he knew that it wouldn't matter. "I have only been back in England for two months" he said to her, "You can have the house, I won't need it where I am going." he said to her, he felt like dieing and didn't care anymore, he had spent 14 years looking for them and they didn't believe him.

Zara looked at him all defeated and broken. She moved forward slowl and pllaced a hand on his shoulder. "We need to talk properyl. The four of us. WHich is why I said now was probably not the best time."

Matt nodded at her, "Fine, When can we talk?" he asked her looking from her to the boys. They both looked rather upset with him and he didn't want to overstay his welcome with them much longer.
