James was sitting in his desk, he had his ipod playing A Tribe Called Quest and it was filling the dwelling with hip hop music, in which the portraits hated and fled in protest. James had deliberately done that to get the portraits to leave because his next meeting was very personal and did not need anyone who wasn't needed there throwing their own opinion.

Alyson used the floo network to arrive and sneezed once as she was moving to step out of the fireplace. She dusted off the ashes from herself as not to get any ashes anywhere in the office as she stepped in."I haven't been in here since 7th year."She commented."Good to see you James,"Alyson told him.
About the time Alyson had arrived, Ines was on her way to the office but she hadn't quite made it there yet. She'd be there in a couple minutes.

James went to greet Alyson with a hug after she dusted herself.
"Thanks for coming, Barrister."James said to Alyson. The Headmaster then handed her a hankerchief after she sneezed on him.
"Its alright, I should've had the fireplace cleaned before you arrived."
With a wave of his wand he turned off the music, he took out his pocket watch.
"What are the chances that Ines is at my entrance right now?"

"100%."Alyson said. She then nodded at James."Thanks but no thanks."She said handing it back.
Ines knocked on the door and then walked in."So,what did you guys want to talk about?"She asked them after closing the door.

"Come in,"James said motioning his daughter who looked like she was nervous about seeing her parents and not fighting.
"Have a seat, you're not in any trouble seeing as we haven't offically started the term yet. We, your mother and I wanted to get your views on the recent articles by Rita Skeeter."

"Da*n. I was hoping I was in trouble."Ines said and Alyson chuckled a bit at Ines' reply but then went back to being serious."Well,I've been wondering why I've been out of the loop this whole time. I mean,with the Dad thing,I hate being lied to about it and I feel out of the loop and that I've been living an entire lie but other than that,everything's okay."She said sitting on the chair with her arms around her knees and her feet in the seat as well.

James nodded understanding Ines' confusion, the press plus not to mention the talk and whispers of other students.
"I can see how that could very influrating and nerve wrecking."James said. "But I don't think you should take what Rota Skeeter says in consideration, regardless of what the paper said You are my daughter, I want you to understand that."

"You swear that I'm your kid?"Ines asked James."I'm confused because people keep talking."She said to him.
Alyson knelt down to Ines' eye level."Ines,you're going to have to listen to us,not the media."She told her."Look,you may start hearing more about Riley but don't doubt for a minute that James is not your father. I was talking to Riley and because I know it's something that your father wants,Riley's going to be your father according to media but James is your biological father beyond a doubt in my mind."She said."I've only been with him."

"You swear that I'm your kid?"Ines asked James."I'm confused "Really?"James said shocked at Alyson's last statement. His eyes widen and he tinted his head.
"Yes, I remember that... You know we shouldn't tell you that seeing as you are the result of teenaged shagging. Didn't you meet Riley after you got pregnant right?"

Alyson nodded as she was looking at James."Trust me,we talked. And yes,I know but the prophet doesn't know anything."She told James as she then looked at Ines."And,if they print anything of me thinking of you as a mistake,they're lying. Yeah,the first two days,I thought it was but after a while,I didn't. You're my greatest accomplishment."She told her.
Ines looked at the two and nodded."I'm glad that I'm your daughter."

"Same goes for me."James said looking at Ines. "You're the best of your mum and me, I don't want you to ever question that. Adn there is nothing that we wouldn't do to protect you, understand?"

Ines nodded."I understand Dad."She said to him.
Alyson began to look around as she walked over to his desk and slammed a jar down on it as she slid a peice of paper over it."Don't mind me. Please,continue."She said casting Obliviate on the beetle and then put it in an envelope and whistled for an owl. She sent the owl off."No problem."

James who was used to seeing some strange things was dumbfounded at Alyson's actions. He pointed at the jar and said.
"Please explain this."

"Let's just say that over the past weekend,I learned something about my favorite reporter."Alyson told James."Be glad that I just saved our butts from the Prophet."She said to him as she laid the jar upright."No worries."
"Oooo."Ines said nodding."Good thing."

"Nice."James said looking at the beetle who had the imprint of Skeeter's glasses and smirked. "How do we know she isn't going to report what she said?"
