A tall brown headed man walked down to the main floor of the pub that he own. He had his two German Shepards at his side. He went over to the bar and just watched over the people before going back to the catwalk over the floor.
He saw a couple of blonde head girls that looked failmair to him. He then saw the man with them and smiled. It was his father and sisters. He wondered if they knew that they were in his pub.
He ran a hand over his short hair and sighed. He wondered if he needed to make his presence known or not. He decided that he would let them see him. He walked back down on the floor and went around to the people with a smile. He got to their table and bent over. How is everything folks? He asked them. Starlight and Roscoe sat at his feet like they were trained to do. He reached down and stroked both of the dogs heads.
He had grown up a lot since his father had kicked him out of the house. He had to make his own way in the world and support himself. He had another manor other than this pub that he could go to and ride his bulls or his broncos that he had broght back to live out their retirment from the rodeo.
He wondered if his father thought of him anymore. He had visited his mother so that was good. She was the one that helped him make the decision to come back into the magic world.

Victoria was out for the day with her father and baby sister, taking a " Dad and Daughter day" Ever since school had started, Victoria hadn't seen much of her father. He had either paper work or was arranging song performances. Sometimes Jagger was just aloof with the girl. So when he came up to her out of the blue and told her that he had a free weekend and wanted to take the girls out, Victoria didn't think twice about excepting the offer. She couldn't hold it against the stubborn old goat. She was a daddy's girl at heart. There wasn't a lot Victoria could hold against Jagger. He had spoiled her and her sisters rotten when they were young( in Kylie's case, he still pampered her ). Maybe thats why Mackenzie was so hard to wrangle in at times. Victoria shrugged it off and took a sip of her butterbeer. She had Kylie on her knee and one arm wrapped around the child. Kylie kept reaching for her older sisters. She was determined to get it. More of the LeMaster brand stubbornest showed in that little girl then in the other three-or in the other two if you asked Jagger. He never counted Emmett in anything anymore. That was another thing that bugged Victoria. The above all fact that her father shut off his emotions when it came to his oldest son. " How is everything folks? " She heard someone ask. She thought it was the waiter so she was going to ask for a water to give to Kylie. When she turned, Victoria's eyes landed on a man. " Emmett? " She managed to say through the disbelief. Last she had heard, he was in America. OUTFIT

Jagger was out with his daughters. He felt so bad for putting this afternoon off for a while but work was work and he had to do what he had to do. He thought Victoria would have been mad at him for ignoring her and the other girls but when she agreed with a large grin on her lips, his mind was at ease. Something in the of his head, a small part of him was bothering him. His son and his actions were bothering him. It had been biting at him about his son. He shook it away though and didn't give it two more thoughts. They had picked their paths and Jagger refused to look back on it.
He watched as Kylie made a grab for Victoria's butterbeer. She was another stubborn one. Jagger had high hopes that they wouldn't end up hating each other or fighting. Nah, he spoiled her to much. Besides, Victoria raising her as her own, Kylie would end up being a good little lady. Wow, had he really thrown himself into his work that he had put that on his oldest daughter? He kept watch on the two girls as they chatted. Kylie's words were barely formed.
He heard someone speaking to them. Victoria had noticed him first. She started to place an order but her voice trailed off. He glanced over and spotted his oldest child. He had nothing to say to him, he pulled Victoria's mug away from Kylie to see how the next few minutes would unfold.

Em watched his sisters and fathers reaction to him being there. He looked down at his baby sister, he guessed. He went to the bar and got a small cup of water before going back over and placing it in front of them. He nodded his head at his sister.
"It is me." He said to her as he looked down at her with a smile. "I own the Three Broomsticks now." he said to her in a whisper. He really did not want too many people knowing that but he like his family knowing he was back in Hogsmeade. He knew his father probably would not take him back but atleast he could see his sisters on the weekends when the school let them come to the town to shop or whatever. He knew that he probably looked paler to them but he would not give into his weakness.
After a few moments, Starlight started to nudge him to the chair behind him where he had to sit down and undo his collar of his shirt. He started to sweat before he stood up and started back to the private quarters of his building.
((Maybe Victoria could follow him?))

Victoria was glad to see her brother again. It had been forever since she had seen him or heard his voice. She missed him. He was the only one she could really talk to in the world. Outside Ellie and Elena anyway. Now that he was closer to her, Victoria had more reason to sneak down to Hogsmead. Slytherins were top dogs now so no one who question her. Would they? Kylie grabbed the cup of the table and took a sip. She peered down and saw the two dogs following around at his feet. She went to pet them but pulled back.
" So how long ha- Emmett? " Her question was cut short by him getting up and running off. Victoria pasted Kylie to Jagger. The look in Emmett's eyes and the paleness of his skin made her worry. " I'll be back Daddy. " She said getting up from the table. She was gone before her father could stop her. Victoria ducked and wove her way in and out of the crowd. She kept Emmett's head in her sights as she moved around people. She finally caught his wrist " Whats wrong Emmett? She asked closing her grip on his wrist.

Em felt someone grab his wrist before he heard her question. He looked back to see his blonde head sister. He pulled her into his small quiet quarters above the Three Broomsticks pub floor. It had two small rooms. One was an office that he kept the files and things for the pup. The other was a small bedroom.
He turned and closed the door before looking at his dogs before looking at her. "Can you keep a secret from Father?" he asked her as he walked over to the small couch and sat down. "I went to the hospital the other day because of paleness and being sweaty all the time." he said as he looked at his sister. "I have cancer, Tori." he said as he used his pet name for her. It was a name he came up with when she was first born.

Victoria took a glance around the small quarters and sighed. This was were her brother had been living now. His dog started to nudge at her legs for attention from the stranger. She knelt down and petted her head. When he spoke again, she looked up at him. His words hit her like a hammer to the gut. She didn't even know how to react to his news. She looked at him for a while She stood up from the ground and walked over to him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him to her.
" I'm so sorry Emmy. " She said. That was her pet name for him. She hadn't used it in a while. " I don't think I can keep something like that quiet, Emmett. " She confessed. She would have to tell her father, even if he didn't care. Victoria knew he wouldn't care but she had to try.

Em looked up at her and just nodded his head. He knew that his condition would not stay quiet for long. He sighed as he looked down at Starlight as she came over and nudged his hand. He looked back up at her and sighed.
"You can tell him but I don't think he would care about what happened to me. " he said to her with a sigh. "He don't care about me anymore, Tori." he said to her as he ran a hand over his short brown head. He had missed so much with his family but he could not make it up.

Jag had been sitting, waiting for his oldest daughter to come back but when she did not, he stood up with Kylie in his arms and went to find her. He finally found the door to the private quarters and opened it right as Em told Victoria. He was honestly shocked. His son had cancer?
He let himself be known by both of them. "When were you going to tell me?" he asked Emmett as he pasted Kylie back to Victoria since the little girl was was reaching for her. He walked over to his son and got into his face. "Is that the reason you came back?" he snapped and Starlight growled at his father.

Victoria didn't like were this was going. Her father got mad quickly but this was the first time she seen it go from zero to sixty in three seconds. She put Kylie down. " This isn't going to be good. " She said to the toddler. Kylie tilted her head. She knew knew something was going on but didn't know exactly what it was. Her attention was soon drawn but the growling dog, making the child uneasy. She whimpered and scooted away from it. Victoria took a step towards them. " Guys, please, not infront of Kylie. " She said. They hadn't heard her.
Victoria wedged herself between her father and Emmett. " Daddy, please don't do this. We just found Emmett and he doesn't need this right now. " She pleaded. Why did she smell a fight coming on?

Em looked at his father's blue eyes and shook his head. "No, I came back to be where I belong." he said as he reached for Starlight. "It is okay girl." he said as he pulled her back from his father. Roscoe went over to Kylie and nudged her. He laid down to show he was not a threat to her.
"I own this pub now." he said as she weakly stood up to face his father. He was not in the mood to take too much from his father today, not when he had the other stuff going on. He looked at his sister and sighed. "I did not come here to fight." he said to her.

Victoria wheeled around to her brother and watched him. He didn't need to be standing. She could see his knees wobbling as he walked around the room. Not if he wasn't feeling well to start out with. She kept her ocean blue eyes on her father. She knew he would jump at any chance to strike her brother but would he really do it in Emmett's condition? Just questions she had to asked herself. Jagger wouldn't.... At least she hoped not. Taking another glance at Kylie, her body stiffened. That little girl didn't need to see this drama.
" Emmett, sit for a second. " She said to him. Victoria went over and picked up Kylie before she turned back to the two men. Kylie held on to her sisters shirt. Victoria couldn't help the similarities between. Her and Kylie and her father and Emmett. " This fighting has gone on long enough. " She said. It was time to bury it.

Jag watched his son wobble on his own two feet. He sighed and walked out to the window. He figured that way that his son would sit down on the couch. "Why did you not tell us when you first found out that you had cancer?" he asked his son.
He was not angry. He just wanted to know the facts. He also knew that Juno would have be told because Emmett was always a mom's boy. The girls were Daddy's girls that is why they stayed with him when Juno left the house and went to her music school.

Em sat down on the chair in the kitchen. He looked at his father. "I just found out yesterday." he said to him as he closed his eyes and sighed. "I don't know what to do." he said as he looked at his father. "I already rode the bull." he said to his father.
He sighed as he picked up the paper that was delivered to him yesterday morning from the hospital. He gave it to victoria to hand to his father. He did not trust his legs at this point since he was really weak. Starlight and Roscoe went over to their master and nudged his hands with their muzzles.

Victoria passed the letter along to her father so he could read it for himself. Emmett had very colorful expressions. She found the bull crack kind of funny since thats what he use to do for a living. She kept herself quiet as she seated herself in the chair beside the door. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. Victoria kept an eye on the two in case something went horribly wrong. With her fathers attitude and her brothers strong head, things would go south. She still had nightmares about that night a couple years back.
" So, your staying where? " She asked. His letters to her had been very bleak about his home situation. She didn't want to see her family out on the streets.
