Roxy made her way back into the Burrow and breezed through the kitchen into the living room. She was hoping to see her parents dusting residue off of their clothes coming form the fire place but instead she saw Regina, clad with a small kitten in her arm and Molly's cat at her feet. Roxy just stood there staring. Regina was certainly the last person she'd though she'd see in this living room this summer.

((Is this going on during her b-day, or a few days after? I'd rather go for after.))

Seeing Roxanne's expression go from pure excitement to shock made the realization clear: this was going to be a very uncomfortable afternoon. She didn't expect much from Rox, especially since they hadn't spoken to each other since the waterfall incident, but Regina did have a speech planned. She had been practicing what she wanted to say to Roxy in her head for a full month, but now that she was here in the Burrow, she was going to wing most of it for her mind was going blank.

Regina looked down awkwardly as the cat made another loud meow, pounced away from her arm, and landed on all fours on the floor. It was a black kitten, a splitting image of Moon, the kitten Regina had killed in her fourth year. It had shown up at the Three Broomsticks on Roxy's birthday and had followed Regina around since - it haunted her, it was definitety some sort of omen, Regina had told Alanna before leaving. Finally, Regina decided it could work as a peace-offering. Give it to Rox. Talk. Then hightail it out with Dom.

"I've been calling it 'New Moon', you can call it whatever you want though - it's your birthday present. Well," she added remembering some of her speech, "it's more than just that, really. Can we talk?" She looked at the kitchen door and didn't hear any more approaching steps (she was relieved that Lai hadn't been an entrance yet - she didn't want to fight).

She stood and waited for a reaction, expressionless.

(( I suppose that can be the case, though I did have her just come from the garden. Her bday is technically over though since it is now August lolz, so we'll just say her bday is over but they're still going to play quidditch anyway? lolz and I like 'New Moon' *snickers* Twilight reference haha ))

Roxy really was at a loss for words. She kept looking back and forth between the small kitten Regina held in her arms to Regina herself. Roxy then watched as the kitten meowed and lept from Regina's arms and landed safely on it's feet only seconds later. "What is she playing at?", Roxanne asked herself looking at the kitten. It looked exactly like the small black kitten her parents had gotten her. Before Regina killed it.

Roxanne looked back up to Regina as she began to speak. She sort of stared at Regina blankly for a few moments then back to the kitten. Roxy had been in a particular good mood and she didn't feel like ruining it herself by arguing with Regina. So because of that she nodded. "Yeah, sure", she said as she walked over and sat down on the couch.

((Had to throw New Moon in somewhere :P And I thought the b-day RP went dead O.o...let's just RP so it could technically be her b-day or a few days after, we really dont know lol))

Regina followed suit and sat on the opposite couch. Indigo jumped on an open couch and New Moon tried to follow but couldn't jump so high so it stayed grounded. Regina muffled a small laugh and looked back at Rox.

"I want to clear everything up on my end. I don't know if we'll ever be friends again, but I want to walk out of here knowing that everything that I needed to say has been said, and then you can do whatever you want with it."

She paused to look up at Rox, "Alright?"

Roxanne leaned back on the couch and crossed her arms across her chest as Regina sat down opposite her. She looked at the two cats that were also present in the living room for a split second then looked back to Regina as she began talking. She listened to her words but she didn't know if it'd be that easy. They tried to clear things up once before and that attempt had little to no effect. Roxy figured, however, that she'd at least listen to what Regina had to say this time around so she nodded again. "Ok, I'm listening", she said looking at her.

Where to start? "Er, ok from the beginning then. I'm sorry. I am really, really sorry I killed Moon. I can't lie to you and tell you it was an accident. That was my original story, and it's not as bad as the truth so I told that to you instead. I really did two spells. One was from the Book, and I didn't know what it did, so I used Moon. ... It was the last one I did that killed Moon, to put it out of it's misery. There was no countercurse, I didn't know how else to stop it. I don't know, Rox, my thought process was twisted..and I think it still is but I'm dealing with it. But I'm sorry. It was horrible of me to do. I still can't erase that night from my mind and I will always regret it. I know you won't forgive me for that, and it's ok, but maybe this cat will alleviate some of the pain."

"Any questions, or next subject?"

(( If I disappear blame the internet >.< ))

Roxanne sat there in her same position as Regina began her speech. It wasn't really anything Roxy hadn't heard before but Roxy had to admit to herself she was tired of all the constant arguing. But still it was nothing she hadn't heard before. "Next subject", she said simply. She wanted to get this done and over with. She knew she'd need a while to think about whatever was said.

Regina paused as she tried to read thoughts through Roxanne's expression but couldn't. Probably more emotions that Rox was letting on, but she was certainly letting Regina get straight to the point.

"Ok, so next big thing: Dominique and I dating. I know you think we went behind your back, but really, we didn't talk at all last summer, and it was still uneasy between us when we first got to school. But I never considered dating him when we were friends, Rox. He's like, related to you...once I separated from your whole family I realized my relationship with him wasn't just being friends with Rox's cousin. He became unrelated to you, in a way. He asked me out the night you guys got hurt at the courtyard, and he kept our relationship a secret because I told him I was going to try and make up with you, and we did, for almost a week," she smiled lightly.

"Dom and I didn't think you would take it the way you did. Personally, I thought you'd be happy for me, but that seems to be the main thing you're upset with me about. Rox, I can't apologize for this," she said as she raised her hands up in emphasis. "This is something you need to get over. And you're really stubborn, so I don't see that happening, but I want you to know this has nothing to do with you. We didn't do it to fuck with you, or I would have dumped him by now. No, this is actually really, really serious."

She sunk back into her chair and waited for a response.

Roxy continued to sit back on the couch and listen to what Regina had to say. Again, there were things she'd heard over and over before. She almost opened her mouth to protest when she heard Regina say 'He's related to you' but she thought before she acted and stayed quiet. Regina was right, she was very stubborn. her and Dom knew this more so than others so of course Roxy wasn't going to let it all go so easily. She was silently fighting with herself inside of her head while listening to Regina all the same.

"You're right, I am stubborn, one of my least attractive qualities, but I can't help the way I am Regina. Look I appreciate you coming here to talk, I do really, I'm tired of the fighting but this....all of this....it's just going to take some time. I don't know...", she said trailing off and looking off to the side thinking to herself for a few moments. She then looked down to New Moon and a smile threatened at the corner of her mouth. "Thank you for the kitten though", she said as she looked back towards Regina. She pondered her next words then sighed.

"I'll work on letting it all go ok, it's just....going to take time", she said leaning forward and putting her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands. It was all she could settle on. he stubbornness still had the best of her.

"No, take your time." Regina was pleasantly surprised with Roxy's reaction. "Look, I enjoyed being your friend, Rox. But there's been a lot of shit between us, from your end and mine. I know you're tired of it, and I'm tired of it. I need to stop thinking about all of this and move on. I don't know if things will ever be the same between us. I can't even look at Lai without wanting revenge, and I can't look at you without hearing 'fuck you', so I just need to walk out of here with a clearer mind. I'll be content with whatever happens, it's up to you." She smiled lightly and stood up. "I'm glad you like your kitten. There's something unique about it though, I can't put my finger on it, but it's been driving me insane. Following me around Hogsmeade like it knew I would end up giving it to you. " She watched it press up against her legs and then walk over to Roxy and pounce at her shoelaces. "It's cute, though, I'll admit it." And I promise I won't kill this one..

"Well, is Dominique upstairs?" She hoped she didn't take offense to the question. Really, Regina had no idea if Rox even knew about her trip to France with Dom. Had Dom and Rox even spoken to each other this summer? Dominique was pretty lackadaisical when it came to updating her through owls.

Roxy put her face in her hands and nodded as Regina started speaking again. It was all true and quite understandable. She then looked back up as Regina mentioned the cat and she looked over to it. It was cute but she didn't really know what Regina meant by it having something unique about it. She shrugged it off as the kitten soon pounced her shoelaces and made the smile that had been threatening to break across her face break free.

Her attention was taken away from the kitten when Regina asked if Dom was upstairs. "Yeah, I mean I suppose...", she shrugged. She hadn't seen or talked to him all summer, which was pretty amazing since this was the Burrow. "I haven't really seen or talked to him but I know he's here, most likely in the attic. When you see him tell him I said hi will ya", she said with a somewhat awkward smile.

So even after a month, Dom and Rox hadn't gotten back to normal even without her being in the way. Hmm, Regina had thought their relationship would have improved. Oh well. By the way her talk with Roxanne just went, Regina figured it may actually get better between everyone eventually. Eventually.

Regina grinned, "Ok."

Regina made her way over to the stairs, but had to peek into the kitchen first. "Your kitchen smells like the holidays," she noted to Rox with a small chuckle. "Oh damn - you said the attic?" Regina looked up at the first flight of stairs with a mock horror struck expression on her face. She sighed heavily and began walking up, "See ya later."
