The easiest way to introduced the Armitage lot? We all like to think we're terribly important and act like the snobby, Pureblood-worshipping, Deatheating-participating individuals we're expected to be... in a nutshell, that's my family.
Meet Alec and Cordelia Armitage who are my parents to all extents and purposes. They are decidedly imprisoned in Azkaban and too proud to even admit defeat behind thick bars and amidst Dementor patrols. Honestly? They're unlikely to ever get released from that place and they seem like they couldn't give a shit about that little fact. Like I said, I have a fun family, eh?
First came Richard, then came Shannon. Richard, unfortunately, was a Deatheater who was stupid enough to get himself killed by the Ministry- he was a good brother despite that, if a little self-important and... fuck it, I'll say it, too far up his own arse to care about anyone else. Apart from that though, he was alright. Shannon... ah dearest Shannon! Your antics as a teenager still stay with me to this day and I admit, watching you try to sabotage Celia's food was fun before mum went mental about it all.
Here's Celia and Alistair. Don't be fooled by Celia, she can be quite the frigid ice princess when she wants to be. We never got along growing up, she spent too much time being girly, god forbid, while I revelled in Shannon trying to trick her into eating food chocked full with fat until Celia wrestled me to the floor and caused some serious injury with her fingernails. We've both grown up a bit since then but I have a sneaking suspicion I've never been high up on her 'favourite people' list. Alistair meanwhile is... well it's Al! He hates people shortening his name to that; I call him it as often as possible. Alistair's probably the one I got along with best, he always seemed to understand and even pretended to listen when we were teenagers and I became all "Oh woe is me" about girls... stuff like "do you think Kelly or Megan has biggest tits?", you know really thought out crap like that. Al's a genuinely good bloke, will drop anything to help anyone at anytime, but he tends to stray a little whenever he meets a pretty blonde with big, doe eyes. What, it's true!
Then there's me, Harry Alec Jasper Armitage (yes thanks a bunch for that name, mother). I really hate talking about myself sooo... fun little fact time! I hate that photo on the left, Becca seems oddly fond of it so that's prevented me from burning it... I look ridiculous and far too greasy and smarmy. The photo on the right is a more accurate representation of what I look like lately.
That, people, is a very important person in my life- Rebecca Barnes. We were quite the scandal in our youth (An Auror and a Deatheater conceiving children?! The very impudence of it!) and I was a
We'll start with the oldest first shall we? That's Rachael Barnes, I made her, woo! She's grown up to be a pretty amazing individual- clever, snarky (I love that about her) and absolutely able to take care of herself when it comes to blokes (means I don't have to worry about it). She has, unfortunately, developed some of my more rebellious tendencies which I have to say, right here and now, I DO NOT approve of.
A couple of minutes after Rachael followed her twin brother, Daniel Barnes... I too made him. I'd like to say I've had an influence on him too but let's face it, he hates me and I completely... this is going to sound crazy... respect him for standing his ground. He thinks I'm screwing Becca over again (or I'm about to) so I completely admire his committment to hating me... never before have I seen someone so committed to disliking their father- except perhaps me. Hmmm. He's a great son, I wish I could say I was a good dad, but honestly he'll go far.
And that unbeliveably cute little thing is Katie Barnes... I still can't believe how sweet she actually is. She completely forgave me and I am definitely working on turning her into a daddy's girl (I will succeed eventually Becca, ha!) before she gets too much of a moody teenage girl. Sweet, innocent and adorable are the three most apt words to describe my little Katie, enough said.
Oh hey, look, it's our Yet-To-Be-Born Son! Alright, it's technically merely a photo of Becca's stomach and a photo prinout of the ultrasound scan buuuuuut until he comes out who knows whose amazingly good gene pool he's going to borrow from most, mine or Becca's, you know? *wink* I can safely state right here and now that I'm 100% certain that this kid is going to be a bloody amazing individual, I can just sense it.
POSSIBLY MORE FAMILY PICS ON THE WAY
Please control your excitement until then... and note the sarcasm in that last comment.
