The sun was just starting to peak through the window when Dmitry first opened his eyes. blearily he looked around rubbing his the sleep from his eyes with his left hand, his right wrapped around Lili who was still asleep her head on his chest. He smiled and gave a slight stretch. Looking around he spied Dristan sitting at the table changed, his hair slightly damp, drinking a coup of coffee. He didn't say anything yet, he wasn't sure he wanted to be awake yet. Yes last night was interesting to say the least but right now, right now everything was right in the world.

As the sun hit Lil's face she yawned and stretched a bit opening her eyes to see herself still curled into Dmitry. She smiled a bit, stretching again and running a hand through her hair. After a few moments, she slowly sat up letting her hair fall in its natural tousled appearance and looked up to see Dristan.
She hadn't dreamed anything that night...She felt rejuvenated, excited and ready to take on the world. After a short while, Lili pulled herself from the bed and grabbed her bag. "Im going to shower..." She said softly before taking her bag and headed towards the other room to shower. "Will you order coffee for me?" She asked looking between the two men before slipping into the other room and locking the door.

Dristan smiles as the both of them begin to stir from their slumber and remains quiet just watching them and it made him miss the hell out of Teagan and the way she would wake up laying on him the exact same way. "Coffee...sure thing..." He whispers and stood up now and watched Lili head to the shower and looked to Dmitry. "I will be right back." He was gone for a few minutes and came back upstairs now with two large cups of coffee for both Lili and Dmitry and placed them on the table with creamers and sugars and walked over to his bag and pulled out a very old looking scroll and walked back over to the table now and placed the scroll on the table.
He went back to drinking his coffee and was in deep thought how he as going to explain the scroll to the both of them more particular to Lili.

Dmitry sat up as Lili got up and walked in to the other room. He stood up and stretched once more before walking over to the tale and pulling out his med kit ones more. When Dristan came back in he was carring to large cups. "Oh thank god" Dmitry said he was still a big groggy. He slowly took off the glove from his right hand, and removed the bandage. The scar on the back of his was only slightly red around the edges and the lines where bright pink. It look as if someone took a razor blade and sliced the pentagram in to his skin. he took the wrap of his thumb and looked at, it to boar a scar only this one was looked as if he had had it for most of his life. "gotta love essence of dittany" he said to no one in particular.
Take a sip from his cup he looked at the old parchment. "whats this now" he asked, his tone inquisitive.

Lili came out of the room, dressed in jeans, and a dark blue and silver tank top. For once in a long while her hands were ungloved. She had a towel in her hand trying to ring out the last of the water from her hair. She felt refreshed at the shower but confused as she noted the open scroll sitting on the desk. Walking over she slid next to Dmitry, her hand on his hip area before sneaking around him to add cream and sugar to her coffee. She sipped it, eyes closed for a moment letting the flavor coat her mouth. She set the towel down on another side table and looked at Dristan.
"Whats this?"

Dristan set his cup down and leaned forward a bit and looked to the scroll and back to the both of them. "Lili do you remember when we briefly spoke about you that in time would become the Matriarch of our family?" Dristan asked straight forward and looked to the scroll and the tone of his voice was very somber and his body language was screaming of someone that was about to lose a loved one, someone very near and dear. He looked to the window for a moment and back to them wiping a tear away.
"My mother came to visit me recently....and the portrait......the portrait...." He got choked up and went silent. "In each estate we all as will you Lili have a grand portrait room. in siad room will hang a protrait of the progenitor of our family. We know as only Lord Adamson." He sighed. "When that portrait speaks it means the patriarch the current one of the family will pass very soon and....that the new Patriarch and Matriarch will be selected."

Lili nods to him, holding the coffee into her hand looking down at the scroll. She looks to Dmitry who walks back to the high backed chair and sat down with his coffee. Her eyes met his and she knew instantly that something was wrong. She stepped over to him and bumped it lightly rested her head on his shoulder.
"I knew you were going to be Patriarch. And you said there was a chance that it could be me....eventually....." She paused. "Are you trying to tell me that I AM chosen and thats what this is...."

Dristan remained silent for a moment as he felt her rest her head on his shoulder and for a moment he wanted to cry because he was going to lose his father soon but he kept them at bay. "Like I was saying mom came to visit and the portrait spoke and you and I are now officially the new patriarch and matriarch of the family. It has been passed down." He whispers and looks at the scroll. "My mother's blood signature is on that scroll transferring the title of Lady Adamson and all rights and honors to you. Which will be yours once you graduate. No need to to have you right now being pulled into family business dealings right now I can handle them. I may send things here and there to you for your signature but nothing more."
He took the scroll now and handed it to her. "This is yours by birth right now......Lady Adamson." Dristan nods and looks to the window for a moment and back to her. "I...I will need your help when the time comes to plan a funeral for my father." That was all he was going to say right now about his father's death he did not wish to speak about it anymore.

Liliana looked at him and bit her lip unsure of how to respond to it. She had never really lost a family member at least not that was close to her. She looked at the scroll and back to Dristan. "Send them? Honestly, you can't just call me to your office and have us do it there. And your not going to load this yourself for two years...." She looked at him and again to the scroll before her.
"What exactly do I have to do with this? I mean. Im Sixteen Dristan...And even after Graduation.. I'll be 18. What can I do..." She pauses and looks at the scroll now being handed to her. Suddenly the weight of the world was resting on her shoulders again. But she didn't want to say anything. This was her family right, Something she was going to be dealing the rest of her life. She nods to his last statement and continues to fall silent.

"For right now I will handle everything. You have more than enough on your plate Lili. You have the title but you are still a student. Your schooling is far more important than dealing with family affairs right now. If I need anything from you in regards to the family dealings then I will come to you about them, until then just be yourself and enjoy your teenage years." He smiled. "When you are eighteen then we will address your part as the matriarch. I just brought this too you because the portrait had spoken and the title of Lady Adamson had to be passed down properly." He nods.
Indeed all of this was now on his shoulders for the next two years alone. Being the patriarch, professor, club owner, soon to be father, soon to be husband all of it and he would carry it alone for that amount of time without complaint.

"I'm not letting you do this by yourself Dristan." Her arms cross over her chest rather authoritative and she looks at him. "You have too much on your plate as it is. New baby, new wife, work, the dueling clubs come fall.... And thats only the stuff I know about. My work load is not intense next term so I CAN help you....It's not like we wont be in the same castle for 9 months out of the year...." She sighs.
Lili was not about to let her cousin take on too much at once. Not while recovering and well....Not Ever but that was not the point. THe point was Lili was asked to step up as a memeber of the family and by god that is what she was going to do.

Dristan leaned up and raised an eyebrow at how authoritative Lili just got with him and she reminded him of his mother at that very moment and nods. "Alright.....together then." He agrees and turns in his chair to her now. "There is a lot to cover then." He spoke truthfully.
"Real estate, Financial, companies in other countries, and....." Dristan was about to find out how she would react to hearing this part. "Our family net worth right now Lilianna that you and I now control is 35 Billion Dollars American or 27154938650 in British pounds." Now he waited for this reaction.

Liliana took the chair and sat down next to Dristan and listened as he spoke. "Okay. So a lot of cover. Start off slow then" She said with a nod. When he began to speak she sat back, and probably for the better since when Dristan spoke about the worth of the family her mouth went instantly dry and she had seemed to lose any sort of ability to talk. Her eyes looked at him and were wide. "Wait. We're worth what...." She raised a brow as if waiting for him to tell her he was joking. She shook her head.
"Oh Okay wow. Uhm. Not really sure how to respond that one one actually. But We'll roll with it. Exactly what are we supposed to do with that amount? Save it? Invest it? Have we Invested it? In what!?"

"We have it in real estate, domestic and foreign investments, savings and so on. All of this is on the scroll itself. Basically every month you and I have to set aside one day and sit down and go over all of this and sign a lot of documents that require our signatures and such. It is a very tedious process to say the least." Dristan sighs and looks to Lili. "As far as real estate goes, We have the estate in Loughton, the estate in Cambridge, the estate in Dover, Yoour biological father's home in London, and vacation homes in different countries plus....." He paused for a moment seeing the club on the scroll and had no idea how to explain that one to her just yet.
"Then we have our investments in different companies around the world as well and in the magical world tied to the Ministry as well."

Lili nods again. "Okay. So basically we sit down and talk over exactly where the money is going and sign a bunch of stuff and that's it. I mean. generally speaking." She looks to Dmitry and then back to Dristan. She looked over the scroll and to Dristan.
"Are we the ones contacting the the companies we are working with or do we have to just...let other people do it for us?"

"For the one day a month yes it is all paperwork the entire day and trust me you are not going to like it as I loathe it myself but it has to get done sadly." Dristan spoke in truth. "Now in regards to the companies we have representatives that handle that part but we have to be in contact with the representatives and speak to them about what we want the money to go or invested in or pulled out and such." He looked over over the scroll again thoroughly.
"Oh I almost forgot about this. We own our own small island near Spain as well. Private airport and villa as well."

"Okay. That sounds like a plan" She says with a nod. "I'm sure i will come to loath it as much as you eventually" She smirks. "How often are we checking in with the representatives about things?" She said softly while leaning into her chair.
"Spain!? We have an island in SPAIN. Seriously"

"We check with the representatives every two weeks so that we can catch if we need to pull money out of bad investments and such or to put more in if you will." Dristan shrugs and rubs his chin a bit and smiles hearing her reaction about the island near Spain. "Indeed we do and since you are the matriarch you and I both have villas and such but basically it is a huge compound if you will." He smiled and winked. "It is very beautiful. I will have to take you there sometime." Dristan took another drink of his coffee.
"Now that is just the muggle side now we speak about our world. We have galleons and please do not ask me how much because I have not been able to get over to Gringotts to count it all yet just know it is a lot. Then we have.....three vaults which you now have every right to along with me and we need to go one day and go through exactly what is in them." He sighed.

"We will definitely have to take a trip there. It sounds Amazing!" She leans back and sips more of her coffee. It was odd drinking it, but she loved it. When not in school, a lot of her time was spent either outside with a cup of coffee or inside the coffee shop with never ending coffee and a good book.
As he explained the rest of it she nods. "Okay. So, every two weeks. and you're saying there is two sides. Thats just muggle side. and theres even MORE on the wizarding side of it all...." She shakes her head. How often are we going through the vaults!? I've heard that its super easy to get lost in the underbelly of Gringotts."

"A trip to the island? Now that is definitely a plan to do." Dristan smiled. "yes every two weeks for the muggle side and....." Dristan paused for a moment about the wizarding side. "I am thinking this summer it will probably be just easier for you and I to take a couple of hours and head over to Gringotts and go into the vaults and see what we are working with." He chuckled and rubbed his face a bit. "Like I said I have no clue what is inside of them." He spoke truthfully.
"Yes you can get lost under Gringotts but we will be alright I have been down there plenty of times so just stay close to me the entire time and you will be alright. We will have to be careful though when in the vaults of our family because I have no clue what is in them."

"That would be a fun trip for all of us to take." She nods sipping her coffee some more. "Okay. So two weeks for the muggle side of it, and a field trip to gringotts this summer to go through the vaults. I think thats reasonable..."
She looks over to Dmitry and tosses something at him playfully since he had been so quiet over the last few moments.

Dmitry almost dropped his cup when he heard just how much the Adamson family name was worth and that was only in muggle terms. When he heard about the island he sank back in his chair mouth agape.
"Wow, that does explaine a few things about the certification paper work." He was otherwise at a lose for words are struck may the power and title Lili was to inharet.

Dristan looked to Dmitry and smiled. "Just because we have a lot of money and can get things done does not mean we can not be humble." He spoke with such truth. "And.....since you are with my cousin that makes you family as well Dmitry. So that means you get all the niceties of being an Adamson as well." He nods. "Though let me get this out of the way real quick. You break her heart what I did at the school will look like child's play compared to what I will do to you in the end." He had a very serious look on his face threatening even and then his smile returned.
"Okay....so with that all being said. Now the question Lili is what will be your first official act as Matriarch? An investment, a charity, or something else I wonder."

Lili looked to Dmitry and smiled a bit finishing off her cup of coffee and setting the cup down on the table. She listens to her cousins words and lets him have his moment with Dmitry. She knew the conversation was happening. But it was funny it happened then, at that very moment. When he turned his attention back to her he she shrugs.
"I really have no idea Dristan."

Dmitry could hear it coming. He had heard the horror stories from other boys here and there. The protective family member threating the would be Suitor that came to call. However it was all perfectly understandable, he knew why the warning went out to tread carefully. He knew the type of boys that gave reason for it.
"Understood Mr. Adamson" his face straight, his voice ringing with all the respect he could muster.
Having been given his warning he turned his attention back to Lili as Dristan did. What would her first act be. He could never fathom that kind of money or power let alone what to do with it. He listen intently. Would this decision give a glimpse to how she thought? Given her background and all she had gone through, had she found a cause. Something that she felt strongly about that now having the chance to contribute, she would go after?

Dristan thought deeply to find something that Lili could do for her first act as Matriarch. A smile appeared on his face as he looked more to Lili. "A charity then. How would you feel about a charity for orphans and hospitals then?" Dristan asked curiously to Lili. He paused for a moment and looked to Dmitry and nodded to him in deep respect at his answer to taking care of Lili and smiled. His attention went back to Lili once more.
"How would you feel about such a good cause?"

Lili looks to Dmitry and smiles. They were all in understanding at that point in time. She looked back to her cousin and thinks a moment.
"I like the sounds of that." She said with a nod. "I mean, with out that system in place, and hospital being a safe drop site, Who knows where I would have ended up..." The thought was tough to handle, but it made the decision that much easier to express.
