Simon was slightly shaken and uneasy from Jacob's violent outburst a few hours earlier. He wasn't mad at Jacob. Simon saw this as a cry for help that his son should have gotten years ago. Once Addom and the Death Eaters were in custody he would speak to Sereina about taking Addom Lestrange, Nero Capulet, Rabastan Lestrange, and David Brighton to Île Vanier tomorrow. Jacob's condition was of utmost concern and addressing it could not be delayed any further.

Simon was growing increasingly concerned about Jacob's obsession with getting a job in mere weeks. Self-help books and Self-therapy were not going to cut it. Jacob needed professional help in order to address the past three years and emotional and psychological trauma effectively, and he would be damned if his son didn't get it.

Simon was going to be speaking to Jacob today about his future. The way he saw it, Jacob's primary focus needed to be entirely on his mental health. Jacob did not need to be burdened with the stress of finding a job or worrying about money. Simon knew Jacob had some money from the sale of the Keys house, and he and Mae would continue to help him financially.

They didn't expect Jacob to pay them back because if you can help your family, that's what you did. Simon knew that prior to these events, had someone in the family needed something, Jacob would have been among the first to extend help, without expecting anything in return. Even now, despite all that Jacob had gone through, Simon firmly believed that he would still be among the first to step forward and provide aid in any way possible.

They would also need to discuss his living arrangements. Mae had a valid point - given Jacob's current state of mind, it was unwise for him to move down to the San Diego House. While a weekend or week visit would be acceptable, relocating there would likely not be in his best interest. Simon knew Jacob had some friends in California, but the majority of his support system was in Canada. Simon felt it would be best for Jacob to remain in Canada, where he could be surrounded by his loved ones and receive the care he needed to rebuild his life.

Simon sat in the meeting room that had already been set up by the Irish wizards. He was ready for the meeting with Sereina and those that had be selected for the Auror team. In three days, the takedown would happen, and Addom would be placed where he belonged and get what he deserved. He would lose everything.

Simon imagined Addom's family would not be happy with him even more those of his family that were Death Eaters and would be arrested alongside him. Simon was aware that Addom's stepmother had only a few months ago had a baby and had several young children. Simon did feel for the children that were about to lose a parent or two in a few cases.

Simon would speak to Jacob about his intentions toward Wendy.

Simon would be headed overseas on Friday, August 11, eight days before the takedown on the 19.

Simon started to work on the list of which Aurors would be responsible for arresting specific Death Eaters.

Rodric Stackpoole: Arys Bower - Marceline Thorhauge
Tobias Bouchard: Michael Brighton - Coraline Yaxley
Nathan Smith: Desmond Grim - Apophis Thorhauge
Brayden Theriault: Nero Capulet - Melissa Selwyn
Kara Tennelstone: Devon Edwards - Nova Lestrange
Morgan Smith: Sarina Magwood - Rabastan Lestrange
Camden Hawthorne: Lychee Lestrange - Draco Malfoy
Miles Stackpoole: Rochelle Dolohov - Socharis Thorhauge
Damian Theriault: Levi Zöller - Nassor Thorhauge
Simon Bouchard: Evander Lestrange - Rodolphus Lestrange

Simon could not wait to get his hands on that piece of s**t David Brighton. He liked Wendy, but unlike his son, he was not swayed by her familial ties to David. He wouldn't go as far as ending his life, but David would be lucky to walk out on his own two feet once he was finished with him. He wasn't simply an Auror Comissoner; he was a father. He also hoped to get one in on Addom Lestrange. How dare these lowlife pieces of scum try and take his boy's life. Neither could nor would ever stand up to the man and wizard his son Jacob was.
