The idea of friends and Alastor Moody was a rare thought, he wasn’t seen as a social creature and certainly wasn’t one to share much about his life. However, there were a few that he’d allowed in, the Aurors who’d been part of the Order were the lucky select group, though only one now remained fully intact Kingsley Shacklebolt. While his friend had returned from his mission with the giants not much of their time had been used for casual catching up as one would expect from a friend returning. No, their time spent together had been mostly spent debriefing, dealing with the fall out of the tragedy that befalls Frank and Alice both in the Auror department and within the ranks of the Order, and then the most recent murder of Dumbledore founder and leader of the Order. It’d been a lot and left little room for other focus, but even the most hard working would need a break away from the constant losses as his wife would remind him when he’d brought work home too many nights in a row.
In a shocking twist, Alastor had actually taken the advice, the meeting he’d invited Kingsley to his safe house was a much lighter one. It could be colored in protectiveness and darkness if you looked at the climate the question was coming in, but at its base, it was still a question regular mates would pose even not in a raging war—the topic of godfather a tradition, but all the more important to Alastor at the moment. Dolly’s godparents now face a fate worse than death in the halls of a makeshift hospital wing. A knock on the door brought him away from the thoughts that’d surely have spiraled though he rarely let anyone know about them. Alastor walked to the door, checking it was Kingsley before opening the door and welcoming him in. As much as he expected it to be Kingsley knowing few knew the location of his safe house it was always best to be sure.
“ Kingsley come in,” Alastor greeted swinging the door open for him to enter the home waiting for him to step in before peeking out the door and scanning the surroundings before closing it. “ Karina is at work, so it’s just us and Dolly for now, but she’s laid down for a nap.”
