McGonagall hummed, swallowing and clearing her throat.

“It’s quite alright Alphard.” The woman smiled, returning the small bowing gesture. “I’m more than accustomed to such things with my line of work, I assure you.”

The man smirked slightly, shaking his head. A small Regulus Black peaked out from behind his uncle, looking warily at the two strangers, then back up to the man, almost looking for reassurance. As if sensing the child’s concern, the wizard placed his other free hand on the nervous child’s shoulder, letting the boy know he was safe.

“Ever the patent witch, Minerva.” Alphard looked down at his charges with a small smile before looking back to the woman. “These are my nephews, Sirius and Regulus Black. Allow me to apologize now for any trouble these boys find themselves in whilst in your care, my dear Minerva.”

The witch smiled at the two young boys, but waved the man’s words off with a small shaking her hand.

“Unless they’re terribly like you, I’m not too concerned.” McGonagall paused, sipping from her tea.

“And if they are?” The wizard raised a brow, amusement in his eyes.

Minerva set her cup down gently, glancing down at the two young boys again for a moment before throwing her own smirk at the grown man.

“Then it’s a good think I’ve plenty of practice dealing with the likes of you then.”
