That one stings a little, I'm always in the middle

—

Reg couldn’t stop himself from feigning a blank look for a moment, as though he was trying to remember which of his cousins had married such a bland man. There were only so many cousins he worked with, though, so it wasn’t as if he could get away with a game of twenty questions. “If you mean ‘Meda, I’ve not seen her since.. I’m not sure. It’s been busy.” As if that wasn’t abundantly clear by the state of the waiting room, but he wasn’t sure how well Terry or Tim or whatshisname’s deductive reasoning worked. 

His bored expression slipped into a slight smile when he caught sight of Nymphadora, though. Whatever unfriendliness he’d subject Andromeda’s poor choice of spouse to, he wasn’t going to do the same to her daughter. “But there’s one of my cousins right there. Merlin, Dora, you’ve gotten tall.”

It was a bit obvious the man was snubbing him, it was even more apparent when he bypassed speaking to him directly and started talking to his daughter. Dora, being the outgoing people person she was was about to speak before her father cut her off. “Cut the shite, Black”, Ted told Regulus before picking up Nymphadora. “Just tell me what floor she’s on.”

    Sirius stared at the new brooms that had just been released. There were moments where he considered it. He considered trying out for a team and see where that took him. He had been decent during his years at Hogwarts after James had convinced him to give it a shot. Yet, that meant tying himself to one thing. Sirius wasn’t ready for that type of commitment yet and what if he grew to hate it. He was so busy in his own thoughts that when a voice called to him, he jumped slightly. “Blimey– don’t go around scaring people like that!”

When Sirius jumped, Ted did as well. Clasping his hand over his heart he pulled in a few deep breaths. “Me”, he asked, his voice cracking like a prepubescent. “You nearly gave me a heart attack!”

“Name and manner of injury?” Regulus was many hours into a shift that still had many hours left, his patience having worn thin three biting teacups and six biting textbooks ago. He was starting to look about as frayed as he felt, sleeves on his white coat shoved up and empty coffee cups stacked on the desk behind him. “Quickly, now, there’s a full waiting room behind you.”

“Oh uh”, Ted scratched the back of his neck nervously. He was always nervous when it came to interacting with any of the Blacks aside from Sirius or his wife. “Actually, I’m looking for your cousin”, he confessed innocently, gripping Dora’s hand a little tighter as if Regulus would steal her away from him. “My wife.”

Where: Steps outside Gringotts

“Goblins. Little shits.” The brunette grumlbed as she thundered through the doors of Gringotts, letting the large doors bang shut behind her. She had a bit of a reputation at work. She detested the goblins, and really would adore to be out in the field, collecting cursed objects. But no, she was here, having to deal with the goblins. Of course some of the actual humans she worked with were like goblins too. But, she decided to keep that fact to herself for now.

She sighed, pausing at the top of the stairs and just taking a breath. She had gotten fed up, and ended up out here a little before she actually needed too. And now, she had some free time before her actual appointments this afternoon. So, she was a little stuck on what exactly to do.

It was Ted’s day off so as any good house husband, he chose to spend most of the day running errands for the family. It was the least he could do seeing as it was his wife, Andromeda, who was the bread winner. Lovely woman, Dromeda. Not only was she content with being his, miraculously, but also content with his low paying apprenticeship. Though Ted did tend to feel guilty.

Looking down at the shopping list in his hands, the man mumbled the items to himself as to not forget any, something he tended to do. In fact, he was so enraptured in the list that he wasn’t paying attention to where he was going until his shoulder knocked with another's. “Blimey I’m sorry”, his words fell away quickly as he looked up realizing it was his estranged sister-in-law he’s collided with. He stood starring, a bit of fear preventing his limbs from moving.

♕ —– Her brows rose up before she simply nodded. “Why not something more muggle,” she asked as she leaned against the counter. “Not that you’d find any of that here.” She looked about the shop. “But I do know where you could find some.”

x

It wasn’t that he had anything against the muggle world, in fact he quite missed it some times. But he didn’t often get the chance to visit it much anymore. “That’s be brilliant”, he said with a smile. “She doesn’t have many muggle items. It might be a good change of pace.”

♕ —– Carefully, Mary stood back to her feet and tucked the book that she had picked up in her arms. “You’re not a bother,” she replied and she placed the book back on the shelf where it was supposed to go. She tilted her head at his question and then pointed up the stairs. “Up there, to the left. By the window,” she said with a nod. “We got a new copy of the Beedle and the bard. The cover is pretty even if it’s not my favorite book of fairy tales.”

x

Before he could stop himself he’d already shook his head no. Realizing that he might have come across as rude the man began to backtrack. “I mean, she’s just already got a copy. From her mom. Is there anything else you might suggest?”

There was nothing worse than being pregnant in the summer. It somehow seemed hotter then any other summer, and all she wanted was to sit in a cold shower or go swimming. But instead she had to spend her days in the Prophet office, or out on assignment taking pictures. She was trying her best to save every Sickle and Galleon she earned for things for the baby, but time was going so much quicker then she could have imagined. It was already August, and her baby would be here before she knew it. She had popped into the second hand store after work and she had found a few things in there, and then she decided that she deserved to treat herself, so she stopped at Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream shop for some ice cream to hopefully cool off. Getting into line behind someone, she smiled brightly. “What are you getting? I always try something new so I’m looking for suggestions!”

♕ —– The student rush only just finished and Mary looked about the book shop with a frown. They left a mess of the book and she was the only one there to clean it up. She combed her fingers through her curls to keep herself from screaming out her frustration with working in retail and knelt down to pick up one of the transfiguration books that had been left on the ground. The bell dinged as she shut the book carefully and examined the binding. “Welcome to Flourish and Blotts, where we have all everything you need for your studies,” she recited like the robot she felt and looked up at the other with a forced smile. “If you need any help, I’ll be here. Playing maid.”

Ted gave the woman a small smile. It had been quite some time since he’d seen little Mary McDonald, though that was no one’s fault but his own. Most people tried to have a life after graduating, he chose to get married and start a family. “I don’t want to be a bother”, he tried to shrug it off. But then it dawned on him, he didn’t really know what he was looking for, or at least where to get it. “Actually, where would I find the children’s section?”

“I suppose he is an ogre and those are real. It’s not impossible that one has settled in the forest. I don’t think he’d be anything like Shrek though.”

Ted looked around before moving a little closer to the girl, his face getting closer to her’s. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but Hagrid, he’s part giant right? So why couldn’t there be someone who’s part ogre who’s a lot like Shrek”, he asked in a hushed voice.
