The young and the jealous.

It's been a busy week, as expected. Not only have I used Potter's influence as savior of the world to strong-arm the Ministry into allowing us to bring Goyle's son to visit him, I also set about investigating the possibility of reducing the charges against him . . . which Potter doesn't yet know, and I find myself less than thrilled about

Emmy and Bean are finally in bed. That's the last time we let them stay up until all hours with Amelia. I'm sure Shane and Charlie are ready to kill us. I vote no more sleepovers until things are a bit more settled around here.

[dracolicious]

They've both been peevish enough with another attention usurper to contend with, so I see it as a necessary evil.

[boywholives]

I do wish that Bean would stop referring to him as his brother. I mean...

[dracolicious]

All he knows is that when Daddy and Papa come home with a baby, surely it must belong to us. You try explaining the theory behind fostering to a four year old.

How's your leg?

[dracolicious]

You tell me. Bloody thing looks as if it was caught in the middle of a playground war.

[boywholives]

Or you were beaten by very, very short house elves.

[dracolicious]

They wouldn't dare. Brats who despise schoolwork, on the other hand. . . .

And what are you doing, little Oscar? That's Morty's old dummy, you know. He may want you to ask permission before gnawing on it.

[dracolicious]

Can't do much damage without any teeth, really.

[boywholives]

Well, they're due any day now considering his age.

[dracolicious]

Some babies don't cut any teeth until they're a year old, you know. Considering how well The Count has learned to use his new weapons to his advantage, I'm in no hurry for this one to arm himself.

[boywholives]

He seems alright, yeah? Happy?

[dracolicious]

Well enough. Probably misses his mummy.

[boywholives]

Do you think that he...that he saw it?

[dracolicious]

Maybe. I don't know. I can't imagine that he missed it, being in the same room, but hopefully he had no idea what he was looking at.

[boywholives]

He certainly is quiet.

[dracolicious]

Good. One screamer is enough.

[boywholives]

You don't think he's too quiet, do you?

[dracolicious]

Reckon he's plotting something, Potter?
