marion was sitting at the breakfast table. she had been woken by her sister, freja and their mom arguing rather loudly. the fourteen year old seemed to be rebelling more everyday, today she had decided she didn't want to learn about the goblin wars in school, even though there were two weeks left of the summer holiday.

she hadn't told anybody about her new job yet, deciding that she was going to do it when everyone was together

"i've got a new job." everyone looked up from their food.

"hva? når?" her father said, surprised. her father had gone to durmstrang, moving to the uk after graduating. he had met calliope in diagon alley, when she had accidentally dropped her things in the leaky cauldron.

"yeah, when? finally got tired of that malfoy person hitting on you?" her brother snorted

"yesterday, and he does not hit on me, oliver. anyways. i was walking towards the leaky cauldron, when i saw a child crying." she sai deciding to leave out the fact the child was in knockturn alley. "i helped him find his father, and it turns out he needed someone to be his teacher." marion explained.

"if he has a son i'm sure he doesn't need a teacher." her brother snickered.

marion just looked at him with a blank expression. she was used to this having to have lived with the boy all her life. "and who may it be that offered you the job, marion?" her mother finally asked, ignoring oliver.

"james potter. and his son is anya's age." everyone looked at her. "what, do i have something in my face?" marion said feeling if she had anything on her face.

her sister broke the silence. "well i understand why you said yes, he is rather hot don't you think?" everyone now looked at freja.

marion blushed a little, shrugging. "but isn't he like 30?" oliver asked. "don't you think it's weird working for someone who is so much older than you? i mean in such a close workspace-"

"he's 26, and my old boss was way older," marion responded. "it's not like i am going to fuck him or something, oliver." remembering her younger siblings were at the table she mumbled a small sorry.

...


"marion! there's an owl for you!" her mother shouted from downstairs. marion ran down, tripping down the last few stairs. "well someone is excited for mail." calliope laughed.

marion just looked up from the letter.

dear marion

you can start on monday, i have everything prepared. you can come over tomorrow to discuss the teaching plans. (if you have time of course) if you do just come over, if you don't please send a letter back. the address is at the back of this paper.

sincerely,
james f potter. : D

"what does the f stand for? fleabag?" marion jumped.

"do not sneak up on me like that." marion said sternly. oliver just laughed.

the sun was beginning to set, casting a golden hue over the house. their house wasn't big but it wasn't small either. they had five bedrooms and one guest bedroom. and two bathrooms. obviously a living room and kitchen as well.

marion walked to her room and just sat on the bed smiling
...

"stop overreacting, prongs. i'm sure she'll come tomorrow." that's what she said. sirius mumbled. "she accepted the job, and why are you fuzzing over this so much?"

"i don't know pads, it's just that i really want to give a good impression, you know?" sirius just looked at him

"yeah, a good impression. i'm sure you gave a good impression when you lost harry." sirius answered sarcastically.

james looked at sirius and gave him the finger. it was a couple hours after he sent the owl, and he hadn't received a reply, which was a good sign.

there was a knock at the window. "uhm prongs, there's an owl here.l

"WHAT?" outside the window was a big black owl. "oh no, it's from marion."

dear james

i'll be there by 13:30. i'm sorry if i gave you a fright, i know you said not to reply if i was coming, but i thought it was polite to answer anyway.

-m.a.r

"oh thank merlin, she said she'd be here tomorrow at one."

sirius laughed. "yeah, mate, I figured with the smile on your face."

james immediately dropped the smile, "i am not smiling."

"mhm, sure."

"oh shove off."
