✧VISITING HOGWARTS✧

◊━━━━━✥━━━━━◊

It had been a wonderful change in scenery, from their Black family estate to the upbeat attitude of Hogsmead. Simply bliss considering she could spend her time freely amongst the crowd, all while holding Alphard's hand as she lead the way.

He was perfectly content in having her lead, considering she had been the last one in the small town. Business never brought him this way before, but with his nephews still in Hogwarts—He could see this becoming a regular thing once or twice a year.

Especially with the quaint inn above the three-broomsticks, it was rather an experience to have such an opposite look on things. Even grabbing breakfast the next morning had dawned on him that he wasn't on prefect duty.

Currently, they were heading into the Hogwarts grounds early, hoping to speak with Professor McGonagall about taking the Black brothers and Rabastan out for lunch.

Rhea had reminded him that whoever was set to win would most certainly be hosting a party in the common room. Which prompted him to ask if she had ever attended one, though the answer had been no to his surprise.

"I haven't got the taste for fire whiskey or a drunken crowd, so my attendance was in the corner with a book. Though I did like the card games for other parties, that was a grand time." Yes, his wife was certainly a cheeky devil.

It wasn't difficult to find McGonagall on game day, though Rhea had knocked on the classroom door regardless and smiled in a greeting to her former headmistress. "Ms.Lestrange, this is a rather impromptu visit, how can I—Oh not at all, Mr.Black. I suggest you go straight back to once you came!" The woman had instated.

"Actually, professor...It's Mrs.Black now, Alphard's my husband. You see, we're here for my brother's game today." The woman had inspected the man coming alongside her now and noticed the difference.

"Yes, I see it now. You've married the right Black wizard, Rhea. My apologies."
"None taken Professor, though perhaps you could apologies in the form of allowing my nephew's and my brother-in-law to join us for lunch in Hogsmead after the game?" McGonagall considered the request and nodded.

"I don't see why not, have them return in a timely manner—and you must inform Professor Slughorn as well." Rhea had turned giddy with ease and looked up to her husband at the thought of their plans coming together swimmingly.

She couldn't wait to see them!

After having confirmed it with the headmistress, the two Alumni had continued off towards the Slytherin head of house only for Alphard to pull his wife back and look among the awarded trophies.

"I know you were awarded something for being captain love, it's at home." She teased, and he pointed off into the case to share that there was a photo aligned in there as well. "A pain in the arse those trophies are to wax when serving detention." A voice called out and Rhea squealed in seeing Sirius.

"Well then don't get so many detentions, or is it the wax that's making your mind run muck?" Alphard called out as Rhea pulled Sirius in for a hug.
"Yes yes, I missed you too Rhea—Uncle, you're looking great!" It was a rather tease, seeing as his nephew was only a few years younger than his own wife.

But no matter, he was happy and Rhea was happy.

"We're on our way to go and ask Slughorn if we can take Regulus and Rabastan out to eat after the game, McGonagall already said yes if you're interested."
"For sure, I've had enough of James on my tail trying to get in another practice. Bloke's a menace." After wishing his a final 'good luck,' the two ventured further into the dungeon and Alphard attempted to hide his distaste for the subject, but Rhea knew better.
