Aaron Away

With a huge smile on her face, Bella grabs her broom  and her bag and heads for the front of the school. As she walks she checks her phone for any messages, there is one from Aaron saying that he and his team have gone to California to help on a case and will more than likely be a few days before they come back as it is a nomaj case.

She replies that she may stay in the dorms until he gets back just so she will have company. She then apparates home and lands in the living room. She drops her things on the couch for now since she can smell food being prepared in the kitchen. “I’m home, Mitsy.” She calls as she goes to wash her hands.

“Welcome home, Miss. Bella. I prepared some chicken alfredo for you tonight and taken a plate for myself and Dobby. I am sure there will be leftovers that you can take tomorrow, since Mr. Aaron and Mr. Jack will not be here tonight.”

“Thank you, Mitsy. Would you and Dobby like to eat with me tonight? You two usually eat out in the garden, right?”

“Yes, miss. I know I would be happy to join you for supper and Dobby would be very delighted. Should I prepare the table for us or would you like to eat outside?”

“Outside would be a nice change.” Bella says, grabbing her cup and heading out to the patio. On the patio, Dobby has the table set for them with fully loaded plates and the three sit down to eat.

After supper, Bella helps the two house elves clean up before walking to the LeMontage house to tell Jack good night. Jack and Henry run over to her and hug her and all she does is laugh when she realizes that they are both naked and wet. “Honestly, you two. You should already be ready for bed.” She says, before waving her hand over the four year old and the two year old and conjuring them up some clothes. “I just came down to tell you good night, but are you two giving Mr. Wil a hard time.”

“NO!” The two boys exclaim.

“Oh, really, then please explain to me why you left the bathroom both naked and wet.”

“Because we wanted to play tag.”

“Bedtime is not the time for playing tag, Jack.”

“There you two are.” Wil says coming over to the trio. “Hello, Bella. I see you managed to get them dry and dressed.”

“Yes. Magic is a wonderful thing as long as these two stand still long enough.” Bella replies, picking Jack up as Wil picks up Henry. “Would you like me to put Jack to bed?”

“Yes, please. thank you.” He leads her upstairs and indicates to a room on the left of the hall way. She goes into it to find Jack’s things in there. She walks over to the bed and puts him down. He crawls under the covers.

“Are you going to call Daddy?” He asks with a small yawn.

“Yes,” she says, her phone already in her hand. She calls the man in question.

“Hello,” the man says picking up the phone.

“Hi, Mr. Aaron,” she says, putting the phone on speaker. 

“Hey, Daddy,” Jack says, sleepily.

“Hi, Bella. Hey, bud. Did you have a good day at school, bud?”

“Yes, the teacher is having us make pictures of our families and we started to learn to write the ABCs. My letters turned out all squiggly.”

“That’s how it always starts when you learn to write you should have seen mine when I was first learning my teacher said my ‘c’ looked like an ‘s’.” Aaron tells his son. “And what about you, Bella? How was your day?”

“Wonderful. We had a sort of review day in my Beginner’s Healing class and Transfigurations. A brewing day in potions. We worked on the Patronus charm in Defensive magic today, and I was just helping out since I was one of the two students who could already perform the spell successfully.  Oh, and I successfully made my  starting house quidditch team as the seeker. Practices start next week.”

“That’s great, Bella. Now I really have to go since I am working and it is only about four thirty here. So, good night to the both of you. And talk to you tomorrow, if we’re not back before then.”

“Good night, Daddy,” Jack says.

“Good night, sir.” Bella says.
