Ava's pov

"Fuck," I huffed as I slumped against the wall. God I'm old. I'm not meant for this. "You are so annoying!"

The boggart formed like Cerus looked genuinely hurt. "Hey..." it sighed.

"I'm sorry, but you did just throw me against a wall,"

"She said If I stopped you I wouldn't have to go back in the wardrobe" It stomped it's foot reminding me of when Anne used to throw tantrums. "How was I supposed to know you feared someone you've already defeated twice?"

"I'm not afraid of Cerus," I crossed my arms. The boggart rolled their eyes and threw their hands up.

"Look since I turned into this jackass I'm honestly just gonna go back to my wardrobe."

"It's me," little Cerus said next to me suddenly making both the bogart and I jump.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"All the kids came, I didn't want to be left out."

"All of the kids?!"

"Yeah after Anne was grabbed,"

"Anne was grabbed!"

The boggart gave an ah-ha, "that's right I was supposed to threaten you with that,"

I waved my hand and the boggart was thrown into his box with the door locking behind it. "Cerus, where is Anne?"

Sebastian's pov

"Aren't you handsome," a female voice said from behind me.

"I mean, yeah," I smirked and turned towards Isadora. She stepped off the bottom of the stairs in the center of central hall. I had been looking for Ava, but I guess I found her first.

"Unfortunate... Ava married an Auror,"

I pretended to look offended,  "well what's that supposed to mean?"

"She probably waists her talents on you,"

"I mean.... Probably but we are both happy."

Isadora rolled her eyes, "I'm here with a proposition,"

"That's against all auror training..."

"I have Anne, she's currently standing on the ledge of the Ravenclaw tower."

"What did you say?" she smirked at me immediate anger.

"Aww, she's your favorite isn't she,"

"Not at all, that's a normal response to your child being kidnapped by a crazy bitch," I pulled my wand out.

She smiled and pulled out Anne's red wood wand, "the word you meant is witch,"

"It wasn't,"

"You don't want to hear my proposal?"

"Not really,"

"Give me Ava, you can have Anne back." She offered, ignoring what I said.

"That's it?" Ava said from the other side of the giant room. She and Cerus looked out of breath as if they'd been running.

"Ava," I warned.

"You'll let Anne go?" Ava asked Isadora who gave me a smirk before glancing behind her at my wife.

"Yeah, it won't be too good for you though,"

Ava began to open her mouth before someone else spoke quickly.
