chapter 2 ~ cooking

March 11th 1984, Sunday

It was a nice morning. Venus, as usual, started playing the piano. This time, she chose "Love of my Life" by Queen

"Why do you always have to wake me up so early?" stated Regulus as he let out a yawn.

"Good morning to you too!" she responded. "And don't be so exaggerated, it's 10:30 am, and it's a very slow piece"

"It could be slower"

"Okay" she said and started playing Rondo alla Turca.

"I GET IT!! Please just stop!"

"Sorry, grumpypants" she muttered below her breath.

"What did you say?" 

"Nothing!" she said with a big grin.

"What do you say we make some french toast for breakfast?"

"Sure!"

They both headed to the kitchen, and started preparing the ingredients.

"Okay, so you make the mix and I cook them" he said whilst getting out the frying pan.

"Why can't I cook them?" she asked 

"That's why" said Regulus, pointing at the black stain in the roof.

"That was one time!" she said, laughing as she remembered what had happened. 

It was 1981. Walburga and Orion had recently died and Regulus and Venus had just remodeled the kitchen. To celebrate, they decided they would make egg fried rice. They had made this recipe before, so Regulus had decided that he would let Ve do the frying part. A couple of seconds had passed, and when they decided to go fetch a glass of water, they were met with a frying pan burning up to the roof. 

"Fuck!" screamed Regulus. "Aguamenti!"

A sizzling sound was heard, as the whole kitchen was flooded, with bits and pieces of vegetables and rice floating around the kitchen floor.

"That was fun!" cheered Ve. They looked up at the newly painted roof, where a big black stain was found were the fire was.

"Now, who tells Kreacher?" said Regulus, grinning, trying really hard not to laugh.

"Not me, shotgun!" screamed laughing Ve, rolling her pants up from the water.

"Pray for me" said Regulus 

They both laughed, remembering the instance. "Kreacher almost killed me that time" laughed Ve

"Don't jinx it" said Regulus, whilst cooking the french toasts.

A couple moments later, they both sat down at the kitchen island, eating happily the toasts. 

"So, any plans for tomorrow?" asked Regulus.

"Schoolwork. And maybe some Bach" 

"Nice. I got another hearing on the Williams case. People don't seem to understand that unintentional magic is a thing."

"Yeah, happens." she muffled with a toast in her mouth.

"I got to be careful though, after all the paperwork we had to do about your case, people think that everyone can do the same." he said, referencing to the paperwork they had to turn in in order for Venus to be homeschooled.

At this point, they were happy. They were a little family living comfortably in their home. If only they knew...
