Part 2 Chapter 5

Making breakfast was more of a hassle now days. It helped with Griffin getting the hang of his wand again, but he preferred to do it the muggle way, but Raven is where the hassle came from. She preferred it when he did it the magic way, with as much flourish as possible. It usually resulted with Griffin in an irritated mood and breakfast consistently being toast.

"Raven there is no reason to be taking so long to maliciously cover that entire piece of toast in butter, hurry up! Your tutor will be here soon."

Raven's tutor was a muggleborn by the name of Will Rex, he was a couple of years younger than Griffin and had not attended Hogwarts (Griffin made sure of that, there was never going to be a point where Griffin would be in the mood to reminisce about his time at school with a fellow attendee). He had chosen to follow a more muggle career of ordinary teaching and apply it to magical families who didn't send their kids to muggle primary schools out of fear they would not be able to adjust properly to a school where they weren't even allowed to speak of magic. Will Rex had come from a whole agency of similar tutors, this would be his first visit to the Black household but their second tutor from the company.

They had sent someone, an older woman named Vanessa who had come in expecting to teach at a 9 year old's curriculum level, which is what she would have been learning at a normal muggle school, but Vanessa soon saw Raven's higher potential. When Raven told her that she got there by reading through Griffin's entire book collection at a young age and going further by getting a library card and reading through books on all different reading levels, highting not only her ability but importantly; her comprehension, Vanessa was impressed.

Griffin had a giggle when Raven had first told Vanessa she had gotten there 'Matilda style', and Vanessa had shot her the most confused look, Vanessa was not a muggleborn.

"Why is it getting here so early?" rudely calling Will an 'it'.

"He is not getting here early, you just woke up late."

"With all that spare time you had while I was sleeping in why did you not prepared a better breakfast?" She muttered into her toast.

"Oi." Griffin said, pointing a scolding finger at her, 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you."

"What are you doing today then, while I'm at the tutor?"

"I'm going to work."

"It's a Saturday."

"Gringotts is open every day of the week-wait a minute! I work every Saturday, have you not noticed till now?!"

Raven looked at him sheepishly, and shrugged.

"Why do you think Narcissa turns up every Saturday? For fun?" Raven mumbled something incoherent. "It's to look after you when your tutor leaves, just like she does when I'm working Tuesday to Friday."

"Wait, did you pick the tutors to come on all the days you're working?"

"Of course, I want to spend Monday and Sunday with you, do family stuff." He said, looking at her like it was obvious.

"Well, I'm willing to give up tomorrow's family play date-"

"Don't word it like that."

"-so you can take that Mel girl on a date."

Griffin spluttered, opening and closing his mouth several times.

"Have you even called her?"

"No, I..."

"You what? You chickening out is what caused you to miss your chance with Emily, just call her, you were brave enough to get her number." Raven said, before tearing off a large chunk of toast with her teeth.

"I thought you didn't like Mel."

"Why would you think that?" she asked, her tone and facial expression telling Griffin she though he was stupid.

"You were kinda rude to her."

"That means I like her, if I didn't like her I'd just fucking ignore her."

"Language."

Sorry that this chapter is a bit of a boring filler, but I'm trying to show the family dynamic now that they are out of the muggle world, also because I didn't really show very much in Part 1.
