Chapter 13 : Blue Plate Special
Places to go, people to meet, new experiences, lists to be made, rides to be taken and all before tea. Gran gets into the spirit of things and Severus returns to the ‘land of the living’. Just in time for dinner. Yum, yum!
Chapter 13 : Blue Plate Special
“Hellooo!”
“Dad! What’s the word?”
“Where’s Anna?”
“Taking a nap. She is really starting to feel the pregnancy . . . . and . . . . She’s carrying twins.” Gwen grinned at Christopher.
“Really? Did the sonogram . . . . ”
“Dad. No electricity, no sonogram.”
“Oh, right.”
“But I distinguished two heartbeats and she’s showing a bit too much, for a first pregnancy. Anyway, what’s the word on Severus?”
“He’ll be just fine. Appendix was dealt with, he is being treated for any resulting infection and for the after effects of any ‘punishment’ Voldemort might have subjected him to . . . . the bastard.”
“Agreed, but with a little luck, he’ll soon be referred to as ‘the late’ . . . . ”
“Late? What? Who?”
Anna was halfway down the stairs, eyes wide, gripping the railing.
“Late Lord Voldemort, Anna, we were disparaging his name.” Christopher was quick to reassure her.
“Oh, you scared me!”
She came down the last few steps and saw Gwen wagging her finger.
“I thought you were taking a nap.”
“I was resting, but heard you talking. I came to see if it was Christopher or if you were losing your mind, and had started talking to inanimate objects.”
“Ha! Ha! Very funny, considering I now talk regularly with a ghost and my own dead Father. And what about Tut, he’s not exactly your run of the mill Harley,” Gwen noted
“True. Well,” Anna continued, turning to the portrait. “How is he?”
“Remus says Artemus told him that Severus will be just fine, he’s resting and will probably be back at Hogwarts day after tomorrow. They’re keeping him asleep for twenty-four hours to heal completely.”
“Right. Okay, now I can relax and get some rest.” She sat on the bench. “Please thank Poppy and Artemus for their quick work and Remus for the report, plus Harry, Draco and Albus, especially Harry and Draco; that was outstanding teamwork.”
“I hear I’m going to be the great uncle of twins!”
“Yes, apparently . . . . Great uncle?”
“Closest relationship that sounds correct. I’m not going to be Grandpa, not yet, I don’t think.” Christopher gave Gwen a long look, with his eyebrow arched and then he winked.
“Dad!”
“Christopher, you are incorrigible,” Anna laughed. “But let’s not tell anyone about the twins; I want this to be a big surprise.”
“Oh, it will be,” Christopher agreed, chuckling.”
