 Rabastan returned that night, not as late as she expected but she smiled never the less when his cologne filled the room when he knocked.

"Well someone missed me." 

"Of course, the bed was cold without you." He plopped down beside his wife and wrapped his arms quickly around her, and at this point she didn't care about her lost page in the book. Later she would, but for right now he back and perfectly alright.

"You didn't say that you'd be gone for that long."

"I didn't know either, did they behave?" Her laughter was silent as she agreed.

"Yup, and I think Avery is out ring shopping as we speak." 

"Fucking finally, sweet Salzer you don't know how annoying he's been." Booping his nose with a small tap did she interject.

"I believe you were just as annoying, and Harper is going to react just the same." He pinned her further into his chest and whispered damning things into her ear that suggest what they could do for the rest of the night.

"But what about the puppy." He groaned into the air, having wanted to be in the moment and here she was bringing up a previous conversation.

And then the realization hit.

"Oh no...Nonono, you are not compromising." 

"I dunno Raba, sex for a puppy sounds reasonable." He gawked and denied it.

"Is that the Ravenclaw way?" 

"No but it's certainly Slytherin of me, how about we talk about it more after you take me to bed." Rabastan wasted no time at all to bring his wife to bed, his mates knew to leave shortly after his arrival...And this was mainly why.

Mr.Lestrange didn't care what his wife was wearing, she had her signature scent of lavender and a sweeter twist of flowers intertwined. The man needed a distraction, he lavished in her comfort and the ability for her to make him forget.

Merlin was she satisfied, and Rabastan had been indeed calmed down from the high of his Death Eater aura. He returned to his home persona as he snuggled further into his wife's hold. Aurora twirled his curly locks around her finger and hummed along to the song she was thinking about.

"I believe a mutt will be the best practice before we have children." Being so attached to her did he feel the vibration of her giggles, causing him to squeeze his hold on her further. "Now that's an idea, but then we'd have to get a puppy." 

"That defeats the purpose of a guard dog." He was getting better at throwing up a disagreement, but he nodded.

"We'll get a puppy." She squealed, instantly wrapping her legs back around him, taking in his cheeks with her hands once more to direct herself to his lips.

"With that reaction, I should've come home with one." These bouts of happiness were the best of her moods, and if he could carry it out further then what was the harm?

Unfortunately for him it didn't last that long, October 31st had she woke up from a nightmare and decided that it would be best to just stay awake for the rest of the night even after three short hours of sleep.

That morning she missed class even after Zane's teasing, it failed entirely. But Rabastan couldn't bring his wife out of this rut, she looked rightly tired and nothing seemed to get her attention. She just laid in her chair away from his hold and stared at the ceiling.
