Soon after breakfast, Rory held back at the fact that the children went off to do their own thing. And Rabastan remained seated for a few extra moments, so she reached over to grab his hand in both of hers. "You could help Lorelei set up her room, the others like to act like they're mature. But you could still offer help, they still need to get to know you Raba. And I can name a few times where I've been unneeded for them. They went to their Aunt for help on homework instead of me." He gawked, shaking his head.

"Merlin they're daft, I would've jumped through hoops to get your notes for classes."

"Yes well, they're children. And I was thinking about a tutor for Lori so she's prepared for Salem."

"A tutor to prepare her for Salem, to prepare her for Hogwarts?" Rory rolled her eyes and poured herself another cup of tea and she smirked.

"I can see Lori wants to have a conversation with her siblings half the time and cannot keep up...Do you think I'm pushing her? I certainly don't mean to, perhaps I should—"

"Love, a tutor is a wonderful idea. But how much can you prepare her for Salem, you don't want her to be bored the first day of school. Nor can she get a wand until then." She let out a settling breath and she rubbed her brow, rather hard in Rabastan's opinion.

But she soon hummed in pure exhaustion.

"Rory, go and get some rest."
"I haven't the time. The potion is meant to come out in a month, and I have people who rely on me for work. I can't simply call out." Perhaps it was difficult now that she had a higher position in the potion world, but then he smiled.

His kitten made it.

"Then I'll leave you to your hefty schedule, and if you do need my help I can brush up on my law books."

"That's a wonderful idea!" Aurora sparked in pure excitement, leaning further to face him did she smile so brightly.

"I'm not the best at the legal or law side of potions, and I think it's starting to become apparent to my team. It'd be just like what you did before. Just looking over certain things, and maybe some paperwork?"
"You'd hire me?"
"Not yet, perhaps after everyone heads to school for the semester...And I know you won't be able to travel to Salem to see them off, but I've sent an owl for them to be lenient with you, so you can join us on the platform for the twins."

The sudden realization dawned on him in two regards, one being that he was still on house arrest. But the bigger of the two was that he still felt like he was going to be returning to Hogwarts, and now seeing off his children to board the Hogwarts express?

"And then we need to have a proper talk with the twins—Later. Perhaps a week before school starts, I'm damn sure Imara has some of Sirius' traits when she—"

"A Gryffindor?!" He sputtered, trying to clear up the spit from his given sip of juice.

"Oh no, not at all. I meant with the pranking. But like I said, she wants a Niffler."

"A Niffler? Surely we called that before but how is she going to manage that?"

"A domestic Niffler. Their collar has the shiniest of any jewelry and they'll be content and calm. Otherwise the little fellow will try to swallow the whole house...The house is worth about seventy-five million." He shot her a questionable look, but she waved it off as she took one of the last pieces of fruit.

"The bank had owned all three, and I don't think it's wise to reclaim the other two when that's not an investment on any front. The deed will remain in the Lestrange vault, but some people were interested...Though I'm not about to take anything away from our name." He was relieved to hear her say that, actually...he was smiling at how generally concerned she was over it all.
