Rabastan had been a frantic mess, he had constantly eyed the clock all of yesterday in wonder when the first sign of the owl would arrive.

But it hadn't.

And when he questioned Aurora on it, he realized the stress that would follow in their first night , and that they'd get in touch as soon as they could. "I didn't want to write to my parents either, not when it out to be an apology letter claiming the sorting hat must've been wrong."

"The hat was not wrong, not at all."

"Yes well, I hadn't known that at the time." She said, curling back into her pillow and groaning. Especially when he locked his chin onto her shoulder, leaving a kiss to her bare skin.

"Nooo. I want five more minutes."

"But doesn't a bagel with Lockes on it sound delightful at eight-thirty?" She perked her lips with a slightly narrow gaze to add to it.

"Something to say about my breakfast choice Lestrange?" She said, arching her arm to look at him fully now. How was it that she was half asleep just a second ago but was all but prepared to throw up an argument in defense of her favorite snack.

"Nothing. Not a single thing."

"That's what I thought." She curtly instated, turning back into her pillow trying to return back to sleep. "Though I do think it's a bit much for a morning meal, and you can't pair anything with it." He said with a large smile on his face, perhaps he should start teasing her more—Especially if she was making that face.

"Ice tea."
"Merlin, surely not."
"I'm going to feed you it for the rest of the week, shove it Lestrange. I want to sleeeeeep." She knew what he was doing but it was leaving her restless, surely he could understand that she was tired?

But like most things in a full house, Lori had come barreling in without much of a knock. "Mummy! Rommy and 'Mara's owl came!" She cheered, hurrying onto the bed before jumping up.

Her nightie hadn't been much help as it was a small window of opportunity for her father to tickle her right at her stomach.

"No papa! Come! I wanna know if they're a birdie or a snake!" Aurora couldn't find a reason to stop laughing in seeing her husband, a full-fledged adult—At the whims of their youngest.

Leaving her to grab a robe and wrap it around. "Come on Loli, I'm sure papa wants to take a shower. And we have some breakfast to cook." Rabastan stilled at the idea of having to wait to open the children's letters to know for sure, so he took his time in his morning routine.

Which left him to check on Cara, who was twirling her hair at her window's seat and continued reading even after he knocked and found his way in.

"Cara...? Did you read all night?" Her innocent eyes popped up to look at her father as she leaned forward to look at the time. Causing her to pout.

"I fell asleep for barely two hours, and I didn't want to bother Roe or sleep with Lori."

"And the wolves?"

"It's easier to just to read a book." Her comment caused her father to chuckle, all before he sat down beside her to take a peek at what she's reading.

"You've gotten that from your mum then, I cannot tell you how many times I've caught her reading at various hours of the night."

"Rommy always catches mum sleeping at her desk. I don't know why I can't sleep." Wrapping an arm around her shoulder was how he brought his daughter to his chest, and she so easily conformed to lean into her father.
