✧SALEM AND HOGWARTS✧

◊━━━━━✥━━━━━◊

Rabastan had felt rather anxious, both Cara and Ronan would be starting their Salem semester in two days. But that meant that they were leaving within the next few hours.

Aurora promised to send owls a few times a day, as well as take pictures—Though she usually did this anyway. Yet it did earn a groan from the twins.

"Oi! That's enough of that, let your mother have some bloody peace of mind with the pictures I take."
"Mum, you take hundreds," Cara mentioned, and Aurora perked her lips, clearly offended at being called out, and thus she walked away.

"You lot could be brutal when you want to be," Rabastan whispered, and Lori pouted as watched her mummy walk away. "Brutal, how?"

"Well it's clear that your mummy wants to have a keepsake of this milestone with you lot, and if it weren't for the photos that's she taken and kept...I wouldn't have seen a lot of your childhood adventures had been like. With that being said I don't want you lot to mention or groan at the thought of pictures. Simply smile—Yes Ronan smile. And no silly faces and it'll fly by." Ronan could understand the importance of a photo album, he had been the one to snatch his mum and father's wedding album a good few times.

When Rory had returned, the children put on their best smiles in an attempt to apologize. But she hadn't said a word on being angry, she simply kissed Rabastan goodbye and took the three to the Ministry.

Course Aurora had been mulling over whether or not to let Lori stay with her father, but there would be plenty of time throughout the year to allow that. And she decided that it was too early for that responsibility and thus, Lori was holding her mum's hand...Slightly nervous from what happened in the previous time she had arrived to the ministry here in Britain.

However she felt perfectly fine this time, even if her mum was babying her. She simply repeated that same answer of being fine until she saw her uncle.

"Uncle Reggie! I've missed you so much!" She cried, her satchel have fallen to the ground as Regulus hadn't wasted another before scooping her up in his arms.

"My darling Lollie!" He shouted with the same enthusiasm that had the children around them giggle at how silly their papa was. However the same reaction had been given for Reg's children as they simply adored their Aunt Rory.

"Roror!" The twins cheered, and Aurora had made her way towards the girl's boosters seats as apparently they had arrived just in time for breakfast—Though they had already had lunch off in Britain.

Regulus had a very difficult time in keeping his mouth shut when he heard the children talk about their father, and while Phoebe's hand squeezed his thigh in warning. It was ultimately Aurora glare across the table as she buttered a piece of toast and poured herself a cup of tea that silenced anything he wanted to say.

She knew he was going to try and convince of something she already knew, that Rabastan was a horrible influence—That all the good and positives things being spewed out of the children's mouth was just one version of him.

Perhaps she wanted to live in a fantasy world a bit longer, to think that she was simply here to visit to escaped brother and she never really ever left Britain.

But it was clear that she did, so clear when Aidan had come and kissed the top of her head—Silencing the entire table.

A blush had grown up the entirety of his cheeks as he realized his mistake, which left Regulus to question Lori about her dolly adventures. Ultimately leaving the misstep in the past, though Ronan still didn't know how to feel about it.
