Harry stood in the air, now that he was with his parents again he could no longer fly like he did during the school year. But no force on earth would keep him bound to the ground. And not being allowed to ride the winds also had its good sides. For one he could focus on the other abilities he had disregarded before. Using his winds to scout out territory he could not see, creating wind blades (while he could already create blades, he had practically no control over them) and using his winds to shield himself and others.

An explosion blew out one of the Cathedral's windows. Harry ignored it. Blaise screamed "THEO!!!" Harry ignored it. Theo jumped out of the window screaming "LIKE A BOSS!". Harry ignored it. Theo ran across the herb garden, Blaise hot on his heels. At some point they started up the lawn sprinkler. Harry ignored it. Theo grabbed one of the rune-enhanced flamethrowers (Godric had them lying around, Merlin knows why) holding it against the water drops and loudly singing "I set fire to the rain". Blaise tackled Theo, sending the flamethrower flying into the hedge where it did not set fire to the rain but to Salazar's precious rose bushes. At that point Harry knew that he had to intervene.

With a few swift movements Harry let the winds gather the water from the sprinkler and extinguished the fire. Blaise meanwhile was regaining his breath. "We shouldn't have introduced him to muggle culture. Especially not to the sweets." heaved the incubus.

"You are only realizing this now? I thought that was clear when he used his wand to destroy most of the furniture whilst screaming Doctor Who quotes at everyone and everything."

"Thank god for this being a highly magical place otherwise we all would have been expelled from Hogwarts at least ten times by now. And it's barely a month into summer vacation. By the way...why are you parents away so much? Not that I mind but them being away kind of is the reason that Theo is able to go...wild...like this."

"I don't know. But I do intend to find out. Which of course will be a piece of cake. I can blackmail them by telling them that I will send compromising pictures of them to the other."

""Compromising pictures"? Do they cheat on each other? And can you even say that they cheat on each other, considering that they did not get back together yet, which is kind of a miracle in itself?"

"They do not cheat on each other. But if your sexually frustrated partner who desires you very much gets a picture of you in a...revealing outfit...let's just say I have it on good authority that neither Salazar nor Godric have that much self-control..."

A scream from the Cathedral cut their conversation short.

"Sounds like Theo found Regulus again. Come on, let's save him. I kind of like having a little brother, especially such a cinnamon roll as Regulus."

"My family, putting the Fun into Dys-FUN-ctual since 2007"

Harry was carrying an unresponsive Regulus to the couch while Blaise was off, chasing Theo again. One could merely hear several cries of "Basinga!" from different points of the house.

"Hey, Regulus? Can you hear me?"

"He kept ranting about a guy called Chuck Norris. Apparently that person can do incredible things. Maybe we should recruit him if Voldemort ever comes back to life." Said Regulus before falling sideways onto the couch.

"Oh dear Mother Magic herself, Reg, wake up!" said Harry, he could hear Theo approaching again. Judging by Regulus' condition he might not survive another encounter with a sugar crazed Nott Heir.

"This is the number of Regulus Black. I am currently unavailable, so please leave a message after the tone."

"Well, I am really sorry to do this but this seems to be the only way: Yo mama so fat her boggart took one look at her and turned into a head of lettuce." Regulus grunted. Harry could see Theo poking out behind one of the pillars. Well, time to bring out the big guns:
