"Mum, is Mason my new dad?" Harry's question is quiet and full of fear. It's a question that sends my entire world off kilter.

"End of conversation!" I say loudly, standing up with my hands outward. "I don't want to know anything about that! What about your little girlfriend, Dad? I thought you two were serious or something?"

"I'll bet you on the gender, but not about them getting pregnant," Rose gives a shake of her head. "I'd lose that one."

My throat hurts from cheering so loud. The game commences, and must I say, Puddlemere is playing at their best. I've not been to a game in years and now, I feel as though it's my first time. My anxiety is hitting an all time high each time the Tornadoes' beaters sends a bludger in James' direction.

"Anna, how good to see you," He smiles at me, taking a sip of the champagne in his hand. "It's been, what? Three years?" I frown at him, wandering when he's talking about. From what I recall, I haven't seen him since I was pregnant with Harry. "You remember Ellie and Freddie's wedding, don't you?"

"With his Dad and Regina," I say with a shrug. "Probably up to no good." As long as James kept Harry safe, I'd stay out of it. "Have you heard from Dad?"

"Allright, two minutes, ma'am," The Wizard smiles kindly at me. Mistaking my jitteriness for panic for my son. I'm an awful human being. "Hope your boy turns out fine."

Clear blue skies hangs above us as we continue our neverending trek. My hair is pulled back into a long braid and I'm wearing robes that are thin enough to keep me cool, but thick enough to protect me from the sun.

"Protego!" Tildy appears at my side, sending a shield charm between us. I hurry and disarm the woman and send her sprawling as well. "Well, that was close."

"Mum, I have a question and I don't think you're going to want me to ask it," Harry says quietly as we sip on our cocoa. I look at him questioningly, wandering what on Earth he is talking about. I give him a nod, signalling for him to keep going. "Well, you see, Torie and Teddy have three kids. And Dad's got a brother and sister. Grandma has six elder brothers and I was just wandering if I'll ever be a big brother."
 

"I try to be," I smile at him half-heartedly, feeling my heart skip a beat at the look he is giving me now. A look that speaks volumes. "What?" My voice is a whisper as he slowly steps toward me. He doesn't say anything, his eyes focusing on my mouth.
 

"Shhhh," He hushes me gently in my ear. "I'm here, I'm here."

"Really?" I ask in disbelief, narrowing my eyes at him. Studying dragons along with their trainers has been something I've lacked on my resume, but it seems to good of an opportunity to be true.

"Yes well, probably missed me," I grin, setting down my flowers on the table and slowly make my way toward him.

I've tried every single cooling charm known to man, but I can't take it. Frustration mixed with desperation overcomes me as I lean on the island counter.

The end.
