"Your sons have been digging in the mud again" Flitch said dragging a boy forward to the table. The woman looked up calmly from the paper she was reading.
"There is nothing wrong with getting dirty." I said eyeing my offspring that the caretaker had drug to my feet.
"How do you know they are the ones digging? This boy isn't even dirty."
"They've been harvesting baby mandrakes, attacked my they did. Out cold I was, took me half the day to track them down." Flitch said beginning to fume.
"And what do you have to say about this young man?" I said looking to the boy, who looked right back at me (jeez he looks like his father… they all do)
"I didn't do it. I swear, it must have been somebody else." The boy explained causing Flitch to snarl. The boys were rather smart, when ever they did something against the rules they always left somebody out of the loop. So when the clueless one was questioned about the "crime" they could honestly deny it with no fear of exposing anything through legemincy (which their father used quite freely on them) They were identical so it worked rather well.
"I fear as usual that you over zealousness to catch the culprit had again led you the wrong conclusion." I said again addressing the caretaker.
"Mr. Flitch if you would please unhand my son." Reluctantly the old man released the boy, who immediately disapperated.
"They aint supposed to do that!!" Flitch squawked. "Its against the law!"
"They are not British citizens therefore the law does not apply." A deep voice drawled behind him. Flitch face grew a dark shade of purple.
"Its dangerous, they could splintch. They should be punished for trying something so dangerous!" he choked.
"Elwin's do not splintch, furthermore my sons do not try to arraperate they simply do. There is no danger involved." I said rolling my eyes. Flitch stalked off mumbling to himself about retribution. I smiled as my husband leaned down to kiss me. "What's all the fuss this time?" he asked seating himself at the table as well.
"Apparently your son's have gone about digging up roots again." Severus raised an eyebrow.
"My sons? Suddenly I am the only responsible party?"
"Yes yours. They don't get the urge to go to muck about in soil in search of roughage from me." I said scanning the next page of the paper.
" No, they simply have your insane need to manipulate everything in sight." Severus droned sarcastically.
"Are you finished for the afternoon then?"
"Yes , No more dunderheaded babysitting today."
"You know it still surprises me that you keep calling your students these names after you have children of your own." I said laying down the paper to study Severus. "Don't you dare compare my offspring with the brainless lot that attend school these days." He scowled.
"Well come on I suppose we'd better see what really happened this afternoon." I said folding the paper and standing.
