Alls Fair is based on the wonderful LettieBoBettie's work on tumblr, especially on asksupermagickids. This is just my little fun project. This is a Michael/OFC story.
It was a field trip to the Ministry for the kids, Chuck had thought it a good idea. His son, Michael, was already in a pretty high job for his age of 32, specifically in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Chuck sighed happily, remembering Michael's years at Hogwarts. He helped Bobby, Crowley, Missouri, Ellen, and the two year sevens along on the ride herd the younger kids in.
Unknowingly a young woman slipped in, next to Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle. She had long white hair and a beanie covering the crown of her head and ears and large sunglasses covering her eyes. She was carrying a briefcase and wore high heels along with some kind of uniform under a thick black coat.
Dean and Jo stared unabashedly at her.
"I like your shoes," Jo commented first, earning a smile and a Russian accented thank you from the woman.
"Why are you wearing sunglasses indoors, and in the middle of winter?" Dean asked next.
The woman's smile stayed, "I have sensitive eyes."
Meanwhile Michael came had come down to greet them and was chatting with his father. He spotted the woman and, amused, asked his father, "Should you really be letting the children talk to strangers? I know we did it, but still." Chuck looked over and panicked. Michael laughed. "Don't worry, father, she's here for me. I didn't expect her so early though." Michael gestured to her and she ruffled Dean and Jo's hair before making her way over.
"Hello Gospodin Shirley," her accent peaked out further. "Direktor Shirley." She nodded her head toward Chuck. She turned back to Michael, "It's in the briefcase."
"Bring it into my office upstairs. I suppose we'll show the children our offices first." Michael smiled at his father and led the way to the offices. He and the young woman entered his office first then came back out without the briefcase. For the rest of the tour the young woman stuck around with the students, close to Michael's side. Chuck thought he saw them holding hands once or twice.
"The girl seems a little off," he heard Bobby comment during the middle of the tour.
"Awhile back, didn't the Prophet announce the discovery of a new Being?" Missouri, the only one who read the Prophet through, asked. "I remember them saying something about them having cat eyes and elf ears but otherwise being human looking. They used magic too."
"Could she be one of them?"
"It is possible." Chuck hummed to himself, it was certainly suspicious she kept her eyes and ears covered up, but the way she and Michael kept glancing at each other then looking away made his heart warm…maybe he could write a book about them. Yes…a fantasy about a wizard falling in love with a strange magical creature. Michael would never know.
