"Rab send the sign, Barty go home and i'll see to my wife", dispatching the other two who had been on the mission with the Rod knelt to beside his wife and pressed his wand against her, muttering a healing spell he had mastered some time ago. As the spell was beginning to work he noticed her eyelids fluttering and then he found himself looking into her eye but before she could speak he had pressed a finger to her lips, "no talking baby, you were hurt in the battle.I've healed you enough to apparate you home with me but you need potions and rest".
Holding onto her he side along apparated them, but it wasn't to the manor he went. Though she was already asleep again when they materialised in the opulent surroundings. Hearing the pop one of the house elf's rushed ut and wrung her hands together as she saw her mistress was hurt, "Pumpkin, go and get healing potions and pain potions and send an owl to my sister in law to let her know we arrived here safely".
As the elf rushed away he picked up his wife bridal style and carried her upstairs lay her on the bed. Just after he had gotten there so the elf came back with the potions he had asked for. "Pumpkin, I need you to help me to support her while i get her to drink these". Knowing how she hated the taste of both types of potion he knew it wasn't going to be easy.
Sitting on the bed behind her he supported her while he got into the right position then he motioned for the elf to pass him the healing potion first. Taking the glass bottle from her he uncorked it then he held his wife's nose closed so that when she opened her mouth he could tip it down her throat before closing her mouth and stroking her neck, only relaxing a little when she did swallow the potion. Repeating the process with the pain potion he finally let go of her and allowed to sleep.
Looking back to the elf he motioned to the dirty things she was wearing, soiled with dirt and the filthy blood of their last victims, "pumpkin get her cleaned up and the bed remade". While the elf bustled to tend to her mistress so Rodolphus left to tend to his own washing needs then he too swallowed a couple of potions. That last mission had been harder than expected, thank Merlin it was over with.
Going back to the bedroom he left his now clean wife sleeping in the clean bed and went to the balcony to look out at the hotel they were staying in. He'd never been here before but his brother had assured him it was the place to go and so he had booked up for the long overdue holiday they were on now. It was why they had both been injured. Neither of them had rested long over the last couple of months and over Yule they had worked harder than ever, taking advantage of the festive season to invade parties and other events. But now it was time for a holiday.
It wasn't until the next morning that she opened still sleepy dark eyes and blinked at the brilliant sunshine streaming in around the monkey perched on the balcony railing staring at her. Where were they? This wasn't their room at Cissy's. Feeling a panic attack approaching she only calmed again as she smelt her husband's aftershave and looked round to see him sitting beside her with a smile, "good morning my little witch". Seeing her confusion he grinned, "relax baby, it's the twelfth day of Yule and I give to you twelve days in Borneo for a holiday. Just you me, the sun and that damn monkey who seems to have taken to us. God knows what your sister will say when we go home with a monkey as a pet".
Blinking at him she looked around again then when she recalled the mission she pressed a hand to her side and was surprised to find no trace f n injury. Looking back at him she tipped her head to the side, "does our Lord know we are here baby". Kissing her gently on the lips he nodded to her question, "yes my little witch, he knows and gave us his blessing. No more working or owls or anything except holiday in the sun". Smiling now she looked around as the monkey jumped onto her lap and chattered to them, "Oh Roddie it's perfect. On the twelfth day of Yule my true love gave to me.. Twelve days in the sun and a new pet monkey".
