The academic year has started, so the update speed will most likely fall. But I'll still do my best to translate fast!

Days were getting colder and colder, and it was raining often, so the quidditch trainings were rarer and rarer. The kids weren't bored though, as they were too busy with music and dance. And for Draco, also another kind of lessons started. Narcissa decided it was high time for him to learn the letters.

'This is A' she said, showing him. 'A is for apple…'

'Akila wan too!' Aquilla said, coming into the room. Narcissa chuckled.

'Okay, sit here. And now both write some As.'

Later the kids were told to draw a few things beginning with A. Both of them drew apples, and apart of this, Draco drew alley, album, almonds, academy, amber and acorn, while Aquilla drew a girl – herself – a blonde woman – Narcissa – Azkaban and a wand with green light bursting out of it.

'A is fol apple, Akila, auntie, Azkaban an' Avada Kedavla!' she announced with pride. Draco looked at his drawing.

'Should have thought of Avada Kedavra too' he sighed.

'How do you know about it?' Narcissa frowned.

'Grandma' Draco explained shortly. 'She told us everything.'

Narcissa murmured something that the kids certainly weren't supposed to hear.

'Why glandma illesponsible?' Aquilla asked, frowning. Narcissa smiled weakly.

'Because she taught you things you are too small for' she explained poorly. The kids nodded.

'So, any other things that start with A?' the woman asked.

Both kids were excited with letters and waited impatiently for new ones. They were also doing better on piano and they stopped making so many mistakes while dancing.

'Pass the coffee?' Lucius asked at breakfast.

'Coffee' Draco repeated, flashing a challenging look at Aquilla.

'Cookie' the girl replied.

'Cereal' Draco continued.

'Candy' Aquilla added.

'What the hell are they doing?' Lucius asked, confused, stirring his coffee.

'Cat.'

'Clisp.'

'Playing' Narcissa said casually. 'It's just their little word game.'

'Cup.'

'Canaly.'

'What, saying words that begin with one letter?' Lucius frowned.

'Cabbage.'

'Camela.'

'Exactly' Narcissa nodded.

'Cage.'

'Camel.'

'How long can they do this?'

'Cherry.'

'Cleam.'

'Until one of them – usually Aquilla – runs out of ideas.'

'Castle.'

'Coppel.'

'So I see teaching them the letters goes quite smoothly.'

'Curse.'

'Clucio.'

'Yeah, we have two very smart kids in here.'

'Cover.'

'Chail.'

'And as if it wasn't enough, they are stimulating each other.'

'Cow.'

'Cave.'

'Yes, Draco doesn't want to admit it, but if he doesn't do his best, Aquilla may soon outsmart him.'

'Chain.'

'Chlistmas.'

'Well, regarding who her parents were, I'll be surprised if she doesn't…'

'Couch.'

'Callot.'

'Are you talking about Bella or Roddy?'

'Cake.'

'Comb.'

'I meant Roddy of course. Bella is no smarter than you.'

'Collar.'

'Clocodile.'

'Well, there is at least one thing Draco did faster than Aquilla.'

'Country.'

'Cook.'

'What do you mean?'

'Crab.'

'Closs.'

'Pronouncing the R. Draco could when he was in her age – even earlier.'

'Corn.'

'Camp.'

'True… I just wish they stopped already.'

'Child.'

'Cheek.'

'Kids, it's a tie' Narcissa said loudly. The kids interrupted their game and looked at her apologetically.

'Why a tie?' Draco whined. 'I can think of many other things that start with C!'

'Who cales bout othel things?' Aquilla grinned, taking another cookie. 'C is fol cookie, good enough fol Akila.'

'Oh, Kila, I'm sure you find at least one more thing starting with C at least interesting…' Draco sneered. Aquilla smacked him jokingly. Draco pretended to be whining in pain and smacked her back.

'Enough, you two' Narcissa said, pretty amused though. She remembered sisterly fights back at home. 'Fighters won't get any music.'

The kids calmed down immediately. Lucius chuckled.

'I couldn't handle it' he admitted.
