In the Beginning
"Saaaaaaaaaay?"

"Whaaaaaaaaat?"

"When did you learn to speak French?"

"I don't know, when did you learn to breathe?"

"Haha, funny."

"No seriously! I mean, I lived in France until I was ten."

"Oh right, you where _hiding_ 'cause your father was running away from the
Ministry."

"Stop giggling! You guys were running as well only _you_ had to hide in
_America_."

"Sticking your tongue out? How mature. And to say that this is the boy I'm
going out with."

"Oh puh-lease! You're only going out with me so that your darling Romeo
will get jealous. You know our parents will have a fit if they thought we
were actually going out."

"Yeah, I can see my mum lecturing me, saying that your father will kill me
if he ever found out and that my remains will be spread all over England."

"Funny, I can see my father saying the exact same thing about your dad."

"Haha, funny. You know my parents used to tell me horror stories about your
father when I was a kid?"

"Reeeeeaaally? What did they say?"

"They said that he kidnapped you dad when he was still in school with my
parents and forced him to live in a horrible dungeon!"

"Oubliette."

"Huh?"

"It's called an oubliette you dummy!"

"So it's true?"

"Kinda..."

"Oh do tell! I love good romance stories!"

"Father had to hide Dad for a little while during the war so he pretended to
kidnap him and then locked him in the oubliette. Well, it wasn't _really_
an oubliette. It had a secret passage leading out. It's original purpose
was a place where Father could hide if there was an attack on the house so
the secret passage comes out in his bedroom."

"Oh, I can sooooo see where this is going."

"Right, you can stop laughing now if you want to hear the rest of the
story."

"Ok, I'm good now."

"Right. So Dad was locked up and quite pissed off 'cause he wasn't told
anything and thought that Father was going to kill him or torture him or
hand him in to Voldemort or something stupid like that. So he tried to get
out and, you know what an oubliette looks like, right? Well, he couldn't
reach the opening so by sheer dumb luck he managed to open the passage."

"How?"

"Oh, he started randomly cursing in Parsletongue and the passage opened up.
He didn't even know what he said!"

"Cool!"

"Yeah! Anyway, he decided to see where the passage will lead him and ended
up in Father's room and –"

"Snogged him!"

"Ewwwwwww, no! And if you keep the mental images up I'll tell you about the
time Dad walked in on your parents –"

"Ok, fine, I'll stop. Finish up you story."

"Well, basically Dad punched Father in the gut and then Father hexed him and
only then figured that he should maybe explain everything to him. The end."

"Cool!"

"Wanna? See the oubliette?"

"Sure! Let's go!"

A/N: there there. with a word like "oubliette" you figure the fic will
_have_ to be dark and/or angsty. well guess what? I figured I'd try to do
something cute. so, just in case I messed up _too_ much the ones talking
are Harry and Lucius' son (adopted or otherwise) and Hermione and Ron's
daughter (didn't manage to weave in the fact that it's a girl, did I?).
what I love with these is that you can get away with so litte background
explanatio ^^. and yeah, Ron and Herm were also in hiding for whatever
reason...I'm sure I can come up with something.

so there it is! C&C always welcome!
