Chapter 1: The battle of the dinertable
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aliana sighed and stretched. She winced as she heard an unhealthy sounding pop originating from her back. Thank good I'm finished! She went over to the window, opening it before leaning out and looking around. There they are! "Harry, Anie, Philip, Will dinner is finished! Wash your hands and come in!" Aliana shouted to the children playing outside. " Mother where should I put these?", came her oldest daughters soft voice from behind her. Turning around she saw Kathrina holding a bag filled with freshly picked herbs. "Just leave them by the stove I'll put them away later.", Ariana ordered, "oh and Kat, would you mind getting Ana and Steph from upstairs while I set the table?." Setting her bag down Kathrin left the kitchen in search of her siblings.
Their mother was already waiting when Will and his brothers came into the diningroom. They each set down at their respectiv places when two of their sisters and their youngest brother came in. " Mother, where are Mali and father?", Will asked curious as dinner was usually a familiy affeir where everyone was present.
" Your sister is staying with a friend tonight. Your father and I allowed it because her birthday is tomorrow. As to where your father is… I don't really know. He ran out of the house earlier muttering about having found something grand and testing it. You know him, Will. It probably is only another of his beloved potion experiments." Aliana explained to her second oldest rolling her eyes as she mentioned her husbands experiments.
Philip was scowling at his mother. " Why do you talk as if potions were something beneath you mother. They are important. They can save lives and a lot of other things. See without the right potion Steph would still be in bed and ill like a week ago. But now see he jumping around healthy. Not only that but potio…." He was cut of by his Harry. " I think we get it by now. Potions are the world. We should all pray to them and worship them like the gods they are." " Why you little..!", came Philips idignant shout. " Oh please Philip he is right. You make it sound as if you want to marry one of the damned things." Will came to Harrisons rescue. " The .. tthh… hhee … the dddda…daa.dddamned th.. thingssss?", Philip looked about ready to either kill his brothers or die of a hartattack himself. Laying a hand on Philips shoulder Harrys twin Nathaniel decided to add in his two coins. He adopted a dreamy look on his face. " Do not mind them brother mine. These simpletons will never understandt the beauty of the art of potions. Do not fear I can see it clearly before me now. You will become a famous brewer, be happily married to a sleeping potion and have lots and lots of beautliful little potion flasks running around in your cauldron-house.!" He lasted for about a second then he burst out laughing at his brothers face, which had become hopefull at the beginning of the speech but had now drastically changed into a mask of fury. Philip pulled back his arm and then punched Anie with all his might in the nose.
All of them sat stunned for a moment after the loud crack was heard. Nathaniels cries of pain were the only sound for about five seconds, then all hell broke loose. Harry looked ready to murder Philip for hurting his twin and was bearly restrained by an equally furious William who was debating wether he should hold Harry or help him with Philip.
Kathrin, always the sensible one took a crying Ana in her arms and a shocked Steph by the hand and lead them upstairs.
Aliana jumped up and practically flew to her sons side. She took a quick look at his nose before she started shouting orders to William and Harry.
Who were way to preocupied with staring down Philip to hear their mother.
" William! Harrison! Listen to me damnit!" Aliana shouted to them which finally got their attention. Their mother rarely swore but if she did you should lay low and play dead, otherwise you soon would be just that.
After telling them what to get her she and Will heaved Anie onto the bank, seeing as he had fainted from the shock of having his nose broken by his own brother.
Said older brother was standing exactly at the same spot the others had left him, starring disbelivingly at his fist. He had never hit anybody before. Why did I do this? Why was I so angry at him for simply teasing me as we always do eachother? Philip felt ashamed when he heard the soft cry of pain comeing from the livingroom. Oh yes not only ashamed but very much so. He knew all would be angry and disappointed with him.
Edward sighed in releaf as his house came into view. His experiment had been a complete and utter failure. He just wanted to get home , eat something enjoy the evening with his family and maybe the night with his wife. He smiled as he pushed to frontdoor open. Finally. At home. Ahh, delicious peace.
He didn't know what hit him.
