For: Kitty Bridgeta, again, who is equally as amazing as she was 9 days ago!
Day 18
On the eighteenth day of Christmas…
Little Xeno runs to his side. "Daddy!" he shouts, his sweet, childish voice more excited than he's heard it in a long time.
"Yes, sweetheart?" he asks, picking the boy up and kissing his little nose.
"Mummy's doing an experiment!" He pronounces the word with careful enunciation, the meaning behind his words apparent not to him, but to his father.
"Aah. Thank you for being the messenger, Xeno. Run and find Newt, will you?" He sets the boy down quickly. He's already gathered up his papers, and with a wild look in his eye, hurries downstairs.
She's standing in front of a table, her blonde hair messy and her eyes covered with a protective magical haze. "Rolf! I was wondering when you'd come. Did Xeno tell you?" Her voice is airy, as usual, and so he knows that she hasn't yet started.
"Of course. Thank you for sending him – and for waiting for me. What are we doing today?" He casts the necessary protective spells and then puts his arm around her waist.
"We're trying to scare away the Nifflers. May be difficult, but this potion is said to…" She continues with her explanation, and he simply tightens his hold around her. How he loves this woman.
"If all goes well," he says, kissing her, "this will be your Christmas present."
"Well, then, Happy Christmas!" she says confidently, and then, "Full speed ahead!"
(Rolf/Luna)
Notes: Bit less intense than the other ones, a bit fluffier. Xeno & Newt are Rolf & Luna's eldest boys, followed by Lorcan and Lysander – but not yet.
