Dominus' office after he pushed Cael and Terra through the floo:

"So what is it that you wanted to speak to me about my lord?" Aurorus inquired watching Dominus warily as said vampire sat behind his desk.

"Hmm Oh yes I wanted to inform you of your duties for the next 9 months," Dominus smiled and gestured for Aurorus to sit. The blond raised an eyebrow and sat across from the vampire lord.

"I thought I would do what I normally do when the twins leave," take a break, he thought to himself.

"Oh no, you're going to be doing something very important for me Aurorus," said Dominus grabbing a few papers off of his desk.

"Yes?" the blond urged when Dominus paused too long.

"You're going to school with the twins when they leave for Hogwarts in a month and half," the red haired vampire lord replied smiling sweetly at his vassal.

"…..."

"Aurorus?" Dominus waved a hand in front of the blond.

"……"

"Aurorus? Hello anyone in there?" the red head got up and began poking the other vampire trying to get a reaction.

"Aurorus. Aurorus. Aurorus. Aurorus." Dominus poked the other in the eye.

"WHAT!?!?!?" Aurorus shouted and rubbed his stinging eye. Dominus pulled back as if struck and made as if to cry, "Aurorus I was just trying to get your attention, you don't have to yell at me," fake tears formed in the other vampire's green eyes as he looked at the offended blond.

"Why are the twins going to Hogwarts and why do I have to go these nine months are supposed to be my break from babysitting!" the blond exclaimed outraged.

"hmph, well they're going because of the Triwizard tournament, and though they can't compete it will be a good experience for them," Dominus said clearly affronted that the puppy dog look he learned from Terra had no effect. He was going to have to work on that some more.

"But why do I have to go it isn't safe," the 'for me' went unsaid but it didn't stop Dominus from hearing it. The vampire lord smile, "because Aurorus as I told you earlier you're the twins' favorite guardian and as such it would be easier for you to chaperone them."

Aurorus rose from his seat mouth open in denial, "But—"

"No buts it is unbecoming of one of your stature Aurorus, now I'm sure you have other things to do today," Dominus dismissed the stunned blond from his office pushing him out the door and slamming said door in the poor vampire's face.

"But Dominus! you can't do this to me! I resign! I refuse to go babysit those demons and their little minions! Dominus! Are you listening to me!!!"

Elsewhere in a Pegasus drawn blue carriage:

"ACHOO!"

"Oww!! What was that for!"

"For sneezing at the same time as me Monkey King!"

"Oh get off your high horse already!"

"You wanna fight or something brother"

"Maybe—ACK!"

"sigh, and they were getting along so well a minute ago," Gabrielle said closing her book to avoid getting caught in the crossfire of fighting twin vampires.

"I want a twin," Claire sighed wistfully observing the brawl and exchange of curses. Ryan stared at her disbelievingly, "you want that," he gestured towards Cael and Terra with his own book.

"Yep, having a twin would be fun!" she said happily ignoring the looks she was getting from Ryan and Gabrielle.

"I thought elves were pacifists Claire," said Scott also observing the fight, "ten sickles on Terra, Wolfe who're you goin for?"

"Hmm I won't take that bet Terra is going to win."

"HEY!" Cael shouted from underneath Terra as she pinned him.

"We are pacifists but they're only playing," Claire answered twirling her brown hair showing off her pointed ears.

"Right, of course they're only playing," Gabrielle said slowly ducking as a curse flew in her direction.

"I can't believe they're fighting over sneezing at the same time," Ryan said moving out of the way as Terra got thrown at his seat. She snarled and dived at her brother.

"Yeah, hey you know when you sneeze someone's talkin 'bout cha," Scott commented wincing as Terra barely missed kicking Cael in the crotch.

"…."

Everyone looked at him incredulously, even Terra and Cael…sorta.

"Where on earth did you hear that?" Terra asked holding Cael in a head lock.

"What!? It's a muggle saying!" he said indignantly.

"Muggles' re so weird," said Gabrielle with Claire nodding her agreement.

"Agreed so Scott stop associating with them," commanded Ryan who opened his book now that Terra and Cael had stopped fighting.

"Unless you're gonna prank 'em with me!" Cael exclaimed having gotten out of Terra's choke hold. Terra in turn glared at him and smoothed down her clothes.

"hmph whatever," Scott sulked (pouted) in his seat. Everyone was silent.

"Oooh he's so cute when he's pouting!!!" Claire exclaimed with stars in her eyes.

"Huh?" Scott edged away from the elf slightly.

Gabrielle giggled, "Claire have you joined the Scott Miles fan club at last?"

"Oh no not yet I was waiting to ask if you and Terra would join! I've heard such great things about it! They stalk Scott taking pictures and selling them on the Wizard Web. They even write slash fanfics about him!" she gushed and all the girls laughed, "so will you two join with me it'll be sooo much fun!"

"Of course!"

"Most definitely!"

"Ryan I think they've gone insane will you protect me, I'd ask Cael but he just got beat up by his sister," Scott said edging away from the crazy fan girl that is Claire.

"Oh!! How cute we can do a Ryan/Scott pairing it'll be a hit!" Claire exclaimed and the other two nodded in agreement.

"Hey! Great now look what you did Miles you idiot!" Ryan hit him over the head.

"Ha ha Oh Ryan you shouldn't hit you significant other like that," Cael laughed making fun of them.

"We can make Cael their pet too," Terra interjected into the planning of the story. Cael looked at his sister curiously, "What do you mean by pet?"

Gabrielle whispered into his ear what 'a pet' was making him go red in embarrassment as Terra smiled innocently at him.

"Terra! You better not!"

"Oh it'll be a great story, right girls," Terra said happily

"Yep!" they both replied enthusiastically. The boys all moved away from the crazy girls and when asked later after the story was posted, they either went red in embarrassment or denied all association.

okay that's the end of the chapter. the next one'll probably be out today or tomorrow and they will finally be at school and the triwizard tournament will be announced by madame maxime

until next time (which'll probably be soon)
