Matilda marched into her apartment throwing her coat on the floor of the small hallway. "Hello?" Lucas says tentatively looking up from his laptop. Matilda grunts and walks to the bedroom. "Good to see you too." Lucas looks back at his laptop knowing Matilda will not talk to him for a bit. Matilda kicks off her shoes and puts on a pair of sweatpants and one of Lucas's tops. She curls into a ball on the bed and pulls the covers over herself, the moment she feels safe she sobs. Lucas walks into his bedroom and smiles sadly when he sees Matilda completely covered by the sheets. "Tilly." He whispers sweetly.

"Go away." Matilda hiccups. Lucas ignores her and pulls the sheets off her and pulls her close to him. Matilda presses her face into Lucas's chest and whimpers quietly.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Lucas kisses the top of her head.

"Christopher is back and he almost killed Charlie." Matilda mutters.

"What?" Lucas pulls out of the hug and cups Matilda's face. "Are you okay?" He looks into Matilda's eyes pain clear in them. Matilda closes her eyes in a battle to hold back her tears as she nods her hand. "Your not." Lucas rubs away a stray tear from her face with his thumb.

"I can't be an Auror." Matilda looks down at her hands.

"Why not? Your training is going well, you are happier than I have ever seen you and you are living your dream. So why can't you be an Auror?" Lucas gives her a strange look.

Matilda gulps remembering what everyone had said right before she left her childhood home. "I am putting everyone in danger."

Lucas scoffs. "Your not but by the way you're looking at me, I am not the first person to tell you that."

"Fuck off." Matilda wipes her nose with her sleeve. Lucas sees a glimmer in her eyes again he takes that to his advantage and tickles her. Matilda giggles.

"Stop moping around come with me to quidditch practice in the morning." Lucas kisses Matilda deeply.

Matilda breaks the kiss. "Sounds like a plan." She then kisses him back.

"Vicky please feed the baby." Teddy yells from the kitchen where he is cooking dinner. Teddy can hear Blaze crying from his basinet in the living room.

"Can't right now." Victoire yells back. As she has her nose in her homework for healer studies.

"Vicky please." Teddy pleads.

"I told you I can't. There are bottle in the milk fridge and you know how the bottle heater works." Victoire says as she carries Blaze into the kitchen and passes her screaming babe to Teddy. Teddy rolls his eyes and kicks the oven closed as he cradles Blaze and tries to get the bottle heater ready and a bottle from the fridge.

"Vic a little help please." Teddy says frustrated as Victoire sits at the dinning table taking notes. All she does is lift her textbook. "Vicky please." Teddy knows like always he will be the one taking care of their son. Teddy finally gets a bottle ready, grabs a towel and makes his way to the living room where he sits of the couch and starts to feed Blaze. "Vicky watch the lasagna would you." Teddy says from the couch.

"Whatever." Victoire says back frustrated. Teddy rubs his forehead in frustration. He looks down at his son who happily drinks. Teddy gives him a half smile. A knock at the door disrupts them.

"Vicky could you get that?" Teddy asks kindly as he makes silly faces at Blaze.

"Still working." Victoire sings. Teddy grunts getting frustrated again. "What?" Victoire yells in return. Teddy shakes his head as he gets up still feeding Blaze. "Out with it then."
