Isabella knocked lightly on the door to Voltaire's office, then opened the door. "Darling, how are you feeling today?" she asked. "I have some news for you."

Voltaire perked up in his chair at hearing his wife call him from the door. "It's open!" he said as he stood from his chair to open the door. Ozzy the baby ferret seemed to be liking Subject alright the dove's egg was under a sort of incubation spell, and the duck was in a small plastic tub on the floor of his office with mud and water and dirt to play in, which it did happily peeping the whole day. Which was why he felt distracted at finishing his lesson plan. he opened the door and said "Welcome! to my farm!" throwing his arms wide ready for a hug.

Isabella walked into his arms and kissed him. When she pulled back, she was a little breathless, and she smiled at him adoringly. "How are you doing today?" she said. "Any more pain?"

"No, i've been alright! Leo the duckling however has been driving me mad..." he said glaring at the puffy yellow duckling that had stopped peeping. He had been feeling sore, but had no intention of letting that stop him from continuing with his class. "what have you been up to my lovey? what is this news i have to hear?" he asked leading her into the room and wraping his arms around her and kissing her neck.

"Mmmmmmm... How am I supposed to discuss news when you're doing that?" she murmured. She held him closer and arched her neck to give him better access.

"News... heheh now what news?" he continued for a moment and then stopped. he kissed her nose and said "Come on, what is it exactly you needed to tell me?" he said still teasingly holding her.

"Oh, OK," she said, laughing slightly. Then she grew serious. "Well, Alastor has left for a while. He's going to investigate Erasmus Craven, and... well, you know Erasmus as well as I do... Alastor may not come back. He's asked us to look after Natalie and Sabrina."

Voltaire looked seriously at Isa. "Isa, can we handle that many children? We need to begin thinking of where we can move all of them during the summer hols, so far hogwarts hasn't let students stay during the summer." he said worriedly. Now he was begining to feel the pressure of being a parent for older children. it was hard beging to accecpt it all.

Isabella was worried, too. She sighed and touched his cheek, which was fuzzy with stubble. "Well, right now, let's just hope it's only temporary and that Alastor will come back. Also, I think we can have Lucie Wright help keep an eye on Sabrina and Natalie, because she's their cousin. I think we can handle it, because the school is in session, so there are really lots of people around to help... but we need to hope that Alastor does come back. Erasmus is an evil man... he may have killed Alastor's sister... Natalie and Sabrina's mother..."

"I wouldn't put it past the mangy cur." said Voltaire frowing. "Sabrina worries me love, she's a smart kid, but her darkness, the desire for revenge she has... I think it could consume her." he said thinking at her nearly joyful expression as she cause Subject to fall.

"I've noticed it, too," Isabella said. "I've talked to Alastor about it before. I've also noticed her reading a lot of books in the hall... they claim to be Transfiguration books on the cover... but she seems way too engrossed in them to just be Transfiguration. Either she's planning to become an Animagus, or she's learned how to Transfigure forbidden books into innocent-looking ones. Natalie is fine... the fact that she's an Empath is a concern, but she's got a good head on her shoulders for her age. With proper training, she can learn to control her gift." She shook her head. "Erasmus Craven iis one sick man, you know that? Honestly, at that awful meeting, before you came, he was all over me... even Charles wasn't that smarmy!" She made a face as she mentioned the meeting... a day she wanted to forget. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned the meeting..."

"What? that old goat was pawing my lady?!" Voltaire felt like tracking him down and skining him alive! how dare he! *heheh* "Do you think we should have a talk with all of them at once? maybe over dinner? Anna and Rori at least will have to get used of the idea of being one big family and not just cousins." he said worried that maybe things wouldn't be as smooth as he hoped they would .

"A big dinner would be a nice idea," Isabella said. "But I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. Even knowing Craven the way we do, I'm going to hold to the belief that Alastor will come back. I need to believe that he will... I'm so tired of all the terrible things that are happening around us and I need to believe that the good people won't always be trampled by the evil ones..." She laughed slightly. "Kind of a funny thing for an ex-Death Eater to say, huh? But it's true."

Voltaire kissed Isa's temple and said "I'll have faith, only because I think we can do it, but given the way Craven is... and how high up he is in the ministry. We'll have to talk to Dumbledore about everything we know, I don't know about you, but I've been putting it off." he said feeling like a dull ache in his head

"I know," Isabella said. "But we do need to talk to him. We did learn quite a few things at that meeting, things that are important for the Order... but I haven't been terribly anxious to relive that day." She kissed him softly. "I still feel so guilty about not getting you out of there sooner..."

"There was nothing that could of been done Isa, for me it was a stroke of brilliance that you hit him with that! I guess so many think he's untouchable, but he isn't and you proved it" he said kissing her. "When do you want to go talk to him? should we do it now? or after my class is over?" he asked holding her tighter.

"It wasn't anything, just a Disarming spell," Isabella said, embarassed. "I didn't dare try anything stronger. But I've noticed he always underestimates the simpler spells and the old magic. It's a weakness that I think we can use." She kissed him. "I think we should do it now, darling, before you're tired out from class. I know, I don't want to, either, but it's important."
((You can make a thread in Dumbledore's office if you want...))
