SOME THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE, BUT UNTIL I TRY, I'LL NEVER KNOW. TOO LONG I'VE BEEN AFRAID OF LOSING LOVE, I GUESS I'VE LOST. WELL, IF THAT'S LOVE, IT COMES AT MUCH TOO HIGH A COST . . . AND IF I'M FLYING SOLO, AT LEAST I'M FLYING FREE. TO THOSE WHO GROUND ME, TAKE A MESSAGE BACK FROM ME : NOBODY, IN THIS WHOLE CAUSE, NO WIZARD THAT THERE IS OR WAS, IS EVER GONNA' BRING ME DOWN . . .

“Really? You’re sending mixed signals then. These letters you’ve been sending. “Report to the auror office as soon as possible.” she cooed, reading off her summons files “persons of interest are discouraged from leaving the country during their investigation.” she looked back up at alice. “It’s clear you missed me.”

“Those are because you’ve missed our last two meetings. I unfortunately don’t have a choice.”

Andy giggles. “My work is a little more lenient, but then again, it’s mostly women. Weirdly I don’t remember crying at work, usually I cried because Ted was being sweet.” She laughs. “I realize that makes no sense but I assume you of all people can understand at the moment.” She nodded. “There are a few moving pictures, but mostly they’re stationary. Tonks finds them fascinating.”

“That’s true, it is. I have to schedule my next appointment actually, thanks for reminding me. I’ve had to reschedule the last two, it’s driving me crazy.” She smiles.  “I definitely understand that, yeah.  It’s a very strange thing, but I suppose it could be worse. I haven’t had to deal with morning sickness, at least.” She nods. “I guess I found them fascinating first time I saw them. It depends on what you grew up with.”

“I won’t, I promise! I’m very responsible.”

“No, you’re not. You just happen to be a parent so you think you are.”

He chuckles. “Better late than never.”

“Indeed. So.” She ensures her door is closed. “Am I ever going to meet these kids of yours?”

“That’s nuts, sitting at a desk all day is the worst. If you ever need to just get up, you can come down and see me.” She pauses and shrugs, “As long as there isn’t a case going on.”

“I’ve got some ideas for lunch, but I know Sara was picky about food all through her pregnancies, so do you have any preferences or food you’re really wanting today?”

“It’s driving me insane, but apparently it’s not allowed to have a pregnant woman out in the field. So desk duty it is for the next eight months. I’ll definitely take you up on that at some point. Send a memo first so you can let me know if you’re free or not.” She pauses to consider. “Hm, honestly I’ve been craving licorice?”

“Don’t look so disappointed. You missed me.” 

[alicebarnettbottcm]

“I certainly did not.”

“I’lll have a word with her, I’m sure she’d be fine with it. You’re a good  Auror,  and you’re right. We need  more people that are underrepresented being up front and proud. That’s what we’re about. Or should be. I’ve been rubbish about it lately, and I’m sorry for that.”

She smiles. “Thank you, Alastor. I appreciate the effort. Even if it is a little belated.”

Andy smiles softly. “I have to warn you, that’s going to last for a while,” she says. “Once after Tonks was born I cried because the zipper on the skirt I wanted to wear got caught.” She smiles. “You know, I don’t have many Wizarding pictures of my wedding. My mother in law arranged the photographer and he was a Muggle.”

She laughs. “Can’t say I’m looking forward to that,” she admits. “I could live without the crying.  At least at work, I hate crying at work. I just hide in my office until it passes.” She raises her eyebrows. “Really? I always forget muggles don’t have things like that. I think there’s a potion you can dip them in to make them move.”

Alastor nods. “I know. I didn’t think about that. I know that’s important to you, so as long as you’re not in the field, I’ll find you  something. Maybe  move you in with Greenley, you can help with the younger recruits.”

“Really?” She perks up. “Yeah, okay. I like that. Will Greenley be okay with that? That’s her program, I don’t want to step on her toes.”

Andy gives a soft laugh. “Oh, I remember that phase,” she said. “Poor Ted was always so guilty. I tried to tell him it wasn’t really his fault, but you know Ted.” She smiles softly. “Of course, you’re welcome.”

“I think it just startles Frank, I never cry. Or rarely. Definitely not this much.” She wipes her face again. “I’ve got so many pictures to add to this, I practically made a flipbook of them at the wedding, and on our honeymoon.”

Well, we’re all suffering.

“I’ve been looking forward to eating birthday cake for weeks.”

Edgar snorts. “It’s the best part of birthdays, duh.”

[alicebarnettbottcm]

“Without a single doubt. Do you want some?”

[assidua-vigilantia]

“It’s a cupcake, don’t get too excited.” He puts the pastry on her desk. “Doubles as a peace offering. I don’t like how we left things.”

[alicebarnettbottcm]

“It’s sweet. Thank you, boss.” She takes the cupcake and nods her head. “I didn’t either. Look, I get where you’re coming from, and I understand. I just don’t want to be pushed aside. It’s important for me to stay where people can see me, where people like me can see me.”

“Happy birthday, darling! Here – it’s a photo album. I thought, with you two being so recently married, and the baby, it would be nice.”

[alicebarnettbottcm]

“Oh, Andromeda! That’s so sweet.”  She takes the photo album, feeling her eyes start to water as she looks at it. “Sorry, I’ve hit the everything makes me cry portion of things.” She wipes at her face with her sleeve. “This is really lovely, thank you.”

“Well then, we will have to find some immediately.”

“Ooh, yes please! And we can celebrate for you too! It’s your birthday in a couple days too, isn’t it?”
