“Fashion help for Caitlin? Count me in,” Lyra beamed as Declan announced the reason for his arrival with bags in hand. “I’m assuming these are all things for the warmer months coming up? You better have some cute sweaters in there for the little princess.”

Declan nodded, “Yep. She’s already grown out of the stuff from last year, she’s getting big so fast,” he replied, grimacing in a joking manner at the thought of how big she’d gotten, “I have cute sweaters a plenty. He’s number one,” he said and pulled the first one out of the bag.

“In that case I am not embarrassing anyone.” Because she certainly wasn’t the type to be embarrassed by herself, at least not with something like this. “A toddler though? Well I suppose you really have to have no embarrassment when entertaining a little one.”

“Oh yeah, it’s a life full of embarassment,” Declan replied, chuckling, “It’s all worth it to see her smile though.”

Jules sighed. She wasn’t really sure how to answer that, given how overwhelmed and awful she felt most days yet the actual job itself was living up to expectations. “I think so,” she replied with a shrug. “It’s a lot, as you can probably imagine. Especially now,” the blonde commented.

“Of course,” Declan said, nodding and then pulling out his phone, “Wanna see photos of Caitlin’s weekend in London with Grace? She always cheers you up,” he suggested.

“One!” Lily exclaimed, waving the essay slightly with a gleaming smile. She let out a small laugh. “That’s what you get for going to the world cup, I got pretty much all my grading done then,” she teased lightly.

Declan laughed, “You say that like I should regret going or like I’ve left myself way more work when in fact I’m only two essays behind you,” he pointed out as he wrote a comment on the essay he was reading, “You wanna have a movie night when we’ve finished? It’s Grace’s weekend with Caitlin so she’s not back from London until Monday.”

“Looks fantastic, Dec!” she complimented as Declan showed off his new Quidditch jacket. “It totally suits you. And who knows? Maybe this is the first step in your journey of becoming a hardcore Scottish team fan?”

Declan laughed, “Wales will always hold my heart, you know that, but I can make some room for other places from time to time,” he joked, “Did you enjoy the game then?”

Grace: Oh you know, out on the town, drinking and talking to boys.

Grace: Kidding. Of course.

Grace: We made some sugar cookies, now we're watching Disney Princess movies while she paints my face with make up.

Grace: I will do both those things, I promise.

Declan: Oooh suar cookies! Save me some for when I pick her up!

Declan: I also request a picture of your face paint for my own amusement

“Hey Lucy, look,” Declan spun around, pulling out the hem of the jacket a little to show it off, “I got some merch. I don’t know when I’ll get the chance to go to a Scotland game again but pretty cool, right?”

“How many flying accidents to you get in the hospital? Ball park number. I just wanna be prepared for how many are going to the hospital wing for accidents when I finish my training. I feel like that’ll be the downside of the job.”

“I know you’re probably not allowed to tell me much about your job given what’s been going on recently but are you still enjoying it? Happy about the job I mean.”

“Okay, I bought new clothes for Caitlin and she’s getting to the age where she notices and has a say in what she wears so I need your opinion before I show her. I can tell her my fashionable friend approved them for her and not be lying,” Declan joked as he sat down next to Lyra with some bags.

“Oh man, you should have seen. Kid did two, that’s right two backflips on his broom without falling off and then landed on his feet. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it, even from professional flyers.”

“Whoa, hey, are you okay there?” Declan asked, spotting the other, “Do you need someone to talk to about it? I’m a very good listener and a great secret keeper so I won’t tell anyone.”

“So I was thinking about taking Grace down to Wales for a long weekend before the school year starts again. Did you want to come with?” Declan asked, “I’m sure mum would want to see you too. Co-parenting holidays are a thing right?” He asked, chuckling.

“I’m not even sure what the point of that was,” Declan said, “Who makes an announcement in a public place to a bunch of strangers like that?”
