“Jon!”  When they’d been separated by the crowd, Mary had come to the hospital.  It made the most sense.  It was the place she could be the most help, would be the safest, and where Jon would know to come looking for her.  And he finally did.  Not a moment too soon, she’d been holding her breath until she saw him.  She pushed her way through the crowds until she could wrap her arms around him.  

“Mary!” He could barely choke her name out before she had wrapped her arms around him, and he took a step back to keep his balance, arms wrapping tightly around her, as well. He kissed the top of her head. He had known she was all right—that at least the worst of it hadn’t gotten to them—but he still just needed to keep his eyes on her. “A-Are you all right? H-How are you f-feeling?”

Jon, buddy hey. Jon! You alright? Are you hurt?

Jon immediately looked up, whirling around to where Edgar was calling his name. He shook his head, his jaw dropping slightly as a hand went to his hair. “Uh—I was l-looking for...f-for you. And A-Amy.”

She smiled brightly as he wrapped his arms around her, laughing lightly at his words.  “And I can feel it,” she said with a small smirk, referring to the kicking she had started to notice over the past week or so.  

He took a sip from his glass—water, nothing else, because if she wasn’t drinking, neither was he—and crinkled his nose. “There’s a t-tiny person inside you.”

Edgar smiled between Kira and Jon, watching the interaction between the two of them and feeling his heart swell with happiness at the sight of it. It was the first time in a long time that he’d ever seen Jon looked relaxed, and Kira was fascinated to see someone new. He chuckled softly. “She kinda’ does, yeah,” he agreed. “We named her Kira Olivia Bones. So she’s got a bit of Mum in her.” He nodded. “She’s really tiny, yeah. Fat little thing, but small.”

Jon felt his smile falter slightly, and the bright grin that was on his features was replaced by a tighter, close-lipped smile, though it was still warm, still genuine. He tilted his head, blinking at her features, her chubby face gazing up at him with something Jon couldn’t quite place, and he crinkled his nose slightly. “You r-replicated yourself.”

I’m glad I’m not the only one.  Everyone said it was their easiest class, and I barely got through it.

“It w-wasn’t flying c-class so much as f-falling class.”

“Nah,” he said, and laughed as he said it. “It’s alright.” In particular, Remus had dropped his drink on him on purpose, and it had been a half hour but it was still endearing. “That’s adorable. You know that’s adorable, right?” 

Jon chuckled, ducking his head, feeling his ears grow slightly warm. “I haven’t s-seen her in a m-month, okay?”

indogyearsimdeadsirius:

“I’m alright.” He gave a shrug. He was doing better than alright, but there were a few things he couldn’t talk about, even with Jon - like the cottage, and the little pond near it. “Where were you?” 

“Uh—can’t really s-say,” he murmured. “Wor-Work stuff.”

Jon had been looking for Amelia, Annie, Ed and Mary—somehow, all of them were managing to get separated in the chaos that had engulfed everyone who had been at the party and in Hogsmeade. Jon hadn’t thought to go back to his flat. He didn’t want to. He knew what would probably be waiting for him there—at best, the words dirty blood written across his doorway. At worst, it would have been burned down, if they knew that Mary had been spending most of her nights there, with him. He didn’t want to think about it. He pushed past the people in the lobby with murmured apologies, trying but failing to locate his family.

“Oh, it’s fine. Believe it or not, this isn’t the first time tonight someone has spilled something on me.” He looked at him quizzically for a moment. “Where are you going?” 

“P-People should be m-more careful. People l-like me.” He gestured to where Mary was talking to Lily across the room. “I f-find that I always w-want to be close to her. Just i-in case.”

It’s confusing, right?  There’s so many rules, and I always zoned out during flying lessons at Hogwarts.

He crinkled his nose. “I f-failed flying class. The only c-class I ever failed.”

Jon didn’t realize that he was hurtling towards someone before it was too late, and he spilled his own drink—thankfully, just water—all over the front of his own robes. “Ah, sh-shit,” he said, looking up. “I didn’t g-get any on y-you, right?”

Jon grinned as he wrapped his arm around Mary’s waist. “L-Look at that. There’s a l-little bump.” He crinkled his nose. “You have a l-little bump and I c-can see it.”

I don’t actually know anything about Quidditch, I just came for the party.  This is great, though.

Kira liked to see the leaves fluttering in the park. Actually, she just liked to see everything. Her eyes were so wide as she looked around, and Edgar felt his own heart swell with happiness as he watched her staring around with her big eyes, trying to take in everything around her. He was walking them back after a walk around the block when he saw Jon sitting on his front step, and he grinned at him. It was a short, quick half-limp to the stairs, and he hurried towards Jon, putting his hand out to his brother as soon as he was close enough. 

“Welcome back,” he said warmly, knowing that Jon didn’t like to be overwhelmed so only patting Jon on the shoulder before offering him a hand up. “Perfect timing, actually, we just got back from our walk. Kira, love, this is your Uncle Jon. Say hi to Uncle Jon.” Kira made a gurgling noise and giggled, and Edgar grinned down at her like she’d just given a full speech. 

Jon took Edgar’s hand and stood, though his eyes were fixed on the baby in Edgar’s arms. He paused for a moment, tentative, but he slowly reached a hand out to her, and her pudgy fingers wrapped around his own index finger. A grin grew on his features, and for a moment, he forgot the anxieties that had come along with the thought of meeting the baby for the first time. He looked up at Ed. “She looks k-kind of like M-Mum, don’t you t-think?” he asked, barely even thinking about it before looking back down, his thumb gently grazing over the baby’s tiny fingers. “She’s t-tiny.”

“Excellent. Are you feeling refreshed?” 

“Q-Quite. And how a-about you? How a-are you?” The words felt awkward in his mouth. Bitter. He’d been gone for too long.

indogyearsimdeadsirius:

“You disappeared,” he said, as a way of greeting. He said this just as John opened his eyes, which was as soon as he saw him.He was nothing if not overly dramatic. “Quite frankly, I had a few theories and I’m interested in knowing which of them was correct. Were you: dead, missing, or taking a very long nap?” 

“V-Very long nap, o-obviously.”

[jonathanmbones-blog]

Jon didn’t know how to knock on the door—well, he knew how, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. He ended up just sitting on the stoop, his fingers knotted in front of him as he thought about what waited for him inside. A baby—when Ed had said that he was going to have a baby, it was a different thought entirely than Ed saying that he’d had a baby. He wasn’t sure how he felt about it. He was excited, of course, happy for Ed because Ed deserved to be happy, but there was something anxious knotting in his chest and his stomach. The fear that he wouldn’t be enough, the fear that he would never be enough—it could swallow him whole if he wasn’t careful. Looking up as someone walked up, however, it seemed like it would have been useless for him to knock, anyway, as he watched Ed walk up with a baby in his arms. He froze for a moment before giving Ed a tentative smile. “I’m h-home.”
