Iris Marano

With a huff, Iris entered their home and slammed the door shut behind herself. Moving through to the living room, the raven haired beauty then plopped down on the sofa next to her boyfriend. “I’m so fucking sick of people looking at me like I’m going to snap and turn on them. Or like I’m a moron for choosing to change sides.” Resting her head down on his shoulder, Iris then sighed deeply. “I just wish the Order could trust me, and that the Death Eaters could forget about me.” Her heart sank, brows drawing together as she sighed heavily once again.

“That’s a real tragedy.” Andrew held back a smile as he listened to his friend’s complaint. “Did you ask her to remake it?” 

“Don’t be ridiculous, Drew. I asked someone else to.” Iris laughed lightly, hand combing back through her raven locks. “Not a chance would I trust her again after such a fuck up.”

“There’s a new girl working in the cafe and I swear she tried to get away with putting milk in my cup before the tea. Who does that?”

“Until my liver fails, maybe.” Andrew joked with his friend, holding back a laugh as he met her gaze. He watched the raven-haired witch walk around his living room as if she was well at home, which he was happy for, and took the bottle from her. “My pleasure.” He nodded before twisting the cap off the drink, allowing the strong aroma of the alcohol to fill his senses. His appreciation of it almost suggested that he hadn’t already had a drink earlier in the day, and yet that wouldn’t be entirely true. He poured the liquid into both glasses, a bit more than strictly necessary but they weren’t doing pub measurements here, and then placed the bottle on the coffee table. Reaching for one of the glasses, he clinked it on Iris’ before bringing it to his lips and savouring the liquid. “So what brings you to these parts?” He asked with a small smile.

“Muggles have such things as a liver transplant now apparently, once we’ve destroyed this one we can just get you a new one, Violet would never know.” Iris laughed lightly to herself then sent her friend a quick wink. Watching as he poured out the two glasses, the raven haired beauty then accepted her glass and lifted it to her lips, taking a long sip. A content hum passed her lips as the liquid glided down her throat. “Well I definitely didn’t come here to get laid.” She nudged him with her elbow before laughing once again. “I don’t need a reason to visit my best friend, do I?” Iris smiled, eyebrow raising toward him.

Andrew chuckled lightly before shrugging. “I am willing to accept the blame for that.” Truthfully, it was his fault, given that alcohol was playing a crucial factor in his day-to-day life these days. The blond playfully rolled his eyes at her next comment. “As long as my sister doesn’t find out, I’m sure you’ll live.” He returned her wink with one of his own.

Iris shrugged her shoulders then laughed lightly at her friend. “Violet wouldn’t mind, she loves me.” The raven haired young woman sent Andrew another quick wink before laughing lightly as she grabbed two glasses from the cabinet in the center of the room and walked over to the blond, plopping herself down on the sofa next to him. “You can do the honors.” Iris grinned as she passed the bottle toward him.

Spencer found himself rolling his eyes at his friend. “I did tell you not to come.” He replied giving her a point look from his spot next to her on the bed. “I’m just not in the mood for socialising. I still don’t feel brilliant.” It wasn’t exactly a lie, he still wasn’t back to normal. His arm was still in a cast and although his ribs felt better they still caused him a great deal of pain if he moved too quickly. His other arm remained wrapped up, not wanting anyone to see the what had been done to it, and then of course there was the mental scars. Yes, he believed his lie to be plausible. 

Iris nodded slowly in response to Spencer’s statement then pouted her lips ever-so-slightly. “I didn’t think I’d have to do this so soon, but it’s needed.” the raven haired beauty rolled off the side of the bed then grabbed the bottle that poked out of the top of her bag, smiling to herself as she turned back to face Spencer. “Firewhiskey is a natural pain killer you know.” Iris spoke, eyebrow raising - her statement obviously a lie.

“Iris” She drawled out slowly as she playfully scowled at her friend as if she were really annoyed. “He better not. He has his own so he can keep his grubby hands off of mine.” She laughed and shook her head fondly at the thought of her brother. “How are the two of you?” 

As Lucy spoke, Iris couldn’t help but laugh - she loved the relationship the Jones siblings held, it was something to be envied, especially by the raven haired young woman who had been robbed of the chance to hold such a relationship with her half sister. “Well we better get back there quickly then.” Iris laughed once again. A large grin tugged at her lips as Lucy questioned her, her heart swelling as she thought of her boyfriend. “Perfect, just perfect - I’m honestly so glad we reconnected.” She gushed, a light blush creeping over her cheeks. “How are you doing, have you settled in okay?”

Lying on the sofa, Andrew heard the door slam in the hallway. He raised a brow, cocking his head to the side so he could see through the doorway. It didn’t take long after the raven-haired witch appeared and spoke for Andrew’s lips to curve up into a smile. “You know just how to sweeten me up.”

Iris laughed lightly in response to his statement then shrugged her shoulders as she sauntered further into the room. It was nice, seeing him smile - especially after all he had been through. “I feel like this is becoming a habit for us, Drew.” The raven haired young woman said with a slight smile playing on her lips. “I do hope I’m not fueling your addiction.” She spoke, offering him a wink.

Iris hadn’t bothered to knock at the door of the house she knew belonged to Andrew and his younger sister, instead she had let herself in and now stood in the doorway to the living area, peering into the room at the male. “I brought scotch?” The raven haired young woman spoke, the statement seemed more than enough as a greeting.

“So I may sound needy when I say this but I don’t really care.” Iris shrugged her shoulders before turning to her friend, whose bed she was laid on, flat out on her tummy. “I came all this way to see you and I’ve never seen you this moody and I'm going to need you to act a little more like you're happy to see me. Or you could tell me what's wrong?” The raven haired young woman propped her chin in her hands, elbows resting against the mattress beneath her.

Owen fussed over the dog, bringing him close into his chest to give him a belly rub as Iris scratched behind his ears. The male couldn’t help the grin erupting on his face as he looked over at his girlfriend and then back to the dog feeling content with his life. There was things he’d like to change of course, the war being one of them but he wouldn’t change anything about their home life. He loved how both him and Iris could still have a laugh and a smile during such troubling times. The male continued to speak to the puppy as the witch placed a kiss on his cheek, his eyes briefly peering over at her with a smile before resting back on Nugget. He tilted his head smiling at her fondly. “You didn’t have to go to all that trouble babe.” He told her as he followed her into the kitchen with the dog. Owen shook his head as he took in the spread. “Thank you.” He told her reaching over to kiss her again. “I love you.” 

“Don’t be silly, of course I did - I wanted to show you how much I missed you.” Iris admitted with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders as a slight smile graced her painted red lips. Accepting his kiss, she hummed softly against his lips for a moment before leaning back. “I love you.. So damn much.” She laughed, hands moving to cup his cheeks for a moment as she placed her lips back to his for another sweet kiss, one that was interrupted by the tiny pup wriggling between them. “I think someone’s jealous.” Iris mumbled as she broke the kiss and peered down at the puppy.

A laugh fell from the male’s lips as he shook his head smiling fondly at his girlfriend. “And you’re adorable.” He replied pulling her closer to place a kiss on her head as they walked forward, before letting a small gap fall between them again. The wizard slowly brought his cigarette to his parted lips taking one last drag before removing it from his chapped lips and throwing it to the ground. He followed the raven haired female excitedly. A grin made its way to his face as he watched the small puppy run towards them. He couldn’t believe how much he’d grown. “Hello baby. How’s my little boy?” He cooed to the dog crouching down to pick the dog up.  

Iris felt her heart swell in her chest as she watched Owen bend down and scoop the puppy up into his arms. She shook her head at herself - not being able to believe just how besotted she was with the male. As she watched him coo over the dog and listened to the whimpers that spilled from the tiny pup, Iris felt truly happy - it was something that she hadn’t felt for such a long time and she would honestly never tire of the feeling. The smile that laced her boyfriend’s features was probably one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen, Merlin.. She was obsessed with him. Laughing lightly to herself, the raven haired beauty then took a step forward and gave the pup a gentle scratch behind the ears before moving to place her lips to Owen’s cheek, puckering she gave him a gentle kiss before moving away, shutting the door and skipping through into the kitchen where she had prepared a huge set up of all of the male’s favourite things, most of which happened to be homebaked goods. “I know it’s just us two, sorry - three..” She nodded to the pup. “..But I figured I may as well throw you a welcome home party.” Iris winked at the male.

The male didn’t really like crying in front of people but Iris was different, she’d seen him at both his worst and his best. He could be himself around her, so he just let himself break, and let his tears run free knowing he’d feel a little better for it afterwards. Owen cradled his head trying to relief some of the pressure that was building up from his crying. “I just can’t believe she’s dead, she had so much to live for.” 

As she held him, Iris felt the body of her boyfriend shaking with every sob in her grasp. “I know baby, I know..” She spoke softly, her voice soothing as the raven haired female gently cradled him, her hand rubbing over his back gently. “She lives on through the child, Owen.” Iris spoke. Although it sounded impossible, the former Death Eater believed that her words were true and hoped that Owen would too.

He laughed shaking his head fondly at her theatrics, she always managed to bring a smile to his face no matter how he was feeling. He looked down at their entwined hands, glad that he was home, that he was back with her. “Oh now that would just be telling. Some things need to remain a secret otherwise you’ll use those reasons against me.” He teased smirking at her.

Iris pouted, peering toward her boyfriend - though a slight smile played at the corners of her lips. “But Owen..” She moaned, frowning childishly. “You’re the worst.” The raven haired young woman laughed lightly then shook her head as she placed the cigarette between her lips once again, inhaling deeply her eyes closed for a moment before she exhaled, savouring the relief she felt in that moment. She had the man she loved back, safe and sound, only with a few cuts and bruises but there was nothing too drastic, which she was thrilled about. “Come on, let’s go see our little nugget.” Iris smiled, flicking the tab end to the ground, she stood on it then skipped up the steps to their home. Opening the door, she led him inside. “Nugget! Daddy’s home” Her voice echoed through the house and was followed by a gentle pitter patter of tiny feet bounding toward them.
