THE FALCON'S NEST

MacKenzie Sinclair, 21 year old Scottish pureblood, registered falcon animagus, former Ravenclaw seeker, current vice head of the international affairs department for the ministry of magic and lady lover who is currently taken by the beautiful Shaye Skye Huszar (sorry ladies). Just taking life one day at a time.

Santana rolled her eyes are at her completely conceited friend. Although if she were telling the truth Mack’s arms were kind of impressive. Very cut and defined, but not so much that she looked like a walking action figure. Just the perfect amount of strength and softness. 

"Oooooh, so you are keeping things from the love of your life are you? Not a good way to handle a relationship. I think I should tell her about your stash for your own good. You know, just trying to help a friend out," Santana said with a devilish grin. 

[sinclair-heir]

Mack actually threw one of her precious crisps at Santana with a scowl, "Santana I swear by Merlin's great saggy balls that if you rat me out I will tell Brittany about your secret stash of whiskey under the floorboard in your room. Let me have this one thing!" Mack exclaimed while clutching her bag of crisps as if it was her firstborn child. Mack knew it was silly but dammit she loved her salty snacks and she didn't want her girlfriend to throw her stash away again, she had nearly cried the last time.

"We are dating a model and an athlete, neither is going to let us get doughy," Santana said around a mouthful of Cheetos. "Britt would probably make me run around the quidditch pitch promising never to touch ice cream again." Santana knew that Brittany would love her no matter how big or small she was, but it was totally a turn on to see how much her girlfriend currently enjoyed her body. Santana’s abs were one of Brittany’s favorite features and Santana worked out like crazy to keep them. 

"Ewww, your breath smells like feet. I can smell it from here. Why does Skye keep those thing in your flat?"

[sinclair-heir]

Mack giggled before popping a few more crisps in her mouth, "yeah that's true Skye would not be pleased if my abs were to go away or my biceps and would probably take away my sexy time privileges until I got them back." Mack joked before she flexed her arms showing off their defined musculature with a grin. 

Mack smirked before popping a few more into her mouth and breathing heavily in Santana's direction. "Honestly she doesn't know about these babies, she threw out my last three bags so I've taken to hiding them in my stash cabinet that's where I keep all the good stuff as you well know. Lucky for me Skye hasn't found the stash cabinet yet." Mack suddenly sat up a little straighter, "and you had better not tell her about the stash cabinet!" Mack said pointing her finger at her best friend seriously.

[slytherin-snixx]

"Pfft," Santana mocked. "If shit is sexy then yea." Santana rolled her eyes at her friend’s pose. What a dork. She grabbed the bag Mack asked for, and grabbed a bag of Cheetos for herself. It was a junk food kind of night. Santana returned to the living room with the snacks and plopped back down on the couch. She tossed the bag of crisps to Mack, then opened her own. "So basically we are trying to get fat to make our women happy tonight, aren’t we?" Santana said before putting several cheetos in her mouth. 

[sinclair-heir]

Mack blew a raspberry at Santana's back for that comment. Once her friend returned Mack let out a cheer as she caught the bag of crisps. Skye didn't understand Mack's love of both super spicy and or super salty food so usually Mack didn't eat that stuff very often when she was with Skye. As she shoved a handful of the salty crisps in her mouth she realized just how long it had been since she had indulged on these as the salt and vinegar flavor tingled her taste buds.  "Absolutely," Mack said with a thumbs up in the direction of her best friend "I think they'll love our new doughy bodies more to cuddle with right?" Mack joked.

[slytherin-snixx]

Santana caught the pillow and tossed it to the side. “Because it is cheesy and you sound terrible.” At the mention of her own relationship Santana shrugged. “We’re good I guess. I mean, she’s really busy with quidditch and… we’re just readjusting to each other and figuring things out. But we’re okay.” Santana took a sip of her beer, then got up and went back to the kitchen. She needed some more snacks. 

[sinclair-heir]

"Pfft, shows what you know I sound sexy as shit." Mack said striking a pose as she ran her fingers through her hair. Mack nodded, glad to hear everything was still good with her two friends. Both of her friends definitely deserved all the happiness they could get. As Santana headed into the kitchen Mack used a bit of wandless magic to turn on the stereo and as music began to fill the room Mack called out to Santana, "Hey while you're in there grab me that bag of salt and vinegar crisps!" Mack knew she didn't need to tell Santana where she kept her various snacks, they had been friends for so long that they both knew exactly where the other kept their good stuff in their kitchens.

[slytherin-snixx]

"There you go," Santana said raising her beer to her friend, happy that she didn’t look like a long lost puppy anymore. But at the thickening of the accent she rolled her eyes. Santana grabbed another pillow and hurled it at Mack’s head. "But don’t do that," Santana instructed, laughing at how ridiculous Mack could be sometimes. 

[sinclair-heir]

Mack smirked and with a lazy flick of her free hand sent a controlled gust of wind at the pillow sending it right back into Santana's face. "Why though? No woman can resist the accent." Mack said with a playful wiggle of her eyebrows before laughing and taking another sip of her beer. "So since we are talking about love lives, how about yours? How are you and Brittany doing? Have you been able to spend more time with her?" Mack asked curiously.

[sinclair-heir]

Hot wings and the "L" word // Macktana

[slytherin-snixx]

Santana erupted in a hearty laugh as Mack choked on her beer. She should have patted her friend on the back or done anything to help her out, but instead she just laughed. 

When Mack stopped choking and Santana stopped laughing, she took a drink from her beer. She could tell Mack was nervous, but it was obvious to anyone who spent any time with them that Mack and Skye were totally into each other. Skye was a little harder to read than Mack, but Santana was sure that the girl at least cared about Mack a lot. She did have her meet her mother after all. 

"Mack!" Santana said tossing a pillow at her friend to get her out of her head. "Don’t stress it. She isn’t going to freak out or run. She’s into you. I can tell." Santana took another swig of her beer, and boasted a confident smile. 

[sinclair-heir]

Mack swatted at the pillow as it was thrown at her, she stuck her tongue out at her friend but was grateful to Santana for getting her out of her own head. "Yeah, you're right." Mack said with a small crooked grin, Mack briefly looked back on the last time she was with Skye, and the look in her girlfriend's eyes when it was just them, that happy sparkling look that just lit up those eyes that Mack loved so much had to mean that the other girl at least cared a lot about the Scot, she didn't have to worry about scaring her away. "I just need to be confident and everything will be fine." Mack ran her fingers through her hair and allowed a confident smirk to quirk her lips and jokingly allowed her accent to thick, "just gotta turn on that famous Sinclair charm." Mack winked before finishing off her beer and reaching for another, offering Santana another as well.

[slytherin-snixx]

The battle of Macktana waged on for a few more minutes. Santana took every piece of napkin she could find in her hair and returned fire toward Mack, getting some caught in the Ravenclaw’s hair as well. When there was nothing left to throw besides the food or beer, Santana decided they better calm down. 

"Hey, let’s go to your living room," Santana said, grabbing another beer and sliding off the barstool. "Balancing on bar stool is doing nothing for my buzz. I want to lounge around for a bit. This is my first time off in forever." 

Santana plopped down on the couch after kicking off her shoes. “So! When are you going to tell her?” she asked with a sneaky grin on her face.

[sinclair-heir]

Mack laughed and shook the pieces of napkin from her hair as well, using a levitating charm on the platter of wings so she could grab some beers and bring them all to the living room. Mack flopped on the couch next Santana and took a sip of her beer, nearly spitting it back out when Santana asked when she'd be telling Skye about her feelings.

Mack coughed and spluttered but finally she calmed down and sent a glare at Santana. "Soon, our one year anniversary is coming up, I'll probably tell her then." Mack fidgeted with the label on her beer before taking another healthy swig. Mack was confident about a good many things in her life, but telling someone about her true feelings was never easy for her, she was terrified of rejection due in no small part to how her father reacted when she told him about her true feelings about women.

[sinclair-heir]

[slytherin-snixx]

Santana rolled her eyes. When Mack was excited about something, careful was definitely something she was not. She knew Mack meant well, but sometimes her heart led and her brain followed. It could be a dangerous situation if Mack did that with Skye and her mother. 

For two adults Santana and Mack were being anything but mature. Santana made an expression of faux exasperation and shock, then crumbled up her entire napkin and launched it at Mack. It beaned her right upside the head. Santana burst into laughter again. She took a sip of her beer, before taking another napkin and going for a double. 

[sinclair-heir]

Mack knew that she would have to be far more careful than she had been when it came to Skye and her mother, she wouldn't be able to live with herself if her carelessness brought the full wrath of her mother's ire down upon Skye.

After Santana's napkin beaned her in the head Mack slid off her bar stool shifted to the other side of the counter using various bowls, glasses and knickknacks to create a sort of barrier before she returned fire with her own napkin ballistics a few pieces getting caught in Santana's hair and smacking her right between the eyes. Mack proceeded to tag a victory swig from her beer.  "Take that Lopez!"

[slytherin-snixx]

"I’m sure your mom knows about her by now, but knowing of her and having her flaunted in her face are two difference things. Trust me, I know about these things.” A pain hit Santana as she thought of her own forbidden relationship, but she tried not to let it penetrate her too deeply. She was here to focus on Mack and her budding romance with the temptress Skye.  ”Just be careful, that’s all I”m saying, Mack.” Santana took a sip of her beer feeling a little bit bad for her friend. She understood wanting to share her whole life with someone, but sometimes things were just too dangerous.

"Hell yes, it is that obvious that you are in love with her!" Santana flicked a torn piece of napkin at Mack and hit her square in the forehead. This caused Santana to burst out in laughter. 

[sinclair-heir]

Mack sighed heavily and nodded in acknowledgement, Santana certainly knew what she was talking about on that front. She would probably have to be far more careful about when and how she brought Skye to the shire than she had planned to be. Mack smiled slightly, "please San, you know me, careful is my middle name!" She joked before turning serious, "but in all seriousness, I promise to be careful." Mack's countenance became stormy as she continued, "but I will not let my mother dictate who I will be with anymore, I let her do that before and we both know how that turned out." Mack's fist clenched as she thought of Markus.

"Well damn, and here I thought I was being all sneaky and shit with that." Mack said with a slightly embarrassed laugh. Mack blinked rapidly and looked down at the piece of napkin that had fallen into her lap after smacking her right in the head. She then looked at Santana, the epitome of calm. "You do realize Lopez that this means war." Mack then took her own napkin and ripped off a piece and flicked it back at her friend where it hit her right on the nose, and Mack threw her arms up in victory.

[sinclair-heir]

I turn 21 today!

I got the whole day off from work so that means I have a three day weekend to celebrate! I can't wait to spend it with my girl.

[sinclair-heir]

Hot wings and the "L" word // Macktana

[slytherin-snixx]

Mack didn’t have to say the words (although she later did), it was obvious to Santana by the way she spoke about Skye, and their trip together that mack at completely fallen in love with her. Mack was halfway through her gondola story when Santana had decided she was going to smack Mack in the back of her head and lay it out for her if she hadn’t realized it already. Good thing for Mack (but sad for Santana since she enjoyed popping her friend), Mack had come to the realization as well. This.Was.Huge! Mack was a really sweet person and all that, but when it came to being in long term relationships with the ladies she hadn’t had the best luck. Then again, it wasn’t like she always tried that hard either. But this thing with Skye seemed different and Santana could tell. Mack sparkled when she talked about Skye, and couldn’t even say her name without smiling. Seriously, each time she said it, Mack was smiling. It was so goofy, and obvious that she didn’t realize she was doing it, that Santana felt like popping her for being such a head-over-heels in love dork. 

Santana’s eyes went so wide she felt like her optic nerves were going to dry out. Mack was going to take Skye to the shire?! WHAT?!

"WHAT?!" Santana exclaimed, hardly believing her ears. Okay, so Mack was in love, great. But the shire? The place where Mack grew up? How was that going to play with the rest of the Sinclair family? 

"Oh, please it is so obvious you are in love with her," Santana said waving her hand dismissively, because seriously if anyone saw Mack speak about Skye they would know instantly. "That’s not the part I am freaking out about over here. That is not the part that almost had me knock over my beer." She had caught it at the last second, before it tipped over the edge of the counter. "You are really going to bring her to your family’s land? How the fuckdo you plan on doing that?"

[sinclair-heir]

Mack jumped, nearly falling out of her seat when Santana shouted. Mack rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly, was it really so obvious that she was in love with Skye? Does that mean Skye knew? If she did know did she feel the same way? Before she could get lost in her thoughts Santana went on to point out the very big road block with her plans. Her family.

Mack sighed, "I want to share everything with her San, I don't want to hide anything from her, and the Shire is so much a part of me that if I don't show her it feels like I'm hiding a very important part of myself from her." Mack took another sip of her beer before continuing, "besides do you honestly think my mother doesn't know about Skye by now?" Mack asked with a roll of her eyes. "But I'm not suicidal I don't plan on bringing her when my Mother is actually at home and you know Andrea and Ardan doesn't care."

Mack looked down, "Skye knows that there are some things about me and about my life, that I can't tell her about because it would be dangerous for her to know. She has accepted that, but that's why I want to share as much as I can with her you know?" Mack looked up with a sheepish smile, "But is it really that obvious that I'm in love with her?"

[slytherin-snixx]

"Brittany won’t let me use sleeping potions either," Santana said rolling her eyes, but not at all being annoyed with Brittany. She loved having her niece and nephew around, and watching Brittany with them was like a glimpse into a future so wished she had. 

Santana cracked up laughing at Mack’s blush. “Knew it. That girl wrapped completely around her Ravenclaw. She has you meeting her mother now? Wow, this is serious.” Santana leaned in closer on the counter, making sure she could hear every detail of this trip to Milan. It was not like Mack to be getting so serious about a person so fast. “What happened? You’re here and you look okay, so I guess she didn’t try to banish or hex you. What do you think? Is Skye trying to lock you into something permanent? Give me the details, Sinclair!”

[sinclair-heir]

Mack ran a hand through her long mahogany locks letting out a long breath before taking a long pull from her beer. Setting the bottle down she turned fully towards her friend and launched into all the details of her and her girlfriend's trip to Milan. Everything from the trip to the Institute for the blind to the special lunch she had surprise lunch she had set up for Skye, then the dinner they'd had with Skye's mother, the gala where she had been happy to play the role of arm candy for Skye and watch Skye thrive in her element and getting to dance with her for most of the night. She went on to describe the shopping trips they had gone on, the romantic gondola rides at night, and how they had completely geeked out together over the historic sights both muggle and magical.

She talked about how Skye had shown her all the best spots in Milan as well as the little spots that were truly diamonds in the ruff. As she finished Mack looked Santana straight in the eye, "San, since I first saw her again in the Black Cat I've felt a...connection with her, similar to the way you described how you felt when you first saw Britt all the way back when on the Hogwarts express. It's so...easy being with her, I mean we fight and argue but when we do it never feels like it would affect our relationship." Mack bit her lip before continuing, "I'm going to show her the Shire San, all the secret places there, the places where you can feel the ancient magic in the air and the earth." Mack took a deep, shaky breath and looked away before meeting her best friend's eyes again, "San I think...I think I may have fallen in love with her." 

[sinclair-heir]

[slytherin-snixx]

Santana belched like a dude, and totally didn’t care because it as just Mack. She had done worse in front of the girl before. Santana took a sip of her beer and shrugged her shoulders. “Just keeping busy. Nothing totally interesting. Getting ready for Quinn’s wedding, working, watching my niece and nephew periodically, that’s it.” Santana took another sip. “When the kids come over, Brittany is a fucking angel. She can get Melie to listen when no one else can. I was going to bind her to a chair, but Brittany said that would be cruel. Eh.” Santana raised her arms, and shrugged again in indifference. “So what has been up with you? I’m surprised you had time to crawl from under Skye, and see me. That girl has you wrapped around her fingers.” 

[sinclair-heir]

Mack cracked up at Santana's belch like a thirteen year old boy, "Nice one San." Mack nodded as Santana listed what had been keeping her so busy, "yeah Britt is pretty great with kids," Mack snorted at Santana wanting to bind her niece to a chair. "Yeeeahh I think Britt's right on that one, though I can definitely sympathize. Last week I had to watch my youngest cousin Arelia who's three and she was a tiny hellion I'm not entirely sure how I got through that day without slipping a sleeping potion in her juice but I did."

Mack just barely contained the slight blush that wanted to rise to her cheeks but she could do nothing about the goofy grin that spread across her lips as Santana mentioned Skye. "Well...things have been getting pretty serious with Skye, you know when we were in Milan we had dinner with her mother." Mack said knowing that Santana would understand how big a step it was that she was meeting Skye's mother.

[sinclair-heir]

[slytherin-snixx]

Santana brushed the dust off of her clothes as she stepped out of the fire place. She detested flooing places. It always dirtied her clothes, and had her smelling like a forest fire. However, it seemed that Mack preferred she do that, than apparating into the middle of her living room unannounced, so she complied. 

"Eww gross, get away," Santana said shooing the large dogs that lived with Mack. Although Santana lived with a practical zoo thanks to Brittany, she still didn’t like other people’s pets jumping all over her. 

"Hi, yea, it’s been, like, forever. But don’t think it is just you, I’ve barely even seen my girlfriend these days." Santana eyed the plate of wings and her stomach began to grumble. She laughed putting her hand over her stomach. "Guess I am hungrier than I thought. Lead the way, and let’s get this girl’s night started." 

When the ladies settled into the kitchen, Santana immediately picked up a wing and took a bite. “Hmmm,” she happily hummed. “I haven’t had one of these so long.” 

[sinclair-heir]

Mack laughed as Santana's stomach growled loud enough for them both to hear. "I guess you are, come on let's go get some food in your belly."

Mack gave a hum in agreement with Santana, "same here, I rarely ever make 'em except when its just you and me, considering no one else can apparently handle the spicyness." After they had both devoured about half of the hotwings Mack took a sip of her beer and leaned forward on the counter they were both leaning on. "So San what have you been up to lately? Anything really interesting happen that I should know about?" Mack asked with a grin.

[sinclair-heir]

Hot wings and the "L" word // Macktana

Mack was finishing laying out the hot wings on a massive platter when she heard the tell tale whoosh of her best friend flooing in. Mack grinned as she grabbed the platter, heading towards the sounds of her two pups greeting their "auntie Santana." She had a lot of catching up to do with Santana and she had a lot to tell her about the trip to Milan she and Skye had made. She also needed some advice on what to do when it came to these intense feelings she was having for Skye, especially since the "L" word may be used to describe those feelings.

As Mack came around the corner she grinned, "Hey San it's been way too long, we've gotta stop going so long without hanging out, beer is in the living room, still nice and cold, and these bad boys are ready to be devoured." Mack said with a motion towards the platter she held with their extra spicy wings.

When I Met Your Mother

Skye laughed as Mack spun her. She had so much fun with her girlfriend just walking down the street. She liked the ease they had with each other, and how each complemented the other.

Warmth spread throughout Skye’s body as she recognized that look Mack was giving her. “What plans are those?” Skye asked looking at Mack in an equally enticing manner.

[sinclair-heir]

Mack smiled wickedly and brought Skye's hand to her lips and pressed a lingering kiss to the soft skin there. "Oh love you should know by now that I never tell you my special plans because it is far more fun to simply...show you." Mack then pulled Skye through the doors of the hotel, beyond ready to finally be alone with her girlfriend in the privacy of their hotel room.

[sinclair-heir]

When I Met Your Mother

[theshayeskye-blog-blog]

"Oh, she was just going easy on you. Stick around a little longer, and you will see her talons!" Skye joked.

"Good." Skye liked the fact that Mack accepted her for who she was. Sometimes she got herself into a little trouble, but overall she was a good person. Skye had been hesitant to invite Mack to hang out with her and her friends, but Mack had been saying all the right things to make Skye think she could handle it. But since Lillian was apart of that group, she had to be sure that things were okay with Mack and Lillian before that ever happened.  Skye, Lillian, and Taylor were a pretty tight group, and Skye really wanted Mack to be apart of it. Even if Mack couldn’t fully integrate into the group, she still wanted to be able to have her girlfriend and her friends around at the same time.

Skye swung their hands playfully as they walked. “I’m looking forward to dancing with you, too. I totally get to show off my moves in evening wear.” Skye did a little dance just to prove her point.

[sinclair-heir]

"Oh I have no doubt that she has talons." Mack said with a laugh.

Mack grinned and took Skye's hand, giving her a little spin. "Very impressive love, I'm sure you'll make everyone there completely jealous that they can't move like that in evening wear."

Finally they arrived back at their hotel and Mack gave Skye a lidded look, linking their fingers together a bit tighter and pulling her girlfriend close, "Now I have plans for you darling." Mack purred softly.
