Slight Author's Note:

The song -Welcome to Avenue Q- mentioned in this chapter is from Avenue Q, a broadway show that has been giving glee to various audiences for many years now. As of my statement over Harry Potter and Fake, I do not own, make money, profit in any way on this song. I am simply using it as a device for my story.

-Welcome, to Avenue Q!- the members of the two Katas who had been thrown into this arrangement of supposed -amusement- sang together as the ones who could, made physical points of pounding the nearest objects and the ones who couldn't...let the shrieks ring out through Silence, causing a few winces.

That could be why there was an insistence of a pause after those final words of the song...

Or it could be to return to who they were. To creep out from their hiding place behind the characters they had just portrayed and become...them again.

With all their problems.

Though there were cases when one of them decided…

Well, Amy wouldn’t put it past them.

There were times when certain Males thought it would be funny to do so.

-Fucking Hell- muttered Bill –How long has it bloody been since we’ve managed to do that-

-Too long- said Oli, with a weak chuckle –Elders are being particular nosy, just in case we do something that they might constitute as causing trouble-

Snorts.

-They believe that everything we do is for that purpose- muttered Bill.

‘That’s because you were the one who declared to Professor Minerva McGonegall that it was no big deal that the Elders had to add restrictions and actually announce that all students were banned from that part of The Forbidden Forest,’ murmured Amy, rolling her eyes.

It wasn’t just the trail of destruction from what was now a clearing in the Forbidden Forest to a small trail that broke out near the greenhouses on the side of Hogwarts. Or the fact that for many months, the creatures of the Forbidden Forest had refused to cross that path, not that any of them ever really moved that close to the boundaries of the forest in the first place. But still…

None of the creatures had been very pleased about having such restrictions on what they considered to be theirs.

But it was the way how Bill had phrased it. He had never been adept at terming anything that would not get a rise from the one he was speaking to. Never had. Not before Back Then. Not during. And certainly not after Back Then.

And the forced parting of what used to be made Bill… become even worse.

He had hardened.

He had become…prickly.

His tolerance level had become…barely there.

It could be anything, the smallest of things, and Bill… would blow up.

Not that the rest of the Kata didn’t have very little patience for the Elders. The Elders’ betrayel… The Elders’ decision to take matters into their own hands when the Kata were not able to protest, left the Members of the Weasley Kata… with a very fowl taste in their mouth.

And even after all these years… it was still there.

-Because it was the truth- said Bill –It was not that big of a deal. The Elders were completely out of line, arguing that it had been all of our fault that that part of the Forbidden Forest had been blown up-

-Dear me- said Penny –is there anything that all of you will not blow up?-

-We don’t blow up everything- said Bill, and Amy could almost sense Bill’s childish –don’t make me admit that I am in any way wrong-.

-Uh-huh- said Penny –so you are refusing to remember the entire incident of the Forbidden Forest? The one where you managed to piss of the creatures of the Forbidden Forest?-

-Already told you that we never claimed that we didn’t have a little incident in the Forbidden Forest- muttered Bill.

-Hardly little- hissed Anto, and Amy could just picture Anto rolling his eyes.

-Or the time when the Slytherins couldn’t gain access to their own Common Room- added on Penny, a long suffering tone entering in.

Completely put on, as Penny had certainly nearly laughed her head off. Amy had only believed that Penny wasn’t rolling on the floor was because Brian was holding onto her. As hard as he could, as he certainly wasn’t going to let her go after just managing to get his hands back on her again.

He had snuck back into the United Kingdom only a few days before.

-That had nothing to do with anything being blown up!- said Bill hotly.

Penny snorted.

-I’m not talking about when the lot of you decided to sabatoge the corridor, in both directions- she said –and make it that no one could successfully navigate to the entrance on their own two feet-

-There are quite a few problems you’ve caused to the area around the Slytherin Common Room- spoke up Anto.

-Me?- said Bill –Are you really trying to excuse yourself from all of it?-

-I’m not the one who tried to convince the rest of the Kata that it would be a good idea to see if a wash the Muggle way would be good for our –lovely- Potions Professor- said Anto.

-There was no tried in that at all!- muttered Charlie –We did it!-

-Why in Merlin’s name are you getting so uptight about it now?- said Bill –You weren’t protesting that much when we were planning it!-

-I was plenty protesting!- said Charlie.

-And you were the one who Apparated to the nearest Muggle village to find that washing powder!- added Bill.

A chuckle escaped from Amy’s lips.

Yes, Bill certainly didn’t like it, all of a sudden, be insinuated that it was all of his idea about the entire incident that had near –drowning- of Professor Severus Snape. Or at least, that’s what Professor Minerva McGonegall had screamed as Professor Albus Dumbledore had looked at them with his sad, disappointed blue eyes.

Well, Bill wouldn’t have minded if it had turned out to work completely. It was a good idea. A very good idea in his opinion.

And every single Member of the Kata had thought the exact same way.

But the backlash from the Elders…

The amount of Detention the Kata had been on the receiving end of had made Bill think otherwise by the end of it all.

It had made all of them think that.

-Can’t bloody believe you haven’t told any of us exactly how you managed all of that- muttered Penny.

Oli snorted.

-Now you decide that you do want to know about the inner goings on with our Kata?- said Oli –I thought after our last prank, in which you did play a part after yourself and Cedric insisted on having some fun, you didn’t want to know?-

Yes.

That was mean. But what else did Penny expect when she had walked right into that one? The Members of the Black Rose Kata didn’t always play a part in the Winter Pranks carried out by the Weasley Kata. Most of the time they did. During the times when all of the Black Rose Members were Students at Hogwarts, or else Lodged there, the two Katas worked together to cause complete trouble.

But after Adam had Passed On, and Brian, Josh, Bill and Charlie had Graduated…

Well, they had trailed their pranks a bit. Not as many played.

And Penny, without the direct influence of Josh and Brian, had…also lost so much interest in such things.

-Only reason she’s getting herself into such a tizz is because McGonegall nearly managed to get enough evidence against her and Cedric- said Bill –and –they- nearly had to serve the same Detention as us-

Penny snorted.

-If we had played a big enough part in the prank we would have of course stood up beside you- said Penny.

-Well don’t think that you are beyond their suspicion yet- said Oli –They’re still wondering about where the bottle of Baileys came from-

-The Baileys?- said Charlie –Exactly why would that be the one thing that would catch their attention?-

-Got no bloody clue- said Oli –but I overheard Professor Minerva McGonegall nattering on about it with Professor Elyrissa Sprout-

-Still seems strange- said Charlie –out of everything. Not as if it’s hard to get your hands on a bottle of Baileys or that we’re not of age to be able to buy it-

-Not as if we stole it from anyone’s house- muttered Oli –but to hear those Elders…-

-Maybe they think we did?- said Anto with a sigh.

-From who’s house?- said Charlie –None of the Elders have anything stronger than Elderberry wine kept in their cupboards-

-True- whispered Bill, his voice heavier –Nothing ever stronger. Keep to the vow, even during this supposed Time of Peace-

A sniff from someone.

And then silence.

Almost stifling, but…

It was only the Others who believed that this was a Time of Peace. The only ones who could fool themselves into thinking that the First War was over and that the Second War… would never happen.

It were the Members of the Resistances who knew otherwise. The ones who took as much advantage as they could of this time when there were less skirmishes and dark –troubles- for them to worry about.

And the ones who knew that despite all of this, they still had to keep their eyes wide open. That they couldn’t let their guard down and therefore… couldn’t allow themselves to have any of their senses dulled in any way.

And therefore…no drink.

Elderberry wine was… the closest they ever came. And even then, there were only allowed a few sips and only under circumstances… that were very special.

Amy couldn’t remember the last time she had been allowed to have a sip. As her Public Persona was only seventeen, she was encouraged…to not drink. And it wasn’t as if Amy ever did it privately, even if was with her own Kata.

During those times, Amy preferred tea, a soft drink or… else her own special concoction of hot chocolate.

It was all those years ago, during Back Then, when Amy had…

She didn’t have a definite date. Or even a definite event of the last time alcohol had crossed her palate. But there had to be one, as the Males of their Old Pack…

They liked disobeying the rules every now and then. Even serious ones where none of them could chance taking such leave of the senses that kept them alive. But for the Males…

During the arrival of the First Litter of Pups for the Old Pack.

On the day when Frank Longbottom finally exchanged Vows with Alice Spinnet.

The Second Litter.

Amy sighed.

But they didn’t have such moments to celebrate about now.

No such joyous occasions happened to this Kata.

Bill and Charlie drank the Elderberry wine every now and then. When their Public Personnas insisted upon it, the two took in the required one wine glass.

-Would have thought they would have been more concerned about where we managed to get the little bottle from?- muttered Charlie.

Bill snorted.

-That’s easy enough- he said –Amy-

-Yes- said Charlie –Maybe. But the Elders have Banned Amy from having any such little potions in her possession. Just in case she gets any little ideas-

-It wasn’t a little idea- growled Amy, rolling her eyes –If I truly had wanted to kill that stupid Lapdog, I would have used something much stronger and dangerous in his Vodka-

Bill laughed.

-As if you’d ever allow any of them to die like that- he said –One where you can’t be the one who physically kills him. Dying from poison would not be satisfactory enough for you-

Amy snorted.

‘Certainly not,’ she hissed.

-You are much more likely- said Oli –as you told the Elders, rip out his guts, stamp on them for a bit and then throw him into the nearest clearing to be finished by the animals there-

-And exactly how did the Elders take that?- said Penny.

-Very badly- said Anto –as you can imagine-

-They didn’t see the funny side of it- added Oli.

-Can you blame them?- said Anto.

-Well- said Oli –Amy was only telling the truth. Just like when she argued with the Elders that as she wouldn’t have that bottle of potion in her possession-

-Only because she –borrowed- it from Snape’s storeroom- said Bill.

Amy rolled her eyes again.

‘Bill,’ she said. ‘How many times do I have to tell you? It’s impossible for me to borrow it when I am using all of it. It’s not as if he’s going to get the liquid that was in that bottle back.’

-You returned the bottle didn’t you?- said bill.

Amy sighed.

‘Yes,’ she said. ‘Yes. I did. I cleaned it completely and put it back in his box for empty potion bottles.’

-Therefore he got it back- said Bill –You borrowed it-

‘He didn’t get the potion back,’ said Amy.

-Oh, for the love of…- said Bill –Amy, if you are feeling so badly about it, though Merlin knows why, then when you can, send him a new bottle filled with that potion to him-

‘Wouldn’t say I felt bad about it,’ said Amy. ‘No reason to.’

Bill snorted.

-Exactly- he said.

‘But I’d prefer to not let him have anything over me,’ said Amy. ‘Therefore I will give him a new one.’

-For Merlin’s sake, why?- said Bill.

‘Because he knows,’ said Amy.

-He has suspicions, Ami- said Bill.

‘He knows, Bill,’ said Amy. ‘And I am not letting him think that he can use this for his own gain.’

-He won’t be able to- said Bill.

‘Bill!’ snapped Amy. ‘This is Severus Snape. A Servant. A Servant of the Inner Circle and he has brains!’

-I am not letting him- began Bill.

‘There is nothing that you need to do!’ said Amy. ‘I can handle this. Without causing a big scene!’

-I won’t be causing a big scene- said Bill –Nothing that anyone can lead back to me. But Snape will know that he can’t try something like that again-

‘I don’t need for anyone else to do something for me,’ said Amy. ‘I can handle this! All I need to do is return a bottle of the potion and then we are both square.’

Bill snorted.

-I don’t see why you won’t deal with Snape the same way you deal with the rest of the Servants- he said.

‘Because there are better ways to deal with him than threats all the time,’ said Amy.

Bill snorted again.

-He’s a Servant- Bill snapped –They don’t understand anything else-

Amy sighed.

Yes.

Severus Snape was a Dark One. A Servant. And one that was treated by Members of the Resistances with physical and word threats.

That was what had been proven beforehand as a good way to keep the Servants from gaining the upper hand on any of them.

But Severus Snape was… different.

That was not how Amy needed to make sure that Severus Snape didn’t gain anything on her. Or at least, anything that would result in her being killed or badly wounded by other Servants.

He did push Amy to the edge. He did place her in situations where Amy was fighting for her freedom again, but Amy knew…

Severus Snape had to do it. He had to, as otherwise…

His secret would be discovered.

And a Source Amy used in order to keep everyone she cared about alive and well… would be lost.

It was just that Amy couldn’t let anyone else know that, other that the few Elders who were privy to the fact of Severus Snape’s true allegiance. Her own Kata didn’t, and therefore…

Amy was forced to run interference between them. She always tried to insist on being the one to deal with Severus Snape, so that at least there was a little… bit of a boundary between the two.

She just had to make sure that none of her Kata, or their Allies, or the Elders who didn’t know this, never figured it out. Had to be so bloody careful.

‘Bill,’ said Amy, taking a deep breath before she carried on. ‘I am the one who has to directly deal with him, and as we previously agreed, I will be the one who will use my own way to keep him from trying anything further.’

-We need to change that- said Bill.

‘There is no reason to,’ snapped Amy.

Gripping her teeth, Amy ran her hand through her hair. And to make matters worse, one of her nails managed to neatly catch on a clump of her hair, and pull it out of the neat bun she kept her hair in. Even when she wasn’t expected to make any Public Appearences.

It was just… the usual hairstyle she now chose. Even when she didn’t need to.

She hissed, giving a tug of her hand and managing to yank more of her hair out in the process.

Fuck.

It took the steady hand of the other one to successfully untangle the strands of hair cut. Bit by bit pulling it free, and then… breathing a sigh of annoyance when she realised her hairstyle was now in tatters.

This time giving tugs in the needed areas, Amy’s hair fell loose and tumbled down over her shoulders, along her back and piling into several folds against the mattress beneath her.

Amy sighed again.

Her hair was a mess. And not only due to the amount of charms she had had to place on it to hide the little tell-tale signs of who she really was.

There was nothing that could be done about the amount of times she had come into contact with silver. There was no way for her to –wish- it away or anything.

And so she was forced to have multiple charms on her hair to hide the strands of silver (a natural reaction of a Wolves’ hair at the body being exposed to it). Make it look as though it was generally one colour, whether it was up or down.

And her hair always being kept up was to hide another thing.

-There are more than one reason to- said Bill.

Amy sighed.

‘Bill,’ she said.

-Such as the fact that you are our Female- said Bill.

‘Alpha Female,’ interrupted Amy.

They always seemed to forget about that.

There was a reason why she was Alpha Female and part of that was because she was –strong- enough to keep the rest of the Pack in line. Along with, in many cases, anyone who might try to harm them.

But for the Males…

-Still our Female- said Bill –and as such, you are to ask for help when you need it-

‘And I don’t,’ said Amy. ‘I don’t –need- your help when dealing with Severus Snape!’

-He’s a Servant- said Bill –And a Servant that you are in constant contact with because you are a Student at Hogwarts and for some reason, the Elders decided to –allow- that Dark One to be a professor there-

‘I don’t go looking for him,’ said Amy. ‘And he certainly doesn’t try to be anywhere near me as much as possible.’

-If he can get a rise from you and make it so that the Servants have an opportunity to get you in trouble- said Bill –he will-

‘Bill,’ said Amy. ‘Severus Snape knows exactly what I will do to him if he tries anything. And you know just as well, because you have been present during some of our arguments.’

-You are hardly in a position to be able to use what you know works on Severus Snape now- said Bill –You causing a disturbance and the pair of you fight it out in a room won’t keep in line-

Amy snorted.

No.

But that was because there had been an understanding made between the two of them. The anger and resentment between the two of them, before Amy had travelled to Back Then, had faded away when Amy had met with the younger Severus Snape and the two…

Severus Snape had become a Servant not only because he wanted to fit in, but also because…

Well, there were many reasons, weren’t there? The two of them were in the same situation, not under the same circumstances, but enough that a kind of Truce had been made between them. They understood each other. Understood why they were each there.

And this had carried on when Amy had returned from Back Then. She had, of course, carried on getting into arguments with Severus Snape in order to protect what Severus Snape’s allegiances really were. Made sure that everyone who knew her from before, still believed that she hated Severus Snape’s guts and that the pair of them couldn’t be left in the same room together without some kind of argument erupting.

And making sure that it was varied enough (as in, not always about Potions) that no one was suspicious.

Amy sighed.

Yes.

And so she had to return to that.

‘And I have other methods to use against Severus Snape,’ said Amy. ‘I do not need to depend on that.’

-It’s still too much for you to be under- said Bill.

Oh, for the love of…

‘Will you please let me decide what I can handle?’ said Amy, ‘and what I can’t?’

-No- said Bill –because when you do need help, you never ask for it-

Closing her eyes, Amy let a hiss of breath escape through clenched teeth.

For how many years had the Kata been arguing about this? How long had the Old Pack?

Despite what Amy knew and what she told them, the Members of her Kata and her Old Pack still insisted that whenever Amy had a problem, even if it was the smallest one, that she had to go running to them for help. That she wasn’t allowed to try…

Was it worth it trying to go through it all again? All it ended with, each and every time, was Amy and the Males losing their tempers with each other, and the need to avoid the other side for quite some time.

No.

It wasn’t.

So… It was up to Amy to diffuse it. And the only way to do that was to…

Shit.

-All quiet in the various households we are in?- cut in the voice of Cedric.

Amy’s head slightly jerked, and then she softly laughed.

Well, that was a relief.

And she certainly wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. She was giving a small reprieve and Merlin damn it, she was taking it.

‘Hello Cedric,’ she said softly. ‘Finally managed to get away?’

As in, finally managed to get away from the rest of his so-called family (Cedric only termed them as family as his parents had been the ones who had given him the DNA he had, and the other members of the Diggory family were related to those parents).

-Most of them are passed out in the front room- said Cedric –though a supposed uncle is talking to Amos Diggory about nonsensical Ministry policies-

-Same old same old?- said Charlie.

Cedric snorted.

-Pretty much- he said –There haven’t been any new ones-

And that was one thing that Cedric could be pretty sure of. If a new policy was passed through The Ministry, then along with all the other Spies within it, Cedric would know about it. He was quite good at riffling through any parchments in Amos Diggory’s possession, and whenever either of the Katas were doing one of their raids on The Ministry, then Cedric was another good choice.

It was always two out of Cedric, Amy and/or Anto.

-Have they figured out yet that they are missing that report on the bust up in Asda?- said Bill.

-You mean the one on Old Kent Road?- said Charlie.

-Yeah- said Bill –That one. Can’t believe they actually noticed that one. It was only a seven year old girl-

Oli snorted.

-Yeah- he said –but she was a Young One of a Passed On Resistance Member. Once they realised that…-

The sparks had flown. And several other Members of the Resistances had had to come to the aid of the seven year old girl and her Guardian (a nice Muggle who had known the Truth of the War and had played a part in it).

It had been quite a –loud- and –exciting- time at The Ministry during those few weeks when the New Idiot and his Lapdogs had tried to protest that they had every right to re-home the girl for her own safety. As the Members of the Resistances had pointed out, it was only Accidental Magic due to her age.

Wasn’t as if her Guardian couldn’t look after her just because she was a Muggle.

But of course, the New Idiot and his Lapdogs saw the chance. They saw a way of getting a Young One from the Resistance Members and –re-habilitating- it as they saw it.

Or as the Members of the Resistances knew it was… making it so that the Young One didn’t know the truth and became nothing more than a brain-dead sheep Follower to The Ministry.

As if that would be allowed.

Amy snorted.

Never.

-So- said Penny, with a small dry laugh –What do you want to do now? You’ve just spent an entire day with the Diggory family and for relaxation…?-

Charlie snorted.

-Cedric’s been stuck with them since Hogwarts broke for the Winter Holidays- said Oli.

Amy rolled her eyes, despite the fact that she knew none of them could see it.

‘Yes,’ she said, ‘but this is his first full day. Before he could always just drift away for some time to himself if he wanted to.’

The low laugh of Bill.

-So that’s what you are calling it now?- he said –Time to himself?-

Amy bit her bottom lip.

Ah, so now he decided that it was all right to make fun of that? True, he always did that against anyone of the Kata or their Allies who made such an innocent remark that could so easily be twisted, but when it was her…?

He was usually quite careful over it.

And yet he had.

So maybe…?

Maybe he was trying to make a little push in having her be more comfortable with such things? Decided as a way to –show- that not only did he trust her, but he also… wanted to move the relationship further again.

There had been a lot of progress during Back Then. It was impossible for it to not happen, what with two certain Members of that Pack who… pushed the envelope continuously. And though they had toned it down for her, it was still…

She had lost that once they had returned from Back Then. The loss of the Pack had crippled her more than the departure of all Members of the Pack, but also the security it gave her.

The confidence.

‘You know full well that wasn’t what I meant,’ Amy said. ‘So stop putting your own urges into my words.’

-My own urges?- repeated Bill, and she could hear the laughter breaking into every single one of his words.

‘Yes,’ said Amy. ‘Yours. No need to imply that any time one has available to them should be spent doing that.’

A small pause.

Amy could almost feel their surprise in the Connections of Silence between them. And their slight…inability at that moment to be able to process how to respond to it.

-Ami- said Bill, his voice slightly strange but Amy attributed that completely to Amy actually –teasing- back over what Bill had said previously –I use my own times to myself constructedly-

Amy took in a deep breath.

He was trying.

He was actually trying to help her… get over that initial bump when her Own Self was trying to hold her back from being so…open. She just had to…

Amy bit her lip.

She could do this.

She could.

There were only her own Kata and their Allies present. No one else.

And none of them would laugh at her attempts.

She knew that. Privately and all.

And all she had to do…

‘Surprised you have enough time to manage that,’ said Amy, shutting her eyes as if that would be enough to give her the courage she needed to get through this conversation. ‘And I’ve warned you before about keeping Charlie from his work.’

Another pause.

Not strained or one full of surprise. One more that was…filled with complete astonishment.

Amy bit her bottom lip harder.

Had she gone too far?

Had she misread the signals and…? But it felt as though she was sending back the same kind of biting reply that was usually tossed back and forth between the Kanzai.

But maybe…

-I’ve already made it quite clear the list of priorities in my life, Ami- said Charlie –Bill already knows that the dragons come first-

-Oi!- said Bill –Ya bloody wanker!-

The sound of an aggrevated put upon sigh.

-Bill?- said Charlie –do I have to go through the entire list all over again?-

Bill snorted.

-I’ve warned you before about putting those dragons before me- he said.

Laughter from Oli and Anto.

-So that entire incident involving the dragon that was –saved- from the Dark Ones has completely disappeared from your memory?- spoke up Oli –completely?-

Amy joined in to their chuckles.

See, this? She could do this. She could start something and then lean back and watch as it all unfolded. Only have to do small contributions every now and then.

She was comfortable about that.

She just hoped…

She hoped that they would allow her to join back in when she was ready to, not when they wanted her to.

She had been pushed into this topic of conversation. And she had allowed herself to be. But now…

Now she wanted leeway.

No more pushing.

-I still don’t fucking get that- said Bill –Those dragons are not more important than me-

-Slightly pig-headed of you, isn’t that?- said Oli.

Bill snorted.

-No- he said –not when it comes between dragons and me-

Even more laughter, though this time it was from Charlie.

-Bill just doesn’t like it when more attention is paid to another creature that has a fixation on gold- he said.

-Oh fuck off, Ripple- said Bill –You told me all those tales about dragons hoarding gold was complete hogwash. That they didn’t have the magpie instinct-

Slight in-drawn breath at Bill’s mishap, even though…

It wasn’t as if anyone who would notice the sudden change in Charlie’s Shifter Name was listening. Or wonder about it.

It was one of the points of when the entire Weasley Kata was Back Then that had been relayed on to the Black Rose Kata. The New Shifter Names they had adopted.

And they did try to keep to the ones they had been given when they were the Weasley Kata. In Public and in Private. Just in case.

And it was those kind of continuous rules that kept them alive.

Kept from the Secret being found out at the wrong moment and…

Bloody fucking Curse and its…restrictions.

-I was speaking more on the need to have nice things, Bill- said Charlie.

-The magpie instinct- said Bill.

-No- said Charlie –the need to be all glittery and pretty-

-You calling me pretty like I’m some bloody- began Bill.

-I’m talking about that earring of yours- said Charlie –along with the shiny leather pants… It’s as if you are trying to bring the fashion sense of a 16^th Century pirate back into trend or something-

And undeniably, followed by a roll of his eyes.

-I wear what I am comfortable in!- said Bill.

-So you are a fan of chaffing?- said Charlie.

Choked laughter from everyone else.

Oh…poor Bill.

But he had walked right into that.

-No!- roared Bill.

And as the chuckles filled through each of their minds, a little thought…knocked at Amy’s mind.

Maybe… Maybe she could…

Amy swallowed.

‘Bill,’ Amy said quietly, ‘I’ve told you to stop taking up so much of Charlie’s time due to your own foolishness.’

A sudden break in all of the laughter.

Amy felt her body shrink in itself as she waited. As she waited to see…

-You, my dear little Ami- said Bill, as he gave his own soft chuckles –You, my Ami…-

-Ami- said Charlie –And I’ve told you many times to not to break Bill. Takes weeks to get him back to being cocky all over again. Not that he doesn’t need that every now and then-

-Fuck off, Charlie- said Bill –Keep this up and we won’t get to see her-

Charlie’s laughter turned even more un-controlled.

-Is that what you were trying to say?- he said.

-I said fuck off, Charlie!- said Bill.

-Overcome with the thought, huh?- said Charlie.

-Charlie!- hissed Bill.

Undoubtedly slightly worried that this might be taking it too far but Amy… She had missed them too. They had only been staying at The Burrow for the Winter Holidays for a few days now, it was only the 27^th of December after all, but she…

She’d like to see them again.

Hated spending the Winter Holidays by herself.

As she muttered angrily to herself quite a bit.

So, she…

Well, she needed to join back in, didn’t she? Otherwise the pair of them would get too caught up in what this might be doing to her. How it might be too much.

And it was, slightly.

But she had been the one to start up that train of thought in the conversation, hadn’t she? And she knew… She knew how to deal with it.

‘Charlie’s right, Bill,’ spoke up Amy. ‘The pair of you arguing is not going to get either of you here faster.’

Another pause.

Oli and Anto were keeping quiet to allow the three of them to work it out themselves. And Penny and Cedric… Well, it wasn’t their Kata now was it?

And the dynamics of the Weasley Kata was quite complicated as it was. Almost impossible for anyone outside to understand or to be able to successfully navigate.

-It’s all Bill- said Charlie –I’m already planning how to get away-

-And you think I’m not?- said Bill’s slightly angry tone.

-You’re the one arguing- said Charlie.

Amy huffed.

Honestly.

‘The pair of you get anything you need,’ said Amy. ‘I’ll talk to Aunt Molly and help arrange the excuse for both of you to leave The Burrow.’

Another pause, before.

-Thanks- said Bill and Charlie.

Amy snorted.

And she was the one who was the more… submissive over the entire subject.
