Rowling owns Harry and his wonderful world, but Marvin, the Krivdals,
and the plot are all mine and if you touch them I’ll sic Severus on you!
A/N: This chapter
is for everyone who has ever had a bad day and wished that they could blow up
the house without worries, because a quick Reparo would fix all the
damage. Thanks for all the review guys!
Chapter 3: Explosions are Good
for the Soul
When they were all standing outside
of his house, Marvin looked down at Wendy and sighed. He was going to have to bring her home before
Ginger blew up several city blocks in the process of searching for her
daughter. He just hoped that Ginger
would ask questions first and hex later…or better yet not at all. It’s not as if he’d asked a five-year-old to
illegally Apparate to his graduation. Marvin glanced around at his companions. Severus seemed deep in thought and
occasionally scowled at Wendy. (Marvin
hoped that this wouldn’t be too big a set back for Project Aphrodite.) Draco and Lucius
seemed a bit overwhelmed by the little chatter box girl. Ginny and Harry kept looking at the little
girl with silly grins and Ron was rolling his eyes at them. Marvin snickered. Ron was probably thinking the same thing he
was, that they wouldn’t have to wait too long after the wedding before Harry
Jr. was running around Hogwarts. Arthur
and Sirius both seemed to find little Wendy quite amusing and took turns
answering all the girls questions, jumping in when Severus ignored her.
Marvin pulled his keys out of his
pocket. “I’ll be right back out. I just need to put my gown away and throw on
some sneakers.”
Severus’ scowl darkened. “Where, may I ask, are we going?”
“We need to get Wendy back to her mom before
she goes nuclear. They just live across
the bridge and seven blocks up.”
Draco groaned. “That far?
Can’t we just Apparate her back?”
Marvin rolled his eyes. “Where’s the fun in that? I used to walk it all the time to visit
Justin. It’s really not that far and I’m
sure Ginger would appreciate us tiring the midget out.”
Severus looked thoughtful for a moment. “The rest of you can stay here. Marvin and I can take the girl alone.”
Everyone seemed to find this
arrangement to their liking so Marvin let them all in and rushed to
change. With any luck, Severus showing
up to return Ginger’s lost daughter would go a long way in advancing Project
Aphrodite. Well…at least it might make
up points for how upset Severus seemed about Ginger having a kid.
_________________________________________________________________
Severus did his best to look
straight ahead and ignore the little scamp who was quickstepping alongside him,
constantly pulling on his shirtsleeve and asking ridiculous questions. Marvin was quite graciously answering for
him, but that didn’t seem to deter the annoying little girl from directing her
queries at him. Perhaps she was a bit
slow.
“Mr. Snape, is
Potions a fun class? I want to take
Potions when I get to go to school. I
want to go to Hogwarts where Harry Potter is, but mommy says that I’d have to
live with uncle Justin and I don’t think I want to be
that far away from Gamma Tiss.”
Severus blinked. What in the blue blazes was a gamma tiss? He looked at Marvin
who was smiling, and quirked an eyebrow in question.
“She’s talking about her Grandma Tish, Severus. Justin
told me that Wendy has a habit of giving people pet names. Remember Puhpuh
Egg?”
Severus sniffed. “She’s a bit old for baby talk, don’t you
think?”
Marvin shrugged. “Everything else she says comes out just
fine. Its just one of those things I think. Stick around long enough and she might give
you.”
Severus cringed and then shot an
evil glare at Marvin when the little girl in question looked up at him with a
thoughtful expression. “I already have
one.”
“I wait with baited breath,” Severus ground
out.
“Rus. I’m going to call you Rus.”
Great
Merlin! I’ve been reduced from a consul
of ancient Rome to some sort of teddy bear fluff!
Miss Krivdal
was still looking up at him expectantly.
“You like it, don’t you?”
Severus sneered and began to speak in the snarkiest tone in his repertoire. “I find it very…”
He froze as little Wendy bit her
lip, her crystal blue eyes wide as saucers and shining with hope.
Not the eyes. Not the eyes. Not the eyes.
Pull it together Severus.
“…clever.
Yes, it’s a very clever choice, Miss Krivdal.” The little girl’s face lit up with happiness
and Severus looked over at Marvin who was smiling softly.
Oh yes, Severus. Way to let the
little motor mouth know who’s boss. What’s wrong with you? Since when can’t you handle a few tears?
Severus scowled. He wasn’t used to dealing with children so
small. Sure, he made eleven-year-olds
cry all the time, but Wendy was just so…tiny and cute.
Cute? CUTE!
Have you lost your mind?
Severus scowled the rest of the
way to the Krivdal household and once again allowed
Marvin to answer all the little girl’s questions. He didn’t give a damn about anything cute.<br.

Justin peeked up from behind the
couch very carefully only to see another bolt of yellow light heading his
direction. “Ging,
you’ve got to calm down!”
He watched as fluff and fuzz
showered about him and heard his sister shrieking over the sound of breaking
glass and wood. “Calm down? My baby is missing so don’t you tell me to
calm down!”
The light fixture above his head
shattered and he was suddenly very glad that their mother had gone to pick up
and deliver Marvin’s graduation present.
As the glass rained down, Justin rolled away from the couch, sprang to
his feet, and pointed his wand at his sister.
“Expelliarmus!”
Ginger glared at him for a moment
before snatching up a glass vase sitting on the table beside her and launching
it at the wall. A satisfied expression
played on her lips for a moment as the sound of shattering glass echoed through
the living room. “I want my baby back
here now. Where the hell could she have
gone? She’s not supposed to be able to
get passed the wards!”
Just as Justin opened his mouth to
respond the doorbell rang. He sighed in
relief. “Thank God.”
He walked to the door and opened
it just a crack. It wouldn’t do for a
neighbor to see the mess that Ginger had made.
He didn’t think he’d ever been so relieved as when
he saw Marvin and Snape standing there with Wendy.
_________________________________________________________________
Marvin took in the destruction of the
living room as Justin quickly ushered them in.
His friend seemed quite happy that they had arrived. “I’m so glad you guys got here this
fast. Where did you find her? Ginger was just about to make her way to the
kitchen. Mom would have killed her
because I don’t think she could Reparo the good china.”
Looking around at the bits of
shattered glass, splinters of wood, and singed puffs of couch stuffing, Marvin
wondered if they had actually made it here as fast as Justin was
suggesting. He was suddenly feeling
quite bad about not letting Severus Apparate
them. That was when Wendy spotted her
mom and tried to run to her right across the field of sharp shards in just her
little silk slippers. “Mommy!”
“Wendy, NO!”
Marvin tried to grab her but he wasn’t quick enough. Justin and Ginger were on the opposite side
of the room watching with wide eyes.
They all breathed a sigh of relief
as Severus whisked the girl into his arms.
Marvin tried hard not to laugh, giggle, or even smile at how flustered
Severus looked when little Wendy wrapped her arms around his neck. The scowling wizard quickly stomped through
the destruction to deposit the girl in her mother’s arms. That was when Marvin heard the voice of Mrs. Krivdal behind him.
“Kids, you’ll never guess who I picked up when
I stopped by Marvin’s!”
Marvin’s breath caught in his
chest as he took in Severus’ deer in the headlights expression. The man was positively frozen, clutching the
tiny girl who chose that moment to lean up and kiss him right on the tip of his
great beak of a nose. Swallowing hard,
Marvin turned slowly to see who Mrs. Krivdal had with
her.
Not Potter. Not Potter. Not Potter.
Sure enough, there stood Harry
Potter with Mrs. Krivdal, his eyebrows arched high
and his emerald eyes full of humor.
Marin looked back over at Severus to see a muscle in the dark-eyed
wizard’s cheek twitch. At that moment,
the only cushion on the couch that had survived Ginger’s onslaught exploded
into a thousand cotton ball fragments.
