RP: Exercise Location: Dragon's Grange Date: 21 January 2005
Draco snapped his head up from his book, realizing that his children had been quiet for at least thirty seconds. That was a danger sign when it came to the Malfoy brood. If the twins weren't changing colors, Lyra was trying to climb something.
He shot up out of his chair to scan the library. A sound came from ground level and he glanced down to discover that his momentary panic was unfounded. All three kids were on the carpet in front of him, on their backs, arms and legs stretched to the ceiling. "What are you doing?" he asked as he sank back into the chair.
"Ohgus," Nova said.
Draco knotted his brows and watched as the kids made apparently random movements with their arms, then all three rolled over. They put their heads and arms on the floor and shoved their bottoms into the air. Lyra giggled the whole way through.
After a moment, Draco covered his mouth to hide a laugh. He'd seen that pose before, though far more elegantly done. Hermione called it Downing Dog, or something like that. He touched his earring and activated the contact. "Granger," he murmured. "If you have a minute, you have to come see this. Bring the camera."
