Savannah didn't have a job yet and apparently neither did Kirley. Besides, it was Friday and everyone seems to be up in arms about the missing people. They were trying all sorts of things and it wasn't working, but that meant that they weren't paying attention about regular jobs.

She decided that she would spend the morning with her brother. Sitting on his bed, she looked at him. "So ... lunch number three today. I can't believe we're doing that, but how are you dealing with it? With all of it? Parvati and Draco, the grandparents, being stuck here."

"Good luck with that," Savannah said, chuckling before squeezing Kirley's leg. "That's good. Stick with him, then and it'll prevent others from touching you. Think like a Slytherin." She snorted. "It's not like it's humanly possible to be around less than Dad was, but Roxanne always loved her father."

She shrugged. "Maybe without the pregnancy and the marriage, she won't drink as much. She'll never become as bad as Mum. It won't help us, but it'll help her." She knew her brother too well and Kirley was right. "One day he'll end up turning into her, so careful with staying in control. You have to find a way to let go."

She sat up, crossed legged in front of her. "Are you kidding me? We have to build a whole new society. I'm sure that we'll need a lot of new spells. Maybe not the first week or the first month, but eventually there will be more than Hogwarts. You know I'm right."

"Maybe I'll uh see about brewing some Felix Felicis. Use it to avoid hugs for a day." It wasn't a bad idea if the ingredients could be found. He hadn't brewed it since school. "I'll ask Regulus for help. He was known for being good at potions." Kirley laughed because it was true. "It sucks that he's you know, dead, but he'd hate it here. No dragons."

He wondered if that was true, or if the pressure of being Minister would get to her anyway. "I guess we'll see. Maybe. Might be nice to have, you know, a happy Parvati." He didn't really have any memories of their mother being truly happy, at least not without her also being truly drunk.

"Yeah. Maybe. But uh look where the last set of new spells got us. Everyone dead and those that aren't pulled through time." He made a face at her. "You think you're always right. Bloody uh bloody stubborn Gryffindor."

Savannah chuckled. "Most people would want to brew it to get hugs." Leave it to her brother to do things in reverse. "I'm sure he'll be so happy to help as soon as you tell him that you're trying to avoid hugs from his husband." She got quiet, because until now she'd made a point not to think about the fact that their father was dead. "Maybe he'll arrive here. Even if he'd hate it."

She nodded. "It will be nice. Maybe, she'll shock us and we'll want her to call her Mum and actually like her." Now that would be a shock all around, but hey, Gryffindors always fought for a brighter future.

She smacked his leg. "Unless you're trying to find spells that get us all pregnant, we'll be fine." She grinned. "Of course, I'm always right. Anyway, we should probably get ready for that lunch. We can see if she'll show up or there will be an emergency. We might have to start a bet to see how soon it'll all end."

"Yet another way I'm different," he said, but without any of his usual self-deprecation. Avoiding hugs was something even his siblings could understand. "Well, maybe we'll keep that part between us." Al looked away, guilt creeping in for even bringing their Dad up. "I uh yeah. Maybe. People keep showing up, right? Might be him."

Al couldn't help the incredulous snort at that. "Maybe. Weirder things have happened, I guess." He wondered what it would be like to have a mother they actually liked, as well as loved, but couldn't quite get his brain around the idea. The Slytherin in him was looking for all the ways it would go wrong.

"Yeah, uh, I don't think I'll be doing that." He sighed, then nodded. "We'll need Al for that. No fun in betting with just the two of us. We can grab him before lunch and see about those bets."
