Characters: Zacharias & Marietta
Setting: Marietta's flat, right before this
Rating: PGish
Summary: Zacharias wants to be annoying, and also maybe talk about babies - or just one baby.

Yesterday he had attempted to be a polite human being and when they backfired, he decided that it was not worth the work. And really, when dealing with Marietta it was best to simply give as good as he got. That was the basis of their relationship and up until this point he would call it a good one. Now, it was just all sorts of complicated and Zacharias couldn't help but feel she was intentionally making this worse for him.

A part of him had really wanted to make her go through with the pregnancy, give birth, and then eat the child or something equally twisted and horrendous. The problem with that line of thought was that in carrying into the hypothetical, he couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to have something that would call him father. It was the sort of thought that made him sick, but then there was how pissed off Elaina would be to have some not-quite pureblood Smith running around. Really, he could create some sort of little monster who would descend upon the wizarding world in a few years time and there was something appealing about that. Appealing in a way that also made him a bit sick.

Honestly, he wasn't sure what he was doing or even going to say as he threw a handful of floo powder into the fireplace to take him to Marietta's flat. Having to knock at her door was simply not an option because she wouldn't let him in. This way he would already be inside and she would have to look at him when they talked. And just to be sure that this conversation started off on the wrong foot, he called out, "Honey, I'm home," as he stepped out of her fireplace.

Marietta heard a thump come from the cupboard across the room and knew that was the cue to get Zacharias out of there. Granger was stirring and if she was going to be making noise it was only a matter of time before Pandora showed up to get her so Marietta had to get this prat out of the flat and fast.

She laughed - attempting to cover up the noise but it was already too late for that - and shook her head. "No, I think not. I'm sure you've other offers and I, unfortunately, cannot deal with you right now." Marietta discretely tucked her hands behind her back and reached into the bag of Floo powder, readying herself.

Zacharias paused hearing the noise from the cupboard. His eyes went right toward it. All he could think about was catching Marietta about unleash on Roger not that long ago. Shaking his head. "I hope you asked for a safe word!" He shouted loud enough to carry across the room.

He was sure there was more, even the intent to walk across the room and see just who the poor sucker was. While other thoughts wondered why they couldn't play like that too. However, he would never get the chance.

She wanted to laugh at that because if he knew who it was and what was going to happen to her, then he'd know that a safe word wouldn't do her any good. Also, at least she had made good on her statement of going after Granger. She may not have got him to do it but he was a prat anyhow.

"Goodbye, Zacharias. Have a nice evening with your mother," Marietta pulled out her wand and cast a curse to blow him back into the fireplace, tossing the Floo powder in simultaneously. She called out "Smith Estate" and shut down her Floo connection once he had gone through it. Now it was time to go get Granger ready.
