ficsbydeenasWell, this will be all until Tuesday...You all have a great holiday weekend!! God bless our Veterans!
"Julia? Thomas?"
Thank Merlin it's Mum.
"Just a second, Mum!" Julia looked in the mirror, flattened out her hair and took a deep breath. She turned around and playfully rumpled Thomas' hair, kissing the air as she made her way out of the room. In the kitchen, she found her mother sitting at the table with pressed lips, a sure sign of irritation.
"Everything all right?" she asked.
"Er, yeah. Where's Dad?"
"That man is out there." Ginny huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.
"What'd he say now?" Julia sat down next to her mother. She loved her father with all her heart, but he could be a real pain in the arse sometimes...well, a lot of the time.
"Oh, the same old same old...He says, 'So does he have the balls to ask her now?' to which I replied, 'It's really none of your business, Harry.' Then he went on a tirade about how you deserved better than being Thomas' lover and cook and how he really needed to get a backbone where you were concerned. I tried giving him a good ol' Bat-Bogey Hex, but the bastard's learned to deflect it over the years. So I told him to remember what he did with me before we were married and then he came back with how we didn't have sex until we were engaged." She shook head and rolled her eyes. "I swear he's been acting more and more like my brothers did when I was fifteen. He really needs to lighten up."
Julia had no idea what to say to her mother. Part of her was proud that her mother had taken her side while the other part was horrified that they were discussing her sex life with each other.
"So he's out there sulking then?" Julia couldn't hide the grin that was forming on her lips.
"No. He's lying on the grass with a nice set of antlers. Twelve point buck, to be exact."
"Mother, you didn't!"
"I sure as hell did! I stunned him, too. He should be awake in a few minutes," she snorted. "The antlers will have to stay on for a little while, though." The two women burst out in laughter at Harry's expense.
"Hem-hem," came a deep baritone voice. Julia turned around and smiled at Thomas. "Are you laughing at me?"
"No, dear," Ginny reassured him. "Look outside at Harry."
He gave them a quizzical look and headed toward the door. There were a few silent moments before Thomas burst out laughing.
"Have you got a camera? Dad would LOVE to see this...Prongs, Jr...in the flesh." Thomas returned from the door and kissed Ginny atop her head. "Remind me never to make you angry, Ginny."
"Julia? Thomas?"
