I walk into the ice cream parlour with all 6 kids. "Okay now one scoop okay?" I say when all of them walk in.
"I want a sundae!" Jenny says.
"Me too!" Justin smiles at the sundae a hufflepuff student takes off the counter.
I sigh and look at the others. "Want do you want?" I ask them.
"Nilla!" "Strawberry!" "Cookie Dough!" Dustin, Ashlyn, and Zoe smile when they stand on their tiptoes, looking at all the favors. "I want a twist momma..." Isaiah looks up at me. I smile and order their ice cream and they run to the booth and start eating like the wind. "This was a bad idea..." I sigh as I walk over with a sundae myself.

I look up from a booth in the corner when a gaggle of small noisy children enter and start clamoring for ice cream around a slightly harassed-looking woman. Smirking slightly with amusement, I return to my book and half-melted chocolate glop, then pause when I vaguely recognize the voice. Shell something?
"What was?" I ask, looking up at her with raised eyebrows. "Having all those kids in the first place or exposing them to sugar?"

"Exposing them to sugar...I keep forgetting that lesson." I say with a small laugh. I look at the guy who was talking to me. "Oh hey Fitzy..." I say with a smile. All of them run behind me as they quickly finish off their ice cream.

"Hello there... Shell something?" I ask with a slight frown, making sure, then looking behind her at all the small children running around. "I'm thinking that it's maybe a lesson you should learn pretty soon...."

I laugh. "Shelby Henderson." Jenny says to finish his sentence. "Thank you Jenny..." I say with a slight, but playful glare. She smiles as she sits down in the booth, so she was facing Fitzy. "I want to sit too..." Isaiah frowns. Jenny sighs and moves over for he could sit.

I raise my eyebrows quizzically at the invading children. "You're the odd one who hugged me, aren't you?" I ask Jenny. "And you are very small," I add to the little boy. "Easier to eat that way."

"That's right! You remember me!" Jenny says with a smile of ice cream. "Mister, can yoo help us?" Hope asks Fitzy. "We whant too sit there tooo." Holly chimes in. "Me too!" Zoe says as she shoves Isaiah, over in the booth to make room. "Us three..." Justin and Dustin laugh as they sit next to Fitzy. "And don't forget me!" Ashlyn says as she squeezes in.

I stiffen slightly but manage not to flinch as they all crowd around, and then raise my eyebrows at Shell. "You are evil little vultures, did you know that?" I ask the kids in general.

"That's what momma tells us..." Zoe says with a little laugh. Jenny takes it offensively and says, "You're not too kind yourself..."

I laugh. "No, I guess not. You're tiny though, so...." I shrug. "And she's right in that case," I add to the other girl, nodding solemnly.

I laugh. "Jenny that wasn't nice." I say to her sternly. She just sticks her tongue out at me. "Do you want your broccoli later or not?" I threaten Jenny. She gets quiet and smiles innocently. The other cringe just at the word broccoli.

I laugh and look over at Shelby. "Broccoli is a punishment?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.

"Jenny loves broccoli..." I say to him. "She'll do anything for it..."

"Ah..." I nod, laughing slightly. "You're a very odd child," I tell Jenny.

She smiles and continues eating her ice cream. "So, what have you been up to Fitzy?" I ask as I pick up Holly and place her on my lap.

"Not especially much," I shrug, idly stirring my ice cream. "How about you?"

"Watching all of them, dealing with my wonderful father, a couple of friends are getting married...the usual." I say with a laugh.

"Ah," I nod, noting the 'wonderful father' part. "Second bit sounded like sarcasm if you don't mind me saying so."

I look at Fitzy and sigh. "He's a mad man. He's a deatheater who's trying to kill me and my entire family. He's already killed my mum, some aunts, uncles and cousins..." I say shaking my head. Zoe frowns when I start talking about my dad.

"Sounds pleasant," I say, frowning slightly. "And... you haven't gone completely paranoid enough to barricade yourself in your house or something?" I ask, looking around.

"Unfortunately, I'm the head of the family, so I have to keep figuring out where he's hiding so a few of us, including me can take him down. But lately, he keeps going after me specificly. I've had my over fair share of crucios..." I say closing eyes, since I could still feel the pain in my heart and legs.

I frown a little more, not liking the sound of that even as I wonder why I care. "And you're just wandering around by yourself with all these kids? Is that safe?" I ask, glancing at the small ones and wondering also if they should be listening to this.

"Never...Briar or someone in my family watches them." I say looking at them. "They already know about the attacks anyway. My house has transformed into a mini hospital or hiding place, since it's protected against dark magic." I say softly. "So, they try to tend to their wounds, or will bring them cookies or something like that."

I frown some more, glancing at the kids again. "Anything that I can do to help?" I ask, surprising myself.
You are being very weird lately, Fitzy.

Shelby cause I'm too lazy to switch: "You want to help me?" I say surprised. "You know my entire family is sided with the order right?"

"And why would you think I'd have a problem with that?" I ask, dropping my eyes to the table and unconsciously gripping my left arm. I quickly grip the right one as well when I realize this, cursing myself for always having such a bad poker face.

I sigh. "I have one too..." I whisper to him. "But I'm a spy now, I was forced to join. If you still want to help take down my father you can if you want." I say softly to him.

I raise my eyebrows, opening my mouth to admit that I would love more than just about anything to be a spy and take down as many death eaters as possible... but then paranoia and self-preservation kick in and trigger my more selfish tendencies.
"And... just what exactly would that involve?" I ask cautiously, eying her warily.

"Finding out where my father is, what's he planning, and this isn't necessary, but if you want to kill him for any reason don't hold back." I say to him sternly.

I nod, thinking it over. "I don't know if I can help you actively...." I say after a moment. "But if I happen to find out anything or find myself with an opportunity to help you, I'll let you know or take advantage of it." I shrug, knowing that's really not much and that I'm just being a coward.
