"Perhaps you would like to continue this?" Julian raised an eyebrow.
"My pleasure." Harry said immediately and took the place beside the table. Instead of Julian's quick method of removing the tape, the young thief started at a painful and excruciating slow pace. Remus stopped growling and looked like he was envious of the torture Harry was inflicting on his parents' betrayer.
"It does look like a naked mole rat, doesn't it?" Harry mused. Harry left the interrogation to Nicholas and Julian, while he and Fleur decided to report on his progress to Apolline.
"A disgusting fat, naked mole rat." Fleur shuddered, answering Harry's earlier question. "Why did you use the tape anyway?"
"I usually need it when I trade comics and action figures back at Surrey." Harry replied. "You know, selling back the packaging. Clients are very fussy about that, and you'll want to make sure you have a very sticky tape to secure the goods. It's a habit I guess."
"You've done well." Fleur said, hooking her arm around Harry's as they entered the garden. "What do you plan on doing now?"
"The old man told me that we need to plan to have my godfather freed from Azkaban, but before that secure enough Basilisk venom before the year ends." Harry said, eyeing the food spread on the table. "For now I think I need a break."
"I know of a good way to spend time." Fleur commented. She walked deeper into the gardens and gave Harry a glance. "Coming?"
Harry made the quickest sandwich in his life, and once it was wrapped in tissue, ran after Fleur.
Tonks Residence, January3
Andromeda Tonks appeared in a small pop in the backyard of her house, it had been a long day and she was looking forward to a nice hot bath. The days following the holidays were always a busy one, with wizards and witches trying to rush things after a weeklong vacation.
As a high level employee working for a wizarding realty firm that has close relations with Gringotts, Andromeda was spared most of the hard work but still received her fair share of headache inducing meetings with rude clients and paperwork.
The times were changing, with old wizarding houses and hectares of land now being sold by the pureblood families to earn more revenue upon the advice of the goblins. However, being that the purebloods' numbers were dwindling as more families began to accept marriages with half-bloods and even ordinary muggles, preferred buyers of their once proudly owned vast tracks of land were sorely lacking. The purebloods had no choice but to sell unwanted assets to the lesser halfbloods, or worse, mudbloods and their muggles relatives.
This poses a problem for the wizarding society elite, for a pureblood it would look bad to be seen dealing directly with what they considered to be inferior. That was where the company Andromeda worked for came into play, exploiting a market that only they possessed the expertise in dealing with. Some purebloods, hesitant to directly interact with people they deem inferior, hired the services of the firm to personally arrange deals with the mudblood/half-blood upstarts.
Andromeda is considered a valuable asset in the company, with her lineage as once a member of the Most Noble House of the Blacks, the pureblood customers had no qualms in dealing with her. And with her familiarity with muggles and their way of life courtesy of her late husband, she was among the few in the company that could handle almost every problem.
Almost.
Andromeda dropped her coat on top of the lamp and headed straight to the kitchen to fix herself a hot drink. Dealing with her sister Narcissa who arrived on their office that morning had not been pleasant. She tried to make the meeting short, but Narcissa obviously wanted to prolong her embarrassment, inserting snide comments here and there about her profession and her way of life.
Taking a sip from her tea, Andromeda added a dash of honey and headed to the living room where she heard the sound of the telly.
Thundercats are on the move, thundercats are loose...
Feel the magic, hear the roar, thundercats are loose...
thunder thunder thunder thunder cats!
thunder thunder thunder thunder cats!
Andromeda stopped at the sight in front of her, struggling not to laugh as to disturb the newest and youngest member of her little family. Ever since Ted passed on due to an unfortunate accident, the joyful vibe inside their house never remained the same. The Tonks women tried their best since then, but no matter how hard she and her dear Nymphadora tried to liven things up during the holidays, she knew things would never be the same.
Until the day a young kitten walked into their lives, the young cat was now regarded as part of the Tonks family, showered with love and comfort.
Andromeda smiled and raised her hands to her hips, and watched Kit who again was standing feet from the telly, with his tail twitching and ears perked up, showing he was very excited or pleased.
Thunder, thunder, thunder cats, Hoooo!
"Oh Kit." Andromeda sat on the couch and raised her tired legs on the coffee table. "Did Dora turn on the Telly for you again?"
The young cat spared Andromeda a quick glance before he returned to watching the latest thing in the telly that caught his interest.
Andromeda looked around for the remote of the telly, and a moment later she realized that it was between Kit's legs. Dora's familiar was too smart for his own good, and Andromeda sometimes wondered how smart Kit really is.
"Kit?" Andromeda knelt on the floor to reach for the remote only for the young cat to possessively move it closer to itself his body with his front legs, while giving her a threatening and admittedly cute hiss.
Smiling in amusement, Andromeda quickly flicked the wand holstered on her wrist sheath and levitated both an annoyed Kit and the remote to the couch.
"There." Andromeda nodded in satisfaction and sat herself beside the annoyed cat. "It isn't healthy to sit so close to the telly. Don't worry, I won't change the channel."
Kit seemed to accept what she said and settled down beside her, and permitted her hand to stroke the tufts of his black fur.
