Today was the day! The first time she ever got to go out on her grandpa’s boat basically unsupervised, and Sable Ileana was going to make it the best day ever. Of course the Gryffindor had plans, mutable ones but plans nonetheless, and Mum had made a picnic basket of food for them all too. It was going to be an amazing day, no matter what happened.

The blonde had double checked everything down to the last detail, just in case. Pirates were prepared for everything, after all, and after her pirate captain’s hat was on, she had headed over to her cousin’s flat and then on to the marina where the Ruby was moored. Yes, she remembered Grandpa’s rules, but that was why Sterling was there. He could make sure they got back on time and all that, while she did her captaining. Plus, it was entirely possible she’d made him carry the food and supplies. Captains didn’t do the hard labor, after all.

“Come on!”, she called out, already onboard and awaiting the arrivals of everyone. He ought to be strong enough to carry everything.


Had he pretended he hadn’t heard Siabear calling out to him? Perhaps, but Sterling worked on his own time. They couldn’t cast off until everyone she had invited had boarded anyhow, unless she was suddenly going to expect him to be a sidealong Apparition ferryman. He hoped not, however much he imagined Juliette would have been amused by the possibility. He adored his wife and all, but the sheer Gryffindor of it all was exhausting.

He was there to make sure they all returned in one piece. That was it. Otherwise he’d planned on just keeping to himself and letting the younger kids have at it. Sable Ileana knew how to pilot the boat, whether or not Grandfather trusted her not to “borrow” it whenever she wanted. He was just there as a reminder she couldn’t.
