Scene 1: A Birthday Surprise

Paton Household, Hogsmeade
July 26, 2109

Summer is well underway. Between going to work or completing chores, caring for an array of creatures, and attending camp or lessons, everyone has been as busy as a bee. Today is another hectic day, though there is a different kind of buzz in the air. Various members of the Paton family are ... up to something.

Characters:
Franklin Paton (Zoe)
Hadleigh Paton (Kolyander)
Nova Paton (FearlessLeader19)
Melody Paton (SilverTiger)
Logan Paton (Zoe)
Bryony Paton (Kolyander)

Frankie was sure that Hadleigh was already suspecting that something was up. In fact, he knew that she knew something was up. It was her birthday after all, so it was only natural to assume. There were, of course, other clues, such as him taking the entire day off, treating her to her favorite restaurant, and meandering through a couple of shops. But there was something in the works that he hoped she wasn't expecting. The kids so far had kept the secret under lock and key, and now it was on them to pull through.

"Kids, we're home!" he announced, louder than he really needed to, the moment they walked through the door. Consider it a cue to stop the shouting that was likely happening so they could quickly get into position.

He hoped their little excursion together had given the kids enough time to do what they had talked about. They already were getting some points for not burning the house down while they were away.

Logan was tired of decorating. Actually, he was tired of being the one responsible for hanging up all of the party streamers. Just because he had grown a bunch did not mean he was now all of a sudden more qualified for such a task. Why couldn't he have been in charge of wrapping their mum's presents? It would have been a messy job on his part, but 100% easier than hanging stuff from the ceiling and on the walls.

"I need more spellotape," he mumbled to no one in particular, awkwardly standing on a stool with an arm stretched out as far as it could go. The other hand was open, waiting for a strip he could use to stick the last of the streamers to the wall.

Then he heard the sound of his father's voice. "Spellotape. Now," he hissed. Their parents would be walking in any moment now.

*Kolyander* · 12-20-2022, 12:02 AM

Now, obviously one Bryony Rose Paton didn't mind decorating. The young girl was all for it. Usually she was thrilled about getting all dressed up pretty and tossing lots of glitter around when. For herself. But today was about her. SIGH. Today was about their mum. It was her birthday and they had been left at home to get things all ready for when her and papa get back home.

Which could only mean that the youngest blonde was as hyped up as she could be. Wanting to help all THREE of her older siblings with whatever task they were currently working on. Like right now, that someone happened to be LOGAN! "I got it! I go-" she came racing in to the room with the spellotape in hand only for it to go flying across the room and for her to go sprawling flat on her face when she tripped right over Beans the crup who choose to lay right on the other side of the doorway.

FearlessLeader19 · 12-26-2022, 04:20 PM

Nova was sooooooo good at keeping secrets! However, what was the point of trying to keep anything hidden from her mum who practically knew everything? Were all mothers like this? Or was it just her own? Still, it was fuuuun to work on the task assigned to her and her three younger siblings. Nova pranced around here, there and everywhere, putting fresh flowers in vases, blowing up balloons until she was out of breath and all the other jazz that came with it. She was so busy but she had so much energy! Not even the fact that she was still unable to use magic out of Hogwarts for these tasks did anything to mar her good mood.

Her heart did seem to take a leap when she heard her father’s voice. A fleeting look of alarm passed her face at the precise moment Logan made a demand for Spellotape. “Mel! Bry! Hurry it up!’’ Then there was Bry and the Spellotape flying all over the floor. “For Merlin’s sake, Bry!’’ Nova bustled over to Logan after grabbing the escaping Spellotape, grabbing the Spellotape and hurriedly cutting a strip off the roll. “Here. How many pieces do you need?”

SilverTiger · 12-28-2022, 02:00 AM

Keeping secrets wasn’t that hard. Even if Melody was well aware that their mum was likely aware something was up. Anyone would be, especially when it was their birthday, but at least she was confident she hadn’t let anything slip. Even with all of Logan’s complaints over being relegated to streamer duty.

She had claimed present wrapping for herself, and there she was, on the floor finishing up the last gift, Circe curled around her neck as usual. The only thing missing was her earbuds, but she’d known it was better to set her music aside for the moment. Although she might’ve also asked Dad if she could be in control of the music for the party, she wanted to stay aware while they were all left to make things pretty for Mum. Especially with Logan and Bry around.

She’d pushed the last gift over to the pile at the same time their father’s voice had beenheard, glancing up as Nova had reacted. “All done over here”, she said, sotto voce, even as she moved over to untangle her younger sister from Beans. Since Nova had Logan and the Spellotape under control.

*Kolyander* · 12-29-2022, 04:19 PM

Why was she getting screamed at?! She was helping. Every since their mum and papa left earlier she had been doing every single thing they had all told her to do. Mostly. She had even toned it down with the glitter. Couldn't they see that she was doing the best that she could? Not everyone was as big as they all were. Geeze, they all needed to calm down and take a breather. Plus.. they weren't the ones currently sprawled out across the floor!

Rude, Nova! Really, really RUDE! Leaving her laying there. At least Melody was nice enough to sorta help her. No asked if she was okay and that was fine! She was perfectly fine! All fine! Scrambling back up onto her feet and giving Beans a small glare for being the reason she had fallen in the first place, Bry turned all of her attention towards the front door and waited for it to open.

*Zoe* · 12-29-2022, 06:04 PM

He had to admit it: the lack of screaming and usual chaos was impressive. Maybe they should plan for secret parties all the time if it meant that the kids would get on long enough for them to cooperate with each other.

Frankie's eyes glanced over to Hady, trying to get a good read on her. Was she just as surprised that the house was still intact? Or was she more concerned that the house was, for the most part, semi-quiet? The latter would normally be of concern to him, but it was all part of the plan. His instructions had been clear as gillywater.

The sound of something falling to the floor in the next room did catch his attention. No crying followed, just hushed voices. He made a sudden movement toward the door, putting his hand on the handle before Hady could.

His other hand reached out, welcoming her to join hers with his. "Close your eyes, will you?" he asked, his eyes twinkling as a little smirk made an appearance on his face.

Why was it taking so long for some Spellotape to be handed over to him? It was one thing that the boy had no patience for anything, but it was something else entirely now that their parents were literally back home and they had maybe 40 seconds before they walked into the room they were decorating.

He could feel his arms and legs aching as he continued to be all stretched out, holding the last of the streamers in place. It was starting to get really unbearable, and he could feel himself starting to sweat. But what was even more unbearable was watching Bryony fail to be of any help. "Merlin, Bry! Watch where you're going!" And he left it at that, leaving Mel to deal with her.

"Just a piece," he told Nova, snatching from her the one she had just cut. There wasn't time for a thank you, considering they were literally scrambling to wrap the decorating up at this point. As fast as a Snitch, he placed the tape onto the end of the streamer and stuck it to the wall. Done. Finished.

Blue eyes shot to the door. "Hurry! Places, everyone!" he told his sisters, definitely not being as quiet as he probably should have been.

FearlessLeader19 · 12-31-2022, 02:20 PM

Nova flashed Melody a quick thumbs up without looking in her sister’s direction. One could usually count on Melody to get things without any muss or fuss - quite unlike Bry or Logan. With regard to Bry, Nova didn’t really care if the youngest sister thought of her as rude. She had seen Bry take one too many nasty tumbles with all the ninja nonsense and bounce right back up. Forgive her if she had more urgent things on her mind. Or don’t forgive her. It didn’t matter at the moment.

With the one piece of the Spellotape handed over to Logan, Nova quickly threw the scissors and the remaining tape into one of the boxes that had held the decorations. She made a last minute attempt to clean the place by grabbing anything that didn’t belong in the lovely ‘party’ setting and showed it out of sight behind a large armchair that sat against a wall.

Places! Yes! Where did she need to be again?

Nova blanked for a full three seconds before catching sight of Bry. Right! Nova strode quickly over to Bry and stood next to her. When this was over, all she wanted to do was to settle in with a bowl of cheese puffs and have her father bring her up to speed with his latest Auror work.

*Kolyander* · 01-06-2023, 03:15 PM

In typical Bryony fashion a glare had been sent Logan's way for his comment too. Ugh! This family of hers was something else. Getting all up on her case when it wasn't even her fault! If anyone at all should be getting blamed right now, it should've been Beans for laying in the middle of a doorway. Not her. This was normal though, always being picked on for being the smallest, the youngest or whatever else anyone could come up with at the moment. They all seemed to have forgotten that she was one to get even. So sad that they let it slip their minds while being away at school.

Keeping quite, the nine year old stood her ground remaining where she was standing. They wanted to be mean to her, she would remember it. Right now though, there was a party to get started and she wasn't going to ruin it for their mum. She knew exactly what she was doing as she plastered the biggest brightest smile onto her face, clasped her hands behind her back and bounced on her toes as she stared at the front door waiting for it to open.

Hady wasn't by any means suspecting anything huge to happen today but she knew something was up the moment she realized Frankie had taken the entire day off work. That in itself was a little strange. As was the two of them going out to lunch on their own and leaving the children at home? What was that all about? It was a little questionable since it wasn't something they did all that often, particularly where their youngest was concerned. Mainly being because Bry could be such a handful if she decided she wasn't happy about something. However this mama didn't question it at all, not even once.

If she was being completely honest with her, she was very much enjoying the few hours out alone with her husband. There hadn't been any rush when it came to eating nor shopping. She had taken her time with that, getting a few things that were going to be needed for the summer as well as for the kids and herself when the new Hogwarts term began again in a few weeks time.

Upon arriving back home, Hady cast a glance Frankie's way in curiosity when he announced their return rather loudly. Yup, something was definitely going on. She was sure of it. Yet she still said nothing at all. Not even when asked to close her eyes and she spotted that clear smirk on Frankie's face. "Alright, for you I'll close my eyes. Don't let me walk into anything," she teased, slipping her hand into his as she shut her eyes. Lead the way.

*Zoe* · 01-21-2023, 07:54 PM

Right after he had asked Hardy to close her eyes, the commotion that was occurring on the other side of the door was heard. Leave it to Logan to be louder than he should have when telling everyone to get in their places. It took every fibre of his being to not groan and roll his eyes.

At least the surprise, which probably wasn't much of a surprise since Hady surely knew something was up, hadn't been ruined. That he had to remind himself as he felt his wife's hand join his and he saw that her eyes were closed. Cheekily, he took his hand off the doorknob and waved it in front of her face just to make sure. "Swear they're closed?" Of course they were. Hady was always one to play along with his antics. The trust was there.

Without another word, his hand returned to the doorknob. With a turn, it opened and he lead Hady into the next room where --

At this point, Logan had jumped off the stool and clambered over the sofa to get into the spot that he wanted to be standing: front and centre. He had, in the process, bumped into his sisters to wiggle his way between them. Muffles from the other side of the door hadn't been heard, though he did see the doorknob turning.

"SURPRISE!" he shouted at the top of his lungs as soon as his Mum and Dad had entered the room. From his pocket, he pulled out a streamer confetti cannon that Dad had snuck to them all the night before and gave it a twist. With a pop, confetti blew out and showered the room. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUM!"

Was it time for him to do his drum solo that the had been working on for this particular day? Could they eat cake now?

FearlessLeader19 · 01-27-2023, 11:15 PM

By now, truthfully, Nova had forgotten all about Bry and the accident. The oldest Paton offspring was focused on their parents so if Bry wanted to stew, she’d be taking no notice of it. Though she did spare a second to elbow Logan as he bumped her. UGH! Brothers! Actually, siblings in general! They made her roll her eyes so much.

Nova heard the indistinct voices of her parents and somehow, Bry’s bounciness materialised in her for the teen too began bouncing. This was so thrilling! Their mother was going to have one of the best days ever! Her father was there first followed closely by their mother. “Happy birthday, mum!” Nova yelled, though her voice was nowhere as near Logan. But, she did follow suit with the confetti camera, setting it off in the direction of her parents, namely Hady. Shiny gold confetti erupted, showering down eventually. With that, Nova threw herself at Hady.

*Kolyander* · 02-03-2023, 05:31 PM

Bry was calming down from her stumble and moving on! There was much more important things ahead that needed this girls attention. Like their parents right outside the door! Squeeeeee!

Standing big and tall, she was ready to go. At least until she go nudged aside by Logan. Yes, she had to also elbow him back for that cause, seriously? He could've asked her to scoot over some. Pulling the confetti canon from her pocket she wait as patiently as she could for the front door to open. And when it did...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!" she shouted excitedly, giving the item in her hands a twist and spraying confetti all over their parents. Sorry mummy and daddy. Hehehe.

*Zoe* · 02-05-2023, 04:20 PM

The sight of the room was surprisingly surprising. While he knew that his kids were going to decorate regardless, he expected ... well, he expected chaos. He wouldn't at all have been taken aback if they had walked in on decorations being askew, the dog eating the cake, and the kids fighting in the middle of it all. But, instead, everything seemed to be in place.

And there were all of the 'happy birthday' shouts and the flying on confetti. Frankie had a feeling that all four of them had been waiting all day to do that.

"Happy birthday, love," he told his wife, giving her a smooch on the lips before letting go of her hand. It was only a matter of seconds before one of the kids came in for a hug while the confetti was falling. And, as if on cue, there Nova was. The Auror took this as a sign to sneak off to the kitchen and grab the cake.

What was the fuss about? The eye roll from Nova and then being elbowed back by Bryony were totally unnecessary. It wasn't his fault that they were standing in his spot, which they hadn't actually discussed since they had been so busy putting up the decorations and getting everything else ready. But he definitely had telepathically told them.

He was going to remember that, Bryony. An elbow back was going to happen sometime in the future. Of course, not now. Confetti was falling (even though it would have been a perfect distraction to elbow a certain sibling), their parents were there, and it was their Mum's day. They had to be on their best behaviour now.

Logan didn't fling himself at their mother. He, being thirteen, was too cool for such things. But he would, simply because it was her birthday, allow her to give him a hug and even a cheeky peck if she wanted. "Did we surprise you? We've kept this under lock and key for WEEKS." It was amazing how Bryony managed to keep her mouth shut about it.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-09-2023, 01:03 AM

Excuse you, father.

Ye haveth little faith! Nova would be somewhat offended if she knew what the adult male was thinking. She had grown up into a mature, responsible young lady who had more control over her younger siblings. Kind of. At least they listened to her at times. But she supposed since this was a special occasion, Logan and Bry had tried their best for their mother.

Nova squished Hady. She wasn’t the sentimental type but in that moment, the teen couldn’t help but whisper, “Appreciate you. Love you.” Then she quickly pulled away, moving back so her sisters could have a go. Clearly Logan was proud to hug Hady.

“It’s a surprise your loud mouth didn’t let anything slip either,” Nova ribbed at Logan, smirking. “Mum, you’ve got to come see the cake!”

SilverTiger · 02-11-2023, 01:43 AM

Chaos was rather the norm around the house, but the fact their father hadn’t trusted the older kids to rein it in for Mum’s birthday was definitely rude.

Even if it was rather obvious from Logan’s shove directed at Bry and the littlest Paton’s reaction to said shove that they were barely managing it, Melody having taken her place with the group seconds before their parents had arrived. But still, a little faith was welcome, as the confetti cannons bursting woke Circe up and the snake hissed softly before curling back up around her mistress’ neck, Melody herself had held back from bombarding Mum with hugs and whatnot, just because she had better things in mind. It was nearly as good as a hug, anyhow.

Namely, slipping away from the lineup to start the playlist that she’d carefully curated for Mum and the party. Which of course included some of the songs from when Mum played herself, with the Sirens. Because she was absolutely not going to neglect that part of Mum’s history. In fact, she may have learned how to play a few of the songs, but for now the playlist would do.

And going over to see the cake that Nova was urging Mum to come see.

*Kolyander* · 02-15-2023, 05:08 PM

Now, one might suspect that the smallest and youngest Paton may have flung herself at their mother first.. but she had not. See that?! She had behaved herself papa. With lots of focus she reigned in her energy and held herself in place, waiting her turn.

When it was her turn she hurried herself over to her mama and hugged her tightly. This was when she chatted excitedly about how she had kept it all a secret too! And of course how she had helped because obviously she had!

Did she know what was going on behind the other side of the door? Not entirely. She did know it was something however. Hady knew better than to think nothing was going on. So when the door open, she braced herself for whatever it was that was going to happen.

Annnnnnnd it wasn't at all like what it could've been! There was a chorus of 'Happy Birthdays' from their children and waaaay too confetti raining down upon them all but it was sweet. "Thank you," she whispered in reply, managing to sneak in a return kiss before Frankie slipped away to wherever it was that he had gone.

Hady wasn't at all surprised that her firstborn was the first to come give her a squish. "I love you too, my Star." Came the soft whisper from her before she let her go.

Well would you look at that? Her son acting all grown up. Not to worry she wasn't going to overdo it at all but she was getting her hug. "Weeks, huh? Now that sure is a long long time to be keeping secrets, Wolverine." Hady grinned at him.

When her youngest didn't fling herself at her, well, Hady nearly cried. Were all her babies growing up? What happened to the days where they raced at her and threw themselves into her arms, sometimes not even one at a time? Giving her little flower a squish while listening to her chatter away, Hady couldn't help but take notice to the room suddenly filling with the sound of music. Not any music either mind you, a song she had played from back when she was in The Sirens. Merlin, that was ages and ages ago!

Hazel eyes sought out where it was coming from, obviously it would be her songbird.
Leave it to them to think of everything. Now what was this about a cake? "Alright, alright, lead the way." she laughed softly, ready to follow them all.

*Zoe* · 02-18-2023, 11:06 PM

Yes, credit was due where it was due. His little gremlins (his term of endearment for them) really did pull things off without any of the secrets being leaked. As he passed by them to sneak off to the kitchen, he couldn't help but notice, even with all of the hugging and loud chattering going on, just how quickly they were growing up.

The cake was exactly where it had been left, and the man was pleased to see that none of it had been sampled. Hearing familiar music coming from the room that really was taking him on a trip down memory lane, Frankie gave his wand a wave and watched as a number of candles appeared and placed themselves onto the cake. Merlin, he thought as he counted each one -- all 36 of them. Was that how many you had to put on my cake earlier this year, Hads? They were getting old.

With another wave of his wand, the candles lit themselves and the tiger lily-shaped cake levitated off the table. It and some plates and forks followed him as he opened the door to the other room. "Hurry and blow these things out, Hads! This is definitely a fire hazard," he joked, a cheeky grin on his face.

Logan had choice words for Nova in the response to the comment she had made. But, being their mum's birthday, he forced himself to not say them, at least not right now. Instead, he settled for narrowing his eyes and glaring at her for a few seconds. But a grin did appear on his face when his mum acknowledged his secret-keeping abilities and called him Wolverine. "It was. And I hung up all of the streamers."

His attention shifted immediately when Melody started up the playlist she had put together, knowing instantly that this was one of the sings his mum had played with her band years ago. He was a bit surprised that she hadn't started playing the songs she had been practicing lately. "Lemme know when you're going to play," he whispered to her. Whether she wanted him to or not, he was going to accompany her on the drums. He too had been practicing. Sort of.

But first, there would be cake! The instant their dad had opened the door and revealed the candle-lit cake, Logan bolted for the kitchen and started loudly singing the birthday song. "HAAAAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOOU!"

FearlessLeader19 · 02-20-2023, 11:47 PM

“You’re welcome, Mama.” This was one of those rare moments when Nova showed emotions or let lovey dovey stuff get the best of her. But hey, her mother was worth it. Nova was, after all, her Star. Glowing from being called that, she smiled silkily at Logan. Were you trying to scare her, Wolverine? Tut tut. Such a poor job you were doing.

And the music was on the way!

Nova had immense faith in Melody’s playlist; it was without a doubt that the playlist would be filled with some head bopping, feet jiving songs. “Hope you put some of The Kings and Serpents on there, Mel!” What music set would be complete without a few of their cousin’s band’s songs?

With regard to the cake, Nova admittedly had had a difficult time resisting the sugary temptation. By that time the cake had come floating into the room. Talk about candles galore!

Her {much nicer and sweeter} voice joined Logan’s. She may not be musically inclined as Mel and him but she could carry a tune.

*Kolyander* · 03-09-2023, 04:53 PM

How she wasn't already crying, she didn't know! Everything was perfect. The decorations, the music, her children! All perfect. Time needed to slow down so she could savory this moment a tiny bit longer. If everyone could just stay right where they were, all would be great.

Hady knew that wasn't going to happen. Not for a long shot. Too much was already going on for her to even try to keep everyone still for a second. What she needed to do was go with the flow and have a great time, that was what they always did and it always worked out well for them.

A smile graced her lips as her children sang to her, Frankie emerging from the other room with the cake. For a vague moment she wondered which of them had chosen it, it being her favorite flower and all. "Oh, hush you before you end up wearing the cake," she teased lightly, grinning at her husband. When the singing stopped she took a deep breath and blew out the candles.

"This is beautiful, thank you." They all were going to be getting more squishes from her before the night was through. Consider that a warning.

*Zoe* · 03-25-2023, 06:58 PM

Had he not been using magic to levitate the cake, there was a strong possibility that it could have ended up on the floor. The Auror, though quite agile, was not expecting his son to bolt over like that. But, then again, he should have anticipated such a thing as his mini-me was very much like a vulture when it came to food. Fortunately, the cake and all 36 candles were safe.

An eyebrow rose when Hady spoke. He should be quiet before he was wearing the birthday cake? That grin he had been wearing was now more of a smirk. "That'd be such a waste. You could at least shove it in my mouth," he teased his wife, wiggling his eyebrows now. "It'd be very convenient." The blond would, of course, return the favour as it was her day after all.

Then the singing began, which Frankie did not hesitate to join. Needless to say, it was getting quite loud now, with all of them caroling and Melody's music playing. The loudness was to be expected, however. He just hoped the neighbors didn't mind all the ruckus, which honestly was something they were going to have to get used to when all of the kids were under the same roof.

Once the candles were out, he locked his blue eyes with Hady's hazel ones and gave her a birthday smooch. Sorry, not sorry, kids.

While they were all singing to his mum, Logan was multitasking. He had already started reaching for the hovering plates and forks. Initially he had only grabbed one of each for himself. Though, mid-song, the boy figured he would do something nice since today was not about him (sigh). Soon plates and forks were slowly being passed around to everyone as the song started to come to an end.

"Aaaaaaaaaand manyyyyyyyyyy morrrrrrrrrre!" the thirteen-year-old carried on at the conclusion of the song. Because, yes, he did feel the need to have the last word as they watched the birthday mum blow out all of those candles.

His eyes instantly locked on to the cake, trying to figure out which parts would be the best, and his mouth began to salivate. Logan knew that his mum was going to get the first piece, but he was going to make every effort to get the next best piece. There was, however, a bit of a hold up when it came to why the cake wasn't being cut already. The boy's head turned toward the two adults and his eyes rolled.

"Gross! You two can do that later. We've got a cake to eat!" he loudly remarked.

FearlessLeader19 · 03-27-2023, 11:11 PM

Nova watched her parents get all lovey dovey and goo goo eyed over each other and shook her head. She wasn’t sure how she felt about relationships in general {which would heavily explain why she kept blowing off Kennedy’s advances}. She wanted to believe in love and romance but they didn’t interest her. The aspiring Auror figured that she might be a late bloomer or otherwise, she was just a weirdo. Either way, she didn’t care.

A skeptical eyebrow was raised at her brother. Seriously? When was he ever this nice? Nova figured Logan must want something, but that wasn’t her business. As long as whatever he wanted had nothing to do with her, of course.

“Cake, cake cake!’’ Nova chanted. Come on, Mama! Make a wish and blow the candles out!

*Kolyander* · 04-14-2023, 02:15 PM

Bryony was on her very bestest behavior. Everyone was seeing this, right? She was joining in and singing along.. not screaming loudly either like someone else was. Sure she was super excited about the cake but she wasn't getting in the way or anything and actually waiting a smidge off to the side so as not to get nudged out of the way again by Logan. Annnnnnnd she wasn't even bothered by their parents kisses... this time. Look at her being super mature!

Maybe her good behavior was because she was up to something. Maybe it wasn't. One could never really be too certain when it came to Bryony Rose Paton. It was cake time now though, right?

"Some might get in your mouth," was the comment the came from Hady about wasting cake if she smashed it in his face. Really it would be very worth it. But she would be nice, this time. Maybe.

This mama's smile was bright as she listened to her babies singing. They were perfect angels, did they know? Obviously they all did. Barely had she been given the chance to blow out all of the candle upon the cake, yes there were quite a few, now hush about that!, then lips were on hers. Ahem.. pardon them a moment here children.

Yes, yes, now it was time to cut the cake! Before the kids pitched a fit. "Who wants some cake?!" A whispered charm was used to magically cut the cake into equal pieces. for them all. "Who choose the cake? It's absolutely perfect." Just like everything else.

Scene 2: Christmas Excitement In the Snow

Paton Household, Hogsmeade
December 23, 2110

Christmas was around the corner, and with the Paton siblings home, there was bound to be chaos around the house. As it was, Frankie and Hady now had some relief as the siblings had planned to take their chaotic energy outdoors. In the snow. The very cold, wet snow.

Characters:
Nova Paton (FearlessLeader19)
Melody Paton (SilverTiger)
Logan Paton (Zoe)
Bryony Paton (Kolyander)

Her siblings were slow, Nova decided as she stared up at the clouds. They did promise to join her out here in the snow yet she was the first one out here making snow angels. Still, the oldest Paton child didn’t mind. She could enjoy the peace. She could reflect on the fact that soon she’d be graduating from Hogwarts and off to University. She could mentally double check that she’d gotten all the presents wrapped.

Hmmm.

There was so much Nova could think about that didn’t involve her worrying if Logan would fart on her or if Bryony would spill something on her. The only sibling who seemed to behave {other than herself, of course}was Melody. In that moment, Nova never appreciated Melody more.

Excuse anyone of her older siblings that thought she was slow. She was not. Truth be told, This nearly eleven year old, Paton child was already dressed and all that she had to do was pull on her outdoor winter clothing. This was where it may have taken her a minute or two or uhhhh, five. Her pink snow overall had to be put on a long with her pink and white coat, matching boats, gloves and hat.

Once she was all bundled up, Bry bounded outside with her Bacon in tow (the Jarvey sporting a little mini winter coat). Here she was, the second one out side.. and not knocking anyone over either! "Nova, I'm here." Bry beamed up at her oldest sister. "Can we start now?" Or did they really have to wait for the others?

Was Logan being slow or was he just up to something? The latter was most certainly happening. Sure, he might have been the last of the kids to get outside, but that was because he purposefully had to make his way out the front and sneak around the house undetected. He had a surprise of sorts for his sisters.

He was not alone. Beans was with him too, which either could go one of two ways: he would either stay by his side the entire time, or the doof would run blow his cover in some way. That was another reason why the blond had taken a little longer than the others to venture into the snow. He had to bring plenty of treats to keep the dog chill. So far, so good.

But, of course, the crup was getting impatient with the gradual distribution of treats and was getting excited by hearing the voices of the other Paton children from around the corner. If one were to listen ever so carefully, they might just hear Beans whimper.

"Beans, shh," Logan hissed, holding out a treat. Once it had been immediately wolfed down, the boy then returned his attention to something he needed to collect. There, in a nook of an old tree by their house, was a stash of snowballs he had been keeping safe for a moment such as this.
