Connor Anders and Addison Donovan disliked each other from the moment they met each other on the Hogwarts Express during their very first ride to Hogwarts. Though they eventually dated and became married to each other, their path to that part of their lives was a rocky one.
Scenes 1 to 13 can be found here. These were completed prior to the cyber attack on Snitchseeker. Scene 14: Koen has managed to calm Reagan down after her breakdown and is about to ask her an important question regarding his wedding. Scene 15: It’s the summer of 2109. Charlie has officially moved to Britain and it’s moving day at his and his mother’s new house. Scene 16: December 2109 is upon them. Jude really wants to talk to Keighley about something very important, and is waiting anxiously for her to descend from the fifth year girls’ dorms. Scene 17: Night of the End of Term Feast 2110. Keighley and Jude talk about how sad Keighley really is that Jude is graduating and moving out over the summer and going off to university. Scene 18: There is something nagging at Connor concerning his older daughter and he was rather angsty to discuss it today. Scene 19: Summer of 2111: Keighley has only recently returned home after completing her sixth year at Hogwarts. Jude and Davet have a surprise for her, on her first evening at their apartment. Scene 20: Fall of 2112: With three out of four of their children no longer living at home and the fourth mostly attending university and practicing constantly for auditions, Connor and Addison have become a bit lonely. So what better way to fix this than to adopt an adorable little crup! Scene 21: February of 2114: Olivia and Keigh are having a movie night at Liv’s place, but little does she know that Keigh has some tough news to break to her.

Whatever would come, Olivia would face it but not at this moment. This moment was reserved for lightly bantering about their movie choice for this evening. However, this banter was now resolved as a movie was settled upon. Yay! The only aspect of said movie Liv disliked was the moment Mufasa died. Aside from the death being incredibly sad, seeing little Simba heartbroken and scared was just too much. “Aw, man!” Liv pouted playfully. “I guess I had better pace myself then.” The Chaser would be way too lazy to remake snacks. Truthfully, she had made enough for both her and Keighley and Liv realised she really did need to pace herself lest she was overcome with a bout of food coma.
She settled happily against her seat, hitting the button that activated the back massage. Back massages were lovely after being on a broomstick for an extended period of time. Absently tapping on Keigh’s leg, she focused on the screen.
Yes, whatever was coming can wait for a tad longer.

When that time came, Liv wouldn't have to face it alone. Keighley might be the one dropping some heavy news tonight but she would also be the one to hold the girlfriend together and assure her that all would be the same. But yes, the movie was now on and this blonde would agree that Mufusa's passing was the saddest part of the movie. It did bring Simba some new friends though and lots of personal growth. "That or at the very least share," Keighley laughed softly. Good thing there was more than enough snacks scattered around them both for several movies to be watched!
She settled very comfortably against Liv's side, her head leaning against her shoulder as she watched the movie. "Isn't Simba precious when he's first born! So small and sweet." Yes, she was one of those that would definitely want to pick up the tiny lion cub and give him a cuddle. Good thing this was only a movie!
As for those fingers tapping on her leg, Keigh gently took hold of Liv's hand and wrapped her fingers around the other young woman's giving it a small squeeze.

Olivia would need all of that holding together when the time came. Whatever her reaction, she would need it very dearly. With regard to the snacks, of course it had been settled that there would be lots of sharing. It was the way it always was between these two. As Keigh leaned against her, Liv gently booped her head against the other girl’s.
“He is! Such a cutie.” And the way his parents and all the other animals fell in love with him the moment they set their gaze on him? It was priceless. “Small and sweet like you,’’ Liv remarked truthfully and bobbing her head. She was also making a mental note to research zoos of the next country she would be visiting for her Quidditch matches. And she’d even check good old Britain too! Olivia would find a zoo where there were lion cubs and she’d take Keighley there. Yes, it was a great idea and she was already excited to get started on her plan.
With their fingers now intertwined, Liv returned the gentle squeeze in contentment.

Keighley would hold Liv together for as long as the other girl needed her to. Even if that was for the rest of time. All the love and reassurance was going to be given constantly. Them sharing snacks though, Keigh knew she was going to be sooooo stuffed by the end of the night. There was never any shortage of yummy treats when they watched movies together. The gentle boop of Liv's head against hers made her laugh softly, the girlfriend was so silly.
"The cutest! I just want to pick him up and cuddle him." Now how precious would that be?! Cuddling a little lion cub. "Me? Are you still saying that I'm tiny?" The blonde pretended she had no idea that she was indeed still on the shorter side of the two of them. Oooh, how fun! They could go visit ALL of the zoos together! They could watch the lions and the Cubs play and it would be the best time! Consider this girl all for it and she didn't even know of the plans yet.
Keigh happily held Livvy's hand in her eyes, blue eyes fixed on the TV screen as the movie played. She really didn't want to ruin such a lovely night.

If there was one thing Liv knew, it was that Keighley always took care of her heart. So she knew she was in good hands for any and all unfavourable news. And it was true that there was no shortage of snacks during movie time or any other time as both girls needed their calories to burn while participating in their respective sporting activities.
Liv wasn’t sure if Keigh would be allowed to cuddle a real lion cub but her reaction made Olivia far more determined that she get to see one at least once. “Yes, I am,’’ the older young woman replied, her eyes on the television but her voice full of humour. It was true: in her mind, the girlfriend was always a small one. Not that she minded as it just made Keighley perfect to cuddle.
Olivia simply kept her focus on the movie, enjoying each minute of it.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
True. True. Very very true. Liv was so smart, so trusting, so beautiful. There wasn't anything about her that Keigh didn't love. This is why it was so difficult sometimes to share news that she knew was going to upset her. Yet, it was going to have to be done. Right this minute though, this young woman was going to eat those snacks like they were all going out of style.
Hmm. As much as Keighley would LOVE to snuggle an adorable little baby lion cub, she could understand if that wasn't possible. Annnnnnnnd.... GASP! Soft blue eyes went wide and Keigh couldn't keep herself from playfully poking Liv in the side. "It's not my fault that you're taller than I am." Nope, she wasn't going to laugh!
The movie was currently being watched in between some playfulness and lots of snacking. The time was coming however for her to finally speak up and tell Liv what she needed to tell her.

No matter the type of news, especially bad news that involved either herself or Keighley, Olivia would always prefer to hear it from the girlfriend rather than anyone else. It might soften the blow. MIGHT, was the key word there. Feeling the poke in her side, Liv moved her gaze from the television to Keigh. She squirmed with laughter at the same time because… that tickled! She prodded the other woman back just once in the tummy. “Nope, it’s not. It’s all in the genes.” Liv grinned. “I’m quite happy you’re a shortie.”
It might be just her but the movie seemed to be going along at quite a fast pace. Then again, it was just about an hour and a half in length. Perhaps after she and Keigh were done here, Liv would finally get around to folding and putting away that load of laundry that had been done. Even with magic, the chore was a bothersome one.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
When any type of news was to be given, Keighley would always step up and deliver it herself. No matter, good of bad. It was her news to tell and anything about it was going to come from her. A small smile formed on her lips at hearing Liv laugh, however when she was poked back in return well.. that simply resulted in her flailing about and giggling right away. "Hey!" Playful swatting hands happened to keep anymore pokey fingers from getting her again even though she had been the one to start this game. "Well that's good because I rather enjoy it myself." Being short had its perks.
The movie did appear to be moving along rather quickly. Perhaps that was because the chat that was going to happen soon was one she didn't want to have. Laundry, hm? Keigh didn't mind helping out with that. If they worked on the chore together it would get done twice as fast. The blonde glanced over at her love and smiled.

Olivia could always count on Keighley to do what's right. This was usually the case with Hufflepuffs, and her Hufflepuff in particular. Oh, Liv would definitely let her fingers attack the little one with more pokes later on; the only reason she held off for now was so that they could continue enjoying the movie - and the snacks.
Catching Keigh’s smile, Liv returned it just as the credits started to roll. “That was a lovely rewatch,’’ she commented, stretching her arms above her head. “Maybe we can rewatch all of the Disney movies eventually. Live action and animated.” Cue more stretching from Olivia. “Okay, enough of being lazy for me. I’m just going to go clean up these dishes.” She tickled the bottom of Keighley’s feet to get her to move them off of her.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
So was the way of a Hufflepuff. It couldn't be helped. The sunny sweet disposition was so her, it wasn't even funny. Keighley couldn't do wrong even if she tried.. not that she would every want to. And when that time came, she would hopefully be ready to counter with all the pokes of her own.
The young woman's smile grew at the suggestion. "I love that idea. If we're going to watch the animated and live versions we'll have to watch those ones back to back so we can compare them." Only for fun of course. Despite all of the girlfriends stretching, Keigh didn't move at all. Well not until her feet were being tickled anyhow. There was immediate playful kicking of her feet while she giggled. "Heeeeey! Rude!" Flail!
Can those dishes wait a minute? I want to talk to you about something first..." Yup, it was gonna be now or never.

“Now that’s a great idea,” Olivia remarked enthusiastically. “I may be a little biased though since I do love animated movies.” Was it childish? Maybe, but they certainly made her happy so that was a win in her book. “That means that our next movie night we’ll watch the live action Lion King.” Liv was prepared for those natural reflexive kicks. With laughter, she prodded the bottom of Keigh’s feet once more. “I beg your pardon? It’s fun! Fun for me, that is.” It one hundred percent was!
And there it was.
The moment Olivia had sensed would be coming.
“Sure they can. What’s up?” She put on a nonchalant expression though her heart was hammering away.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Keigh smiled. "Isn't it?!" What fun they were going to have watching all of these movies. It also made things much easier when it came to movie selections for awhile. "Well so do I but I'll do my best to be fair." Some of the live action movies were pretty good. "Yup, and since we already know what we'll be watching.. we can make snacks to go with the movie." Childish, maybe but still really a lot of fun. Keighley was just as prepared. Prepared with peels of laughter and more flailing! "Livvy!" Playful kicky feet.
Sorry! She didn't want this moment to come up but it had to.
There was a soft but deep sigh, Keigh shifting slightly now to sit up a little bit. "Well.. there's no real easy way of telling you this so I'm just going to say it.. Charlie asked me to marry him and I said yes." It was always best to get all the information out there right away, yes? Give it a moment to sink in before she said anything more. Because she knew she was going to have to make sure Liv knew that it wasn't going to change things between the of them at all.

All playfulness and banter aside, Olivia was ready for whatever it was to come. She sat there looking expectantly at Keighley. That sigh that came from the girlfriend was not actually reassuring. If anything, it just made Olivia’s anxiety go up a notch. Her breath was held as she steeled herself and gave Keigh her undivided attention.
And there it was.
At first, Olivia felt nothing. It was sort of like when you stubbed a toe; the pain took about a second to sink in. So when the pain from Keighley’s words caught up with her, she felt every bit of it. It led to her being silent for a moment, and suddenly she wanted to be by herself. “That’s fine. I wouldn’t expect you to say no.” And with those words, she got to her feet to begin the cleanup.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Keighley hadn't meant to hike up Liv's anxiety the way she had before she had even said anything. But she could tell from the way she was being watched that the girlfriend knew this was a serious matter.
Now that it was out in the open, Keigh didn't expect.. that. Well she did, sorta. The moment of silence as everything had sunk in was expected, it was... Normal. The calm reply followed by Livvy getting up and walking off, now that wasn't expected. And she couldn't leave it this way.
"Liv? Liv.. come talk to me. We have to speak about this." Keigh reached out a hand to grab one of the girlfriends before she could rush off and be on her own.

Of course Keigh hadn’t meant to cause her any anxiety, and Olivia didn’t blame her. It was just there had been a vibe in the air all night; yes, she knew her girlfriend well enough to know when something serious was going on. Liv knew that they should sit and talk together, talk about how Liv was feeling and what-not but she wasn’t feeling it.
All she wanted was to be alone.
Her hand was caught but she didn’t meet Keighley’s eyes. She just couldn’t. “I’d like to be alone, Keigh. Please. I’m not ready to talk about this.” Liv needed to process and she needed to do this alone.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Thank goodness! Keigh never liked hurting Liv, but this couldn't be helped. Not tonight. As much as she has tried to keep everything about tonight light and happy, there had been a cloud hanging over them until the news was told. And now that it was out.. all she could do was what Livvy needed her to do.
Keigh bit her bottom lip when Liv didn't even look at her, her hand gently dropping from the girlfriends arm. "Okay.. I- Not too long please because we should talk about it... " She understood and respected the need to be alone though and would honor that. If Liv needed space, Keigh would give her all the space and time she could manage.

Liv felt relief the moment Keigh let go of her. She didn’t hate the girlfriend; it was impossible to. It was just… well, she needed time to herself. Not just needed; Olivia was certain she needed the entire night to let this news sink in. “We will talk about it. I’m just not ready to.” If they carried on that talk now, nothing was going to get through to Olivia. Absolutely nothing so it was simply for the best for her to be alone.
“I think I’ll need the entire night so if you wanted to go to your parents’ place or Jude’s? Or even to… his. That’s fine. I just want to be alone.” Olivia still would not look at Keighly as she picked up the last of the dishes and proceeded to venture into the kitchen.
