After Regulus had nearly drowned in an unfortunate accident, only to be saved by
the quick thinking of Teddy and Victoire, Mia had insisted that magical barriers be erected
all around the manor.
"You off to work?" she asked him, and he silently confirmed that he was. "Before
I forget, I don't think it's smart to bring Reggie to the shop with you anymore."
Sirius whined, "He loves watching me work on the bikes, though."
Mia kissed his pouting lips. "I know, love, but he's displaying accidental magic more
and more these days, and we've talked about this. You bought a Muggle motorbike shop.
Where Muggles are the majority of your customer base. I'm not going to have a situation
like Ron and Daphne got in when Rose accidentally set a clothing rack on fire in the middle
of a shopping centre."
"Fine," Sirius grumbled, "but you have to be the bad guy and be the one to tell him."
Mia rolled her eyes. "Have a good day—Oh, remember my shift at St Mungo's
changes next Tuesday, and then there's the Wizengamot meeting on Wednesday and―"
She stopped speaking when a silvery Patronus flew in through the window.
The large dragon perched itself on the nearby table, and when its mouth opened,
Draco's voice spoke: "If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd like for you both to come down to the
orphanage."
"I don't like that tone," Mia said looking up at Sirius.
"I can open the shop an hour late." He tapped his wand on a charmed set of keys
to the shop, triggered to magically adjust the sign out front when hours needed to be
changed due to family emergencies.
"Aunt Hermione!" A red-headed boy launched himself into her arms the moment
she and Sirius stepped out of the fireplace and into the Malfoy Children's Home.
Mia held him tightly and kissed his head. "Hugo, where's Uncle Draco?"
"Upstairs with Aunt Tori," he answered. "There was a splosion."
"An explosion?" Mia's eyes widened in shock, wondering why Draco had not
sounded more worried. As a Healer, she expected to be called in by Draco—and had been
often over the years—when there were accidents at the orphanage.
