Erika sat in the corner, her hair pulled back and her daughters sat at her feet, waiting for the chance to play. Ostara raised her arms pitifully, and Erika smiled as she picked up the child, balancing her on her knees while Asoda chewed on the corner of a book. Sammi was at work, leaving the nineteen year old to fend for herself with her children, as Erika studied some of the newer spellwork she needed to know. As matron, she had to keep on top of all illnesses and cuts, as well as ways to heal them. Which was harder than it sounded since people would occasionally fake an illness with no known cure to get out fo class.
Oddly enough, Erika didn't get mad when this happened. She just laughed, gave the student a warning and sent them either back to class or let them stay and continue their dodging, while she told them what they would need to know about the class they were missing. Regarded by most students as another friend to add to their list, Erika didn't worry too much about friendship or company. There was always a first year who wanted to talk, or a seventh year wanting advice, so she had something to do. It was in the rare moments when she was alone with her daughters that Erika allowed her mind to drift over the people she knew. Most people from the third year up remembered Erika from her time at school, given it had been just two years ago. She was lucky that the head had allowed her to return so soon.

Tony ran a frustrated hand through his curly hair, so she had been wrong to think the last girl he dated and accutally thought he might like had to much time on her hands to stick around him...well fine then. he thought grudgingly folding his arms maybe he should just give up he had one child, married once and lost a baby before it was even born...that seems like a life time and he was also a grandfather to his child...yup maybe he should retire. At even only 22 he sure felt like a old cranky man. Tony thought kicking a rock on his way forwards he looked aorund in silence his mind rushing with the same sorta depressive thoughts untill he spotted a women with blonde hair, she just...caught his attention more then anything else on this planet and set him crazy! he chewed his lower lip forgetting everything else around him and made a right up confident approuch...maybe he was crazy and Tony knew what he wanted when he wanted it..and she looked like someone he really could get to know right now untill he was standing before her. "hello my dear." he said in a quiet voice.

Erika was pulled out of her musings by a quiet voice. "Hello my dear". Looking up, she was met by the sight of a man with dark hair. "Um, hello," she smiled uncertainly, pulling Asoda onto her lap beside Ostara protectively. Her blue eyes were kind, but a voice in the back of her mind was reminding her about the last time someone had spoken to her while she was alone with her daughters. "Can I help you with something?"

"Um, hello," ,"Can I help you with something?" Tauschung realised his sudden approuch seemed to have made her uncomfortable he blushed and stared down at the two girls held protectivly by what must be there mother, so she had children. he thought smiling looking back to her eyes,"my names Tony..i just...i was alone and i saw you and i thought i might as well be friendly and come over and say hello." he said watching her curiously,"do you happen to live in a viillage names Hogsmede...i swear i've seen you around before." he said stuying her face a bit.

"my names Tony..i just...i was alone and i saw you and i thought i might as well be friendly and come over and say hello." Erika frowned before smiling warmly. "I'm sorry, I get very protective of my girls," she explained, releasing Asoda and watching her crawl over to Tony. Technically, at two years old, the infants should have been walking and doing a bit of talking. The talking they had mastered sort of, although Asoda seemed to have difficulty and preferred to mime. Walking on the other hand.... Ostara didn't walk. Asoda didn't walk. The twins would just crawl around, perfectly content. Shaking her head as he spoke again, Erika returned her attention to the man.
"do you happen to live in a village names Hogsmeade...i swear i've seen you around before." "Yes I do. Rosegate Cottage, the odd little house," she smiled. "With my sister Sammi. Oh, but of course, I haven't told you my name!" Erika laughed and stood up, Ostara on her hip. "Hello Tony, my name is Erika and I am the matron at Hogwarts. These two are Ostara and Asoda, my daughters," she added, nodding at the children in turn. "If you ever need to know the difference, Ostara wears green."

The women stold and he watched the girls clutching to there mother and the other crawling, he dind't know anything of children really he dind't have to raise Drop his daughter when she was a child someone else did which he could neevr forgive himself for really. "Yes I do. Rosegate Cottage, the odd little house," ,"With my sister Sammi. Oh, but of course, I haven't told you my name!",. "Hello Tony, my name is Erika and I am the matron at Hogwarts. These two are Ostara and Asoda, my daughters,","If you ever need to know the difference, Ostara wears green." He took her hand gentally and smiled,"ah thats probley how i reconized you then My sister Tant works at HOgwarts as well i think she does history or something...I have a daughter but she is 14 now and is taking care of herself and her own daughter." his face scrunched up, his life was a bit complicated and sad.

"I've never been to the HogsHead, by the time Sammi thought she could trust me with going to a pub alone, I was pregnant with these two, so couldn't." She thought back over the teachers and then nodded. "Ah, Professor Kemp the history of magic teacher, is your sister then," she smiled.

"You don't look old enough to have a fourteen year old daughter," Tony smiled and nodded,"i know but i was a rather naughty boy." he said making a face,he had chose to spend the ngiht with his best friend but he dind't know of Drops being untill she was 11 even she had just 'turned up' and introducedherself as he naughter, by then the mother was already dead but Tony knew Sarah's((Drops mother)) reasons for hiding Drops being.
"I've never been to the HogsHead, by the time Sammi thought she could trust me with going to a pub alone, I was pregnant with these two, so couldn't.",Ah, Professor Kemp the history of magic teacher, is your sister then," "yes that is her and yeah i remember most faces who come into hogshead bar and i have neevr seen you." he agreed.

,"i know but i was a rather naughty boy""yes that is her and yeah i remember most faces who come into hogshead bar and i have neevr seen you." Asoda had grown bored of crawling and was now attempting to climb up Tony's leg, the frustration evident on her face when she couldn't. Laughing to herself, Erika adjusted Ostara and shrugged. "You'll know Sammi then, even if you don't realise it. Whenever she isn't on baby duty she is in there."

Tony looked down at the girl,"ah...can i pick her up?" he asked before looking back towards the girl who had asked a question he hadn't answered first. "oh umm i may know her face, might not the name through." he answered back with a briefe smile trying to place a name to the face.

"ah...can i pick her up?" "Of course, you're less likely to drop her then I am," Erika laughed, shifting Ostara to her other hip.
"oh umm i may know her face, might not the name through." Erika smiled. "Tall, blonde, about your age, looks pretty tired all the time," she listed, rocking the toddler back and forth in an attempt to quiet her as she began to wriggle.

Tony picke dup the child carfully and craddled her a bit also on Tonys hip through much less curvent then the childs mother no doubt the child must be use to the womens feeling when she picked he rup, there might be a bit of differece with Tony's more broad build body.
"Tall, blonde, about your age, looks pretty tired all the time," His green eyes looked up thoughtfully,"ah..well yes i think i might know that face." he said lacing one in his mind nodding slightly,

,"ah..well yes i think i might know that face." Erika smiled. "Even if you don't, you do now," she laughed, watching Asoda closely for any signs of her being scared of the stranger holding her. Her worry seemed in vain though, the child was laughing and reaching out for Tony's hand, giggling and chatting absolute gibberish.

. "Even if you don't, you do now," Tony gave a grin back in responds to her cheerful attitude it made him happy, his eyes went to the little girl in his arms,"Hello darling." he smiled as she held his hand and he watch her grip onto it with firm tiny fingers, it was adoriable sight.
"so when do these two turn three?"

"so when do these two turn three?" Erika rolled her eyes. "March 21st, they were born on the pagan holiday Ostara. Hence this little madam's name," she smiled, nodding to the girl who had now crawled down her mother and was sat on the floor. "Asoda was born March 22nd, but we celebrate on the 21st. Saves time, really."
