08. First Crush

Allyson Davies was most certainly not following Arcturus MacMillian around Diagon Alley. Except she was completely. “Allllly. You promised to take me to get my school supplies!” Giada whined tugging on her sleeve as she stared into the window of the shop that Archie was currently in. “And I will, I’m busy at the moment.”

“Busy stalking Archie MacMillian. You should just tell him you like him already.”

“Hush you! Hush!” Ally said turning away from window. “Here! Take this money and go get your books. I’ll meet you there in like twenty minutes.” she shoved some galleons in Giada’s hands and shooed her off. She was just getting in the way as ickle sisters did. She just didn’t understand. You couldn’t just go up to Arcturus MacMillian and say, ‘hey I like you.’

No. Archie was classy and dignified. There was proper etiquette on how do these sorts of things. That and really, what were the chances that a seventh year Gryffindor would go for a fifth year Ravenclaw girl who hadn’t said more than five sentences to him. Ever. Okay. She could do this. Just walk into the store. Find him. Say hello. They were in like four clubs together. It wouldn’t be that strange.

Except when she walked into the store she walked right into him, causing him to drop his purchases. Oh this day was just not going her way at all. She was finally going to say something after three years of pining and she just barges right into him. How ungraceful.

“Ah I’m s-so s-sorry. I didn’t see you there.” She stuttered out dropping down to help pick up his things, horribly embarrassed. So much for just saying hello.

“It’s okay, I wasn’t paying close attention to where I as going either.” Archie said kneeling down next to her to help gather everything that was now scattered on the floor. Ally was blushing bright red as he took back his things from her. Trying to form sentences. Words. Anything. But she was to slow because before she could even manage another sorry he was standing back up.

He offered her a hand to help her back up. “Thanks. Sorry I ran into you Archie.” she said sheepishly. And he looked at her with a bit surprise that she knew his name. “We are in Charms club together...”

“Oh yea that’s right, Allyson, is it?” he asked and if it was possible she turned even redder as she nodded. “Well I have to go, lots of errands to run. Perhaps I’ll see you at school.” He said politely.

“Oh yea, Errands.” she said finally remembering her sister that she sent off moments before. “I have those too. See you later.” she gave him a small wave trying her best to contain her internal freak out until after he was gone. Archie knew her name! Which meant he had actually noticed her at some point in time. This year she was definitely going manage to say more than just hello. Ahh, today was definitely a good day.

18. Flustered

Allyson almost tripped over the sudden small person standing in front of her tugging on her skirt. “Auntie Ally! Auntie Ally! Roger has---”

“Mum! Mum! Logan took ----” Lynne interrupted only to be interrupted by her twin skidding into the kitchen.

“She said we could use it. For our game.”

“Did not!”

“Did too!”

“Auntie Ally Auntie Ally!” Tabitha tried again cutting over the ‘did too’s and the ‘did not’s that her twins were still going at. “Roger has a sword and has started a war.” The little girl took her aunt’s hand to pull her to the door leading to the living room. And Ally just allowed herself to be pulled. “See.”

Oh, she saw alright. Ally wished she could unsee the mess her living room had become. Cushions pulled off the couch and chair, make shift forts were made. Patrick was chasing Jackson around the room, Abigail and Emily were hiding in one of the forts plotting who knew what, and Roger, Allyson was going to kill that boy, was standing on the end table, hands on his hips, just as if he were ruler of all he saw.

“Oh my--” Lyssandra let out as followed her from the kitchen. Lynne and Logan pushed past the two adults, their apparent argument now over, and joined the fray of what was a boy versus girl war.

“CHILDREN!” And all the kids froze and turned to look at Allyson. This is why she was hesitant to host Christmas dinner this year. All eight of the Vance off spring should never ever be in the same room unsupervised. Allyson had Lyssandra helping her make dinner and sent Giada to the store to pick up a forgotten ingredient.

She should of known better than to leave the men in charge of the children. Ally looked her eldest, who was smart enough to crawl off her end table and take off his crown. “Sword.” Roger handed it over staring at the floor. “Where is your father?”

“Are you going to stab him with the sword?” Roger asked, not wanting to rat out his dad if it lead to his death. It was rare to see his mum look so angry. “Uncle Patrick said it was for playing not for stabbing.” She had to know the rules of having it.

“I’ll stab you with it, if you don’t start organizing a clean up this instant. Where is your father?”

“Watching the game with Uncle Patrick and Graeme in the study,” he said quickly before turning to wrangle his younger siblings and cousins, knowing better than to invoke the wrath of his mother. She made her way to Sam’s study, with her arms folded, she stood in the doorway waiting until she was seen. Graeme was the first to notice, and elbowed Sam hard, getting both his and Patrick’s attention. At least they had the decency to look sheepish.

“Care to tell me why there were eight unsupervised children in my living room?”

“Er, I left Roger in charge?” Sam answered trying his best too look like he hadn’t just got caught.

“Are you sure that’s the answer you are going to go with, as Roger is twelve and he had a sword?”

“Uh. I’m going to go help clean up the mess.” He tried again.

“Much better.” She said stepping aside to let him pass. “You two can go help too, as I’m pretty sure you gave Roger the sword,” she pointed it at Patrick, then turned to Graeme, “and you didn’t tell them this was a terrible idea.”
