Who: Momo and D :]
Where: The Leaky, duhhhh
When: Monday morning
What: Sibling love, what else?

Moses sat at the bar of the Leaky, drinking a cup of coffee and thinking about the events of the past few weeks. He was back home for a while, something he sorely enjoyed. It was frustrating to be off the case in Mexico, there was no doubt, but he was secretly tickled pink about all the newly found free time to spend with his siblings and with Harmony. There was lots of extra free time with her--Merlin, he loved that. There'd been a brief period of time where he thought things between them would die down, fizzle out, all because of his line of work. But they'd made it through it. And now--well, he had plenty of time at home now, didn't he? He made a mental note to send something to Harmony later in the day and to take her to dinner later on in the week.

He feebly scratched at his knee, wincing a bit at the pain from it. He'd got caught up in a nasty trap and the healers still weren't too sure what to do about it. He could use his leg just fine, no problem, but it bloody hurt when he walked on it and you could still see the black charring on it--at least, if he wore short legged trousers you could. There was no point in showing off the battle scar around mum and Miranda; the two of them would worry sick if they knew just how bad it was. He smiled a bit when he heard a familiar trampling down the stairs. She'd never learned to properly walk down stairs, in a quiet and normal fashion had she?

"I've said it before, Mir, but if you continue to fly down the stairs like that all the guests will think we've got a cockatrice loose," he said with a smirk before taking another large gulp of coffee.

She stared at her brother as he spoke, shoulders going up and down as she attempted to control her breaths. Miranda wanted to tell Moses everything, she wanted to tell him that Ralph's family was a target of death eaters, she wanted to tell him that they had decided to stick through it together. It didn't bother her, she'd known about the Arrows' invitation for weeks now, but when she was reminded like this...

"I can't take the invite," she said hoarsely, managing to hold back her tears. Miranda looked down at the letter in her hands and slumped further back against the wall, "And--I'm okay with that, honest, I just---get flustered and---"

She pursed her lips, trying to find a good way to explain this without getting her brother too worried, because then the questions would start and she wouldn't be able to keep everything from him for long. "But---it's for personal reasons."

Personal reasons? Personal...NO. There was no way that--"MIRANDA DAISY DODDERIDGE, YOU BETTER NOT BE--OHHHH, WHEN THAT FUCKING BOYFRIEND OF YOURS COMES AROUND," He growled angrily. That bastard had--his kid sister was pregnant? Moses refused to believe that Miranda wasn't old enough to kiss boys, let alone shag them and be up the spout. Right. It was settled, Ralph was going to propose to Miranda and marry her. And before that, Moses was going to knock his bloody lights out. The smarmy bastard, who did he think he was, getting his sister--his ONLY sister--pregnant????

"I thought you were smarter than that, Miranda. I thought you'd know that--that you don't give up what you want and your--your future--just because some...just because some bloke can't keep it in his bloody pants!" Moses wasn't angry at Miranda, really. But bloody hell, how had this happened?

Her face contorted into one of mass confusion. What was he screaming about? She better not be---

Miranda's eyes widened and she let out a shriek, jumping to her feet with her hands flailing about, "I'M NOT PREGNANT! OH MY GOD, MOSES!"

She let out another shriek and covered her face with her hands, knowing she was quaffle red and ugh. Okay--just because two of her roommates had gotten pregnant doesn't mean that she had to be stupid and--

"Ralph and I don't even---" oh God, that lie came out so quick, didn't it? Miranda stomped her foot and threw her hands down, still very red in the face. Brothers were really dumb sometimes. "Thanks for assuming, Moses, makes me feel great!"

Oh, like he really wanted to have that conversation with his kid sister. What was he supposed to think, Miss It's-for-personal-reasons, huh??? She was just lucky he hadn't apparated until he found that bloody boyfriend of hers and taught him a thing or two about respecting a girl and--well, no matter. It was a moot point.

Moses sighed, leaning his forehead on the wall Miranda had previously been leaning against. "Sorry, D. I just--assumed the worst." So if she wasn't pregnant, what was the big deal? It couldn't be something horrible could it? "Have you suddenly developed a hatred for your favorite team or something? Or are you protesting the game on account of some teams' chauvinistic ways? I just--you can't just. That's a chance to play professional Quidditch, Miranda. If there's something that's holding you back that much, it can't be good." That was the fact of the matter in Moses' eyes. Something big was up. Something that was beyond his control and he didn't like being unable to play the protective big brother.

Maddox wasn't normally one to drop in on his sibling's conversations... It was very common for Miranda to be yelling about something, and he usually liked to stay out of the arguments that took place between Miranda and Moses. And even though he wasn't sure if they were arguing, she was definitely yelling. And seeing how he had only caught one particular word that almost made him fall down the stairs, he was going to have to investigate.

Running down the rest of the steps he skidded to a halt as he got into the same room, hearing only the last part of Moses' speech since the sound of his footsteps blocked out the rest of his words. ...-it can't be good. "What?!" Maddox said suddenly, his voice a bit more high pitched than normally. He looked over at Miranda with wide eyes, looking very confused and very stunned and just...

"You're pregnant?!"

"It's---I---I can't and---it's none of your---"

Miranda puffed her cheeks greatly, a sight reminiscent of when she used to hold her breath to try and persuade people to give her what she wanted, but she was definitely not attempting that right now (not after the last time when she passed out, haaa). She just couldn't find the words and Miranda quickly let out a frustrated breath, ready to put on the immature teenager and act storm away so that Moses could stew and then a few days later they'd be okay and----

"HOLY SHIT I'M NOT PREGNANT!" she shrieked at Maddox, who had appeared from nowhere. Her voice had gone so shrilly that she was sure the dogs in the neighborhood were going to start howling. "THANK YOU GUYS SO FUCKING MUCH FOR HAVING SO MUCH FAITH IN ME I HATE BOTH OF YOU GOODBYE!"

With a very loud, frustrated squeal of annoyance, she stormed away, quite sure that her brothers were going to follow her and also quite sure that she'd woken up every patron staying at the Leaky and that her parents were going to reprimand her and-----"YOU GUYS ARE SO STUPID!" she shouted over her shoulder.

Moses sighed, now rubbing his hand on his forehead. "Thank you, Maddox. Really." Now that he couldn't hear, he...sigh, he needed to take care of Miranda. She wasn't going to run off on him because she was too upset to just stew and--no, she'd do something stupid. She was a Dodderidge. Something stupid would happen because of this. Grabbing his wand, he apparated himself to the top of the stairs, deciding to wait for her there rather than hobbling after her with his leg. He didn't not have faith in her, it was just--well, the world was crazy now. Girls were getting pregnant all the time and Miranda wasn't a little kid anymore. When he was her age, he'd already shagged a girl so--he didn't want to think about it, but she probably'd done it before. So...it wasn't stupid to think that maybe it had happened. Not stupid at all, he decided. He sat at the top stair, trying to take up as much of the landing as possible so she couldn't just walk past him (definitely banking on her not thinking to apparate around him).

He swallowed roughly as she began to yell at him, looking like someone who had just gotten smacked across the face. Watching her storm past him, he made a vowel noise in his throat, only to get cut off by Moses’ little comment. Eyes narrowed as looked at his younger brother. “Do me a favor and shut up…” He grumbled as he took his pointer finger and twisted it in his ear, which was now ringing due to the shrill pitch of Miranda’s voice. Watching as Moses popped out of the room, he moved over to follow his sister by foot into the other room. “Miranda! Miranda, I’m sorry I only heard bits and pieces of the conversation going on in here, got a very bad combination of words, and just…I don’t know!” He fumbled with his words, his hands flying around to display how flustered he was, even though he was still following after her and she wasn’t looking at him.

She didn't even notice Moses sitting on the steps until she was eye-to-eye with him, and that elicited another shriek, and that made her turn around only to see that Maddox was hot on her trail and oh my God, it was like they were born to drive her crazy!

"I---! You! ARGH!" she let out in frustration, throwing her back against the wall of the stairwell, glad that this one didn't have handrails because that would have hurt. "Fine, okay? I'll---"

Miranda knew she couldn't tell them what was really going on, but she had to give her brothers enough details to get them off her back. Which...would probably be every detail EVER but she had to try.

"I'm not pregnant, first off, let me just clarify that," she said as obnoxiously as possible, sending a pointed look toward both Maddox and Moses, "Secondly, to catch up Maddox, I am not accepting the invitation from the Arrows because of personal reasons. Yes they have to do with Ralph, no it does not involve a baby or an engagement or a marriage."

She looked back and forth her brothers again, trying to see if they were keeping track, "You two are just going to have to trust me when I say it is for the best, and that things will be fine, but it's my decision and I am keeping to it."

Miranda wiggled in place for a moment, arms crossed tightly. Quickly, she stamped her foot down, "So there."

"What on earth could be--you're not the Dodderidge with people trying to--that's not." Moses sighed. "You shouldn't have to change your--" He couldn't even form a full sentence without giving away his own secret. He'd kept it quiet from Maddox, which was a bloody miracle let me tell you. He just--if there were things wrong with. He needed to know what was going, he--he had to protect her, for some reason. Merlin, that's--he had a problem, didn't he?

"Who's to say that whatever this problem you have isn't going to have some sort of adverse effect on the rest of the family, D? Wouldn't it be better to just--just let us know so we can....can help out with whatever the problem is?"
