Kat Potter-Tripp stood in the kitchen a cup of hot tea in her hands as she looked through the window out into the backyard. There was a tree towards and back and a river ran a bit beyond the tree. She gave a small sigh of content turning back to the kichen behind her. The house Brent and she had bought a few years ago was not anywhere near in size of the Mannor her parents owner or as small as the appartment her sister Lily lived in. It was perfectly comfortable and cozy for two people and even had 2 guest rooms in case anyone wanted to stay over. Brent was still sleeping but Kat had been up for about 20 minutes. She was glad it was Saturday because as much as she loved her job as an unspeakable everyone needed a break. She closed her eyes and let out another content sigh as she sipped her tea.

Loud yelling was heard from Brent's bedroom, followed by a muttered curse (the swearing kind) and a magic curse. Something blew up, and a few minutes later, Brent walked out into the kitchen. "Morning." He said sleepily, sitting down.

Kat laughed opening her eyes, "And what was the cause of this mornings curses, both magical and not?" She asked taking her left hand and waving her wand as a cup of coffee, eggs, toast and pancakes flew down gracefully landing in front of Brent and then a spot her herself minus the coffee. She sat down at the table, "Fall off the bed again?" She asked with a smirk spreading grape jelly on her toast.

"No." Brent said. "Jake sent another Howler. Apparently it was *urgent* and he *couldn't wait* the extra half hour for me to get up and talk to him." He added, drinking some coffee. "But I made it explode before it could say anything else...oops." He smirked.

Kat laughed, "He's damn lucky I wasn't still sleeping." Kat said with a smile, "Because cursing would be the LEAST of his problems. Of course...I could always respond with a Howler of my own at 5 am to Natalie telling her to keep him in line and to stop sending Howlers to us in the morning. Because while I scare him a bit, a tired, awoken Natalie...scares him more." She said with a small laugh. "But it's time to get up anyways. It's a beautiful day, and why waist it sleeping?" She asked.

"I'm not gonna answer that." Brent said, smiling. "I wouldn't send a howler, I'd send a blow torch..." He said, staring off into space. "Or at least a fire siren." After another sip of coffee, he asked, "What time is it?"

Kat laughed, "And about 9 am." She said, "On a Saturday I know, but it really is a great day outside. And you have been gone for 2 weeks on your last raid anyways." She said.
//Totally random excuse...but it works.//

Brent nodded. "So...what should we do after breakfast?" He asked, eating his pancakes.

Kat shrugged, "We could hang around here, do some yard work or something. Or we could go out and visit one of the families, or just go out and hang out somewhere. It's your choice. You're the one who's been gone for two weeks." She said.

"Hmm...how's Lily doing? Busy with her Quidditch and whatnot?" He asked, taking another bite of pancakes. "And I was thinking of going to WWW to see if they have anything deadly...then we can go visit Jake." He said.

Kat nodded, "Lily's about to tear her hair out I guess. They had their first practice yesterday. 3 people feel off their brooms and two ended up in St. Mungo's. I guess Olivia their star chasser broke her ankle and sprained her wrist and Benji their keeper got a few...or a tooth knocked out." Kat said shaking her head, "And practice only lasted about 20 minutes before all this happened. And sure, but I don't think my uncles have invented anything dealy lately. They have actually been keeping it more embarassing then deadly lately." She said with a laugh.

"I'll have to have a talk with them about that." Brent joked. "Three fell off? Because of Bludgers, or just clumsiness?" He asked, finishing the pancakes and moving on to the eggs.

"I guess Benji, the keeper, threw the quaffle loppsided. Olivia tried to catch it, and fell. Benji tried to catch Olivia...and fell....and Rebecca tried to catch Benji and Olivia...and fell." Kat said shaking her head. "Lily checked on Olivia. She'll be fine in about 4 days, but Lily sounded close to tears when she told me." Kat said.

"I'm hoping you didn't make any remark having to do with dominoes when you were talking to Lily..." Brent said.

Kat shook her head, "No..actually...that night she came over cause she knew you were out of town and brought two bottles of firewhiskey. We locked the doors and got bombed as we traded stories and memories." Kat said with a smile, "The best solution to a REALLY bad day."

"I'm so glad I have such a responsible wife...at least you locked the doors though." Brent said.

Kat laughed, "You married a Potter...what do you expect?" She asked laughing again, "Besides, my sister was in distress, no one else was home. We made sure we couldn't leave the house, and I had a batch of hangover potions ready for the morning after." She said. "Responsible...no....smart...hell yeah." Kat said with a proud smile.

"Typical Ravenclaw, eh?" Brent smiled. "So is Lily feeling better now, or still a little...what's the word..." Brent trailed off.

"Of course I'm a Ravenclaw. I did beat you in N.E.W.T.s." She said, "And Lily is feeling better. She says she has a couple new plays and is going to make sure everyone is at their top before the beging of the season." Kat explained.

"That's good, and you only beat me by one. I had all the ones I needed, so why bother extra work? Plus, I beat you in OWLs." Brent said.

"Because you're an Auror...and I'm an unspeakable...and I make twice as much as you." Kat said with a smile, "And you only beat me in O.W.L.'s because I had the flu for two weeks before I got WAY behind on my study scedual!" Kat said.

"Which is of course very unlike the NEWT situation...afterall, I only got called off on Order business for a week and a half..." Brent said.

"And who's choice was it to join the year BEFORE you graduate?" Kat asked looking at him, "I couldn't help being sick. It was your choice to sign up with the order." She said with a shrug.

"Depends on how you look at it. If one of the most powerful wizards of the time asks if you could join him in the Order, are you going to say no?" He asked.

"If he's my father...yes...I do. Actually...I tell him no all the time. I think the last time I told him no was when I was 13 and I told him no and to pull his head out of his bloody arse cause it was stuck so far up there he couldn't see the light of day, stormed into my room, locked the door and blasted heavy metal rock for about 3 hours as I read a book." She said thinking back.
