Silly Kids and Injuries ||Shelby||

[Briar Holmes]

"Dakota Bryant Vassler, I'm going to murder you when we get home," Briar whispered to the twelve year old Ravenclaw. Dakota was currently leaning against his twin sister for support while hopping down into the waiting room. He apparently didn't know how fast her own broom would go and fell off, breaking his leg. He insisted on coming to St. Mungos, for Merlin knows why.

"You're going to be in trouble," She heard her daughter, Molly, snicker over to him. He scowled then looked over at a nurse walking by, his eyebrows raising up. And then she knew why he wanted to come here to get it healed. "Don't stare, go sit down," She said to him with a frown.

Watching as he and Molly sat down, she walked up to the desk to sort everything out.

Oh the joys of having kids. Silly kids and their injuries, right?

[Shelby Crescent]

"Mum why do we always come here?" Vi asks as we walk out of one of many doctor's offices in St. Mungo's and enter the waiting room. "Mum. It hurts." James frowns, sticking out his bottom lip causing Shell to raise her eyebrows but with the same pout on her face.

Shell was in the dining room with Jenny going over the details for her graduation party when she heard a 'Look out' and then a burst of crying in the living room. Vi had decided to go down the banister without looking to see that her little brother was sitting on the bottom step, playing with his muggle toy cars. Vi ended up with a springed ankle and a couple stitches on her forhead, while James had a couple fingers broken.

"Let me see it." she says softly, kissing his fingers very lightly causing him to smile with those big brown eyes. "There's that smile." Shell smiles softly glancing over at the room, kissing his fingers again as she sees her godchildren sitting on a sofa. "Oh goodness." she says walking over and sitting next the both of them as she grimaced at his leg. "What did you do sweetie?"

[Briar Holmes]

Briar faked a good smile at the receptionist at the desk and walked back over to her kids, grumbling about never letting them around a broom again. That's why she never flyed, it was easier to apparate and floo to other places. Leave her on the ground anytime.

Looking at her sons leg, she grimaced. She hated when they got hurt, but atleast he wasn't crying. He took pain better than any twelve year old she knew. "They'll be with you soon," She mumbled, moving some of his brown hair out of his eyes. He said he was going to grow it out and cut it a certain way, it scared her. But atlwast he wouldn't look exactly like Logan. But who was she trying to fool? Besides the hair, he was a splitting image of her ex.

Looking up from her son, she smiled up at Shelby, "He says he didn't know how fast my broom would go and ended up falling off of it, way high up." Dakota looked over at Briar with a blank face before looking over at Shelby then nodding, "Yeah; what she said. And it's true!" He said, frowning. Afraid that she wouldn't believe his lie.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell nods, helping Vi into the chair next to her and then places James on her lap, idly playing with his small brown curls on the back of his neck. Jay insisted that his hair was growing too long and that they go get it cut, but Isaiah's did the same when he was small so she wasn't too worried about it.

Shell raises an eyebrow at Dakota and glances over at Molly and Briar. "Uh-huh. Tell me, have you ever flown on a broom before? Because you can tell how fast you are going on your broom." she says with a nod. His lie wasn't going to slip by her, or any quidditch player for that matter. Even if she hadn't played professionally in almost six years now she still flew when she got the chance. "What's the true story Dakota?"

[Briar Holmes]

Briar smirked down at her son, raising her eyebrows up. "Yes, Dakota, what's the true story?" She knew it wasn't true to begin with, her broom was old and didn't go that fast anyhow. She needed a new one. Bringing her hand to Dakota's hair, she ran a hand through it, desperatly wishing he'd get it cut. But he had to be in his rebellious stage early..damn.

Dakota bit his bottom lip softly and looked around this hospital for a nurse to bust him out of this mess and fix his leg. But no such luck. He sighed and looked at Aunt Shelby with a defeated look, "I flew into a tree," He mumbled to her, looking down at his feet.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell sighs, putting a hand through her hair and smiles weakly at him. "I'll tell you what. If you mum trusts you on a broom again, I'll teach you how to fly. I don't have that trophey in my dining room for nothing. And I taught all of your cousins." she says meaning Jenny down to Julia as of now. Shell leaning over and kissing his cheek, knowing that he was already going through the grumpy teen phase.

Vi smiles over at Dakota and rolls her eyes. "I hear that story all the time." she says drawing out the all. "Thank Violet for your input." she says with a laugh. "So how are you and Molly?" Shell asks leaning forward to get a glance at Molly and made a funny face at her.

[Briar Holmes]

Dakota smiled and nodded, holding out his left pinky. "Promise?" He asked, looking up at her with his wide eyes. He loved riding a broom, he hoped he would have the guts to try out for the ravenclaw team one day. Next year, he hoped. Because he'd be older and know more about flying..hopefully.

Molly and Dakota both looked over at Vi with identical smiles. "We're good Aunt Shell, great actually. Well..I am. Not too sure about Stunt boy," Molly said, looking at her brother with a grin, winking at him. She loved her brother to pieces and always showed it. Even if he was the more 'popular' one at school and he ignored her, she still got his attention one way or another. Most of the time telling embarassing stories about him to random people got his attention.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell grins, taking his pinkie and linking it with his. "Promise. I taught Isaiah when he was ten and you know he's taken over my old spot of keeper." she says with a smile, just looking over at Briar now.

Shell laughs shaking her head at Molly. "You are just as bad as your mother. You look and act too much like her more and more." she says playing with James' hair again. Dakota and Molly were always cheerful whenever she seen them. But she disliked how much Dakota looked like Logan.

[Briar Holmes]

Dakota grinned and Briar winked over at Shelby with a smile. Seeing Dakota was a good thing, Quidditch was his favorite thing. She looked over at Molly with a grin and rolled her eyes. Shelby was right, she was looking and acting more and more like her everyday. "Well, what happened to these two? Do they always get this damaged?"

Molly grinned and looked up innocently. She knew she acted a bit like her mom from the stories told her when she was their age. Now, she was a little more mature, taking care of three children. "I know," She giggled, putting a hand to her lips.

[Shelby Crescent]

Shell smiles at Briar and then turns her attention to Vi and James. "Violet here slid down the banister again with me telling her before this not to and landed James' hand. She hit her head on the railing, which..." Vi interupts and looks over at Molly with a grin.

"Which is why I have seven stitches in my forehead and a spranged ankle." she says with a nod, glancing at Briar and then Shell. James frowns at Vi and leans against Shell's chest letting out a soft sigh. "My fingers still hurt." he says softly glancing over at Briar and Molly now with his saddened brown eyes. "You know it's not good to be like her. You should be more like Andra or me."

[Briar Holmes]

Briar rose a brow at Vi, "You know you're not supposed to do that, Vi. Why did you do it?" She asked her, a soft smile on her face. If anything, she could get the truth out of kids..except for Dakota. He's just as stubborn as his father and gets even more stubborn with the more time he spends with Alex. She didn't know what to do. Though, she could always get anything out of Shelby's kids with a smile.

She frowned ocer at James and kissed her fingers then placing it on his hands, "There. They've been touched by the almighty power of Briar Holmes! Now, they'll be better," She said to him with a wink. Gasping, she clipped Shelby around the head and shook her head at Molly, "Be boring like them? Nah! Though..do get good grades like them..."

[Shelby Crescent]

Vi shrugs lightly looks at her brother with a frown. "I was bored. Sue me." she says with a sigh, causing Shell to gasp. Violet Kirsten apologize to your Aunt Briar now, that was very disrepectful." she says with a frown looking over to Briar just shaking her head.

James giggles and glances up at Shell then Briar. "But momma's kisses are better cause she's my momma." he says with a grin. "Ow! That wasn't nice and we weren't boring thank you. But do get the good grades like us. Your mom wasn't that smart." she teases Briar with a grin.

[Briar Holmes]

Briar rose a brow at Vi and looked over at Shelby, "You want me to do you like I do my kids when they talk like that to me? They get locked in a room and don't get fed ANYTHING! Especially cookies, for a week!" She said in a dark voice. It so wasn't true, she just wanted to give Vi a scare. She didn't like to be disrespected by little kids, she didn't tolerate it.

She smiled down at James and ruffled his hair, "That's right.Mama kisses can make everything better. They have that certain magic," She said softly to him. Shelby caused Briar to snicker then gasp and again. She clipped her around the head once more and crossed her arms over her chest, "I was in Ravenclaw, thank you. I just skipped class too much...and didn't do my homework. But I still passed!"

[Shelby Crescent]

Vi raises her own eyebrows at Briar and just smirks. "Mum wouldn't do that to me Aunt Briar, and I know you wouldn't do that to Molly or Dakota. Nice try though." she smirks again. "Violet. You're grounded." she says sternly. "No TV or dessert for two weeks." Vi just rolls her eyes and looks at James sticking out her tongue.

Shell smiles down at him as he giggled, leaning against her chest now lightly. "That's right. Same for you two." she says to Molly and Dakota. "Briar Rae, no TV or dessert at my house for a month." she says raising an eyebrow. "But you barely passed. If I remember right, Andra and I helped you with your NEWTS."

[Briar Holmes]

Briar's eyes narrowed and darkened at the little girl, her lips thinning into a line. She didn't like Vi, never did. She was worse than Jenny when she was that young. That's a rare thing for Briar to say, seeing as she used to care for her. Hearing the words grounded and no TV or desserts come from Shelby's mouth made Briar's lips curl into a smirk. 'Haha, bitch. She was thinking.

Briar gasped dramatically and stuck out her bottom lip, "Oh but Shelby! I love you! Don't take the TV or desserts away!" She said in a fake whiney voice. Shelby knew it wouldn't stop Briar, she was sneaky. Always was. That's how she got away with skipping class so much, "Your point being? It's because those lessons were boring. The only class I ever likes was Defense Against the Dark Arts."

[Shelby Crescent]

Vi glances up at Briar again just keeping her smirk on her face. "Well I love you too mum, does that mean I get away from my rightful punishment like Aunt Briar? It wouldn't be fair to me if she got away with hers." she nods with a puppy dog pout, but once Shell glances back at Briar she just smirks again shaking her head lightly.

"She sorta has a point Briar." she says with a nod and a deep frown. She hated to admit it, but Vi was exactly like Fiona which scared her, seeing as Fiona was in Slytherin. "Anyway, the classes weren't boring. You just rather have been pranking people instead of learning. I bet if you were in my class you'd be getting detention left and right."

[Briar Holmes]

When Shelby wasn't looking at her, she gave Vi the infamous finger in a quick motion, mouthing 'Fuck you' to the girl. She didn't care if she seen because she didn't like her at all. She reminded her of people on the other side of the Crescent line. She could get away with mouthing off to them, because of Alex.

She frowned and shook her head, "I take it back then. I'll just stack up at my house," She said, crossing her arms over her chest. She remembered the last detention she had. It was with James Smith. Oh boy, she remembered him well. He was crazier than she was, even carried a muggle gun with him. The same gun he had used on Logan that one time. "I did get detentions left and right, why do you think I was gone after dinner? I even remember my last detention."

[Shelby Crescent]

Vi gasps lightly, frowning a bit. "Mum! Briar flicked me off!" she yells, pretending to be hurt and pouting. Shell's eyes widen and glances over at Briar. "Why did you do that?" she asks looking at her completely shocked. "She's a little girl! You're the adult. You can't just do that, grow up." she says shaking her head tempted to get up and leave. "And no wonder you always had detention Briar."

[Briar Holmes]

Briar rose her eyebrows. She even knew what it meant. Must have been around Jenny or something. Or some kids that did that. "Oh you know you're not upset with that pout," She said over to Vi. Briar was known not to hold back to what she wanted to do, not matter how old..unless they were infants.

She just looked at Shelby for a moment before saying, "That time it was James' fault. He just had to start something and get us introuble with Mcgonnogal. I hated him then, it was after that incident when they finally gave us detention."

[Shelby Crescent]

"Yes-huh. Mum, make her apologize. That wasn't nice." she says with a faint frown before glancing at Briar again with a grin. Shell looks back and forth between them and sighs. "What am I gonna do with the both of you?" she asks letting out a sigh that twirled her bangs into the rest of her curls. "So, doesn't matter. You were still in detention Briar, quite often I may say." she adds with a slight smile.

[Briar Holmes]

Briar had to laugh a little at Vi, even if she could be evil, she was comical. "Fine, I'm sorry Vi. I love you!" She added the last bit with a smile, putting her hands to the left side of her chest, and fluttered her eyelashes. After the whole thing with Vi, she looked over at Shelby, "I know. But I was crazy..okay crazier back then. Really, really immature too," She muttered with a grin over to her.

She watched Dakota try and jump up from his seat when the nurse came to take him to his room and frowned slightly, "Your leg, Dakota. Be careful. Molly, do you mind going with him to make sure he doesn't do anything irrational?" She asked her daughter. She nodded and jumped out of her seat, following Dakota and the nurse down the hall.

"Their birthday is coming up soon, I don't know what to do," She sighed, looking over at Shelby.

[Shelby Crescent]

"That's better. I guess you're forgiven Aunt Briar." she says crossing her arms lightly over her chest, but laughs a bit at Briar fluttering her eyelashes. "Drama queen." she says mutters to her, but with a grin as she notices the nurse walking over to Dakota. "That goes without being said Briar. You were the craziest ravenclaw in the day. I think Dakota or Molly here might take that title from you." she says with a wink to the twins.

"I'm coming too!" Vi calls standing up and following behind them slowly as her ankle was still a bit sore as James wiggles free from Shell's grasp and follows his older sister. Shell sighs lightly watching them walk into the ward and faces Briar right after. "Well, we could throw them a party seeing as it's their thirteenth birthday." she shrugs lightly.

[Briar Holmes]

Briar, watching her children and Violet go down the hall, sighed. She hated how quickly they were growing up, even Violet. She remembered when they were little toddlers just learning how to walk. Now, ten years later, they're in Hogwarts are soon going to Hogwarts. "Molly, definitely. She's the rebellious, crazy one already," She said, running a hand through her hair, "Now I know why my parents would always yell at me."

She looked at Shelby with a 'No-Shit-Sherlock' look she used to give her back when they were in school and said, "No, really? I thought that we'd send them to Mars for the week," She said with a roll of her eyes. It was obvious she was going to throw them a party, but she didn't know what she was going to do for it. Should it be a surprise or not? She had so many questions.

Shell glares playfully at her. "Well what did you mean then? You weren't specific about this." she sticks out her tongue.
