Laura walked through the doors of the new school she was going to be teaching at. After her last job had ended quite abruptly as Headmistress of a school in California, she'd put out a resume, and ended up here.
As she looked around, she smiled. It seemed nice enough. She could definately learn to like it around here.

Connor waited for the new Administrator of his school he would be working with. He sat on a bench in the entrance hall waiting for the person to arrive. Then the doors opened. Connor was really shocked to see a woman come into the school. He wasn't the one that did the jobs for the school he relied on the ministry to get his jobs. That and his brother which he kicked out after a huge fight a moth or so ago.
He looked at his paper and saw the name "Laura, Del-aney?" he asked hoping he pronounced the name correctly.

Laura turned when she heard her name, and smiled.
"It's actually pronounced del-in-ey, but I don't usually go by Professor Delaney anyway, so call me Laura. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find the Headmaster, would you?" She said. The boy who'd spoken her name seemed rather young, was probably a prefect or head student sent to escort her.

"Uh... hold on." Connor said as he played a trick on her. "No I cant say I do. I dont have a headmaster." Connor said hoping to confuse her to the point of no return. "I dont have one because I am the headmaster. Yes, I am young but its it makes alot done in the future." he said to Laura.

Laura laughed.
"Well, that's a surprise. Mr. Hall, it's nice to meet you. Your school is beautiful. I'm looking forward to working here. I'm assuming the ministry already let you know, but I'll be your assistant administration as well as teaching Potions. It's not a class I've taught before, but I was pretty good at it in school." She said with a smile.
"So should I move my things into the castle or can I buy a house nearby? Me and my hu--" She paused, then sighed. "I have quite enough money to pay for a nice house nearby. I did so at my first school, which is why I ask. But if you prefer your professors on campus, I can stay here."

" Look, If I dont want to sleep in this dump do you think I will make others do the same. For Merlin's sake buy a house." he said as he Laughed. "Now its for you and your who?" he asked as he was now suspicious about what the 'hu' could have stood for.
"Just send me an owl on the building plans and what not and i can see if i can scabuse up some labor for you." he said as he remembered that he was told by the ministry to hurry up and sign the house elf working papers for the school.

Laura sighed. "My husband. Bo. He was the headmaster of my old school. He and our sons, Alexander and Gabriel, went missing a while back... I hope every day that they're safe, but I can't wait forever for him to come back, to bring my babies back. I looked... for a whole year, I did nothing else. But now... right now, I need to focus on something else, on not letting the loss of my family cripple me." She sighed again, then gave a weak smile.
"And now you know my sad, sad story. The house will be for me... but if by some miracle, they do come back, they'll live there with me. My sons are 4 now, so they won't be ready for school here for a few years." She added. "And Bo was a teacher, so I'm sure he'd be willing to help you here."

Connor lightly smiled. "I am sorry about that, but I can tell you I read the muggle and Daily Prophet Daily, and i have not heard a thing about a person of that name in any trouble or danger." he said. "They are probably all right. If he has your children he probably knows best as a father of them he wouldn't be careless at all. He is probably protecting them more than he is himself." he said to Laura with a happy tone.
Connor smiled. He didn't know anything about her family but he would read extra slowly tomorrow just in case any of the names that she had talked about just now were in the paper so he could tell her immediately.

Laura sighed. "Bo's impulsive and crazy, but you're right. He takes better care of those around him than he does himself, silly man..." She murmured.
"I'm sure you'd like him if you ever got to meet him. He's actually quite a good man."

Bo ran into the castle after keeping the kids alive and away from danger which showed. Bo was scratched, bleeding all over, and had a big thorn up his but, but the two four year-olds walking by his sides were unscathed. "Laura, can I talk to you. I..." he said then looked at the kid. "Wow, please tell me that's a student or the headmaster is just a midget ." he said still battling horrible ADD.

"Whats good about someone who calls me a midget." said Connor as he crossed his arms and had to laugh at the over sized thorn sticking out of his but. It looked like he was riding an over sized cactus. "We both are right. The kids are scratch less." he said to Laura.

Laura stood stock still for a moment, and then with a cry, ran towards her family. She dropped to her knees to look at her little boys, hugging and kissing both of them. When she was sure they were both unharmed, she stood and stared, wide eyed, at her husband. He was beat up and bloody, there was something alarming sticking out of his posterier and he seemed slightly crazed but she didn't care. Her eyes filled with tears.
"Bo... I can't believe you brought them back to me... and you came back... Where have you been?" She asked.

"Where have I been!" he said exasporated. "The question is where haven't I been." he said again looking at the two kids he dragged half way across the world to get to Laura. "Look, you and me need to talk." he said as he dragged her aside. "Its best that I left you and because I had this problem and didnt want to drag you into" he asked her now beginning the re-assuring process.

Laura stared at him.
"You shut down the school where I thought everything was going quite well, disappear with my children for an entire year, then show up out of the blue, bleeding, bruised and with a thorn in your ass to tell me you're divorcing me, not because you don't love me any more, but because some time in the very long year that you didn't so much as send me an owl to let me know my family was alive, you got into some trouble that could make me... unhappy." She said, clarifying. Shaking her head, she decided not to rant and scream like she wanted to. Her babies were home, that was what mattered. If Bo wanted to go off into the world and do whatever it was that crazy people did, it was none of her concern as long as the two identical young boys looking at her with familiar eyes were okay.
"You know what? I don't even care. I spent a whole year looking for you, wondering if you were dead and why you'd left without a word, taking away every one but my house elf. Now I'm here, and no way in hell are you taking my sons away again, so if you're going to leave me, leave me. I did my best to love you, Bo Labroad. If whatever is out in the world is more important, than go." She said, turning her back on him. She gathered the twins close and cuddled them.
No, she didn't need Bo as long as she could have them, she decided.

"Ok, I just wanted to let you know whats up with me" he said and now with a smile on his face. "He then conjured a wet wipe and wiped the fake blood from his face and then pulled the velcrow thorn from his ass. "Look the blood part, it was all a joke. I tried owling you but somehow the owl came back to no letter but the damn thing kept getting fatter." he said as he sighed. "I never ment to worry you. I owled you after getting out of California to find Nyck to say goodbye for the final time. I said good bye to Bo and Erie, and then grabbed Gabe and Alexi and went to a hotel. Then I tried owling you saying that I was coming to bring back the boys and explain this situation." he said with all seriousness. Bo now looked back at the Midget headmaster. "Good luck with the school. I am glad you got her as your administrator." he said to Connor
