Chapter 112: Ch105- Bad Decisions!

Cassian stretched out his hand, palm open. "Right. Your wand, Mr Weasley."Ron jerked upright in his seat, clutching the battered stick as if Cassian had just asked for his right arm. "What? You're taking my wand?"

Cassian gave him a flat look. "Yes. Congratulations, you've cracked the code. I am confiscating it."

"It's not that bad," Ron muttered, voice trailing off as the wand gave a sad little spark at the tip.

Cassian pinched the bridge of his nose. "Not that bad? I can smell the splinters from here. Pass it over before it goes off in your face."

Reluctantly, Ron handed it over. Cassian turned the wand over in his fingers. It was almost broken into two. The poor thing looked like it had been held together with sheer hope and a bit of Spellotape.

"I am sending it home," Cassian said. "Frankly, the fact that this hasn't been reported to the Board of Governors is a miracle. Hogwarts wouldn't survive five minutes if every idiot boy went around hexing people with a wand held together by tape and bad decisions."

Bathsheda shook her head, lips twitching despite herself. "Get in before I push you in."

"Oh, threatening already?" Cassian slipped into the bath with a contented sigh, stretching his legs until his toes hit the far edge. "This is why I love you, you know. Keeps things spicy."

She shook her head with a laugh, already tugging her jumper off. "You do remember Hogwarts wards off pregnancies, don't you?"

Cassian's arm shot out, hooking her waist and pulling her down onto his lap. "Oops. Forgot."

"Mm-hmm." She smirked against his jaw, fingers sliding into his hair.
