Connor giggled a little at the hair ruffle and smiled up at him happily before looking around the room and hopping onto the bed, giggling a little as he shrugged his backpack off and opening it, pulling out a small picture book. “you have to read to me!” he ordered handing the other the book, tilted Turtle Time., and once that was decided he plopped himself into Ashlin's lap and waited for his new friend to read, scanning the pictures happily as he listened to Ashlin read to him, Harry walking in after a moment, looking very unhappy about how comfortable Connor was with Ashlin, but determined not to let Connor know that Harry was in trouble as he handed the boy the apples smeared with peanut butter, all lined up on a plate. “Yay!” was Connor's response to the odd looking treats, stuffing one into his mouth as Harry unpacked the boy's blanket and teddy bear, laying it down on the bed carefully under Connor's supervision, Harry smiling a little as he examined the teddy bear before laying it gently on the boys pillow. “alright Big Bear.” Harry stated, Connor giggling. “let's leave Ashlin alone now so he can get back to his work.” Harry decided a quick way to get Ashlin away from his son. “you eat your snack while I start on dinner alright? Don't make a mess.” “yes daddy.” Connor chirped, nibbling on his apples as he examined the book, Harry practically forcing Ashlin out of the room, with a relieved sigh.
“christ... that boy... sometimes I swear he WANTS me to have a heart attack....” he grumbled glaring at Ashlin. “look you.... Connor is not to know that I am here against my will you got that!?” he demanded, poking the death eater in the chest. “i want no mention of Voldemort, Dumbledore, raids, or deaths! You keep your mouth shut about anything that isn't fun, toys, video games, or learning, INNOCENT learning! I find out your teaching my son ANYTHING even NEAR gray magic or darker and I'll slit you open from balls to neck!” he took a deep breath, closing his eyes, struggling to keep his calm. “i don't like you, I don't trust you and I don't want you around my son but Connor has clearly decided he likes you so you better watch what you do or say around my son, barrier or not I won't hesitate to kill you.” he promised before stalking away. “and since I've been kidnapped you can keep you as out of the kitchen, it's MINE now!”
