The Yule Ball

"I won't let them do that." Elrohir said firmly. "Never."

Maik laughed and gave Descartes a kiss on the cheek. "You've earned them alright."

Sonia smiled softly. "Thank you, Elrohir. I feel so safe with you."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Descartes smiled. "Yay! I need to find other things to do to get more."

Elrohir smiled. "I'd do anything to protect you. You know that, don't you?"

"You certainly do." Maik agreed with a smile

Sonia blushed softly but her smile widened. "YEs, just like I would do anything to protect you."
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hmmm, any suggestions?" Descartes asked.

"Thank you." Elrohir smiled

Maik scratched her chin thoughtfully for a moment. "Not sure..Though I'm sure you'll think of something."

Descartes gave Maik a puppydog pout. "Okay."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Sonia smiled. "Can we please go talk to your father."

Maik ran a hand through Descartes hair and smiled. "Well, you still have hair. And I love your hair so.." she gave him another kiss on the cheek. "That earns you something."

"About what?" Elrohir asked.

"WHat the ministry are going to about the letters. I need to know. Descartes said something about Daddy's letters and him corrupting me or whatever." Sonia says biting her lip.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Descartes smiled. "Mmm, I like that. SHould I leave it like it is, cut it, or grow it out?"

"They'll be kept as evidence I think." Elrohir replied. "To see what your father's been up to."

"Leave it." Maik replied. "I like it the way it is."

Descartes bowed his head to maik. "So do I."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I know. But he may know or have an idea as to what they'll do to me and Elrohir."

Maik smiled and leaned her head on Descartes'. "Glad we agree."

"I don't think they'll do anything drastic." Elrohir replied. "Just...watch you I suppose."

Descartes smiled almost romatically. (is that posiible)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sonai nodded. "I hope that's all."

Maik gave Descartes a kiss on the cheek. "I like that smile too." (course it is)

"So do I." Elrohir agreed.

Descartes turned just catching the corner of her lips efore she pulled back.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Sonia nodded and started towards the front where she had seen Artorius.

Maik blushed slightly and smiled. "Trying to catch something else Descartes?"

Artorius turned as Elrohir and Sonia walked up to him. "You saw your father then?" He said to Sonia

"Maybe." Descartes said playfully. "WHy?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Yes, sir. Thank you for allowing me to visit him." Sonia says before nervously chewing her bottom lip. "May I ask you a question? What do you think the ministry is going to do about me and Descartes?"

"Because, you just might get it." Maik laughed.

Artorius glanced at Elrohir before answering. "I"m not sure yet. Although I think, if nothing else, you will be taken from you father's custody. And have limited contact with him."
