    Summary

    “My wife has asked that you join us for dinner tomorrow night,” Beau says carefully.

    “Your wife, sir?” Jake’s brow furrows. “Why would she like to meet me?”

    “She thinks its important that my mentee sees a healthy work-life balance.”

    “I’m your mentee?” Jake teases, smirking lightly. “And you talk about me enough that your wife wants to meet me?”

    “You can continue to be a pain in my ass,” Beau sighs, looking up at the ceiling. “Or, you can take the offer of a free dinner with a beautiful and intellectually stimulating woman.”

    “Oh, I definitely want to see this side of Cyclone,” Jake grins. “Domesticated.”

    “You’re bordering on impertinence.”

    “Me? Never.”

    “Let’s go back to when you respected me and my position.”

    Jake appears to settle down, but only slightly. He clears his throat and squares his shoulders. “I’d be honored to attend dinner with your family, Admiral. Just tell me a date and time.”

    ***
    or, Beau Simpson didn't mean to adopt a fully grown naval aviator, but, you know; shit happens.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy thought he had reasonable expectations for his mandatory Eighth Year at Hogwarts, where he would be confined to the grounds as part of his probation. Isolation, hatred, and passing his NEWTs were really all he had in mind.

    What he wasn't anticipating:
    1) Having a small firstie latch onto him like a bloody koala
    2) Said firstie adopting an erkling as if they didn’t feed on children.

    To protect his little nuisance, he’ll have to seek help from uncomfortable places, including the Swottiest Witch of Her Age. Joy of all joys.
