Christina chuckled at the suggestion of being his favourite sister, it was a title that there was no competition for and yet still she was glad to be awarded it. After all these years she was glad that they could spend this time together, that she could employ him as her assistant and that she could just talk to him. All these years of separation, it felt good to have this brother within arms reach when she needed him.
How did they meet? In a hideous trick of fate that for al this time she had thought was romantic and serendipity, but turned out to be a cold calculative plan that involved manipulating her. ”The Leaky Cauldron” Christina explained, it was hardly the most romantic of settings, but it had not had to be for her and she had been so happy with it. ”I was working and he just sat down next to me” As if he had spotted her out of the room of all these people, he had singled her out as someone worth his attention. Instead he had probably been following her for days and had finally found a suitable moment to talk to her, to make it seem natural. Everything was a lie.
”We don’t need to talk about that anyway, we really should be getting back to doing some work”

"Tell me he didn't order the pea soup!" The Leaky was famous for that. The motto with it was 'Eat It before It eats you!'. Anyone who ordered that nasty stuff was beyond redemption in Edward's mind to start with. He judged others on if they ordered it when he bothered to go to the Leaky.
At the urge of getting back to work, Edward shook his head. "Nope. Nothing more to do. Nice try squirt!" He grunted as a very large and very hard head pounded into the upper section of his back. "And Shadow here apparently wants attention." He grabbed his girlfriend's black jaguar around the collar and gave him a knuckles head scratch, satisfying the cat for the time being. "So tell me what his and Seph's relationship is like? Do I need to set her on his case for you?" He probably would anyways. He knew the two of them ran in the same circles but didn't know exactly how they'd come to run in the same circles. They seemed like extremely unlikely friends.

Christina chuckled at the mentioning of pea soup, not that she had ever tried it before however she had it mentioned to her on several occasions, usually when she told people she lived there for a little while. ”I have never touched the pea soup … I can’t say the same for him, but I do hope he had not tried it” Referring to Zechariah as him made it a little easier at least that was what she told herself when she could not bring herself to say his name, him, the Death Eater that she was in love with. Why was she in love with a Death Eater? How could she be in love with a Death Eater?
Squirt. There was only one person that called her squirt and that was Edward. ”There is always something more to do” Christina pointed out shaking her head, she did not want to be one of those ministers that ran out of things to do, she wanted to be hard working and go above and beyond. ”We can find something to do im sure?” Perhaps that was a better suggestion she wanted to work, she wanted something to do right now to keep busy rather than anything else.
”I’m not sure, I think they are friends, I’ve only met Seph a couple of times. I think the last time I saw Seph I must’ve been around ten at one of dad’s dinner parties and I decided to hide behind you because Jonathan was trying to steal my rabbit” Other than Callie who she knew extremely well these days most of Edward’s friends were elusive to her, she had seen them all throughout the years usually from a distance or back when she had some hideous bow in her hair that her mother had insisted on. Nine times out of ten these meetings usually involved trying to get away from something awful that Johnathan was doing or trying to do to her and the best way to get Jonathan to leave her alone was to hide behind Edward.

Edward made a 'phew' motion with his hand swiping across his forehead, purely just to make his baby sister laugh a little. Even a smirk would satisfy him.
When asked if there was anything for them to do, Edward shook his head. "You're ahead of schedule, and all caught up on paperwork. So nothing to do but talk to your big brother and tell him who he has to beat up and why."
Chrissy brought up a memory he hadn't thought of in years. Jonathan had been being a prick and trying to steal and cook Chrissy's rabbit. "Merlin's beard I'd forgotten about that. He threatened to cook it if I remember. I kept smacking him, and so did Seph when she found out what he was trying to do. Even Cole started to swat at him when he came around her. Eventually, he had to go to his room because Mum was getting fed up if I remember right. I don't know if she ever found out what he was up to with you."

Christina rolled her eyes at her big brother, he was such a muppet sometimes though she had the feeling he was being one intentionally to make her smile and that made him endearing and caring and of course her big brother.
Despite his kindness he was not really getting the hint that she did not want to talk and .. well maybe that was what it was supposed to be like when one had siblings, there had been such an age gap between them and they had been so distant at times. It felt a little like being an only child. It was possible she should enjoy the care he was taking and lean into it more, except it had made Christina guarded all those years on her own or with Johnathan bothering her. Zach had opened her up a little and she was trying not to close up again now that she was feeling a little betrayed by him, but it was not easy. ”You? Beat someone up? … I don’t think I can imagine that” Now she was trying not to giggle, her Edward beat someone up sounded impossible and so unlike him.
Now that rabbit had been Christina’s favourite thing in the world when she was little, it went everywhere with her and was an easy target for Johnathan when he wanted to make her cry. ”I remember that, I think someone threatened to skin him like a rabbit if he went near it again” Now that made Christina laugh remembering, Johnathan always got a bit too big for his boots, but one of the older brothers or their friends were very good at putting him back in a box. ”Hiding behind you and your friends was always a good way to get Johnathan to leave me alone” At the suggestion that their mother never found out what he was up to Christina just shrugged, knowing her well she would not really care or turned a blind eye just like their father always did unless he was directing Johnathan which she did suspect. ”Cooking it probably would not have been the worst thing that poor rabbit went through, do you remember that time they went away and Johnathan behead her?” Their parents had gone away somewhere or other and Johnathan was always extra awful when they did and her poor rabbit had paid the price.

Edward waggled his eyebrows at his sister when she suggested that he couldn't beat someone up. "Chrissy, my dear baby sister that I love so much... I'm the eldest of five, four boys... I can beat up Richard, Kaleb, and Jonathan with quite a bit of ease. All at once. Haven't had to in a while, but I can still do it if the three of them ever jumped me again."
Edward raised a hand and wiggled his fingers when Christina recalled the threat to skin their brother. "I did. And I think Uncle Claude did too at one point because he was pissing Mum off. I remember something about feeding him to a werewolf too. It could have even been Jaxon for all I remember." The Falco's and their uncle had history, that much he knew for certain. Their uncle lusted after Jaxon's wife for decades, and probably still did.
He had forgotten about Jonathan beheading the rabbit. "I wish someone had boxed his ears bloody for that one. I couldn't catch the wretch to do it myself." He'd had to go back to school the next week and had to pack for school. Otherwise he'd have spent the last few days he'd had at home slowly tormenting his little brother for all the hell he caused their sister.

Christina chuckled at the notion of Edward fighting all three of their brothers, she knew he could take Johnathan and Richard, but Kaleb was a tricky one, the other two were book smart and Edward could take them. ”Next time we need a fundraiser for the ministry I think I will suggest it you can wrestle the three of them” It would be one hell of a show and they both knew it, but it had been a long time since she had seen them in all in a fight and you had to wonder what might cause them to start a fight.
”I think it was Jaxon, I remember Johnathan actually getting terrified about it and it really upset dad, he doesn’t like it when you bring up werewolves. I know you did a great job of scaring the hell out of him too” Johnathan was awful to everyone, but her especially. He had spent her entire childhood trying to make her cry and succeeding most of the time. ”I don’t know Uncle Claude was a weird one, he only cared if it was upsetting mum She had heard a few rumours about the way he treated Colette too, so he got creepier.
Johnathan was a complicated person and he was attention seeking more than anything, but that was her giving him too much credit because he was truly awful to her and always had been. ”Well you would not have had to argue with me about that, he was awful because dad yelled at him over it all and he said that was all my fault. Hogwarts was the best thing that happened because most of the time there were seven floors between him and me” It had been freedom away from Johnathan and their father, freedom she was desperate for to be herself and live her life. "I am so glad I got older, not that it really got me too far from them Because of course dad had found a way to get back into her life, just like he had right now. He was always worming his way back in again.

Edward flexed his muscles just to make his sister laugh a little at the idea. It wouldn't be a horrible fundraiser idea actually... Get volunteers to have clean, fair fights, see who came out on top. Dropping his arms, Edward smirked. "Now that's actually not a bad idea. We could see who wants to fight it out, even from different departments. My money is on Weaver being picked to be beat up quite a bit though. No one seems to like him very much..." He'd gotten complaints about the man being an asshole, but there wasn't much he could do about it.
Their uncle was a weird one for sure. He cared about their mother more than anyone else in the family aside from his one daughter Colette. Who wanted nothing to do with him now. "Speaking of Cole, have you seen she came back to work?" Maybe a visit with their cousin would cheer her up about Zach... Lord knows the twins would make anybody smile.
"And this is why I bring Shadow to work. Dad's terrified of Seph's pets. He won't go pestering her at her house, he waits till he finds her in Diagon to ambush her. If she doesn't take one of the cats with her then too." Their father was petrified because Seph had been known to set her beasts on men that annoyed her. He was always worried he'd be the next one she set them on. "And why Pollux brings the dogs. The dogs hate Claude apparently." What was it about their fatherto resort to creature heir children that they had to resort to creature usage to keep them away?!

Christina chuckled at Edward’s flexing. ”The Big Old Ministry for Magic Fight Club Night” It was so difficult not to laugh at the notion of them all getting in a punch up, it might actually help with the department arguments and differences if they could get them in a room and let them go at each other for a bit. ”Weaver? His name hasn’t reached my desk yet, but if it does I’ll make sure he’s first on the chopping block for the punch up”
Their family was a weird complicated machine and for most of them it chewed them up and spit them out, only the lucky few got away unscathed and when she found one of these unscathed people dear god did she have some questions for them. ”Has she? I bet she is back early rather than taking the full time too knowing her” Colette was one of the sweetest people around, she was so full of caring for everyone she met and the fact that she now had two darling children meant she had so many to love and maybe she should focus on them rather than her work. ”Man it feels crazy that someone in the family has kids, you’re an uncle, I’m an aunt” Technically they were not aunts or uncles it didn’t work like that with cousins, but they were so much more than cousins Colette was the sister she never had as was her twin sister Claudia even though they barely knew her and that made them closer than that.
It did not sound at all like their father to be afraid of anything. Their father was one of the most terrifying men she had ever met and probably would continue to be the most terrifying man, she could probably look Greyback in the eyes and still find her father more terrifying. ”Family right?” Christina chuckled again ”You just can’t pick em can you” she shook her head a few times before following it up with ”But man if you could pick your family, I would have yours” Their parents were always so much nicer to him then they ever were to her.
