"When said Slytherin is nasty about your blood status..." Sophie replied looking up at him and shrugging. She couldn't help but think how much worse she would've gotten had she been a Muggleborn. Merlin, some people... But she realised that had been a bit gloomy, so she smiled again. "But I like all the right Slytherins." Grin.

Mordred didn't believe he was a good dad. His comment honestly didn't surprise Sophie as she knew him too well by now, but she couldn't help but feel bad. "Don't be silly now. He's just at a funny age." And he wasn't even a teenager yet. Sophie wasn't going to bring that up, though. They would deal with tomorrow's problems when tomorrow arrived. The brunette watched as her husband obviously dove deep into thoughts and stayed quiet for a bit too, just watching him. "Okay, that's enough of that for now." She said half jokingly, but she also meant it as she nudged his side. Too much overthinking could send him to places in his mind that she didn't want him to go.

She chuckled as he explained what his Hogwarts expectations had been. As he voiced his mother's comment, she widened her eyes for a brief second, thinking that was maybe a little too much of a heavy burden to place on a child. On her lovely husband when he was a child. What if he hadn't been sorted into Slytherin? Sophie was sure that would've made him feel terrible. She made a mental note to not make any kinds of comments towards her own children, just in case. She'd be absolutely happy with whatever house they were sorted into anyway! Sophie chuckled softly again as he finished his comments on his mother and rubbed his arm. His mother was rarely wrong, hm? Another burden Sophie herself wouldn't want to carry. "Our families are so different." She chuckled.

Her husband's next words caught her completely off guard. She had been watching the slowness of everything around the fountain and was feeling quite at peace with the world only to be given what felt like very shocking news. "That was... very sudden." Her eyes were wide again as she blinked multiple times, still trying to make sense of it all. Move houses - and not only that, move to the other side of the country! -, change the kids' schooling - which wasn't just sending them to another school per se, but moving them from a Muggle system into a Magical one - AND actually getting an extra pet??

W h a t.

She wasn't even sure where to start. "I-- Uh..." Blink. She studied him for a moment before speaking up again. "This is not because you think you're lacking as a dad... is it?" Because if it was she would have a loootttttt to try and get into his ~~lovely~~ mind. Sophie herself loved changes, but she knew her husband. He wasn't like her. ~~At all~~. Much.

Wherever had this come from?? ~~And she wasn't getting rid of the alpacas, nope.~~

Sophie did get along with all sorts of people back in Hogwarts, regardless of their house, blood status, social status, and what have you. She was remarkable like that, and Mordred couldn't be more proud of who she is. For all he knew, Mordred was easily classified as the snob one, but that did not deter Sophie from reaching out, and basically show him that it wasn't so bad to have friends, or to socialise a bit with people he wasn't familiar with. Truth be told, he was and still is condescending considering his upbringing and the environment that had shaped him to become who he was. But he could easily brush it off with the reason for wanting the best of the best for himself, and his family. "You got the best of both worlds. You know what it's like to live the life of a witch and a muggle." he said thoughtfully while rubbing his wife's arm. "Thank you for choosing me, though..." Was he one of the right Slytherins? Well, it was a given. However, he knew he was far from being the perfect one.

Mordred was lost, to be honest. He didn't know what went through Noah's mind. If he could read Catherine, almost instantly, it was the opposite for Noah. He's their firstborn son, and he expected himself to understand him completely. He really was lacking. The twins are exactly a year away from attending Hogwarts, and Mordred found himself wanting to slow down the time. But how? He has been on-call at work almost every day, given the unusual sightings of Creatures in the muggle world, and spending time with their twins was almost always impossible. In fact, he's been to work that morning, only to ask to call the rest of his afternoon off to be with his family. But for obvious reasons, he cannot afford to do small time-offs all the time. The dragonologist had a frown on his face until he felt the nudge on his rib, breaking his thoughts.

He then kept his mouth shut as soon as Sophie found her words. He knew it was going to be a shock, and he was expecting the reaction. There goes their romantic date. Mordred bit his lower lip as he eyed another family make their way into Diagon Alley, while his thoughts drifted back to the moment wherein he decided to have this talk with his wife.

Was the reason because he felt he was lacking? Perhaps it was more than that. Mordred shook his head and shifted in his seat. "Noah and Catherine have obviously made friends in school. When the time comes for them to attend Hogwarts, I am sure they will be bombarded with questions as to why they don't see them there anymore. I thought, perhaps, moving to a different city with a good population of wizarding folks around would be easier for them and Scarlett and Enzo. At least the twins will have a real excuse for their friends." Mordred tilted his head as he pressed on. "And I am worried for Scarlett, to be honest. Anytime soon, her magic will manifest. She exhibits the least control among our children, and I am genuinely concerned for her, and her peers." Not to mention, the Statute. "At least in a wizarding primary school, they could teach her how to control it early on. The same goes for Enzo." Mordred sighed, and again shook his head. "I am basing it on observations of course...and they are a completely different case from the twins. Noah and Catherine know how to act accordingly...but I don't know about Scar and Enzo." Mordred did not dare admit that they needed help from professionals regarding two of their youngest offsprings but thought it was necessary AND important for EVERYONE'S sanity. "But of course, like in any big decisions concerning the family, I need your opinion on this matter."
