 Elder Quad
After the young man was turned to the ghastly heat outside he decided he needed no shirt for his task. Now, he stood with shorts and a dego-tee on as he moved to the rear of the backyard near the fence to collect some firewood for the bonfire they were to have later in the evening.
With a flick of his wand, the wood began chopping itself on a large stump he had found just in the woods near his old house. He had really liked the location of this house because it was only a few blocks away from his old house. Instead of building on it, the Ministry had kept it as a monument for his parents who were so well regarded in the wizarding world. He like that exceptionally much, especially when he found himself wandering aimlessly amongst the rubble.
Taking the basket he had brought outside off the porch, he moved quietly to their many fruit trees and bushes in the right corner of their yard. He kept the yard perfect. In his mind, this was his 'baby'. He began picking a few ripe pears off the branches and placing them gently in the basket he held. Of course, these delicious fruits were for Lainie and he couldn't be happier that she enjoyed such healthy food.
Finally finishing his tasks about a half hour later, Axel had made sure the wood was chopped and placed beside the fire pit. He walked into the house, through the glass doors that led to the kitchen, with basket in hand along with his green t-shirt that was now wiping the sweat from his brow and the top of his chest.
"Alright, I think I need a shower before everyone comes over," he laughed as he stood in front of his wife. He handed her the fruit then pointed to the sweaty mess he had become. "What d'you reckon?" There was no doubt about it, he needed a shower and he needed it bad. Especially since everyone would be over soon. He barely had enough time. |
