"Was that Winston Churchill?"

       "I think it was Ray Bradbury."

       "Girls, any of you might have an idea where Mulciber and Avery might end up?" Fred suddenly appeared with a crack. They were used to it, of course. When the twins found out Effie was the girl they booed back at First Year, and she confronted them how stupid it made her feel, they apologized even if it was already water under the bridge. Now they got along like a house on fire.

       George appears next to him with a pop, "They tried to apparate in the Stark estate last night—they didn't make it inside. Rather, said to have ended up somewhere else."

       Ginny chuckled, "They deserved that."

        "I suspect in the middle of nowhere," Effie stated, amused as she leaned against the punching bag.

        "Only surrounded by thousand miles of nothing but water," Ginny humored, sharing a grin with Effie.

        Effie chuckled, "Ostensibly enough, I supposed they've been shanghaied."

       ". . . Right, now if you could please stop cueing the cliche love monologue right now and let us in on the joke," Fred raised an eyebrow.

       "Point Nemo, you babbling buffoon," Ginny says with a roll of her eyes. "They're probably somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean, right now. If they're lucky, muggle ships may pass them—"

       "Far cry, though," Effie says smugly. "It's the least biologically active region of the world ocean. Russian, European, and Japanese space agencies normally use it now as a dumping ground. Chances are, they're least likely to be rescued. It's the point of this planet with fewest human inhabitants and the quietest shipping routes."

       Fred and George stared between the two girls for a moment (it was no use trying to ask what muggle things they were talking about), before breaking into large grins. "Wicked!" They said, before disapparating with a pop.

       When they went down—fresh and showered (Effie was, but Ginny had to change out of her sleepwear), Eleazar greets Effie with a forehead kiss as Ginny went on to kiss her mum on the cheek.

       "On a scale of one to ten, how likely are Mulciber and Avery unable to return on mainland?" Kingsley asked them.

        Effie pursed her lips to suppress the smirk beginning on her lips. "A twelve?" She says innocently. Silence. She raised an eyebrow, "Well, they're not exactly renowned for their genius, aren't they?"

       Sirius barked out a laugh, as Ginny looked at Effie again with a fond look. "Adorable when she's casually angry, isn't she?"

       "Adorable?" Tonks repeats, then scoffs and laughed. "Well then I rue the day she will be the cutest when she's mad."

       "It's an all-women household, Tonks," Eleazar shared with a slight smirk. "You learn to understand a bit about women—one; they run on determination, two; you learn to go with it."

       The next time Effie was in the boxing room, she was alone. It was 2AM by now, she woke up in cold sweat an hour ago but Effie was fucking frustrated. Back then she had amphetamines to keep her awake, keep her busy—
