The`Baffled`King`Noah/open`Composing`Hallelujh`

[Kianthra Lestrange]

She looked at the small brown curls, so similar to Noah's hair, but it was Kallie's eyes that almost hypnotised her. Such a dark blue. Of course she knew they would lighten in the next few days, but still, such a magical and stunning colour. Kianthra smiled, "She's beautiful Cor," she said quietly, transfixed by the tiny baby in her ''sister's'' arms. Auntie Kia? How old does she think I am? I'm seventeen not forty...mind you she is beautiful...I quite like the sound of it actually, Auntie Kia. Guess I'll have to get used to that. Hold her? I'd love to, but I don't think Noah's too keen on the idea. She looked across to Noah briefly, seeking approval, before she turned back to Corliss. "I'd love to." she said quietly before placing a box of chocolate on her bedside table with the words, To My Little Sister, Enjoy the quiet while it lasts, love the ever-present Kianthra, written on a small label she had tied to the box.

[Corliss Malfoy]

After sending Noah a small grin, Corliss gave her baby a soft kiss of the forehead. Kallie gave a squeak of what seemed like laughter before falling into a silent trance. Corliss looked at her for moment, giving the child a quizzical look that she returned with a smile. Nothing seems wrong. Oh, Kia is talking. I'd better listen. she thought hearing her older sister peaking softly. "Thank you, Kia. That means a lot coming from you." she said, a smile still planted over her face. She hugged Kallie tightly before handing her off to Kianthra, her eyes staying on the quite baby in her friend's arms. A smile began to grow on her face as she watched the two. She had a feeling that someday those two would be inseparable. She leaned into Noah, kissing his lips softly. "I love you, and I always will." she breathed across his lips. A tingle went down her spine, a smile again on her lips.

[Noah Dale]

Noah watched as Kia was offered the young child. He bit his lip. Jesus he was bad. She was maybe a half and hour old and he was already protective over her. He gave her a small nod, hoping Corliss wouldn't notice. She would not be pleased with his actions. But as Kallie was shifted to Kia's arms, he almost burst into laughter. He never though that she would be so delicate with the child before. The worst he knew would be Miss Crenge, but like he said, he'd do anything for his girls. As Corliss turned to kiss his lips gently, a soft smile grew on his lips as he returned the kiss. "And I love you, Corliss, forever and always." he whispered low enough so Kianthra wouldn't hear and laugh at him. His began to pepper small kisses on her jaw, a toothy grin on his face as he did. "I'm so proud of you love, does it hurt?" he asked, one hand rubbing his back softly.
