Cody frowned, "You guys don't count."

But Conan didn't want to argue about this now. He looked at Ginny, "Listen, Gin. Can we please just agree to at least announce him as Prince?" He asked, painfully trying to compromise, "And you guys can bring him some other time?"

Ginny scowled, "Conan, I said no! I don't want him to be announced!"

Conan scowled back, matching her dark look.
"If all we say is that you have a sin and that he is the heir to the throne, what damage can it do?"

Cody looked between his mother and Conan for a moment, still moody and angry. He glanced at Xaver, then down at the ground, his anger boiling underneath the surface.

Sirius stood motionless, watching them discuss the problem back and fourth. He seemed to be out of the conversation (more f-ing literally then you think ha you guys left me) but he didn't mind listening, afraid that if he said something wrong he could do more damage.

His side had fallen to Conan's, and he supposed that partly included Cody now as well. Cody was right, intelligent, and perfect for Prince. He didn't think Ginny should make that decision for him. He kept his thoughts in his head, not daring to speak.

Jessie watched and listened in fascination.  How could Cody say such things to his father? Of course, almost every child says something like that at some point, but it still came as a shock.  She felt that Ginny should be able to control Cody's life still, but it would be a great experience for Cody to be Prince.  No matter how bad it turns out, Cody would come out of it more knowledgeable than before.

Jessie realized that Cody would get lots of attention if he was prince.  She thought about how hard it must be for Albus to be Harry Potter's son.  He had gotten through it, but it must be hard for him to see Cody about to go through the same thing.  Jessie side-stepped slightly until she was right next to Albus, her hand brushing his lightly.  She tried to fit all of her emotions in that single touch, her support for Albus, her love for him.  She wanted to let him know that no matter what happened, she would still be there for him.  She wanted to let him know through that single touch.

Her gaze focused on the scene before her.  Conan and his bodyguards, who hadn't moved once.  Ginny, Cody, and Xaver, anger showing on their faces, and heard clearly in their words. Sirius, Mira, Albus, and herself, all listening quietly, afraid to say the wrong thing.  She wished that Ginny would decide to let Cody be Prince so that Conan would leave them all in peace.  Hopefully make all the tension in the small area go away.
