Jason leans against the tree, legs stretched out before him. Ella is sitting in his lap, leaning against him, sleepily listening to him as he reads from the book in his hands. He'd taken her for a walk in the woods around the house, staying within the boundaries of the wards. They'd played in the lake for a bit and had a picnic.

Now he was reading her a bedtime story. Maybe 'Harry Potter' was a bit old for her, but at least she was paying attention.
