I'm sorry, you're here because...?

Benson grinned. "Yeah, I make a mean cuppa. How d'you take it?" He liked this woman, she seemed nice and, well, if Taneaka could talk to the woman after she had sleot with her husband meant she must be a good person. Normally his wife just ignored the wives of the men she slept with.
 
"I'd love to." Sam smiled at him and followed him into the kitchen. Rosie was asleep now so she was just trying to keep Bella quiet. "How long have you and Taneaka been together then??"
 
Benson shrugged and started filling the kettle. "Well, we've been engaged since birth but married since, let me see, we got married a month after she was sixteen. So that would be... twenty one years now." He grinned and put the kettle on before reaching for his special tea bags. He had got them on holiday and whenever he ran out he would always go back for more. Everyone loved them, he often wondered if it was some sort of magical tea.
 
"So, a long time then." Sam smiled. "I was married to Dervish for a little longer than that but not much. I think twenty-two years." She leant against the side and watched him boiling the water. "I knew him from when I was eleven though."
 
Benson smiled and poured the tea, carrying it over to her. He couldn't be bothered to use his wand for it when he had to go over anyway. "So, Sam, tell me about yourself." He grinned and handed over her mug before sitting next to her with his own mug.
 
Sam held both the babies in one arm and took the mug. "Thank you." She smiled. "I'm a mother of nine but I also look after my five nieces and nephews so I count them as my own children. I work in the ministry. I grew up in England but went to Hogwarts Scotland and then moved with Dervish to Sydney but we moved to New Zealand about a year a go. What about you??" She shrugged and took a sip of the tea. "Wow. That is nice."
 
Benson smiled. "Wow, I have two children, they both attend Durmstrang at the moment. I look after 'Neaka's children. They are mine no matter who she slept with for them to be born." He rolled his eyes and shook his head lovingly. He loved his wife, even if she was a bit of a get around. "I went to Durmstrang, have lived here in Bulgaria most of my life. For a while I lived in Scotland, where I met Jay, then I moved back here." He decided not to mention that he and Jay had gotten their first children engaged with their meeting. Of course, Jays' imprisonment had ended that deal by the wishes of his wife, Tracy.
