Theo arrived home later than he'd planned, the surprise encounter with Romilda delaying him. He would have wished to arrive before Gabrielle awoke, but the time with Romilda had sated him enough that he thought he could better resist the Veela in her. After his meeting with Fleur, he'd certainly needed it.

He'd rechecked that the food was still hot before turning onto Hill Street, and now he stood outside his house, checking to see if his wards had been triggered.

They had. Which meant Gabrielle had tried to leave and failed. He had a feeling she wouldn't be happy.

Not risking anything, Theo scanned the house to see where Gabrielle was. The charm he'd put on her wand told him she was close to the door. An ambush, he thought with a smile before he Apparated straight to the back door, knowing she wouldn't expect him to come from behind ( ... )

Gabrielle jumped, nearly firing a hex when she heard sounds behind her, only the thought of Beelzebub being there stopping her from firing a rather nasty hex, something along the lines of sectumsempra.

She darted into the kitchen, her wand pointed directly at Theo's throat and hissing, "What in zhe bloody 'ell," thank God for English curses, they had such a nice effect coming from non-English lips, "did you do to my wand? And your wards would not let me leave, I demand to leave zhis instant!"

Gabrielle was a hair away from mauling/hexing Theo until he was begging for mercy, but her flight instinct took over, just barely keeping her in check. But should he try to deny her, she was fully prepared to commit the murder needed to drop his wards.

Theo feigned a look of shock and surprise as Gabrielle spoke. He blinked several times, then he smiled at her.

'Well of course my wards didn't allow you out,' he said as if it was the most natural thing in the world. 'Beelzebub opens doors quite easily, you know,' he continued, turning his back as if he hadn't seen the murderous glare in her eyes and pulling down a few plates from the shelf. Turning back around he placed them on the table between them.

'My intentions were of course not to anger you or keep you from leaving, but if you had left, I'm quite sure Beelzebub would have followed, seeing how much he seems to like you,' he explained nodding towards the dog who was sitting firmly by her side.

'Besides, and I mean this in the nicest of way of course,' he said with a smile. 'You are a thief. How was I to know you wouldn't leave with my most precious possession?' he asked, as if the dog would be it ( ... )

"And my wand? Eet ees different, monsieur, zhere ees no doubt of zhat," She said angrily, though it was mostly a front. His explanations did make sense, Gabrielle was a thief, and the dog had fallen in love with her ( ... )

'What do you mean, they're not letting you out?' Theo asked, feigning shock while still keeping an eye on Gabrielle's temper. She seemed prone to violence, and he had no intentions of letting that happen.

'Try again!' he said, using his wand to open the door out. He watched Beelzebub immediately bounding for the door, and yelp when he was repelled back.

'That's odd,' Theo said frowning, waiving his wand again, adding a few additional wards to the mix.

'Try now then,' he said with a gentle smile, gesturing towards the door.

Gabrielle darted forward to make sure the dog was alright, breathing a sigh of relief when Beelzebub licked her face, apparently none the worse for his encounter with the wards.

She reached forward cautiously, pressing her lips together tightly when her hand wasn't allowed past a certain point. She fought to keep her temper under control, it didn't seem as though snapping would do anyone any good, after all, it couldn't possibly be Theo's fault if it wasn't letting out Beelzebub, his 'most precious possession'.

"Monsieur Nott..." She said warningly, the strain showing in her voice. Her tone suggested that if he didn't do all he could to drop the spells surrounding his house, he'd shortly have a raging Veela on his hands, one that would hold him accountable for not being able to leave.

There was a clear warning in her voice, but Theo chose to ignore it. Instead he walked up to the door and felt the wards he'd just put up, prepared for the shock it would give him.

Pulling his hands back as he felt the tingle burn, he waived his wand again, muttering all kinds of well known counter spells he knew wouldn't work, trying the door in between spells to "see if it had worked".

After the sixth try, he sighed in defeat and gave Gabrielle an unhappy look.

'It seems we're both stuck,' he said.

Gabrielle closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, attempting to stay calm. She knew, or thought she knew, that it wasn't Theo's fault, but it didn't stop a very loud, very shrill part of her mind from demanding she solve the problem with violence- in Theo's general direction, of course.

"'Ow are we going to get free?" She asked, her voice and manner unnaturally calm. It was tempting to try and break the wards herself, it wouldn't've been the first time she'd broken into a house or building with complicated wards, but if they weren't responding to the one who'd put them up, who knew what they'd do to Gabrielle?
