Shack and Shaq (Shack Attack?)
The year was 2009 and Kingsley Shacklebolt hadn't had a vacation in three years. He likely wouldn't take one for another three had his undersecretary arranged an international portkey for him behind his back and gotten in touch with Garrison, essentially forcing him to go visit his family in Phoenix, Arizona.
He knew who Shaquille O'Neal was - he'd played Quidditch for the American national team (and was the only good player on the team) in his early twenties before quitting to concentrate on basketball. Kingsley was a big fan, so when Garrison mentioned that Shaq had "chirped" or "twittled" or something (whatever that was) that he was at 5 & Diner, the two brothers decided to go meet him.
They didn't hit it off right away, to be fair. Shaquille didn't have fond memories of losing to the British team, and they had an argument over who would pay, with Kingsley's unfamiliarity with the American Dollar causing him to lose. He didn't like losing.
The two Shacklebolts thought it would be the last they would see of the NBA superstar, the next day he "twiddled" again. This man Shaq had just met was the Minister for Magic in Britain? He'd had no idea. He wanted to make up for his rudeness. They went out. They went out again. They went out a third time and no one but Kingsley was surprised.
It was a difficult relationship, since both had large commitements on opposite sides of the world, but Shack could send international portkeys for Shaq and when Shaq finally retired from basketball for good, they decided to finally tie the knot and start their family.
SHAQUELINE SHACKLEBOLT-O'NEAL
- Adopted, since Kingsley has a weak spot for orphans. Also because two men can't actually procreate.
- Tall, like her dads.
- Shaq taught her how to play basketball at an early age.
- Shack taught her how to ride a broom from a early age.
- First word was "Shiiiiiit." Second was "Kazaam!" Both Shack's fault, though Shaq was not that amused with the second.
- Gryffindor.
- Will grow up to be a famous dueller.
