"A letter for you, Mr. Malfoy." Flitwick said, handing the envelope to Lucius and disappearing. Lucius opened the letter and read it.

"What is it?" Narcissa asked her husband.

"It's the Potters', they want to come for a visit."

"That's wonderful, you will tell them they come, won't you?"

"I suppose I should." Lucius sighed.

"Lucius, you really need to let it go. Lily and James have been married for 25 years…And who knows, maybe something good will come out of them staying here."

"Narcissa," Lucius said seriously. "I know what you're thinking, but I will not have one of my daughters' married to Harry Potter."

"Fine, but I don't see a better choice and I want both the girls married to someone suitable. I want to know they're both well off before I'm gone."

"Narcissa, there are plenty of men more suited for our daughters than Potter."

"I don't see what you have against him. He comes from a very good family."

Lucius snorted. "His father does, but I can't say the same about the mother."

"Lucius, whatever it is you have against Lily you're going to be perfectly civil while they're here."

"Yes, yes, I know."

"What are we talking about?" Stella asked, coming into the Dinning Room and sitting next to her mother.

"The Potters' are coming for a visit." Narcissa informed her daughter.

"Wonderful. Harry wrote me and said he might be coming."

"Harry wrote you?" Lucius said warily.

"Yes, we've been corresponding for a while." Narcissa shot her husband a triumphant smile. "He wants to come because he wants you to meet his fiancée." It was Lucius's turn to smile.

"Fiancée you say?" He said.

"Yes. Her name's Ginny."

"Does she come from a good family?" Lucius continued his questioning.

"It's a large family from what I gather…does it really matter if her family has money or not?"

"Of course it matters." Lucius said, taking a sip of his drink.

"What does her family do?" Narcissa pressed.


"Ron," Neville said. "There's a letter for you."

"Thanks." Ron took the letter from Neville and quickly read it.

"Whose it from?" Hermione asked.

"My sister, she says she's coming for a visit with her fiancée." Ron said, reading directly from the letter.

"Whose her fiancée?" Luna questioned, sliding into the seat next to Hermione.

"Bloody hell!" Ron yelled, dropping the letter. "Her fiancées Harry Potter!" The servants' hall went quiet.

"Harry Potter?" Cormac said in disbelief. "Your sister's marrying Harry Potter?"

"Shut it, Cormac." Ron shot back.

"Wonder how she managed that." Morgana added.

"What's that suppose to mean, Pendragon?" Ron said, turning on her.

"I only meant-"

"That's enough, all of you." Mrs. Pomfrey interrupted. "Ron, congratulations on your sister's engagement. I hope they'll be very happy, now everyone get back to work."


"A SERVANT!?" Lucius screamed. "A COUSIN OF MINE IS MARRYING A SERVANT!?"

"I told you wouldn't like it." Stella said.

"Lucius calm down." Narcissa said. "Now, Stella's only said that the girls brother is a servant. The girl herself may very well be something else."

"What's with all the shouting?" Draco asked, entering the room with Andromeda behind him.

"The Potters' are coming for a visit and Harry is bringing his fiancée." Narcissa explained.

"Why would that cause father to scream?" Andromeda asked.

"He's just found out that the girl's brother's a servant." Narcissa continued.

"Really?" Draco said, astonished. "What the girls name?"

"Ginny Weasley." Stella said.

"Weasley? Like the footman downstairs?" Andromeda questioned.

"Yes, I'm afraid so." Lucius said through clenched teeth. "Please excuse me." He said getting up from the table and leaving the room.

"When will they be here?" Draco asked, sitting across from his mother. "Well, I'll send a reply right after breakfast, so probably not till tomorrow. Depending on how long it takes Archimedes to deliver it."


At the Potter Home

"Mum," Harry said, entering the sitting room. "You've got a letter from Aunt Narcissa."

"Thank you, dear." Lily opened the letter and skimmed it. "Wonderful! She says they'd be delighted to have us and Ginny would be more than welcome."

"Excellent! I'll go tell her." He smiled, heading towards the fireplace.

"Oh, Harry," His mother stopped him. "Make sure you warn her about them, particularly Lucius."

"Of course."

Harry grabbed a handful of floo powder and ducked into the fireplace.

"The Burrow." He said clearly. The emerald flames engulfed him and a moment later he found himself in the Weasley's fireplace

"Harry?" Mr. Weasley asked. "What are you doing her? It's a bit late."

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Weasley, but I need to talk to Ginny quickly."

"Alright," He sighed. "Come in and have a seat, she'll be down in a minute." Harry dusted himself off as Arthur headed upstairs to get his daughter.

A few moments later, Ginny came down and sat next to Harry.

"What is it you wanted to see me about?" She asked.

"My mother received a reply from my aunt, we're going and you can come." He told her excitedly.

"That's wonderful! But are you sure it's ok with them? Your aunt and uncle, I mean, I don't want to impose-"

"Nonsense. They'll love you."

"Really?"

Harry sighed, little got past Ginny. "There are a few things I should tell you about them."


Glinda followed Hermione and Morgana down the steps to the servant's quarters. When they reached to bottom they found a man standing there.

"Can I help you?" Morgana asked. The man turned. He had pale skin and black hair with black eyes and robes to match. "I'm new valet. I knocked, but no one answered."

"So you just let yourself in?" Morgana said with narrow eyes she was clearly suspicious.

"I'm Glinda Upland." The head housemaid said, stepping forward and offering her hand.

"Severus Snape." He replied, taking her hand and shaking it.

"Ah, there you are." Flitwick said entering the hall. "Come on, I'll get Cormac to show your room."

The three women stepped aside for him to pass.

"I don't see him lasting long." Morgana said when he was out of sight.

"Why do you say that?" Hermione asked.

"No reason." Morgana said, and with that she left them.


Later that night in the servant's hall they had all sat down to dinner when Lucius Malfoy appeared, they all quickly got to their feet.

"Please, don't I 'll only be a moment. Severus, old friend," He said, making his way to his new valet. "How are you? It's been far to long."

"I'm very good, Mr. Malfoy, thank you for giving me this job."

"Not a problem…well, I'll let you get back to your dinner." Lucius gave his friend one last smile before departing. They all stared at Severus in shock. "You never asked." He said simply, sitting back down.


I have recently starting watching Downton Abbey. It's a great show and if you haven't seen it you should. Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to do a Harry Potter version of Downton Abbey and I came up with this. I had fun coming up with who everyone should be. And, as you probably noticed, I did add a few non Harry Potter characters in there. I almost made Hermione Anna, but I decided I wanted her with someone else and then Lily was almost Anna, but then we couldn't have Harry and I can't see anyone else with Severus so Glinda became Anna. And of course Morgana Pendragon is from Merlin. I almost made Umbridge O'Brien, but Umbridge never feels sorry for what she's does, O'Brien does sometimes. I know Morgana doesn't towards the end of the series, but this Morgan that still has good in her. Anyway, I hope you like it! Please review!
