Elphias had bought a little cottage in north Scotland.
Devious location. Outside a small village.
Elphias ran around like crazy. Had to make everything perfect before Albus arrived.
Set the table. The new forks.
Put the fancy books out.
Smile. Breathe.
Someone walked up to the house.
Albus knocked on the open door. "Hello…"
"Albus!"
"This is a lovely place", Albus said, looked around the hallway.
"Come in, come in! I've made dinner!"
Elphias almost danced into the kitchen. Flushing.
He poured them white wine. "From France."
"Oh."
"Busy as ever?"
"Same old same old."
"I've met a man, Albus."
