Dinner and Packing
Chapter 4
Stella invited everyone to her home for dinner, which was accepted. Whatever they were expecting was not what they saw when they stepped out of the floo into Stella's Library meeting room. Stella's home was a 17th century plantation the house was large, very large.
Stella took them into the hall way and into the dinning room when a middle-aged woman appeared and announced that dinner would be served in a few minutes. That was when teddy decided he was unhappy. Stella looked at the woman and spoke " Gina can you fix a bottle for Teddy and have Samuel bring in the bassinet you have stashed in my old nursery. " Gina never even blinked and said of course, turned and looked at Remus and asked if he had a bottle and formula, which Harry retrieved from the diaper bag and handed to her.
Moments later Samuel came in levitating a beautiful hand carved cradle/bassinet, which he placed by the wall. Remus took Teddy over and began changing Teddy's diaper and clothing. By the time he was done Gina returned with the bottle and the food appeared on the table.
After dinner conversations turned to what Stella wanted. She explained that she had no desire to live in a country that let a crazy old man hurt so many people and never question it.
Narcissa in true Black fashion stated that it was settled that they would go home pack their things and move to New Orleans and they could sell their British properties at a later date.
Stella looked at everyone and explained there rooms would be ready by lunch time tomorrow.
Harry spoke quietly with Draco, Narcissa, and Lucius and turned to Sirius and Remus and explained that He, Draco, Narcissa, and Lucius could handle packing their thing and they did not have to make the return trip. Remus protested but was silenced by a look from Narcissa.
Gina informed Sirius that his room was ready and was across the hall from the nursery and next to Stella's room and Remus' room was next to the nursery. Sirius and Remus shared a look and Sirius told her that Remus would sleep in his room and they would just bring the bassinet into their room, because they were not ready to be away from him yet. Gina smiled and nodded her head and left.
Remus yawned and Stella said she would show them to their room. They made their way up the stairs with Teddy in Remus' arms and Stella holding Sirius' hand. Their room was amazing the room was decorated in creams, tans, and browns in an alcove to the right of the four-poster bed where a crib, changing table, dresser, and rocking. Remus had tears in his eyes as he hugged Stella. Gina stuck her head in and informed them that the dresser was full of clothes and there were plenty of diapers and changing supplied in the table.
Stella hugged both men and wished them good night.
