Dinner at Lissa's home was an informal affair unless they are hosting important guests, as such they only use the fine china when the needs call for it. Therefore, Harry's first dinner at their home was a casual one. Normally, the affair would be more formal but they decided to forego that this time since Harry is rather new to the home and wouldn't know how to act in that situation. Also it would possibly frighten him. Harry found himself seated between Lissa and Maribelle. The dinner for the evening was called a tater-tot casserole which is a rather easy dish to make. Harry looked down at his food, then his eyes darted back and forth between Lissa and Maribelle.

"Go ahead Harry, eat up." Maribelle encouraged. Harry nodded obediently, scooped some of the meal up in his fork and moved it up to his mouth. He blew on it to cool it faster and he takes a bite. His eyes widened at the unfamiliar taste and how good it was. Lissa giggled at his reaction. Chrom chuckles at him while Emmeryn just merely smiled. And Maribelle patted his head. Fredrick stood by in an immaculate butler outfit but with finger less gloves with a metal plate on the top of the hand.

Chrom turned to his longtime friend. "Frederick, we told you you don't have to wear that suit all the time."

"Sir, it is my duty as a butler of your home to dress appropriately for someone of my station." Fredrick said in a serious tone.

"You hate the suit." Lissa said flatly.

"Again it is part of the job description. Even if I despise the bland color." Fredrick said. Even as he said this, everyone in the room could see his clear discomfort.

"Perhaps its time to update his wardrobe." Chrom muses aloud.

"That would be most appreciated." Frederick said gratefully.

"Oh no, we are NOT letting you pick his clothes." Lissa said. "If anything, I'M picking!"

"Sis, you were the one who picked that outfit for him in the first place. "Besides, what's wrong with my taste in fashion?" Chrom asks.

"You'd have him wear bright Hawaiian shirts shorts and flip flops on cold winter days." Lissa deadpans.

"I would find it preferable, actually." Frederick tossed in.

"Only because you have a man crush on my brother." Lissa said.

Frederick's mouth formed into a line. "Well, you seem rather close to Miss Maribelle yourself, if you don't mind me saying." Emmeryn laughed at her sibling's antics.

Lissa blushed "Th-that's besides the point." she stuttered as Maribelle also blushed at Fredrick's words.

"You two are awfully red in the facial area." Emmeryn teased.

"What does that mean Miss Emmeryn?" Harry asks her.

"You'll have to wait until you're older Harry." she answered him.

"I ship it." The eldest sibling mouthed to her brother.

"Sis, you are not going to play matchmaker are you?" Chrom asks worriedly.

"We'll see, now, won't we?" Emmeryn replied slyly.

"Em, I love you but seriously, they don't need any interference from you." Chrom said. "They'll get together all on their own, I can tell." He whispered.

"Care to make a wager on that?" Emmeryn asks.

"How much?"

"If the two do not confess their affection towards each other before the end of the year then you'll get to decide on Fredrick's wardrobe." Emmeryn started "But if they do then you'll have to confess your affection towards both Sumia and Cordelia." she finished.

"...BOTH? If I lose, punish me, not them! Have you no idea the emotional pain it would cause them?!"

"Did you ever consider the emotional pain of just stringing them along?" Emmeryn rebutted "They deserve to know that you harbor affection towards them." she said.

"...But to tell them both I love them at once...Do you expect me to cheat on one of them?"

"No, I expect that they would respect the other's affection towards you and decide among themselves who should stay with you." Emmeryn replied while thinking 'Of course this could either backfire spectacularly or Chrom will lose his innocence by having two girlfriends share him.' she clears her throat "Now are the terms agreeable?" she asks her brother.

"...Very well...I accept...But on the condition that neither of us try to influence Lissa or Maribelle in any shape or form, that includes using Fredrick." Chrom stated. "And another condition...If I win, you have to tell everyone in this room about that time you got drunk."

"I thought we agreed that it never happened." Emmeryn scowled at the memory.

Chrom smirked. "Is it a fair wager?"

Emmeryn thought for a moment "...Very well, I accept your terms." she said.

"What are you two talking about over there?!" Lissa exclaimed.

"Nothing really Lissa." Emmeryn said. Lissa and Maribelle gave them suspicious glares, then turned their attentions back to Harry.

"Harry, how are you feeling dear?" Maribelle asks.

"Better." Harry admitted. "Thanks for being so nice to me...Everyone..."

"It was our pleasure Harry." Lissa said. And then she hugged him again. He was so adorable and cuddly. Emmeryn smiled and she too hugs Harry. Maribelle frowned as she saw that she was now blocked off from hugging him. Lissa pouted that Emmeryn was hugging Harry and not her. "Siiis." She whined. "I was hugging him first."

Emmeryn smirked "Do you think that I don't deserve to hug such a precious child?" she asks rhetorically. Lissa huffed and crossed her arms with a pout. Maribelle snickered at how Lissa was acting.

"Now, now, Lissa, let others have a turn."

"Don't wanna share my Harry." Lissa said. Harry blushed at her words. Maribelle rolls her eyes and lightly hits Lissa on the head. Lissa pouted. "Maaaariiiiii..."

"You asked for that one Lissa dear." Maribelle pointed out with a smug look on her face.

"This is payback for the hospital isn't it?" Lissa accused.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Maribelle feigned ignorance.

Lissa sighed. "I was trying to bring you out of your funk, meanie."

"Again, I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you sure that you didn't suffer from some sort of head trauma recently?" Maribelle replied before taking a sip of her teacup not hiding the smirk that was on her face.

"You're mean." Lissa muttered. "All of you are just mean..."

"Lissa you should've known that a long time ago." Chrom said chuckling at his sister's predicament.

"I did, believe me. But that doesn't mean I have to like it." Lissa said. Everyone laughed in response.

"Emmeryn, I have something I need to talk to you and Chrom about in private later." Maribelle whispered into Emmeryn's ear.

Emmeryn blinked, then looked over and nodded. "Of course, dear." She whispered back.

The rest of the dinner passed without incident, soon Harry was full and showed signs of sleepiness so Lissa volunteered to carry him to bed. Maribelle waited for Lissa to help explain what happened earlier to them. Harry yawned as Lissa scooped him into her arms, and rested his head on her shoulder, smiling softly. She carried him into her bedroom and she gently kissed him on the forehead "Sweet dreams Harry." she whispered. Harry smiled up at her cutely, then fell asleep. Lissa smiled and leaves the door partially open and she heads towards the study where Maribelle was waiting for her. "What's going on, Mari?" She asked.

"I'm nervous about what I'm about to tell your siblings Lissa. I mean how do you tell someone's best friend's relatives about magic?" she asks her. Lissa smiled and clapped her hand on Maribelle's shoulder.

"Mari, trust me. They'll understand, after all you're friends with me aren't you?" she asks her rhetorically.

"Yes...But...It's magic, Lissa...It's not something one just accepts."

"You could always pull a rabbit out of a hat to break the ice." Lissa joked. Maribelle looked at her flatly, then bonked her upside the head again. "Hey! I was trying to make you laugh." Lissa complained.

"This is serious!" Maribelle scolded.

"Yeah, I know that, but you're being too tense about it." Lissa said.

"It's just...What if they're unwilling to accept it?"

"Let me deal with it then. You're not going in this alone remember Mari?" she asks her best friend.

Maribelle sighed. "Yes...You're correct..."

"Now let me see a smile." Lissa said softly. Maribelle forced herself to smile. "Meh, it'll do." Lissa said. "Now come on!" Lissa opened the door and shoved Maribelle inside the study making her yelp in surprise.

"Lissa, don't shove!" Inside the room was Emmeryn sitting by the the fireplace which was currently unlit, Chrom was leaning against one of the bookshelves watching the two with an amused smirk on his face.

"Hello girls. What do you need to talk to us about?"

"I have something important to tell the both of you." Maribelle said and then proceeded to tell the two about what REALLY happened earlier that day. Chrom and Emmeryn listened intently as Maribelle spoke. And soon she explained everything about the wizarding world and the circumstances in which she lived in. When she finished Chrom was the first to say something after a long silence.

"Can you pull a rabbit out of a hat?" he asks eagerly. Maribelle stared at him, utterly dumbfounded. Lissa couldn't speak due to not being able to breathe from laughing too hard. Emmeryn facepalmed at Chrom's question.

Maribelle's eye twitched "I have a better idea: How about YOU be the rabbit." she said and transfigured his clothes to resemble a bunny outfit.

"OH MY GOD I CAN'T BREATHE!" Lissa laughed. At that moment Fredrick entered the room due to the commotion, he stared slack-jawed at Chrom wearing the outfit.

"...I shall be off...not laughing..." He said as he turned to leave the room.

"The scary part is that I believe him." Lissa said. Then the loud, boisterous sound of Frederick's laughter was picked up by the occupants of the room. "Then again I've been wrong before." Lissa stated.

"...Please return my clothes to normal..." Chrom mumbled.

"Lissa, will you please get a camera for blackmail purposes?" Maribelle asks sweetly.

"Emmeryn, make her stop." Chrom squeaked.

"Sorry little brother but you literally asked for this to happen." she replied with a smirk on her face.

"I didn't intend for it to turn out like this!" Maribelle laughed when Lissa came in with a camera.

"Take several at least, dear."

Lissa and Maribelle laughed evilly "Would you like a few sister?" Lissa asked Emmeryn.

"Yes, I'll put them up in a portrait in the hallways."

"Or better yet, I'll show these to Sumia and Cordelia." Emmeryn said much to Chrom's horror.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!"

"For the hell of it brother." Lissa said simply snapping pictures away.

"I THOUGHT YOU WANTED A SERIOUS CONVERSATION!"

"It stopped being serious the moment you asked for a rabbit out of a hat." Maribelle pointed out.

After several humiliating photos were taken the comedic moment finally came to an end much to Chrom's relief. Maribelle sighed and looked to Emmeryn.

"I hope this doesn't change things between us. I was afraid to reveal this to you and your brother for good reason," Maribelle said. Emmeryn smiled warmly.

"Maribelle, you've been a good friend to Lissa, why would I condemn you for using magic? Magic from what you told me can be used for both good and evil." she said.

Maribelle smiled and teared up. "You're too kind, Emmeryn..."

Chrom cleared his throat "So now that the revelations are finished, what are your plans concerning Harry?" he asks the witch.

"I...I don't know..." Maribelle admitted. "I just wanted to get him away from those savage beasts..."

Emmeryn looked thoughtful for a moment "Perhaps you could tutor Harry in controlling his magic to prevent accidents from happening?" she suggested.

Maribelle blinked. "Well...I suppose I could..."

"It's not like you have any other ideas do you?" Emmeryn asks.

Maribelle smiled. "Yes...I'll do it."

"We'll have to discuss what Harry will need to learn in more detail later. But we should get some sleep, it is getting rather late." Emmeryn commented looking at the clock.

Lissa hopped to her feet. "I'll take you to the guest room, Mari." She offered.

What about you Lissa?" Maribelle asks.

"Harry's up in my room. I'll stick with him." Lissa replied.

Maribelle nodded "After what he's been through, he would like to see a familiar face when he wakes up." she said.

"Exactly." Lissa nodded. "C'mon, let's go." The two make their way to Lissa's bedroom and they look on Harry's cute form. Lissa clenched her fists and squealed softly with delight. "So CUUUUUUUTE..."

Maribelle smiled "I know, at least he's in good hands now." she said.

Lissa nodded. "Yeah...The whole family will take good care of him."

Maribelle looked at how happy she was and for some reason her heart sped up "A-anyway, goodnight Lissa." she stutters slightly but Lissa did not hear it.

"Night, Mari." Lissa waved with a smile. Maribelle quickly runs back to the guest room and quickly shuts the door, her heart beating like crazy.

'What's going on...?' She thought. 'What is this...' "Maybe the events of today has me agitated. Yes, that's it just getting agitated, nothing a good night's sleep won't cure." Maribelle said to herself. She approached the bed, and climbed into it, pulling the blankets up to her chin. She closes her eyes and for a moment the image of Lissa playing with Harry pops into her head. She let a small blush come across her face moments before she fell asleep.
