Chapter 4- Grandparents
Promptly, at three o'clock the doorbell of the great house rang and when Lucas opened the door, there stood at short, chubby woman, with and abundance of grey hair and a short, skinny man with a hat a top his head.
"Well, hello Lucas." His grandmother said, with red lipstick visible on her big teeth.
"Hi Nanny." Lucas replied.
"You are to refer to me as Grandma Pontale. I'm too good for "Nanny". Lucas's grandmother scolded.
"And you son, you are to refer to me as Grandfather Pontale. No Papa or grandpa, it's Grandfather Pontale." Lucas's grandfather added in.
Lucas's grandparents proceeded into the house, throwing their bags into Lucas's hands. Lucas obediently brought the bags upstairs to their room as his parents greeted his grandparents.
"Hello Mother." Lucas's father said as she greeted her parents. "Hi Dad."he added in. Lucas's mother said her greetings also and his parents lead the guests to the couch in the living room.
"So, how's Pearle? What house is she in at Hogwarts? Slytherin, right?" asked Grandmother Pontale anxiously.
"Pearle's fine, but she's not in Syltherin.. She's in Gyrffindor. We were disappointed, but Dumbledore wouldn't move her for us." replied Genova.
"Terrible, just terrible. I told you she was a bad hat when she was born, but NO! No one believed me. And I bet you that boy of yours, he going to be just like his sister!"
