Chapter Eight.

Mum tenderly knocked on the door and stepped back. She looked gorgeous, her hair loose, green eyes perfectly framed by her glasses with her makeup subtle and in a simple black dress and silver pumps. She could easily be thirty, not her actual age of forty.

A woman with blonde hair tied up and dark grey eyes in a deep blue blouse and white trousers opened the door.

"Oh hello! You must be Mrs Potter! I'm Narcissa"

"Actually it's Miss Potter. But you must call me Lily!"

"Oh, well, lovely to meet you! And are these two gorgeous boys yours?"

"Yes we are." My brother said confidently, leaning forward to shake her hand and peck her cheek. "I'm Joe and this is my brother Harry."

"Ah yes Harry! Draco's mentioned you."

"Lovely to meet you, Narcissa." I copied Joe's actions and pecked her on the cheek.

"Is anyone going to introduce me?" A voice emerged from behind Narcissa and put came a girl with blonde hair and very wide eyes, wearing a dress with a sheer panel exposing her cleavage and not leaving much to the imagination. I nudged Joe to stop him gaping.

"I'm Vulpecula. Lovely to meet you all!" She beamed with perfectly straight teeth at us.

"I'm Miss Potter but please call me Lily. And these are my boys. Joe," Indicating at my still speechless brother, "and this is Harry." Pointing at me, I smiled at her.

"Mum, Dad says the food's almost ready- Oh you brought dessert!" Vulpecula says, noticing the trifle held in Mum's delicate hands.

"Yes, I hope it's okay." Vulpecula took it from my Mum and presumably took it to the kitchen. We all followed her into their spacious kitchen with its purple AGA and wooden floorboards.

"What would everyone like to drink? Glass of wine, Lily?"

"Oh that would be lovely, white if you have it. Boys, what do you want?"

I'm about to tell her that I'd like a lemonade when Draco walks in.
