Elizabeth left with her brother, and now it was just Me, Fred and a pizza. We didn't bring her upstairs, not really having time, we just explained some of the products to her down in the shop after we closed and then her brother showed up tapping on the window. She explained that she would be 'shopping the next day or the one after that' and her brother said she'd defiantly 'come and visit'. It made Fred laugh when he seen her glare at her brother, but he had bought like six pygmy puffs for the baby violet.

"I think we need an even wider client tell " Fred grinned finishing off his pizza and grabbing a butterbeer.

"Oh really" I asked eye brows raised "What's next ? We only finished the moody glasses the other day "

"We need a baby line " He explained "You seen O'Connor's wife! "

"Well what do they expect to buy out of a joke shop for a baby " I laughed "Multi flavoured sucker? "

"Yeah, and Rainbow wands, or maybe Hair-clips that sing, and we could try a book with children jokes like even younger than we've done " He was bouncing with excitement.

George just shook his head "You like the babies mammy? " He asked grinning, Fred flushed "You know she works like in America " I said teasing Fred "I don't think you can even get apparition to go that far"

"Well at least the whole class didn't see all my body " Fred snapped moodily. Then he grinned "Just my identical brothers "

"They might as well have seen yours then so " I grinned thawing a napkin into the bin arcross the room.

The days past quickly, Elizabeth didn't pop in but I had gotten a letter from Jason that she was shopping. I wondered if I had made my emotions about the whole things a little too clear to the younger girl. I didn't want to hurt her really, she seemed nice.

I walked into a cafe in Diagonal Alley. I checked the name twice before I walked in. And there sitting in the corner was Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott. Grinning I walked over and slipped in beside Draco.

"Finally you're here Ivy " Blaise teased. "We don't get to see you for like four months, and then you decide to get lost yesterday and today your late "

I threw the menu at the handsome Italian, we had meet during one of Killian's Book readings in Rome. Blaise was very smart, almost a genius in my eyes and we got on like a house on fair "Not my fault, you just said go to the usual cafe forgetting that I didn't know where the usual was " I teased straight back.

"How have ye bin? " Theodore asked smiling brightly like me. "Ah heard that yer stayin' wi' Triplets, hows that workin' out? " He asked, his Scottish twang always brought a smile to my lips.

Theodore was a Scottish, he was practically family now since Tracey, Jason wife was his mother's younger Sister. We got to hang out more since he was invited to some of the family parties with his family. But I had met him before we were officially cousins at a party and we just clicked.

"I've been grand " I grinned "Jason and Tracey grabbed me first, but I moved to Jasmines today thats why I'm late , Johnny wanted to make sure my room was set up just right" I laughed with an eye roll.

"Alright, Ah see " Theodore grinned back at me. My hair was up today in a stylish bun, I was wearing a black blazer and a light purple v-neck top and a short, black, tube skirt and I had on black high-heal boots. I enjoyed to dress up, as did Blaise and Theo, both in shirts and slacks.

"So.. ." Draco whispered into my ear "How's that Paddy boy? " He asked kissing behind my ear quickly while the two boys were distracted by talking about Jasmine and Johnny for a second.

I placed a smile on my face and turned to Draco "He was banned from the house three months ago " I whispered back, his eyes flickered from my eyes to my lips "After they told me about ... "

"Elizabeth? " I heard one of the twins voice question. Looking over my shoulder quickly I seen both twins and three girls, three very tall, very pretty girls.

"Bugger off Weasley " I heard Draco sneer dropping his arm behind me on the booth we were sitting in. "We're engaged in a private meeting with a friend. "

Sighing I wondered why Draco felt that he always needed to be protective of me, I remember asking him to come to a family party before and all he did was make sure Paddy was not touching me in any way. Standing up, I walked over to the twins. I didn't know who was who since neither of them were wearing the tie's from the shop.

"I was shopped out on Monday and got lost yesterday, but I was going to come by after I said hey to Blaise and Theo " I explained with a small smile, the three girls had walked off before I came over after spotting a empty cosy booth table.

"What about Malfoy?" One of them asked, I sighed and rubbed the spot at back of my ear where he kissed.

"He's more their friend, not mine. He annoys me more than anything to be honest. Kind of clingy " I laughed lightly.

"How do you know Nott and Zabini? " The other of the two asked softly.

"Theodore is Jason's wife's Sisters son " I explained with a laugh "And Blaise and I meet each other years ago in Italy"

"Oh " the other grinned "Well we'll come back for you after we eat, our shop is on the other side of town and we don't want you to get lost , again" he teased.

"By the way " One said quickly, "These are our friends from school, Alison, Katie and Claire, their all either quiddage players or trainers " I guessed it was George because he looked slightly panicked about the whole situation.

That explained why there so fit, "They could easily be models " I muttered under my breath, the twins chuckled and one of them patted my shoulder, obviously hiding a in-side joke. "See ya"

I walked back to the group, Theodore had taken my spot so I happily sat down beside Blaise who threw his arm over my shoulders. "They we're serious then? " He asked eyeing the ginger boys "I just thought you'd have more time... " he sighed squeezing my shoulder gently.

"Yeah, yoo've had whit? Sixteen years tae get used tae th' idea " Theo chuckled

"I meant I thought she wouldn't be like near him till she turned at least twenty-one" Blaise explained.

"Lets jist eat " Theodore demanded when a pretty waitress came over, smiling brightly at the group. After laughing and grinning with my two friends for most of the meal I forgot that Draco was even there. He hadn't said much. He just sat there eating and nodding at the right spots.

"What do you mean till she was twenty one? " He finally asked Blaise when the waitress handed us our ice creams, or in my case cheese cake. I glanced at him, so he was alive, I thought with a grin.

"What? " Blaise asked eyeing up his mint ice cream with desire in eyes eyes.

"I'm getting married " I explained quickly, Draco's jaw dropped "But not till I'm older than seventeen and I've already meet him "

"Who is he?" Draco asked suddenly very protective and jealous again. Blaise and Theodore had asked him to try not to ruin the fun earlier before Elizabeth arrived because they both hadn't seen their best friend Ivy in ages and Draco was quiet a little player and they didn't want Ivy to be forced down that path.

"Doesnae matter " Theodore said seriously eyeing his best friend. Draco knew that Theo was a lot stronger than him and with Blaise's skilled wand work he'd better shut up.

I finished my cheese cake first "Blaise you have to come over to Jasmines house later Kay? I have so many new books to show you " I grinned, tugging out a piece of parchment and handing him over it, the address was written on it. Theodore frowned "whit abit me? " he said throwing a clean napkin at me.

I threw it back "I've got concert tickets for Saturday night for you and me " I smirked "think I'd leave you out? " I teased, he grinned brightly at me.

"mebbe " Theodore chuckled.

Two bodies appeared at the side of the table. It was Fred and George. "Hey ready to go? " one of them asked

"Yeah just finished " I smiled up at them, they nodded and walked to the counter to pay for their food. I pulled out a few gallons and placed them on the table "Since I missed yous yesterday " I smiled kissing Blaise's cheek then standing up and going around the table to kiss Theodore's "See you " I waved "Bye Draco " I smiled.
