Meeting the Family

Severus was watching the train leave and sighed greatly. He no longer had to teach the poor excuse for students and watch them blow up everything. But most importantly he no longer had to wear his disguise. Albus asked him to charm himself to be older and a bit repulsive so the students, particularly females, wouldn't swoon over him. He practically ran back to the castle to discharm himself. Once he was back inside his sanctuary he looked in the mirror and willed the charm to be lifted. Unknown to anyone but Albus, Severus has telepathic ability and rarely needs a wand. He walked into the bathroom and was startled by the face that greeted him.

There in the mirror was the face of a 26-year-old wizard. He had long silky black hair down to his shoulders, deep blue eyes that were outlined in a deep green. He stood at 6'2" and was skinny but not disgustingly skinny. He had a perfect set of abs, well-defined chest, arms, and legs. He was muscular but not noticeably because of the robes he wears. His face wasn't a sallow as the students know him to be, but it was pale with the hint of tan.

Afraid the he was becoming obsessed with himself; Severus left his room and walked up to the fireplace, ordered some food from the house elves and settled himself in for a good nights sleep.

Dan and Roseland were getting out of the fireplace and were greeted by Lucius and Narcissa.

"Brother, how good it is to see you." Lucius said and hugged Dan.

"Yes it is nice to see you both" Narcissa said while helping Roseland out of the fireplace and hugging her.

"Aunt Narcissa, I've missed so much, how have you been?" Roseland asked.

"I've been fine, but I miss having a female friend to talk to." Narcissa said with a twinkle in her eye.

"Luc, I don't believe you remember my daughter, Roseland." Dan said trying to break the tension that filled the air.

"Roseland it's a pleasure to meet you. I remember you when you were about 2." Lucius said venomously.

"Lucius, it a pleasure to see you again." Roseland said stiffly.

"Let's get you two situated."Narcissa said quickly.

They followed her up two flights of stairs and found themselves face to face with three doors. The first door, right in front of the stairs, was Dan's room; the next door was their son's room, Draco; and the third door was to be Roseland's. The Malfoys let Dan and Roseland unpack and would send someone up when it was dinnertime.

With that said, Roseland walked into her room and nearly fainted. The room was 3 times bigger than hers was, painted in a gorgeous pale blue with white trimmings. Across from the door was a fireplace, that was lit, and next to the fireplace, on both sides, were bookcases. Next to the door was a dresser and door. The door led to a closet that was the size of her room back in the States. Next to the closet door was another door that led to the bathroom. The bathroom was another beauty. It was decorated in white, beige, and gold. There was a tub, a shower, and a toilette, of course. Roseland quickly unpacked everything for the bathroom and started to work on her clothes. She took her dresses, skits, and good shirt and hung them up in the closer. She put her jeans, tees, panties, bras, and thongs in the dresser. She was about to unpack her CD's when there was a knock on her door.

"Come in" she said.

"Miss, dinner is ready" the creature said and disappeared quickly.

Roseland stopped what she was doing and walked downstairs to the dining hall. There she found her dad, and Aunt Narcissa. Thy waited for Lucius to arrive before they ate. Dinner was simple, a roast, mashed potatoes, and salad. (A/N: I don't know what they eat but this is what I had.) There was no conversation during the meal, Roseland couldn't have been happier. After dinner they all adjourned to the study for some tea. They were starting a conversation when the doorbell rang. The person came into the study shortly after arriving and was shocked to see guests. It was Draco, he finally arrived home from the station. Draco is Roseland's step-cousin. He is 16 about 5'7" with blond hair and ice blue eyes with a soccer players build.

"Uncle Dan?" The boy asked.

"Yes, the one and only. Come over here and give me a hug." Dan said and hugged Draco.

Draco turned towards Roseland and studied her for a moment.

"Draco, this is your cousin, Roseland. You met her when you were 4 and she was 6." Narcissa said.

"Hello, cousin" Roseland said awkwardly.

"Hello" Draco said.

Draco made himself comfortable in a chair next to the fireplace and next to Roseland. Dan and Lucius talked about things they missed mainly how their mother has been and about school. Narcissa turned toward Roseland and asked if she would like to accompany her to town tomorrow. Roseland said yes immediately and they began to talk about what stores they would go to. Around 11:30 Roseland started to get tired and wished everyone a good night and retired for the evening.

The next morning Roseland was woken up by her aunt. "Wake up sleepy head, it's 9 in the morning" Narsicca said softly.

Roseland got up and looked around, she asked her aunt what type of clothes she should wear and was told to put on a nice summer dress. Roseland quickly took a shower, put on her dress, applied a small amount of makeup, dried her hair, and walked downstairs. There her cousin greeted her. They stared at each other for a minute then Draco asked her a rather odd question.

"Are you really my cousin?" He asked.

"No, I'm your step-cousin, my mom had me before she met my dad and they got married. He adopted me then my mom died and my dad got full custody of me." She said.

"What about your real father?" He asked trying to be polite.

"Well I don't know much about him, but I know that he is an asshole and a very powerful wizard. He left my mom once he found out that she was having me. I really don't care what happens to him" she said bitterly.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." He said sincerely.

They stopped talking and headed into the foyer to find Narcissa waiting for Roseland. At the last moment, Draco asked if he could come along. Narcissa said yes and they apparated to Diagon Alley.
