The room was quiet for a moment, which was truly a monumentous occurrence in the Malfoy household, before Ginny turned back to her daughters.
"Now, about these wards..."
Sara gulped, and Robyn quickly broke in.
"So, what are those potions for?"
Ginny looked undecided, then shook her head, resigned. "All right, you're getting away with it this time, but if either one of you so much as touches a wand before you turn eleven, I'll...I'll...I'll turn you into ferrets!"
The twins glanced at each other, nonplussed, and Draco gave her a mild glare.
"Ginny, must you bring that up?"
Despite herself, Ginny couldn't help a chuckle, but she quickly schooled her expression. "Sorry, love. Consider the subject closed."
The girls obviously didn't share her opinion, however, and she was willing to bet they were mentally filing it away under 'Things to ask Uncle Ron when the parents aren't around'. They could deal with that when it came, however, and Ginny put it out of her mind, hefting the package. Glancing at the dutch door that led to the hallway, she raised her voice a bit.
"Ruth, Nathan! Stop lurking and come in here."
A rather surprised blonde head popped up in the window as Ruth rose from her crouch and unlocked the door, her brother following her into the room.
"Sorry, mum," Nathan began rather sheepishly, before Ginny cut him off, shaking her head.
"I wanted you in here anyway, you were just a bit...early. Now, about these potions..." she broke off, glancing bemusedly at her daughters. "Why don't you two come out from under there, first?"
Quickly, the twins darted forward, and Ginny drew her wand. "Finite Incantatum." The spell removed, the sofa hit the floor with a resounding thump. Sara and Robyn settled down on the now-stationary couch, and Ginny nodded.
"Anyway...this," she indicated the small bundle, "is your Aunt Hermione's 'Pullus Sanatio' potion."
The four of them exchanged blank looks, and Ginny clarified, "It mildly alleviates the symptoms of chickenpox."
There was the expected ruckus at that, and she waited for a moment for them to calm down.
