"'Cissa?!" Genevieve exclaimed. "Cissa Parker?" (Yeah, Parker just
sounded cool, don't ask why. It's subject to change.)
"Oh my goodness. Gen Bankens!" Narcissa and Genevieve walked forward embracing each other in a hug that only long lost friends would do. "Oh Nate Shada!" Narcissa said noticing Nathaniel. She went to hug him as well.
" Actually it's Genevieve Shada now. 'Cissa, I had no idea! Which ones are yours?" Genevieve said after pulling from yet another hug from her friend.
"Oh gosh. Only Draco. He is my son, I married Lucius Malfoy right after Hogwarts." Narcissa said after calming down.
"Mom?" Feral said. "How do you know Draco's Mum?"
"Oh yes." Genevieve said finally realizing there were other people in the room. "Well, we went to primary school together in Europe, then Hogwarts for the first three years, until I was transferred to the states. Your father had the same thing happen to him." She said to Feral.
"Oh yes, Cissa, these are my children, I think you know them by now, Jocelyn and Joaquin Padoga, and my step daughter Feral Shada. But, I've had her since she was one, so she isn't really my step daughter." Genevieve said looking fondly at Feral.
"Yes, I know Jocelyn, she never told me she had a TWIN brother." Narcissa said looking jokingly stern at Jocelyn. "You are so handsome Joaquin." She said shaking his hand.
"Thanks Mrs. Malfoy." Joaquin said looking smug. "Yeah, I am pretty sexy." That earned him a smack on the arm from Jay, and a groan from the other kids in the room.
"Genevieve, don't you think it's about time to show the children to their rooms?" Nathaniel asked. "Actually, I can show them the way, you stay and get caught up with 'Cissa, after I help them, I'll start dinner. Will you be joining us 'Cis?" He asked now looking at Narcissa.
"Oh, I suppose, if its not too much trouble." She replied looking at Nathaniel.
"Absolutely not Mrs. Malfoy." Jocelyn answered for her father.
"Joz, what have I told you? Call me Narcissa." Narcissa smiled at Jocelyn, pulling her into a motherly hug.
"Yes 'Cissa, you are always welcome to our home." Genevieve finished.
"Okay then. Children follow me." Nathaniel said taking the still shrunken trunks from the house elf and ushering the six of them out the room and out of the way of the chattering women. "So, here is your bedroom Jay." Nathaniel said after arriving to the landing for the second floor. "Joey will help you get settled. You will be sharing a bathroom with Joz; it's down the hall and to the right. Joz's room is three doors down and the left of yours and Feral's is directly below Jocelyn's one floor down. Welcome home." He smiled at Joaquin and Jacqueline as he shut the door. He left them to catch up.
They climbed one more flight reaching guest room one and two, which now had silver name plates on the door saying either "Draco Malfoy", "Aiden Glastoff", or Jacqueline McMeeller". They had plaques matching those of Jocelyn, Joaquin, and Feral. Only Feral's was bronze.
"Here you are boys. Jocelyn, Feral, I assume you will help Draco and Aiden get acquainted with their surroundings. I trust you girls." Nathaniel gave his girls a quick kiss on the forehead and turned to the boys. "Welcome to your home for the next two weeks." He smiled and walked down the long staircase to the first floor kitchen to prepare dinner for the party of nine.
