"'Cissa, you must stay for a glass of wine with Nate and I." Genevieve said
after a nice meal.
"Oh Gen, you always did know my soft spots. A good drink, and a chat with my dearest friends." Narcissa replied smiling and patting Genevieve with her own.
"Great, you six may go to the entertainment room for a while. But you all need sleep, remember? We are taking a trip to the lake tomorrow." Nathaniel said sternly but gently. He stood and began to clear the table.
Jocelyn, Joaquin, and Feral led Draco, Jacqueline, and Aiden to the elevator, after saying their thanks, and kissing their parents good night. This time, they began going down.
Most manors, like the Malfoys, or the McMeellers have dungeons below their first floor. But, the Shada's have never really been comfortable with that idea. So, they remodeled the downstairs as soon as they had moved in, only 4 years ago.
The once stone cold walls were layered in think plush carpet. At least three layers to make up for the cement. The walls had been covered in cobblestone, so before they laid the carpet down, they replaced the cobble with drywall, and painted to make a soft peach glow. New light fixtures were added. Illuminating the rooms. Heating was added as well. It was a very warm place.
The downstairs stretched across the whole lot of the manor. All the walls were taken away. All except two. One separating the halves of the house. And another that belonged to the glorious bathroom. These rooms belonged to Joaquin, Jocelyn, and Feral. So it was decorated that way. The peach walls were covered in pictures of the family. Growing up, and the current days. On the walls now, were pictures of Jacqueline, Draco, and Aiden as well. Pictures of them with the other three. Or just by themselves from school.
The first room you go into after stepping off the elevator is the game room. Along the walls are various arcade game machines. From Pac-Man, to Ninja Death Warrior (made up). In the center there's a Pool Table, CarpetBall (You have to go to C3YG to understand.), and FoosBall. (Man the electricity bill would be high.)
Through the door to the second room is a shock. Directly across from the door is a big screen TV. The TV covers most of the facing wall. Next to the screen are shelves that reach the ceiling. On the shelves are a variety of things. Frames for one, the family loves pictures. But along with that are gaming systems. Nintendo 64, PS2, X-Box.you name it Joaquin has it. To go with all his systems are games. All sorts of games. The latest game that comes out, you better believe Joaquin has it. They also have a DvD player, and a VHS player. And as many movies as humanly possible to have. (Minus Harry Potter. Weep.) In front of the TV are couches. Plush couches. A love seat to the sides, two three-cushions couches in the middle, and in front of that, the ground is tousled with pillow, green and blue pillows to match the green and blue couches and love seats.
Jocelyn had finished showing the secret staircase behind shelf #2. The staircase led upstairs to the Swimming Pool, 10-person Jacuzzi, and Eucalyptus Sauna to the new comers.
"So. What do you want to do?" She addressed the group.
"Jeeze.I don't even know where to start. We'll have to do it everywhere-I mean, we'll have to do everything before we leave." Jacqueline blushed at her slip up, but smiled slyly to Joaquin.
"Ugh." Draco said. "Well, since we only have a couple hours before we should go to bed, how about we watch a movie?" He looked around for approval.
"Great idea Draco. But which one?" Joaquin questioned waving his hand behind him over the large stocked shelves.
After about half an hour of debate, they all unanimously decided on Monsters Inc. Something the laugh at. And plus, that little girl is absolutely adorable.
Draco and Jocelyn were snuggled up in a green loveseat with a Slytherin blanket on them Joaquin and Jacqueline were making out on the blue couch with disregard to anyone else in the room. Feral and Aiden were cuddling, well trying to cuddle on the ground surrounded by green and blue pillows, if it weren't for the smack kissing sounds coming from the lovers on the couch. Aiden had once stolen a Gryffindor House blanket and stashed it in Feral's room, she had grown to love it so she kept it downstairs to cuddle with when she watched movies, that's what they used to warm up even more.
The lot of them had watched the movie until the part where Boo is in Mike and Sully's house, but that's as far as they got, slowly they all slipped into a narcoleptic state. (My brothers way of saying they were sleeping) They were awaked sharply.
