Oh and some clothes, make-up, CD's, computer, SONY CD Player and a few plush animals. BUT NOTHING THAT WOULD INTEREST MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD AND THAT'S BEEN MADE INTO A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE… THREE TIMES!

Annette was finished cooking the dinner and was enjoying a nice glass of wine. A particularly fine vintage, with a subtle hint of … GRAPE! Ha, what would they think of next. Wine was wine, but all her hoity toity friends loved to get a glass of wine and analyse it before they drank it. HELLO! Wine is wine people!

Annette married Russell because he was her dream man. She didn't even know that he was rich. She fell in love with him, not his money. She had always been a simple-ish kind of girl. But since they got married, he'd pampered her and spoiled her beyond her wildest dreams. But she refused to sit back and let everyone else do things for her. She did things for herself.

When her second daughter arrived she told her to go up and get Sonia from her room. Vanessa climbed up the stairs to Sonia's old room and knocked on the door. She heard a yelp and then a thud, like something fell to the floor. She giggled to herself. Her mother had said Sonia had her boyfriend with her. The one she constantly talked about.

'OI! GET OUT OF BED YA LITTLE…'

She was interrupted by the door swinging open. There was Sonia, her cheeks were all red and her hair was messed up.

'Hey sis.'

'Mmm hmm… Mum wants you downstairs.'

'OK.'

Vanessa caught sight of a guy sitting on the bed. She grinned at him and waved. He waved back sheepishly.

Sonia saw the look on Vanessa's face and said 'Vanessa this is Draco, Draco this is Vanessa.'

Draco walked up and shook her hand. 'Congratulations,' he said pointing to her stomach.

She chuckled, 'Yeah well, this little one is giving me all sorts of trouble. You wait till your girlfriend goes through it. Paul is my absolute lifesaver. He handles my cravings for me… unless he's watching Quidditch of course. Even I don't merit the attention when that's on.'

'Oh cool, is he here?' said Draco as his face lit up without noticing that Sonia was blushing so bad she was sure he could feel it.

'Yeah he's downstairs.'

*****

They all went down to the dining room where the table was set for six people. Russell sat down at the head of the table with Paul on his left and Draco on his right. Sonia sat down next to Draco, Vanessa next to Paul and Annette at the other end.

Doraly and another house elf served the meal to everyone. Soon the table was groaning under an enormous amount of food. Draco realise suddenly that he was starving. Everyone got what they wanted from the serving dishes. Soon everyone at the table was engrossed in the food and their conversations. Russell had finished his dinner when he said, 'So you came here on Sonia's broom did you…?'

'Yeah, she let me fly it here. I'm hoping to get one soon. If I had an Iceberg I would always catch the snitch. For once I would beat Potter.'

'Oh, are you on the Hogwarts Quidditch Team?'

'Yeah, Slytherin.'

'Ooh, you're a Slytherin as well.'

'Yeah…'

'Ah, how I loved my days as a Chaser.'

'Yeah, Sonia told me how you used to play. I'd feel really bad if she played against me though. I'm pretty sure she'll be in Gryffindor. She's way too sweet to be in Slytherin. Too smart to be in Ravenclaw and way too energetic to be in Hufflepuff.'

'Well, I think that because she's transferring this late, she won't get Head Girl. I was head boy you know.'

'Cool, I'm a prefect, but I dunno if I'll get head boy. Potter probably will.'

'Potter? Who's that?'

'Oh, Harry Potter.'

'Harry Potter… he goes to Hogwarts?'

'Yeah,' said Draco, looking dishevelled.

'Not a fan then ay?'

He laughed, 'No, he's the reason my father got put in Azkaban last week. Not that he didn't deserve it of course.'

He pursed his lips, 'Yes well, I heard about that.'

Paul butted in then.

'Hey Russ, did you say you got Sonia an Iceberg?'

'Yeah,' he said, distracted and off the topic of Draco's father.

'Mad! Can I fly it Sonia?'

Sonia stopped talking about school with Annette and Vanessa and turned to Paul. 'Yeah sure, it's in the hall. It's so cool, it's just hovering there.'

Paul got up and left the table when Russell called out, 'Oi, wait up, I wanna see what I spent all that money on.'

Russell got up and left the table so quick, he nearly tipped the chair over. Draco pushed his chair closer to Sonia and joined that conversation. Sonia felt his presence behind her and leaned back on him.

'Hello…' she whispered as she looked into his eyes.

'Hey, you full up now? Maybe now you won't get up in the middle of the night and go to get food from the fridge and wake me up,' he said a little louder then he had intended. Annette stopped talking and looked up at Draco. Draco saw a blush creep across Sonia's face in the corner of his eye. She smirked and continued talking to Vanessa. Draco raised his eyebrows at Sonia as if to say 'Okay, that was weird.' She just grinned at him.

Vanessa turned to Sonia, 'So are you all set for September yet?'

'Yeah, but I think I'll go to Diagon Alley again. Shady took ages to deliver that letter for me. I think she's getting a bit old. I was gunna get another owl but I just love her so much. Maybe I'll get a kitten and put Shady with Peachy and Toby.'

'Honey just wait like two days. Okay, I've got to go to the Apothecary because I'll be blowed if I know where I can find Pickled Cactus Roots in Australia. I even asked Lara from Brisbane if she had any but she said that it was too dear and no one ever bought it from her so it went off and all that money went down the drain. And then we can go look for a birthday present for you as well.'

Draco's ears perked up. Birthday? Sonia didn't tell him it was her birthday. His was on September 1st. If hers was soon they'd be close together.
