Chapter Twelve: The Splendiferous Arrival of Manda.

The next two days passed almost unbearably slow for Christina. She woke on the day of Manda's arrival excited. She rose, showered and dressed. Today she was dressed in violently purple robes. Severus raised an elegant eyebrow as she entered the sitting room.

"Why must you torment me with your clothes?" He asked mildly.

"Admit it, deep down you've always wanted to wear bright pink robes." She said, sitting down and eating kippers on toast. She hadn't really liked the idea of it, but Ron had turned her on to them. Severus wrinkled his nose.

"I don't think so, pink doesn't really go with my coloring." Christina nearly choked on her breakfast.

"By Gods I think you just cracked a joke!" She said in mock astonishment. She was finishing her breakfast when Harry, Ron, Draco, Hermione, and Neville walked into the flat.

"Morning." She called out to them, then lead them back to her bedroom, because she wanted to show off her wand work. The single bed had been transformed into a bunk bed, where both the top an bottom beds were full sized. She had added another desk and bookshelf. She had also added a showerstall to the bathroom. Hermione was just praising her on performing a particularly tricky charm when Christina heard Manda's voice call out through the flat. She, and the other's bolted from the room. Draco was faster than Christina, and he whipped around the corner in the hall and smacked straight into Manda. They were both knocked backwards. Draco only stared at her for a moment, taking in her features. She was shorter than Christina, with shoulder length auburn hair, and light green eyes. Manda herself was stunned, she had just collided with the hottest male she had ever seen, up to this point. Both of them were speechless, and motionless. Christina stepped over Draco, and helped Manda up. They hugged and started talking at once.

Harry helped Draco up and brushed him off. Giving him a silly smirk, to which Draco replied with a play punch. This started a wrestling match. Christina and Manda stopped talking to watch. After a bit they just shook their heads, said 'boys', and moved off to their bedroom so Manda could unpack.

Severus made the other children leave so that Manda and Christina could catch up. Before he left, Draco noticed a slim silver bracelet on the floor. He picked it up and pocketed it, intending on returning it to Christina when he next saw her.

In the bedroom Christina and Manda had finished unpacking Manda's stuff. Manda picked up Pudge and was playing with him on Christina's bed when she asked the question Christina was waiting for.

"Who was that I flew into?" Manda asked, her voice saying it was a casual question. Christina knew her too well for that.

"That was Draco. "Christina replied. She grew excited. "YESSSS! " She shouted.

"What? " Manda asked startled.

"We can go explore the castle now! "Christina said, and she dragged Manda out of the flat.

"Is he single? "Was the last thing Severus heard before the two of them disappeared.
