Chapter Six

"Where in merlin is she?" Pansy asked as she stood in the entrance hall with Daphne waiting for Cassi to arrive.

"She is only a few minutes late. Lighten up Pans." Daphne answered. Pansy just huffed and leaned against the wall in agitation.

A few more minutes passed when Pansy saw Cassi coming down the stairs. "Finally! What took you so long?"

"Sorry, I went looking for my guests."

Pansy looked behind Cassi and saw Hermione and Ginny standing a few feet away. "What are they doing here?"

"I invited them." Cassi said like it was obvious.

"I am not going with them. It is bad enough I have to go with you." Pansy protested.

"Oh leave it Pansy, it might be fun." Daphne defended. Hermione looked at Ginny puzzled. "Now, we should go, lunch is only a few short hours away."

Pansy rolled her eyes and left through the main doors and out into the Scottish sun.

000000

"Is it about lunch time yet?" Cassi asked while struggling with a few boxes. Ginny came over and took a few from her.

"It's just after noon." Ginny answered.

"We should head over to 'The Three Broomsticks' for something to eat." Daphne mentioned. "You really should have gotten those delivered Cassi."

"I got Scorp's delivered, but didn't even think of my stuff."

"Here." Hermione unhooked her beaded bag from her pants and held it open to Cassi. "Undetectable Extension Charm. You can put your purchases in here."

Cassi smiled. "Thank you." Hermione smiled in return.

Pansy scoffed, "Let's so guys, I am starting to get hungry."

With Cassi's purchases now safely in Hermione's beaded bag, the five girls made their way to The Three Broomsticks. When they arrived, it was moderately busy. "There's a booth in the back." Ginny pointed out.

Daphne smiled. "Good, you guys go get the booth and I will go order five butterbeers and roast beef sandwiches." Before anyone could answer, Daphne had already made her way to Madam Rosemerta.

"Let's go." Pansy instructed, the three girls followed.

Once at the booth, everyone removed their jackets and sat down. "Is there anything else we need to get while we are out?" Cassi asked.

Pansy ignored her, but Ginny said, "I need to go to W.H.S. I ran out of my hair tonic and they sell it." At the mention of W.H.S (Wizarding Hair Salon), Pansy seemed to perk up and pay attention.

"W.H.S? I love that salon. It is the one I like to use when mother's personal hairdresser is busy. I absolutely love their curling potions. They are much easier to use than your wand."

Ginny smiled and nodded. "What else do you like Pansy?"

Pansy looked surprised. "No one has ever asked me that before."

"Well, I'm asking now." Ginny retorted.

Pansy blinked a few times in thought. "Umm… Well, I like fashion, and gossip, that is why I subscribe to 'Witch Weekly'. I do like to read, mostly romances though." Pansy smiled. "When I was younger I took dance lessons, like most pure-bloods do, and I developed a fondness for it. The one thing I have amazing talent for though is event planning."

Cassi smiled thinking about all the parties she had attended that her aunt Pansy had planned. They were always amazing, and never boring. Cassi's smile fell as she thought she might not get to see that Pansy for a long time.

Daphne's arrival pulled Cassi out of her thoughts. Behind Daphne was Madam Rosemerta holding a tray with butterbeer and sandwiches. "What are we talking about?" she asked.

"Things Pansy likes." Cassi answered.

Daphne sat down beside Hermione and grabbed her drink. "Was Blaise Zabini added to that list?" she asked, then taking a sip.

"Daphne!" Pansy yelled, and turned pink in embarrassment.

The girls giggled. "Thought you liked Malfoy." Hermione asked with a little pink appearing on her cheeks.

Pansy looked down at her sandwich and shrugged. "I used to I suppose. Well, more of the idea of him, the perfect pure-blood you know. He is nice and all, but you can tell his attention is elsewhere. I have always liked Blaise though."

Ginny and Hermione looked at Daphne with a question in their eyes, Cassi just continued eating her lunch, enjoying watching her mother and aunts being care free teenagers.

Daphne put her half eaten sandwich down and finished the piece she was already chewing before answering. "What? Me? No! Draco doesn't like me, at meals he always seems half interested in what we are talking about. He is always staring across the hall in deep thought, we don't dare ask though."

Ginny's eyebrows pulled together. "Now that you mention it, I have caught his eye a few times. He always seems to find something else more interesting not too long after."

"You think Draco likes you?" Pansy asked with disbelief.

Ginny shook her head 'no'. "He seems to be looking for something, or someone I suppose. It has only happened once or twice, and besides I am with Harry."

Daphne smiled. "So, those rumors are actually true? You guys aren't that affectionate in public."

"We don't have to be, if you know what I mean." Ginny said with a wink.

Everyone laughed. "So does that mean you and Weasley are together, Granger?" Daphne asked Hermione.

Hermione looked shocked. "No! He's one of my best friends, more like a brother. And besides, he's with Lavender."

"Brown?" Pansy asked, and Hermione nodded. "So, anyone you do like?"

Hermione's cheeks turned pink with embarrassment. "Maybe, I haven't really talked to him much. As of right now, I just find him extremely attractive. His personality might ruin it for me, I will let you know when I figure that out though. What about you Daphne."

Daphne shrugged. "I find many people attractive, but I don't have a crush on anyone. Dean Thomas is cute, Neville Longbottom has really come into his own recently, and so has Ernie Macmillan. What about Cassi? She hasn't said anything in a while."

"I'm a silent observer, and besides I have a boyfriend."

"Who?" Pansy asked.

"You guys don't know him. His name is James, he is Scorpius' best friend."

"And how does Scorpius feel about you and his best friend being together?" Daphne asked.

Cassi laughed. "He doesn't really have a choice, and besides if he did he couldn't really say anything. He is dating my best friend, Heather."

Pansy raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow. "I suppose that is a good enough reason for him not to say anything." Cassi nodded.

"So tell us Cassi," Hermione said, putting down her empty mug. "Scorpius has been very vague about you guys. We know there are six of you, eight including your parents, and ten adding in your grandparents."

Cassi shrugged. "What else is there to know?"

"Well," Pansy started. "Why are only you and Scorpius here and not the rest of your siblings?"

"It was kind of by accident I suppose. All of us attended Beauxbatons, but Scorpius and I wanted to go to Hogwarts, our mum attended Hogwarts. So we talked her into letting us come too."

"Couldn't manage an answer before term started?" Ginny giggled.

"Mum was in correspondence with Dumbledore." Cassi lied.

The four girls nodded. "What about your family?"

"What about them?"

"What are they like?"

"Umm… Scorpius is a spitting image of our father but he has the mannerisms of our mother. It's the opposite for me though, I look like mum but act like dad. Except I have my mother's temper.

"Leo, if he attended Hogwarts he would, ironically, be sorted into Gryffindor."

"What about the rest?" Ginny asked.

"Lyra, she would be in Ravenclaw, same with Gemma. Lyra is all stern and studious, but also very creative and smart. Gemma, she is a handful! She is unique, not really concerned about what others have to think. She is also a ball of energy.

"One year, at my family's annual New Year's party, mother and father instructed us to dress semi-formally, and to behave ourselves. Gemma decided she wanted to be different and made a dress out of leaves and exotic flowers in grandmother's greenhouse. The dress was lovely, mother was very upset, and father found it amusing until mother reprimanded him. It was cute.

"And Regulus, he would be in Hufflepuff. He may be the youngest but he is always breaking up fights, or making sure there is not cheating when we play Quidditch, or some muggle game. He is always reprimanding father or I. Unjust is what it is!"

"You're a Slytherin, that's what we do you know." Pansy clarified.

"No excuse! He is being prejudice!" Everyone else just laughed. "We should probably be heading back, it's already after two."

"Is it really?" Hermione exclaimed, Daphne nodded. "I need to go. I'm sorry. I had a lovey time. Daphne, Pansy, you guys are actually pretty great."

"Not so bad yourself Granger." Pansy commented.

"I'll come with you." Cassi said while standing up.

"Me too," Daphne said, standing up. "You coming Pansy?"

"No, I'm going to do a little more shopping, you go on."

"Ginny?" Hermione asked.

"No, I'll stay with Parkinson. Tell Harry and Ron I will be back soon."

"Umm… Alright, bye Gin, Pansy."

Pansy and Ginny waived to their friends as they watched them leave the pub.

I hope you enjoyed this one... Please review!
