Juliet and Mycroft were in Diagon inside of Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions looking for a robe for Mycroft to wear to the Malfoy family Ball, and so far they weren't finding anything that he liked. "My-My please stop being so picky the ball is in four days and I still need to teach you about wizarding world etiquette," Juliet said as Mycroft walked pass more robes that he didn't like. "Love why I can't wear the suit I wore to the queens birthday party" Mycroft asked "because you may be the first Muggle ever to step foot in Malfoy Manor and in a romantic relationship with a Malfoy there is still a certain reputation that my family must uphold in social situations so Mycroft Holmes pick a bloody robe before I pick one for you" Juliet said whisper yelled at her boyfriend.
"Fine but, I'm only going to wear this to make you happy and because I love you," Mycroft said as he picked a green and black formal robe. "And because you want to make a good first impression on my family," Juliet said as she paid for the robe ."That too" Mycroft said as they walked out the store "hey I have an Idea let's visit my friends Fred and George Weasley at their joke shop" Juliet said with a smile "fine but, just for curiosity sake" Mycroft said as they walked to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes when they opened the door a bell signaled their arrival "well well well If it isn't the Only Malfoy I like back after twelve years of living as a muggle it's good to see you in one piece " "it's good to see you too Fred" Juliet said as she hugged her friend who hugged her back "it's that little Willow how are ya kid" George said as he came out of the back of the store and hugged Willow.
"I'm great George, I see you've expanded the shop i'm glad it's doing well," Juliet said as George let her go. "Yeah we're glad too, so who's your friend," Fred said as he saw Mycroft looking around. "That's my boyfriend, " Juliet said before Mycroft walked over to his girlfriend and her friends. "Mycroft Holmes pleased to make your acquittance, " Mycroft said as he held out his hand for the twins to shake. "He's a posh one eh Willow," George said while Fred nodded his head in agreement "yes he is but I love him so shake his hand, and please take off the invisible joy buzzers," Juliet said with her arms crossed as Fred and George introduced themselves to Mycroft "ah Willow you're no fun anymore," Fred said "I grew up Frederick I suggest you do the same " Juliet said as she stuck her tongue out at Fred .
"There's the Willow who use to pull pranks with" "and on us remember the time she put the hair changing potion in our pumpkin juice our hair was pink for two weeks," Fred and George said with smiles. "But, you two got back at me you put a charm on me that gave me a cat tail for a week," Juliet said with a laugh "how could we forget the look on Snape's face when you walked into Potions with your little kitty tail swishing back and forth." "Yeah, he gave you two detention until the charm wore off". "Yeah those were the days and now we're all grown up now and you have a boyfriend whose a Muggle," Fred said as he leaned against the counter. "I would've loved to see your folks face when you told him not only have you been living as a Muggle for the past twelve years but you are also dating a muggle," George said as Fred nodded his head in agreement. "For your information, I love Mycroft regardless of him being a Muggle, and my parents were very accepting of the news," Juliet said in an angry tone.
"Unbelievable they didn't flip their lids when you told them," George said as he looked at Fred "No they didn't a lot can change in twelve years, come on Mycroft we're leaving," Juliet said as she took Mycroft's arm. "Wait we're sorry we struck a nerve Willow" Fred said as he and George stopped the couple from leaving. Juliet sighed "it's okay it's still a touchy subject for me so, don't bring it up again or you two get Howlers understand," Juliet said in a threatening tone. "Understood Willow," The twins said in unison "good we're on the same page I'll see you two later, I need to put in an order for something" Juliet before the twins bid her and Mycroft goodbye, Juliet and Mycroft then walked out of the store and down the street. "Love what does the word Muggle mean,"Mycroft asked wanting to know the meaning of the word he's been called several times "It's a derogatory term for a Non-Magical person" Juliet replied. "So it's a wizarding world racial slur," Mycroft said in slight amusement.
"Essentially yes but, it's not as offensive as it used to be because a few years after the 2nd wizarding war the Ministry of Magic enacted a marriage law where all unmarried Pureblood wizards and witches were paired up with unmarried Half-Bloods and Muggle-Born witches and wizards and I was exempt from this law because I Live in the Muggle world and I am in a relationship with a Muggle " Juliet explained as the couple walked into Twilfitt and Tattings . "Do my old eyes deceive me or if it isn't young Willowmina Malfoy all grown up?" Madam Twilfitt said as she adjusted her glasses. "How are you Madam Twilfitt," Juliet asked with a smile "I am doing just fine child, your Mother has already picked out and paid for a dress for you to wear to your Homecoming ball," Madam Twilfitt said as she pointed her wand towards the back room as a box floated and landed on the counter. Juliet then opened the box the dress was long, it was dark green with black accents, had a puffy skirt, and had sleeves that went halfway.
"It's beautiful," Juliet said with a smile "only the best for a Malfoy," Madam Twilfitt said "I'm going to try it on," Juliet said as she took the dress to the fitting rooms Mycroft then went to sit in the chair near the Fitting rooms when he went to sit down he saw a blonde haired man sitting in the other chair who looked up at Mycroft . "I don't I've seen you in here before I am Draco Draco Malfoy," Draco said as he held his hand out for Mycroft to shake. "Mycroft Holmes please to make your acquittance Mr. Malfoy and to answer your question I'm accompanying my girlfriend while she is doing some shopping" Mycroft explained as he shook Draco's hand. "Same but, I'm accompanying my wife whose your girlfriend," Draco asked before one of the fitting rooms opened "that would be me Draco" Juliet walked out of the dressing room in the dress that fit. "Love you look like a Princess" "you think so My-My, thank you" "what him you are dating, do Father and Mother know", Draco said shocked that his sister is dating a Muggle.
"Yes they know and before you ask they are okay with it so you better be too or you can forget about having a ball for my Homecoming," Juliet said in a threatening tone. "Okay okay you don't have to resort to that if he makes you happy then I'm happy but, if he hurts you I will Hex him okay" "there's the overprotective Big brother I love," Juliet said as she hugged Draco and he hugged her back. "You do look, beautiful sis," Draco said as they pulled away "well what can I say Mother has always had good taste, but what worries me how did she get my size right I mean I've grown in certain places since I was eighteen" Juliet said as she looked in the mirror .
"You know Mother where there a spell there's a way" Draco replied. "Fair point," Juliet said as she went back into the dressing room, used her wand to change into her normal clothes, and put the dress back in the box. Juliet then walked out the fitting room and took Mycroft's arm "we'll see you and Astoria at the ball Draco but, Until then bye" Juliet said she and Mycroft left the store with the dress box in hand. A while later Juliet and Mycroft were at his house drinking tea "so that's the other world you told me about when we met" Mycroft asked with a smirk "a small part of it but, yes" Juliet replied before she grabbed Mycroft's hand and gently squeezed it which made him smile in return.
