A/N: Here is Chapter three! I know this is probably really lame as there really isn't any humor or anything, but I needed a this chapter to introduce those who were invited. I'm pretty sure (actually, I know) it'll get funnier with James, Albus, Rose, and Hugo under the same roof in the same room! :) Thanks to: Marciabarcia and Frankie-JaymeENGLISHPROUD for reviewing! Hopefully this chapter doesn't change your views of the whole story. Sorry if it isn't as English as the other chapter! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything dealing with 'Harry Potter' because J.K. Rowling wouldn't have written a lame chapter like this one.

Quickly, she changed the look of surprise to a shaky smile so she wouldn't seem so rude. It hadn't been the Potters Rose and Hugo had heard from the kitchen. It had been a family that they had never met, save for their son, but they barely even knew him. Rose hurriedly sat by Hugo who had taken a seat on the settee next to their parents. The other family was sitting on the sofa opposite of them. The Malfoys were sitting on their other settee.

She wondered why they were here in the first place, but thought against asking that question for it seemed impolite to just blurt out something like 'Why are you here?' It was pretty understandable that they were the guests their mother didn't tell them were coming. Hugo suddenly prodded her with his elbow.

"What?" she whispered.

"You know what?" She shook her head. "You look calm and happy. Ew," he added on. Rose took the hint and rearranged her smile so that it at least looked better than her first try. Hugo nodded. "You look awful," he grinned. She smiled back and secretly pushed him so the adults wouldn't see.

Hermione, wearing a strapless dark blue dress to match her husband, clasped her hands together. "Draco, Astoria, these are our children, Rose and Hugo." When she pointed them out, Hugo put on a small smile and Rose just awkwardly waved. Draco nodded with a hint of a smile while Astoria smiled brightly at them.

Draco still had the platinum blond hair and metal grey eyes Ron and Hermione had talked on the subject of, but he seemed much nicer than what they had said and his eyes looked soft. Astoria, on the other hand, had light brown hair and light blue eyes that were nearly glowing with warmth. He was wearing a dinner jacket with a grey shirt and no tie. Astoria was wearing a brown dress and slightly high heeled shoes. Scorpius was wearing black dress pants and a light blue shirt.

"Well," she began, "this is our son, Scorpius, but I'm sure you already knew him, right Rose? Hugo?" The two in question glanced at each other before nodding. Scorpius still looked the same as usual: blond hair, tall, fit, and those gorgeous grey eyes like his father's, but a bit darker maybe. It may seem dull or boring, but it worked on him. Ron checked his watch.

"Don't know what's keeping them up; they're usually punctual," he said apologetically. Draco shook his head.

"No problem at all. None at all." An awkward silence fell over them.

"She could have at least have thought up some topics for us to discuss with them; this is embarrassing," Hugo muttered to Rose, his lips barely moving. Rose nodded. She was about to try and strike up a conversation – 'Do you all know of the plunger?' when there was a knock at the door. Ron smiled and stood.

"That's them, then." He left the room and once the door opened, they could hear people entering and talking.

"Sorry about that, Hermione, James set off some Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs in the car. Had to swerve the car off to the side to either wait for it to clear up or try to get rid of it. The funny thing is – " Harry cut off when he saw the Malfoys. He put on a smile, nodded, and shook each of their hands. Harry was wearing a dinner jacket just like Ron and Draco, but in a different color: green. Ginny came in behind him wearing a matching dress to Harry's dinner jacket: It was a lighter green, though, with swirls around the bottom. After she met up with the Malfoy's, she and Harry took a seat next to them.

Ron came back in and right behind him were three kids; two with black hair and one redhead. James and Albus were pretty much wearing the same thing as Hugo; white dress shirt and black dress pants. The two sat in the last couple of chairs while Lily squeezed in next to her parents and Scorpius. She had decided on matching her parents, apparently, because she was wearing a green shirt under a denim jacket and jade ballet flats. Muggle clothing. She was also wearing something Hermione hadn't allowed her children to wear: jeans. Hugo had noticed.

"Mum, she's wearing jeans!" Hermione only smiled and shrugged. Slowly, whatever tête-à-tête had been going on died out. Finally, Hermione stood.

"Shall we go into the dining room?" she asked. Everyone began to stand and Rose glanced over at Scorpius and saw a strange sight: he was talking to Lily. And he looked like he was enjoying it. Something surged through her and without a second thought the word jealousy ran throughout her mind.

Wait, what? She thought I am NOT jealous of those two. I mean, she's a redhead and he has blond hair . . . what a lame excuse.

She sighed and followed the others across the hall. She sat next to Hugo was sitting on the right of her dad who was sitting next to her mum. Next to Hermione was Harry and Ginny and at one head of the table was Lily. Next to her and across from his mother was James seated next to Mr Malfoy, then his wife and son. Albus was sitting at the other head of the table across from Lily and next to Rose. Hermione took notice of the two empty chairs next to the Malfoys and quickly got rid of them, making the table shrink a little to accommodate the change.

Rose was about to ask where the food was, but remembered what her parents had told her. She grabbed Hugo by his wrist just as he had asked, "Where exactly is the – "

Inside the kitchen, Hugo said, "What was that – oh." He looked around the kitchen at the various plates. "Okay, she said the starters are first, right?" Rose nodded and the two each grabbed two plates and headed for the door to the dining room. Rose placed the plates she had in front of Scorpius and Astoria while Hugo put his in front of Draco and James.

"So you're serving us?" James asked. "Well, how about you go get me some firewhiskey, then?" He was obviously joking, so Hugo joked back.

"How about something else? It's still strong and it will practically kill you. It's called – "

"Hugo," his mum warningly hissed as Lily started laughing. Hugo moved with a laughing Rose into the kitchen to grab two more plates. When all the plates containing the starter were on the table, the two Weasley kids took their seats so everyone could begin eating.

A/N: Please don't hurt me! I know, I know! It was really lame! But I promise it'll get better in Chapter four! :) And yes, I also know I'm awful at describing people, so sorry for the lame descriptions of the Potters, Malfoys, and Hermione. And since this chapter sucked, I'll start working on Chapter four right away! :)

Tête-à-tête: Just a big, funny word for 'conversation'.

Oh, I know you're probably thinking this too: 'What's up with them wearing clothes that match someone else or their eyes?' Really, I don't know; it just came to me for some reason. :)
