Hermione sits down in a chair. "Hey Teddy, what do you want to eat?" Hermione asks kindly. "Cheese sandwich, pweese." Teddy says happily, Hermione smiles. "Ok then, on cheese sandwich on the way." Hermione says happily, she then goes to the kitchen and makes a cheese sandwich, she takes it to the sitting room where Teddy is now sitting next to Evangeline who is playing and giggling, Isabella is playing with her toys in her corner of the room. "Mama." Isabella calls from the other side of the room, Hermione smiles, she gives Teddy his sandwich and walks over to Isabella. "Whats up Issy?" Hermione asks, Isabella makes the gesture of food, so Hermione goes and makes Isabella some food and places her in her high chair and watches as she eats her food, she then goes and gets some food for Evangeline and feeds her carefully, Teddy finishes his food, he puts his plate in the kitchen and then comes back into the sitting room and helps Hermione feed Evangeline. "What do you want to do today Teddy?" Hermione asks Teddy. "Can we see Cissy?" Teddy asks. "Of course we can, go and get ready and then we will go." Hermione tells Teddy, Teddy quickly runs up the stairs and starts to get his things, Hermione gets the girls together and soon enough they are walking through the emerald flames of Malfoy Manor, once in the sitting room they see Lucius Malfoy sitting on the sofa, Hermione freezes but soon gets over it and walks more into the room. "Is Nacrissa in?" Hermione asks Lucius. "No she went out, she will be back soon." Lucius tells Hermione, Teddy runs up to Lucius. "Hello Luci." Teddy says running into Lucius' arms. "Hello Teddy." Lucius says with a smile, Hermione laughs. "Whats funny?" Lucius asks. "Nothing Luci." Hermione says with a smile. "He can't say my name, so I let him call me Luci." Lucius tells Hermione, Hermione nods and sits down. "We were meant to see Nacrissa, but I guess Teddy would be alright with you." Hermione says kindly. "Why don't you all join me, I was going to bake some things." Lucius suggests. "You cook?" Hermione asks surprised. "Yes I do, Nacrissa taught me how to do it, I actually found it fun." Lucius says with a ghost of a smile. "What kind of things Luci?" Teddy asks, Hermione smiles. "Maybe some cakes and cookies." Lucius tells Teddy who then turns to Hermione. "Can we stay 'Mione?" Teddy asks, Hermione rolls her eyes but smile. "Sure, if you don't mind Lucius." Hermione says looking at Lucius. "Of course not, you put Evangeline and Isabella in the high chairs in the kitchen." Lucius tells Hermione, Hermione was surprised that her knew the names of her daughters. They follow Lucius to the kitchen, Hermione puts the girls into the high chairs and Teddy and Lucius start to bake as Hermione watches and sometimes helps, all afternoon they bake lots of treats and actually had fun, Hermione has a feeling that something was wrong the whole time though, by the time Nacrissa had come back they were all sitting on the sofa, laughing like they were old friends, Nacrissa was happy to see that Hermione and Lucius were getting on. "Look what me, Aunty 'Mione and Luci made Cissy." Teddy says excitedly, he gets one of the cookies that they made from his box, Nacrissa smiles. "I'm glad you had fun Teddy." Nacrissa says with a smile.
