Prompt: Dinner with the Parents
Jean Granger set the table with shaking hands. She pulled out her best dishes and for the Shepherd's Pie she had been cooking for dinner when Bellatrix had turned up, and made a fruit-salad for dessert.
A generous serving was put on each plate, and a glass of juice poured for each of them before the food was brought through.
Jean took a seat, looking at the scary witch who clearly terrified her daughter. The woman looked in her direction, and Jean's gaze shifted to her daughter who looked to be thinking hard, though her eyes were darting to the witch nervously.
Finally she looked at her husband who was staring at the witch with narrowed eyes, thankfully smart enough to keep his mouth shut.
Richard never usually help himself in check and Jean hoped it would continue for longer.
Until they thought of a plan at least.
The witch sneered at the simple dish. Her gaze moved to Hermione, who began eating, the witch following suit, looking very unsatisfied with the choice of meal, but choosing not to say anything about the food until her plate was clear.
"You've had dinner, I suggest you leave now," Richard said coldly, after dessert had been eaten.
Hermione jumped up at the same time the witch did, grabbing her arm. Bellatrix threw he back and turned her wand on Hermione and both Jean and Richard rushed forward, getting between the crazed woman and their daughter.
"Bellatrix, I was just trying to get your attention," Hermione whispered.
The woman stared at her curiously.
"Of course I don't want you to leave yet, my father wasn't aware that I wanted you to stay longer." She sent a pleading look to her father, begging his silence, which he quickly caught.
"Of course we want you to stay longer," Jean whispered.
She understood Hermione's look. Don't upset the insane woman with the wand.
