"She's been missing since Friday and you're not worried?" Daphne's mum shrilled causing both her dad and herself to wince at the pitch. It was extremely high. And painful. "Surely she's in pain and scared and lonely and-"

"Mum! Dad! I'm home," Astoria called from the entrance hall causing their female parent to relax and rush out of the room. Daphne and their father followed at a slower pace and were greatly amused at the sight of Astoria being reprimanded whilst standing there with a befuddled look. "What are you going on about?" she asked.

"You can't just disappear for days without telling anyone! You're my youngest daughter and I swear, your sister isn't as bad as this."

Astoria gaped at her mother before looking at Daphne who was laughing silently.

"What have I done now?" Astoria asked, hoping that she was going to get answers soon. "I was just with Draco. Lucius discussed this with Father." They turned and looked at the man of the house but he'd quickly sneaked out when he realised that this was going to be turned to him.

"Dad told me," Daphne offered with a shrug. "I assumed you knew."

"Why didn't he come and talk to me himself?" their mother murmured, much more calmer now that someone had known about where she was. "That man is going to be in so much trouble when I get hold of him." They watched their mother walk away, following their dad, with a stern look on her face and the two sisters giggled at the picture she made.

"So?" Daphne asked once they were alone. "How was it?" Astoria blushed and Daphne grinned.

"We spent the weekend on his boat." Daphne raised her eyebrows, impressed at Draco's confidence. He'd been worrying to their friendship group only days before they left.

"And I suppose only bathing suits were allowed."

Astoria's blush deepened. "Only when clothing was worn."

"Impressive little sister," Daphne congratulated. "I'm proud of you."
