that was currently covered by a well-pressed dress shirt and robes. To drive the point home,
she casually scratched at the Mudblood scar on her own left forearm.
Draco's permanent sneer briefly fell away. "You think you can?" he asked quietly.
"It won't be pleasant."
"It wasn't when I received it."
"Several sessions at least—daily."
The blond let out a controlled breath and dipped his head once. "We can start
tomorrow if you're available."
"Speaking of scheduling," Narcissa interrupted before Draco got too emotional.
"We must do lunch sometime soon. Oh, and shopping. I doubt you had a chance to bring
your wardrobe with you from the 1970's."
Mia pouted. "Shame too, I'll miss my bell-bottoms."
Draco scrunched up his nose. "What are bell-bottoms?"
"The greatest Muggle creation since lace knickers," Sirius said with a happy grin on
his face. "Trousers that cup a witch's arse almost as good as your own hands." He
demonstrated by cupping his hands out in mid-air and squeezing.
Mia shook her head in exasperation, slightly hiding her amused smile. Tonks
outright laughed, while Andromeda rolled her eyes. All the wizards at the table appeared
to be suddenly very interested in Muggle attire, Draco included.
Narcissa sighed irritably and looked at Mia with great sympathy. "You'll have to
make sure he doesn't speak in public much, dear. No interviews, photographs only."
"He does have a very pretty face," Mia said with a smile in her voice before turning
back to Narcissa. "I will, of course, take you up on your offer of shopping. I need a lot of
new things. I have clothes from before I was sent into the past, of course, but they're not
exactly my style any longer. That, and I'd like to get several sets of proper robes. Sirius, I
need you to key me into the Gringotts vaults so I can get some things taken care of."
"Anything you want, kitten."
Ron, overhearing the conversation, cleared his throat. "Umm... Hermione?"
She turned and looked at her friend. "Hmm?"
"You're going to spend Sirius's money? No offence, but... well, you always used
to say how much you hated when people relied on money like that," he said, eyeing Draco
at the opposite end of the table. "Galleons they didn't earn themselves."
