Draco turned to face the men and cleared his throat. "Ah, Sirius. Have you met
Madam Greengrass's lovely daughters?"
Sirius shook his head, understanding his role in the game. "I haven't yet officially
had the pleasure."
Draco looked at both Daphne and Astoria for the briefest of moments before he
reached for Astoria's slender hand and helped her to stand up. "May I present Miss Astoria
Greengrass," he said and then turned for Daphne's hand, "and her sister, Daphne."
Astoria looked positively delighted as she stood to greet Sirius, Daphne a bit less
so.
Sirius took each girl's hand and kissed their knuckles politely. "Ladies, it is a pleasure
to meet you both."
"And you, Lord Black." Astoria dipped her head politely, casting a glance back at
Draco once and winking at him.
Draco grinned and looked over his shoulder at Mia and Narcissa, who were both
smiling in approval.
"I'm so glad our families can be such good friends." Laurel beamed brightly, taking
and squeezing Mia's hand. She turned her attention to Harry, who was standing beside
Sirius. "You still haven't introduced me to your... nephew?"
"Brother," Mia corrected. "It's easier that way. Harry, this is Laurel Greengrass, one
of my dearest friends. And her daughters―"
Daphne stepped in front of her younger sister to smile brightly at Harry. "Daphne
Greengrass. And you are—?"
"Taken!" Ginny jumped up from her seat and made her way to Harry's side,
grabbing his hand. "And leaving." She turned her attention back to Mia and smiled.
"Hermione, congratulations again. And congrats to you, Malfoy."
"What were you congratulating Malfoy for?" Harry asked as he was practically
dragged from the room by his girlfriend. Ginny's answer was muffled as the door shut
behind them.
Narcissa smirked at Ginny's exit. "She's delightful."
"Shame." Laurel sighed, twisting a lock of blond hair around her finger. "Hyperion
will want them both arranged by the time they go back to Hogwarts."
"Are you going back to Hogwarts as well, Daphne?" Mia asked.
