both witches cooed in delight at the gift. Draco, despite not having Astoria there to shower
in jewels, presented his mother with a diamond brooch that she smiled sweetly over and
kissed his cheek in gratitude.
Mia turned to look at Sirius. "Where's mine?"
He looked up at her, seeming confused. "Where's your what?"
"My gift, you prat. I know you bought me something."
"For Valentine's Day?" He looked offended at the suggestion. "I would never."
"Hand it over, mongrel."
Sirius smirked and stood up, walking into the other room and returning moments
later with a long red box topped with an obscenely large bow. He made his way toward
Mia but stopped halfway there to place the box down in front of Remus, who was rolling
his eyes.
"Moony, my love," Sirius gushed dramatically. "Happy Valentine's Day."
Mia giggled, and everyone save for herself, Remus, Sirius, and Tonks looked at the
scene strangely.
"You shouldn't have," Remus said sarcastically as he opened the box, snatching up
two pieces of chocolate and handing one to his wife.
Sirius re-joined Mia on the other side of the table to receive a kiss for all of his
efforts.
"Not that this hasn't been a hoot," Fred said as he and George stood. "But we have
to get home to the flat. Katie and Angelina are coming over, and we're supposed to cook
them dinner."
"Right." George nodded, delicately dabbing the edge of his napkin against the
corners of his mouth. "Anyone want to teach us how to cook?"
Fred bowed graciously before Sirius and Mia in gratitude for lunch. George stopped
to kiss Tilly's hand, much to her shock and annoyance. The twins fled to the fireplace
before the little elf could swat their backsides.
"Did you boys send something off to your witches at Hogwarts?" Mia asked Draco
and Harry.
"What do you take me for, Potter? Of course I sent something. A sapphire bracelet
that will make Astoria the envy of the school." Draco smirked proudly. Narcissa, Laurel,
and Hyperion all looked at him with approval.
