"Hi there!"
Gabrielle Delacour rose immediately to curtsy, as her mother and father had always instructed her to do upon meeting someone new, but the other blonde seemed to take it as an invitation and immediately pulled the younger girl into a hug instead. "My name is Luna, this is Ginny and Hermione, you must be Gabbie right?"
"G-Gabrielle D-Delacour." the Veela managed to reply while being squeezed by the excitable Lovegood.
"Luna, let her breathe…" the redhead admonished, earning cooperation from her friend. "Sorry, Luna is a bit… happy to meet new people."
"Especially those with our Lord, and you're so cute too!"
Hermione muttered a soft 'down girl' from behind, causing the blonde to stick her tongue out in retaliation.
"Uhm, thank you, you're very pretty too."
Luna gave a patented, 'this somehow means I win' smirk before reaching out and grabbing the youngest girl's hand, "We heard your sister is doing some boring legal stuff right now, come play with us!"
Gabbie barely managed to nod her head in agreement before being practically dragged from the room.
...
"Hey there Andi, long time no see."
Andromeda Tonks glared back at her cousin, before her gaze shifted to Narcissa standing next to him, and another woman, obviously under a Glamour Charm, as the third individual. "What do you want Sirius?"
"What, I can't come and visit my favori…" an elbow to his side promptly interrupted his reply, before he coughed to cover up the yelp of pain, "I mean uh one of my favorite cousins?"
"Considering you have been out of prison for over a year and are just now doing so… no."
"You wound me Andi, you wound me deep."
"Sister," Narcissa spoke up, saving the man from further embarrassing her, "I was wondering if we might have a talk about a few things and catch up on old times."
"Oh? Like when you cast me out for choosing who to marry? Or perhaps it was the death threats you and our psychotic bitch of a sister sent me every year for my birthday? Or maybe we could all have a nice talk about the shady characters you hired to follow and harass my husband when we first married?"
The Malfoy matron's gaze dropped to the ground, "I… have been a rather awful sister haven't I…"
Her rage faltered. She had always hated making her sisters feel bad, and even after all these years it seemed to be something that didn't change. "Fine… come in, I trust I do not need to take your Wands from you?"
Sirius answered for the trio, "No, no of course not. We aren't here to fight or threaten anyone I promise."
Nodding Andromeda led them inside, before gesturing to a couch and two chairs setup in the living area, "Make yourselves at home, I will get tea."
"Thank you, sister."
Minutes later she reentered, only to freeze at the sight of Bellatrix Lestrange glancing around the room from her couch, the disguise having worn off moments prior.
"What is she doing here?"
"I…"
"I. Don't. Care. Get out !"
"Andi please…"
"I do not want that psychotic bitch in my house!"
Narcissa rose, snatched her eldest sister's Wand from her hand before marching over to the other and handing it to her. "We are not here to fight Andi… I promise."
The middle child's eyebrow rose, before slowly taking the offered object and glancing over to her, now pouting, older sister.
"Fine… tea is ready."
Taking the tray, the Malfoy gently distributed cups before sitting down herself and taking a sip.
"So, uh… this is nice…" Sirius chimed in, earning glares from the women. "Alright alright so it is super awkward and tense, look Andi we are here to talk about your daughter."
"And her relationship with your godson I take it?"
The only male nodded, "Yeah, that too…"
"I am certainly not going to try and jeopardize it."
Bella's mouth quirked up into a smirk, "What, didn't send a marriage proposal like every other Witch in the world?"
Andromeda scowled, " No I did not. Just because my husband passed away several years ago does not mean I am 'in the market' as they say."
