Flat 6C-
Hazel woke up around 11am. She realized someone was next to her. Jumping slightly she looked over. It was just Tristian. Hazel had fun at the party last night without him even though at midnight she wished he had been there as all the couples kissed and sang together. She left swiftly after midnight saying goodbye to his parents. Her dress was long and black with sparkles. She wondered when she would wear it again. Maybe to a Ministry Ball or some dinner. She got up slowly not to wake him up then went to the bathroom. After using it she grabbed the hangover potion from the cabinet. She looked in the mirror, “At least I got all my makeup off last night”, she said to herself. She grabbed her silk robe and went to the kitchen. An empty container of chips sat on the counter with an empty butter beer. Otherwise the kitchen was spotless. She made herself an ice coffee and some toast sitting down at the table. It was cloudy outside and looked colder finally. “Happy New Year”, Tristian said as he entered. He came over for a kiss clearly minty having brushed his teeth. “I could make eggs or something if your hungry?”, Hazel said to him. “Toast is fine”, Tristan said. He made some and sat down with her. “Thought I would make some pork, potato’s and pudding later”, He said “I went to the shops before work”, “A lot places maybe closed”, He said. “Sounds good babe”, She said. “How was the party?”, He asked, “It was so pretty and people had fun”, Hazel said. She showed him the few photos on her phone later that she had managed to take. “I am glad I said chicken though, your mum said the fish was nothing special and she was disappointed”, Hazel said. “The desserts were so good”, Hazel said. “There is a container in the fridge for you”, She told him. “I missed being there with you”, He said taking her hand. He leaned over to kiss her deeply. Hazel gave in as he moved her up out of her chair into the corridor and back to the bedroom. He said her name so softly and his look at her was determined and sexy. He was as always passionate to her. The first man ever to be really. He always knew where to place his hands and kiss her. He lifted her up slight under her back as he got on top of her slipping down her bottom pieces. “My goodness”, She said out loud not meaning too. He laughed all deep and hoarse from breathing deeply.
Lupin Household-
The house was full of Weasleys this New Years morning. The matriarch stood at their stove making pancakes and sausages. The large table expanded to fit everyone and extra chairs had been produced. OJ, Milk and pumpkin juice sat on the table. Ginny was setting the table with plates and silverware. The wireless played a quidditch match loudly. “Ginny for the love of Merlin turn that down”, Said Molly to her daughter. Nothing changed much for them Molly thought. Upstairs sat the men and some of their wives. The kids were upstairs with Dominique. Arthur, Ron, Harry and Hermione were in the office Vic let them in. They were discussing the break in. “I just don’t think he meant any harm”, Hermione said again. Ron was very upset by her. “We reset the wards and I put new security measures up to keep people back”, Harry said. Ron knew this but he was convinced. “He was just standing there in the kitchen randomly”, Hermione said. She had shouted for Ron upon seeing the man backing to the corridor. They both were dressed for a nice dinner out with the Potters. “I think we should let Saint Mungos figure it out and then the Aurors will take care of it Ron”, Said Arthur putting his hand in his son shoulder now. Ron nodded. Ron probably wouldn’t sleep for a week now honestly. They had stayed at Harry and Ginny’s home last night. Just then the door to the office was bang on by a ball thrown. There were giggles. Mason Weasley-Carter stood behind the door. “Throw it back!”, yelled Theo. Harry pulled the door open. He looked at the two boys with a sly smile. “Sorry we didn’t know you were there”, Theo said. “Come on Mason let’s go outside”, Theo said running down the stairs. “Bye”, Mason said grabbing the ball taking off after Theo. He didn’t look like a Weasley much expect his skinny arms and legs. He was sandy brown hair and brown eyes. His face was all his fathers but with freckles and a small smile for everyone. He was already at just five in school all day. His birthday was in November. “Boys stop running”, yelled Masons dad. One slowed down but the other continued to the back door. It swung open and slammed shut behind them. Harry rolled his eyes and went back into the room. “Ron we have done everything we can do for right now mate”, Harry said, “Let’s just enjoy today”, Harry said. “Alright”, Ron said. They then all went back downstairs together to join everyone. Molly yelled up the stairs. “It’s ready come eat !”, She said. Everyone sat down. Two seats still empty near Astrid at the end of the table. Bryant, the younger Mollys husband was missing also clearly outside with the boys now. “I will go get them”, She said to her dad who sat next to her. She went back upstairs and out the back door. “You have to wash hands come on now”, Molly said to the two boys down the stairs now. They both talked a mile minute. Bryant washed his also in the kitchen sink. They took their seats. “Isn’t this all nice all of us together”, Said the older Molly taking her apron off and sitting down. They all started passing around the food. Pancakes, toast, sausages, eggs everything you could want for a nice big breakfast. “This is way too much”, Bill said from her right side. “None sense”, Molly said. “You need a hair cut”, Molly said to Charlie reaching up to him. “Mum”, Charlie said. Everything was normal as Ron looked around. Rose was wrestling with little Liam on her lap. “Let me take him so you can eat”, Ron finally said. They exchanged him over the table. Vic and Dom sat near the other kids filling their plates with food. Molly and her husband looked relaxed in the middle of the table. Their son Mason had manners. He could sit still and eat fine. It was the other two that needed telling off more. Bryant looked down to him. Eating his eggs with a kid fork. Smiling happily. The noise got louder as the adults talked and laughed. It was a wonderful gathering for the New Year. They stayed at the house all day playing board games, exploding snap and chess. The kids went to the park down the street for awhile with Teddy and Bryant. Dinner was served around 4pm with bottles of wine for the adults. When everyone left later the kitchen was clean and spotless. “I don’t think I have seen the kitchen this clean before”, Vic said. Teddy just laughed a little reading the paper then there was a crash from the kids bathroom. “I am fine!”, yelled Astrid. “I will go up and make sure they go to bed”, Vic said leaving him. “Come on you two school tomorrow!”, Vic said. “I spent all morning ironing your shirts” Vic said. He just laughed and went back to read the evening paper. All was well for right now.
