"You lie" Wyatt teased and chuckled. they had been through alot and had known each other since they were younger, had fallen inlove and had already talked about future plans - not that anyone else knew and he prefered it like that. "I love you too love"

Nicky's blue eyes gleamed at Kaitlynne interested asking "Do you know somone who works with dragons? When are you going to see and learn more about dragons? When we start Hogwarts or sooner?" He started thinking about how it would be to have an older brother or sister. Maybe it would be a lot different? Nicky got back to reality asking curiously "A chaser? Is that your favorite quidditch position?" He glanced around the hall and then said "I don't want to pry but why did you say your brother were teaching you how to be a chaser?It's okay if you don't want to tell me."

Nicky turned sideways to face his cousin saying "Yes, dragons. But i like a lot of other animals too like unicorns and cats." He shifted his feet to a more comfortable position asking curiously "What kind of stories about dragons? Maybe we can have a story time after lunch where you can tell a few of your dragon stories." Looking back to Kaitlynne he wondered what she thought of him.

"I play quidditch, too," Excelsior said proudly. "I'm a beater this year for the Slytherin quidditch team. We're only in the consolation game, though, against Ravenclaw. You guys are in the championship match, though, against Gryffindor. Hufflepuff has a really good team, but we're going to do our best to beat Ravenclaw and at least get some more house points! So, you're a chaser, huh? That's a really important position. Wouldn't it be fun if we could play a game of quidditch here?" Excelsior was just thinking, but it sounded like a cool idea.

"I think it might be a lot of fun for us to tell some stories about dragons, and maybe some other creatures as well!", Excelsior announced. "Why don't we have this story time after lunch and we can all share some stories about dragons, it sounds like lots of fun!"

"Getting those two together shouldn't be any problem at all, then we can deal with both of them and do what we have to do. I agree, we will do a far better job raising the two young ones then anyone else can. It is our duty to make sure that this happens, otherwise their lives with be wasted," Romulus said with a sneer.

Xzavior couldn't shake the thought that they might be wasting their time though. Draco would fight for the children, and all these friends of the two brats, all that made it somewhat hard to plan for everything.

Monica sighed happily and let Wyatt lead her around, where she introduced him to all their friends and family. She vaguely thought aobut her uncles then pushed that thought out of her mind.

Draco smiled at Snitra. "I am glad dear." He looked over the party with a smile, thinking to himself, just how lucky they were to be surrounded with family and friends."

Romulus looked around, wondering how they could possibly make their move with Draco here, compounded by the fact that there were many children here who would no doubt fight for their friends. He and Zxavior would have to plan their move very carefully, they might have to kidnap those two or something. Well, they had just gotten here, there was plenty of time to ponder what they were going to do. They just didn't want to wait too long.

"Thanks," Excelsior said. "Our team is getting better, I think, we have improved a lot since last year. I think we will finally have a great team by next year. Good luck to you, Savannah, in your championship game. I'm sure you'll do well."

Excelsior smiled.

Ashleigh Weasley Black stepped up to the doors of Malfoy manor, she was dressed in a Ankle length white sparkling dress. She was holding her daughter Emmy, She looked like a cherub. She was wearing a fluffy pink dress. "Well Emmykins, let's go in and have some fun!" She reached out and knocked on the door.

Xzavior sighed, he stood and walked out on his balcony. He nearly fell over the railing as he saw Ashleigh step up, "Merlin's beard but your little brother had excelent taste in women, even if she is a blood traitor!" He sighed, His eyeballs nearly bugging out.

I think he's drank too much Sintra thought as she saw her Uncle smile. Maybe, I could get to know him .... better?
"Uncle Draco, can I ask you something?" she started.

Draco sat down on the sofa next to Snitra. "You can ask me anything you want." He smiled, turning his full attention to his niece.

Draco sighed. "Yes darling, that was it. And your parents and I disagreed, all through school. Then when Harry turned out to be right, well nobody believed that I could actually be a good person." He looked up at her, hoping that she saw that he was being honest. "I honestly have nothing against your parents love, and I would love to see them, but I am afraid that they would not want to see me."

Excelsior smiled. He had heard all the stories from long ago, how Harry Potter had saved the wizarding kingdom and how his Uncle Draco had found a new found respect for him. He realized now that the stories were true and that because of this his uncle was a changed man.

Romulus couldn't believe his eyes, the beautiful woman who was entering the house was none other than Ashleigh Weasley Black, the woman of his dreams! He had to do a double take, could this really be happening?

"Uncle Draco, they might want to see you. I remeber them saying something about it one day," she paused. "Er.....what did you do that made you look bad. What about the Potter? Do you not like him now or something like that?" Sintra knew she was being kind of nosy, but she couldn't help it.

Monica heard the knock on the door and broke away from Wyatt for a moment to answer it. When she opened the door she squealed happily. "Merry Christmas Aunt Ashleaigh! Come on in. And Merry Christmas to you too Emmykins!" Monica held her arms out for her baby cousin.

Ashleigh laughed as she entered the house. "Merry Christmas to you too Darling! This is turning out to be quite a party isn't it?" She placed Emmy in her Eldest cousin's arms. "Thank you so much for inviting me!" She smiled softly.

Emmy cooed happily in her cousin Monica's arms.

"Oh, you are so welcome Auntie!" Monica replied. She couldn't wait until Uncle Draco saw her Aunt again!

Xzavior needed a moment to catch his breath. "Wow she is gorgeous. Well Rommulus, old man, I suppose we'd better at least pretend to enjoy this party before we carry out our plans tonight." He did not say that the first thing he intended to do was to romance Ashleigh but the implication was there. He streightened his suit and combed his shining black hair.

"Even then, our family was divided and had been Ever since Uncle Sirius was a boy. I am not proud of what I did. In school, those last two years, I was terrible. I nearly killed two people, one of which was professor Dumbledore. I suppose in a way, Harry had something to do with it, you see Snitra, Harry was part of our family too. Uncle Sirius was his godfather." He smiled as Snitra asked whether or not he liked Harry now. "Of corse I like Harry now! He and I are good friends. The problem is darling, that people find it hard to believe that I am no longer the kind of person I was as a boy."

Jason Potter Weasley waves his wand and presents for all are under the tree. " I eveen hae prsents for those two blacks I do not like" he says diabolically. The young children have three each> The ojnes around our age have two presents. The adults have one. " Hi Ashleaigh, Are we related?" he asks her.

Excelsior laughed and greeted his Aunt Ashleigh and cousin Emmy with excitement. They were the last people he had expected to see at this party. "Yeah, Jason, Aunt Ashleigh is both your aunt and my aunt, which means we are related through her. Can you believe it? I guess it just shows how large our families are! Anyway, I'm so happy to have the both of you here!" He began to gently play pattycake with his little cousin Emmy.

"Jason, you brought all these gifts! Wow, that's so nice of you! I have a little something for you, too, we'll open presents later, can't wait!", Excelsior said excitedly.

Romulus rolled his eyes and whistled softly under his breath. He wasn't about to reveal his hopes of winning the attentions of the fair Ashleigh tonight. He carefully straightened his tie, preparing to greet the love of his life.
