Ray smiled when the car raised in the air, he never tried this way of travelling before and it seemed so strange, usually he aparate with his sister, but that was a funnier way.
" I think Monica is doing a great job, I'm not used to this kind of transportation but what do you know I think I'm liking it" Ray said as he watched houses and trees and little muggle cars below them.
"Yeah, I think we are going to arrive their in one piece" Ray said as he laughed. "Of course, unless we got under attack!" Ray jocked.

"She seems to be a natural driver," Draco said. "I had a feeling she would be, But then, our Monica is a very fast learner, especially if it's something she really wants to do. She is a very determined girl." He smiled at Ray. "Well, I'm pretty sure an attack isn't imminent on the horizon, still you never know." He laughed, remembering back to the days when attacks were possible. But then, there was no Dark Lord around today to worry about, at least not one concerned with anything they might be doing in the little muggle car.

"Hey, there's Melinda!", Excelsior called out. "Got all your stuff ready, Melinda? We're coming in to get you!" Excelsior knew Melinda was very organized, and wasn't surprised to see that her luggage was all ready to go, all properly shrunk to size. "We're going to have so much fun on this trip, it's only just getting started."

Monica smiled and waved at Melinda as she brought the car down to a smooth landing. She turned off the engine and got out. "Hey Mel! How are you?" She hugged her cousin.

ooc: Yeah she can be pregnant.

Excelsior jumped out of the car and started placing Melinda's bags into the trunk. "Wow, good timing," he said. "I think we only have one more person to pick up, or is it two?" He wasn't sure whether they were going to be picking up Sarah or not.

Draco turned to Melinda and gave her a hug. "Nice to see you are doing well, as always. It's been a while and a lot has changed, but all for the better," he said. "Anyway, there will be plenty of time for catching up on the trip, and we're all really happy that you could make it."

"That's right, we have to go back to Malfoy Manor and pick up Melissa now, don't we?", said Excelsior.

"I hope you and the baby are doing well, Melinda," Draco said. "Okay then, we're off to get Melissa and we'll be on our way! You're doing a fine job of driving, Monica, just as I expected."

"I stand corrected!", replied Excelsior remembering the recent name change for the Manor. Calling it Malfoy Manor was very much a force of habit, but he would get used to the change.

"Sure, that would be fine. You'll have driven quite a good distance by that point anyway, so it would make sense to change at Bermuda," Draco said. "Don't you guys all think she's doing a great job?", he asked, addressing the whole group.

"You are going to have a little boy? That's great, Melinda," Excelsior said, listening to everything his cousin had said. "Emmy will be happy to have someone to play with that's near her age. I am so happy for you!"

"It is wonderful, agreed Draco. "All right then, Monica, it's back to Black Mansion to pick up your other cousin Melissa," Draco said. After this stop, they would really be on their way!

"Come on, let's get going!" Ashleigh called from her seat where she had been changing Emmy's Diaper.

"Mel-Mel!" Emmy squealed.

"Melinda, this is my close friend Ray." She said introducing them as she jumped into the car and buckled up.

Monica took off again, as smoothly as anyone could want. "Ok Lis here we come!"

"I'm doing good!" She smiled. She put her finger to her lips as she put Mel's hand on her belly. She hadn't told Draco yet.

The baby girl squealed happily as she got kisses!

Ashleigh smiled with her secret. "You are doing just fine love."

"Ok we're here!" Monica said as she landed smoothly right next to Uncle Sirius' old Bike"

Emmy patted Melinda's tummy "Ba-By?" She asked.

Emmy smiled her wide toothless grin. "Baby!"

"I'm doing great!"Ashleigh smiled. "Melissa could I borrow your restroom for a moment?" Ashleighasked feeling sick. "Draco watch Emmy please." She said to her husband. Then she ran into the bathroom and was sick.

Emmy squealed again. "Ma-Ma Baby!" She said to her daddy.

Monica smiled. "I'm great Lis! This is my Friend Ray." She smiled to Her cousin. "Mom are you ok?" Monica called after Ashleigh

Excelsior hugged his cousin Melissa, happy to see her. "It seems like a long time since Christmas already, doesn't it?", he said. "I'm really happy both you and Melinda could come on the trip with us, and Ray as well. It's going to be so much fun!" And hopefully Sarah will be there later, he said silently to himself.

"Melissa, it's always a pleasure," Draco said sincerely. "I know this little family trip is going to do us all a world of good. Monica has been doing a great job of driving, and I'm confident she will get us all there safely and efficiently. She's really a natural student." He beamed.

Draco smiled. It was amazing how sharp Emmy was. "That's right, Emmy, a baby. Soon you won't be the youngest in our family anymore."

Ray saluted Melinda with a shake of hand. This family was as big as the Sweetmair, their neighbours who had about ten kids. This trip is going to be great Ray thought to himself, as he sat back straight
