Holidays in Wiltshire

"Careful there," Draco said, helping his wife, Mia, along. He glanced over at his mother-in-law, Lemia, to make sure she was all right as well as they approached the front gate of the Malfoy Manor. Already there was the familiar screech of the white peacocks strutting around, much of the place now back to how it was prior to the war

Once the gate was open, Lemia walked just a little ahead, mostly to look at the peacocks.

"Such pretty creatures," she says, looking at them with a warmth enough to melt the winter chill.

"Draco had talked about bringing some to Vane," Mia says, gladly accepting her husband's support.

"Has he? Will they be adaptable to the change in location? And they will be fine with the family, right?"

"Mother, you're going to encourage him."

Not that Mia seems to mind this now, as her last statement was said with a light laugh.

"I can certainly convince them and make arrangements," Draco replied winningly, happy at his in-law's excellent good taste.

"I was meaning more that they will be fine with the newest addition to our family," Lemia comments. "I've no intention of taking your parents' peafowl."

"I'm sure we can work something out if we wish," Mia replies.

In the meantime, there's the matter at hand, as it won't be long before they've reached the Manor door.

Draco looked nervous, "Well, they were wondering when they would be grandparents last time we spoke."

He no sooner reached the door that it opened to Narcissa standing in the doorway. She immediately came forward to draw her arms around her son.

"Draco darling, it's been too long. How are you? Are you eating well?"

He rolled his eyes, "Yes Mother, it's mostly been my own cooking in fact, along with Mia." He then stepped back, "Mother I think you remember Lemia from the wedding? Mia's mum and the previous Guildmaster of Vane?"
