Oliver brought Lisa a glass of the punch he had made and set it on the coffee table for her before taking a seat on the couch. He grinned at her, thinking about tomorrow and the present he was going to pick up for her in the morning. Francie barked at Lisa happily before flopping onto her back, her head in Lisa's lap, and sighed in a content manner, exposing her belly to be rubbed.

"I'm excited," Oliver said with a grin. "I've never wanted tae show off an apartment before, but I'm verra proud of all we've done here. I can't wait for Harry and George tae see, even if they will tease me something awful, I'm sure."

She rubbed Francie's belly and listened to Oliver. She did love Francie, very much, even when she stunk up the room. She leaned down and hugged Francie before letting go. She got up and sat down next to Oliver on the sofa, hugging him and watching Francie on the floor. She patted the sofa and invited her up there with them.

"Do you think people are going to show up?" she asked quietly. She looked over at him, looking almost worried. "I mean, I really don't have loads of friends to invite."

"Harry said he's coming for certain, and that's a mutual friend," Oliver said with a smile, leaning over and kissing her gently. "And Georgie, at some point. I'd be glad with jus' tha - or even jus' you, ye ken." He smiled at her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"I invited Jessica," she began, thinking to herself. She smiled softly, but there was a hint of sadness in there. "I think she still thinks she's 'on trial'. She'll probably drop me the instant she learns that her job is permanent."

Harry had thought, when he was younger and until not so long ago, that for someone to look as good and polished as Draco always looked, it'd take a lot of time, and, thus, that someone would be prone to lateness. To his surprise, he'd discovered since the holidays that Draco was anally punctual. He still took his time to do what Harry called "his beautifying routine" but he was ready just when he had to be. He had also discovered that it meant that he was going to be punctual, more so than usual, so that was how he was at exactly 8:30 pm in front of Lisa and Oliver's new flat.

"I'm sure we'll be the first," he told Draco after he knocked at the door.
