✧LATE-NIGHT TEA✧

◊━━━━━✥━━━━━◊

***

Over the course of the first full week with their nephews living with them, the four had come to a rather easy schedule to go off of. Rhea would entertain them the majority of the day, and Alphard would join them when he could.

Last night they had eaten out, which he had enjoyed regardless, but now it was time for Rhea's plan to finally come into action. And Regulus had been promised the night to themselves just as soon as she dropped off Sirius elsewhere.

And that left him being the only one to be clueless on where he was headed with Rhea, he had just been mindlessly following her through Diagon Ally.

"You know, I was prepared for you to badger us on our studies." Rhea's laughter had grown to be a comfort in his ear as he continued to keep his arm locked into hers. "I'm an eagle, not a badger. And we did some work when it was raining. You haven't much left, and perhaps it's an excuse for you to visit in the future." He grinned once again, though caught sight of the basket in her arms.

"What is all this for? I rather liked the biscuits elves make." He claimed and Rhea simply grinned wider than before. "I know, I have to drop this off to a friend. I hope you don't mind." The thing is, he couldn't care less.

"Is it Jade or Daniella? They were rather kind the last time I spoke with them." He offered, and Rhea smiled at the idea of speaking about Daniella's new infatuation with Jaspar. "Merlin, the birds are ganging up."
"And with that attitude, Siri, you'll be marrying a Hufflepuff." She deemed and he scoffed. "Too humble for my tastes."

"You're correct, I've only caught with how many Hufflepuffs in the last few years?" She countered, and she was certainly correct. Rhea was always correct in pulling up memories.

"Shouldn't say anything to me, Rhea, the tables have turned. Drastically, I might add. I thought my uncle would've lost his flare by now." He said, wiggling his brows and Rhea blushed down to the cobblestone road beneath them. "He's perfect, age is just a number. I keep imagining if I would have met him in his youth that he wouldn't have found me as—"

"As what? Attractive or interesting? Rhea, take a grand ol' look at him the next time you're talking to him. He's captivated by your very being." She laughed lightly into her hand at his admission of the truth. "You really think so?"

"I know so. Now, do we have any more stops before heading to your friend's manor?" She shook her head and the two made a slight turn to go somewhere it would be much appropriate to apparat, and instantly enough the two had landed at a rather brilliant estate.

Sirius didn't know what to make of it, granted all of Rhea's friends were pureblooded as well. He just assumed they weren't as well off or as—

"Could you knock? My hands are rather full." He didn't hesitate to do so, and the voices behind the door hadn't outed Rhea just yet. Not until the devious face of James had swung the door open to allow them both inside.

"Cat got your tongue, Padfoot?" Sirius was downright shocked to see his best mate, or to be at his manor all things considering. So he turned up silently to his Aunt who chuckled once more to see his dropped jaw.

"Flies will be popping up if you aren't careful Siri, now do enjoy yourself. If you need anything, owl. I'll send it right over with an elf. Be here at about two tomorrow." She said, handing James the bundle of goodies and flowers that they had purchased on the trip into town.
