CHAPTER NINE: MEETING PARENTS
OCTOBER 1977
Florence Bell was not usually an anxious person but the thought of meeting her baby daddy's parents caused a hurricane of butterflies to frequent her stomach.
"James" a feminine voice called out as the two walked through the fireplace.
James skipped over to his mother to give her a hug. "I missed you so much Jamsie," Euphemia Potter said, squeezing one of her sons. The other one is Sirius.
Florence reminded herself to remember the nickname James' mother had just given him. Jamie.
"Oh and you must be Florence," Euphemia said and she spotted Florence standing awkwardly by the fireplace.
Florence nodded, scared to say anything in case she made a bad impression.
"Oh come here dearie" Euphemia gushed, pulling Florence into a hug. Florence was surprised at the sudden contact she was receiving from Euphemia.
"It is so lovely to finally meet you, Florence. James has told us so much about you"
Florence looked over at James confused as to what he had been telling his parents. The two teenagers hardly knew each other. The only thing they had in common was what was growing inside of Florence.
"Thank you, Mrs Potter. You too"
"Merlin, you must call me Euphemia or mum, not Mrs Potter. That makes me sound old"
Florence smiled. James' parents were very welcoming considering the situation.
"Right your mother has been cooking up a storm in the kitchen all day so we better head towards the living room," Fleamont said gesturing for the group to head there.
Florence tried to hide her excitement as she smelled Euphemia's cooking. Boy was she hungry.
"This smells amazing Mrs Pott... Euphemia" Florence gushed, taking in the dinner that was laid out across the table.
James pulled out a seat for Florence before sitting down in the seat beside her. Even though James could be a pain in the ass he could be a true gentleman at times.
"Dig in kids" Fleamont announced. Florence did not need to be told twice to dig in. She helped herself to a generous serving of Euphemia's cooking.
"Florence, tell us about yourself," Euphemia asked the teenage girl sitting at her dining table.
Euphemia and Fleamont both knew a little about Florence courtesy of James. They also knew about the tragic death of her parents years ago. The two had attended the funeral. The Bells were a well known and respected pureblood family.
Florence searched her brain trying to figure out what to tell James' parents. She felt James nudge her leg with his from underneath the table. She took it as a comforting sign.
"Well I am in my seventh year with James and I'm in Slytherin..." she was cut off by James.
"They know all that Flo, I've told them already. They mean what you like to do or what you want to do when you leave school".
A small blush crept up Florence's cheeks as she heard James call her Flo.
"Oh well... I like to hang out with my friends and I guess I want to hopefully become a muggle studies professor when I leave school" Florence shyly said.
James' face lit up in surprise at the girl sitting beside him. He was surprised at the fact the girl wanted to become a muggle studies professor. He himself had hardly thought about what he wanted to do. When people asked he just used the generic answer of Auror. James guessed now his future had changed drastically and that he should seriously start considering what he was going to do.
