And they were back at it. Everyone sat back on the floor or sofas. Romy and Nate seemed unsure where to go but Remus, Sirius and Rowan were there. Remus could tell that his niece was hesitant though so he leaned down and whispered, "It's okay, cariad. Go be with your friends."

"Are you sure ? I can—"

"Perfectly."

Rowan smiled at him slightly and kissed his cheek before going towards her friends who were in a conversation with the three Slytherin boys from the previous day.

"Why is she...?"

"She's going to need a minute to process," Remus explained to his sister. "Romy, it took her years get over you. She's been mourning Nate for months and while she is much better than she was, it'll take her a little bit to just get used to you guys being here."

"Oh. Right," Romy nodded. "Yeah, that makes sense."

"There's a boy touchin' her," Nate raised an eyebrow.

Remus looked over to find that Rowan had settled next to Jason. Her head was on his shoulder as she quietly listened in on his conversation with Theodore Nott and his arm around her waist.

"Yeah, that's her boyfriend."

"That guy's her boyfriend ?" Nate gaped. "What happened to Ethan ?"

"He died."

"Oh."

"Yeah," Remus nodded.

"Damn. I kind liked him. You know, before..."

Remus chuckled, taking his husband's hand as they all sat on a sofa behind the demigods. Romy sat between Sirius and her brother. She watched as her daughter smiled at the brunette boy with her and her boyfriend and quietly said something to which he nodded.

"She has a tattoo ?"

"She has multiple," Remus said. "You can ask her about them later. She likes talking about them."

Romy nodded though she couldn't help but feel sad. She was there. She had a chance to be with her daughter and yet, her daughter seemed distant. She knew it was because Rowan probably was scared to get attached and lose her again but it still stung.

Harry watched with narrowed eyes as Jason's thumb stroked at the bare skin of Rowan's waist, right at the edge of where the fabric of her dress ended at her back. How come he was allowed to do that ? But it made Harry even madder that Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini and Theo Nott were with her and her friends and she seemed perfectly fine. She was perfectly content talking to them yet always scowled when she talked to him. He was a hero ! These boys were the children of death eaters.

And she looked so beautiful too. In that backless dress and with those red lips, Harry wanted her all to himself. If it were up to him, she wouldn't be allowed to wear anything like that in public. It had attracted many eyes already. Jason didn't seem bothered though. How could he let his girlfriend go out in something that would attract other men ? That was just wrong. Wasn't he worried someone would swoop in and steal her ? Maybe Harry should try. After all, in a dress like that, she's practically begging for attention.
