"Where is my niece?!" I heard aunt Marls yell. I sat up, Enzo looked at me confused. He was half asleep while I laid in his lap. Vega popped her head up and looked around. I called her off it.

"What the fuck?" He muttered. Theo sat up from my chair.

"Where's Matty?" He asked.

"His room." I replied.

"Did he roll?" He asked. I shrugged.

"Probably. Aunt Marls is here." I stood up as she walked in the room. She covered her eyes. Uncle Evan looked over her head.

"There's a boy in her bed." He said. Uncle Barty popped his head in.

"It's Lorenzo, it's fine." He said. Aunt Marlene uncovered her eyes.

"Enzo, stand up!" She ordered. He rubbed his eyes, but did. "Holy shit, you grew." He laughed.

"Yeah." He said awkwardly.

"You grew your hair out, you look incredibly different," She paused as she examined him. She wrapped him in a tight hug. "Aw, Enzo, you grew up!"

"Thanks Marls." He hugged her. She pulled back after a second and smiled at me.

"Oh! Yeah! Why I'm here," She turned to Uncle Evan. "Give it here." He handed her a bag.

"Drink responsibly kids." He told us. I gave him a hug.

"They won't. They're sixteen." Uncle Barty joked as he pulled me from Uncle Evan and hugged me.

"Did you drink responsibly at the annual Potter slumber party?" I asked. Uncle Barty narrowed his eyes at me with a grin.

"I didn't go to the annual Potter slumber party."

"Did you drink responsibly at sixteen?" He laughed.

"Godrick, El you know I didn't." I laughed.

"If you get caught by your dad, I have no idea where the liquor came from. If you get caught by your mum, ask her about the first christmas party your dad came to." Aunt Marlene told me with a wink. I nodded.

"Love you guys." I told them.

"We love you, cub." Uncle Evan told me. Cub, his curated nickname since mum's is Vix.

"Mattheo is smoking weed." Uncle Barty said as they walked out.

"I knew it!" Theo yelled as he ran out of my room down to Matty's. Enzo looked at me.

"What?" I asked. He grabbed the bag and started laying out the contents on my bed.

"Firewhisky, beer, red currant rum, daisy root draught, and beetle berry whisky." He listed. I moved to stand beside him. He looked down at me with a grin. I glanced up.

"You're being weird." I told him.

"I'm not being weird."

"Tell me why you didn't stay this summer."

"Tell me about who you met in Italy." We stared at each other. "You didn't meet someone, you hooked up with Theo." My face went red.

"Holy shit you fucked Theo." I reached up to cover his mouth.

"Shut up." He laughed against my hand. I waited until he stopped to pull my hand back. His face sort of fell.

"So what? Are you guys together now?" He asked. I shook my head.

"No, Merlin, no. We were drunk and sharing a cigarette, and I don't know, it just happened."

"Nothing 'just happens' with you or Theo. You're the two most calculated people I've ever met." He sat on my bed and patted the spot next to him. I started putting the bottles back in the bag.
