Harry nudged her as she went down the stairs, almost causing her to fall. Luckily, she only missed one step before she recovered herself. She scowled at him and he laughed at her, pulling his tongue out at as he bounced down the stairs. “Zoe’s in love.” He sang as his sister pushed him roughly in the side, a clear signal to ‘shut-the-hell-up.’

            They went into the living room and sat down on the sofa, since she had got up a little earlier than normal for school and there was just enough time to relax for a moment or two. Zoe had taken Inigo’s advice and now wore a dark purple top with a multicoloured design, like splattered paint, on the front and dark jeans. She did look quite good actually in purple. She tried to remember that for the next time she went anywhere, though it probably wasn’t going to be hard to forget.

“Just because you’re now single doesn’t mean everyone else is.” She said and smirked as he pulled a face at her. Anna’s top was flung over his shoulder and he touched it lightly with his fingertips as Zoe mentioned the subject.

“Don’t bring Anna into this. It’s hard enough not seeing her every day.”

“Yeah well you shouldn’t tease me and then I wouldn’t.”

“What are you two bickering about?” Rosalie asked happily as she bounced into the room with a huge smile on her face, her flowery dress way too loud to be worn with such a bubbly person.

“Zoe’s got a boyfriend. They’re in love.” Harry said, holding the ‘o’, before Zoe could say anything. She blushed as Rosalie raised her eyebrows, a grin spreading all over her face. Zoe pushed her brother, irritated at him, and he smirked. She was so going to mention Anna loads tonight, just to annoy him, even if it did hurt him and she would feel guilty for it afterwards.

“Who’s the lucky guy?” She asked nosily.

“Inigo.” Harry answered and Zoe glared furiously at him, shoving his arm even more. Scratch that, she wouldn't feel guilty at all.

“The dark haired boy who helped us unpack?”

“The very one.” Harry smirked.

“How sweet! He’s a wonderful lad. Me and Penelopé were talking about him yesterday, passing-by chat, you know, when I went to the corner shop to get some food. They don’t sell very much around here…Anyway we were talking about our children and she told me that he had taken a shine to you. Talks about you constantly, apparently. It’s cute. Of course he would die of embarrassment if he knew that she had told me so best not to say anything. It’s strange. He’s never had a girlfriend, not one that Penelopé knows about anyway. He’s a good-looking lad too. I would have thought every girl would be all over him…”

“Lots of boys are good-looking in my school, Mum.” Zoe blushed as she said it.

“Maybe he could come over and…”

“NO! ARGH. I’m going to school.” Zoe stood up and moved towards the door to remove herself before it got any worse, spotting the grin on Harry’s face. He was pleased with himself. At least he hadn’t said anything about last night. She pulled a tongue at him before he and her Mum followed her to the front door. It was easier to get to school earlier than to stand the torture of questions and suggestions that would follow in the conversation.

“Ask him to come round for…” Zoe slammed the front door shut behind her before Rosalie could finish and sighed. Harry was so going to get it when she got home.
