Roxanne didn't get to see Sevastian over the rest of spring break, but she did get to see Mandy. She had gone to the Granger's to wait for Mandy to call only to find Mandy herself, opening the back door to let her in.
"Roxanne!" Mandy cried, launching herself at Roxanne to hug her tightly.
"Mandy! What are you doing here?"
Mandy laughed. "Grandma and Grandpa Granger invited me to stay with them until school starts again on Monday."
"That's brilliant!" Roxanne said.
"No, you're brilliant. I can't believe you and Sevastian convinced the school board to keep Fieldspark open."
"How do you know about that?"
"Hermione told us, and we told Mandy," Grandma Granger said, coming into the living room from the kitchen. "Mandy dear, let Roxanne in and close the door. Then you can tell her your other good news over tea and biscuits."
Mandy giggle, and pulled Roxanne into the house and closed the back door. "Yes, its so exciting." Mandy had her arm looped through Roxanne's leading her further into the living room, when she stopped and looked back at the back door. "Why did you come in the back door?"
Roxanne froze, she didn't know what to say. Her family always used the back door because they apperated into the back yard so the Muggles wouldn't see them.
"Its a silly habit Hermione started, to surprise us one year," Grandma Granger said, coming out of the kitchen carrying a tea tray for two.
"And let me tell you, it sure surprised us the first time," Grandpa Granger said. "Our 50th anniversary was almost my last. As I almost had a heart attack at finding the whole family suddenly in the back yard."
"Oh, you loved it," Grandma Granger said as she poured Roxanne a cup of tea.
"After my heart slowed down, I loved it." Grandpa Granger clutched his heart dramatically.
Mandy and Roxanne giggled as they settled onto the couch.
"Enough about your heart," Grandma Granger said. "Mandy wanted to tell Roxanne her big news."
Mandy looked up from taking a biscuit. "Oh, right. I got into the Royal Ballet Summer Program!" She was smiling so big she seemed to radiate happiness.
Roxanne jumped up to hug Mandy. "That's wicked brilliant! I knew you'd get in."
"The letter was waiting for me here," Mandy explained. "I was so happy I cried."
"When Roxanne said you were worried about getting it we called the Royal Ballet's office and had them send it to us. We figured we could hand deliver it to you at school if need be," Grandma Granger said.
"Then I asked why we didn't just have Mandy stay with us," Grandpa Granger said.
"So they talked to my case worker and brought me here last night," Mandy finished excitedly.
"We tried to make it to the school board meeting but we got home too late," Grandma Granger said.
"But it looks like you didn't need us," Grandpa Granger said, ruffling Roxanne's hair.
Grandma Granger smiled at the girls as she took his arm and started back towards the kitchen. "Enjoy your tea girls, I'm sure you have a lot to catch up on."
"Have fun," Grandpa Granger called to them before muttering to his wife. "You better have saved some biscuits for us."
Mandy giggle, then leaned closed to Roxanne. "So spill, what was the misunderstanding between you and Sevastian? It's been driving me crazy."
