Draco landed in the middle of the rose patch, stopped to inhale the sweet scent of a large red rose before dusting his coat and stepping into the modest kitchen.

He heard the distinct sound of the TV blaring from the living room.

Julia Granger turned at once to the sound of footsteps behind her.

Her eyes widened in pleasant surprise.

"Draco, son," she exclaimed, coming towards him with her arms stretched wide.

He bent to her level and put his arms around her petite frame, eagerly returning the hug.

She touched his cheek tenderly and led him to the small table in the kitchen.

Pulling back a wooden chair, Draco settled himself and fiddled with his fingers nervously.

Absentmindedly, he played with the heavy family crested ring that wrapped itself around his middle finger.

Julia eyed the tall blonde man sitting in her kitchen curiously.

There was an eagerness, a purpose to his normally calm grey eyes.

She placed a steaming mug of hot chocolate in front of him and took the seat across.

"We missed you last week at dinner," she told him offhandedly and reached for a cream coated biscuit.

"I got caught up at work," Draco replied and sheepishly reached for a chocolate biscuit.

Usually confident, the man studiously avoided making eye contact and stared into his cup with a solemn expression plastered to his face.

Beads of sweat gathered on his brow, and Draco quickly wiped them away.

Julia raised an eyebrow, "Are you okay, Draco?"

He brought his gaze up from the mug to her face and smiled, "Yes, I'm very well, thank you."

Clearing his throat, he spoke, "I am sorry to barge in unannounced."

He looked around and asked, "Is Mr Granger around?"

Taking a sip of tea, Julia replied, "He's at the clinic..." she looked at the large clock that hung on the wall thoughtfully and said, "He should be here soon, though. He always pops in for lunch."

Draco smiled in relief. He needed both of them.

"How is everything else?" Julia probed.

"Everything is good," Draco replied nervously.

She eyed him suspiciously, "Draco, is everything..." A hearty laugh and greeting interrupted them.

Richard Granger's jovial voice filled the air, "Darling, I had the funniest patient today."
