Draco was sitting in his home office, behind his desk. Since ending things with Astoria the day before, he had mostly kept to himself. He chose to eat by himself, instead of joining his parents, and only left his room once he was sure they’d gone to bed. His mother must have realised that something was off because she and his father left him alone, except to have food sent to him for every meal. He tried to work but most just sat about reading or staring out the window. He almost didn’t hear the the door to his study open, but he looked up in a daze. “Oh, hi Sugar Plum...”

Eugenie bustled about her cottage, making sure her home looked presentable. “Ziggy, if your room isn’t clean when I come up there, there will be no screen time for a week!” She shouted up the stairs to him. Her older son stuck his head over the railing. “I’m helping him, mum.” Her little peace maker. “Thank you dear. Dad’ll be here in ten, do you think you’ll be done by then?” He nodded and disappeared back to his brother’s room. It was Evan’s week with the boys, and while Genie was glad that she and their dad could coparent so well and that Wilder and Ziggy got to see their dad, she did get a little lonely when they were away. At least she had the animals to keep her company. Speaking of... She quickly made her way out to the backyard, stopping to grab the chicken feed on her way to the henhouse when a pop of apparition startled her out of her thoughts. “Well hello stranger!” She grinned when the person stepped out of the sun’s light and she realised who had come to visit.
