A New Friend

The night of the ball came to an end, and the young Greengrass siblings, along with their newfound friend Blaise, found themselves snuggled up on a large sofa in the cozy family room. They were surrounded by soft candlelight, their laughter still echoing in the air.

Marlène and Cassandra joined them, sitting nearby with warm smiles on their faces. They listened to the children's stories about the evening and their excitement for future adventures.

Blaise, who had always been a bit reserved, found himself drawn to the lively chaos that was the Greengrass siblings. They had a mischievous glint in their eyes, always looking for ways to inject a bit of excitement into any situation. He felt like they had a knack for getting the others involved in their pranks and escapades.

"Blaise, dear, we're so glad you could join us tonight," Marlène said, patting the young boy's head affectionately.

"Yes, it was really fun! I'm happy I got to meet all of you," Blaise replied, his shy demeanor softening as he felt welcomed into the Greengrass family.

Astoria, who had grown quite fond of Blaise, hugged him tightly and exclaimed, "You're our new friend, and we'll be friends forever!"

Blaise couldn't help but laugh, feeling a sense of belonging with this lively group of friends. "I hope so, Astoria. You all are amazing!"

The sentiment was met with agreement from all the children as they exchanged knowing smiles.

As the night grew later, Marlène and Cassandra decided it was time for the children to head to bed. They all said their goodnights and made their way upstairs, giggling and sharing secrets as they walked.

In their shared guestroom, Astoria, Daphne, Eden, and Blaise continued to chatter away, not ready to say goodbye to the night just yet. They lay on their beds, the room dimly lit by a small bedside lamp.

"Daphne, do you think we'll all go to Hogwarts together one day?" Blaise asked, his eyes wide with curiosity.

Daphne smiled warmly at him. "I hope so! That would be amazing, wouldn't it? We could explore the magical world together and have so much fun!"

Eden, with a small grin, added, "And imagine all the mischief we could get into! The castle is full of secret passages and hidden rooms just waiting to be discovered!"

Astoria giggled at the thought, her imagination running wild with the idea of endless adventures. "Yeah, and I bet I can prank the teachers better than anyone!"

Blaise couldn't help but chuckle, realizing that he was now part of a group that could bring him both excitement and laughter. "I can't wait to experience it all with you guys."

They all laughed at Astoria's confident declaration, knowing that with Eden's subtle mischief, Daphne's intelligence, and Blaise's calm presence, they were in for a magical and chaotic journey at Hogwarts.

Marlène and Cassandra stood by the slightly ajar door, peeking into the room. They shared a heartwarming smile, grateful for the bond that had formed between their children and Blaise in such a short time.

Cassandra leaned in and whispered to Marlène while grinning ear to ear, "Marlène...Our children are going to drive the professors nuts."

Marlène nodded, her eyes shining with pride and humor. "Yes, they will. And I couldn't be more proud! Do you remember what a pain Mrs. Norris used to be? I wonder if she still is out and kicking making students life a hell.."

Cassandra looked at her and snickered, "Well, we will know when they start. I bet that she will be onto them the first night"

"Don't mind if I take you up on that bet," Marlène said with a matching grin.

"The new dress in Elara's Enchanted Atelier?" Cassandra proposed.

Marlènes grin widened as she said, "You are reading my mind,"

With that, the mothers quietly closed the door, leaving the children to their whispered dreams of magical worlds and endless possibilities.

As they drifted off to sleep, Blaise felt a warm sense of belonging and gratitude. He knew that he had found something special in this group of friends, something that would stay with him forever.

And so, in the embrace of friendship and magic, the Greengrass siblings and Blaise began a new chapter in their lives—a chapter filled with love, laughter, and the promise of incredible adventures to come. With the Greengrass siblings ambition to mess with people, the journey ahead was bound to be exciting and unpredictable, and Blaise couldn't wait to experience it all with his new friends.
