[tt_fleur]

Where: Bill & Fleur's place
What: Fleur invited Remus over for dinner
Warnings/rating: PG-ish

Fleur's extracting blue eyes surveyed the scene before her one more time looking for any flaws: the table had been set, the appetizers were done, the main course was almost done cooking and the wine was chilling. Everything seemed in order but that didn't mean it was safe from her scrutiny. There was just something about being French. Something that stated that your dinner parties were supposed to be neatly arranged, prepared and constitute more food than probably was needed. Or maybe it was just growing up with a mum that was a chef. Either way Fleur knew that she had the food aspect covered to their evening.

Shuffling her feet impatiently went back to leaning against the counter, pretending to read, as she listened to Bill shuffle around in the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. It was still hot out but at least the setting sun had offered a little relief from the sticky summer heat. The page of her book, which she had leaned against a sugar bowl, made a soft flutter as she turned it but her mind wasn't on the book in front of her. Truth was Fleur didn't know what to expect when Remus showed up. It wasn't the Remus they were familiar with but he was still the same person in essence. Fleur hoped things weren't too awkward and that they would find common ground. She hoped this full moon hadn't been too stressful on him or anymore than it had to be.

When the knock on the door came she fluttered over to the door in her usual graceful manner and pulled open the door. "Bon soir Remus," Fleur greeted warmly with a smile as she stepped aside to allow him into their home. "Are you well?" She asked studying him quickly before leading him back to the kitchen and dinning area. "Dinner is almost done."

Hearing Remus’ question and seeing Fleur’s reaction to it, had Bill laughing. “Did mum tell you to ask us that?” he chuckled and combed his fingers through his hair. He still hadn’t gotten completely used to the lack of length, but he still preferred it as it was now. “Like Fleur said, when the time is right, though they’re always welcome. We’ve just no… specific plans.”

“But let me turn this around a little, Remus,” he said, still smirking at the fact that Remus obviously felt comfortable enough to ask these kinds of questions. “Do you have any ideas what you’d like to do now that you’re here?”

Remus chuckled. "No, although that does sound like something she'd do. I don't know, Bill. I'm here, existing, with no st plans. Although there is something I'd like to discuss with you, and then Kingsley. Educational nature." He said, taking a drink of his wine. He relaxed some in his chair. These were friends. He trusted them.

"You may agree to one part of the idea."
