Oliver was standing outside kicking at a small pebble, hands stuffed in the pocket of his jeans, when a voice came from behind him. Turning, he beamed as he greeted an old friend, Erik. Of course. Erik Tearstone, how could he have forgotten one of his oldest friends? "Erik." He said and chuckled when he mentioned the ministry pairing him up with his sister. "Alice is your sister?" He said and glanced at the beautiful young woman standing behind Erik. "Yes, he was never good at introductions." Oliver said with amusement as he took her hand and gently shook it. "Pleasure, Alice." He said to her.

He hardly noticed the blonde who had approached Erik, he recognized her from Hogwarts, but her name wasn't registering with him. When Alice suggested they go inside, Oliver nodded in agreement. "Let's go." He said and held open the door, sole purpose for his date and "match", Alice, but he couldn't come across as a complete ass hole. He flashed Alice with his most charming and dazzling smile.

Eva was deep in thought when Narcissa came to answer the door. She invited them inside and led them to the garden for tea. Eva wanted to scream 'murderer' at Draco and his mother, give them the most dangerous spell she knew, hurt them like the people he has hurt, but she fought that urge . Her eyes fell on Draco and was a little taken aback, he looked different, a lot different then what she had remembered him being only a couple years ago. He looked.. sane.

When they entered the garden, Eva's breath caught in her throat. It was gorgeous, she always had a green thumb herself. She expected it to be gloomy, different shades of grey and black, but no. This was like a garden you'd see in a Home & Garden magazine, and Eva couldn't contain the huge grin glued on her face. She glanced up when Narcissa mentioned Draco becoming a healer. Eva looked at him, curiosity showed on her face.

"Really?" She asked, unable to hide the surprise in her voice.
