[Scene: Just outside of the town of Vannes in France is a beautifully quaint wizarding village Bazille named after a very famous French wizard who bravely fought in the wizarding wars on the side of good and later did much in the way of changing laws in
the French Ministry regarding the rights of magical creatures. Just on the edge of this village is an old cottage with electrical cables running above. These of course have no electricity what so ever coursing through them, they are just for show as muggle tourists constantly pass through. Living in this particular home are Constance Brade retired nurse from Beauxbatons academy and Merrina Brade retired orphanage matron. With the sisters live their adopted twin boys; Maximus and Alexius Strauss. It is summer time and the boys are home on vacation. Max has been granted permission to have Zoe-Hope Weasley over for a weekend. His guardians are thrilled, his brother is not.]
Maximus walked back into the guest room and scratched his head, it looked fine. It did yet he was sure something was missing. The room had been charmed to appear more... girlie for the benefit of his guest, otherwise the room itself was actually his own. He for the duration of Zoe-Hope's stay would be camping out in his brothers room, much to Alexius' annoyance. The bed had been freshly dressed, the room aired to save her from the distinct male sweat smell and foot odour that seemed to linger no matter what. This time at least himself and Constance had managed to make it fresh smelling. He closed the door for the umpteenth time, he was nervous and it was understandable. Twice already he had showered and changed, never sure if he looked over the top or under dressed for the occasion. It was the first time after all that a girl had been invited to the house, it was the first time he had even wanted to invite a girl here. Finally settling on jeans and a white top Max hoped he was at least somewhat presentable.
He had already driven Constance and Merrina completely mad with his tidying up everything three times no matter whether it needed it or not. They thought it adorable that he had such a huge crush on someone but of course would not say this aloud for fear they would be told otherwise and then not be left into his confidence anymore. A noise at the door made him turn his head abruptly.
"I'll get it!" he practically ran headlong to the front door, took a deep breath and opened it.
