It had been likely the longest that her brother had remained in the area since he was a Hogwarts student. Quite frankly, it began to give Freddie hope that perhaps this was a more permanent arrangement. But what would really tell her was him.

It would be so nice if he was around in their lives, rather than the one to simply visit during the winter holidays. A bit smile was on her face as she greeted her older brother. "Arven! It is quite marvelous to see you. How have you been?"
