"Then, when you consider that the first House Elf we meet is so viciously abused by the Malfoys, you can understand why we have such a poor impression of their situation."
"Not to mention poor Winky at the Quidditch Cup..." Hermione says sadly.
"Well, there's the problem," Daphne says. "Very few House Elves are treated as poorly as that. Stori and I each have our own, and they've been like sisters for as long as I can remember."
"Dilly is more fun than Aggy, though," Astoria says with a grin.
"House Elves often adopt the personalities of their owners," Daphne says with a glare, "which is why Dilly is a bit ditzy."
"Now, children, is that proper behavior in front of the future Lord Potter?" Daphne's father asks in a stern voice.
"My apologies, father, Lord Potter," Daphne says meekly.
Harry looks horrified. "Please, none of that, Daphne. Last I checked I don't have that title yet...as if your Head of House needs any more reason to think I'm some pampered prince that makes his friends address him formally."
"You'll have to learn sooner or later, Harry," Daphne points out.
"Maybe," he mutters, eyes on his food.
Lord and Lady Greengrass each raise an eyebrow at that but say nothing. I'm glad they don't, since I doubt Harry wants to go into the whole prophecy thing at the moment.
Instead, Lady Greengrass deftly switches topics to the second Task and what has happened since, which brings about a game where we each try to embarrass the others when we talk about training.
"You should have seen Daphne try to Stun me again when all I did was flash a light in her direction," I say with a grin.
The elder daughter does not find this amusing. "You did not just 'flash a light.'"
"Again?" Lady Greengrass asks at the same time.
I laugh. "Oh, didn't she mention how she hit me with a Stunner from behind after I asked Astoria to be my date?"
Her mother gasps at that. "Daphne!"
"It was his fault! He...he...hugged me!" She turns red as she realizes how that sounds now.
Her father's eyebrows jump into his hairline while everybody besides Daphne laughs with varying degrees of mirth. Hermione forces it a bit, since she was none too happy with Daphne about that, but Astoria is howling.
"I can't believe I forgot about that! He said...when Luna revived him he said, 'c'mon Daph, you could have at least used a Cushioning Charm.'" She resumes laughing hysterically.
An incredulous breath breaks through Daphne's indignation; she apparently hadn't heard that.
"It took a while, but she's once again starting to appreciate the value of a good hug now, I'm proud to say." I grin since I know that would earn me a smack if we weren't in the presence of her parents.
As it is she glares at me a bit, but her mother cuts in before she can say anything. "I dare-say you're right, Mr. Lerner...I don't think she even noticed that she gave me a hug when she got here, even though she hasn't done that for two years."
"Mother..." Daphne whines, face burning.
I smile mischievously. "Now all we need to do is look at her outrageously adorable baby pictures and her utter humiliation will be complete!"
"I'll get th—" Astoria begins, but Daphne quickly clamps a hand over her sister's mouth and holds her in her seat.
"You are so lucky my parents are here, Lerner," she says with the coldest ice-blue glare I've ever seen.
I am so going to pay for this, but I laugh anyway. It doesn't help that the rest of the Greengrass family appears to be stifling laughter as well. "Our next training session shall be most enjoyable, wouldn't you say, Harry?"
Harry snorts. "Says you, Neville and I are the ones who usually have to roll you over, fix your nose, and force Blood Replenishing Potion down your throat."
"Does that happen often?" Daphne's mother asks, slightly concerned.
"Just to William," Hermione says, smirking at me.
"That's right, our Hermione here Stunned me four times and broke my nose the first weekend of school," I say, patting her on the shoulder firmly as she flushes with embarrassment.
"Wow, that's much worse than what Daph did to you!" Astoria says with wide eyes. "What, did you try to kiss her or something?"
It's not surprising that they initially misinterpret my raucous laughter and Hermione's deep blush. "I said much the same thing, Stori, but I didn't even get a hug out of it."
"We were training," Hermione says, obviously suppressing the urge to call me names and/or whack me on the arm.
Daphne notices that, too. "Oh, please do feel free to give him a solid smack or two in our favorite place, Hermione," she says sweetly.
"You know that only encourages him," Harry says as I pout and rub my arm.
"Maybe, but I think we enjoy it more," Hermione says with a sniff. Daphne nods firmly in agreement.

"If I knew you were all going to study the whole time, I would have stayed at school," Astoria whines, throwing a glare at us over folded arms from the entrance into the main Greengrass library.
Hermione is sitting cross-legged with piles of books around her as large as she is, while Daph and Harry are actually leaning up against the side of the same stack, looking at something in one of the books from her pile.
I'm pacing back and forth, trying to read with one hand and twirl my wand with the other. Her interruption makes me drop it.
"I did warn you," Daphne says in a flat voice, not even looking up.
"Well I didn't think you were this serious," Astoria pouts.
Unlike her sister, Harry does look up, and from my angle I can see him frown slightly. "Sorry, Stori, why don't you suggest something?" he offers.
