**Maddie’s POV**

I slowly allow myself to wake up without opening my eyes.

“Mummy?”

I open my eyes and see Alithea standing at the side of her cot.

“Good morning,” I smile, getting out of bed and lifting her up. I walk downstairs, just as the bell peels out through the house. I answer the door as Dad runs around, stunning the portraits.

“AH!” Angelina and Alicia scream and throw their arms around me.

“You’re here early,” I say, looking at the clock. It’s only seven.

“We never got to have a hen’s night,” Alicia says, “so, we’re going to pamper you all day!”

“Oh,” I say, feeling rather stunned.

“Hello Mr Black,” Angelina says to Dad who looks astonished at being addressed like this.

“Uh, I have to dress-”

“We’ve organised for Professor Lupin to babysit her,” Alicia interrupts.

“How will she get-”

“I’ll take her,” Dad offers, “the idea of being in a house full of excited girls…”

He shudders and holds his arms out for Alithea.

“We’ll be back in time to get ready for the ceremony,” he says. They disappear in a sharp crack and Angelina and Alicia grin.

“Alright, breakfast,” Alicia says, dragging me down to the kitchen, “lots of fruit and yoghurt.”

After breakfast Angelina runs a hot bubble bath while Alicia mixes up a facial mask out of avocado, lemon juice, yoghurt and strawberries.

“As soon as you’re safely covered with bubbles, tell us,” Angelina says, as she and Alicia turn to face the wall.

“Is it necessary to have you in the room while I bathe?” I ask awkwardly.

“Just get in.”

Blushing, I quickly strip off and climb into the bath, making sure the bubbles cover me completely.

“Okay,” I say, checking the bubbles again. Angelina grabs a jug and wets my hair while Alicia spreads the facial mask over my face and neck.

“Close your eyes,” Alicia says.

“Are you going to put cucumber on my eyes?” I ask, laughing.

“No, that does nothing,” Alicia says scornfully, “I’m putting potato on them. It bleaches the dark circles under the eyes.”

I close my eyes and feel her put something cold underneath my eyes.

“Will I smell like potato?” I joke, “AH!”

I jump as Alicia grabs my foot from under the bubbles.

“Don’t worry, we can’t see anything,” she says. I feel her start scrubbing it with something rough.

“Ouch,” I mutter.

“Just relax,” Angelina says, massaging shampoo into my hair. It’s hard to be tense when someone’s rubbing your head.
