"What are you thinking? You're grinning to yourself ”, Antonius wanted to know curiously.
"To the cooking skills of our children," smiled his wife.
.“Hey, I can cook. Don't throw me in the same pot with Ms. Clumsy and Mr. Wolverine, ”Astoria snorted.
Lucius, who had sat down next to Harry in the meantime, raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“You can all cook?” He marveled.
.“Not really, as you have heard, I totally lack the talent. Skunk cooks best of all. Even the elves like it. "
“Now she's starting to do it too. .my dear, sweet Daphne, what have I ever done to you to deserve that nickname? ”Harry wanted to know plaintively.
"Nothing, but you can say what you want, Skunks are cute, just like you. Oh, and thanks for the compliments."
.since the young woman gave him an angelic smile, Harry stayed behind pouting, he couldn't scold anymore.
"You let your guests cook?" Lucius changed the subject.
.“No, we don't, but our children are sometimes given the task of taking care of the food. They wanted to show him what they can do, ”Ariel informed the aristocrat.
."Which ended with Harry taking things out of their hands at some point. Apparently he took pity on the innocent food, ”joked Antonius.
"No, I didn't, but I'm only rarely allowed to cook myself," Harry defended himself.
."Your fathers won't let you into the kitchen?" Asked Lucius.
"Yes, but not Kreacher, he looks at me so reproachfully that I always get a very guilty conscience," grumbled the green-eyed man and tugged at Beast.
.his audience grinned, they could well imagine that. No house-elf thought it was great if you did their job. Even the elves in this manor only allowed it because it was part of the upbringing of the children.

."To get back to your hairy friend. Why did you bring him with you? ”, Antonius persisted.
Lucius stroked Storm's fur and then set him down next to Beast and Oskar. Much to the delight of the three.
.“So that he has playmates. You know how my owls are, they only think about work. And the elves are busy, just like me. The little one is literally lonely with me. "
.for the young people these words made perfect sense, they thought it was very nice of Lucius that he thought about the welfare of his animal roommate. The adults, on the other hand, burst out laughing.
."What is it now?" Daphne wanted to know.
Her siblings as well as Harry and Lucius merely shrugged their shoulders.
"Do you have these seizures more often?" Asked the blonde.
At these words the laugh became even more hysterical.
.“Mum, Dad, do we need to call a healer? What's wrong with you guys? ”It came from Astoria.
“We're fine, we don't need a healer. But Lucius ’excuse was just too delicious,” Ariel chuckled.
"What are you talking about?" Lucius looked at the two of them with a snub.
."Oh come on, you took Storm with you mainly to give you free rein with Harry. Otherwise his two companions are always there. And when it was evening Hedwig would join in too ”, laughed Antonius.
.now all eyes wandered in the direction of the blond politician.
He rolled his eyes, but then gave up.
“It's really true, I want Storm to have more contact with other living beings. .even if it's usually enough for him to sit on my lap for hours. But well, your assumption is not entirely wrong either. Although I don't want to have a free run, as you said. "
."What do you have planned for today?" Interjected Ariel, who immediately understood what Lucius was talking about.
"That's none of your business."
"Luc, we are responsible for Harry," Antonius reminded the man.
.he sighed, then took a piece of parchment out of his pocket and wrote something down. He then passed the document on to his friends.
Ariel and Antonius nodded when they finished reading.
."Good idea, then we wish you a lot of fun", the plan was approved.
Lucius rose and held out his hand to Harry, who took it with a smile.

“Shall we go horse riding again?” Came the shy voice from below.
The blonde shook his head.
."No, not today, I have another idea."

To be precise, Lucius was hoping for more than "just" a few nice hours with Harry today. He wanted the young man to have more self-confidence, especially when dealing with him. .the little one was still extremely embarrassed when he looked Lucius in the eye. He also started babbling or strangling his clothes. It got really bad when the blonde gave him a kiss on the back of the hand or on the forehead. .when he kissed the boy's cheek yesterday, he went rigid with embarrassment.
Harry was most calm when he sat on the horse in front of him, then he even dared to lean against Lucius. .so the politician simply hoped that his idea would succeed.
