Andi hadn't quite known what to do when Regulus had pointed out Draco in the art gallery earlier, and ultimately decided that it would be safest to not force a meeting. She would have loved to meet her nephew at long last, but she had no idea as to his ideas about her. She wasn't sure she could handle his animosity if that turned out to be the case. Perhaps at some point she would send him an owl, establish contact formally, but for now she was content to stay away from him and peruse the artwork she neither could afford nor understand.
As the time for dinner drew near, Andi had entered into the dining room in search of her place card. She hoped that if she were near someone she knew, she would have enough time to switch the cards if necessary- a trick of House Black. As she made her way over to the last table she needed to check, she noticed with a sinking feeling that two of her dinner companions were already there, her nephew and his date.
She tightened her grip on Regulus' arm and pasted on a smile. "Well, it looks like someone has a sense of humour."
