WHO: Ernie MacMillan & Neville Longbottom
WHAT: Happy New Year!
WHEN: Ernie & Neville are ringing in some good times.
WHERE: Ernie's house.

Ernie's last experience involving a significant other visiting his house had been that previous summer---it had been horridly humiliating, what, with his sisters and parents giggling and asking crazy questions. However, having a boy set his nerves on edge even more than when Melinda visited. His family acted supportive, but it was a new thing for them all. However, Ernie planned the evening carefully. He asked Nev to arrive after his sisters' left on their dates. With that obstacle out of his way, he only had his parents left.

Jean and Ernest MacMillan didn't treat Neville any differently than they usually did though Jean did hug him a little longer than normal and Ernest couldn't help making a joke about treating his boy well. All in all, they were no more embarrassing than usual which Ernie felt grateful about.

"I am lucky," he told his boyfriend. "Brilliant family AND boy."
