Michael's family was not the first that Emma had been introduced to by someone she was dating, but that hadn't made her any less nervous. She knew there was some tension between Michael and his mother with regard to the decisions Michael had made during and after the war, and that, while his mother was once a witch, she no longer lived as such, and neither did his younger brother. Emma had only a basic knowledge of Muggle living herself, and her biggest concern going into the evening was that she would bring up something undoubtedly magical in nature and remind everyone of the divide that existed in the family, so she spent a good part of the afternoon writing down things that were not based on magical or Muggle living.
But in the end, it turned out she needn't have worried so much. Michael's mum was warm and kind and understanding. William, Emma suspected, was there mostly to be amused at his brother. And all four of them had a very good dinner, never running out of things to talk about-- the food, cooking, the things Michael had liked when he was growing up, what Michael was like when he was a boy, what
William was like when he was boy, even when William might bring someone home next. Mrs. Corner had many questions for Emma, and Emma was equally curious about her. It was late when Michael and Emma left, Emma's arm hooked around Michael's as Michael carried some leftovers with him.
"She was so lovely," Emma told Michael, smiling at him. "I'm glad that hadn't gone disastrously. I hope. You don't think it did, do you?"
