Guess who's coming to dinner?
Characters: Bill, Fleur, Tonks, and Charlie
Setting: Shell Cottage, Sunday evening
Summary: Dinner, drinks, chat, and fun.
Rating: PG. Maybe a little cursing.

(Apologies for not getting this scene up sooner, guys! It's been a CRAZY week).

Bill was absolutely thrilled that Tonks and Charlie were coming to visit. Since their start at Hogwarts, he'd seen little of either of them and was happy for the chance to forget bigger troubles and just have a good dinner with friends. Charlie, though obviously his brother, had been his childhood best friend and Bill still felt closest to him of all his siblings. They were relatively close in age, so much so that Bill had considered Charlie his twin as a kid until the real twins came along. As for Tonks, though he'd been in school around the same time as her, he'd only come to know her more during his work for the Order. He thought she was incredibly funny and engaging, and he liked Remus very much as well. The pair were his favorite to sit alongside at Order meetings.

And so, with a case of beer and two bottles of wine in hand, he entered Shell Cottage from the windswept yard and ducked into the kitchen, calling out to Fleur.

"Where are you? They'll be here soon! What can I do to help?"

All week, Fleur had been very much looking forward to the prospect of guests. It would be wonderful to see friends, especially as she hadn't seen Charlie since the wedding, and Tonks since the holidays. Tonight, she hoped, would afford an opprotunity to catch up with them and strengthen ties.

Aside from that, a large part of Fleur was eager to show off her home. She took a lot of pride in Shell Cottage and what she and Bill had done with it. Much of Sunday had been spent tidying up and adding a few extra touches here and there. After getting dinner started in the kitchen, Fleur had decided to take a half hour for a quick bath. She had just finished dressing when she heard Bill's voice.

Fleur exited the bathroom, making a note to use a quick drying charm on her hair before anyone arrived.

"Right here," she said as she rounded the corner into the kitchen, smiling at Bill's eagerness to be of assistance. Taking the wine bottles from him, she set them on the counter and took a look at how things were coming along. "Hm. I think, for now, all that is left to do is set the table. The meal is still cooking but I do not think they will wish to eat right away. Perhaps we should put some glasses and some lighter things to eat out in the living room?"

	"Agreed," Bill said cheerfully, flicking his wand and sending some glasses floating out to the coffee table before setting about preparing silverware for the table. A sharp knock on the door interrupted his placement of the last fork and he looked up with a grin. "They're here!" he announced, wiping his hands on his trousers and heading for the front door.
