"Oh, Severus!" The front door opened and his cousin gave him a huge hug. "It's been so long - you look wonderful! Did you get a haircut?"

"A trim, nothing more." Severus cautiously hugged back. "How have you been?"

"Well enough." She looked past his shoulder. "Is this your friend?"

"Remus Lupin." Remus smiled and held out a bouquet of flowers. "Severus said you liked these."

"Oo, how pretty!" Gemma waved at a chair. "Come in. Lunch is nearly ready."

Severus took a deep breath and followed. At least she hadn't screamed at the sight of him with a man.
