Jadon turned and smiled at Ophelia, hugging her, but he was ever careful of her hair and her dress robes. He knew how she hated to look rumpled. "Hi, Fee. I missed you, doll. I was just asking Allaire about school."
He shook his head and looked at the both of them. "Oh, and how did I forget? Nathalia sends her love."

Ophelia beamed at him. "School is school. Same old stuff, really. There's the tournament, but you know how I don't really care for sports. But we are having a ball soon. I'm just waiting for someone to ask me.... I'll just *die* if I don't get a date! Cause I can't go without one, and I *have* to go! I have the most perfect dress robes picked out from the Wizard Wear catalogue! And I know just what to do with my hair!"

Finally Kassia came back to join them and could hear her sister before she even saw her. She smiled patiently and resisted the urge to roll her eyes about her getting a date. Actually if Kassia was lucky neither of her sisters would want to take Jadon...wanting their own dates as it were, and Jadon would be free that night to take her. He could then keep an eye on all the girls and she wouldn't have to worry about people asking her, she could just go with her brother.
"Dinner smells wonderful I think Mum and Papa will be down soon."

Ben was furious as he had waited more than long enough after the house elf had sent out his summons. Standing up from his chair at the head of the dining table, he headed to his first destination. Entering the den where his children were talking with each other, he coughed quite loudly to interrupt their little fun. "Jadon get ready for dinner, girls get into that dining room...now!" Turning around without waiting for a reply he went upstairs to find his wife. Approaching the huge double doors to the master bedroom, he opened the door and saw his beautiful Emma right away.
"Darling, I would love to be able to enjoy the pleasure of your company at the dining table." With a smile and feigning his best bow, he held out his hand to his lovely wife.

Emma had been slipping her dress over her head when the door opened and her husband was standing there smiling as he bowed to her. She chuckled softly and turned away from him, lifting her hair off her back. "Can you zip me love?" She'd waited until she heard him coming up the stairs before she'd put on the dress.. but that was only because she knew he would get impatient when the house elf didn't work.

"And that's my cue," Jadon said, unable to tell Fee that he knew she would beautiful and that there was probably a line of boys waiting for her to return to school, unable to get any more answers from Allaire. He smiled at the three of them. "Go appease Dad, and I'll see the three of you in a few minutes, all right?" He said, getting to his feet and kissing each of their heads before he went off to get dressed.

No one had told her that dinner was ready or was being served! She would have been at the table, she had even gone to check the food and the table to make sure it was perfect for her father. But she wasn't about to argue, instead she nodded curtsied quickly for her father before ushering her sisters to get to the dining room while smiling indulgently towards Jadon.
Sometimes their father was adorably unpredictable but Kassia hated to disappoint him and as soon as she was in the dining room had one of the house elves pour her father his favorite drink and have everything ready for him by the time he came back down.

Beaming at his wife, he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You know darling, I swear every year we are married you become more beautiful....I did not know it was possible." Chuckling he lightly placed a kiss on her neck, before slowly moving his hands behind her and zipped her dress up. Holding out his arm he stared deeply into her eyes. "Will you do me the honor of allowing me to escort you to dinner?"

She lowered her hair back down, goosebumps already spreading across her back from his kiss. "I would love for you to escort me, sweetheart. I thought you would never come up here and ask." She smiled at him knowingly, and kissed him softly before taking his hand. "The children are all ready for dinner I hope?"

Ophelia pouted slightly when their father ordered them all to the dinner table. She wanted to keep talking with Jay. But she'd get to talk to him more later, she knew. "Of course, Daddy," she replied dutifully, and she bounced into the dining room as she was told. Taking her usual seat, she sat down and waited patiently for the others to arrive.

Allaire nodded to her father and smiled at Jay before he went up the stairs to change. She wanted to talk to him a little more as well, but she would step back and let her other two sisters to have a chance. She walked past her father, smiling at him kindly. She entered the dining room just after Ophelia and took her seat next to her sister.

Kassia still hadn't sat down, she went into the kitchen to check again over the dinner to make sure it would be served promptly then finally went to join her sisters and sat down in her seat waiting for her brother and parents. She was happy to be home, and happy to be around all of them expecially her parents and Jay.
Not that she didn't love her sisters but she saw them all the time as opposed to her brother whom she saw sparingly as well as her parents.

Jadon took the stairs two at a time after his father had gone up to get their mother. He wasn't in huge rush because he knew that Kassia was right... they would forgive him for being a little late. Still, he was a boy and it was easy for him to get ready quickly.
He opened his closet and looked for a nice set of dress robes. Half of his clothes were at Nathalia's apartment, which was somewhere in New York. Whenever she was in town, she stayed with her mother, like Jadon stayed with his parents. Both sort of wandered.
At the back, he found a nice, black set and threw them on quickly over his muggle clothes. He was almost ready to head downstairs.

"Jadon arrived a bit late, so he is getting ready. Our three precious daughters are all ready and quite beautiful...just like their mother." Smiling he grasped his wife's hand as they began to walk out of the room and down the stairs into the dining room. Smiling at his three beautiful daughters as he saw them sitting properly at the table. "You know I used to remember three darling young ladies that loved to give their parents a hug before dinner..."

"Of course Papa." Kassia laughed, smiling then. Before the mood was a little tense as they were waiting for their father, but he was always in a better mood when their mother was around. She gracefully slid out of her chair and approached him wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his cheek, "I'm Happy to be home papa." she said closing her eyes and breathing the familiar scent that was their father. He was the epitome of everything that was safe and warm and good in her life and she loved him nearly to a fault.
She lingered for a moment missing him more and more that she was away at school, then moved to her mother whom she dipped into a proper curtsy before putting her arms around her mothers small waist, " Happy to be home mum." she said softly. Where her father was everything that was warm, her mother was everything that was grace. A daughter couldn't have a better role model or mother for that matter. She was everything that Kassia wanted to be when she was older and a wife and mother herself.

Allaire turned around in her seat to peer at her father. Another smile appeared on her face and she stood from her chair. She approached him after Kassia hugged him and wrapped her arms around her father's neck. "Good evening daddy," she said pulling away from him. After her father, Allaire wrapped her arms around her mother. "Evening mum." A smile was still on her face before she stepped back and allowed her other sister come in and get a hug. "I'm happy to be home too."

Ophelia was last. She followed her sisters over and waited until they had both hugged their parents and stepped aside for her. "I love you, Daddy," she said sweetly, hugging him lightly so as not to crush her dress or ruin her hair. Then she hugged her mother as well. "It's so nice to be home... I've missed you so much, and school has been so dull."

Kassia returned to her seat quietly watching her sisters hug their parents and inwardly sighed a bit wistfully she didn't mind school in fact she liked learning and she was quiet skilled in most of her classes, but she wanted to be home, she wanted to be with family, there was nothing really at school that kept her interest. She didn't have the same need for boys that Ophelia did, or for popularity and friendship which were other reasons people found school interesting. She simply had nothing keeping her there.
She almost felt as if she was gliding through life that she had some purpose but hadn't figured it out yet and everything else seemed quite inconsequential.

Ben watched as his little angels got up out of their seats and they all walked up to give him and Emma a hug. Visually inspecting his three daughters he noted that each was a perfect lady in her own right. As they went to sit down he kissed Emma's hand gently before pulling out her chair and sitting down after she had. Staring out over the table, he looked towards the stairs momentarily for any sign of Jadon, seeing none he looked back to his little angels. "I just want you girls to know, that there has never been a father more proud of his daughters than I am of you three..."
Pausing for a moment he looked over at Emma and flashed her a wink. "So tell me little darlings, how is school?"

Beaming with pride at her father's words Kassia sat up a little straighter and tried not to look pleased with herself, she was always pleased however when their father said things like that.
When he asked about school Kassia turned to her elder sister expecting her to talk first, though her eye strayed to Allie encouraging her to speak up as well. Kassia herself didn't have anything of any importance to speak about, well important to her.
