“But I could… offer shade?” he said, extending his arms out over her head to cover her head. See? Stonem men could be useful! He’s have to ask his Dad for some more help with the ladies. Somehow Dad had landed Mum or… had it been the other way around? “Cant let you get sunburned. What would your mother say to me then?”

When she mentioned sitting down once more, he finally listened and took a seat. “Stonems make good trees you know. We’re tall,” he said before looking at the portafloos. They were horrid and they were a little bit smelly. “I’d rather apparate her to avoid the smell of the loos. I like the concept of flooing but flooing into a porta-pottie?” he overemphasized the American accent that his cousins had used all summer long. “No thank you.”

“Whats new with you? Working with Ama already this summer?”
Was everything super awkward? Maybe that was just in her head? Juliette raised a perfectly done brow when he extended his arms to cover her head. It was... cute? Well, that was definitely very on brand for Pete to do something weird like that. "Pete, I have SPF on. I don't intend on getting sunburned or getting wrinkly," she said. "Besides, mum would probably blame me instead of you." Her mum adored Peter - would've probably made a trade if Auntie Em was down for it.

"Tall, but lanky," she teased, watching him take a seat. As she watched, she realized just exactly how much they had grown. They weren't 8 years old anymore, watching movies at her Aunt's house or chasing after cruppies in her home; they were now adults about to finish their last year in Hogwarts. The more she thought about how they had aged and how Peter had actually gotten rather handsome the less she listened as he spoke.

What snapped her back was the awfully used American accent which made her smile. "Don't let an American hear that accent or I'm fairly certain they'd be offended." She shrugged her shoulders slightly at the question about what was new. "Ama gave me a job at the studio, I'm an actual makeup artist now with clients." And she straightened her posture a bit at that. It truly was so rewarding doing it and nice to know that her last few summers had not gone wasted. "Just spending time with everyone this summer, y'know? Before we go back to school and deal with the dreadful exams." Juliette shuddered at the thought of taking NEWTs. "But yeah, just work and hanging out with Sterling - the usual."

"And what about yourself? What has your epic summer been like?" Juliette bit her tongue to add on 'with Rosalyn'. Because that would definitely make this whole thing awkward right?
