ooc: LOOOLLL!! Oh but it's so funny to make the poor innocent charries uncomfortable! !!

About twenty more minutes had passed before Vince, Victor, and Mrs. Vincenzi walked down the stairs and entered the scene. Mr. Vincenzi had spared his oldest son this day and let him stay home to help his mother get the house ready for Mrs. Montgomery's arrival. Mrs. Vincenzi was giving the boys instructions in strict Italian before calling her little house-elf over and the two of them disapparated from the foyer, off to town to buy some things to prepare for Mrs. Montgomery's arrival.

Vince and Victor watched them go before parting ways; Vince into the kitchen to get some food, and Victor to the living room to scold Ned for not being in bed. "What're you doing up this early, Hall?" was his morning greeting to the boy, most unwelcoming and rather harsh. "I didn't go through all that trouble with Perry just so you could come and drop dead in my own home." He paused for a moment, his brows furrowing. "Did you take the potion I made you? You're supposed to have a glass of it every morning, I hope you haven't forgotten."
