<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">Lily saw the brunette woman lingering near the window all right, but she wasn't anyone she was familiar with, so she didn't bother saying hi. Besides, there was something about her that just struck her as not the type of person who really wanted people to greet them. Besides, her attention was mostly on Alby since she hadn't seen him since before she snuck off to Paris for her 21st birthday -- and for the summer. In a single bouncing lope, the red head broke the distance between Albus and herself and embraced him in a huge hug. She smelled of vanilla and lemon which probably meant she had been drinking an iced tea because she absolutely <em>looooooved</em>iced tea!<br/><br/>"Don't you look handsome!" she said brightly and pinched his cheek after she pulled back from the hug to get a look at him. <br/><br/>Her attention was diverted when she heard Scorpius' quip and she quickly shot him a look completed with her tongue sticking right out at him, bright red and lovely that it was. "James sent me a message saying he was going to probably show up on day three," she said when she was finished cheesing at Scorpius. This statement was directed at him as much as it was directed at her older brother. <br/><br/>"So while I was in Paris, I got you a gift. I think you'll like it because it will help you out in the l-a-d-i-e-s department. Look!" Lily said enthusiastically as she thrust the small box into her brother's hand. It wasn't wrapped and upon glancing at it he wouldn't be surprised in the least to discover it was 1) Designer, 2) Very French, and 3) Cologne, expensive cologne. The good news for Albus, who probably would never, <em>ever</em> have to buy his own cologne in his entire life because this was what Lily almost always got him (at least ever since he was about 18), was that his sister did have decent taste and he at least would not end up smelling like a French whore. <br/><br/>"France was so lovely, Alby, I wish you could have come-but we were having fun and I know you don't like to have much fun! We went to the Moulin Rouge! And then every morning we went to these little darling cafes, and then shopping at some boutiques. And we went to the Eiffel Tower! It's immense, I daresay it's the most amazing view of Paris..." she trailed off with that same kind of wistful sigh that anyone seemed to have whenever they reminisced about a once-in-a-lifetime trip.<br/><br/>"So! Tell me what you and James have been up to?"</span>
