The next morning, she made a later start than usual, once again waking from a deep, nightmare-free sleep, but thankfully Tippy’s scones were a relatively easy recipe that didn’t involve hours of waiting like bread or pastry. She was able to enjoy one with her end-of-lunch tea, and when Malfoy wandered into the conservatory to collect a few ingredients, she offered him one as well. They lingered together over the crumbs, chatting amicably together as Malfoy appreciatively eyed the simple long-sleeved dress she’d chosen for the day.
