The two old people had already had house-elves prepare guest rooms for them. Albert and Isobel were sharing a room; before coming to France, he had secretly mentioned this to the Flamels. After taking their luggage out of the Undetectable Extension Pouch and putting it away, they returned to the living room to drink tea and chat with Nicolas and Perenelle.
At first, Isobel was a bit reserved and didn't say much, sitting quietly by Albert's side as she listened to him chat casually with the Flamels about recent events at Hogwarts. The conversation was gradually steered toward the Dark Lord in order to bring up the prophecy Nicolas had mentioned last time.
Having lived so long, Nicolas guessed Albert's intention right away, but he didn't mind and went along with the topic, soon bringing up the Second Wizarding War a few years down the line.
