Chapter 6

How much good Fabian’s interference had done was debatable…

Within days the news of the Granger-Weasley divorce trial was front-page news.

Tante Hermione had snagged the best solicitor in Britain, Sancus Malfoy.

The Weasley Matriarch was livid and had immediately given an interview about how terrible a mother that Ms. Granger was. How she had never taken Oncle Ron’s name and that she’d always dumped her children off at The Burrow because of work. As if Ron’s work as an Auror hadn’t been enough. How Hermione was too busy to do her duty as a bonded or a mother, how she had hired a housekeeper of all things. And promising to file for custody of her grandchildren…

Domi snorted as she crumpled the offending document in her fist.

The first court appearance had been scheduled and Domi was going to make this scandal into a pity fest rather then some horrible disaster.

She reached into her pocket for the ring she had ordered for Rose, it had practically emptied her vault but it was worth it.

It was 24 karat rose gold with a floral design that had pink diamond accents with a pink pearl in a white velvet box lined with pale pink silk.

Domi strode across the Great Hall and knelt before Rose, who had turned at her approach.

Rose frowned, “Domi?”

Domi grinned at her, “Contrary to some persons mistaken impressions, I have not been paying attention to Rose out of pity or because we’re cousins. In fact it is a pity that we are such close kin.”

Rose flinched.

Domi held out the ring box, being sure that everyone nearby could see it. “Because Rose is my mate and in front of all of you I humbly ask her to consider being my Bondmate.”

Rose swallowed nervously, “Are you sure?”

“More sure then I’ve been of anything ma mie.” Domi said stubbornly.

Rose was bright red when she spoke again, “I’d like nothing more.”

Then the Great Hall burst into a cacophony of derision, congratulations, whinging of jealous persons.

“Quiet!” roared the familiar voice of their cousin Teddy who was Head Boy.

Immediately the sound level dropped.

“I think that they make an excellent couple and that Domi’s claim is a serious one.” Teddy said sternly. “If you don’t agree with their choice then keep it to yourself.”

“You would say that, you’re also buggering a cousin.” Gryffindor Sixth Year Angus McLaggen sneered.

“I have always cared for Scorpius as anyone in my family will attest to.” Teddy said coolly. “I was pursued by two Veela but the genuine one stole my heart. Being cousins has nothing to do with it; blood ties don’t influence mateship. Something you would know if you picked up a book McLaggen.”

“I’m surprised someone like Potter would accept a relationship like yours.” McLaggen retorted.

Teddy shrugged, “That shows how well you know anything. My relationship with Scorpius isn’t the issue here.”

“It’s the reason you’re countenancing this relationship.” McLaggen grumbled.

“I see nothing wrong with their relationship, I’ve grown up with them and they are as close as Teddy and I.” Scorpius interjected. “Are you protesting because you have a crush on Domi? I’ve observed that most of your year treats Rose as a non-entity so I doubt you’re protesting on her behalf.”

 

“What is the point of a proposal timed thus?” McLaggen snickered.

“That McLaggen is none of your business.” Domi said dangerously.

“Come on pretty lady let me show you what you’re missing out on by settling for the brainiac.” McLaggen drawled.

Domi proceeded to abuse him verbally in French, calling every insult she knew down on his head. Her sister Vickie and her mate Rose turning increasing shades of red.

While Scorpius laughed out loud at the verbal barrage.

“What is she saying?” McLaggen frowned.

“That she wouldn’t be attracted to you even if you took a gender switching potion.” Scorpius snickered, “That you are the ugliest wizard to ever proposition her and she’d love to send her father after you. That not even the size of your vault could tempt her and that your mother had to be a fool to bond to your father. It’s rather comically, your father pursued Aunt Hermione but you’re trying to steal Rosie’s girl. Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of McLaggen.”

“You little blonde slut!” McLaggen snarled.

Teddy stepped between Scorpius and McLaggen with a growl; “Touch Scor and I will tear your arm off at the shoulder.”

“Headmistress Lupin’s threatening me.” McLaggen whinged.

“I think you should leave McLaggen.” Andromeda said dangerously appearing as usual out of nowhere.

“But Professor…” McLaggen protested.

“Go before I give you detention!” Andromeda snapped. “You were going to assault Prefect Malfoy, Teddy was perfectly in his rights to give you a warning. If I had been Teddy I would have attacked without warning so consider yourself lucky.”

McLaggen slipped away with his figurative tail between his legs.

“Congratulations Mademoiselle Delacour, I think you have made a wise choice in mate.” Andromeda smirked, “I do hope that Prefect Granger-Weasley has the where-with-all to temper your Slytherin temperament if needed.”

Domi grinned at the Head of Slytherin House, “She will if needed…”

Rose relaxed a little at the reception her acceptance at gotten from the family present…

XoooooX

Domi had done a bit more then just proposing to Rose, she’d owled Tante Carys who was bonded to Tante Gabrielle.

They had an appointment while Rose had prefect rounds in the library with Vicki.

Tante Carys hugged her when they met outside Hogwarts’ front doors. “Domi!”

“Tante Carys.” Domi said brightly.

“Gabrielle and Fleur have been rather perturbed with Ron and Molly since the news that Ron was cheating came out. The interview that Molly gave hasn’t helped their displeasure.” Carys confided.

“You wouldn’t represent Oncle Ron would you?”

“No, though I did tell Hermione that Sancus Malfoy was her best choice and that Ron would never approach him due to his name.” Carys shrugged tossing her red-gold braid, “She knows that I’m associated with the Department of Magical Children anyway.”

Domi smirked, “That is why I asked you to come. I want you to petition the Council of Magical Law to appoint you as a guardian ad litem to represent Rose and Ray. I don’t want them to used as pawns by either parent.”

“Are you sure that is what they want?” Carys frowned.

“Rose wants to live with me, I think it would be her best interest to argue for emancipation in her case. As for Ray he’s terrified of Oncle Ron for reasons we don’t know. Given how much Tante Hermione works, I think he needs a stable home with guardians he can rely on. I think you should talk to mon mere and pere to see if they would be willing to take guardianship of Ray.”

“Molly will be arguing that she be given custody of both of them…” Carys frowned.

“Then it’s your job to see that their wishes are heard and that their parents don’t run trample their wishes like a marauding Hippogriff.” Domi snorted.

“I’ll talk to Fleur and Bill I promise. At the very least I will argue that they be appointed a guardian to argue for them. It is possible that they will be placed in Fleur’s custody anyway.”

“I think that you should do as your conscience dictates.” Domi said craftily.

“I’ll owl you after I talk to them and file a motion on their behalf.” Carys promised.

They hugged once more before Domi waved goodbye to her aunt.

Molly had made a huge miscalculation attacking Aunt Hermione and public stating her willingness to seek guardianship of Rose and Ray…
