I
remember there has been a time when I actually managed to post new chapters on
weekends instead of someday in the middle of the week� ah well,
at least I post at all, right?

BeautifulVoice: You love the way Adrian
starts to care? Well, I think you might like the last part of this chapter�

WriterLady1031: I�m glad you liked it! I enjoyed writing the �dressing scene�. It just
seemed to be something so ordinary in the otherwise unordinary life of them.

Lily:
Thank you!

MissMalady: Thank you! I�m glad you like the story!

Julie: English? Deutsch? Ach,
machen wir�s halt auf Deutsch: Es freut mich, dass dir die Story so gut
gef�llt! Ich hoffe, ich werd dich nicht entt�uschen wenn�s zu ende geht!

And
since she wished for it, and since today is her birthday I dedicate this
chapter to Pikku_Enkeli88! Happy Birthday!

Chapter 10

The Reception

�I
still don�t understand why I shouldn�t be downstairs with Adrian.�
Angelina
said while Sophia tried different hairstyles on Angelina.

�Because
you shall have an appearance that will make this
Crowfeather-girl want the earth to open and swallow her.� Sophia smiled and
held up Angelina�s hair, then shook her head and let it fall again.

�I
hope Julia is alright.�

�Ah,
don�t worry about the little angelo. Dyson will make sure she has everything she wants.
The way he acts around her lets me hope he�ll be a father himself one day. And
it would better be in a marriage than through one of his affairs he thinks I
don�t know of.�

Angelina had to smile at this.

�Ah
this is it!� Sophia made a quick move with her wand and Angelina�s hair curled itself at the back of her head, a few strands falling over
her shoulders.

�Yes,
it looks fantastic.� Sophia exclaimed and nodded while she looked at her
granddaughter-in-law.

�I
almost wished the two of you would get a girl instead of a boy. But then no one
keeps you from getting me a whole quidditch league of great-grandchildren,
right?�

Sophia
patted Angelina�s shoulder.

�Come,
we should go now.�

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

�So,
how comes I had to find out in this
way that you�re married?� Marcus Flint asked when he stepped next to Adrian.

�What
do you mean?�

�I
am not thinking of anything bad going to happen and then, all of a sudden I�m
receiving an invitation to a reception because Adrian Pucey has recently
married Angelina Johnson. A
Gryffindor?�

�Flint,
this isn�t Hogwarts anymore.�

Marcus
sighed and shook his head.

�Right. Okay, but at least tell
me one thing.�

Adrian
raised his eyebrows and waited for Marcus to say what he wanted.

�Is
she such a wildcat in bed as we expected she�d be back in school?� Marcus asked
grinning.

�That�s
for me to know and for you to never find out!� was Adrian�s
only reply.

�Aw,
come on now!�

�Why
should he tell you if he hasn�t even told his own cousin?� Dyson asked and
slapped Marcus� shoulder as a greeting.

�Because he knows you too well?�
Marcus asked in return. Dyson rolled his eyes and was about to reply that
Marcus himself was no better than him when it came to women when his eyes fell
to the staircase.

�Adrian.�
He said and nodded in the direction of the stairs.

Adrian
looked towards where his cousin pointed and saw his grandmother standing at the
bottom of the stairs looking up at the top of the stairs. He was about to ask
Dyson what he had meant when he caught sight of a movement upstairs.

Their
eyes met and her warm, brown ones held his blue eyes captive when she walked
down the stairs. Everything around him seemed to fade away until there was no
sound but her footsteps on the steps, no light but the one in her eyes, no
colours then the green of her dress, and the gold of her necklace and the brown
of her skin and the black of her hair.

He
hadn�t really noticed that he had walked towards the stairs until she was
standing right in front of him and her hand was lying on his palm.

�You
look beautiful.� He told her and kissed her cheek before he turned back towards
their guests.

�Thank
you.� Angelina replied and they were already facing an older witch and wizard who
wanted to congratulate them and � of course to see the bride.

Half
an hour later Angelina felt as though her brain might explode any moment. She had never before
been introduced to so many people at one time. She had been introduced to every
single member of Adrian�s family. To every single aunt and uncle, cousin,
cousin-in-law, and to the girls three of his cousins already had.

All
of them had had the same smile on their face when she had met them and she
started to wish Dyson had explained
her back in Argentina whom of these cousins she should stay away from.

But
she knew one person for sure she wanted to stay away from. The person Marjory
Pucey was talking to right now: Denton Weatherfly. After meeting him this one
time she had actually hoped to never see him again.

Angelina was standing next to Adrian who was engaged in a conversation with
Dyson and Flint at the moment. She looked over Adrian�s
shoulder and saw Julia sitting on a couch with the three other girls of Adrian�s
family. Her sister looked towards her and smiled and after saying something to
the other girls she arose from her seat and made her way towards Angelina.

Then
suddenly everything seemed to happen in slow motion: Julia tried to avoid an
older woman who was taking a step back and thus fell against Denton Weatherfly
who spilled his glass of champagne over his robes.

Weatherfly
turned around furiously. Angelina didn�t even hear what he said to her sister. She only saw how Julia landed
sitting on the floor. She turned fully around and was about to run to her
little sister but before she could make one step Weatherfly was flying through
the air and lying on his back only seconds later.

He
tried to sit up again and find the source of his fall when he saw Adrian
towering over him, the little black girl on his arm, his wand pointing at his
face.

�You
better stay away from my family or you next time I won�t care how well
protected you are! And now leave my house!�

�Adrian!�
his mother tried to pull his arm away but Adrian
shook her off.

�Stay
out of this mother.� He told her calmly.

�I
said you should leave!� he said turning back to Weatherfly. The man on the
floor hurried to arose and with a last furious look at Adrian and Julia he left
the house. Marjory was looking after him, thinking whether or not she should go
after him and try to appease him.

Adrian
walked back to where Angelina was standing and let Julia down. The girl immediately ran to her sister
and hugged her around the waist while Angelina�s eyes were glued to her husband. But he already walked away again. He
went towards the stairs and walked upstairs. About the middle of the staircase
he stopped, turned around and yelled

�The
reception is over.� Before he walked on.

A
mumble rose amongst the guests at this. Sophia came up behind Angelina and put her hand on the
young woman�s elbow.

�Go
after him.� She said softly when Angelina looked at her.

�I�ll
see that the guests will leave, and I�m sure Dyson will help me. And then I�ll
bring Julia to bed.�

�Will
you read me a story?� Julia asked.

�Of course.� Sophia said
smiling and stroke over Julia�s head.

�Now
go!� she told Angelina again and shoved her gently towards the stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angelina opened the door to their bedroom silently and stepped into the room.
She saw Adrian standing at the window, looking out of it into the night.

�I�m
sorry.� He whispered and turned his head slightly.

�I
didn�t come to hear an apology from you.� Angelina replied and went to stand closer behind him.

�I
came to thank you for helping Julia.�

Adrian
turned around to face her. His eyes rested on her face but nevertheless Angelina felt as though he
wasn�t really looking at her. His hand reached out for one of the strands that
curled around her neck and he played with it between his fingers.

�I
shouldn�t have acted so fast.� He whispered as though he hadn�t heard her at
all.

�If you hadn�t I would have probably jumped at him and tried to scratch
his eyes out or something.
I wouldn�t have even thought about using a wand. It would have been a worse
scene than what did happen.�

His
eyes met hers and she found him even smiling a bit.

�You
really are a lioness, aren�t you?� Adrian
brought his free hand to her hair and pulled the single pin out of it which
held the hair magical up. The pin fell to the floor as his hand tangled in the
black mass of curls and he pulled her slowly towards him.

The
kiss that met her lips was almost chaste but she could feel that he was holding
back � as though he feared to hurt her.

�I
wanted to kill him.� He admitted as he parted his lips from hers.

�You
didn�t.� was all she said before he captured her lips again. She was right, he
hadn�t killed him. But Adrian knew he would have, had it been Angelina Weatherfly had touched he wouldn�t be alive anymore. But he thought
this to be one of the things that were better left unsaid. And so he simply
pulled her towards the bed and continued to kiss her while he took the dress
off of her.
