Chapter 11
Lavender and Pansy were escorted by house elf to go shopping for their babies.Vince had agreed to meet them in Paris and treat them to lunch but he had a few errands to run.
Pansy hadn't been keen on the idea but she had a craving for escargot and Vince could afford to take them to her favourite French restaurant in Paris.
Pansy would buy nothing less for her children then Charlene's and Vince had given her a promissory note that allowed her to charge his personal Crabbe vault. While her betrothed had turned from podgy to muscular the previous summer, he still didn't have the brains or prospects to rival Draco.
Pansy was still infuriated that her father had been in favour of the bonding, her mother Azalea had died during childbirth and had failed to give him a son. Her pregnancy was only forgiven because she was bringing heirs to both the Parkinson and the Crabbe lines because she was carrying male twins.
Lavender knew this because her cousin had befriended her; they had never been close growing up because her own father resented Lord Parkinson for how he'd treated her Aunt Azalea.
Pansy and Lavender were very interested in fashion, though they deplored the other's choice in Bonded, they were becoming like sisters after a fashion.
While Lavender was glad for Pavarti getting her dream boy Dean, the bonding plans didn't seem to be including her…
As Pavarti's best friend that was painful…
At least they'd promised to be godmother to one another's child…
"Done brooding cousin mine?" Pansy drawled.
"I wish…"
"That our Bondeds could come with us? You know as well as I do that neither would have any clue what to get. Much less how much a baby needs."
Lavender flinched, "You're right, I'm sorry."
Pansy snickered, "I wonder if Vince will request that our apartments are Hogwarts are close."
Lavender sighed, "While I wouldn't mind I had hoped…"
"To be close to Pavarti," Pansy snorted, "I know that Vince is glad I have a female friend since I've spent so much time about Draco, Vince, Greg and Blaise. Millie never had time for me, she was always attached to Giselle and Tracey was always with Daphne. I didn't really meet Elaine until Hogwarts and she's more bookish then I."
"Well we're flooing to Charlene's for the babies and then we'll be heading to Celestine's for ourselves. After all, we'll need clothes that will be flattering even though we'll be pregnant." Lavender swallowed.
Pansy snapped her fingers.
Immediately Brown house elves Sage and Kelly appeared.
Lavender gave them a forced smile, "Take us to Charlene's and stay close."
"Yes Missy Lavender!" the elves bowed.
Each elf took the robe sleeve of their assigned mistress and they took them to the requested destination.
Lavender's father had given her a certificate for Charlene's and she already had an account at Celestine's. Normally, she went shopping with Pavarti, not that Pansy wasn't interesting company, but it was nice to have a cousin.
They were delivered to the front stoop of Charlene's Baby Emporium in the Rue de Leon.
Lavender adored Paris it was one of the biggest hubs for fashion.
The two cousins browsed the displays of the nursery furniture sets with the eye of a connoisseur.
While they had never purchased such things before, they both had an eye for quality it was a gift.
After all they had redone their own rooms a few times due to boredom and well it wasn't as if their fathers really cared.
Lavender was expecting a girl the same as both Pavarti and Padma, while Pansy was expecting twin boys.
XoooooX
Vince's errands included finally signing the bonding contract between himself and Lord Brown.
Unlike Greg who had a handful of Lords who were willing to help him, Vince had to prove his sincerity before Lord Brown would even consider his offer even though there were heirs involved.
There was also the matter of his daughter Lavender's pregnancy and the refusal of the sire to bond to her.
Vince might not be the quickest wand in a duel or the fastest broom in the shed but he did know that Lord Brown's own child would come before his ward. Especially when Lavender was farther along then his Pansy.
Unlike his cousin Greg who had random proofs of his intelligence, Vince was not as smart as he was. Vince knew that Pansy was far more intelligent then he was and he was sure his lack was due to his Goyle blood but he actually liked his mother Graine and had allowed her to stay at his family seat to raise his younger sister Isolde.
Once they had signed the bonding contract finally, Vince spoke, "Lord Brown, it may have been forward of me but I have an appointment with the Headmaster to arrange for private apartments for Pansy and myself. In your sombre judgment would it be wise for her to continue as a prefect or in light of her pregnancy should we request that another be appointed in her place?"
"It would be wise of her to resign, since it would be stressful enough balancing motherhood and NEWT courses her sixth year. It might be wise to recommend someone unbonded?" Lord Brown grumbled.
"I believe that Daphne is still single and has higher marks then Pansy, she would likely prove a fine prefect." Vince offered.
"Very well I will accompany you to this meeting, Ron ought to accompany us as well."
They then flooed back to Lord Brown's home to fetch Ron before flooing to the Headmaster's office.
Ron scowled, when he tumbled through only to find what Vince suspected was a sibling. "Charlie."
"Ron."
"Checking on me?" Ron snarled.
Charlie shook his head, "I was meeting with my old Charms professor to discuss my lesson plans. I'm taking over Hagrid's classes."
Ron gaped, "No!"
Filius Flitwick frowned, "Now Mr. Weasley-Brown hiring is between me and the Board of Governors. Mr. Weasley is highly knowledgeable in regards to his subject and Hagrid has decided to transfer to Beauxbatons."
"Then I'm dropping Magical Creatures." Ron scowled.
Lord Brown sniffed, "One of the few classes you actually did well in and you're dropping it?"
"I don't want to be taught by the likes of him."
Charlie flinched, "I have no idea what you could possibly find distasteful about me."
"Maybe that you whore yourself to a professional Quidditch star?"
Vince glared, "What is the problem if he is bonded to a wizard? It is his business not ours."
"Keep out of this Crabbe!" Ron snapped
"We're here on other business and I'm sure that your brother had more important matters to deal with rather then bandy words with you." Lord Brown glowered.
"I wanted to discuss where my prospective apartments with Pansy might be." Vince said politely, "After all, it would be unkind of us to insist on returning to the dormitories when Pansy will be giving birth in a few months."
Headmaster Filius tapped a roll of parchment, "Where would you like them to be?"
"Pansy has dropped Potions," Lord Brown shrugged, "So anywhere other then the dungeon since those steps would be eliminated from her path. It will be more difficult I suspect for her to manoeuvre the closer to birth she gets."
Headmaster Filius nodded, "The professors have been discussing that. There is talk about separating the students so that the NEWT students who are expecting or are currently parenting are taught together and an elf run nursery could be nearby. I have taken to hiring more teachers so that it will be easier for the teachers. I have given my younger students fourth and younger to two teachers, both of them are my apprentices Audrey Ollivander who shall teach the younger years and while the other Penelope Clearwater will be taking the Third and Fourth years. Remus will be taking over the elder students. Charlie is teaching an elective so he can easily handle those responsibilities."
"I have no objection as long as both sets of students are given the same amount of work." Lord Brown shrugged.
Headmaster Filius nodded, "Of course, the only difference that the parents will have slightly more leeway when it comes to homework."
Ron got a conniving sort of look on his face, "Really? What kind of leeway?"
"Leeway that I very much doubt would be applied to you young man. I don't see you as the feeding, burping, nappy changing and bathing sort of parent." The Headmaster shook his head.
Ron snorted, "Isn't that what house elves are for?"
Lord Brown scowled, "If you believe that Lavender will be that sort of mother then you need to think again."
"I am not going to share a room with a bawling infant." Ron grumbled.
"It is expected that bonded couples live together and share parental responsibilities so that their education doesn't suffer." Filius chided.
"I didn't ask for this." Ron said with crossed arms, "I was forced into it. Dad never helped mum with the babies."
Filius snorted, "I doubt she would have allowed it. I am sure that Arcturus would have done so gladly if he'd had the opportunity."
"You mean with that creep Gideon…" Ron spat.
"Gideon Prewett and Arcturus Weasley were in love before they ever set foot in Hogwarts. They were devastated when they were Sorted into different Houses but they insisted on staying friends. Severus Snape and Lily Evans reminded me of them only without the romance, yet the strength of their friendship was sorely tested. I am glad they are finally together, if anyone deserved happiness its them."
"You're only saying that because they are both technically on the Board of Governors." Ron sneered.
Filius snorted, "That's like saying I make sure my granddaughters get to be Prefects or Head Girls when they aren't even in my House."
"You're old like Dumbledore, aren't you a great-grandfather?" Ron snickered.
Filius glared, "I'm younger then Dumbledore by like twenty years!
Ron sneered, "Really? Could have fooled me."
"You are a fool to speak to the Headmaster so." Lord Brown said sternly, "I disagree with your dropping that class and as your legal guardian until you turn twenty-five, I will insist you continue the class. Whether you choose to fail it or not is up to you."
Ron sputtered, he hadn't known…
"I didn't understand until this moment why that was a clause in your bonding contract. You will treat the Headmaster with respect as well as the rest of your professors." Lord Brown snapped.
Vince attempted to change the subject, "Now I think that if it were permissible that Lavender and Pansy as well as Patil sisters have apartments near one another."
"What does Crabbe not want to be near his friends?" Ron taunted.
Vince frowned, "I want Pansy to be comfortable and to have witch friends near if she needs them. I can find Greg if I need to. I want her to be comfortable and if needed she can take a class off if she feels unwell. I'm willing to pay to obtain good notes for us both to study from. If I sat through the class I can help decipher notes, I might not be the best student but I will try harder…I know I have to do better. I don't want my sons to be ashamed of me…"
Ron sneered, "As if they couldn't be…"
"It's nearly August, both Pansy and Lavender are due to deliver about mid-to-late September. They should move straight into their apartments so they have time to arrange their nurseries to suit their taste." Lord Brown said smoothly as if Ron hadn't spoke up.
Headmaster Flitwick laid out a rough likely not exact floor plan of the castle, "I think it would be wise to put your apartments on the Fifth floor, there is more space there I believe. I've tried to balance the apartments as best I can…"
Lord Brown bowed, "With the number of pregnancies and empty dormitories I am sure that you have."
"Adding privacy charms so babies crying don't disturb passers-by has also been a task." Headmaster Filius shrugged.
"What about privacy charms on the nursery so that they don't disturb anyone?" Ron retorted.
Headmaster Filius frowned, "We will expect that parents arrange for childcare personally. We would prefer if they shared the responsibility equally."
Ron snorted, "Absolutely not, I didn't want to be a father or a bonded at this age. I certainly don't plan on dancing attendance on a squalling infant."
"Even if Lavender is unwell?" Vince scowled.
"Of course not, she has a house elf after all and what business of it is yours?"
Vince sighed, "Pansy and I have yet to discuss how intimately involved she wants to be with our sons' care. I would of course support her decision."
Filius rose and clapped him on the shoulder, "Good for you, I hope my granddaughters' future bonded are as wise."
Ron spat, "Wise? Crabbe?"
"You were the worst marks the last few years Mr. Brown-Weasley, you have no right to cast stones." Headmaster Filius chided. "Making you a prefect was a mistake."
Lord Brown grabbed Ron's shoulder in painful grip, "Thank you Headmaster, I know that Lavender and Pansy went shopping for baby things today. If it is no trouble perhaps they can floo to the castle and be taken to their apartments to arrange the nurseries?"
Vince bowed, "If the Headmaster would have me shown where they are, then I would gladly help them both."
Lord Brown nodded, "If Ronald refuses to assist then he can return to Wren Grove."
The Headmaster snapped his fingers and an elf appeared, "Please escort Lord Crabbe to these apartments." He scribbled on a scrap of parchment and then handed it to the elf. "Far be it from me to tell an expecting witch that she can't arrange her nursery when and where she sees fit. Especially a Parkinson, they've always had the tendency to speak their mind much like a Black. I was once blessed to call such a witch my bonded."
Vince was surprised, "If she was anything like Pansy, you are a far stronger wizard then you appear to be.
The elf nodded and Vince followed it down the moving staircase.
XoooooX
Michael flooed into the Headmaster's office before returning to Whiz-Hard Publishing, "Professor Flitwick."
"Ah Michael how is bonded life treating you? Come sit down."
"I am a fool…" Michael groaned. "I'm stuck with a mad bonded, she's convinced that she's meant to be Harry Potter's consort and she wants to be rid both of myself and our daughter. She plans to return to the Tower and leave me with the baby as soon as it's born."
"That means that you would be the baby's primary caregiver then, have you given any thought as to how you plan to balance fatherhood and your position as prefect?" his old Head of House asked.
"I haven't told father yet but I'm resolved to giving up my badge. Stephan is tied with me for marks, it's probably nepotism but I think he deserves it, I know he's shy but he just needs to get out from beneath my shadow."
"That is incredible selfless Michael, I am proud of you. You know if you ever need anything my door is still always open." Filius praised.
Micheal planned to have a daybed placed in the nursery so Ginny could sleep in the apartment's bedroom until the birth…
"I came to ask where I might spend the last two years I have at Hogwarts? I won't leave Mishel to mother so I can't stay in the dorms. Might I have an apartment?"
Filius nodded, "I have an open apartment on the Fourth floor. Your neighbours would be your in-laws Mal and Greg Goyle, Seamus and Colin O'Shanesey as well as Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom. Is that suitable?"
Michael shrugged, "I have no objections…"
"Good man, then I'll give you a portkey to your new rooms so you can arrange them to your liking."
"Thank you Professor." Michael bowed.
"You're quite welcome and I'm proud you, you're maturing quite well and I look forward to meeting your daughter."
Michael accepted the portkey and was whisked away.
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
