Chapter 15

August 1, 1996

The morning after Harry’s birthday party that was in reality a Wiccaning and reception, Fleur had an appointment with Headmaster Flitwick who was the Charms Master that her best friend and cousin Audrey Ollivander was apprenticed to.

Fleur really was as bored as Bill presumed and the idea of tutoring a handful of Seventh Year Hogwarts students sounded interesting…

Fleur was highly skilled at a variety of magic and had top marks just as Bill was which why she was immediately accepted into the Cursebreaker program. As painful as it was to be fired by the goblins for falling pregnant, Fleur was looking forward to being a mother.

Fleur flooed into the Headmaster’s office from Shell Cottage, to her surprise the elderly wizard took her hand to help her out of the floo.

“Lady Fleur welcome.” Headmaster Flitwick said in perfect French.

Fleur’s English was still heavily accented despite being bonded to Bill and she still had trouble with some of the words so being addressed in her mother tongue helped her relax and respond in kind.

“Headmaster, I heard that you were in need of a tutor for the Seventh Years?” Fleur said as Flitwick escorted her to a comfortable chair.

“Yes for Head Girl Giselle Bulstrode, Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain Cho Davies, Duncan Inglebee, Jacob Levey, your cousin by marriage Calibom Weasley-Bones, my granddaughter Prefect Hippolyte Greengrass-Flitwick, Herbert Fleet, prefects Katerina Runcorn and Marcus Belby. I have chosen to teach the incoming Fifth Years myself, which includes your brother Colin as well as your sisters by bonding Mal and Ginny. I will only have five and four of them are quite intelligent and hard working so it shouldn’t be much work to teach them. I just don’t want them to fall behind their yearmates due to their impending parenthood…” Flitwick said thoughtfully.

Fleur nodded, “I presume that you have lessons plans for the various subjects?”

Flitwick tapped a box full of parchment and scrolls that sat on his desk. “I had all of the professors including those who teach elective studies like Ancient Runes and Numerology send me those lessons. Unless you’ve taken Alchemy,”

Fleur shook her head, “No, Alchemy wasn’t one of my classes at Beauxbatons.”

Flitwick shrugged, “That’s fine there are so few students that having the parents attending along side the non-expecting students won’t be a problem. If you have a list of your NEWT scores then I can see which classes that you’ll be overseeing.”

Fleur nodded and pulled a copy of the notice the French Ministry sent her, “Here I did quite well as you can see.”

Flitwick whistled, “And I thought Audrey had high marks, I thought it almost a shame that she wasn’t Champion but she was proud of you and not the least bit jealous.”

Fleur blushed, “She is my best friend and a cousin, we are near the same age after all. It will be nice getting to spend more time with her and I know she’s going to demand that I name her godmother, not that I mind after all.”

Flitwick removed a scroll of lesson plans, before casting a feather-light charm on the box. “Feel free to decide how you want to arrange the lessons, with so few students even with pregnancies to be considered you have a lot of leeway. I will be sure to send you the times for the classes you aren’t teaching so you can work around them.”

Fleur had never considered being a teacher before but it was only for the school year until these nine students sat their NEWT exams. Since her son Louis would be born about the same time as her prospective students children it would make sense that they would have to plan lessons around the children.

It would be interesting to see how to shield a portion of her classroom to protect the babes from spells due to Defence, charms and even Transfiguration.

Fleur curtseyed after accepting the box, “Thank you Headmaster I will be sure not to let you down.”

Flitwick waved his hand dismissively, “I spoke to Audrey and Madame Maxime about you and they both assured me that you will do quite well. Don’t worry that you aren’t a certified master in any field. I will be hiring you on as a tutor rather then a full instructor, after all you will be following lesson plans written by others and you have a familiarity with harsher exams so I don’t see how you could possibly disappoint.”

Fleur inclined her head and politely took her leave stepping into the floo to peruse the lesson plans and come to a workable schedule…

August 3, 1996

After a meeting regarding Percy’s recently ordered painted posters promoting the new Cannon Team as well as discussing the new fan club newsletter format, Gideon was surprised when Dean turned exceptionally nervous.

He frowned, “Is something wrong Dean?”

Dean swallowed, “I don’t think your adopted daughter Mal realised it but her brother is my sister Dana’s best friend and well he’s a wizard you see. He’s nervous about telling his parents because of how they treated his sister but he’s supposed to go up to Hogwarts in September.”

“My squib Uncle had another magical child?” Gideon murmured.

“He’s been staying at Deerfield with us since we moved there. With all of the contract negotiations, which included my agreement to allow Pavarti to raise our children in her faith, I didn’t have a moment to invite my best friend to my bonding. Something I very much regret…” Dean said shifting awkwardly in his chair.

“So you’re certain this Mark is a wizard?” Gideon mused.

Dean nodded, “I’ve seen the letter, it’s authentic and I let them both try using my wand. I’m suspicious that Mark and my sister will eventually be bonded but I don’t want to press the issue. My plan is to legally adopt Dana as a Dearborn heiress even if she has no Dearborn blood; I hope that her status as a Muggleborn wouldn’t be a problem were Mark to decide to ask for her.”

Gideon sniffed, “I spent how many years in Muggle Wales working as a lowly Milkman when I could have lived on my inheritance vault. I have no objection to a possible connection between our Houses in the future. I would however like to meet Mal’s brother and see if he would like to make the same choice and join our family. Unlike Ginny, I’m certain that Dennis would adore having a younger brother to fawn over.”

Of course Gideon didn’t mention his or Arthur’s pregnancies because frankly it wasn’t the boy’s business even if they might become family in the future.

Dean nodded again, “Then I’ll inform Pavarti to expect company.”

Gideon agreed and the young lord showed himself out…

Dean Dearborn, Carey’s son…

How interesting that Carey’s son would give him another son to add to his and Arthur’s growing family…

A son that would in all likelihood bond to the half-sister of Caradoc’s son…

Dennis had been named for Dean’s sire and himself, Caradoc’s son was giving them another son…

Gideon wondered if this would assuage the guilt he felt in Caradoc’s death…

XooooooX

Mal was going over magazines and interior decoration books with her sister by marriage Giselle who had decided that the Villa de Burstroda also needed to be redone to celebrate her bonding to her beloved Millie.

Greg had given Mal carte blanche to do as she liked to Lanesborough Hall and Mal was honoured…

Given that Mal hadn’t grown up rich and privileged like Greg and Giselle, having the money to do as she wished was daunting.

Mal didn’t want to overspend but she didn’t want to be too miserly and make a mess of things…

She was surprised when one of the Goyle house elves announced that her adopted papa was present.

Mal went to rise, only Gideon held up a hand, “Don’t bother getting up daughter, I think that you are far more comfortable sitting. I wanted to see what your thoughts on your brother Mark were.”

Mal flinched, “M...Mark? Why would you care about him? He’s not my brother anymore remember?”

Gideon smirked, “Would you like him to be? It’s come to my attention that you weren’t the only magical offspring that your father sired. He’s been offered a place at Hogwarts and has been staying with your schoolmate Dean Thomas, now Dearborn.”

Mal flinched, “He was there? I never saw him…”

Gideon shrugged, “I can’t explain why you didn’t notice him but apparently he’s good friends with Dean’s sister Dana. Both will be starting at Hogwarts next month, Dean wanted to know I wished to adopt Mark as I did you. I wanted to know your thoughts on the matter.”

Mal knew that her brothers and Ginny weren’t consulted before her adoption was decided and Mal wondered if they would have been uneasy or against it were they informed prior.

Mal murmured, “So Mark’s a wizard…we were never close because our bearer wouldn’t allow it. She was too worried about my devil-touched nature rubbing off on her innocent children.”

Gideon stiffened, “Don’t talk about yourself like that I won’t have it and I’m sure that Greg would be upset as well.”

Giselle smacked her hand with a spell that fell like a ruler.

Mal flinched; she’d been hit a few times…

All right more then a few times by Isabel with rulers, newspapers and even a spoon...

Giselle patted her arm, “There now you know I wouldn’t hurt you, you’re my sister and Greg would yell at me. You’re a very talented witch from an ancient line and you’re Lady Goyle, which is a higher rank in society then I am. Calm down, do you want to see your brother?”

Mal sighed, “I don’t know, I thought I left them all behind and to find out that Mark is a wizard hurts.”

Gideon scowled, “Was he ever cruel to you?”

Mal shook her head, “Was he verbally unkind? No, did he ever try to hit me too? No, did he ignore me or make messes for me to clean up? Yes, he did. He preferred to stay away as much as possible…especially in the summer.”

Gideon nodded, “I see, I’m to join Mark and the Dearborns for dinner this evening would you be interested in joining us?”

Mal swallowed, “I’ll have to think…”

Giselle poked her, “Think? She’ll go if Greg has to carry her. You’re a Goyle now and family is important so sit up and deal.”

Mal blushed, “Is this what having a sister is like?”

Giselle smirked, preening, “Older sisters are like real mothers, we know everything and we’re always right. I’ve known that Greg fancied you since you were Sorted into Slytherin. When I heard how brilliant you were it was my idea for you to tutor him, Greg has always wanted to be your rock. Let him take you to dinner and you can get to know your brother properly. I fully expect you to tell me all about it tomorrow. Now I’ve been away from Millie about as long as I can stand so I’ll be leaving now. I’ll just leave this stuff here and be back tomorrow.”

Then the blonde witch fairly pranced out of the room leaving Mal with her adopted papa.

Gideon raised an eyebrow, in an unconscious imitation of his godmother Cedrella, “So you will join us?”

Mal sighed, “It seems I have little choice…”

Gideon kissed the top of her head, “Our family is growing quite a bit, I didn’t expect another child so soon. I hope that you will look after Mark, Colin and Dennis in school. I’m sure they’d appreciate it since Fred and George have already graduated.”

Mal nodded meekly, “I can do that…what about Ron and Ginny?”

“Unlike Colin, Dennis and Mark I don’t see those two appreciating it. Colin maybe older and bonded but he is less mature in some ways.” Gideon mused.

Mal sighed, “I’ll keep an eye on them…”

Gideon patted her shoulder; “I’ll see you at dinner then.”

Once her papa left, Mal laid her face on her arms…

That was how Greg found her after he returned from going through his inheritance. He might have issues with reading but he was actually quite intelligent. Greg had no interest in business but he wanted to at least understand his estate and make choices as to the investments. He wondered if Giselle would consider business beyond Millie’s beloved bookstore and if she would, Greg would trust her with the Goyle estate above anyone else.

Greg really did want to work with dragons just as Mal wanted to be a healer specialising in magical creature attacks and poisons…

Greg hoped that they could find a healer school on the continent so he could see her more often…

Once Greg was a certified dragon keeper/medic perhaps, he could get a job at the dragon preserve in Wales…

But that would be years down the road…

While Greg had always wanted Mal and he would have done anything short of murder to have her, he would never have chosen to have a baby now. Not that he didn’t love their daughter as strongly as he did Mal, but he would have wanted Mal to be finished with school before they had children…

Greg had ordered similar nursery furniture using pictures and his sister who all but lived in Knockturn Alley these days. While Mal had insisted on using the Goyle nursery furniture she had rearranged it and demanded that the walls be painted brighter colours crème with a buttercup yellow border and a lilac rug on the highly polished wooden floor.

Greg had never felt anywhere but their nursery at Lanesborough was home and he hoped that Mal could help him find that sort of comfort and peace…

Mal was brilliant and kind enough to help him with his studies even if she was mistreated at home and at school.

Greg was pleased to see that Lord Prewett and his consort Lord Weasley’s eldest son had adopted her. Now Mal had six elder brothers who adored her just like Giselle did him…

Giselle had always loved Millie and Greg had promised long ago to ensure that she would be bonded to Millie some way or another…

Greg did insist that they visit Deerfield and join the family there for dinner so that Mal could reconnect with her brother.

One could never have too much family...

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
