Oh Yeah, I don't own Harry Potter but I most definitely own this plot and Ursula along with the rest of the Вук family (including the name) REVIEW please!
As the group reached the suite trepidation seeped in about what they would be seeing. Would it be a woman dying before properly meeting the daughter she gave birth to just hours before, would it be a cold woman who only wanted to see her child to acknowledge her existence before she left to do as she pleased? Or would it be a mother wanting to see the miracle she helped bring into this changing world?
They all hope it was the latter though Bellatrix would admit only to herself and her husband that a very small part of her wanted the woman gone so she may be the sole mother figure in the beautiful baby girl's life.
Opening the door, to a room decorated much like the rest of the house with the exception to personal items mixed in with the comfortable antique furniture and the large four poster mahogany bed, they all held their breath without realizing it. For a moment they just stood there until Rabastan made the first move and headed toward the bed slowly as to not wake his sleeping daughter. He still couldn't fully understand that the precious bundle, swaddled in blankets done in colors to represent the Lestrange and others in black, a deep rich gold, and midnight blue to represent the Вук families, is his daughter.
"Bring her closer please Rab, I wish to hold my daughter." Ursula spoke, her normally rich smooth, alto voice sounding rough and haggard from the screaming, crying and stress during the birth. She held her daughter and cooed and Rabastan sat beside her and her in laws took to chairs near the bed. "She is absolutely beautiful. It seems two miracles have been bestowed tonight. My daughter born healthy, beautiful and, powerful being the first and most important I should say. The second is that I survived the labor. I could never part from her happily and willingly. You don't suppose we could get away with keeping her back from school and never out of our sight do you Rabastan? What am I saying, if she ends up with my appetite for books, your natural smarts and our tempers we'll want to ship her off to Hogwarts?" Ursula giggled and the other three adults in shock to a few seconds to join her with their own respective laughs.
"Yes I imagine there will be times where she will be hard to handle. It will be hard to judge which house she will be placed in. If how brave your hormones made you in some of your threats and actions is an indication she may be to forthright for Slytherin. From watching her though I dare say she will be mostly well behaved if we can keep her from certain…influences, Bella, I mean dear." They all broke into laughter and kept laughing when Bellatrix's pout was noticed.
"I won't be the one to worry about dear brother in law. It was my cousin whom was always in trouble for mischief. I believe him and his four mates called themselves The Marauders or something of the sort. He loves ickle babes, should I tell him you will be interested in his services for childcare?" She cackled at the worrisome looks on the new parents faces.
"If I remember correctly he was quite popular with the ladies, was he not?" Both Bellatrix and Rodolphus nodded. "Ursula, maybe keeping her back from Hogwarts is a good idea. We don't want any males tainting our little girl with their wandering eyes." Rabastan turned to face Rodolphus when her heard him snort.
"I don't think it's the eyes you need to worry about tainting her brother." He told him before he had to stop and laugh at the horror stricken look on his brother's well defined face.
"You are right Rabastan, what about Beubuxton's? It's an all-girl school, or we could even send her to one of those muggle convents where the women live and work not having relations with men outside of worshipping, prayer and teaching; nothing romantic and physical about it." Ursula told him laughing at the hopeful look on her husband's face and wondering not for the first time since her pregnancy what her problem is and why hasn't she given him a real chance.
"I really see now issue in keeping her from all boys except those too old or closely related for anything to happen between them." The seriousness in his voice and expression gave everyone a pause until he laughed. It was interrupted by a fussy whine turned into a cry of hunger from Hermione.
"Rodolphus, Bellatrix, why don't you two go and contact those who need to know what is going on and set up meetings while Ursula and I talk while she feed Hermione?" They both left without a word towards the door, just nodded in agreement, while Ursula looked confused and tired.
"Bellatrix, come and speak with me later please. I have something's to discuss with you I think you might like." Bellatrix looked over her shoulder as she followed her husband out of the room and nodded her consent.
"We have heard of some plans that make us worry for our safety. We merely want to plan so if we need to go to ground so to speak we can do so easily." He explained without prompt and she was shown by a medi-witch how to nurse. He went on to explain all that was talked about while she was being healed after the medical staff all left. He let her know her choice to be able to leave and be with her family while also leaning of Rabastan's hope for them as a family.
"I would be happy to stay here as long as we could spend the holidays with my family in Serbia when able. Maybe spend some summers there so Hermione can learn more on depth about part of my culture. I would also like to make it to Germany."
"I see no reason why we wouldn't do any of that except if safety ever becomes an issue. Now what is it you wanted to speak to Bella about?" Rabastan asked slightly distracted as his wife's ample breasts were revealed when she switched sides to continue feeding Hermione. It was only slightly as seeing his daughter nursing acted as a douse of cold water to his thoughts.
"I've been doing research in an area that concerns her, during my pregnancy, and have made some discoveries I think might interest her. I was able to create a spell and tweak another that should be helpful to her and maybe other. I won't tell you what though because she deserves to know first. I owe her from the hell I've put her and you all through. My apology gift to her is more urgent and needs to be presented soon to be of any use. With the way you are watching me I might have to change plans for you gift but, you'll have to wait six weeks for the new one." She winked and earned a smug smirk in return.
"Rabastan, Ursula they are all here. I took the liberty to invite your family too Ursula." Rodolphus stated after a brief knock. He took their startled looks to be acknowledgement of what he told them and left back for the main living room. He didn't want to stay and risk ruining and mending of a relationship between the younger couple.
Everyone who was thought to be needed and could be trusted was gathered in the main living room of Lestrange Manor. Rodolphus being head of the hosting family started the meeting.
"We have gathered disturbing news over the last few months and we all need to work together to fight against the coming trouble. I understand a lot of us don't trust each other and I believe that comes from people hearing distorted truths and in some cases outright lies about the other side. My brother and sister in law are a newly made Papa and Mama, respectively, as of last night with the birth of Hermione Aradia Artio Вук Lestrange, my niece. As I look around I see a couple others are going to be made parents or Uncles and Aunts soon, so surely you can understand how what we have most recently found out has confirmed everything else we have learned and are about to share with you." With that the meeting of the most unusual allies began. Or should they have been allies from the beginning?
