Chapter 10
Kingsley Joins the Family
~*~
Minister Luicus Malfoy sat his desk listening to Head Auror, Harry Potter tell him of Ronald Weasely attacking his wife, Luna Weasely. He stared at their marriage license along with charges of Drunk in Public, Bar Fights and Flying While Intoxicated.
"Has he's been sent to Azkaban?" asked the Minister.
"Yes sir. I saw Mrs. Weasely myself. She lives with my family. So I was able to arrest him on the spot. He was drunk once more, sir." Harry told him grateful that he worked well with Minister Malfoy. He knew it was mainly from Ginny being married to Draco.
A form magically appeared on Lucius's desk over the Marriage License. He picked up and sat back in his chair. And it read:
Magical Divorcement of Abuse
Due to the current events that have unfolded between Mr. Ronald Weasely and Mrs. Luna Weasely the marriage will be now and void. Since the year of 1815 when husband's abused their wives led to some deaths. So the marriage is now terminated.
Alan Rickman
Minister of Magic
Date signed 29 of June 1815
Minister turned the page and found a bill of divorcement. The couple's named already magically signed. Lucius sat back with a sigh. He looked up at Harry and said, "If this information is leaked out many will hit their wives just to get out of a marriage."
Harry sat back and a smile crossed his face. "They will make a Wizard's Oath that the information will not be repeated. We will call them in soon as possible to make the oath. How does that sound to you sir."
"Mmmm….yes that will work . Thank you for taking action so quickly. You may-" Lucius was interrupted when a death notice appeared on his desk. "What has happened now?" He picked it up and sat back.
Death Notice:
Name: Theresa Shacklebolt
Date of Birth: December 23, 1965
Death: November 17, 2002
Cause of Death: Mugging/Murder
Spouse: Kingsley Shacklebolt
"Like I didn't have anything else on my plate." Lucius mumbled. He sat back in thought. "Maybe I should place Mr. Shacklebolt with Mrs. Weasely Well, Miss Lovegood." He looked at Harry. He nodded in agreement. "Very well those notices will be sent out soon. I want Mr. Weasely's trial swiftly done. It will take place-"
"Friday." Harry said finishing his sentence. Luicus nodded in agreement. "I'll take my leave sir," and he rose from his chair.
"Just contact my secretary. Ginny has taken up the post. I had to firer my last one. I found her stealing from the pay cash." he told him. Harry nodded and left the office.
~*~
Luna and Ron made the Wizard's Oath that the Magical Divorce was to remain unknown to the general public. Luna was to marry Kingsley soon as the trial of Ron Weasely was over. She nodded in agreement.
The trial was taken to the Wizarding Court on Friday. The evidence was too strongly against him that he had no choice but to be sentence to Azkaban. It was 6 years for his counts of Drunk Display and 5 years for the abuse of Luna Lovegood with a total of 11 years in Azkaban. The Potter and Lupin family and Luna was pleased with out come of the terms. Mrs. Weasely protested at her son's trial proclaiming he was framed. This caused the Lupin, Potter and Malfoy family to roll their eyes at the woman.
Two days later Luna and Kingsley signed their Marriage License. Luna was now, Mrs. Luna Shacklebolt. Harry had asked Kingsley to move into Grimmauld Place since they now saw Luna as family and couldn't bare to move from the house. Kingsley protested at first but, gave in once his new wife gave him puppy dog eyes. He couldn't help but give into their offer. They warned him of the two mood swinging witches that would be in the house. Kingsley only smiled and nodded his head. He could handle the mood swinging women but Remus warned him ahead of time just like he did with Harry.

Kingsley sat down at the table with Remus with a cup of coffee. He found it fascinating that the family lived in a divertive home that contain both muggle and magical. He didn't know that Remus was a half-blooded wizard.
"In five. Four. Three. Two. One." Remus counted and Kingsley looked at the werewolf strangely.
"Damn step." They heard Harry curse. He walked into the kitchen. "Hey I've only had-"
"One cup of coffee. I'm not awake yet." Remus said mocking him with a laugh.
Harry smirked and threw a chocolate muffin at the werewolf. Remus went to catch it when Hermione caught it just before her husband could. She raised a brow and crossed her arms at the auror. Harry swallowed hard at his best friend.
"That's right. You should be scared. Very, very scared Potter. Fix your coffee and get out of here before I hex you." Hermione hissed. Harry quickly fixed his coffee and left the house. They heard him swear at the step when he left.
Hermione fixed a cup of tea and joined the men at the table her anger now vanished. Kingsley smirked at the witch and took a long sip of his coffee. The three heard Dora call from the stairs that she was off to work. They heard the front door open and swore at the step just before it close.
Luna walked into the kitchen and gave her husband a shy smile. "Morning." she said in a dreamy tone.
"Morning Luna." he said with smile.
Remus grabbed his briefcase and helped Hermione from her seat. He took her hand and they said their goodbyes. They left Grimmauld Place leaving Luna and Kingsley the house to themselves.
The couple stared at each other in uncomfortable and shy silence. Luna broke the silence and asked, "Do have family?"
Kingsley smiled. "My mother, Anna and father, Sean live in Paris France. They moved there after I graduated from my Auror Training when I turned twenty."
He went on to tell her that her mother was a Potions Mistress and worked in Research Department. His father worked for the Paris Auror Department. He visited them when ever he had the chance. Luna smiled and nodded her head.
Kingsley smiled asked, "I leave for Paris next week. I have to go to a function for the Auror Department. It's formal function." Luna smiled at his ramblings. "We can visit my parents as well."
"Kingsley take a deep breath." Luna told him. He nodded and took a deep in take of air. "I'd love to go." She stood up kiss his forehead. "I'm off to work." she left the house.
"Oh Merlin I have date." he mumbled and left for work.
