Chapter 21: He's Related to Who?
Delaney decided to go chew out Max for doing this to Susan a few days later.
"What do you want?" He asked tersely.
"You know exactly what I want!" Delaney said storming in the house.
"I didn't invite you in!"
"How dare you abuse Susan!"
"She deserved it!"
Delaney glared at the man and said. "Nobody deserves that!
He didn't respond he just grabbed her wrist. Sadly this was the wrist she had her blood quill scars from fifth year so she winced in pain.
"Am I making the baby cry?"
Delaney used her elbow and hit him in the nose. The next thing she knew a wandless stunning spell hit her. Max smirked evilly and called the aurors.
"What's the disturbance?" The auror team leader asked.
"This girl just came here randomly and started yelling at me and was about to attack me but I stunned her."
They walked in.
"Alice; isn't this your son Neville's best friend and girlfriend Delaney?" The auror team leader asked Alice.
Alice looked over at the familIar girl. She couldn't help but rush over to Delaney, this girl is her son's best friend and beloved girlfriend. Delaney's practically her daughter in law.
"Alice?" Delaney muttered.
"You're going to be fine, sweetie."
Delaney closed her eyes. Now the task of telling Neville.
They took Delaney to St. Mungos.
"What happened Allie?" Frank asked his wife when she walked back intol the office.
Alice looked up at her husband of twenty three years and said, "Delaney's hurt."
"What happened?"
"She went over this other guys house he said she just started yelling at him randomly."
Frank looked confused "We both know that Delaney wouldn't go over someone's house and randomly yell at them. She only has a temper when someone messes with someone she cares about or when someone makes her really upset."
"Yeah, I know. The last time I saw that temper was when Neville's ex tricked her into going into work just so Neville could be alone."
Frank nodded.
"I'm going to over to Neville's shop."
"Alright, Allie."
Alice kissed her husband's cheek and left.
Neville's been having a good day but that was all about to change. The little bell went off above the door as Alice rushed in.
"Mum?" Neville asked.
"Sweetie," She said breathlessly.
"What's wrong?"
"Delaney's hurt."
Neville didn't respond he just removed his apron and they left. The mother and son reached St. Mungos.
"Susan what happened?" Neville asked rushing to his friend.
"Delaney was hit by a stunning spell."
"Who stunned her?"
"You know how Delaney is she'll hex someone into oblivion if they mess with someone she cares about. It turns out that she went over Max's house and yelled at him for abusing me. He grabbed her right wrist and if you remember that's where she has the scars from the blood quill in fifth year. She elbowed him in the nose and he sent a wandless stunning spell at her." Susan recited.
"Is she awake?" Neville asked.
Susan nodded and Neville rushed to her room.
"Hey Nev," Delaney greeted.
"I'm so glad you're okay, love," Neville said taking her hand.
Delaney smiled at him. Neville kissed the small bump on her temple as Alice walked in.
"Hey sweetie." Alice greeted sweetly.
Delaney smiled at her boyfriend's mum and said. "Hi Alice"
"We're so glad you're okay," She said reiterated her son's statement.
"Thanks Alice."
The auror team leader walked in to Delaney's room to question her. They would've had Alice or Frank do it but it would've been a conflict of interest since they were both practically her in-laws.
"Where did you get those scars on your wrist?" He asked referring to the scars on her right wrist
"They were from our fifth year when we had the toad Umbridge for our D. A teacher for most of the year."
The auror team leader nodded and asked. "Did you say Umbridge?"
"Yes."
"Well, this Max Henson. He's the step nephew of the deceased Dolores Umbridge."
"Why does he have a different last name?" Neville asked.
"That's quite complicated, his gran and his father left her and her father when she was younger and they never saw them again. She remarried Alfred Henson."
Neville and Delaney nodded.
"We'll need you in court once you're released, Ms. Romero."
Delaney nodded and asked."What about Susan Bones, one of my best friends she was dating him. And he abused her."
"Yes, she'll testify too."
Delaney nodded.
Delaney was released about two days later since she was treated for a slight concussion. They had a small welcome home party at the Weasleys when it comes to the Weasleys nothing is small. Delaney was sitting next to Neville at the table. There was a clink on a water glass. It was Hermione.
"I'm really glad you're better, Delaney. Though it was only a slight concussion," She smiled at Delaney.
"Thanks, Mione."
"Would you like to tell them our news, Hermione?" Harry grinned his hand on her stomach.
"I'm two months pregnant," Hermione smiled.
"Congratulations."
"Thanks, would you two like to be godparents?" Hermione asked Delaney and Neville.
"I'd be honored."
"Maybe under our influence this child won't be such a trouble maker," Neville smirked at his god brother.
"We can only hope," Hermione laughed at her husband.
It was now later that night Delaney was sitting on Neville's lap while Neville was playing with her hair.
"Is something on your mind, Nev?" Delaney asked her boyfriend of almost seven months.
"I know we've only been together for seven months, I'm not trying to rush you," Neville rambled, nervously.
"You want to talk about marriage don't you?" Delaney asked.
She knew Neville too well. Neville nodded.
"I'm sure this is brought up because of Hermione's announcement tonight?" Delaney asked caressing Neville's cheek softly.
"You can say that but I've been thinking of it since you were in the hospital," Neville answered.
Delaney nodded and said. "Okay, I know you're not trying to rush me you would never do that."
"Yes, I wouldn't. You're practically my wife in everything but name, anyway," He smirked.
Delaney giggled and kissed her boyfriend. He gladly kissed her back. Delaney started running her fingers through Neville's blond hair causing him to moan against her lips as he gingerly took her off his lap and laid her down on the couch. He kissed down her neck causing her to moan multiple times. They just continued snogging passionately.
"I love you so much, Laney," Neville said as he pulled away from his girlfriend after the intense snogging session.
"I love you too, Nev," Delaney said, snuggling up to Neville.
