Hey everyone, so here is another chapter I hope you love;) I know I don't update that often but as some of you might know life in the army isn't exactly your own and I don't get that much time for writting. I do when I have though and I hope you all enjoy, and of course let me know! It is always appreciated and gets me motivated to write more! So thanks guys.

And G I love you my silly girl. Keep it up and you might get of the couch before christmas;)


Dominique sat back in her chair and nearly fell off she was laughing so hard! Oh Merlin Minerva you are going to keep me in my place. As you should! She sipped at a glass of fine Fire Whiskey as she wrote her reply when she was done she took a few minutes to reread it.

Dear Minerva

Well I feel put right in my place. I should not try and make light of the situation before us. It is serious and as you already know very permanent on my part.

I would love having you for dinner. And as I am working from home at the moment you are welcome any time. I would like to spend as much time with you as you can spare. But please do not feel as if you have to.

You are at the moment a very welcome distraction. I do so hate politics. And yes the Chair of the Veela council can say something like that! It is after all the truth. But it is something I would not trust just anyone to take over. But then I have an inkling you know what I am talking about.

How are things at Hogwarts? Still as interesting, or has it calmed down a little?

Is it overly romantic for me to tell you that I cannot wait to see you again? If it is I beg for your forgiveness, but that is just how I feel.

Yours

Dominique

Feeling satisfied with the letter Dominique sent her owl off with it. Then sat back again and waited for the answer. Hoping it would come soon.


Lizzy held on to Diane tightly. Her mama had left them a few minutes earlier when she was sure that Diane was going to be ok. Merlin but she really was lucky to have gotten parents like she had. She could not imagine a life without them, they were always there for her and sometimes she took that for granted. Something she truly wanted to change. 'Love how are you feeling now?'

Diane nestled herself even closer to Lizzy. 'Embarrassed.' She whispered just loud enough so Lizzy could hear her.

Lizzy wished she knew what to say to make Diane feel better, but at the moment words just didn't seem to come to her. So she just held on tight and tried to convey through actions what her words didn't want to say.


Ginny sat down next to Hermione and raised an eyebrow. The atmosphere had turned very sombre and quiet. 'I missed something didn't I?'

Hermione smiled up at Ginny. Merlin she loved this woman so much. 'Harry was just telling us what he had heard about the Seville family.'

Ginny eyed everyone in the room. 'That good huh?' She asked sardonically.

'It would appear so.' Arthur nodded.

'Well then we better get busy.' Molly said matter of factly. 'No one is going to get close to those two if I have anything to do with it.'

'Mum's right. Let's get things started.' Fred seconded Molly.

'We were hoping you would say that.' Hermione smiled. 'I think it might be time to get the Order a little more active again.'

Ginny chuckled at the excited looks she saw on her siblings faces and the sighs from her parents. 'So who's in?' There was a big uproar of yeses and when's and where's. Ginny and Hermione smiled at each other. This was going exactly as they had planned. Their family was always up for a good fight.


Arielle Seville screamed her frustration. This can not be happening! That girl will not get the better of me! Will not let that little half breed besmirch the Seville name, and I will not let that bitch Minister stop me. 'No one gets the better of me! NO ONE!' She threw the letter Tanner had sent her on the couch. She could not believe he was pulling out. And then had to gall to call her insane. 'You will pay for that affront Tanner, if it's the last thing I do.' At least the weasel had informed her where to find the dirty half breed and even more interestingly her mate. 'If you want things done you have to do them yourself.' Or find someone that has even more hate for that family than yourself. With that thought Arielle set of to gather as much information about the Wesley-Granger family. She would not be bested.


Minerva sighed as she read the letter a smile just starting to appear at the edges of her mouth. Oh but Dominique Siene had her number. But I won't let her have the upper hand. I think I will for once let my fancy take flight. 'Let's see how much she likes a surprise visit!' With that said Minerva took a piece of parchment and her quill.

Dear Poppy

I am putting you in charge of Hogwarts for the rest of the evening. I have another urgent matter that needs my attention. As I wish for this to remain unknown I have turned to you.

I will further explain tomorrow morning. If you need me just send my personal owl.

With thanks

Minerva McGonagall

Minerva nodded her head and sent her owl off and then put on her cloak, stepped into her firplace grabbing some floo powder. 'Siene Manor' With a last green whoosh Minerva smiled and then was gone.


Dominique's head shot up from the papers she was reading. Her senses going crazy. A smile graced her lis and she sighed happily. Forgetting her previous anger at the documents she was reading. Arielle Seville could go to hell. 'Minerva!' Dominique got up and hurried to her Floo. When she saw Minerva her heart nearly stopped. Good Merlin she is stunning. Dominique wanted to say something, wanted to be the smooth talking Veela she was so often accused of being. But right at that second she was speechless.

Minerva turned when she heard movement. She was smiling from ear to ear until she saw the look on Dominique's face. The woman looked shocked and very pale. Minerva dropped her cloak without regard as to where it would fall and rushed over to the still staring Dominique. 'Love what's wrong? What's happened?'

Dominique started as she heard the endearment and felt the happiness explode in her chest and then spread through her whole body. She pulled Minerva into her arms and twirled them around. Laughing when Minerva all but squeaked. 'Can't you feel it?'

Minerva's first reaction was shock then Dominique's whole demeanour had her laughing as well. 'The only thing I feel is dizzy!'

Dominique sheepishly put Minerva on her feet. 'It is wonderful to see you Minerva.'

'I think I figured that out already.' Minerva said in a teasing voice.

Dominique scratched the back of her neck. 'I felt you.' She started haltingly. 'The second you stepped foot in my house I knew you were here.'

Minerva looked at Dominique a little shocked. 'But how?'

Dominique blushed, but could not wipe her smile of her face. 'It means you have accepted me.'

Minerva opened her mouth to ask how in the world Dominique figured that. Then she stopped and thought about it for a second. Of course Dominique would know, and as she thought about it a second longer she realized that yes she had accepted everything that Dominique could and would mean to her. 'Show off!'

Dominique stared for a second then threw her head back and laughed hard. She lent in close and sweetly kissed Minerva's lips. 'You're just sore that you didn't know before I did.'

'Are you calling me a sore looser?' Minerva's competitive streak just wanting to come out and play.

Dominique's eyes were bright and full of mirth as she shook her head. 'You, Minerva McGonagall? Never.' Before Minerva could say one more thing Dominique crushed their lips together hungrily. She could not believe how wonderful and absolutely liberating it felt to after all these years finally have her bond mate in her arms and know that they had a future.


Lizzy looked up at the light tap at her mama's office door. She was surprised when she saw Fleur peek her head in. 'Fleur?'

'I am sorry to disturb you.' She motioned her head to the now sleeping Diane in Lizzy's arms. 'I just wanted to make sure you two had everything?'

Lizzy smiled, this was what Family should be like. 'Could you maybe tell my mama to come help me take Diane upstairs?'

Fleur nodded. 'Lizzy if you two need someone to talk to, or if Diane does. Please know that I am here for you both.'

Lizzy blushed lightly. 'Thanks aunt Fleur.' Fleur just nodded as she went to get Ginny. 'Love you have no idea how wanted and loved you are here. I am your family.'

'Baby girl we are all her family.' Ginny had slipped in without Lizzy noticing. She crouched down next to Lizzy and Diane. 'Want me to carry her for you?'

Lizzy shook her head. 'No just help me get up. I have her.' I'll always have you love always.

Ginny nodded, she would have felt more secure if she was the one carrying Diane, but she understood. If this was Hermione, she would never let anyone else carry her. 'Well then let's get the two of you in bed.'

Lizzy bit her lip. 'I don't think I say this enough mama, but I love you and mum.'

Ginny pulled Diane and Lizzy in for a gentle hug. 'We know, and we love you too baby girl.'
