TL;DR: Forget everything you know about canon except the characters. Below is a longer explanation.
This is a mess. It's a Voldemort Wins!AU mixed with an Android!AU and Space!AU. Basically after Harry was killed, all the survivors went into hiding, built spaceships, and went into space, pursued by the enemy. Parvati and Lavender never met.
"It's amazing how fast the world can go from bad to total shit storm," Parvati mused, fingers tapping away at the main computer's keyboard. "One second, we were fighting a war on Earth, and the next we're fighting one in the air, with lasers instead of wands."
"You're not wrong," her twin sister Padma admitted, leaning against the side wall. "I feel safer here though…at least I have a place to hide."
"But if our ship is blown up, you're going to fall into nothingness," Parvati pointed out. "Doesn't that scare you?"
"If our ship is blown up, chances are that we have nothing else to live for," Padma said. "I would rather die."
"...I suppose," Parvati conceded. Padma's cat, Elvis, twined itself around Parvati's legs and purred contentedly. Both girls wished they could feel that way.
"Where's Elliot?" Padma asked, referring to Parvati's dog. Both the cat and the dog had been rescued when they had snuck onto the Death Eaters' ship and found how mistreated they'd been. Padma had taken an instant liking to the cat, while Parvati preferred the dog, so it had worked out perfectly.
But Parvati wasn't certainly thinking about that when Elvis unwrapped himself from her legs, leapt onto the broad keyboard, and ran across.
"Elvis no!" Parvati shouted, grabbing the cat, but it was too late — a string of unintelligible green-lettered words had been sent out into the unknown, perhaps to an enemy ship.
"Bad cat!"
On another ship, just a few hundred miles away, another ship picked up the message. Lavender's eyes scanned the mess of letters, her android brain automatically decoding the string.
"Dean!" she called without taking her eyes off the page. "I think you need to see this."
"A-A marriage proposal?" Parvati squeaked, staring flabbergasted at the foreign people on her ship. Apparently Padma's cat had accidentally propositioned another person on another ship — or rather, an android on another ship.
"I don't understand," she said, her eyes darting between the girl android with the pretty dirty blonde hair and the dark-skinned boy with eyes the color of coal. "You're saying that random string of letters that was accidentally sent was actually a code for a marriage proposal?"
"Yes, it was," the girl said patiently, her eyes fixed on Padma's. "A proposal of marriage to me, specifically."
"You?"
"Yes, me, the captain of the ship."
"O-Oh." Parvati pursed his lips and rounded on Padma. "This is all your fault!"
"Didn't we go over this already?" Padma snapped. "It was an accident, it wasn't anyone's fault. Can you be nice for two minutes?" She shot her a we have guests look.
Parvati glared at her sister. "I don't think that's possible."
Padma let out a sigh. "Thanks for telling us," she said, addressing their guests. "We'll discuss your proposal and give you an answer by the end of this rotation."
"That will not be an issue." The pretty girl smiled at Parvati and her stomach swooped. "You know what my answer is. I am willing to court you, at the least." She winked.
Maybe, maybe marrying the girl wouldn't be so bad...but she was android. Humans couldn't marry androids — right?
But Parvati felt like some rules were meant to be broken. Maybe she could marry this girl (after courting her, of course).
Padma smirked as if she knew what Parvati was thinking.
Oh, dear sister…
