This is for Kote-of-Myth's 100 Paring Challenge - Next Generation in Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges forum. Please review and tell me what you think.
The characters of the Harry Potter universe belong to Ms. Rowlings, and I'm borrowing them for my own imagination.
Lorcan/Dominique
September 2025
"You're what?" A shocked Bill Weasley asked his youngest daughter.
They all sat in the kitchen of Shell Cottage Bill, Fleur, Dominique Weasley and Rolf, Luna and Lorcan Scamander. Lorcan looked at the faces of all gathered there and not surprisingly, his mum was the only one that didn't look a bit distressed at Lorcan and Dominique's sudden announcement.
"We eloped." Dominique repeated.
"Vous vous êtes enfuis. Molly va penser je suis une mauvaise mère." Fleur said tears streaming down her face. "Je ne peux pas croire que nous n'avons pas fini vous voir vous marier." (You eloped. Molly is going to think I am a poor mother. I cannot believe that we did not get to see you getting married.)
"Mère, Grandpa and Grandmum Weasley eloped, and look at how long they have been happily married." Dominique reasoned.
"What about your job in Egypt?" Bill asked Dominique. He had been so proud when she had accepted the position of a Gringott's curse-breaker upon graduating from Hogwarts four years ago.
"I'm transferring to Egypt as well. We will leave for Egypt in a couple weeks." Lorcan said.
"This is so wonderful. Ron and Ginny told me all about their visit to Egypt. I will love coming to visit you both there." Luna gushsed. Her faith in her son and his choices present and shining proudly in her eyes.
"Thanks, Mum." Lorcan said smiling gratefully at her.
"How do you know that you are ready to be married?" Bill asked.
"I am the same age as Mère was when you married her. Anyway, I know because Lorcan has seen me at my absolute worst, and loved me anyway." Dominique said.
Her father nodded then smiled lovingly at his wife of twenty-eight years. Dominique knew that her father now approved.
"Mère, I know you were looking forward to planning another like Victoire's wedding, but this is what I wanted. It was simple and romantic, and I loved it. I'm sure that you and Mrs. Scamander can pull off a wonderful reception before we have to leave for Egypt, Mère." Dominique practically pleaded for her mother to understand.
"You can call me Luna or Mum, whichever you prefer, Dominique." Luna said. "Fleur, come we have a lot of planning to do. We should host the reception in your garden. It is so beautiful. And we must have pudding. Lorcan loves pudding as much as I do." Luna got up and taking Fleur's arm, started to pull her out to the garden.
"Come, everyone. Out to zee garden to plan zee reception." Fleur said Bill and Rolf obediently following. "Zere is some much to do and so little time."
"When are we going to tell them you're pregnant?" Lorcan asked leaning over to kiss his wife's cheek.
"After we are safely in Egypt." Dominique said.
"You're brilliant. No wonder I love you." Lorcan said as hand in hand they went to join their parents in the garden.
