I was right this late week was almost more than I could take. On top of my school work and my family account business. I had Sirius and Remus to deal with. Writing with Andy keeping in touch with her. She was over the age limit and pleased she wasn't having to deal with the new law. She also has been owling Narcissi. Narcissi owl me this week letting me know what was going on. She already had to pick made and was didn't need my help.
We did met on Sunday and deal with everything. Her pick was a French man who she's been in love with for years. He went to school with her and Lucius. He already owled her and they agreed to court. I was pleased she would be happy. I also told her I would be courting Draco and she gave her blessing.
She still lived in Malfoy manor with Lucius blessing, but was welcome in all of the Black's houses if she asked. Draco and Andy were given the same blessing. Andy right away set out to help me look over and clean up all the Black houses. She also took Sirius, Remus and Teddy under her mothering wing. The minty agreed with Sirius and Remus bonding and Teddy as their first child. We found out that you had 10 years to have your second child.
Auther also wrote to everyone and told everyone he and Molly were no longer. He was back living in Wesley manor. He was also happy and hinted at a good things to come. Molly sent a letter to everyone trying to turn us away from Aurther. It didn't work. She was alone and would have to deal with it.
I also talked with Bloodthrown and got everything I wanted to send as a courting gift made or found. I also had him working on more gifts that I was planning on sending. I also worked on my letter to each person. It took the right wording. Neville helped me with the flowers.
Hermione chose a few people to think about. Blaine being one of them. I found out that I didn't have any more family then with the Black family. I was relived. I let out a breath and refilled my cup of coffee. This morning I sent all my courting gifts out and they would be sent to the right people. I hope I didn't come into any problems.
Leo would be getting a Lion pendent that would protect him from danger. It also would port key him away from danger. His letter and flowers showed him what I wanted and how I felt. Draco was getting the same letter and flowers. I sent him goblin made dragon ring. It would sleep on his finger like a ring. But once it woke up it would climb around his finger, hand and arm and fly.
Fred I sent a Griffin necklace with his name on the back. It would shield him if something went wrong while he was working. George got a Griffin bracelet that would do the same. There letters and flowers were much the same. But I explained why I picked them for which title. Not that I loved them any different from the other. I help they understood.
Theodor Nott I sent a letter and flower with the same meaning of the rest and explained why I chose him. As the gift I sent him a bracelet that was charmed to change animals with his moods. He could also finish the charm and another animal would be added to it and chance to my moods. He picked the animals to the moods.
Severus got the same letter and flowers but I explained myself more to him. I didn't want him to think I was picking him because I owned him something. I wanted him to know I had feelings for him. So my gift was in two parts. The first was a mood orb, it would always show him my feelings towards him. My second gift was a Peverll protection pendent. It would protect his mind, body and soul. I hoped he liked it and accepted.
Lastly I sent Lucius almost the same letter as Severus just in many different words. Each on was the same and different. Lucius gift was a ring from the La Fay family vault. It was godly like Draco told me Lucius would like. But it was charmed to tell you how someone was feeling. It was made to prove to the family if courters were there for real or for business. Now all I have to do is wait and see.
Right after this law was past I talked to Kingsley and he agreed to keep my name on the list but only for those who I chose. I didn't want to be drawn in letters. So I wasn't expecting any and I was pleased. I was tired and wished I could go back to sleep but I was worried. Hermione sat down in front of me and gave me a small smile.
"It will be over soon Ray." I nodded and took another drink of my coffee.
"I know I suck at waiting." She nodded and already knew that. It didn't take long for everyone to make their way in the great hall and start eating. The paper finely came along with some letters for me from hex. I looked throw the letters and put them in my bag. Then skim the paper.
"Oh look the boy who lived twice made the front cover." I rolled my eyes to Hermione. I moved onto the finance and read throw everything.
"Ray." I looked up and saw Hermione pointing behind herself. I looked around and saw the Eagle owls land in front of Draco and Leo. Luna explained to Leo what it was. Draco smirked and put his in his bag to deal with later. I was relived to notice Severus wasn't at breakfast. When I looked back I noticed Hermione was speechless. In front of her was a beautiful set of flowers and a red and gold box with a letter on the top.
I noticed Blain was watching her. She finely came back to herself and her face light up. So did her eyes. This last week I got her, her family ring. It gave her all the family magic information. Her magic also changed.
"Mione bank." She closed her eyes and banked her magic. But she was still smirking. She put her courting gift away. I nodded to Blaine and he let out a breath.
"Nev did you get a courting gift?" I asked when I sat down.
"It was waiting for me when I got back from my shower." He told me as he sat down. Then showed me his new bracelet. In the middle there was a mirror with a seed in it. "It will grow with our love and family." He told me.
"Ron has some good points to him." Hermione told him and kissed his check. Ron came in and kissed his check and sat down. "You did well Ron. I'm proud of you." Ron's smile grow and was pleased with himself.
"Did your stud send anything?" Ron asked her. She smirked.
"Moring Gin," I said when Ginny sat down next to me. I fixed her a plate as she filled her glass with tea and filled my cup with coffee. "How has your morning been." I asked her.
"I've get more than enough love notes. I know I never should have said I was in the middle." She huffed. "Really people I'm a lady and a pure blood. Court me and wow me. Or don't bother me." She hugged again.
"So nothing from your crush?" I asked her. She didn't answer me. I looked over to where Luna was and she smirked and winked at me. She pulled her wand out from behind her ear and flicked it. Just like that in front of Ginny was a set of glass colorful flowers that each had a meaning. A box with lion wrapping paper. And a letter folded in the shape of a dove.
"And that's Luna." Neville said. Tears were in Ginny's eyes and a soft smile on her face. She put everything in her bag.
"Alright everyone to class." Hermione said when it was time. I kissed Ginny on the head and got up. I put my bag on and followed Hermione out and down to the potion lab. Neville and Ron followed behind us. Everyone gathered in front of the potion lab waiting for Severus to open the doors.
"Finely." Hermione breathed and walked into the class when the doors opened. Everyone took their seats and got out there home work. I finished getting everything out of my bag and put it under my table. I looked forward and saw the board with today's potion. Severus was leaning against this desk waiting.
I was relieved to see he wasn't upset. His face was clam and he was waiting. Once everyone was sitting the doors closed and he pushed off his desk.
"Today we are brewing drought of Helix. Who can tell me what this potion is used for?" Just about everyone raised their hands.
"Granger."
"It's a healing potion to fix the damage done to the eyes." Snape nodded.
"What doesn't it work on, Longbottom?"
"Family disorders sir." Snape nodded.
"Why was it made Malfoy."
"The creater's child was curst blind." Snape nodded.
"You have until the end of class to finish the potion or you will come on your own time to make it. This potion is to be made alone. Get started." Everyone opened there book to the right page and went to get what they needed. Snape went around and picked up our home work. We all got started working on our potion. Snape sat at this desk and started working on checking our home work.
But I was frozen when I saw a glass orb sitting on his desk. I was surprised to see it. Then I looked at Severus. I noticed the orb changed from clear to soft green. Severus noticed and looked at it. Then looked at me and raised his eye brow. He looked at my cauldron. I nodded and went back to work.
I cleared my mind and worked on my potion. When it was finished I put it in a vile and put it in the holder with the few others that were done. Snape nodded to me and I went to clean up. When I was done I sat down. Draco raised his eye brow at me and nodded to the orb. I smirked. He smirked back and I knew he knew what it was.
"One foot on the use and history of this potion. Who isn't done you know when you can come and redo your potion." Snape said and the bell rang. Everyone cleared out. We headed to Charms. Before I was ready I was pulled into a unused classroom. Hermione, Ron, Neville, Draco and Blaine were there.
"You gave Severus a emotion orb?" Draco asked me. I nodded to him.
"You told me to give him something to prove what I was feeling and to stay away from potions and not use it as a cope out. That's what I came up with." I shrugged and slipped my hands in my pockets.
