Dominique/Albus
Prompt: Protection
Protection
August 17, 2030
Albus Potter couldn't help but smile as he watched her glide down the aisle. You could hardly notice the white scarring on her face due to her euphoric smile. Her blue eyes were bright as she fixed them on her groom waiting for her. He had never seen her look so happy before, and felt a surge of pride.
Dominique had always been a bit of a worry. As a young boy, he knew there was something going on, where the other's just dismissed her as being 'moody'. It was more that than. For years, he had watched her slip by unnoticed under Victoire's shadow and he had felt a strange urge to protect her. It was silly, really. He was so much younger than her; how could he protect her from something as indescribable and enigmatic as her own mind?
Ever since that terrible day, the entire family had tried to protect her – keep her safe. They thought that by removing her from her family, she would feel more alive. And, as he watched her flowing with happiness, he realised that they had been right.
Uncle Bill's hand clutched her arm protectively, as though he was hesitant about letting his daughter marry the French stranger at the end of the aisle. But Albus was happy for her. She didn't need his, or anyone else's protection anymore. She had finally found her niche.
A/N: Another little short one. Sorry, I just found this prompt a little difficult with the characters. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the word 'protection' was; "Didn't you use protection?" "I swear I cast the charm!"... But with these two characters, I couldn't think of a situation where that would ever happen, so I decided to go with this instead.
Forgive my rambling... it's late at night and I'm exhausted (ha ha ha)... Please send me some reviews :) xx
Ages: Dominique (30), Albus (24).
