Change of fate
Chapter 8
The first weeks of term was a fairly easy and fun, because everyone was baffled at how he could do everything without a wand, but if there was one class that irritated him to no end was the potions master, Snape. He insisted on making everyone's lives hell and the way he taught was appalling, he made people who did not know the answers look like a idiot and took away points over minor mistakes that first years were bound to make. Anubis decided that he would be speaking with the old fool about this after term finished, but now he was getting ready to meet the Delacour's in Paris. When he morphed on is clothing he usually wore, he left his chambers to go and tell he was leaving for the day on important matters. When he arrived at the headmasters office he immediately barged in without permission, when he saw that the headmaster was having a meeting with the heads of houses he raised an eyebrow before speaking. "Albus, I will be leaving the grounds on important business, I will be back before sun down" as he turned to leave he heard the arrogant voice of Snape. "What makes you think he will allow that, boy?" Anubis just continued walking as he spoke "I am your boss and the one who pays you, so I would keep your mouth shut. Also Severus if you don't get your act together and stop being unfair in your treatment of people in other houses I will see to it you are replaced, good day".
When Anubis apparated outside of the Delacour's chateau he immediately made his way to the front door of the chateau, when he knocked on the door he was immediately let in by a smart looking elf before being led to a study of some kind.
Jean Delacour was a nervous man, a lord of two of the most powerful houses in the worldwas coming to see him to ask for his daughters hand in marriage, this was the opportunity of a life time not only would secure his daughters futures with a powerful man but it would solve the families financial crisis. When Tolly lead a young boy of around fourteen into the room, he could feel the raw power coming of this boy that he knew that agreeing to this contract would do great things for his house. "Good day, milord, I am Jean Delacour and I believe we are here today to discuss betrothal contracts for my two daughters to you" said Jean as he extended his hand to the young lord.
"Indeed we are lord Delacour, I am Anubis, lord Le Fay, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and" Anubis paused at the last title because he knew his old master was hated very much on the mainland, he decided since they were going to be family dafter the contract they might as well know. "Grindenwald, I know you must think why you should have anything to do with anyone baring the name Grindenwald, but hear me out. My former master, Gellbert Grindenwald was not the nicest of people and I do not defend him for whatever he did, I only bear the name Grindenwald because he gave me the title and made me the head of house so that the house would continue" Anubis finished as he watched lord Delacour relax and nod before speaking again.
"If you are confused on how I could know Grindenwald, it is due that my body was forced to de-age itself in order to keep itself alive after being hit with the killing curse while I took down Voldemort". After that he proceeded to tell him his life story, after he finished jean got up and walked to a wine rack before pulling out a bottle and pouring two glasses and returning to the settee and handing Anubis his glass before speaking. "From I have heard just now I can be certain of one thing, you will be good thing for my daughters and I know you will protect them a lot better than I ever could out in the world. If you wish to meet my daughters I can take you to Beauxbatons to meet them" at Anubis's nod they got up and apparated to Beauxbatons.
Fleur and Gabrielle were extremely nervous as they had been called to Madam Maxine's office because their father wanted to see them, as they entered Madam Maxine's office they were greeted by the sight of their father talking with a young man casually. The young man stiffened when he felt Fleur's allure but instead of turning into a gibbering mess, he instead turned to them and raised an eyebrow before speaking to them in French. "If you would ma fleur tone done your allure, it would be most appreciated" Fleur blushed at his compliment and wrestled in her allure, when she finally got it under control did the man speak again. "Now that is out of the way I may introduce myself, I am Anubis and if you agree to it mes Fleurs, your future betrothed" when Fleur and Gabrielle heard that her mouth fell open in shock.
Anubis smiled at their reaction, but when they saw that they blushed even harder. Deciding to have pity on them, he turned to Jean and said quickly in English "do you want to explain what is happening to them while I wait by the fire place?" When he nodded his head, Anubis made his way over to the fireplace where he proceeded to wait until they were finished. When he was called back over to the Delacour's he found to his surprise instead of hostility from Fleur, he found a look of curiosity in her crystal blue eyes. "My daughters have agreed to marry you if you can resist the full allure of a veela in order to prove that you won't be slobbering mess around them when they decide they want to bond themselves to you, is this acceptable?" asked Jean in a worried voice as he knew that most men couldn't control themselves when a veela lets go of her allure.
Anubis nodded his head in and braced himself for what was about to happen, when he felt nothing wrong he raised an eyebrow at Fleur who was looking at him with astonishment in her eyes as apparently she had expected to end up like her father, a deep crimson while desperately trying not to look at her. "I believe I have passed your test ma jolie veela, before we move on to signing the contracts I would like to know something. Do you wish to be bound to me or are you only agreeing because your father is telling you to?" asked Anubis as he held up his hand to halt Jeans protests.
Fleur was again shocked at how this boy, no man, would treat her so normally and not be a blubbering moron as most men were when they are around her. When she got over her shock she decided to respond to him frankly in French as she wasn't very good at English. "While I may not be very pleased with this arrangement, and Gabrielle probably feels the same" her sister gave a nod at this. " but I know that we will never have to hide who we are around you and that means a lot to us as we have lost all of our friends over what we are" by the end of this she was crying at the unfairness of it all.
Anubis decided there and then he would always make sure all his lovers would be happy and never have to suffer the ridicule of those around them for what they are, and when he saw her crying he did something that surprised Jean, he hugged her. Fleur had never been hugged by anyone outside before as men usually passed out when she touched them, and women wanted nothing to do with her as they saw her as a threat over their control of their boyfriends and husbands, as she leaned into the hug she found that she enjoyed it and snuggled her head into his shoulder. After she stopped crying she pulled away and kissed him right on the lips with all the passion she possessed as she knew he was the one for her as she knew he would always care for her and see her, not the veela.
When Anubis felt Fleur kiss him he felt a connection form itself between him and her, and he could see her life and thoughts flash through his head, as he managed to get control of this new information he looked at his new bonded and saw her smiling at him as she snuggled into. What she said confirmed his suspicions, "I love maître" as she said this he forced her to look at him as he looked at her with a kind look on his face. "You call no one master mon amour" as he said this Fleur's face brightened up as she kissed him again. When they broke again he was tugged at his arm by a very cute looking girl, she had silvery blonde hair, crystal blue eyes and her skin was pale as snow. In short, Anubis admitted he was very lucky to be betrothed to this girl for she was Gabrielle Delacour. When he broke away from Fleur to look at her sister he was immediately tackled by the small girl as she jumped into his arms as she kissed him right on his lips. Again his mind was flooded with thoughts and memories as she bonded herself to him.
After the bonding finished he looked into Gabrielle's eyes and saw only love with a hint of
Nervousness as she looked at him, when she looked like she was about to cry he kissed her again as he held her close to him. When they broke away they were immediately aware jean laughing his head off as he looked at them before he managed to get out "well I think we should just do the ceremony right now since they have bonded themselves to you from all the kissing I can see happening, and I'm not kidding marriage must happen with day of a bonding" he said with a very serious expression on his face. Anubis nodded his head as he knew of veela bonds and how they worked. He was shocked that he was going to married today but knew that if he didn't they would die and he would not let that happen, they were innocent and did not deserve it.
Three hours later...
"Do you, Gabrielle Marie Delacour and Fleur Ada Delacour, take Anubis Le Fay/Hufflepuff as your lawfully wedded husband" asked the priest as he watched the three of them closely. They were in the Delacour chateau as this was happening; Anubis was in formal skin, grey formal robes with his hood down with a violet sash across his belly. The girls were in white dresses with a violet sash going across their bellies as a sign of joining his house. As they spoke as one it brought Anubis back to reality, "we do". The priest nodded before speaking, "then by the power entrusted in me by god and magic, I pronounce you man and wives" when finished he spoke a spell under his breath before a white light happened and the two sisters felt a ring on their middle finger form, when the light disappeared they were greeted by polite applause from all the Delacour family and the Greengrasses and Potters, with his three other betrothed looked on with happiness in their eyes as well as hope, no doubt about their own wedding days when they will bound themselves to him for all eternity.
