Chapter 65
Walking in the house I smile seeing Beeley wiping the banister "hi Beeley".
She looks at me pulling her ears back nervously "Beeley helping" she says motioning to what she was cleaning.
"Did you get permission to help?" I ask squatting down in front of her.
She nods smiling "Dad Kreacher say can clean but must be careful not fall".
Nodding I stand up touching her head "then don't be nervous Beeley".
She nods rushing over grabbing my trunk disappearing with it smiling proudly.
Walking through the house I find dad pointing his wand at the mirror glaring "Hello Father".
He glances at me before ignoring the mirror completely "hello Aquila, how long have you been here?"
"I just arrived"
He nods kissing my head "Wonderful, your Mother and Walburga are speaking with Orion in the library".
Walking past him to the library I push the door open and move to a seat dropping in it sideways so my feet hang over the edge.
Mother tsks slapping my leg "sit like a proper lady Aquila".
Raising my brow I cros my ankles kicking my shoes off "we'll have to have a another marriage meeting in two days when we go to Minnie's house" I say calling the contract to me to check it out.
"She said yes?" Orion asks.
"Yes, now why is there no mention of my name requirement?"
"We spoke about it and decided you would name them"
Nodding I sit properly adding that to the contract "they can't know me as anything but their aunt, unless I tell them or they figure it out" I add looking at them.
Seeing them both nod agreeing I add it to the list before sliding it back to Mother "that's all?" Walburga asks.
"No rules we have to follow?" Orion asks.
"The rules are placed to make sure a husband doesn't abuse his wife and both are faithful, I doubt he will abuse you because I'll kill him if does or remove his family jewels if he cheats but it can be added if you want" I say smirking at seeing Orion pale at my answer.
Shrugging I quickly add it "unless agreed to, you both will remain faithful and will not abuse each other in any way or Aquila Black has the right to punish how she sees fit".
2 hours later
"Aquila, Dorea and Euphemia are joining us for dinner tonight with their husbands" Mother says frowning.
Looking at her I frown crossing my arms "I'm sick and unavailable for dinner" I say getting up to leave.
"Aquila Aurora Black, you will be at dinner" Mother orders following me.
Turning I shake my head "No, I may have to deal with them in public but here I will not brush off they disrespect or ignore how they shovel food like a Weasley, they have no respect for their heritage and clearly have no understanding of how to behave around civilized people, an infant is better behaved than them".
"If we have to put up with them so do you and Olympe will need you around to keep her distracted and away from them, you will help her, she is Hagrid's wife, who is your friend and brother she trusts you"
Screaming I kick a table knocking a vase down "those pathetic excuses for wizards shouldn't be accepted or let in here with how they act and speak, they belong in Alberfort's goat pin like the animals they are".
"I agree but they are unfortunately our in-laws and our family wants us to get to know them"
"I will not be held responsible or blamed if I hex their balls off and force feed them to them" I yell before going to my room slamming my door.
Grabbing my knitting stuff I start working on a blanket for Hagrid and Olympe's baby, eventually hearing someone knock I call for them to come in.
Glancing up I see Olympe duck in looking around "that chair's Hagrid it will handle you".
She nods moving to it sitting down and smooths her dress "what are you making?"
"Baby blanket for my niece or nephew that you have growing"
She smiles blushing while touching her stomach that's starting to show more "the men are drinking in your father's office and Irma is trying to calm Walburga down, she's yelling about some guests coming".
I nod sighing "Aunt Dorea married a Potter same as cousin Euphemia, both of them are bringing their husbands and they are crude, disrespectful, and annoying so stay with me or Walburga around them and let us handle them".
"What do mean?"
"You would be mistaken as a half giant if you attack them for disrespecting you, if they do, we will handle it so no one can target you"
"You believe me about not being a half giant?"
Sighing I rub my forehead "what I believe doesn't matter, if you're a half giant it's understandable that you would deny it with how people respond to that, what matters is you're my sister in law and married to one of my best friends so I don't care if you're large boned or half giant".
She nods looking at me confused before looking at the blanket "the blanket it very big".
I nod smiling "yes, I wanted it to be big enough they could use it as they age if they want, but since Hagrid is half giant and your a very tall woman I had to account for the child being tall as well".
Hearing a pop I look up seeing Beeley wiping at her face sniffling "Mistress, guest here your mother say come out".
"Why are you crying?" I ask while moving the blanket away and checking on her.
"Is nothing mistress"
Shaking my head I pick her up checking her finding no injuries so I get her to look at me "did someone upset you?"
"Beeley was helping and loud guests startled me, dropped the tray they laughed" she mumbles.
I nod sitting her on my bed "Beeley stay away from them even if they call for you or ask for something do not listen or help them".
Seeing her nod I sigh standing up looking at Olympe "well let's get this over with" I grumble before leading her out.
Stepping in the dinning room I move to my chair as Hagrid pulls out mine and Olympe's chairs.
Sitting down I ignore them looking at my food on the table "Hello Aquila" Aunt Dorea says.
Looking up I frown seeing Charlus smug smile "Hello Aunt Dorea, why was my elf crying?"
"It's to sensitive, you shouldn't baby it" Charlus says laughing.
"Do you have an elf?" I ask glaring at him.
Seeing him frown I nod "thought so, no elf will agree to work for you in fact every elf of house Black refused to go with Aunt Dorea, how I treat my elves is none of your business or concern. You will not mistreat them or scare them she's still a child".
Glancing at Olympe I see her looking at the food frowning "are you okay?" I ask.
"Yes, I'm fine just trying to figure out what to eat that won't upset the baby"
I nod looking at the table as Kreacher comes in with a large plate floating after him, he sits it in front of her bowing slightly "Kreacher made food baby should like for you" he says before leaving while glaring at the Potters.
Seeing her sigh relaxing at seeing different foods with insects I nod picking up my fork.
"How's your schooling going Aquila any news?" Euphemia asks.
"I asked Minnie to marry me"
Hearing Aunt Cassiopeia chuckling I look up at her smiling "she's a lovely lady and will handle a pregnancy well".
"Kid would be lanky and strange looking"
Turning to look at Charlus I raise my brow ignoring Aunt Dorea looking disappointed "I know I have warned you about speaking of her disrespectfully, and now you are talking about us having children being disrespectful".
"Sweetie, he's just playing and now's not the time" Aunt Dorea says quickly.
"No Aunt Dorea, he is being a git because he's a man child who acts like he's still a first year Hogwarts student and hasn't grown up, I feel sorry for any child he has because it will be a git who thinks it's Merlin's gift to the world, when it's mediocre at best with magic, it will be a lazy self entitled brat and his nephew will be the same only he will bully everyone" I say smirking at their outraged looks.
"That is enough Aquila, I understand you are frustrated but be respectful and Potter you will be respectful to my granddaughter" Grandfather says in a weak but stern voice.
"She's the one insulting my family and why is a giant eating bugs at the table" Fleamont says glaring at me then at Olympe.
Jumping up grandfather lifts his hand stopping me "She is pregnant and needs a special diet for the child, she is also my granddaughter in law" he says glaring at him.
"It's disgusting" Charles adds.
"And watching you two shove food in your mouths like pigs is not disgusting?" I ask glaring.
Aunt Dorea grabs his arms shaking her head "stop she's about to take over as Head of house" she whispers.
"So what it's not like she can disown you, her dad wouldn't let her" he says scoffing.
"You do owe our family a large amount of money for loans and still haven't paid those, she can demand it paid back in full. You would be broke and would never recover because you would be paying back money long after you die" Aunt Cassiopeia hisses leaning forward.
