Chapter 79
Two weeks later
Picking up a book I sigh while repairing it before putting it up and ignoring Cyg hiding in the library "you're going to have to adjust and stop annoying her" I finally say.
"That's your brat in her, magic gave her to you" he mumbles looking at his hand that's swollen.
Rolling my eyes I take his hand healing it "yes, but she's still your daughter and you know that, you're just pouting like a child because your daughter keeps attacking you for annoying Dru".
"If I cough wrong she gets mad"
"Short temper, easily annoyed, and spells that cause pain, it's easy to figure out who she's pregnant with. She's a warrior Cyg she will be a fighter, now tell me what the real problem is"
"I don't want her to be like the woman in you're memories, but she keeps attacking me maybe she's always going to turn out like that" he says softly.
"Again she's a warrior Cyg she's a fighter at heart last time you tried to control her, make her into a proper lady, and forced her into marriage, this time she has someone willing to remind you how stupid you can be. I'm here to give her a different direction then she got last time, I know what she is but instead of turning her loose on people who are different, I'll turn her loose on criminals. Alastor will become one of the best dark Wizard hunters and he's agreed to train her"
"Like a weapon?" He demands glaring at me.
"No, she was a weapon before controlled by Riddle, this time she will be a hero I've removed enough problems both with the family and Riddle that she has a chance for freedom to be herself. She'll always be a fighter that's something I can't change but I can redirect what she attacks"
Hearing Minnie laughing I frown following her voice, finding her holding the family book tracking our squib family line.
"Minnie?" I ask.
"Myrtle is the great great great great granddaughter of a Black" she says smugly holding the book out "I thought you had to contact squib family for the information" she demands glaring at me.
Reaching out I take the book frowning "I forgot about this book" I mumble looking at the drawing of Myrtle with her hyper maniac smile.
"I told you she's your family she's insane, always screeches, and a pervert" she says with a smug smirk.
"Technically we're not perverts just not repressed or embarrassed about sex or sexuality" Cyg says staying behind me.
"He's right, Myrtle being a pervert is all her and may have something to do with her embracing her sexuality" I add nodding.
Reading over the information on her I laugh seeing the spot for magical blessings "she got fertility".
"Then why's she still not pregnant I want that insane witch camped out with us right now" Minnie says yanking the book back.
Rolling my eyes I take the book back and put it up "it means she has a high change for twins or more when pregnant not that its easier to get her pregnant, that's the Prewett family it's also why any female who has fertility are avoided by males who have a similar magical blessing".
Minnie frowns taking the book back down then grabs the one for our magical family "do you have one about the magical blessings?"
Nodding I move down pulling it out and hand it over "thank you, now don't bother me I'm studying" she says before walking away.
Shaking my head I sigh leaning on the shelf "she's about to learn things that confuse her".
Cyg nods frowning "if Myrtle's family why doesn't she have our looks?"
Sigh I look at him debating on hitting him before dismissing the idea "because she's not a direct Black it's distant, but by having magic she got some of our insanity and temper, it's why she yells so much, does crazy stuff, and messes with people".
"Do we tell her?" He asks.
"Have to because if she gets pregnant there's a good chance her pregnancy will have problems"
"But Moody's not a Black"
Groaning I raise my hand punching his arm making him hiss grabbing it "being stupid is going to get painful for you Cygnus, how can you be so smart and stupid, because she is a Black that means some of the family links could effect her pregnancy".
He nods frowning before a look of understanding happen "OH, because she's related to us the pregnancy could have some magical chaos that our family is known for".
"Yes and taking the fact she acts like a Black the child could be the same"
Sigh I walk away from him rubbing my temples, hearing him following me I groan hearing him talking "Cyg, right now go away before I put you back in the wall I can't handle your oblivious ass right now".
"Oh right, sorry Aquila"
Nodding I stop and hug him "I love you Cyg, just give me a few minutes" I say feeling him hug me back.
Stepping away from him I walk away slipping into an empty room, sighing I sit down rubbing my face.
April
Waking up I smile rubbing Minnie's stomach but feel completely drained and tired, yawning I get up slipping out of the room waking to Cygs room and knock lightly.
He opens the door looking drained as well, he smiles slightly before flinching, following him out I frown seeing him limp "what's wrong?" I ask.
"I feel drained I can barely cast anything and my body hurts"
Nodding I frown "Cyg do you wake up with your hand on Dru's stomach?" I ask.
He nods smiling slightly "yeah, since our talk I'm not worried about her because I know what not to do with our daughter I'll get it right this time".
"That's great, now let's go find Father" I say grabbing his arm dragging him along with me.
Reach our parents room I push the door open walking over to him and nudge him "wake up, I have a question".
He groans pushing my hand away before rolling over, sighing I reach out pushing harder "I demand answers to my questions Father or I will scream".
He huffs turn to look at me "what Aquila?"
"When Mother was pregnant did you wake with your hand on her stomach and feel drained?" I ask.
He sighs nodding "Yes it's not uncommon".
"What about Walburga what was her pregnancy like?"
He frowns for a moment "it was hard we thought she would die, she was weak and lost a lot of weight and when she did use magic unless upset it was weak".
Nodding I pace near his bed mumbling to myself "myself and Irma had to push our magic into her to help her a few times, it took a lot to stabilize her" he adds.
"I knew it" I shout.
Catching a pillow I look at Mother seeing her glaring at me "it's to early for you to be shouting Aquila, let me sleep".
"The baby pulls magic in from their mother while growing but the second parent gives more magic while asleep, that's why we wake up touching their stomach, without a second magic source it starts draining the mother's magic" I say while pacing "that flicker is the magic core forming, I just need to find a way to prove my theory, if I can it could be a breakthrough on understanding magical pregnancy".
"That's great Aquila, now go work on that somewhere else" Mother says while leading me out of the room.
Walking down the hall I focusing on how to prove this till I feel myself bump into someone and hear them grunt.
Looking down I lean down helping Vela up "sorry" I say smiling.
She smiles grabbing my hand skipping beside me talking about what she's done this morning including her complete wake up routine.
Nodding I glance at her as she talks "and I think I want to go to Olympe's school, they take students at my age" she says taking a deep breath.
"That's only for creatures so they have a safe place while adjusting to their heritage, they don't start learning magic till age 11 as well"
She huffs pouting at me "I want to learn now, I can do it I promise".
Nodding I hum before lifting her over my shoulder "okay smart girl, you can help me with Potions I need to restock anyway".
Two weeks later
Walking up to the medic wing I sigh seeing Ana in bed looking weak, moving to her I place my hands on her stomach before looking at Madame Bones "feed your magic into her stomach with me please" I ask.
She nods copying me before we start, feeling my magic pushed back I stop seeing Madame Bones looking shocked.
"She needs someone to help her feed magic to the baby, I don't think it will effect anything but keeping her from being drained" I finally say.
"You're doing this with Minerva?"
"Yes, when I sleep I do it" I answer.
"Then I'll cover her, she's my Apprentice and my responsibility" Madame Bones says looking at her.
