When i couldn't take charge Tanda did she was helpful not only to me but Draco
I think the idea of seeing his father and knowing his father must die. As well as his father was in the manor with his mother who despised the man
Pansy was letting Draco know this would all be okay and then I felt Fred hand in mine
What are you thinking Fred Weasley
"What are you thinking about Teri" I smile "I'm thinking about you and how nervous I am for you and that man to be in the same room"
"Me? Why are you nervous about that?"
I hold my breath for a minute
"I know I never said yes and that I was raped but the two men who I've gotten pregnant with in the same room feels not only wrong but weird"
Fred kisses my head "as far as I'm concerned he had no part in that child that is all you"
"We do have a bigger issue to discuss though" he looks down at me "what?"
"Rosalina"
"Your right her letting him out was wrong and we'll let her know she can't do that"
"It wasn't just wrong Fred"
"What do you mean Asteria"
"I don't want to fight with you so please don't use my name like that"
"Why do you think we're going to fight?"
"Because what I'm about to say"
"Say it Asteria"
"In my domain I might be in charge but forces who don't have my permission or go out of line need to be punished"
"She brought a man back from dead you do that all the time"
"Fred I do that because I'm death but I don't do it crazy I do it when it's necessary. Notice how many died during the war I didn't bring everyone back there's a balance that needs to be maintained"
"You want to maintain our daughter she's SIX"
"That is not what I'm saying what I'm saying is what happens is out of my control"
"What do you mean?"
"I might be the leader in that domain but even I'm held responsible for my actions so I make sure every life I bring back is for a reason. Lucius being someone I purposely killed to keep a balance for all those I had saved that day and for revenge made his case especially important that's why it was marked and Tanda noticed it"
"Tanda noticing it is a big deal?"
"Tanda is basically like the big bosses eyes and ears she is me when I can't be there she makes decisions on my behalf so when something is brought to her it's bad"
He nods and motions for me to continue
"I got to pick council members when I had been four years into my isolation and my domain noticed I was falling into a slump and didn't help with decisions so Tanda made an idea of a group helping with decisions I couldn't make that were either too difficult or I had a personal tie to"
"Personal tie?"
"Family or friends it was incase one of you died and I tried bringing you back but it messed up the balance"
"Oh"
"Yeah big oh, this council I picked Celeste Truit, Tanda, Lina Truit, Gideon Prewett and Fabian Prewett, Regulus Black, Alastor Moody, Lily potter, and Ariana Dumbledore but since Dumbledore died we have added him and might add Tonks. And if there needs to be a deciding vote I come in the next meeting would have been if Tonks joined or not but since this situation that has changed"
"What's the next vote"
"If Rosalina should be stripped of her abilities"
"Does that mean she'd be able to die?"
"No she has my blood with her but she wont be able to stay in the afterlife or interact there she wouldn't be able to touch anything there"
"What would you vote if it came to that?" I put my hand on his but he pulls away "the last thing I want is to take my daughters abilities that my blood gave her and I'm the only person with the ability to do it so I would vote against it"
"What about Tanda she couldn't take her abilities"
"If I even thought about it Tanda wouldn't be in existence if I didn't want her to be she can't hold a candle to me she has knowledge that I can't remember because millions of years blend together"
He puts his hand back in mine "let's do one thing at a time Teri we work on Lucius then helping our girl"
"Yeah we'll always protect all our girls"
"Yeah"
Draco went in first to check and get his mom I walked in but when my eyes landed on him rage is all I felt but Tanda stepped in front and detained him
But my dress was already out I'm just glad I didn't go full true form moment
I walk forward
I try not to shake
I'm not sure if it's anger or fear but right now they feel like one in the same
I put my hands on him and let my darkness absorb him
"I hope this hurts" but he smiles "I hear I should be asking boy or girl?"
"Burn"
And I evaporate him not long after
And look at Fred he keeps his eyes on me like any moment someone might steal me away so I walk over to him and let my body calm down as the dress slowly disappears and I hold him tighter
We all silently agree to go back to the shop because everyone who didn't follow is still there
We walk in and inform everyone Lucius is gone and won't bother again
Tanda signals for me and Fred and Rosalina who had come down stairs when she heard my voice
"The trial will take place 2 weeks in our domain and for you guys like what an hour here?" I smile "let me know if you need my vote"
"Asteria I hope we need your vote if this goes wrong this could be worse for Emily"
"Trust me I know"
"I'll be leaving thanks for helping me boss, but I'll be back to get you if the trail needs you or to tell you the result"
"Thank you Tanda you are dismissed" She disappears and I sit down and feel eyes on me
"What? Do I have something on my face?"
"What's the gender!?"
All my friends seem excited and like they don't want to focus on what that bad man had done before to me or how messed up all this is
I look to Rosalina smiling to her sister as Draco and George are holding them upside down and Harry and Pansy are tickling the girls all laughing
But as I say my next words all the laughing and noise stops
"Girl"
I don't think people know how to feel so I'll help them I smile brightly
"Is this the last kid you want?"
"No, I want more kids but for right now I think I'll need time because I want so much"
Pansy and Layla both make faces to me then smile and both them start to kick all the others out and get kids to bed within minutes these girls are magic
Pansy and Layla even kick George upstairs in his own home and then both come down and Pansy runs over to Fred while Layla runs over to me
Within seconds Layla had fixed my hair and applied red glossy lipstick that works well
Wait she also unbuttoned a button on my blouse how did she do that
She freaks me out
But then Layla is running out fast and Pansy is far ahead of her and I look at Fred and clearly Pansy had a similar interaction with him
"Those girls are crazy"
"Definitely"
An:
I kept struggling with boy or girl for weeks and I mean weeks I had two different versions
The boy one worked better for the Tyler comparison and for when Rosalina and Emily turn 11 as well as the fight scene between Yaxley and Asteria. But girl worked better for the relationship the kid would have with Draco and the be my father scene as well as the tea party but that could also work with a boy so idk
Q: what one do you think you'd like better? Boy or girl? If a lot of people think I picked wrong I might change it.
I think girl works maybe not sure
