Chapter 484 - Black Family Reunion Ⅳ (1/2)

With the sound hastily resuming, Cassiopeia impatiently glances around and says, ”Who exactly are we still waiting for? I do believe everyone that can be here is here!”

Dorea glances at her great-niece, now, Narcissa Malfoy and her husband, Lucius Malfoy, who are taking a direct seat across from them. ”Well, I do believe that we are still waiting for our cousin's daughter, Lucretia and her husband, Ignatius Prewett. But she absolutely hates being late. It is rather strange of her,” Dorea muttered out loud.

Many voices can suddenly be heard in the front hallway as Cassiopeia furrows her brows and says, ”Did Walburga invite other guests?”

”No, our niece said that she'd only invited the family,” Dorea muttered in reply.

Dorea and the rest of the family turn their heads before blinking in surprise. There standing right behind the dark, silver streaked Lucretia, and her large nosed husband, Ignatius Prewett is a family of red heads. A pin could be heard dropped in the abrupt silence. Various mouths were flopped open in shock unable to comprehend the unbelievable scene before them.

An elderly, thin man with freckles nods at them and says, ”It has been many years since I have stood before the Black's.”

”Septimius Weasley!” Arcturus thundered as he rose to his feet. ”What is a blood traitor like you doing here?!”

”Because I invited him,” Walburga sternly said at Arcturus, her father-in-law, (and admittedly Uncle). She was the hostess and he would not embarrass her before her guests!

Arcturus unwilling takes a seat as Walburga says, ”For too long we have not accepted the children of our Aunt Cedrella Black. And whether we accept her choice of a spouse or not, her three sons, Bilius, Ronell, and Arthur do not bare her sins. They shall be reinstated on the Black Family tapestry.”

Arcturus huffs and accusingly turns to look at his cousin, Pollux, who in turn says, ”I presume that you have carefully considered this Walburga?”

”The Prince head, Reginald Prince accepted his half-blood grandchildren and was rewarded by doing so in discovering that the children were in fact possessors to three of the founder lines,” Walburga explained. ”I do not believe we stand to lose anything by accepting our own. They are still purebloods, and their youngest son has wed a Prewett. An excellent pureblood family name to be tied too.”

Pollux slowly nods his head and says, ”Then you will hear no arguments from me. Who else will speak against my daughter's claim?”

Arcturus merely snarls in anger but remains silent. The Blacks were rather pragmatic at times and knew a good deal when they saw one. Not that they had to like it, but they knew when to tie themselves to another family for power.

Nodding to the head of the Weasley family, Walburga says, ”Head of this Weasley branch, Septimius Weasley, please introduce and present the children of our dearly departed Aunt Cedrella Black before us.”

The elderly wizard who greatly resembled his youngest son, Arthur, clears his throat. Septimius Weasley points to his eldest a freckled, red hair jolly looking man roughly the age of Walburga and Orion. ”Bilius Weasley, my eldest.”

The Black's nod to Bilius and says, ”Welcome.”

Pointing at his second born, a dark-haired man with gray eyes some seven years younger than his firstborn. Out of the three brothers, he was the one who resembled the Black side of things the most. ”Ronell Weasley,” Septimius proudly declared.

Once more the Blacks greeted him with a, ”Welcome.”

Pointing to his youngest son, born many years after his two eldest, Septimius says, ”I present my third son, and youngest child, Arthur Weasley. At his side is his wife, Molly Weasley. And their two sons, Bill, and Charlie Weasley.”

”Welcome,” the Blacks said as they could suddenly feel traces of bloodline magic swirling in the room.

Back at the Black Family home, the tapestry suddenly began to shine as names that had been blacked out suddenly became clear. Tree branches suddenly began to appear as names were restored to the Black Family Tapestry and grew. Included was the restoration of Andromeda and her husband as a tiny branch underneath appeared beneath them with the name of their daughter, Nymphadora.

The swirl of magic quickly dispersed as Walburga says, ”Not let us sit and eat. We are family.”
