Chapter 855 - Prickle Ⅴ (2/2)
”Mm, Lorcan's nice!” Bill chimed happily in agreement with his uncle. He liked Lorcan a lot! He was nice and never impatient like the other big boys in the Fernburgh.
Molly fans herself wildly with her hand as if about to faint, but before anything else can occur a large knock is heard at the door. Everyone turns to gaze at each other, but Bilius happily announces, ”That'll be them. I hope you don't mind Molly, but I told Juliet that Lorcan could stay over for the night. I hope you don't mind the imposition.”
Before Molly has a chance to reply, Bilius hurries to answer the door leaving poor Molly wholly unprepared. The door opens to reveal the lovely figure of Juliet D'Eath. She was still a pretty thing with bouncy ringlets pinned up. The witch had a heart-shaped face, bright eyes, and pale skin. She had always been a heartstopper in her youth and even now with the hard lines of expression on her face. The hard lines were not gone but softened by the genuine shy smile on her face.
Juliet D'Eath smiles bashfully at her beau's words, before stepping inside and pulling her son after her. Her son, Lorcan had grown over the year already as tall as her shoulder. He was a dark-haired lad incredibly pale with soulless black eyes and mauve-colored lips, a half-blood vampire.
Lorcan carefully shuts the door behind them carefully taking everything in. He had visited the Weasley's home before and he rather liked Molly and Arthur Weasley. He had even met Mr. Weasley's two brothers, Ronell and Bilius. Still, he would have never thought in a thousand years that it was Bilius Weasley, who was courting his mother. Bilius was a rather nice mister, but Lorcan felt very uncertain about it all. It was all so new to him and a part of him, he supposed was afraid and worried about any changes that might come about as a direct result.
The three of them head into the sitting room to find the Weasley family and relatives gathered around all staring at his mum and him. Lorcan tries not to flinch at the attention but is saved by the fact as Bill happily greets him. The other two little children, Charlie and Dora excitedly hurry over with Dora turning her hair black and eyes just as dark to match those of Lorcan.
Bilius proudly presents his lovely sweetheart to his family. ”I present Juliet D'Eath, and her son, Lorcan D'Eath.” Juliet curtsies and Lorcan hastily bows while trying not to dislodge the excited toddlers.
”Now we can go,” Bilius happily proclaimed as he tucked the lovely hand of his beloved Juliet into the fold of his arm.
Juliet D'Eath coyly smiles at Bilius, before firmly turning towards the stunned figure of Molly Weasley. ”I hope you don't mind, Mrs. Weasley, if Lorcan stays over the night.”
”Well,” Molly begins to say but is interrupted by Bill turning pleading puppy dog eyes towards her. It certainly didn't help as Charlie and Dora turned to gaze at her with big wide eyes.
”Please mummy!” Bill begged as Charlie and Dora cutely chimed in as well.
Overwhelmed by the combined prevalent forces against her, Molly sighs in tragic defeat. ”Yes, that will be just fine, Mrs. D'Eath.”
”Thank you,” Juliet sincerely said, before turning toward her son.. ”Did you hear that my little bat?” She fondly said to her son, before frowning at noticing how much paler her son looked than normal.
