Protector {Completed}

Chapter 4

To say things had gotten awkward, would be an understatement, Hestia didn't realize that Marcus coming with her to the Weasley's would be such a big issue. Molly had glared at the boy since they stepped foot into the house and pushed him into a room next to the lounge, a slight sorrowed look came onto her face as Marcus, with his expression completely blank, took his things and put them on the bed. "But Mione I have been sharing a room with him since the first week of summer..." She mumbled at supper. Molly had even put Marcus on the other end of the table away from Hestia, it hurt her greatly to see him eat so silently at the far end, and he didn't seem to be enjoying the food much. Everyone was ignoring him, besides Fred and George whom tried to make conversation but Marcus kept silent and sent small glances towards her. Things got worse when Molly kept distracting Hestia from even speaking to Marcus the rest of the night. The tension mounted till it finally snapped.

She had wanted to tell Marcus goodnight but Molly was already carting her upstairs with Ginny and Hermione till a loud bang was heard. Turning around, Marcus's large hand was trembling against the countertop, his entire frame heaved up and down as his breathing was getting heavier and his gaze seemed to penetrate into peoples souls. "Do not behave like an animal in my house!" Molly screeched as Marcus stood upright causing her to take a step back, the boys had rushed down by then as Marcus stalked towards Hestia and grabbed her hand, not too hard and not too rough pulling her into the hug. His head went towards her neck and he took a deep breath, slightly calming down as he felt her small arms wrap around him. "You think I have not noticed anything you are doing?" Came Marcus's soft voice, his body had started trembling in an anger Hestia never liked him feeling, "The entire night you have been trying to keep her away from me, even though you can see the physical and emotional pain it causes us both. I have made a promise to keep her safe so by doing what you are doing you are making me break that promise." He said matter of factly, Molly's voice trembled in anger and annoyance as she stalked forward and tried to pull Hestia from his grip, "She does not need any protecting from you, she is safe as she is within the Order. She does not need you here and frankly we don't want you here." She said with a venomous tone. Hestia was in shock, she knew Molly was temperamental, and at times seemingly bipolar, but she was never so cruel, to anyone. With a flick of his wand, Marcus had all his clothes in a bag and grabbed it beginning to walk out of the house, Hestia was twisting her hand, trying to get out of Molly's grip as the older woman tried convincing her to stop and let him leave. As he was about to step out of the house, a pair of two arms wrapped around his waist, Marcus smiled and magicked Hestia's clothes down to him as well. With much protest from the Weasley's, bar Hermione, Fred and George, Marcus apparated him and Hestia to the one place she knew they would be safe, 12 Grimmauld Place.

After hearing their story, Sirius and Remus sat down across the two looking rather perplexed, "Molly is going to be very upset for you leaving." Remus finally said in his quiet tone, looking back at Marcus and noticing his Slytherin Mask in place, Hestia softly sighed and rubbed the scar running down her eye, it was getting more irritable since Voldemort returned. "I was not going to stay in a place that Marcus was not welcome in...he would do the same with me. And and you didnt see the way the others behaved with him, at least Mione, Freddie and Georgie were nice and spoke to him, the others were just downright rude!" Hestia threw her hands in the air with exasperation before hissing in pain. Before Remus or Sirius could react in any way, Marcus was already leaning down towards her his hands checking her face and hands before getting to her wrists, on both there was dark bruises, turning purple in color from were Molly had been tugging and pulling when trying to keep her from Marcus. Sirius felt his anger bubble up when he noticed his pup was hurt that stood up and spoke with renewed vigor, "I, Sirius Orion Black, Lord of The Blacks, hereby decree the Weasley family,other than Hermione, Fred and George, William Weasley, and Charlie Weasley, to not be allowed on the premisis under any circumstances. I also take this opportunity to name Hestia Potter as my Heir. May this house or anything that belongs to the Black family, answer to no one but her when I pass. So mote it be." "That is a very powerful oath you've taken sir" Marcus said as he held onto Hestia's hand, "While we are on that, I would like to make a promise of my own, I was going to do it earlier but Hestia would have killed me." Confused, Hestia turned to Marcus as a white,or was it silver, looking vines wrapped around their arms as Marcus spoke, "As I stand here, I Marcus Flint, promise to protect and keep safe Hestia Potter to the best of my abilities. Where ever she goes I go. Whatever she wants I get. I will keep her safe, and I will fight for her. Whomever she wants to trust, I will begrudgingly accept no matter how much I argue. So mote it be." Remus and Sirius were wide eyed, an unbreakable vow was serious business, even grown wizards or much more powerful wizards thought twice about making it. Hestia glared slightly at Marcus as he chuckled, "You're stuck With me now."
