Forever and Always - Dramione/Blinny Veela Sequel

Ch. 37

Ginny thought her head was going to explode. They had decided to use one of the sitting rooms on the upper floor of her and Blaise's manor to get ready, and the room had been taken over by the three mothers: Narcissa, Molly, and Aster. Hermione's mother was also there, but she was quietly sitting off to the side and out of the way as she talked to Hermione about different things.

The other three mothers were all filling the room with conversation as they got ready and tried to help Ginny get ready. Aster was discussing jewelry options with Ginny, Narcissa was working on Ginny's makeup, and Molly was trying to figure out what to do with Ginny's hair.

"Ginny, dear," She started, lifting up a few locks of her daughter's hair, "Are you sure you don't want it down?"

Ginny was trying to convince her of a loosely twisted-knot updo, while her mother was more set on having her hair down and straightened, pulled back with a comb that had been in the family for a few generations. And of course, Aster was wanting Ginny to use her family jewelry, which caused more arguments between the two of them.

"This is the style I want, mum," Ginny said in a slightly exasperated tone. "I don't want it to be too formal, and I don't want it down."

"But with the neckline, I think having it down would be beautiful," Molly said, frowning. "But I suppose this will look just as beautiful."

Ginny didn't look up, instead staying silent while her mother started to style her hair. Her eyes were still closed as Narcissa perfected her eye makeup, though she wasn't sure just how many more swipes of a makeup brush she could take before losing her mind.

"Ginny's frustrated," Blaise said nervously, looking at the wall and frowning.

Everyone in the room looked at Blaise before giving each other concerned glances. The men (which included Blaise, Draco, Lucius, and Arthur), had all decided to get ready in a different sitting room on the other side of the upper floor, so that Blaise and Draco could still be somewhat close to their mates. They never wanted to be separated from the girls for too long, especially now that Ginny was pregnant and Hermione was still recovering.

Arthur gave Blaise a surprised look and asked, "How do you know that?"

Draco answered, "We are able to feel their emotions. It's mostly why we were able to find them so quickly after they were...."

He trailed off but Arthur looked at the two in wonder. "That is amazing!"

Then he looked over at Lucius and asked, "Aren't you part Veela as well? Can you tell what Narcissa is experiencing?"

Lucius nodded, taking a sip of his firewhiskey, thinking for a few moments before answering. "My wife is currently amused, and rather calm, I should say."

"Hermione's amused too," Draco added, fixing one of his shirt buttons in the mirror. "Though she's got a bit of nerves on the edge of her emotions as well."

"Hasn't she always though?" Blaise asked.

Draco shrugged. "It went away for a while but since she's been back, it's been more prominent."

"Astounding," Arthur muttered.

Ginny sighed and tried to tune out all of the noise around her. She had managed to convince her mother that the hairstyle was truly in fact what she wanted, and now Aster was trying to have her pick between a few different pieces of jewelry.
