[Completed] Book Two
Following Aurora's graduation from Hogwarts, she was reminded once more that Immer Rein had not expired so simply. If anything it had been demanded almost immediately as soon as she found herself of legal age.
After the chaotic...

The days rolled together with the weeks, then into months. And it was an empty nest of the lack of husbands within the Lestrange Manor.
The other homes rightfully abandoned as the five of them needed one another, if not for themselves then for the children. Their fathers were the ones to be in this mess, what more could the wives do?
Whenever a husband did come home however, it was a reunion in private. The love the wives still had for their husbands was unmistakable, and although Rabastan knew Aurora was furious with him for being away for so long...
She surprised him by being passionate in the bedroom without a single regret etched on her face. Or not until he told her they were still looking for the Dark Lord.
It erupted into an argument, and when he mentioned the Longbottoms he truly received an earful. He was running away from the law, in the eyes of everyone he was a criminal.
Aurora didn't want to say that he looked awful, but he did. And what made matters worse is that he continued to leave and return at his own pace.
Evelyn and McNair were the first couple to claim their return back to their own life, McNair couldn't be gone for as long as the rest as the baby was going to join them soon.
The pattern continued, much like before the wives were at the mercy of their husband's actions and if they chose to stop running it would allow them to return home. Avery had been one of the last to retire the game of searching for the Dark Lord, leaving Rabastan with his brother and Bellatrix.
To think Aurora was stressed prior to this time, there was nothing worse than this... she was living in agony. The woman didn't leave her home, nor did she leave for the collected funeral of Senior Lestrange. Or Linda Lestrange.
Aurora partly felt guilty in the sense that Lydia had been completely abandoned by her a family that just recognized her. But when reaching out, an extended family member had taken her into the family. Lydia would be heading to France for a safer environment.
Amelia had offered to house Aurora and the Lestrange children, but was declined. If she denied Evelyn's invitation she was sure as hell not going to find herself living at the Avery's.
Which had been the mistake of the century, as Rory hadn't seen Rabastan in the last few weeks. Only for the same two Aurors to show up in her foyer with a search warrant and the means for her arrest.
