[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.

THREE DAYS LATER
"Rory you thought he was incarcerated for—"
"For life, yes, but he wasn't...And I should've been more faithful." Evelyn took her friend's hands into hers and begged her to understand what they've been trying to get across for the past hour.
"Wouldn't it be easier for when the children come? He cannot expect you to be the same." That caused McNair to scoff as he entered the room.
"Aurora, he's prepared to see Ronan this Friday. You need to tell him before that." She pouted, it wasn't that she regretted the relationship with Aidan, that wasn't the case. And it just made her even more guilty in thinking that way.
"We ended it months ago because I couldn't commit to it anymore, I feel awful that I dragged him along." Although neither of her friends could understand what she was feeling, they knew that what the Lestranges needed was the support of friends, and if anything McNair wasn't afraid to curse the bastard.
Avery didn't know about Aidan, it was only the McNairs as Aurora didn't want to say anything out loud, but Avery too changed right beside his wife.
"I best not let Avery corrupt my husband or vise versa...Thank you both, and you my sweet Rosa and Eli, I promise we'll have playdates over my manor in the future." The two cheered, happy that their friend Rory had more friends for them to play with.
"When can I play with them? I want to show them my dollies."
"Soon lovelies, they're in America and that's a good distance away." She kissed the kids and gave her friends a parting goodbye for finding Avery and Rabastan simply sitting out on the porch.
Although Avery was drinking fire whiskey, Aurora humored her husband and allowed him non-alcoholic.
"Rory! Come join us!" Avery cheered, and Rory rolled her eyes. "Oh best I don't, I haven't really gotten any better at holding my booze." Rabastan offered the seat beside him, and she settled rather closely and gave him a small kiss to the cheek.
"Perhaps I should go and let you enjoy the night, the manor will be filled soon and there won't be a moment alone." Avery winked, but it caused anxiety to rise up as she was about to alone with Rabastan.
"How is Ronan?"
"He's doing really well, Lucius' snobby senses haven't influenced him yet. And I'm really glad he's befriending Draco, they'll be in the same year..." He watched his wife look off into the distance at the idea of either their son or the Malfoy heir attending Hogwarts.
