Chapter Eleven, Slander and Early Birth
The next morning Aurora awoke with a smile on her face as she thought of her first date with Charlie, it had gone better than she ever thought possible. But what she didn't know was things had been set in motion as someone had caught them last night at dinner and though they weren't doing anything wrong the person thought otherwise and it would be in this mornings Daily Prophet. Once she was showered and dressed she made her way downstairs for some breakfast but upon entering the kitchen and seeing the grim faces of her family she instantly knew something was wrong.
"Dad what's wrong?" She asked worriedly as she sat down next to him. Sirius sighed running his hands through his hair as he threw the paper down onto the table angrily landing front page up. "I'm so sorry Pup Rita Skeeter must have found you and Charlie at some point last night and posted it in the paper making it seem like a scandal when you've done nothing wrong. Don't worry I'll sort this out I promise Rory she won't get away with this." Aurora paled as her dad spoke as she picked up the paper as if it was going to attack her. Looking at the front page she saw a picture of her and Charlie in the restaurant holding hands and Charlie kissing her forehead. The headline read: Scandal of the Chosen One: playing brother against brother. How long has this gone on for?
Aurora immediately grew angry as that horrible woman was making out she was playing Fred and Charlie against each other even though it had been common knowledge that she had been engaged to Fred. Insinuating that her baby wasn't Fred's but Charlie's or maybe someone else like George as it was stated she was uncommonly close to him all throughout school even though she had been dating his twin brother. She even had a quote from Molly and Ginny saying that she had been close to all of their sons/brothers and it had been quite worrisome and they often wondered who the father of her baby was. Rita had then gone on to say to her readers that she would find out the truth and discover the lies of the Chosen One as the public should know who their hero actually was.
Aurora threw the paper down onto the table it immediately bursting into flames caused by her accidental magic. She was so angry she could feel her magic bubbling under the surface ready to be released. She hadn't felt this angry since the whole Marge incident. The windows in the kitchen started to crack and rattle, the cutlery in the cupboards and on the table shaking as a tornado of her anger and magic continued to rise. "How dare she! How dare she say that about me cheating on Fred! I love him, I wouldn't! And Molly and Ginny I knew they hated me but to say that!" Aurora all but screamed as she flew to her feet shaking in her anger.
Sirius leapt to his feet bringing his daughter into a tight hug running his fingers through her hair trying to calm her down before her magic completely lashed out of her control. He knew she would feel terrible if someone got hurt because her magic was out of control caused by her anger and her raging hormones. He knew she had every right to be upset and angry as he, Remus and Dora were fuming. Remus had nearly lost control to Moony when he read the paper. "Shhh Rory. Shhh, we won't let them get away with this I promise but you need to calm down before you hurt yourself or Amaya." Sirius said softly trying to calm her down.
