𝟎𝟗𝟏; ᴀ ᴅʀᴀᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ ʙᴀʟʟ
Coventina runs her delicate fingers through Antares' fingers. The silence between them were peaceful and comfortable. They don't speak, they merely stayed quiet, listening to eachothers' heart pounding. But Coventina
finds herself biting her inside cheek. Surely Antares was not that in love with her? She didn't know much about romantic love, its was just a passing things? No? She recently started seeing her parents being finally just happy without problems.
She was not sure if Antares' love will pass. Yet in her heart she wished it was not just a Black's crazy way of seeing love and thats he love her like her father loves her papa. Hopefully. Maybe they won't end up like the millions of stars in the grave yard thats waiting for a new tragedy.
"You seem lost in your thought, ma déesse." Her eyes widened, she looks at Antares and let out a sigh. "I was just thnking about something." She brushes it off. "About me, perhaps?" He smirks. "You wished."
He did wished.
He always wishes when
it come down to her.
The nighy was clear and sparkling
with stars. The stars brighten more
than usually just like the moon.
"I love the moon." Says Remine brightly. Sirius stared at her, replying. "Me too."
"Its beautiful, right padfoot?" She says,
her eyes on the screen. "Very beautiful." Sirius replies, his eyes still on her.
His moon was indeed very beautiful.
In the Black Manor, Antares Black was sitting on his bed with warriness as the moon keep shining brighter and brighter every minutes. His two favorite knights were standing behind him.
"See? I always knew that we were his favorite." Smile Alastor, his smile was
so bright that Aelora has to take out a
a pair of glass for her and Draco to use.
"You do know that it was probably being sarcatic, right?" Altair says to his twin. "I know but can't you not be a joy killer for once." Alastor pouts.
"Is it not time for the ball?" Questions Alastor curiously. His head tilted with
a hint of mischievousness in his eyes.
"Oh! The most dramatic day, my favorite day." Draco grins. Achilles hummes, he was amused at how his brother gave birth to a true mini Malfoy. A mini Lucius. His only nephew.
"It is." Altair sighed. "Are you going to stay to watch the moon, Antares? I am pretty sure that you were the most excited to see her. For a fact, I find myself interest to meet her." Added the jewel blue eyes boy.
"Yeah, yeah." The lazy tone made Altair sighed. Since when did Antares get so
lazy─oh right. He was always so lazy.
Its just had gotten worse as they were
not there to entertain him.
"Do you guys usually entertain him? I really would love to know how you do that." Asks Coventina, the tone she uses was a little bit too sweet. Antares' eyes widened, he glares at the twins. Coventina pinches his arms.
"Oh, we played chess board, sometimes
we train with swords or daggers, there
are times where he used us for his archery training. It hurts." Alastor lists carelessly, he was not aware of the deadly and terrifying aura that Coventina, Aelora and Draco.
"Oh really?" Coventina turns to Antares who looks away from her. He rolls his eyes, he was aware of Alastor's way of telling things and making a big deal about it.
How could someone get hurt while training in archery? They were just training with Alastor who would get shoot, he just need to dodge it. "Tsk, scaredy cat." He whispers, he certainly didn't want Coventina to hear him whispering that. "Can not handle shit."
Aelora was sure that if Delphina was not holding back, she would go to slap Antares on the back on his head but then again only Coventina can hurt him so she holds back.
Antares leaned back on his bed, his long legs extending. He was a tall and lean figure, with dark-brown hair framing
his sharp features. He was dressed in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his lean arms.
His grey-brown eyes were half-closed, making him look sleepy and bored. "I
am ready, you brats. Even like this I
would still have your own mother's
affection unlike you both." A pulse tightened on Altair's nape neck.
"Can we agree that this one was personal?" Says Dorcas, her eyes secretely glanced at Regulus and Sirius. "Shut up." Growls the younger Black. Regulus was about to claw Dorcas' eyes out, maybe even torture Evan who was taking too much pleasure in this.
"Antares Black." Scolds Remina, she was trying her best to ignore the snickering of Alphard and Lucius. Both men received a slap on their back by Lilia who happens to be a very good friend of Alphard.
Alastor and Altair didn't seem to care
about the sentence. Both mostly didn't
care about their mother. People called
it mommy issues, that must be it.
"Woah, woah. Nobody told you to sleep
and roast us at such hour and at least we are not in love with a girl that will stab
us at every second." Said Alastor with a childish pout form on his lips.
"She could step on me and I would thanks her for choosing me." A lovestick Antares said softly. "Stabbing me is even better."
"Do not tempt me." Says Coventina, her head tilts, she was looking at Antares in
the eyes. "What if I do? I really don't mind
getting stab or step on by you." He grins.
"He is too far in love for us to slap some sense in him, right?" Alastor asked his brother curiously. "Maybe we should
just bury him alive." Altair whispered
to himself.
"I dare you to try." Coventina says, crossing her arms. Her tone firms, everyone knows that Coventina is the only who can and will hurt Antares. She never allows others to.
Altair shook his head in disbelief, "What happened to that manipulative, selfish and narcissic man? He used to be so sadistic and crazy and now he's a lovesick puppy who would let the heiress walk all over him." He sighed and rubbed his forehead, "I just don't understand how he could fall like this every. Single. Times."
"Just how many times have you fallen in love with me?" The questions slips out of
Coventina's mouth too easily for her own liking.
"Everytime I look at you." Antares replies without hesitation. His eyes too beautiful for it own good. A smiles tugging on his lips.
Coventina coughs and looks away. Her heartbeats going faster than naturally.
How can such simple sentence do that damage of a person?
"I know, right? One moment he's trying to murder us and the next he's acting like a lovestruck idiot. It's like he has multiple personalities or something."
"He probably do." Comments Regulus.
"Something tells me that Regulus is enjoying annoying his nephew a little
bit too much." Barty muses to himself.
They all sat in silence for a moment, trying to make sense of Antares' strange behavior. Finally, Altair spoke up."Well, regardless of his damn current mental state, we still need to figure out a way to deal with him. And quickly, before he does something stupid."
"He is Antares Black! Even when he does something stupid, it always come out with him being right and the savior." The future generation minus Coventina, Anastacius, Altair, Emrys and Antares shouts.
Antares looked over at them, a small smile playing on his lips, "And what do you plan to do about it?" he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"And you brats acted as if I never acted like this before. Stop being damn dramatic and let get ready already, I really dont want ma déesse to wait." Antares sighed, amused by the twins's dramaticness.
"I pity Coventina Potter." Altair tsked amused.
"I pity you." Coventina resorts with a grin.
Altair rolls his eyes, his eyes lingering on Draco far too long to go unoticeable by an angry Lucius and annoys Achilles who are ready to throw a knife at Altair.
"We pity her too," Alastor added with a chuckle, "I mean can you imagine how many love letters she must get?"
Anastacius sweatdrops, he remembers all of it and it was too much to even count. He wonders what had his sister done to all of those letters.
Altair shrugged, "Probably not that many, it's not like Antares could ever write anything coherent enough to be considered a letter."
"I regret those words." Mumbles Altair.
Antares shot him a look of mock
offense, "I resent that! I am a master with words."
"So true." Nods Delphina.
"You mean master of manipulation and
the Prince of love?" Mused Alastor. "You
are only poetic if its concern the heiress."
"You seem to love calling Coventina, 'heiress'. Can I know why?" Aelora asks
Alastor curiously.
"Oh," Alastor grins. "Thats a secret, princess. By the way, you look more
beautiful when you smile." He says
softly. Aelora rolls her eyes playfully
and smiles. "Fine."
Antares grunted in agreement, "You are right about that. I am only poetic and romantic when it comes to her. It's a weakness I am willing to endure, just for a small chance of being worthy of her."
James smiles, he was not sure of letting his daughter dating Antares but he seems to love her a lot. So maybe them loving each other was not that bad. They are cute too.
Achilles ignores the smiles on his lover's face and scoffs at Antares's words. There were not was he would ever allow his only daughter to date. She was too young, too sweet, too delicate. She will be protect, love and spoil with books and chocolates at the Laskos Manor. They were definitively not cute together. His daughter was cuter alone.
Sensing the tension and aure eminating from Achilles, Sirius sweatdrops. There
is no way in hell he would allow his son
to give up on the girl he loves so he must
protect his son from Achilles or Remina
will kill him. His wife will seriously kill him.
Altair rolled his eyes, worthy of her? Was Antares that lovesick? That idiot literally gave her most of his accessories which most of them contained magical protection. Even the dark lord wouldn't be able to touch one of her hair.
Achilles humms. "Still not worthy." he whispers to himself.
"Those kind of protection magic exist?!" Asks Franks who was in disbelief.
"Yes, they do." Altair shrugs as if it was just a normal conversation. "Tom Riddle is not that strong. He would have been if he had use his brain instead of desires." He adds.
"Lets just get ready, Antares, get up. The ball have probably started. And you wouldn't want someone else to ask the
heiress for a dance now would you, Heir Black?"
"I have nothing to worry." Antares smirked, getting up. They all headed out the door together, dressed in their best attire, but they were all aware that Antares would be the one to draw most of the attention from the other guests.
"I swear he is a walking tick-tack bomb." Muses Theodore in an annoys tone. "I had to clean after all his shit." He groans.
The screen quickly chenged to the Potter Manor was lit with candles and lanterns, bathing the gardens in a warm, golden light. The lawn was filled with guests, dressed in their finest gowns and suits, and the sound of music and laughter permeated the air.
Coventina stood at the center of the hall, dressed in a beautiful white dress with gold lace details, a matching headband, and her hair pulled back into a ponytail. She was surrounded by a group of eager beaus, all vying for her attention.
"Let me guess, none of them were as irresistible as Antares?" Mocks Pansy.
"She was here?" Asks Delphina confuse.
"I thought Thanatos sent her back at our current timeline." Replies Aelora who was as confuse as Delphina.
Blaise snickers at Pansy's tomatoes face. No one had notice her presence. Nonody cares.
Anastacius and Aelora were watching her. Anastacius was mostly about to slit of the boys' throat as he could see Coventina's dislike toward them all. Meanwhile Draco and Aelora were planning to drown them.
"The family dynamic between you guys contain mostly murder." Comments Mary.
She was amuse as the Marauders were also like that when someone ask her or Alice out. Poor boys who got prank endlessly.
Delphina, stood beside them, dressed
in a blue gown that made her fair skin shine. Her platinum blonde hair was down, it was surpassing her back, and her eyes glittered in the candlelight. Anastacius was right next to her. No
one dare to ask her for a dance.
"I do not approve." The Lestrange brothers states simultaneously. Why would they let their princess date? She was better off single!
"I do approve." Rabastan casts a look of betrayal at Marlene who smirks in answer.
The gorgeous Remina Black nee Lupin was talking to the manificient Narcissa Malfoy nee Black while her eyes keep searching for her lazy son who has yet to have arrive. "Cissa, why do I feel like you are not telling me something." Question Marlene Lestrange nee Mckinnon who was looking at Narcissa curiously.
The future husbands of the future wives on the screen were currently flustered. Lucius had his palm covering his mouth while he looks away. "You look truly manificient, Narcissa." He compliments with a smile.
Sirius' eyes were sparkling brightly, his smile was so genuine that the stars were jealous. "Moony! Look how beautiful you are in the future! Do not misunderstand
my words─you are very beautiful right now but you will become even beautiful
in the future!" Remina blushes, the love
in Sirius's eyes was too much for her heart.
"Looking fabulous, future wife." Rabastan smirks, unaware of his cheeks burning red.
"You are flustered, Lestrange." Laughs his future wife. "I am too beautiful for you."
"You will see." Shrugged the woman in questions amused. "I can just say that
we are back in the old days. At least once we get rid of the old hag." She mused, smirking as she sipped her drink.
"Hmfp."
"How curious."
Remina sighed relieved as she saw her son arriving with his friends as they entered the grand hall, they were all greeted by the other guests who had already arrived. The hall was adorned with beautiful flowers, candles and other decorations, the music echoing in the background.
The other guests were all dressed in their best attire, the boys in their dress shirts and black tie, the ladies in long, elegant gowns, all shining with jewels and other accessories.
Yet most eyes were on Antares Black, Coventina Potter and Aurelius Rosier
who was standing next to an unknown Heir with soft brown hair and a shiny smile.
Aelora sighs. "Big brother is like a prince charming, luckly for him Aurelius is not the sleeping beauty. Imagine kissing a boy or girl you see the first time and she or he is sleeping." She tutts, the purebloods were confuses on what Aelora was talking about but the halfbloods and muggle borns agreed with her.
"I can't believe she made us watch those type of fairy tails, I feel for the blondes princess." Delphina pouts. "Why? Becaus you are blonde too?" Questions Draco amuse.
"Exactly!"
Theodore sighs, "Those fairy tails are still innapropriate, specially when you find out that truly happen behins it. They took a true horrible story and turn it into a joyful bunch of lies." He says annoy. Aelora and Coventina made them watch many type
of fairy tails and his favorite was Beauty and the beast with Frozen.
Antares walked behind Coventina, a glare was directed toward the boys and ladies who were surrounding her with their unwanted presence. "You seem pretty annoyed ma déesse." He whispered.
"Thats is because I am annoyed, Black." She replied with a firm tone. She then turned to Alastor and Altair who went next to Draco.
"Do you know them?" She asked.
"I do." He replied a little annoyed. 'I should have let them rot in a forest till this ball had end.' He thought while keeping his eyes on Coventina. "I think Aelora likes him." She said surprising Antares. "Does she?"
"Please. Do. Repeat. This. Nonsense?" Many shivers at Achilles' tone. It was cold and firm. Achilles felt like killing every boys
on earth that have a tiny crush on his sons
and daughters. They will not be miss after all. He will doing their parents a favor.
Alastor sweatdrops, "I like him as a friend!" Aelora quickly adds. She glares at Alastor who pouts feeling confuse. "What? Did you not hear or see that Antares thought of me and my brother rott in a forest?" He huffs.
"I am probably the boy and you the girl in this relationship." Aelore whispers, much to her disaster, a certain werewolf heard her.
"I hope she doesn't. She barely even saw his face. And he is friends with you." Antares gasped, he was offended on a whole very another level. "What's arong with being my friend?"
"Everything!
"They probably have your annoying tendencies so keep him far away from
my sister, Black." It was not the truth.
But Antares understood that she didn't
like the idea of someone being with her sister it seems.
"Thats my girl." Nods Achilles, he was so proud of his daughter. So was Emrys at the current moment. They should celebrate this.
Anastacius smiles, "She may be the youngest, she is still the one who took
care of us." He mutters softly. He looks
at Aelora who smiles back at him.
"Protective much, little one." He whispered softly. "By the way, you look ethereal." He said with a grinned. She does look unreal. "Thank you, Black." She replied polite.
"You don't look bad yourself." She complimented with a smirk plastered
on her lips. Antares smirked.
"I know."
Coventina glared at him. "I meant thank you, ma déesse." Draco could see that
his cousin was probably dancing in the inside. He wondered what Coventina told him to make him so happy.
A smile naturally form on Coventina's lips. Mayve she was not that cold after all. After anyone who lived in the icy side end up being cold. Thats is until they find their fire.
"They look good together." Aurelius said, standing next to his fiancé. "Don't you dare think such stupid thing, love." An annoyed Emrys said, with a tight smile on his face.
"Or I might just make him disappear." He added sweetly as he started making his way toward his siblings. All eyes were on him and his three siblings.
"You wish." Antares grins.
Aerys let out a sigh. "Give up on that idea, Emrys. I tried that too. He has more than nine lives." She says.
"Her eyes are so pretty," Blaise thought to himself.
"Welcome everyone." Emrys smirked, his grip on his glass tighten as he saw the man he despise more than anything, him, Albus Dumbledore. "We are here to celebrate the yule, the announcement of heirships for four pureblood families."
"Four?" Whispered Lucius confusely.
"I thought it was three?" Murmurs were heard amongs the lords and ladies who were curious about the last one.
Coventina smiled, narrowing her eyes toward Dumbledore. "Yes, my apology for not adding this in the invitation. I am sure that the fourth heir would like to introduce himself."
"Thats something the Black would have done." Says Andromeda, not caring the
way her mother flinches. She refered them as Black, not family. Narcissa rolls her eyes, the audacity of their mother to act like she was the victim. She made them the way they are.
Emrys chuckled, God could someone be more charming? He turned his attention
to the ladies and lords. "Emrys Laskos, Heir to the most Noble and Ancient House of the Laskos." Dumbledore's
eyes widened.
"Better give him a heart attack." Whispers Fleamont who was caressing his sleeping wife's knuckles.
Lucius frowned, his eyes travelled to
his wife, who was smiling. "What is the meaning of this?" He demanded his wife.
"─shh." Narcissa smiled. "Just listen, Lucius, the tea is getting hot!" Lucius raised a brow.
"Slayyy!"
"My second role model." Chats the students cheerfully.
"The tea?" Blaise was ashamed of knowing that there are people who didn't even know the meaning of tea.
"I swear they are more dramatic than
us both." Dravo whispered to Antares. Feeling offended in the behalf of Coventina and Emrys, Aelora stepped on Draco's feet on purpose. "Opps. My bad, I didn't see your feet."
Lucius winces, he gots that a lot with some of the heiresses in his years.
"Y-yeah, right." Smiled Draco. His smile was reflection the pain he felt. "Damn heels. Its dangerous." He mumbled. Alastor grinned.
"VERY!!"
"This must be some kind of joke, young boy, there is no Laskos left since the former lady and lord died." Exclaimed Albus Dumbledore, making the ladies and lords whispered more.
"Then what am I? A joke?" Lucius looked at Dumbledore. "I don't remember being born without a mother, Dumbledore. Do you think a kind of swan dropped me off the Laskos Manor?" Draco snickered.
"A peacock not a swan." Regulus says.
"A cat, not a merman." Resort Lucius.
"You did NOT." Regulus felt so offend.
"Well said, brother but I remember our mother was an angel in disguise, not a swan then you arrived, the peacock of the family." Eyes narrowed toward the man who spoke, a man who was walking toward Lucius with a grin plastered on his face.
"Aww, thank you, sweatheart." Lilia smiles, her eyes narrows at her elder son. "But do not mock your little brother, you know how sensitive he can be about the subject of his adoption." Coventina coughs at her grand mother's words.
"Mother!" Lucius looks at her in disbelief. "Stop laughing, niece!" He looks at his niece.
"Is not that the hot man from the shop?" A soft voice which belonged to Delphina said.
"Yeah, thats him." Draco raised a brow. "Did he just said brother?!" Draco's grinned fade away slowly. "I have an uncle?!" He turned to Delphina. "You simped for my uncle?!"
"Seriously?" Theodore and Daphne turns to Draco.
"What?"
"You gave birth to a dramatic ferret
too on that." The man added, amuse
by Draco's expression.
James sighs, no matter what he will say
he can't stop Achilles from mocking and teasing others. He will sulk if he does. He
doesn't want him to sulk, he prefers a smile.
"Narcissa─my sweet wife, please pinch me. I think I am seeing the dead and I am sure that dead people are supose to stay dead!" Narcissa pinched her husband on the arm which makes me him wince. "─ouch!"
"He is very much alive." Said Marlene, her lips curled into a smirk. "Does that mean that sweatheart name Coventina is from him?" Squeeled Marlene in happiness.
"Not you caring about that instead od him being alive." Remina chuckles.
"Yes!" Remina chuckled at Marlene's joyful tone at the puzzles she putted together.
"What is the meaning of this?" Demanded Fudge who was watching everything while being completely confuse.
"Is he alive in the future?" Xenophilius asks Aerys.
"I don't know, I do not really care about unimportant people. They are such a bother." She says exasperately.
"Mood."
"I would like to know that too." Albus Dumbledore's eyes flickered to the man and Emrys, back and forth.
"Ah, my bad. Time for the introdution, little devils." The man let out a dramatic sighed.
"I go by Achilles Ares Laskos, son of Lilia Malfoy nee Laskos and Abraxas Malfoy, the Lord of the most Noble House of the Laskos, older brother to Lucius Malfoy Laskos." He grinned watching Lucius's jaw dropped.
"Close that mouth, Luci." Teases Rodolphus.
"Come and close for me." Lucius scoffs, not realising how wrong his words sound like.
Narcissa humms,"A threesome? Not bad," she mutters to herself and smiles at her brother in law, Rodolphus without caring about Bellatrix who was annoy.
"Amazing." Delphina smirks at Draco.
For those who thought he was dead was actually confuse but seeing the ring on his finger and the expression of Lucius, they had to believe it. A man like Lucius doesn't get easily shocked.
"You have a hot uncle, Draco." Delphina told him. Anastacius sighed, exasperated.
"You have a hot boyfriend, Lestrange." Aerys cooments with a smirk.
"Back off, he is mine." Delphina cross her arms.
Aerys winks at Anastacius who smirks at back her, mouthing a 'thank'. Aerys shrugs, 'no problem' she mouths back.
Fudge frowned and watched Emrys walked next to Achilled with a similar grin. "My name is Emrys Theuseus Laskos Potter, Heir to the Laskos─before you asked how am I related to the Potter, know that I am the son James Potter and Achilles Laskos, older brother to three adorable little siblings." He smiled.
"─and lover to a Rosier."
Coventina smiled, a genuine smile. "Well I am the Heiress to the Potter, daughter of James Potter and Achilles Laskos─not Lily Evans─I do not care if someone doesn't believe it. Just know that I know fifty five ways of shutting up a pest."
"Step on me, please."
Antares chuckles. "I taught her well." He said proudly. "You mean, I taught her well Heir Black." Achilles's eyes pierced into Antares'. "No, no. I taught her well." Said Antares with a smirk.
"You are arguing with a kid." James points out.
"He is not a kid if he steals our princess away! He is a threat!" Achilles crosses his arms.
Everyone were still shocked, yet
they could hear the argument in the background. Was the Lord of the
Laskos really arguing with a child
over something to childish? Oh, Yes
he totally was.
"I do hope that everyone enjoy the ball." Said Emrys with a charming smile, making the ladies blushed. He walked back to Aurelius with a grin. "How was it?" He asked.
"Very dramatic, mon soleil." Exclaimed Aurelius with a chuckles. Emrys slapped
his arm playfully, while he looked at his sisters.
"Protective brother alert."
"I want a brother like that."
( Me too )
"What are those things doing next to their unreal beauty?" He demanded, watching Alastor and Antares annoying his sisters.
"I hope the thing he was talking about was Antares. I can't be compare to a pest." Says the ocean blue eyes boy.
"Let them enjoy themselves for a while, mon soleil." Aurelius chuckled. He suposed that atleast he could tried to not let Antares get in trouble with Emrys. "Let's try to enjoy this lovely night." He added before taking his fiancé's hand to dance.
Little did they know that
the night won't be so lovely.
"I do not like the sound of this."
"Nobody do."
