Decadence ~ Chapter 30
Read it here
Phoenix Black is torn between a bright future and a Death Eater husband, and what her heart desires - her older brother’s best friend, Remus Lupin. With both of her brothers in peril, Phoenix’s role in the First Wizarding War is set in stone, as the Black family hurtles headlong toward tragedies they will never recover from.
At the edge of the marquee, Beth stood with a glass of champagne in her hand, staring out at the mountains in the distance. Her friend looked stunning in a blue silk dress that flattered her slender shape. Phoenix rested a hand on her arm, and Beth was drawn from the reverie she'd been in, glancing at her best friend with a wry smile.
"Not much of a rock this time, but you're a good deal happier."
Phoenix snickered. "You're ridiculous."
"He didn't go to Azkaban." Beth's brow furrowed, and Phoenix realised that she meant Avery. "I was hoping he would."
There had been a good deal of Death Eaters who had escaped Azkaban, but with Voldemort gone, Phoenix didn't think they would be much of a threat. They would be forced into living normal lives, though she couldn't disagree that a cell was precisely what Avery had deserved. She slipped an arm around Beth's shoulders, holding her close.
"I hoped so too." She gestured to her wedding dress and did a little twirl. "Something you see in your future?"
"Maybe one day." Beth shrugged nonchalantly, but there was a sadness in her smile. "I would need to find a nice boyfriend or girlfriend first."
