Tears gathered on the young woman's eyelashes. Millicent could prove to be a problem in the future. House-elves were bound to a family with ancient magic most didn't understand. Because her marriage wasn't consummated and the baby she carried was a Lestrange and not a Nott, the family's house-elves had no loyalty to Rosalind. Even if one of them wished to stay, they were compelled by the archaic bonds of their slavery to follow Millicent's orders. She and her three daughters were the only true members of the family left. It was a complication Rabastan could not have seen when he prevented the marriage between Theodore and Rosalind from being sealed in the marital bed. One day his mistake would come back to bite him on the arse. Of course while Hermione was grateful that the terrified girl didn't have to suffer the indignity of Theodore's defilement, she knew that she had some hurdles left to jump over.
