Canon Compliant: Cho Chang Chin
Great-auntie Lin mostly kept to her rooms at the back of the house and her herb garden; but sometimes there would be many guests, and they would get noisy. Then Great-auntie would come shuffling into the parlor on her tiny feet, slapping the wands out of the hands of the girls, screaming "Not need! Not nice! Carry fan!"
A tense discussion would then ensue as to whose blood relative she actually was, followed by a truce as both camps allowed as how all sorts of witches and wizards swore by her botanicals, and really, it was so cute how the littlest children took to calling her Habu, Grannie.
Habu mercifully could not read or write in Chinese or English, so Cho did not have to face her embarrassingly frank life-lessons until she came home from school on holidays. Great-auntie would scatter sticks on her rosewood mahjong table, or peer into her silver water bowl and begin to mumble. "Not marry, play with boys, lose your face bring home ghost baby!"
"Habu, Cedric and I never..."
"Who talk about dead boy? Back in China, maybe, if... No, no, I talking about witch-boy! Have ghost-talk in head! Anyway, he too yin. Ha! No ghost baby with ghost-talk boy! I fix. Find nice Chinese boy, wear Western suit, much better than witch boys!"
Cho rolled her eyes.
In the end, of course, things went Habu's way. A friend had a daughter whose husband had a nephew in a very good way of business in Hong Kong who was in need of a wife.
Cho told her school friends that he was a toymaker; it sounded more respectably Wizarding. In fact, he was the CEO of a manufacturing business that shipped clone dolls and action figures by the pallet-load to big discount stores all over the world; all the guests at the marriage festivities were duly impressed that the bride wore the traditional wedding garb gracefully and comfortably, even though she spoke no Chinese and her English, British guests remarked, had an odd regional inflection.
