alt_rachelRACHEL BRODIE runs Albion MLE for several years, overseeing both the rebuilding of the department she imagined late one night with Sirius Black, and Albion more generally. She and Hydra discuss the possibility of hunting down Dolohov themselves -- but first they are too busy with more pressing concerns, and then, as things quiet down, they decide it's not worth it. Once things have fully stabilized, she gets bored with running the department and steps down, and then she and Bill spend several years having adventures -- skiing, mountain climbing, deep-sea diving, riding in George's aeroplane.
Lucius is kind of right about Rachel, though. She has a lot of trouble with monogamy. She eventually cheats on Bill; he finds out; they try to work things out; Bill offers her freedom as long as she's honest about it, but she can tell how much he hates that and starts keeping secrets again. The second time he catches her cheating, the marriage ends.
For a while, without Bill's stabilising influence, her risk-taking and thrill-seeking gets a bit more extreme, culminating in a climb up one of the Himalayas without her wand where she comes fairly close to dying on an ice shelf. But a few years after the divorce she gets the urge to have a child (something Bill always wanted, and she had always refused to do); she winds up with one daughter but no husband. Parenting tempers her risk-taking somewhat, since she realises that she doesn't want to leave her child an orphan. She names her daughter after the aunt who raised her, and Emma Brodie is Sorted into Slytherin, in the same class as Reece, creating all sorts of awkwardness on the King's Cross platform for years to come.
Rachel remains lifelong friends with Draco, Ron, and Hydra -- the surviving young Aurors from that first class of Albion MLE remain some of the most important people in her life.
