Chapter 7
The day after finding her parents, while Hermione and surprisingly Millie were helping Hermione’s mother pack up their rented house, her father was making arrangements to return to Britain and Fred was off handling ‘personal business’.
Hermione was surprised when Fred showed up with a box of Muggle pizza and a stack of boxes along with Giselle …
Jean hurried to fetch plates and lemonade to go with the pizza.
Merc arrived just as Jean returned so they could eat together.
It wasn’t until after they finished that Giselle excitedly urged Hermione and her mother into the house where she showed off her ‘gifts’.
The first box held a white maternity dress in a Grecian style trimmed with gold braid and had an empire type waist that was above where Hermione’s baby bump was. There was a light shawl in gold in the box along with a pair of sandals…
In the second lay a more Muggle style dress, something that Jean recognised as a V-neck ruched knee-length dress in what could only be described as champagne that had a beaded design on her waist. It came with a matching short jacket and ivory crossed strapped heels.
Australia’s summer weather was so different from what she was used to…
Hermione burst into tears hugging Giselle, the former Slytherin prefect was such a kind person. The sort of girl that Hermione would have liked for a sister…
The older witch chuckled, “I didn’t get to have the sort of bonding I wanted so I decided to help you have a lovely one to remember. Millie already did a lot to ensure that by helping Fred find your parents…”
It would be different being bonded without Harry or Fred’s family but Hermione would persevere.
XoooooX
Giselle had made arrangements for one of the special bonders to arrive at the house Hermione’s parents were renting.
She was going to be married in the garden that her parents had nurtured together…
Her mother Jean had helped her get ready as had Giselle…
While Fred was being looked after by her father and Millie…
At eleven o’clock in Scamander, her father escorted Hermione into the garden.
Fred had already taken her mother in and Millie had escorted Giselle before taking positions that weren’t unlike those held by a Muggle Maid of Honour and a Best Man.
Their bonder was Roxanne Marks and they had met her briefly before Hermione and Fred were dragged off to dress but separately because of her mother’s insistence on Fred not seeing Hermione before her father escorted her out.
Hermione was wearing her mother’s pearl necklace for her ‘something old’, her dress was new, a tiara of blue flowers crowned her head and Giselle lent her a golden bracelet for her ‘something borrowed. She couldn’t wear a six pence in her shoe due to her wearing sandals but that was alright…
Roxanne welcomed them to the ceremony; “We are gathered here today to witness the formal joining of Fridericus and Hermione in the legal state of bonding. You are to be married according to the orders, customs, and the authority granted to me by the Ministry of Australia.
“Bonding, as understood by us, is a state enriched by a long and honourable tradition of devotion. According to the law each participant is equal and supports the common rights of one another to the bonding.
“Bonding is not just a ceremony here today. It is a commitment for life. Therefore, it is not to be entered into thoughtlessly, or irresponsibly.
“There must be a desire for lifelong companionship. Couples will support and comfort each other, thought the changing experiences of life. May you laugh together in joy, grieve together in sorrow, and grow together in love.
“Being bound to one another means caring as much about the welfare and happiness of your bonded as about your own well-being. Being bonded also means working together to create and sustain a home in which the marriage may flourish. With this understanding Fridericus and Hermione wish to be joined in marriage.
“Therefore, if any person can show just and sufficient reason why these two persons may not be bonded legally and magically, let them now declare reasons, or else from this time forward, keep their peace.” Roxanne paused to give them time to speak or not.
No one did, thank Merlin…
Roxanne continued, “I now call upon you both in the presence of these witnesses, to repeat after me: Let the witch say: I do solemnly declare that I do not know of any lawful impediment why I, Hermione Jean Granger may not be bound legally and magically to Fridericus Lancelot Weasley.”
Hermione swallowed and spoke the declaration truthfully.
Then Roxanne turned to Fred, “Let the wizard say: I do solemnly declare that I do not know of any lawful impediment why I, Fridericus Lancelot Weasley may not be bound legally and magically to Hermione Jean Granger.”
Fred smugly echoed Roxanne.
Then Roxanne nodded, “As no impediment was declared or admitted, I require you to give answers to these questions: Do you Fridericus promise to give to this woman the love of your person, the comfort of your companionship, and the patience of your understanding? Will you share with her equally the necessities of life as they may be earned or enjoyed by yourself; and to respect the dignity of her own personal rights?”

”I do.” Fred smirked.
Roxanne addressed Hermione, “Do you Hermione promise to give to this man the love of your person, the comfort of your companionship, and the patience of your understanding? Will you share with him equally the necessities of life as they may be earned or enjoyed by yourself; and to respect the dignity of his own personal rights?”
Hermione beamed up at Fred, “I do.”
“Now would the bonded-to-be please face one another, join hands, and let the wizard repeat after me,”
Fred sincerely did repeat her words, “I call upon the witnesses present to observe my vow that I Fridericus do take you, Hermione to be my bonded, to love and cherish, in sorrow and joy, in laughter and pain from this hour forward.”
Then it was Hermione’s turn…
“I call upon the witnesses present to observe my vow that I, Hermione do take you, Fridericus to be my bonded, to love and cherish, in sorrow and joy, in laughter and pain from this hour forward.”

It was then time for the ring exchange…
Roxanne continued, “Having declared these marriage vows, the wizard shall place the ring on the third finger of the bride's left hand, repeating after me: Hermione I give you this ring that you may wear it as an eternal reminder of our vows and my commitment to you.”
Fred slipped the platinum band onto her left finger and repeated the words.
Their bonder continued, “Let the bride say after me: I accept this ring as an eternal reminder of our vows and your commitment to me.”
Hermione shyly repeated the bonder’s words before a teary Giselle slipped Fred’s bonding ring into her right hand. Hermione blushed as she continued.
“Fred, I give you this ring that you may wear it as an eternal reminder of our vows and my commitment to you. “
Fred smirked as the ring slip on his left ring finger, “I accept this ring as an eternal reminder of our vows and your commitment to me.”
“Fridericus and Hermione you have consented in marriage, and have declared your solemn intention in this company, before these witnesses and in my presence. You have exchanged these rings as the pledge of your love to each other; you have joined your hands to accept one another. Now upon the authority vested in me by the Ministry of Australia, I pronounce you bonded in this life. Fridericus, you may kiss your bonded.
Fred threw his arms around Hermione lifting her up gingerly and led her into a passionate kiss that was almost inappropriate with her parents there…
Their bonder coughed and waited until Fred set Hermione back down and released her.
“As you begin your marriage, let your home be a haven of peace in the midst of a busy and changing world; let your relationship be one of complete truth, love and understanding because a bond will yield what you give to it. May you enjoy a long life, fulfil your hopes, feel content as you live day by day, and keep your promises to one another.”
After the ceremony, Giselle waved her wand and a fancy lunch appeared on the veranda.
Hermione burst in tears.
Giselle had never really been anyone she knew all that well aside from Prefect meetings and other than that ridiculous attempt at a duel during Hermione’s Second year where she ended up in a headlock, Hermione never really spent much time with Millie either.
She owed them both so much…
After the surprise lunch, Hermione’s father pulled out keys to a hotel for them to have a one-night honeymoon before returning to Britain…
Hermione kissed her father enthusiastically and Fred shook his hand.
Then they slipped away to head to the hotel…
It wasn’t her dream wedding from her childhood but it was wonderful just the same…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
Anon - I promise Oliver will help Percy...
