Several months later..................................................
“Hey Harry. What's up?” Ginny greeted him as he walked in.
“Hiya Gin. I have an idea that I want to run by you before I mention it to the others.
“OK....what is it?”
“It's about you and Uncle Tom. I found out in my mom's journal what can help. But, I'm not sure what exactly will happen. It seems that once the two of you, you know” Harry turned a little pink at having to discuss his Uncle's sex life. Ginny just grinned as she nodded. “Well, that will break the curse. Consummating the bond with his life-mate is the other half. I already shared my blood with him sooo..... yeah. We at first thought that it could be him making love to anyone. But, no, it has to be you. His life-mate. Hopefully, the affect will be instantaneous. But just in case...” Harry waved his hand over Ginny's bed. “I made your entire bed a portkey keyed in to only you. If it seems that there will be a delay in the curse breaking and you think you are in danger; just say 'Harry' and it will bring you directly to a safe place warded with Black blood. Dray and I will feel if it activates and meet you there instantly.”
They spent the next half hour talking about the whole thing.
“Do you really think that he will try to hurt me, Harry?” Ginny asked, eyes full of concern and a little fear.
“I hope not, Gin. I really hope not.” He answered as he pulled her into a hug.
That evening, during dinner, Harry waited until everyone was almost finished before mentioning anything.
“You know, Uncle, that my mother got her spell creating from Salazar himself?”
“Yes, he is well known for several spells.”
“I know. And even more that people don't know about. For example, the counters to several thought-to-be unbreakable curses.”
“Very interesting, Scarhead. But what does that have to do with anything?” Draco snided playfully from a safe distance.
“Well, Ferretface, it has everything to do with Uncle Tom and Ginny.” Harry was just as playful. He had enlisted his brother's help earlier. So, he knew just what to say.
“Of course!” was exclaimed from around the room by various people.
“No” Tom kept his head down to avoid the confused looks on the faces of his family.
“What do you mean, 'no'? Sir?” Neville was still a little intimidated at times.
“Don't question me. I said no. I saw what you found, Harry and I will not do it. It is entirely too risky.”
“To whom? I already talked to Ginny. She knows all the details and heard me out before refusing.” Harry's manner had changed. You could almost feel the tension now. “She WANTS to at least try. She thinks it's better to try and die than do nothing and die. At least this way IF she dies, it will be happily bonded to her life-mate.”
'Please, Harry, I can't. I will not be able to handle it if she dies by my hand.' Tom pleaded through their link.
'But you are okay with letting her die of a broken heart by being so near her mate yet never being able to truly be with him? Still your fault. If we try, there is at least a chance of happiness together.' Harry knew he was a bit harsh. Sometimes, he had to be the 'grown up'.
“Fine. We will try but I want every precaution taken beforehand. And YOU, Harry, will be the one responsible for those.” Tom conceded to the happiness of the others in the room.
“You will be glad to know that I have already taken such precautions.” Harry retorted with a smile.
“Very well. After you and Severus bond, we will begin preparations for Ginerva and myself.” Tom said with a grin on his lips but doubt in his eyes.
Harry's smile and hug was his only response. He then left to tell Ginny the wonderful news that Tom had agreed.
For weeks, he had seen the strain the bond was putting on both this uncle and Ginny. He ate, slept and even bathed researching a way. He would switch from one book to the other in search of what his mother had meant. Three days ago, he found what he thought was the solution. Of course, the first person he talked to was Severus who agreed with him. Then, his Grandmother who only smiled, telling him everything in that one gesture. Ginny was next. He knew she would agree no matter the risk. Also, if he went to his uncle first, he would say exactly what he did. Which is the main reason why he went to Ginny first. He knew that was all Tom needed to hear to also agree. Whatever Ginny wanted; she got.
Harry would be certain to make tonight's 'dream' a very special one.
Poppy sat in her office in the hospital wing going over the most recent addition to a very thick chart. The poor dear has always been a little clumsy but these last few months have been different. Cut as if being tortured; bruises as if being hit and/or thrown against walls and the floor. After asking her about it all the girl would say is that it's nothing. I of all people should know how clumsy she is. It's strange how the headmaster said almost exactly the same thing. She really needed to have tea with Severus. Maybe after everything at the castle has settled down. It should only take a few days.
As Tom is the Uralt Prime, he will be performing the ceremony they had all waited so long for. None more than Severus and Harry. Leaving Hermione to help prepare and stand with Harry. As Severus' only living relative, that duty fell to Remus. All their friends and family, along with a few other guests, were going to be here for the long awaited joining of souls.
10:30am
“What if he changes his mind? Will you do me the sympathy and maul me on the next full moon? I know that I cannot bear to be without him and watch him with another. Please, Rems. You have to?”
“No, Sev. He loves you more than life itself. He's not changing his mind. You two are meant to be and will have a long and happy life together. Yours is the kind of love that makes the storybooks jealous. Calm down will ya?”
“Yes, yes. As usual, you are correct.” Severus said as he hugged his little brother. “However, if you ever tell any living soul I said that; not only will I deny it, I will use YOU in several of my new potions. And no one would ever be the wiser”
Both men laughed as Lucius came in the room. “It is almost time. How are you holding up?”
“Splendidly” answered Remus. Trying to sound as sarcastic as Severus.
“You were almost convincing with that.” Lucius smirked at the two. Then, his face fell a little. It's not that he isn't happy for his friend. He is. Very much so. He just wonders when he will have his turn with this kind of happiness.
When he noticed the other two exchange a look, he smiled at them both. Nothing would ruin this day for the one man he had always been able to call friend. And the young man that had quickly wormed his way into his long forgotten heart. Even if he was an annoying brat at times.
“Luc...” Severus started.
“It is alright, my friend. One day, I will know such happiness. As much as I loved Narcissa, I always knew she was not my ONE. I do miss being held though.”
“Lucius, Harry did tell you that if you didn't discover them by today, he would tell you who it is.” Severus tried to console his friend.
“I know. But, this day is for the two of you. I've waited this long....I can wait a little longer.” Lucius said as he smiled again. It not quite reaching his silver eyes. “Shall we then?” he asked as he opened the door for the others.
10:45am
As the three made their way out of the castle, they noticed a commotion at the front gate.
“What in all that is sacred is that about?” Lucius asked offhandedly. Nothing was going to ruin this day for his friend.
“I am quite sure I have no idea” Severus dully replied.
They watched as one of the guards came up to them.
“Forgive me, Sirs. But there is someone at the gate demanding to be let in. The individual has no mark but is insistent on being let in because of some other type of invitation.” the guard explained in one breath. Fear in his eyes as he looked at each man; the Dark Lord's second, the Heir's godfather and life-mate.
“Well, we shall just have to see about this. Nothing will flaw this day!” Lucius said as he grabbed Remus and pulled him along toward the gate. “You stay here. Just in case it is a trap” he said to Severus.
Remus was having trouble keeping up with the blond as he strode towards the gate. Until, for some reason, the man suddenly stopped and then started walking again at a more sedate pace. As they arrived in front of the guest, Remus expected a haughty Lucius to let loose. Instead, the man just stood there. Looking through the gate. As the werewolf tried several times to get Lucius' attention, he noticed the look on his face. He immediately turned around and ran back to where Severus was pacing; waiting for them to return.
“What's wrong? What happened? Why is Lucius still over there?”
“I don't know who that is but Lucius has the same look you get when you look at Harry” Remus replied with a smirk. Harry was definitely a Slytherin!
“Oh well. Everything seems to be in order now. Let's go.” Severus stated and nodded towards the gate at his brother's confused look. Lucius was escorting the guest towards the gardens where the wedding was being held.
11:00am
The brothers made their way to the garden and went to stand in front of their lord. Who smiled at Severus before looking up to see a wondrously beautiful thing.
Ginny was nervous as she stood at the beginning of the aisle. Harry had found a spell in the Kin Annal that enabled her to attend the wedding yet remain safe in her chambers. A projection of her consciousness was manifested and controlled by her thoughts. Much like a ghost; solid but not. Safe.
Meanwhile..........................................................
10:30am
“Very handsome Harry. Severus won't know what hit him” Hermione told him
“Do you think he'll change his mind?” Harry asked
“Oh please! Not a chance. You two are meant for each other.”
“Good. I really didn't think so but needed to hear it from someone else.” Harry smiled at his best friend.
“Today is going to be perfect. All our friends and family are here to celebrate our joining together.” Harry got a sly look in his eye as a smirked graced his mouth.
There was a knock on the door and Draco entered looking handsome in his pale blue robes.
“Uh oh. What did you do? And don't say nothing. I know that look too well, brother dear.”
“A promise is a promise” was all Harry would say as the other two pestered him with all kinds of questions. After checking the time and mumbling something under his breath, Harry jumped up and headed for the door.
10:45am
As he opened the door, he turned to his friends, “Well, are you just gonna sit there, or come and find out?”
Harry made sure to keep his pace slow, yet fast enough as to not be late for his own wedding. Ahead he saw Severus, Remus and Lucius go through the main entrance to the grounds and slowed even more. With a wave of his hand, the front wall disappeared.
“What just happened? Where is the wall and why are they just standing there?” Draco asked. “Must be trouble. Father is taking Remus but not Uncle Sev.” he said as he turned worried eyes towards Harry; who stood there with a knowing look.
All three slowly approached the invisible wall and watched as the proud blonde suddenly stopped, then picked up a more sedate pace before arriving at the gate and just standing there. The friends watched as Remus tried to get the other man's attention and failed before getting a grin on his face and returning to a few feet in front of them on the other side of the door to where Severus was. Having a brief talk and then continuing on to the gardens.
“Yes!! I knew it would work.” Harry whispered as he waved his hand again. Making the walls visible again. Looking at his awestruck companions, he smirked and said “It's magic time!!!” and linked their arms and headed out to the gardens.
Tom could hardly believe that he was standing at the end of the aisle his nephew was about to walk down to bond having a conversation with his life-mate in person. Well, as in person as an astral projection can be. Ginny was even more beautiful “in person” than she was in their dream meetings. As they had been talking, she had gradually moved closer to him. Just a little closer.....
“Ewww, you two get a room!”
“I have you know, we have a whole house.” Tom hissed out at his nephew, frustrated that he interrupted at the most inopportune time.
“Hey....you guys will have plenty of time for that later. Now, I have to get bonded to Severus and you, my dearest uncle, must perform the ceremony.” Harry said with an apologetic smile.
“Very well, ASP. Let's get this over with!” Tom said with a playful smack to the back of Harry's head as he headed to his place in front of all the guests. Nodding to Severus and his brother, he scanned the room and found Lucius. When he spotted the blond, he quickly looked to the brothers standing in front of him.
Severus and Remus, who were both already in their proper places for the bonding, both grinned at the seeing the Dark Lord walking briskly toward them taking his place once again. They both smirked and gave a slight shrug at the very confused Dark Lord after he saw Lucius.
“If everyone would please stand” Tom asked before he began the bonding ceremony that would join his great-nephew and only living relative to his oldest and dearest friend.
“As Uralt Prime, I, Tom Marvolo Riddle, will be performing the Aeternalis lubere. All present must be in complete agreement with this bond. Therefore, anyone opposed will be asked to leave.
11:15 am
The headmaster of Hogwarts sits in his chair at the head table in the Dining Hall, which is nearly deserted as it a Saturday, trying to enjoy his lunch. A task that was proving very difficult with the way his mind has been so preoccupied with the information he has learned over the last several months. He has to find some way to get Tom and Harry back under his
control. Every meeting of the Order has less and less members. Not only was he losing the support of his followers; he was losing the support of the public. THAT is something that is not acceptable. If the people lose their faith and belief in the defeater of Grindlewald, he would lose all the power he had over them.
'What is going on that most of the staff and several students are gone today? And why is it that none of my informants can answer this for me?' Albus wondered as he lifted his goblet to take a drink. As soon as it touched his lips, the castle started to shake and tremble as if an earthquake were happening. Dumbledore did his best to calm the mass of panicking students and teachers. He raised his wand to cast a spell at the castle to help stabilize it when the whole building started to glow in a rainbow of colors that flashed as quickly as they appeared. Something major has happened in the wizarding world.
Noon
“Wow Harry. That was the most amazingly beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life!”
“Doesn't say much considering we aren't even twenty.”
“Yes, well, that doesn't mean I haven’t seen wondrous things in my short life”
“I see wondrous things every time I look at you.” Harry grinned at the blush that spread across Hermione's face as Remus put his arms around her from behind. “Oh, and welcome to the family. Officially.” Remus smiled as he released his almost wife and hugged his Godson/brother-in-law.
“If you would ever so kindly release my bonded, I would greatly appreciate it.” It was Harry's turn to blush as Severus joined them after a brief chat with Tom. “Harry, there are many others waiting for us to leave the alter” Severus took Harry's hand and kissed the back of it and smiled at the shy look he got in return. “And you have some explaining to do” The dark man added as he glanced to where Lucius was.
“Congratulations Brother of mine” Remus said with a smile as he embraced his brother. “And relax. I was only welcoming him to the family. He is completely and totally yours now. No one can ever change that.”
Tom played the good host and head of the family as he greeted and entertained all his guests while Harry and Severus did the happy couple thing. Holding hands and sharing kisses when no one was in their faces talking to or congratulating them. Several times he could be seen holding and caressing the silver locket that always hung around his neck. More than once, the most feared dark lord was seen talking to himself. Or so it seemed to those that did not know about the portrait in the locket. This time in particular, Tom looked as if he were arguing with Voldemort. Noticing this, “Ginny” walked over to him and asked if there was anything she could help him with.
“No, precious. We were just having a dis....”
“Hello Ginerva. How are you doing today? Would you mind if....”
“NO!!! I told you NO, Tamah” Tom said forcefully.
“I think it will be a good idea if we do, Tom” the tiny portrait argued.
The two continued to argue while Ginny stood there wondering what the hell had the two siblings at each other throats.
“Hey, hey hey! Why don't you two tell me what the problem is and I will see if I can help you out. Family should not fight like this.” The redhead suggested with her friendliest smile in place.
“I do not think that you should bother yourself with what is going on between us” Tom said in his most polite voice.
“Did you really just say that to me?” Ginny was completely dumbstruck by all this. Just last night during their “meeting”, Tom was saying how he wished they could have a more normal relationship. The kind most couples have where they share everything with each other. Including important decisions. Now, she was beginning to wonder just how sincere he really was. At this line of thought, her fire surfaced.
“How dare you? Who exactly do you think you are talking to? You have no right to tell me what or who I should bother myself with. You say you wish we had a “normal” relationship....but you won't even talk to me outside the bedroom!!!!” Ginny hissed. She was furious but she was not going to ruin this day for her brother!
“Ginerva, please contain yourself” Tom glanced around to see if anyone had overheard her outburst. As he did, he met glowing emerald eyes.
'What did you do?' was sent through the link he shared with his nephew.
'I was having a dispute with Tamah and she asked about what to see if she could help us resolve it'
'What did you say to her to put her in such a state? I can feel her anger. It hasn't been this bad since she found out what he who cannot be named was doing to me behind my back'
Tom cringed. He knew what a sensitive subject bringing up the former Weasley. 'I simply said that I didn't think she should concern herself with what was going on between us'
He heard a VERY furious “WHAT” in his head and an instant later, Harry was standing in front of him. 'How did he get across the room so fast?' Tom wondered.
Harry quickly put his arms around Ginny while glaring at Tom. 'What in the hell was so important between you two that you would say something like that to the woman you love?'
'Tamah wants to spend time with Ginny. Just the two of them. Alone. In her room.' Tom sent as he hung his head in shame.
'We have found a way for you two to be together. I see no harm in a little “girl talk”. Give me the locket.'
Under normal circumstances, Tom would have refused. After actually voicing what was wrong, he realized how immature it was to keep his sister from getting to know the woman he loved. Only because she would get to do it person.
“Please accept my most sincere apology.” Tom had tears in his eyes as he pulled the locket from his neck. All the while focused on the tear stained face of the young lady that owned his heart.
Ginny curtly nodded her acceptance of the apology while Tom handed Harry the locket from around his neck. Who then called Dobby to him.
“Give this to Ginny, please.” Harry requested of his friend.
“Of course, Harry Potter, sir!” and then he was gone.
“Now, come on. It's time to find Lucius.” Harry said with a grin as he led the group to find said man.
Harry could see the head of silver blond hair on the other side of the garden. Hand in hand, and with many followers, the newlyweds casually made their way over to the man and his guest.
Lucius spotted the group heading his way.
“Now, my sweet. There is a rather large group of people, including Harry, heading this way. Don't be alarmed. They can be slightly overwhelming. Especially the redheads.” the man gently warned his companion.
After he spoke, the woman turned to properly greet everyone that was now only feet away. When she was fully facing the group, she noticed one of the grooms stop in his tracks with his mouth agape in a very uncharacteristic way for him.
“Hello again, Severus. Congratulations. It was a beautiful ceremony” She politely greeted.
“What the hell are you doing here?” The twins asked not very kindly. There were several gasps and a couple growls at the revelation of who she was.
“How are you Aunt Tuney? I'm so glad you found it.” Harry greeted as he hugged his aunt. Then turned to his bonded. “She is here because I invited her. She is blood of my blood. My mother requested by means of her journal, that she be present should I ever marry. So, here she is. That and I did make a promise to Lucius!” Harry stated matter of factually with his best grin.
“I know what you, Severus and most likely you others, think of me. And I can't say as I blame you. I would personally think ill of me as well. However, it is Harry who matters here. When he found out about his mother, he came to see me. We talked about everything. He performed some kind of magic and found that there was a love juice or something that was being used on me for me to stay with Vernon. I could never love a man like that. In addition, he found out that I was under some kind of spell that compelled me to dislike him and follow what my husband said pertaining to our treatment of him. I so dearly loved my sister. She loved me as well. Before what was your first year at that school, she made me her blood sister. In the regular way. And then with a drink and spell before your last one. You know, Severus, she came to me before she died. I had hoped to see you today. Of course, you know it was a shock that Harry was binding to you. Those days are not forgotten to me. I was always jealous of her magic. Not put-off by it. I wanted some myself. Anyway, Lily knew something was going to happen to her very soon. She brought me a letter and made me promise to give it to “the one who told me”. Which of course, meant you Severus. You were the one who told her that she was a witch. So, Harry has forgiven me and we have started to build the relationship we always should have had. Here you are, Severus.”
Everyone just stared at the woman for a few moments after she finished speaking and handed the letter to Severus. Harry started to giggle so everyone turned their attention to him.
“Sorry. It seems Aunt Petunia tends to babble when she gets nervous. Before any of you ask; yes, I went to talk to her when I found out about what Dumbledore had done. Yes, I checked her for spells and potions. Someone was spiking her tea that she special orders with a love potion, a very strong one for a long time judging from the amount of time and magic it took to get it out of her system. After her system was cleared of everything, we spent days talking. I'd cleansed all the food and drink in the house from all the various potions and spells that were placed on or in it. She decided she wanted to leave Vernon after a few weeks with no potion to compel her. I set her up in one of the houses I own under the care of a Riddle house elf. She is handling things very well. Her divorce will be done in a couple months. Oh and when I went to see her the first time is when I noticed the band of magic that linked her to her life-mate and it matched the one Lucius had. Then I knew something was funny about the muggle family my mother had been placed with. Muggles don't have that much magic in them. But squibs can with a strong enough bloodline. The Evans family have become squibs due to magic being stolen so often from them. It couldn't replenish to pass down the line. So, yeah. Welcome her to the family and get back to the celebration!!” Harry said with a mock glare to his loved ones; with a hint of real to let them know now was not the time for more questions.
The rest of the day went perfectly. Everyone ate, drank and spent good quality time with the ones they loved. Throughout the merriment, couples were seen snuggling up together on benches in the gardens and barely moving on the dance floor as they swayed to and fro, people caught up with those they hadn't seen in a long time and got to know those they had just met. An all around good time celebrating life, love and happiness.
