H.J. Potter-Diggory
Albus gestured with hand for the others to follow him down the hallway. He asked, “Shall we?” Harry and Cedric both took a deep breath as they shared a knowing and nervous glance with the other. Harry cleared his throat and said, “Yeah, let’s do this the sooner I get used to the last name Potter-Diggory then the better I’ll feel about this whole situation.”
Minerva asked, “Do have the rings, Mr. Diggory?” Cedric replied, “Yes, I do.” He took out a set of matching platinum wedding bands that had a tiny ruby incrusted into the centre. Harry eyed them approvingly, which Cedric noticed and silently revelled in a job well done on his part. They had belonged to his grandparents on his mother’s side of the family. His grandfather’s be more precise as his mother was born to two fathers, having never had a biological mother.
Albus led them to Sirius’s office and once inside he took hold of the ceremonial dagger that was resting on the glass top of the desk. The dagger was pure white gold, encrusted in rubies, diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and an amber coloured stone.
Minerva picked up an official looking document as Cedric handed the two wedding bands to Albus, who placed them down upon the desk in front of him nearby in order to retrieve them at a moment’s notice due to the pace of the blood ritual being a somewhat fast paced arrangement.
Harry asked, “So how does this blood ceremony and document work exactly?” Albus answered before any of the others could. He said, “Harry this document will not be signed with a quill and ink, no, it shall require you and Mr. Diggory to cut your left thumbs on the dagger I am holding. Then you must press the pad of your thumb onto the document on the line where your individual names would have gone on a document that was none blood binding in nature.”
Albus added, “Once you have carefully created a print the parchment will start to glow a golden colour and will continue to glow brighter as you make your vows. They will consist of you both saying, I whoever hereby declares I will take you whoever to be my lawfully wedded spouse and life partner for as long as we both shall live”
Minerva continued, “Then you and Mr. Diggory will place a wedding band onto each other’s left ring fingers before Albus will take the dagger and will make a small cut across your left palms.” She added after a brief pause, “Then you will clasp your left hands together and say, I blind my life, blood, magic, soul, body and mind to you for all eternity I declare and promise my magic will never harm or take your life.
Remus went on from where Minerva had left off, “Then your palms with glow both golden and silver before the light will disappear into your palms and the cuts you made will heal completely, which in turn means yours and Cedric’s end of the ceremony is complete after a kiss is exchanged.”
Sirius concluded, “Then I along with Remus, Tonks, Amos, Lara, Albus, and Minerva will cut our right thumbs on the dagger, placing our own blood prints to the document. The blood will glow silver instead of golden as we declare how we have witness this joining, how we bless it and approve. That’s all that is going to happen Harry I promise.”
Harry looked pale and asked, “Exactly how blinding are these kinds of ceremonies and why do the Ministry require us to take part in a blood bonding, because that is exactly what this is, that much I can understand?” Cedric asked, “Yes, why? It sounds rather drastic actually.” He added, “Don’t get me wrong, I do understand that our world is at risk of dying out in the next couple of decades or so due to most purebloods wanting to produce heirs only with each other. You’d think they would use a contract with some kind of hex and not blood magic.”
Albus asked Cedric, “How much do you know about this law Cedric?” Cedric replied, “My parents seem reluctant to tell me much of anything. Dad says I’ll only want to commit murder against Fudge if I was aware.” Amos grimaced and said, “Trust me son you will as will Harry and any other wizard and witch this ridiculous law applies to.” Lara added, “It is barbaric and extremely intrusive for all parties involved and is not something I recommend entering into lightly. I do not by any means agree with this form of bond and marriage.”
Albus revealed, “Your father is right Cedric about how you’ll want to commit such an act, as you see Cedric, this is not the first time a Minister or a legal Ministry official has felt the need to pass this law, in fact the last time it was made compulsory was four centuries ago.”
Harry asked, “But why bring it back now after so many centuries without it?” Minerva answered this time, “Because Mr. Potter, witches and wizards like today in this day and age, they also refused to marry and start families outside of their own family circles or other pure-blooded families. They believed it was wrong and immoral to supposedly taint a perfectly pure bloodline with muggle born or half-blood ancestries.”
Remus continued, “That pathetic belief has unfortunately not ceased, in fact, it is considered to be more problematic today than it had been four hundred years ago Harry.” Sirius added, “If we don’t start putting our stupid and small minded beliefs behind us then the magical race will surely die out within two or four decades at the most.”
Albus continued on, “As for the reason Minister Fudge is insisting upon a blood bonding ritual, because it will prevent each couple involved from committing adultery and producing heirs with another who is not their husband or wife.”
Lara continued, “It means to say for example that if either one of you were to get another who was not your spouse pregnant, it would make you both infertile, meaning it would wipe out the Potter and Diggory bloodlines entirely.”
Sirius continued from where Lara had left off, “Ultimately meaning, that if you both complete this ritual you will be combining the Potter and Diggory family bloodlines for all eternity. No matter whom your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so forth marry. The Potter and Diggory blood and DNA will always be present and extremely dominating.”
Remus looked sympathetic as he commented, “That’s not all, trust me, it gets worse.” Harry and Cedric both looked like they were going to be violently ill. Harry all but yowled, “How the hell can this get anymore worse than it already is Moony?” Remus replied, “Blood bonding rituals can be extremely confining, confining in the sense that you will be able to read each other’s thoughts speaking telepathically, even empathically, meaning you can feel and sense each other’s emotions as if they were your own.”
Amos looked troubled and extremely ill as he said, “The older spouse will live for as long as the youngest of the couple does due to one not possibly being able to survive if the other does not. Your lives will be linked together so deeply, that one half of the bond cannot possibly survive without its mate.”
Tonks looked deeply disturbed as she spoke for the first time since greeting Harry earlier on. “They will go insane within a day and die merely hours later an extremely painful death, death likes of what no one would ever want to willing wish upon another, never mind actually think of.”
Remus added, “Which is why I am glad I married Tonks before this law came about. She does not need to be bonded to a werewolf in such an irreversible fashion.” Tonks sighed and said, “We will manage somehow Remus, we do not know that the baby I currently carry will be born with your condition. The healer said there is a fifty five percent chance that he or she won’t, meaning we’ll worry when the times comes.”
Sirius concluded, “I’m just relieved Sev has agreed to marry me on Christmas day.” Sirius was dating the most unexpected individual anyone ever imagined he would want to date. He was dating Severus Snape, childhood enemy. He was going to complete the same blood bonding with Severus as Harry was about to with Cedric.
He had apologised to Severus after he and the Potions Master ended up forced to work together with each other, along with Remus and Tonks on order missions back in Harry’s fifth year. They had been dating for three months, ever since Severus had managed towards the end of Harry’s sixth year to forgive Sirius, if not forget.
Sure their relationship was being overly rushed, more so then either wizard would have liked. The fact of the matter was that neither Sirius nor Severus wanted the other to marry someone else. They both knew with time and patients that they could truly grow to love each other and did not want to allow someone else the chance to experience that.
Albus asked, “Are you two still willing to take part in this ceremony?” Cedric answered first, “Of course there is no way I am going to let Malfoy or any Death Eater enter into a marriage with Harry. Harry and I may have not been lovers or been overly close in the past.” He concluded, “I did not know of the rules or what this ceremony entailed before now, but if the blood ceremony entails all of that then I cannot nor will I let Harry endure that with Malfoy of all people. He of all people is least deserving of such a cruel and sick fate.”
Harry finally added, looking extremely angry and ill, “I still want to go through with it, especially if I have a choice of marrying Cedric or Draco Malfoy, or anyone else who just wants me for my fame, then let me be the first to tell you this there is no decision to make or any contest. I’ll willingly marry Cedric, more than willingly.”
Albus nodded gravely and said, “Very well, will both of you please come forth and hold out your left hands?” Harry and Cedric both looked ill, but exchanged an almost reassuring glance before stepping forwards holding out their left hands in front of Albus. Albus said as he took Harry left hand, “I must warn you both, that once we start this is irreversible there will be no stopping or going back, I am afraid there is only forwards.” Harry and Cedric nodded as did Albus.
Albus made a small cut on the pad of Harry’s thumb, making Harry wince slightly at the slight sting. Albus took Cedric’s hand and repeated the same process and Cedric also winced as he felt a brief sting, barely resisting the urge to place his thumb inside of his mouth.
Minerva then brought the document forth and placed it down upon the desk in front of them. Cedric went first lightly pressing his thumb down onto the parchment where Minerva instructed him. He proceeded to make his vow in a clear even and firm voice, “I Cedric Diggory hereby declare I will take you Harry James Potter to be my lawfully wedded spouse and life-partner for as long as we both shall live.” He then watched as his blood print started to glow golden, becoming brighter and brighter as he finished his vow.
Harry went next pressing his thumb carefully to the parchment where Minerva indicated. Harry let out a deep and weary sigh as he spoke his vow. “I Harry James Potter hereby declare I will take you Cedric Diggory to be my lawfully wedded spouse and life-partner for as long as we both shall live.” Harry then watched his own thumb print start to glow golden, becoming brighter and brighter by the second.
Cedric accepted the wedding band intended for Harry and took hold of Harry’s left hand before slowly slipping the band over and down his left ring finger, where it immediately became slightly warm, magically resizing to fit Harry perfectly.
Albus handed Harry the other ring and Harry took hold of Cedric’s left hand and slipped the band over and down onto his ring finger. Cedric kept his hand still as the ring warmed and adjusted to fit his finger.
Once the rings were in place, Albus placed a cut with the dagger across their left palms. It stung a lot more than it had with their thumbs causing both to wince as they clasped their hands together making sure the cuts were in complete contact so that their blood could mix.
Cedric and Harry said together, “I blind my life, blood, magic, soul, body, and mind to you for all eternity. I declare and promise my magic will never harm or take your life.” Harry and Cedric gasped as a strong and powerful pull shot through them as their clasped hands started to glow bright golden and silver.
Cedric and Harry unclasped their hands when Albus told them to he then turned to Cedric and gestured to Harry. Cedric understood exactly what he was to do next as did Harry, who blushed slightly. Cedric was also blushing slightly as he leaned forwards and placed a gentle kiss upon Harry’s lips before pulling back after a couple of seconds.
Both had to stifle a gasp at the tingling they felt from the brief contact of their lips. They eyed each other in wonderment, having never felt any like they had just experienced. It felt more right than any kiss they had ever had with anyone else and both had a feeling their new bond had nothing to do with it either.
Both turned to face everyone else, blushing brightly as they saw everyone was smiling gently at them. That whole process had been intense, leaving both young wizards reeling, everyone knew it to; you just had to observe the two stood in front of them to be able to see it.
Harry and Cedric stood together, silently watching and waiting as the others came forth to complete and seal the document with their own blood and promise. Sirius, Amos, Lara, Tonks, Minerva, and then Albus cut their thumb. Remus came forth last, due to the fact they had to be careful that they did not end up exposed to his blood for obvious reasons.
The seven of them stepped towards the document, creating a blood thumbprint where Minerva indicated. Then one by one they said their own part. Sirius went first followed by the others. “I Sirius Black declare that I have witnessed this union and therefore give my full and uncompromised blessing.”
Albus finally turned to face Harry and Cedric as the document started to glow even brighter than before. It was not just golden, but now also combined with Silver. “You are now spouses and life-partners.” He turned to the other occupants in the room and announced, “I present to you Mr. Harry James Potter-Diggory and Mr. Cedric Diggory.”
The document immediately ceased glowing and lay still on top of the glass desktop before seconds later it disappeared in a flash of golden and silver, its destination being the sorting offices of the ministry department of marriages, births and deaths. Harry and Cedric then felt a warm tingling sensation on their palms and thumbs. They looked down at their hands to discover the cut made to their palms and thumbs had healed completely leaving only a slight trace of dried blood behind.
Sirius, Remus and Tonks stepped forth and congratulated the new couple. Amos and Lara gushed over their new son in law, before Albus and Minerva gave the couple their own congratulations and well wishes.
Sirius picked up a camera off his desk and asked Harry and Cedric to stand in a certain position before taking a couple of photos. Sirius made a mental note to get Severus to make the potion required to make the pictures move once developed. Having made the mental note, he magically set the timer to take some shots of the group of nine together.
After they had finished taking photos, Sirius took Harry to one side, while the others left the office and waited in the kitchen. Sirius smiled gently at his godson and said, “Well, who would have thought it, not even seventeen yet and already married before your ole godfather. Oh well, it will be my turn at Christmas.”
Harry sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He said, “Sweet Merlin, Cedric Diggory.” Sirius let out a bark of laughter at the sight of the stunned and incredulous expression on the younger wizard’s face, his tone of voice matched perfectly. He chuckled as he commented teasingly, “You better believe it, Harry Potter-Diggory.”
Sirius took hold of his godson’s left hand and examined his wedding band. Sirius smiled and said, “The kids got excellent taste, I’ll give him that. A platinum band paired with a Gryffindor red ruby, absolutely bloody beautiful.”
Harry smirked deviously and drawled, “Fucking Malfoy, love to see the ferret try to get his hands on me now. I wish I could see his face when his father informs him that his request for my hand in marriage as been rejected, due to the fact you can’t have the hand of someone who is already married.”
Sirius chuckled knowingly and sniggered as he said, “Merlin’s saggy balls, could you imagine being a fly on the wall and getting to witness that conversation?” Harry laughed out a loud as Sirius led him out of the office and down stairs to meet up with the others, where Severus would just be arriving.
