Chapter 5

Seamus’ bonding to Colin was supposed to be a simple affair but when his cousin Fergus was arrested for assaulting the Longbottom heir and Bill. He was then named his grandfather’s undisputed heir.

As the son of pureblood joining blood with an heir added more pomp to their formerly subdued bonding.

Since Gideon had little idea of ceremonial bonding rituals he left the details up to his godmother Cedrella, Colin’s grandmother and Killian, Seamus’ grandfather.

Seamus’ grandfather had with Augusta’s help had Dean granted his father Caradoc Dearborn’s estate which would be held in trust for him until he turned seventeen. He had been emancipated so he could be one of Seamus’ witnesses.

A Lordship had increased his standing with Pavarti’s father Kamal and so their Bonding was set for early August.

Colin had shyly asked Harry and his adopted sister Mafalda.

Seamus had Dean and surprisingly Neville who had been emancipated in light of his upcoming bonding to Luna.

XoooooX

Colin’s grandmother Cedrella said loudly to begin, “As those blessed with magic, we do not have a physical structure as the churches of our Muggle Kindred with whom we share this land. We create a Circle, which through our magic and blessing becomes our sacred Temple to the Elements. The Earth is the floor, the stars are the roofs, and all of Nature becomes our witnesses.”

When Colin appeared on the lawn of Marcheness where the Bonding was held, Seamus’ grandfather Killian spoke, “The future consort is ready, and all are present, thus we sound the Mighty Conch Shell horn to summon the Four Directions and to welcome the Consort’s Party, which is to be led by fairies.”

Luna blew the conch shell that was painted with depictions of the Fae.

Killian continued, “This Procession represents the journey of the Consort to be in meeting his Lord to be, it represents the finding of two souls after much searching. This is the last journey alone that the Consort to be will take.”

Colin arrived and joined Seamus under an Arch created like a rainbow, the persons who entered with him weren’t exactly a surprise to all but it was to some.

Harry Potter-Malfoy and Colin’s sister Mal were the chosen witnesses?

Brecc nudged George, “That’s the Arch of 7 Blessings; purple to bless their souls, dark blue to bless their dreams; light blue to bless them with harmony; green to bless them with Love; yellow to bless them with strength and courage; orange to bless them with fertility; and red to bless them with passion and commitment.”

Lord O’Shanesey standing in front of them faces the guests, “In the name of the Magic that unites us as one people and those that came before. In the names of mighty ones of the Four Quarters, the rulers of the Elements; Blessed be this time and place, and we who are gathered here in this sacred place.””

Lady Weasley now turned; “We are all the children of the earth and the light. For thus do I bring for flame these sacred candles.” She flicked her wand and they lit. Colin’s grandmother continued, “ For the Consort and the Lord-to-be are in love and wish to make their vows in the way of the Ancients. As such they do not wish to be treated so two separate beings, they wish to be treated as one. This intention signifies thei intention to be more permanent then ‘Till Death do us part’, because it involves the ancient concept of soulmates. They believe this is a continuing relationship through the ages and through all subsequent incarnations. The Soulmate concept is a very ancient and seriously one in the beliefs of Wizard kind. Where it is said: ‘that to fulfill True Love, you must return together in the same time and place as your loved one. You must meet and know and remember so that you might love them again’.”

Lord O’Shanesey smiled at his grandson, “ Know that it is here that you begin you Journey of a Life Shared. You shall be Bound Together by the Vows of this Rite. Many are the years that you shall share if the fates be kind and countless shall the moons you will watch if you keep your vows and your sacred trust. Happy will many of your days. May the Keepers of the Winds of the East whisper Joy into your lives. May you take delight in each other’s smiles for all your days until you pass into the Veil. Share together Rainbows, Dreams and Morning joys. Let your love be as free as a Butterfly’s flight. May the Element of Air bless your minds and your dreams as a Bonded couple. May your wishes for the future be born upon the rising Incense smoke.”

Old O’Shanesey continued, “Above you are the stars and below you are the stones and as time passes remember: like a Star your love should be constant and like a stone your love should be firm. Be close and yet not too close. Possess one another and yet be understanding. Have patience each with the other, for the storms will come but they will pass quickly. Be free in giving affections and warmth. Make love often and always be sensuous to one another. Have no fear and let not the words or ways of the unenlightened give you unease. For you have been blessed by those who came before this day. While the forms are divided, by the souls be as one. Share sorrow with sorrow, joy with joy and love with love.”

Lady Weasley held out her hands in blessing, “Repeat after me: Beloved, I seek to know you and asked those that came before us that I be give the wisdom to see your true self and to love the mystery that you are. I will take joy in you; I delight in the taste of you. To me you are the whispering of the tides, the seduction of the summer’s heat. You are my friend, you are my lover; grow old and wise with me, and I’ll the same with you. The life before us is full of rainbows and sunsets. I have a willingness to share those thinks of sadness. I love you, I adore you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you and beyond that if I may.”

Neville took up the platter of bread and held it over his head before offering it to his friend

Seamus then broke the bread and fed it to Colin, showing that he would support his Bondmate always.

Mal took the chalice and held it up above her head before offering it to her adopted brother and his intended.

Colin then took the chalice of wine and shares with him, showing that he was giving himself to him.

Colin’s grandmother smiled, “Now for the Ancient Binding Ceremony in our Houses, the custom is that while facing each other, the couple place their right hands together and then their left hands together to form an infinity symbol, whilst a Cord is tied around their hands in a knot.” She raised her wand, “By knot of one the spell’s begun,” a silver cord bound them, “By knot of two, it binds the two” a light blue, “By knot of three all truth shall be,” then a dark blue, “By knot of four, it open’s love’s door,” green, “By knot of five, combined you’re alive,” the next was red, “By knot of six your souls I mix,” a purple cord tied them together “By knot of seven, as now so beyond the Veil,” an orange cord, “By knot of eight you have sealed your fates,” then yellow tied them, “By knot of nine, love sealed by divine wine.” and the final cord was gold.

Lord O’Shanesey asked, “Are there rings?”

Dean and Harry nodded.

Seamus’ grandfather gestured for them to step forward; the witnesses slipped the rings onto Seamus and Colin’s fingers despite the couple’s tied hands.

Old O’Shanesey continued, “By the exchange of these tokens of your love for one another, so are your lives interlaced. What one experiences, so shall the other. As honesty and love build, so will your bond strengthen and grow. The circle is a perfect figure, without beginning, without end and with no area of weakness. It is a symbol of the cycle of life, birth, death and rebirth. This shall serve as a physical reminder of your vows, and that all things begin, end and begin again, as the Fates decree. These rings shall serve to remind you that life goes on, that these moments pass. When you are engulfed in anger or in sadness, look at your hand and remember that the wheel turns forever onward, and it is love that turns the wheel.”

Cedrella took up his thought, “There is a lesson both in the hand and in the bonding ring.

The ring is worn on the fourth finger; in Numerology the number 4 stands for steadiness and endurance. The circle itself is all encompassing and inclusive. Your hand opens to receive and to give, clenches in frustration and anger, holds and soothes in times of sadness, and clutches in fear. With this hand are cities and sandcastles built, music player and poetry written. Into these hands was life given, and from these hands it will be taken. All the actions of your hand move in sympathetic rhythm with the Wheel of Life and with your destiny. Pleasure, pain, creation, destruction, giving and receiving are all within the power of your hand. As the ring symbolizes the cycle, so does that hand symbolize the power of actualization and creation. Let this ring remind you of the many Turns of the wheel through which you and your love shall pass, and may everything that is touched by your hand be touched also by love. So mote it be!”

Lord O’Shanesey raised a Sword as if in Blessing.

Brecc whispered, “That must be the O’Shanesey Family’s Ceremonial Wedding Sword.”

George was in awe at the Ceremony, “This is really nice…”

They were almost sad that they hadn’t decided for more ceremony.

Lord O’Shanesey then laid the sword at their feet; Seamus picked his pregnant lover up and carried him over the Sword.

“This is to represent the severing of the past and the stepping into the future together as one.” Old O’Shanesey informed the crowd of well-wishers.

Septimus’ wife smiled, “Now I shall bless them once more,” sprinkling Rose Petals over their tied wrists.

“Love one another, but make not a bond of love, let it be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill one another’s cup, but drink not from the same cup. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone. Even as the strings of a lute are alone, though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of life can contain your hearts. Stand together, yet not too near together, for the pillars of a villa must stand apart, the oak and the Cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”

“Now the Bonding contract,”

Percy stepped forward with the Bonding contract, while Harry and Dean held out quills.

Seamus and Colin signed the contract, magic leapt from the parchment entwining around their wrists with silver and gold chains causing the bonding cords to glow before sinking into their veins.

Seamus’ grandfather father held out his wand as Lucius sealed the scroll, " May I introduce for the first time Seamus Patrick and Colin Arcturus O’Shanesey. Let us bless the couple…"

"As it is written…so let it be…" the chorus was taken up with raised wands that showered the couple with gold and silver sparks.

Ron and Ginny had refused to come but Gideon dragged them anyway, he wouldn’t leave them home.

They would stand together this day even if he had to put them both under silencing charms, which he did much to Arthur’s embarrassment.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
