A/N/::

I do not own Harry Potter or any of its affiliates, nor do I profit from this body of work, because I did not write Harry Potter. I am simply a fan who likes to imagine what if I was the author, JK Rowling, if I was, it might have looked a lot like this….

Chapter One: Meeting at the Abode of Fate

It was a cold, dark and windy late November night. The weather was such most people would have chosen to stay indoors. Late autumn leaves shriveled and brown, blew off porches and lawns and flew in the cold bitter northern wind.

Earlier in the day, folks seemed to sense that Godric Hollow was about to have the first storm of winter, and had scurried about getting done whatever needed to be done before the first snow of the year arrived.

Then as if some unspoken cue had sounded, they all returned to their homes and lit huge fires to ward off the coming chill. All were tucked nicely in their warm homes, all that is, except for two young women who made their way on a lazy path along a river towards a old ram- shackled grey cottage.

The grey cottage's roof shingles were in definite need of repair and the shutters seemed to appear slightly off kilter, giving the cottage the appearance of learning over ever so slightly to the left. It had a rickety white picket fence, paint peeling off, and a white gate, in the same state of disrepair.

All around the yard enclosed by the fence were garden gnomes and various baubles, old potted plant pots and various old manky boots.

The Muggle folk of the town of Godric Hollow often spread nasty little rumors about the place, " A plethora of cats and dogs and owls live there, all of them owned by the oldest woman alive today, who by the way folks rarely see these days. Why she could be dead for all we know". It was a place that normal Muggle folk would consider unsafe… a place where the parents of the children told them never to go near or you shall get a thrashing, and the children told scary stories about it. In short it was a place nobody in the Muggle world would ever think of visiting.

A passerby might have thought it odd to see two young women giggling and laughing and patting their still flat tummies as if something big and alive were obviously there, and walking towards this odd looking cottage, if any of them had been out in such ghastly weather.

If they had been watching they would have seen the one women stop just as they reached the beginning of the white fence and turn to the other young woman and say,

"Lily are you really sure about this? And why all the secrecy… I mean why not tell James and Frank? What would be the harm in that?" the round-faced woman with short hair questioned.

"Now Alice, we have been through this over and over! Please do not chicken out on me now! I told you… We have to keep this a secret because of the times we are living in. No one can know or both our families will be targeted by Him. 1. One us must survive… and 2. We know how the men feel… James has chosen Sirius and I have chosen you, and Frank, well he thinks that such a choice may have consequences we are not prepared for, but Alice, we both know how we feel. Our bond is stronger than friendship; always has been.

When Petunia turned on me, my heart broke into pieces; it was you who helped me mend it. In every way you are my sister, more than the one I had at birth. Alice I know you feel the same way… you have told me so.

This Sang-Magia Deligati Vow is the only way to get all we want. The only way to assure that we will be able to share the essence of our nature with our unborn children is to do this now… should something horrible happen… should Tom Riddle get into power …" ,the beautiful woman with thick, dark red hair that fell to her shoulders and bright green distinctive almond-shaped eyes allowed the sentence to trail off. "Besides doesn't seem like this is fated, I mean, to find out we are both pregnant at the same time, the same hour? I tell you fate is involved in this somehow, it was meant to be Alice."

The woman named Alice looked down and stated with a voice barely above a whisper, "Lily I know that we have plenty of reason to do this for the sake of our babies", she said nervously patting her belly, "But maybe Frank is right… What if there are unforeseen consequences we are not aware of? After all this is some the oldest and deepest magic in our world and this kind of bond can never be undone. This ceremony is our magic in its most pure form. Can we really take such a step without James and Frank's approval?

The ginger- haired woman know as Lilly replied, "Alice, do you think of me as a sister or not?"

Alice replied, "Yes, Lily of course you know I do."

"Then why do you hesitate, take the final step and bind our families Blood and Magic forever." Lily's eyes and words pleaded, "Whatever consequences come we will handle it together… as a family."

"Lily", Alice said, I will do this but only if you promise to tell the guys what we have done!" Alice's face became firm and resolute once again.

"Ok, Ok if that is what you want, but come on now, Wyrd awaits!"

The two women continued on towards the small cottage. Standing at the gate they opened it and were slightly startled to hear it groaning loudly. Suddenly the cottage door opened and a very old looking woman with so many wrinkles that you were reminded of a raisin, with smallish black eyes that seemed to disappear into her face, appeared leaning upon her walking stick, and came onto the porch.

'Indeed the stories were true then', Lily thought,' Wyrd was certainly not of English blood. Her face was as pale as snow, maybe she was Norwegian, or Swedish, or Icelandic, someone further North.' Presently she began to speak.

"Morning Ladies, come, come in, and have a mug of Hot Butter Beer."

The elderly lady opened her door wide to reveal a warm fire burning. The two women entered the room and warmed themselves and drank the hot Butter Beer and accepted some crumpets. Once they were all tucked in and satisfied and warm again. They old woman leaned forward.

"So tell me, I received your owl stating that you wished to see me , but your parchment left no reason why you wished to visit… come on now, out with it!" the wizened elderly lady asked.

The ginger- haired woman leaned in towards the older woman, "Madame Wyrd, we have a request, we ask you to be our Bonder for the Sang-Magia Deligati Vow."

The old woman looked shocked and surprised and leaned back, and emitting as squeaky squeal of shock while doing so.

"My dears", The elderly woman began, "such a thing has not been done in ages, what would ever prompt you to take such a drastic action?", she began. "Such a thing has not been done in my lifetime."

Lily's face lost is normal cheerful, soft look, "Madame Wyrd, can you do this thing or not?" she spoke through clenched teeth.

"Young lady you ask the wrong question really… I know the words and I have the magic as a Bonder... But it is a magic so old that I cannot guarantee the outcome or even what will happen once the words are spoken. Anything that may happen as a result is not my fault. Do you so swear it? She said.

A recording quill stood at the attention ready to write.

Lilly and Alice spoke together, "We solemnly swear that we will not hold Wyrd Norn in anyway responsible for the consequences of performing the duties of Bonder for the Sang-Magia Deligati Vow."

As they spoke the quill scribbled along the parchment recording their every word and then the ceremony continued.

"Ok" the elderly woman began," I am willing to perform the Sang-Magia Deligati Vow now.

The Adelphopoiesis ritual is so well known that even the Muggles have it in their history but not to the extent that the Wizarding World. Adelphopoiesis literally means brother –making, or in your case sister –making. This practice is recognized as a way to make a spiritual link between two people of the same sex… but we wizards go a step further, our Magic and psyches, yes even our blood are shared."

The elderly woman produced a long thin very sharp golden dagger from inside the pocket of her bizarre sundress and motioned for them to kneel. She kneeled in the bonder's position and waited for their palms. The two women placed their hands in the withered palms and each winced as the dagger cleanly sliced through the skin of their right palm. Them they took each other hand and held it firm.

The elderly woman began to speak her incantation loudly, as she touched her wand toward the place where the hands met and the blood flowed. A tiny violet flame shot from the wand and wound its way around the two women's' hands.

"Do you Lillian Potter and you Alice Longbottom vow that you are bound in spirit; that you will treasure each other's spirit as you do your own.

The two women looked into each other's eyes and knew that from this day forward they would never be able to think of themselves first, they would always think of the other first. Try as they might from this point on neither one of them could not look away from the other's eyes during the whole ceremony.

The elderly woman continued, "Do you both vow that you are bound in Mind?' at this a Indigo flame issued from her wand and wound a second path around their hands

"I do!" both women chimed in unison.

Both women looked at each other and for this moment they were sure exactly what the other was thinking…. ' that this had been a long time coming… that this was long overdue and that they were meant to be here right now making this vow!'

"From this day forward together you will face life's problems and work through both of your challenges." The woman began again, "and do you both vow that you are bound in voice?'

A Blue flame joined the other laying a fresh path next to the others…

"I do!" both women chimed in unison.

Warmth spread to their thoughts and they both knew that they could speak for the other and it would be just as true as if the other one had spoken it.

The woman continued, "… and do you both vows that you will move through life as if you share one heart?" a green flame intertwined itself among its brothers.

"I do!" both women chimed in unison.

Each woman felt a sense of how deeply they loved the woman before them and knew that whatever she loved would be deeply loved the other and whatever they hated would be hated by the other.

She continued, "And do you both vow that you will from this day forward be of one will."

And now a yellow Flame joined its sisters in binding their hands together.

Lilly and Alice felt a kind of tug in the stomachs as if a great tug of war were being waged. But eventually it stopped and they felt peace.

"Good… Good," , the elderly woman praised, " I have read that this is the most dangerous part the ceremony place the place of the will is where many cannot be made one… And now will you both vow that you will always look towards each other's pleasure and well- being even above your own."

"I do!" both women chimed in unison.

An orange Flame created it won path and joined the others encircling their hands…

… And that was when they felt a huge jump in their pelvic region and they began to cry out as if they were struck.

The elderly woman looked so alarmed that that it would have been comical had anyone been able to notice it.

"What's Happening?!" both women cried out in unison.

A brilliant wind that moved through the cottage living room and both women were being pulled towards each other stomach first. The wind picked them both up and the old woman had to stand to keep the wand that bound them together to the center of their hands.

"Is their anyway by chance that both of you are pregnant?" The elderly woman shouted trying to be heard above the roaring wind.

"Yes, we just found out today, we wanted to ensure that we had someone to care for our unborn children should either one of us die." Lilly and Alice spoke in unison.

" You should have told me this before we started, I would never have done this had I known… it has never been done before there is absolutely no way to know what this will do to your fetuses!" The old woman yelled exasperatedly. "Still the point of no return has been reached. To stop now would be disastrous… you had better let me finish. "

She continued, "from this day forward you will consider each other to be Blood of your blood, as if you have come from the same womb?'

"I do!" both women chimed in unison.

The effect was immediate, the blood flowing between their hands mingling between them began to boil, and the woman felt a warm sensation along with a sensation that could only be described as a kind of breathing, a sensation that something was leaving them and something was coming. It was a good sensation.

"Now you both bone and flesh sisters." The Bonder announced

For the first time they two woman looked down at their arms and saw a rainbow of flame holding them together. The Bonder lifted the wand away from the women's hands and said "Remember this day November the 8th 1980 I have witnessed this greatest of Unbreakable Vows the Vow of Sang-Magia Deligati.

The colors lasted for a short while and then they faded and eventually Alice and Lilly unclenched their hands and used their wands to heal the wounds leaving only the faintest of scars.

"You women risked a lot by not telling me you were both pregnant before I banded you. It remains to be seen what effect this will have on your unborn children. Keep in touch Please!"

They walked out of Wyrd's cottage only after promising that they would come round often. Both had intended to keep their promise, but neither did.

Unbeknownst to them at this time, events were about to occur that would keep them from being able to keep that promise, and rip them away from each other and their unborn children! For her sister Skuld was at work attempting to alter the fortunes of all they loved and cared about.
