-Soulmates-
A quick note about the story before it starts up...
The two couples, upon recognising that they are Soulmates, have to kiss, in order to get recognised as Soulmates, then, once they have kissed, the male most undertake oral stimulation on the female partner, then the female must orally stimulate the male. This isn't written down in any in-story books, but once they have kissed, the couple gets urges to complete the actions that are mentioned. This is in order to seal it all and make it so they are together.
Most Soulmated couples, in this storyline, are bound through prophecy, such as James and Lily Potter, Harry and Pansy, Hermione and Neville, Godric and Rowena, along with several other couples in the past, as well as the future. Because of this the couples have a soul bond, meaning that if one dies, the other one dies within 24 hours. Another advantage of being soulmates is that they share compatible magic with each other.
Each of the soul bonding rituals mean that any pre-existing betrothal contracts become null and void, with any bride price or dowry paid becoming refundable at all times.
Anyway, on with the story...
-Soulmates–
The Hogs Head Tavern, Hogsmeade Village, Scotland
14th May 1980
Albus Dumbledore was fed up with everything. He had just interviewed Sybill Trelawney, the great-great-granddaughter of celebrated Seer Cassandra Trelawney, for the post of Divination teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He remembered that she had told him "One does not parade the fact that one is All-Knowing. I frequently act as though I am not possessed of the Inner Eye, so as not to make others nervous.' Getting ready to leave the interview, as he hadn't believed her to be a viable candidate for the post of Professor, he noticed that Trelawney had stiffened with her eyes misting over.
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have the power the Dark Lord knows…And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…He and the Flower in the Snake House will merge to become soul mates, turning light and dark to gray…For he shall follow in the footsteps of his ancestor, with the Green Lord and the Queen of Books as his right hand, the two soulmated couples will help him win the war…" Sybill Trelawney said, not in her usual ethereal, mystic voice, but in a harsh, hoarse tone.
Coughing, seemingly having something wrong with her throat, she sat back in her chair, noticing the concerned look on the face of Albus Dumbledore. "Is something wrong dear?"
Albus rushed her up to Hogwarts, in order to keep her hidden from Lord Voldemort. Little did he know at the time that Severus Snape, a Death Eater, had told a portion of the prophecy that he heard to Lord Voldemort, and that it would affect Lily and James Potter.
Parkinson Manor, Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland
1st September 1996
The years had passed since the day that the prophecy had passed, with the murder of the Potter parents by Lord Voldemort, changes in the Wizarding World in order to try and prevent another Voldemort coming into power, and the constant new batches of students into Hogwarts.
The times, however, had bad sides, with the arrest of Sirius Black, the godfather of Harry Potter, resulting in him being sent to Azkaban without a trial, several Death Eaters getting off on charges claiming that they were under the Imperius Curse, the revival of Lord Voldemort and the death of Amelia Bones, meaning that the Wizarding World ended up on the brink of war.
Pansy Parkinson was tired. She had suffered from not sleeping the previous night because every time that she had attempted to fall asleep, all she could see in her sleep was the face of Harry Potter, the enemy of her betrothed, Draco Malfoy.
Pansy had no problems with Harry, having had a crush on him, but because of the betrothal contract that her father had signed, she had to do what her betrothed demanded of her, even if it was contrary to what she wanted.
'This is the final straw. I am going to tell Draco that I am never going to marry him, even if he is the last man on earth,' she thought, shaking her head. 'Why should I be betrothed to the ferret when I could have a real man to be with. Someone like Harry Potter!' Little did Pansy expect what she wanted to happen would actually happen to her!
The Burrow, Ottery St Catchpole, Devon, England
1st September 1996
Harry Potter was worn out. Every time that he tried to fall asleep, he would have dreams of Pansy Parkinson lying in his bed at Grimmauld Place, sometimes it being alongside a pot of whipped cream. Casting his mind back to the last time that he spoke to Pansy when she wasn't around Draco Malfoy and found that she was nicer to him at those times compared to when she was with the ferret and his bookends. Harry was confused about as he thought she was dating the ferret, yet when she was ever with Harry, it seemed that she was flirting with him. 'Why does she do that? Yes she isn't bad on the eyes but she seems to keep flirting with me when she is with the ferret?'
Harry was pulled from his thoughts of Pansy Parkinson as he heard the Floo turning on. As he was in the lounge part of The Burrow, he turned to see Neville Longbottom falling through the fireplace, looking tired.
"Harry…is…is Hermione around?" Neville asked. Suddenly he turned to see a brown haired heat seeking human version of a missile attacking him. Harry looked at the pair to see them kissing when a golden light surrounded the couple. Suddenly a pair of owls came into the room through the window, heading towards the pair.
Neville and Hermione separated to see Harry sadden. 'Why does Neville get the girl I love? Unless he is in the same situation as me, but instead of Pansy, he was having dreams in the night of Hermione?'
Hermione hugged her friend, hoping that he would cheer up after seeing the light display. "It's a Soul Bond that caused the light. Basically a Soul Bond is for those who are Soulmates, like Neville and I for example. Because of that, we both share compatible magic.
"A Soul Bond for those who are Soulmates start off with the two partners having a dream about each other, for example I have spent the last few nights dreaming about Neville, and it is that has made me tired and irritable the last few days." Hermione rattled off in lecture mode. "The gold light means that the Soul Bond has started to form and that we have to do two more specific acts until it is sealed."
"So my dreams of Pansy Parkinson-"
"Yes Harry, You are Soulmates with Pansy Parkinson. That means that you have a Soul Bond with her." Hermione confirmed for her friend. "Anyway, when I read the book about it, the two acts once a kiss has occurred are that the man must 'eat out' the woman, then the woman must give the man a 'blowjob' to seal it all. It is something to do with the swapping of sexual fluids I believe."
"James and Lily were Soulmates and had a Soul Bond, which meant that they shared compatible magic between them. It seems that the only Soulmates in existence are the ones that are prophesised" Harry heard from behind him. He turned around to see Remus Lupin, one of his father's friends, part of a group called the 'Marauders', enter The Burrow. Seeing Neville, Remus smiled and shook his hand. "Hello again Mr Longbottom, ready for the new school year?"
"Hello Professor Lupin," Neville said, smiling. "It will be an interesting school year with you teaching us again!"
"How did you know I was going to be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor?" Remus asked, amused at how Neville had guessed. "I hadn't even told Harry and you knew already!"
"Gran is on the Board of Governors at Hogwarts and told me" Neville replied, smiling. "Dumbledore tried to insert Snape as Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor but Voldemort killed the greasy haired git! Gran said that we have a new Potions master too."
"Yeah, a Horace Slughorn was hired. I only know as Dumbledore took me to persuade him to take the job when he brought me here." Harry told his friends "I thought he was going to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor but obviously Moony here is!"
"Obviously he suspected that Moldywarts was going to do something to Snivellus!" Remus said, smiling. "I feel sorry for him on one hand but he was responsible for Lily and James dying, telling Moldy about the prophecy!"
"WHAT! THAT BASTARD WAS THE ONE WHO INFORMED VOLDEMORT! HE BETTER BE GREATFUL THAT HE IS DEAD!" Harry shouted, angry over what he had heard. The foursome continued to talk, with Remus, Neville and Hermione trying to calm Harry down, until the Weasley family was ready to head to Kings Cross Station. Little did Harry expect to meet with his Soulmate on the train.
Onboard the Hogwarts Express
1st September 1996
Harry was on the Hogwarts Express, walking through the carriages to try and find Ginny and Ron who had gone missing when they saw Hermione and Neville in the middle of a compartment giving each other oral stimulation. Suddenly he found himself being grabbed and pulled into a compartment. Suddenly the person who pulled him into the compartment slapped him.
Harry looked at his assailant to see that it was Pansy Parkinson, the woman who he had been having dreams about over the last few nights. Shocked and confused, he sat down on one of the benches.
"What the hell was that for Parkinson?" Harry asked, confused. "What have I done to deserve you slapping me for no reason!"
"No reason? No reason? That Potter was because last night, I was unable to sleep due to having to see your face in my dreams!" she said, looking visibly annoyed. "I am not even meant to be thinking of you Potter as I am betrothed to Draco!"
"I am sorry but there is nothing I can do about that Parkinson." Harry said, his body feeling compelled to kiss her. Moving forward, his lips met hers with a golden light forming.
