Ch 4.
Weddings, Honeymoons, and invitations.
Harry took a jerky step forward. Just as his mother and father ran towards him. The family of three hugged and cried for about ten minutes before Lily Potter pushed away and guided Harry over to a table in his dressing room. Picking up a silver backed brush she proceeded to brush his hair. "Oh damn it all!" she exclaimed. Harry, shocked, turned around to face her. "Your hair is just like your fathers! Wouldn't lay flat if you covered it in molasses!"
"That's my hair, for you. Never doing what I want it to do."
"May I grow it out for you?"
"Can you do that?"
"Of course, when your dead, you become a part of magic." she placed her hand on top of Harry's head. Harry felt a tingling sensation and found his hair reached mid-back. "This was the length that your father favoured." Harry looked over at James and found that his long hair was in a plait down his back.
At the end of it all, Harry had gotten his parents approval to marry Raithos and James was even going to give him away. When the time came Harry left the dressing room and was escorted, by his father, down to the Grand Ballroom. Seated on either side were mated pairs of representatives from every magical race, including a pair of gay dragons. (WINK!!!!!!!)
The music started and James led Harry up the aisle to the waiting wedding party. The high Elven priest conducting the ceremony clearly intoned; "Who gives this man?"
James and Lily spoke up. "We do."
"Who receives this man?" Raithos and his family spoke up. "We do."
"Then stand together." James released Harry and stepped back and Raithos and Harry moved to stand, side by side, in front of the priest.
"You have chosen to be bonded for all of eternity. If you have any reservations then back out now." no one moved.
"Good. We will begin with the soul bonding. You may begin."
Raithos turned to Harry and clutched his hands in his.
"EGO redimio mihi vobis , iam quod pro infinitio. per veneficus tactus , per cruoris dico , quod per diligo traho , EGO tribuo vos quicumque EGO sum. iam quod pro infinitio quod ultra. EGO redimio mihi vobis , sic mote is exsisto!" People gasped as Raithos mention loves pull, they knew now that this was a marriage of love.
Harry smiled up at Raithos, love shining in his eyes, and repeated the incantation, word for word what Raithos had said.
"EGO redimio mihi vobis , iam quod pro infinitio. per veneficus tactus , per cruoris dico , quod per diligo traho , EGO tribuo vos quicumque EGO sum. iam quod pro infinitio quod ultra. EGO redimio mihi vobis , sic mote is exsisto!"
Harry and Raithos were bathed in a brilliant silver and blue light, and when it ended their clothes were changed. Instead of the plain white robes of marriage; they both now wore an outer robe of dark blue with silver runes lining the outer trim. Their white shirts were also dark blue with silver runes decorating the trim. Their pants were dark blue with silver runes running in aracing stripe up each leg. And on their wedding fingers they bore platinum rings with studded in blue diamonds.
The could feel the magic pulsing within the rings.
Raithos turned to Harry, "Harry. When I first met you I fell in love. I feared for your life after I found you, but you stayed alive. Then I feared that you would leave me once you got healthy. But you stayed. And now you are marrying me, and I love you. I never want to spend another day without you beside me. If ever I am without you, something is missing in my life. The sun will never shine as bright, food will no longer sustain me and I will wither away. When you are with me my whole life suddenly seems better! My future is brighter and I feel safe. I wake up in the mornings and see you still sleeping beside me and I marvel at how much I love you. By how much you can love me. I need you and I have you."
"Raithos. You saved my life. Had it not been for you I would have died there in that house. Had it not been for you. But, I don't love you for that. I'm thankful, yes! But I don't love you for it. I love you for saving my soul, my body, my mind and spirit. They belong to you. I give you it all. I love you with all that I am and I would die without you. Where you go I will follow. I lay my life down at your feet, do with it what you will. But don't ever leave me. I need you to live! You are the blood pumping through my veins, you are the oxygen in my lungs, you are the unconscious impulses that keep my body functioning. Without you I am nothing and I will cease to be. With all that I am, I love you. But I love you even more than that. When you enter a room my body sings, knowing that you are mine, my heart races, knowing that yours belongs to me. Even now, a year later I still get tingles when I look at you, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
"You have pledged yourselves to each other, and the gods are pleased. Per vox vested intus mihi EGO iam denuntio vos vinculum pro infinitio. quis filiolus confero permissum haud vir , letalis vel haud , reddo seorsum. sic mote is exsisto!" the bond between Raithos and Harry snapped taunt and everyone in the nine realms felt the wave of magic from their bonding.
During dinner in the great hall of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, a magical surge rolled through the school. Hogwarts, recognizing the magic of the only remaining heir in good standing, absorbed it and the wards around her were strengthened. The teachers looked around and then turned to Albus Dumbledore.
Minerva McGonagall spoke to Dumbledore, "Albus! What could have caused that?" "I believe that someone from the clans has been bonded. It has been quite sometime since a shockwave this powerful was sent though. These two are very powerful." "What are we going to do?" "We are going to wait, and then after a five month waiting period we will contact the strongest of the clans and see about a possiblealliance." "Why five months?" "Because, someone from the royal family has bonded, it is customary to wait five months to contact them. Two for the honeymoon, and three for them to get settled in and used to their lives." Minerva frowned but sat back and relayed the information to the other teachers.
Three days later found Harry with tears in his eyes as he said goodbye to his parents. His father reminded him to speak to Lupin when he returned to earth. He had an appointment with the goblins, who had given him a lovely set of poisoned Goblin daggers as a wedding present, to discuss his parent's will as well as Sirius'. James and Lily assured Harry that Sirius didn't blame him for his death and only couldn't come because he was chasing men around in the after life.
James and Lily faded from sight after one last tearful hug and goodbye.
Raithos embraced Harry from behind and tried to shimmer them to Gringotts. What he got instead was a wall of flames engulfing them and depositing them in the lobby of Gringotts. Instantly the goblins stopped working and rushed to meet them. "My Lords! The head of Gringotts has been expecting you! Right this way!" they were led to an elevator which shot down at an alarming rate. When they came to a stop Harry reasoned that they were in the very bowels of Gringotts.
Harry and Raithos were ushered into an office that was, literally, covered in gold. Sitting behind a solid gold desk was an ancient looking goblin. "Greetings my lords!" he barked, his voice gruff.
"Greetings master goblin. It is good to be here." Raithos spoke.
"Let's get down to business shall we? We have three sets of papers that you, Mr. Potter, need to see to." Harry quickly signed the order to transfer all Potter assets to his sole control, at Raithos' insistence.
The Black assets were a little tricky as several of the Black properties were occupied.
"Evict everyone and allow only these people in to them." Harry gave the head goblin a list with several names on it, including Remus Lupin, and the Tonks family. All debts owed to the two families were called in and old investments were renegotiated and updated. The last packet was emancipation papers from Sirius. Even though the point was moot Harry signed them anyway.
When all was said and done Harry had more money in his personal accounts than the Malfoys' could ever hope to. He also removed everyone's access to his vaults but his, and ordered that the people who had removed money be forced to pay it back. Harry also gave the order that on October 31, a day when Voldemort always made a big attack in honor of Harry, the letter from his friends would be published under the headline; The reason Harry Potter lost his faith in Wizard kind!
When Raithos and Harry left the bank they fire-walked to their first honeymoon destination;
Japan.
A week after Harry had signed the papers and given the orders letters went out to anyone who had taken money from the Potter and Black vaults without the written permission of the head of the family. They were ordered to pay the money back or their assets would be taxed until their debt was paid off.
In Japan, Harry and Raithos desecrated every surface in their vacation home by making love on it numerous times.
When they returned from their honey moon they began the three month waiting period before they were inundated with palace business. By the time September rolled around Harry was in a routine of managing the day to day things in the running of the Razel estate, attending full court sessions as a prince consort, and making love to his husband three times a day.
September twenty-third dawned bright and clear, but Harry had a feeling of dread settle over him and weigh heavily on his mind. While dinner was being served Harry felt a pain lance through his chest, where his heart had begun beating wildly. "Fuck! I think I'm having a heart attack!" Harry grabbed his chest and hunched over.
"That's impossible, we are immune to such ailments."
"They why does it feel as if death is squeezing my heart?"
"Maybe someone close toyou has died recently." reasoned Raiden.
"Damn wizards! Always doing things." Harry sat back up, his brow heavy with sweat.
"Are you alright, now?"
"Yeppers. I'm good." dinner continued on like normal, lots of heated arguments.
The next day the alarms around the palace went off and everyone who mattered, namely the royal family and several guards, shimmered, or fire-walked, into the great hall to see what the commotion was.
It was a house-elf.
"Dobby?" Harry asked, after getting a good look at the elf. Dobby was wasting away; he wore a simple Black pillow case, no socks or hats and his large tennis ball eyes were dull and listless.
"Master Harry sir? Does it really be you?" Harry pushed to the front and kneeled down before the sad little creature.
"Yes it's me Dobby! What happened to you?"
"Headmaster Dumbly refuse to let Winky and Me bond to castle. We is slowly losing our magic. Dobby goes out everyday to find good
wizards who will bond, but they no want freed elves."
"I will bond with you." At this Dobby's huge eyes lit up with delight. Without saying a word he held out his hand, palm up.
Placing his hand over Dobby's, Dobby started chanting in elvish. When their hands were covered in a red glow Dobby kissed Harry's hand and the bond was complete.
"Will, master bond with Winky too?"
"Of course. Go and get her and I will bond with
her."
"Headmaster Dumbly sent this." Dobby handed Harry a sealed letter addressed to the Clan Atrum Pennae.
"Thank you Dobby, go and fetch Winky while we read this." Dobby nodded and was gone with a crack.
Harry opened the letter and read it aloud;
To the most ancient and honorable Clan Atrum Pennae, rulers of Arucana
I am Albus Dumbledore, leader of the side of the light in the fight against the dark. I am writing this in hopes that you will lend us your aid before our entire world is destroyed by a power hungry, self-titled Dark Lord. Any help you can lend will most assuredly turn the tide in our favour. Please accept this offer and we will be glad to host you in our castle, which also doubles as a school and order headquarters. I am writing this in the aftermath of an attack yesterday that left many injured and two dead. Rubeus Hagrid and Neville Longbottom, were killed. As you probably know Longbottom was thought to be the other possibility as defeater of Voldemort.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Order of Merlin, First class
Supreme Mugwump of the confederation of Wizards (?) Etc.
"Wow, sure likes to make himself feel important." Harry said sarcastically. Just then Dobby and Winky popped in, Harry did the bonding ceremony and they popped off to make themselves useful around the palace.
"So, are we going?" Raiden asked. Everyone looked at Harry.
"What?"
"Well, if you don't want us to participate we wont."
"As much as I'm still pissed off at those fuck-heads, I don't want the world taken over by that nut job. So, we'll help." Raithos smiled and kissed Harry.
"You're very brave to go and face them."
"Yeah, yeah! Brave and strong, what do you expect from the defeater of Voldemort. I just regret that Neville got dragged into this in my absence. And Hagrid; was my first friend, he bought me Hedwig. Oh!" Harry felt his chest heat up.
"What is it?"
"I think it's time to hatch" Harry pulled out the golden egg that he had been carrying around on him for a year. There was a smooth line from the top of the egg and steam was coming from it.
Yay! Chapitre 4 is finished! I just want to say I completely forgot about that damned egg, so i've decided to slowly but surely write it out of existance. you'll find out in chapitre five, which is quite long i might have to break it down Cause my beta/boyfriend and I have broken up so I'm going to be beta-ing Chapitre 5, then I'll get my Back up beta to do the rest. Chapitre 5 will have Raithos coming to Hogwarts and some kind of Master plan hatched by Raithos, Harry and Azriel. . . Who's Azriel you ask? Azriel is actually the Muse who decided that I should write this damned story in the first place, so thank him if you think it's good. He's basically My Bad Side, he swears alot and he bit a chunk outta my ass because I hadn't put him in the story yet. Stay tuned to find out what Azriel does. and if you think everyone's mouth is bad, wait til you hear Azriel describe the weather. Enjoy and Until next time!
