Hey hey, here is another chapter. I hope you like and please review!


Lizzy felt herself blush bright red, this was a little more information than she wanted her mum to know about. But there were some parts of the bonding they had obviously not done. Not many, actually just two. But one of them was really, really personal.

Diane slowly closed the book Hermione had given them to read. She swallowed hard. She could see Lizzy was bright red and she could feel herself blush too. She cleared her throat. 'This would have been really helpful.'

Hermione nodded understanding what she meant. 'Do you have any questions?'

'If we say no can we forget about this?' Lizzy asked knowing that that couldn't happen. If what she read was right they had to complete the bonding as soon as they could.

Ginny chuckled at the hope she heard in Lizzy's voice. 'As uncomfortable as this is for you just know that this isn't exactly a walk in the park for us either.'

Lizzy looked at Ginny sheepishly. 'I guess so.'

Hermione looked Diane in the eye, she could see that Diane had some questions, but was to shy to ask them. 'You can ask me anything Diane, I will answer as if I can. That goes for you to Lizzy.'

Diane frowned trying to order her thoughts. 'Did I somehow make Lizzy fall in love with me against her will?'

'Don't even think that love!' Lizzy took Diane's hand in hers. 'I fell for you because you are an amazing woman.'

'Lizzy's right, the wording used in the book was a bit double edged, but no Veela's can't fall in love with those under their spell. And they only fall when they realize the other party is falling too. They only fall once, never more and they bond for life.' Hermione smiled at the two younger women.

Diane's nerves eased a little bit. 'O...ok'

Lizzy bit her lip then took a deep breathe. 'Mum could you maybe explain the bonding in less hostile language, the important parts?'

Hermione had to laugh, that was Lizzy. 'I'll do my best, but for this I need another glass of Firewhiskey.'


Ginny returned from the kitchen having refilled her glass and Hermione's, Diane having declined another. She handed Hermione her glass and settled back into the cushions right next to Hermione.

'Thank you love.' Hermione lent in for a soft peck on Ginny's lips.

Lizzy shifted even closer to Diane, wanting to be as near to her as she could. 'Mum how do we finish the bonding?'

'Sweetie first I have to know what happened when you two bonded.' Hermione said blushing a bit herself. The bonding was usually a very personal thing.

Lizzy looked anywhere except at her mother's. She was relieved when Diane squeezed her hand. 'Well..well...'

'The day after Lizzy's birthday you let her go to Hogsmeade on her own. We hadn't seen each other since school let out and we were both so excited to see each other.' Diane closed her eyes to remember that day. 'I was waiting at The Three Broomsticks when Lizzy walked in and in that moment I felt something click.'

Lizzy nodded her head. 'When I walked in and saw Diane sit there waiting for me, I realized how much I loved her. It suddenly just felt perfect.'

'After that we simply couldn't take our hands of each other. I just had touch her be close to her. It felt like I couldn't get close enough.' Diane's whole face was burning.

Lizzy cleared her throat looking at Diane. 'We went for a walk and while we were walking we found a clearing. The sun was peaking though the clouds but it was still drizzling.'

Diane sighed happily. This was probably her favourite memory to date. 'There were rainbows everywhere, and it smelled like Christmas.'

'I think we stayed there for hours.' Lizzy grinned. 'Making plans, and kissing' The last part made her nearly purple she blushed so hard.

Ginny bit her lip, they really were very cute together.

'Did you make any vows or promises?'

Diane frowned, she couldn't remember if they did or not. It all became a little hazy. 'Liz, I...I can't exactly remember.'

Lizzy felt Diane stiffen and squeezed her hand. 'It's ok Diane. We did. You took my hands and placed them on your face and took my face with your hands. You told me that I held your heart.'

'A...and you said I had yours since the day we met.' Diane let go of Lizzy's hand and touched her bonding mark. 'We stayed in that clearing standing like that for an hour maybe more. We had to get back because it was getting dark and Lizzy had to get home. I didn't notice the mark until the next day.'

'We didn't realize that we had bonded, it just happened. The moment was just right.' Lizzy tried to explain that most of their actions that day had been completely reflex. The most natural thing in the world.

Hermione nodded smiling softly at the two. 'You don't have to explain I think I understand.' Hermione twirled her fingers showing her own nervousness just a little. 'Did you two do more than just kiss?'

Lizzy suddenly gagged on her own spit. 'Mum!'

Hermione was blushing at this point. She really didn't want to know, but it was important. 'I don't want detail Lizzy. Just a yes or no is more than enough.' Even that is more than I really want to know.

Ginny's mouth dropped open and she looked horrified. Hermione should really warn her the next time she did something like this!

Diane managed to shake her head. 'N...n...no.' Even though she knew it was coming it shocked her how very much she didn't want to talk about it.

'Ok that's ok then. I thought as much, I believe that's the reason Lizzy doesn't have the mark yet.'

'Oh, really? I thought I wouldn't get one.' Lizzy seemed delighted at the prospect of her own mark. She wanted the world to know.

'Yes, you two have bonded mind and soul, but you haven't bonded bodily, not completely. You have to complete that, as soon as you can.'

'Hermione!' 'Mum!' Ginny and Lizzy shouted at the exact same time.

Hermione and blanched a bright red. What was she supposed to say? They had to finish the bonding. 'Don't you shout at me.' Hermione said between clenched teeth.

'Sorry mum.' Lizzy mumbled looking at her feet.

Ginny looked sheepishly at Hermione. 'I'm sorry love.'

Hermione narrowed her eyes. 'You better be.'

Diane was really hoping to change the topic away from her and Lizzy's love life or at this point lack there of. Well not total lack, but that was no ones business. 'W...what a..about the last part. The blessing from an elder? My family made it clear they wanted nothing to do with me a long time ago.''

Everyone let out a sigh of relief, this was much safer. Hermione perked up. 'I have some ideas there. Unfortunately the text isn't very clear about it. But I have a hunch.'

Ginny grinned, she loved Hermione's brain. 'Something you want to share?'

'Not yet, I need to speak to Fleur first.'

Lizzy slapped her forehead, of course Fleur was Veela too. 'You think she can help?'

'I think Appoline, Fleur's mother will be able too. But I need some time.' Hermione stood up. 'It's getting really late and I think we all could use some rest and alone time.' Hermione bent down and kissed Lizzy on the forehead and repeated the action with Diane. 'Sleep tight you two.'

Ginny got up too and did the same as Hermione. 'Don't stay up to late you two.'

Lizzy and Diane watched them go and soon made their way up to Lizzy's room. Their emotions were all over the place, but they had a desperate need to be together. And they both hoped that never went away.


Ginny sat on the bed tapping her foot against the bottom. 'I still can't believe you said that.'

Hermione walked out in a slinky nightgown, one of those she knew drove Ginny crazy. 'Said what love?'

'Told those two to have sex.' Ginny almost choked on the last word, all kinds of mental pictures were running around in her head, none of which she wanted.

'I did no such thing!' Hermione scowled at Ginny. 'I told them to complete the bonding.'

Ginny snorted. 'Sweetie that's splitting hair. And you know it.'

Hermione's nose wrinkled. 'They really do need to complete the bonding, but Merlin I feel kind of dirty telling them that.'

Ginny leaned back and laughed. 'Oh good then it's not just me.'

'Oh no, not just you. Believe I don't want to think of that any more than you do.' Hermione walked closer to the bed.

'You look amazing.' Ginny sat back up and pulled Hermione closer, nuzzling her stomach. 'Are you wearing this for me?'

Hermione bit her lip as she felt Ginny's fingertips gently trace up her hips. This was much better than thinking about her daughter and her bond partner. 'Who else?'

Ginny chuckled against Hermione's stomach sending all sorts of interesting sensations through Hermione's body. 'So beautiful.'

Hermione straddled Ginny's lap and started to push Ginny backwards onto the bed when a tap on the window made her nearly jump out of her skin. 'Bloody hell that nearly gave me a heart attack!' Hermione very reluctantly got up of her wife and opened the window. When she saw the owl and the seal on the letter she frowned.

'Ministry?' Ginny asked slightly out of breathe. Feeling more than a little hot and bothered-

'No, Hogwarts.' Hermione walked back to the bed and sat down next to Ginny and opened the letter. It wasn't very long.

Minister Weasley-Granger and Mrs. Weasley-Granger

Ginny groaned, this was just not her day. 'Not again!'
