Chapter 10- Explanations

Fleur watching the two hug each other and could not help but feel a little jealous. Immediatetly she realized what she thought. 'What? What am I thinking? This is Harry I am thinking about.'

' Yes but you know you have a crush on him' a voice in her retorted.( A/N: I am going to write Fleur"s speech in normal English. I honestly could not imitate it).

'Shut up'

Fleur engrossed in her thought did not notice Cathie looking at her in a calculating look. Harry too noticed where she is looking and decided that introductions are in order. " Katty, this is Fleur Delacour. Fleur this is Catherine Black, my sister in all but blood." Cathie smiled at his comment and looked at Fleur who is now lokking at her with a small smile.

" Hi nice to meet you. As you already know I am Catherine.You can call me Cathie if you wish. Only this over grown slug calls me Katty." greeted Cathie ignoring a loud 'HEY' from Harry at the last statement.

Fleur got up from her bed and hugged the startled girl slightly who froze at first but returned the gesture. Tears of happiness forming in Cathies eyes. She never felt any love from a family except from her mother. Everyone else looked at her like she is some kind of a disease. But she is now glad to get acceptance. The rest of the people in the room looked on with interest. Slowly Hermoine got up and hugged Cathie. She may not be a telepath or a Legillimens but she knows that look anywhere. It is the look that often used to be on her face before she met Harry. Now she does not feel it. Not with Harry with her.

" Welcome to the Family," she softly whispered in Cathies ears. The girl just nodded and looked around her at he other people and noticed only acceptance but with curious looks on their faces.

She sighed tiredly and addressed them" You all want to know how he survived the Killing Curse. Well you all know that Fleur has Veela blood in her. Magical creatures have their own brand of magic and one of them is soul magic. As you all know Vampires, Werewolves, Veelas. Faes, Drows and Dwarfs don't usually mate outside their species. In order for the to be happy, they form a sort of bond that links their souls in some formmaking them mates. So they are usually form a link and automatically are declared married." Here Harry andFleur bristled a little not liking where this is going." This also happens on rare occasions when they mate with Humans. This link allows them to transfer some abilities of one partner to other and vice versa. But usally this link is not strong to survive strong curses."

" If this is not so strong then how did they survivethe Avada."

" In this case something extremely rare happened. Instead of a link formation, the souls have united as one. We can now call them as a half of each other." She said grinning slyly at the bonded couple." Now Fleur Delacour no longer exists, only Fleur Potter does. All the legal work is automatically done when a bond occurs, so..."

Before she finished this explanation both Fleur and Harry fainted. Cathie sighed and helped carry Fleur to the bed. This is going to be long day.

After the two bonded regained consciousness, the situation was once again explained by Cathie clearly. They also found out that Fleur can now speak parsletounge and have gained the ability to controll elements upto some extent. Cathie also explained that they cannot be killed anyway else to kill both of them at once wthout even a microsecond delay because if not their souls get repaired instantly.This gives them an edge over the enemy. Fleur and Harry finally confessed their feelings to each other finally. They both were happy to know that their feelings are returned and because of this they accepted the soul bond easily.

The Delacour was informed of this develpment. Neverthless to say they were surprised at first but they gave their blessings to the new couple. Gabriel was a little dissapointed that Harry is married to her sister and not her. But her love to her sister won over her jealousy and she too congratulated the new couple.

Now all that is left is to go to Gringotts and finalize the deal wiith the Goblins.

In the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is not a happy man. Harry potter ran away from the Dursleys and is spotted in Diagon Alley few days later and is reported fighting Death Eaters, but as soon as Albus reached the Alley to bring back Harry to the Dursleys, he disapeared again.

Another thing which is worrying is that the tracking spells that have cast on him stopped functioning.Also the soul restrainer and the magic binder spells have broken off. This made no sense. How could he remove them even if by a sliim chance he found it. Doesn't he know it is for his own good.

The appearance of the Orden did no good to him to. He is trying to find them through the ministry and his other sources but nothing is turning up. He asked his Pheonix to take a letter and invitation for them to join the Order of Pheonix, but his Pheonix seems unable to find them and returned with the letter. This is fustrating. This new faction is powerful and he needs it under his influence so they can properly fight Voldemort.

Looking over at the window with a sigh he decided to take this matter to the Ministry to force this new group to come out and meet him. With a determined look he flooed to the minister's office.

Fleur and Harry along with the Delacour family are walking to the Gringotts bank. Harry is wearing a glamour spell. It is unnecessary to draw the attention of the public and the Order. Arriving at the bank he caught a glimpse of pink hair. He winked at Tonks and Tonks and continued into the Bank.Tonks has been invaluable to them spying on both the Ministry and Dumbledore. Together they walked into the Potter financial advisor's and manager's office.

Ripthaw, the previous manager is executed on account of swidling his funds to Dumbledore and the Order. Thinking about it made Harry angry and his magic boiled. A warm soft arm took hold of his hand and squeezed it. He looked up to see Fleur smiling at him. He squeezed back looking at her with gratitude. The couple do not need words to convey their feelings, their bond made it possible for them to broadcast their feelings to each other.

" Hello Griphook, May your gold flow freely" he greeted his new account manger.

" Good afternoon to you too Lord Potter and may your profits never ends." He greeted back.

" Griphook, you must know why I am here right"

" Yes Lord Potter, I have indeed seen the family Tapestry which have just been upgraded a day ago. Now we by the Goblin Law Officailly recognize your bonded as Lady Potter." he replied with a toothy grin.

Harry shifted slightly but the love he felt through the bond reassured him. He nodded at Griphook who now called a Gonling to bring the Potter family jewel box.

" Wow" Fleur said softly seeing the Potter family jewels. Harry smiled at her and withdrew a ring and a necklace with the Potter family crest on it. He the proceeded to merge the Pendragon, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Symbols on it. Finishing it he silently slid the ring onto her finger and proceede to put the necklace around her neck. Fleur let a tear of happiness out of her eyes. She is truly happy. This is her dream and it is now fulfilled. Harry's in-laws silently cheered them on from the background. They both started walking over to them beaming untill Harry sunndenly stopped. Fleur is looking at him questioningly. He just smiled at her.

" Fleur take the family and go home. I need to take care of some other business." Seeing her hesitate he softly gave her a push smiling disarmingly. Fleur just glared at him but relented. Giving him a quick kiss she left with her parents and sister.

" Now Griphook, is there anyway for me to adopt a persos as a sibling at my age and please call me Harry."

" Yes Harry it is possible. Who would you like to adopt."

" Her name is Catherine Elizabeth Black, daughter of Sirius Black."

"Oh, we thought that she is still in the Muggle world."

" She would have returned long back ago but thanks to old Dumb old Dork it did not happen. Can you make it official as soon as possible. I have a feeling he will try to take her away if he finds out. I need to take some precautions."

" Yes Harry, it will be done soon. Being Lord Black will make it much easier. Just sign here and it will be done."

Harry signed the parchment which glowed blue before vanishing." Now onto the other matters, I want the Black vault emptied and put into the Potter family vault. Also merge the families of Potter and Black together. Open a seperate vault in the name of Catherine Elizabeth Black-Potter with 4 million galleons in it."

" Yes Harry it shall be done. Would you also like to merge some other families."

" No not now. My friends can do so if they want but I doubt it will be any time soon. Anyway I need to go and take care of some business in Diagon Alley. May you enemies shiver in fright."

" May your enemies die at your power. Good day Lord Potter."

With that Harry left the Bank to go meet the only Weasly's he knows he can trust.

--A/N: Sorry for the late update, but I had a lot of work to do. Harry will be meeting the twins in the next chapter and another character to spy in the Order. Sorry can't tell you, will ruin the suspense.
