Astoria laid in Harry's arms content with her life. When an owl came swooping into the parlor carrying a letter for Nathan from Minerva McGonagall in response to his invitation to dinner. Harry picked up the letter curious as to its contents. He walked in to Nathan's study much to Astoria's disappointment "Nathan there is a letter from a Minerva McGonagall. May I ask what it is regards to." he asked hoping he wasn't prying. Turning looking saddened Harry reached the door to the study to leave when Nathan asked him to stay.
"It's a reply from Headmistress McGonagall in regards to my dinner invitation. And before we continue this conversation I believe Astoria should join us seeing as it pertains to her as well." As soon as Nathan said Astoria's name she walked in smiling as kissed Harry on the cheek. Nathan cleared his throat before continuing his rehearsed speech. "As I was saying with the form of your soul bound it is imperative that you stay to gather as much as possible. Though I wish you didn't have to sleep together." Astoria rolled her eyes to the last part of her father's words.
Just as Harry was about to ask a question there was a loud knock at the front door. Wakeby appeared next to Nathan's desk "Master Lady McGonagall-Riddle and Lord Snape to see you before dinner. Shall I show them to the tea room?" Harry and Astoria looked at Nathan with surprise at the announcement of their dinner guest.
"Thank you Wakeby please show our guest to the tea room let them know Harry and Astoria will be joining us." Wakeby bowed and left to inform Headmistress McGonagall and Professor Snape. Astoria looked at her husband communicating telepathically to which he could only shrug in response to her inquires. "Everything will be discussed at dinner I assure you both." Nathan said with a smile as he went to welcome his guest remembering the first time he and his beautiful wife discussed thing telepathically. Just as her father left it finely dawned on Astoria how her mum and dad know what the other was going to say without a word spoken. She looked at Harry with a mischievous smile. Harry smiled back knowing well what his beautiful young wife wanted and even though she could read his mind he wouldn't openly admit he enjoyed cuddling with her.
Harry wrapped his arms around Astoria just as Emerald flow in beginning to sing a heartwarming and loving song. "Harry dear I think we should see what is for dinner. Don't you agree?" Astoria said with a mischievous smile that Harry loved with all his being. Feeling just as mischievous as Astoria he picked her up and carefully with almost surgical precision walked to the closed door of the tea room to listen in on the present conversation. Ever so carefully Astoria and Harry placed their ears to the door to listen.
"Lord Nathan correct me if I am hearing you right. You are saying young mister Potter and Astoria are soul bounded at such a young age in all the records of soul bounds the only one to happen so young was Merlin and Morgana if I remember correctly." Headmistress McGonagall stated in disbelief looking at her host with a scowl Nathan and Snape remembered from the times they got into trouble with James and Lily at Hogwarts as third years for transfiguring a first year's cat into a toad. Which McGonagall had to admit was a cleaver transfiguration however she would not openly tell the for years to come. Snape looked like he was on the brink of exploding from his seat across the room. "Speak up Severus or don't at all. I know you have a say in this as well." Minerva said smiling knowing full well what Severus wanted to say about the soul bound.
"Headmistress you and Nathan know that Harry is my adopted nephew I wish to at least congratulate the young couple. However, it is my belief they are listening at the door." Snape stated as he flicked his wand at the door without even thinking about it. Astoria and Harry fell into the room with a resounding thud right at Severus's feet. "Harry, you look just like James when we first met. Oh, where are my manners I am Professor Severus Snape potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and first and foremost your adopted uncle." Severus said with pride as he helped Harry up and squeezed him into a hug. Harry was smiling from ear to ear as he embraced his adopted uncle for the first time.
"Harry, Astoria it is my distinct pleasure to tell you both that Mrs. Green…I mean Potter will be joining Hogwarts a year early due to the soul bound." Headmistress McGonagall said as she handed Astoria her letter.
