Chapter 12 Weddings and Bonding

The next morning after going to get food Harry, James, Lily, and Sirius headed over to the infirmary to see if Remus had woken up yet. When they walked in Sirius had to do a double take to remind himself that the twenty-four-year-old lying in the bed was indeed the now former werewolf.

"I can't believe how young he looks," Sirius whispered at the sleeping man.

"I guess compared to what you are used to he does look young, but to us, he just looks slightly different," James said quietly also.

Sirius contemplated that for a minute, "I guess you're right."

They waited a few more minutes till Remus woke up.

"Hey Moony how are you feeling?" James asked leaning forward to help him sit up.

"Great, I feel great I can't feel the wolf at all," Remus said smiling his tail wagging behind him.

"Well, I should hope not Mr. Lupin," Fleur said walking in and yawning.

"Morning Fleur, you able to get any coffee yet?" Harry asked.

"No, not yet I just woke up because the wards said that Mr. Lupin was awake," Fleur said yawning again.

"Please call me Remus, it's that least I can do since you saved my life."

Fleur smiled, "well then since Remus is awake I can check him over."

"Alright well while you do that I am going to go make you a cup of coffee," Harry said walking out of the room.

"Alright, do you have any pain anywhere?" She asked taking down a clipboard and looking over the measurements from last night.

"It's not really pain more like a dull ache."

Fleur nodded, "that is to be expected your body is adjusting to not having the wolf part of you, along with the fact that you are younger. Now you might experience pain later or not it depends on the person, some people have also said that they feel empty or a part of them is missing, if that happens it helps to seek someone out and talk to them."

"Alright, so when can I leave," Remus asked shocked about the younger part, as Harry walked in and handed Fleur her coffee.

"Thank you, well everything looks alright I recommend taking it easy, but you should be able to leave today."

James and Sirius both smiled at that while Remus said thank you. Fleur nodded and on the way out she put a comforting hand on his shoulder and raised an eyebrow in question, Harry just nodded. She looked at him for a minute before nodding and walking out of the room.

"Well since he has been released let's head back to the common room and you can ask me the question I know that you have been dying to ask."

They all looked at each other then walked out of the room and into the hallway so that Remus could get dressed. When he came out into the hallway Harry walked over to a closet and pulled out a key and inserted it into the lock. When he opened the door it was the common room for the Seekers.

"Alright so spit it out, what do you want to ask."

"Bill said something strange yesterday, he said you were a basilisk," Lily said.

"Oh, that's right I forgot to explain that you."

"Explain what?" Sirius asked confused.

"Okay so, most of the crews on this island have some type of power that only pertains to them. We the Seekers are shapeshifters, what Bill was talking about was what we call our defensive forms, mine is a Basilisk, and Reggie's is a manticore."

They looked at him for a minute digesting for a minute, before Remus asked, "are there any forms that you can't or shouldn't take?"

"Oh yeah there are three major ones that cause huge problems. The first is a ghost form because it tricks our body into thinking we are dead, Angel was stuck as a ghost for three months. The second is an obscurial because that is dangerous. The last one is a dementor we figured that out the hard way, ghost and dementor are last, last resort shifts." Harry said.

"Who was stuck as a dementor?" Sirius asked shivering at the prospect.

"Me," Harry said calmly.

"What!" They all yelled.

"Yeah it was not a good day, we had landed on what we thought was an uninhabited island, but it wasn't. The occupants attacked us we were being pushed back, so I thought the most dangerous creature I knew at the time, which was a dementor. I lost control the reason I came back to my senses was that Charlie cast a Patronus. It pushed the dementor part back enough that I could switch back."

"Oh, but how did you get Angelina back to human?" Lily asked curiously.

"Ah, that was because of our wonderful research department, remember how I told you about that potion last night?"

Everyone but Remus nodded.

Harry pulled out a vial of pure silver liquid, "this is what was used in the ritual last night, Sirius I want you to put some of your magic into here." He said smirking slightly.

"Ok." He said skeptically reaching forward and putting some of his magic into it, the potion turned pitch black. He chuckled sadly at the glossy black potion, "always knew blacks were dark."

"Sirius do you know why blacks are named after stars?" Harry asked kindly pulling the vial closer to him.

"History or tradition or something." He said waving a hand around.

"Well that is partially correct but I wonder if someone a long time ago couldn't see the magic."

"What do you mean?" Sirius asked leaning forward a little bit.

Harry just smirked and then took the vial and smashed it. When the vial broke there was a flash and then they were surrounded in a soft blackness with flecks of red and green spiraling around while ribbons of gold danced and weaved throughout. There even looked like what could be stars making up constellations glowing brightly in it.

"This is wow," James said turning slowly taking in the galaxy that is Sirius' magic.

"I know, we learned about this accident when Reggie smashed his vial mad about the black potion. His is all greens, purples, and silvers but it still has the star and constellation like flecks. Draco's is green, blues, and bronze, we think all blacks or direct kids of blacks have their magic start out black but when you give it room to grow it can be a beautiful thing." Harry spread his arms and brought the magic flowing around the room and condensed it putting it in a crystal vial and handing it to Sirius.

Sirius looked at the again glossy black potion and smiled softly, "thank you, Harry."

"No problem."

"So what does yours look like?" Lily asked.

Harry pulled a vial out of a pocket and enlarged it he looked like someone had taken an emerald liquefied it and stuck it in the vial. Though throughout it were swirls of a bright ruby red that looked like flames.

"Wow, what is the red from?" Remus asked.

"The red is Charlie's magic that was entwined with mine," Harry said calmly as the shock resonated across their faces.

"But how?" James asked confused.

"It is a sacred and private ritual that I am going to be helping participate in tonight after Rose and Draco's wedding," Harry explained thinking back on his own wedding.

"Wait, a Malfoy and a Weasley are getting married?" Sirius asked shocked.

Harry smirked and chuckled, "Yep and I think the only parent who knows is Narcissa because she is not in as much denial."

"Wow, this could end badly couldn't it?" James asked leaning back and whistling.

Harry shrugged, "I don't think it will be too bad or Luna would have mentioned something. I do think that it might be rocky at first but they will have to get over it since Rose and Draco are going through the bonding ritual."

"You have mentioned that a few times can you explain it more fully?" Remus asked curious about the mysterious ritual.

Harry thought about it for a minute, "Well I can explain a little bit, this ritual is a very private and intimate thing that is shared between families and the people getting married. It was brought up by Sal and Godric after they witnessed mine and Charlie's wedding. It is a ritual that is done before magic herself, there are different steps. The first makes sure that there are no potions or compulsion on either party. The second connects the two magics binding them together, this has to be mutual since it shares family magics between the two. The last part leaves a mark that is important to the other person."

Harry stood up and pulled his shirt up showing off a tattoo of a basilisk and dragon circling around each other. "This step involves two people who know the person doing it well, ours were a collab between Rose and Bill. Rose drew the basilisk for me and bill drew the dragon for Charlie then they combined them. Some marks are smaller I know that Fred's and Apollos are a bow and sun on their shoulders. "

"That sounds amazing, is there a time limit on when you can do it?" James asked looking over at Lily.

Harry shakes his head, "Nope, Sal said that there are people who waited five or even ten years after getting married to get bonded, just to make sure it would work out. I know that Fred and Apollo waited six years because Fred was nervous that Apollo would get bored of him."

"So what are you doing at the ritual tonight Harry?" Lily asked.

"Charlie and I are going to be doing the verbal part of the ritual while Fred and Apollo are doing the magical part of the ritual. But I cannot tell you who is going to be there or what is going to be said because it is a very private and personal matter." Harry explained carefully, letting the matter sink in.

"Alright, then I guess we won't ask any more questions on the matter," Sirius said understanding a little bit because of his upbringing.

"Thank you now if you will excuse me I need to go help set up for the wedding before someone comes looking for me." Harry shuddered at the thought of Hermione or Ginny coming for him.

The wedding was held a few hours later in a clearing near the castle. There were red, green, and white streamers hanging from the trees and seats lined in rows. Lucius was looking around for Narcissa who was still not there, though Draco was shifting nervously in the front with Blaise, Seamus, and Theo was standing behind him. Salazar was the person who was doing the ceremony, he was smirking slightly at Draco's face and how nervous he looked.

Finally, there was a crack and Fleur came first after she was Ginny, then Luna. Narcissa came walking quickly around the corner and slid into the seat next to Lucius.

"Where have you been my dear?" He asked raising an eyebrow up.

She just smirked slightly, "Oh you know just helping the bride get ready."

Then the music started and Rose came walking in with Bill walking her down the aisle, her dress was a shining white, with layers cascading down. The top was a corset style red and green ribbons crossing in the back, there was a red ribbon around her waist to complete the color scheme with Draco's emerald tie. When she got up to the front Bill gave her a kiss on the forehead and went to go sit down next to his family.

"Arthur, why would Bill be walking her down the aisle?" Molly asked confused.

"I don't know Molly," Arthur replied also confused.

"Good evening I stand here today to join together these two people in holy matrimony." Then he turned to Draco, "Draco do you take Rose Weasley to be your wife?"

There was a gasp from the visitors, but Narcissa sat there chuckling.

"I do."

"Do you Rose take Draco Malfoy to be your husband?"

"I do."

"Then with the power invested in me, by being older than all of you and by Percy Weasley a ministry official, I pronounce you legally married."

When he was finished a cheer rose up from the people who weren't catatonic, all the visitors except for the Potters and Narcissa.

When the cheering stopped and the food was brought in Draco and Rose went over to talk to their parents, and Snape.

Narcissa reacted first by walking over and giving Rose a hug, "that was a lovely wedding my dear, welcome to the family."

"Thank you, Mum Dad are you going to snap out of it?" She asked smirking a little.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Molly asked quietly.

Rose sighed, "I didn't want you to object or reject me."

Molly pulled Rose into a hug, "I wouldn't have, I have only wanted my children to be happy and if this is what makes you happy then I wouldn't have said anything. If your father tried to say anything against then I would have had a conversation with him. Just promise that you will not be afraid to mention anything significant like this again."

Rose hugged Molly harder, "I promise, thank you."

"Of course honey, anytime," Molly said pulling away.

"Alright now that this is out of the way we have something that we would like to ask you," Draco said wrapping one arm around Rose's waist.

"You see there is a special and private ceremony that we conduct here that is very important, and we were hoping that you would be there for it."

"We would love to be there for it, when and where is it?" Narcissa said before Lucius could say anything.

Rose and Draco both smiled when Molly nodded.

"Alright well we have to go get ready for it but someone will be around later to get you for the ceremony," Draco said.

After the reception, Molly and Arthur sat down with Lucius, Narcissa, and Snape.

"So you knew the entire time?" Molly asked Narcissa.

"Yes I figure it out when I met her, and when I asked them later they confirmed it." She said smiling softly.

"I was also aware of who Rose actually was, there was a prank at the school where everyone's gender was switched and she was Mr. Weasley," Snape added in.

"I am going to have to say now that I know I can see the resemblance," Arthur said nodding. "But why didn't she say anything?"

"I believe that she was worried about your reaction would be, especially with the animosity between the Malfoy's and Weasley's," Snape answered.

"Then why were they not worried about me finding out?" Narcissa asked confused.

"I believe and this is my guess because you are not truly a Malfoy but a Black and since neither have actually witnessed you hostile towards anyone. I also think that Rose didn't tell you Molly is because she was the most worried about how you would react since your reaction would be what would make or break anything since you make the most decisions." Snape explained.

"Oh, I did not know that my opinion mattered that much," Molly said shocked.

"I do believe that yours is what matters the most," Snape said.

They sat and discussed until the sun went down and Seamus came to pick them up. When he did they walked deeper into the forest till they came to a clearing that had a pool on one side and candles floating around. There was a circle drawn on the ground in the silver dust with four circles placed in the cardinal positions. Harry and Charlie were standing up near the top of the pool wearing red robes. Harry's had silver basilisks stitched into, while Charlie's had gold dragons stitched into it. Fiona and Apollo were standing off to the side, Fiona had a gold dress on with black and silver moons stitched along the bottom and a kitsune running up along the side, while Apollo had a black suit on with a simple golden sun stitched into the breast.

Seamus leads them over to the side where Bill, Hermione, Ginny, George, Blaise, Theo, and Percy were standing. Then Luna came walking and stood up near Harry and Charlie when she had reached them Rose and Draco came walking in. Draco had on a Deep Green Dress robe, with horses running along the bottom in Red stitching, Rose was wearing a Black dress with an open back and had green horses running along the bottom.

"They look wonderful," Narcissa said quietly watching the two walk up to the circle and stop.

"Aphrodite made them, she begged to be able to make their outfits since it is considered an honor. While Rose made everyone else outfits for their ceremonies." Blaise whispered.

"Honored guests we join tonight to ask Magic to unite these two under an eternal bond," Harry said calmly.

"We ask that those taking part in the ritual say their names and positions." Charlie continued.

"I am Fiona Weasley mate of Apollo God of the sun, huntress of Artemis, Co-Captain of the Trappers and I stand as power."

"I am Apollo Weasley mate of Fiona Weasley huntress of Artemis and I stand as power."

"I am Harry Potter-Weasley mate of Charlie Weasley-Potter and I stand as words."

"I am Charlie Weasley-Potter mate of Harry Potter-Weasley Captain of the Seekers and I stand as words."

"Is this acceptable to the intended?" Harry asked.

"We deem this acceptable." Draco and Rose answered.

"Then we shall continue," Harry started.

"Step into the circle and kneel." Charlie finished.

Draco and Rose stepped into the circle and kneeled facing each other.

"We shall start the ceremony." Charlie and Harry said together.

Fiona moved to the northern circle while Apollo moved to the southern circle. They kneeled down and pulsed magic into the circles causing them to light up gold.

"We start at north where life begins to signify the start of when you're life begins together, and at south where your life ends together." Charlie and Harry said.

Then Fiona moved to west and Apollo moved to east.

"We continue to the west where the sun rises and so that each day is a new beginning together, and east where the sun sets when each night shall be a new adventure."

When they finished Apollo and Fiona pulsed more magic in finishing the golden circle, the circle radiated a calming heat like a nice sunny day.

"Do both parties come to this aware and not under any spells or compulsions."

"We do."

"Magic you have heard, is the truth being told?"

There was a minute and the circle glowed brighter.

"Magic has deemed you truthful in this matter."

"Have you come into this ceremony understanding what is asked of you."

"We have."

"Has the designated creator finished the mark?"

"We did," Luna answered handing a piece of paper to Charlie and Harry who looked it over and smiled.

"We have deemed this acceptable." They said throwing it into the circle where it dissolved.

"We now ask the intended to recite their bonding vows in the presence of magic, do you understand what is asked of you in this exchange?"

"We understand."

"Then we shall have Draco Malfoy recite your vow."

"Rose the first time I met you I did not understand what I was feeling, I just thought that it was jealousy with your friendship with Harry, I was wrong. It was the opposite I was jealous of Harry for having your friendship. When we got to this island and we did not have any sort of prejudice we had to follow or status we had to uphold I realized how much I cared for you. Over time this feeling grew into love and when I had the chance to redo everything I gladly took it. So I will say it now and I will say it whenever you need me to, I love you Rose and I always will. I swear on my magic, my name, and my blood that I will never hurt you."

As soon as he said that a green string appeared between him and Rose.

"Magic has heard your vow, Rose, if you would."

"Draco for a long time I held onto the prejudice that I was taught to believe, therefore when we got here and those didn't matter anymore I was the first to reach out my hand. I too learned over time that I was in love with you and that scared me more than anything. However, when I accepted it and accepted who I was now, you were the first to reach out to me. It took me a while to finally understand everything and for that, I am sorry that it took so long. But you were patient, you stood by me and my decisions even when I wasn't sure myself what was right. You always made sure to tell me that I was right and went out of your way to tell me there was nothing wrong with who I am, so thank you, and I love you. I swear on my magic, my name, and my heart that I will never hurt you."

When she was finished a red string appeared.

"We the speakers deem the vows acceptable."

"We the powers deem the vows accepted."

"We ask if Magic deems these acceptable.

Then a voice filled with many answers, "We the Magic deem these Vows acceptable."

"Magic has spoken, do you vow to share your names?"

"We vow."

"Do you vow to share your love?"

"We vow."

"Do you vow to share all that you have?"

"We vow."

"Do you vow to share your Magic?"

"We vow.

"Then I Harry Potter-Weasley mate of Charlie Weasley-Potter deem you bonded."

"I Charlie Weasley-Potter mate of Harry Potter-Weasley captain of the Seekers deem you bonded."

"I Fiona Weasley mate of Apollo Weasley God of the sun, huntress of Artemis, Co-Captain of the Trappers deem you bonded."

"I Apollo God of the sun mate of Fiona Weasley huntress of Artemis deem you bonded."

"We the Magic deem you bonded may you live and prosper together."

When that was said the strings that had appeared split in half and disappeared into Draco and Rose, and the gold barrier came down. When it was finished the bystanders all ran to the people in the circle and hugged them. While Harry collapsed against Charlie.

"Man that is exhausting, nobody else gets married for a while," Harry said.

"I have to agree these are a lot of work," Fiona said where she was leaning against Apollo on the ground.

"Yeah but you have to admit that it is always worth it to see their faces when we get done." Charlie said smiling at the new mated pair.

"Yeah you're right, it always is." Apollo said smiling at the gathering of people.

Well there it is the last chapter of this story, I just want to say thank you to all of the people who have read and commented on this story throughout the process. This was a fun story to write and I loved thinking up new and funny scenarios. There will probably be some oneshots to go along with this somewhere along the line just about other things they got up to along the way, maybe a sequel I don't know. But again thank you very much to everyone and I will see you again.
