Hello faithful readers, I would like to give you all thanks for coming with me to this part of the journey, it is long from over this is only book 1 of 3. I hope by the end of this you will all think I have earned the named Twisted. This was the first of many things I have planned for H.. Now with no more gelding the lily, we return to our hero.
(Lets us return to 11 years ago.)
Three shocked girls looked down upon their own death. Lady Fate held on to their souls so they could pass to her realm together. Shock turned to anger when Dumbledore stood up kidnapped Harry. What Dumbledore did to him was the worst then anything they could have imagined. It was Hermione who had the idea. "We can be reborn right? Harry is a baby right? So if we rush we could meet him again?
Fate just smiled. "You are indeed wise Hermione but you will no longer be soul bound to him. Being born breaks all bonds. I do have an idea; one of my gifts to Harry was denied so I can reclaim it. This will allow only one of you to bond with him. So who will it be?
A few hours later none of them would back down at another chance with Harry. Lady Fate could do a lot in the ways of normal love so she made them a vow. "I can think of no other way to do this, the first witch to get him to kiss her romantically wins the soul bond. I can help you all by assuring that you will all be born into his age range and that he will like you all till you give him cause not to."
"Hermione Granger you will be born in three months as Hermione Gray to muggles. Ginny Weasley you will be born of Bill and Flur named Ginny Weasley the II. you will be born of Serious Black and his soon to be wife Annabel, named Tonks Black. While I can't join you there in this form, I will give birth to myself. Don't worry I won't take the bond from any of you. My powers and memories will be limited by the mortal form but I hope to give you all the guidance I can and get a little Harry time myself. I am sorry but that is the best I can do, now to life with all of you!"
As soon as they all left she was left blinded once again to Harry Potter. His fate was still too closely tied into her own.
(Back to current time)
Matt woke to find himself very warm but something smelled intoxicating, like after a rain storm where everything smells fresh and clean. Like something he always wanted to smell but never had the chance. He opened up his eyes a little more, to find sometime during the night had had found his way under the covers and was not using Hermione's sexual area between her legs as a pillow. It was so warm and it smelled so good he cuddled his head into the most wonderful pillow in the world. Just as he was ready to get back to sleep he heard her moan and mumble something about matt and don't stop. He went out to touch her mind to see if she was wake. The answer came very quickly; he did not know girls had such vivid or 'naughty' dreams. Not wanting to intrude anymore then he already had, he withdrew into his own mind. He quickly tucked away the memory in box called '1 million useless things'. Just in case someone broke into his mind, he didn't want whoever it was to see that. That held all the things that ever happened that were random and fit no place else. Now he couldn't get back to sleep, he just kept checking the box over and over again. The urge to touch her was becoming too much for him. Something was wrong did normal 11 year olds have this urge. He didn't know but Hermione had the dream so at least he was not alone in the want.
He needed to eat and show his face around the castle; he could hold the form as long as he wanted but he would have hunger pains or death when he returned to a form that ate. So he pinned a note.
"Hermione I am leaving you a gift, it is a small bear on a silver chain. If you even need me or just want to see me just tap it with your wand. I have also placed very good wards on it; they will protect you till I arrive. When you first tap it; there will be a moment of pain; that is the charms I have placed on it linking up with fear or anger or pain, this will call me back to the bear automatically. I am also leaving you Mr. Bear; he is not charmed also but only so you won't ever lose him again. You never know when I might be joining you as Mr. Bear so if you are changing then please point him away from you.
Thanks for the best night sleep ever
Love Mathew xoxo
Matt as left the dorm room only to find himself face to face will Tonks; ok it was more fact to mid-calf; who appeared to be on her way to the bathroom. Tonks scoped Him up into her arms and knocked loudly on Hermione's door.
"Come on Matt someone is at the door, could you go get it." She poked him.
"Fine I'll get it." Hermione rolled over 'him' to see the note on, his side of the bed. It was single so side was a very loose term.
She looked at the bear on a chain and put it on. She would tap it when no one was at her door. "She opened the door to see Tonks holding matt.
"I think your stuffed animal was trying to escape. It is quite amazing bit of work on him; I have never seen anything like it I mean the frogs jump but open a door and try to sneak away is wow. Where did you get him?"
"I…ummm… Matt gave him to me. I lost one just like it when I was a child and he somehow found or made this one. "
"I see it came with a matching necklace; another gift from the masked man?"
"Yeah; he is very thoughtful"
"Wow great body, charming, powerful, intelligent and thoughtful. The list grows; did you hear about him in potions first year with Ginny?"
Hermione blushed. "No, what happened?"
"Well have you met Snape?"
"Not yet I have his class after lunch."
"Well Snape just left the potion on the board and left the class to figure it out when matt stepped in and taught the class, rumor is he is now working with Snape on secret projects and there is already a group of students looking for him to start a potion club, so they too can learn from him."
"Wow, so he can do potions too."
"What do you mean potions too?'
"Well he was teaching me transfiguration before class and he is amazing, if he helps I think I could take N.E.W.T and Mastery in Transfiguration before the end of this year."
"Wow, when do I get a turn, do you think he is good at charms too, I was having a lot of trouble with them yesterday?"
"I don't know but I think he will find you."
"I hope so, I mean I have heard other things floating around but I am not sure if they are true; he apparently dueled the headmaster and won without even drawing his wand. I wonder if there is anything he can't do?"
"I think he would say depends."
"You sound like you're really getting to know him. I think Ginny and Fate are going to be a little jealous."
Matt stopped listening at this point and he had found what he was looking for; a way to tap into the wards but he couldn't do it. That kind of magic couldn't be wielded by a man. He would need more research and he had just the book he needed up in his room, that up to this point he only glanced at; sad that no matter what he did it was forbidden to him.
Hermione laughed at Tonks. "I don't know what it would depend on but yes I am trying to get to know him better."
"I hope I get to know him as well I have to get to class; oh I almost forgot here is your bear."
"Why don't you keep him for a while I am sure Matt will find you if you are lugging that around."
"Are you sure, I mean Matt just gave it to you?"
"Yeah that is why he got me the necklace, he said the bear had bad habits like sneaking out on a girl who is still sleeping or trying to watch said girl change. I am sure he will come back when he wants to."
"Thanks Hermione, I'll take really good care of him."
"One last thing, matt said he had a lot of spell work on him so it might be wise to think of him as more of a boy and less as a bear but I found he is partial to my lap." Hermione wanted to say boobs' but she didn't have any yet.
Harry made a magical bear as a place holder and went to find the book he needed and get some food.
When he finished his reading, he made the bear disappear at the same moment he took its place beside Tonks in herb-bio. She was potting lily fangs. They had a nasty tendency to bite but they had no teeth so the worst they could do is give you a burse or two.
Tonks had just finished getting bit for the fourth time. When she saw the bear stand up and take her pen and pad from her pack and write something down.
"Tonks you're a girl, right?
She looked at the bear, taken back by the question. "Yes."
"Then can you blow me a kiss?"
She didn't see any harm, so she did.
"Great, now you know how to tame lily fangs. Just blow them a kiss and they will stop biting you."
She turned toward the plant and blew an angry kiss at them and nothing happened.
"You have to make them blush, blow the kiss at them like you did me, don't worry I am not the jealous type."
Tonks smiled and blew them a kiss and gave them a wink, to her amazement they turned from white to a light pink in color. At the end of the lesson the girls were all blowing kisses at the plants while the boys just got bit more if they tried.
Tonks and Matt left them room covered in dirt, it was a good lesson. "Oh no, you look at you, your filthy. I promised Hermione I would look after you and look what I did, I guess I'll just have to put you in the wash."
The moment she said 'put in the wash' Matt took off, he liked this form and wash was not something he ever wanted to put in. He knew he could have just switched places; but making Tonks run after him was just too good to pass up. He turned around as he heard Tonks yelp in pain. She had run into two fifth year boy who were looking down at her.
"You're that first year, right, that can change what she looks like? I have this poster on my wall, you could change into her and we can have a lot of fun."
This was not the first nor would it be the last time anyone ever did this too her but when he grabbed her pinning her arms to the sides of her body and the other boy grabbed her by the feet; moving he toward the class room. She was pleading for them to stop.
When he overheard want they were saying to the girl, something inside of him that he kept a very close check on, his magic was calling for their blood. When they touched her, it was ON!
He let his magic take control, in an instant he was no longer a 13 inch tall in brown stuffed bear; he was 13 foot tall 6 foot wide, not standing on his hind legs, bear made of all jaw, fangs, and mussel and it wanted blood. With a roar amplified by magic he pounced both of them pinning them to the ground. He licked his lips and proceeded to bite one of the boys head off. The sound of that boys head made a crunching sound and he chewed on it, in the bear form the blood tasted good; he wouldn't have to worry about lunch after this. At this point his was more bear then man and someone they just tried to hurt one of his family. Blood gushed from the body still kicking on the ground. It smelled like dinner and the other boy quickly followed to meet with Fate.
Lady fate went through all of the boys memories. "I see you learned, life's greatest lesson a little too late. Don't mess with Harry Potter mates. You will find no sympathy here, you have been judged as unclean and unfit to enter back into my realm. I hear by sentence you to burn till there is nothing left. With that they screamed as fire slowly consumed their souls and Fate absorbed the power from their souls as she did to all of the 'unclean'. "It is good to know you are doing well Harry, I hope my body comes back with a ton of memories."
Tonks fainted; the cute bear she had been flirting with just ate two boys that attacked her. It was a bloody but quick death. She didn't even see the bear return to normal bear form but a lot of other people did.
She awoke in the hospital wing, bright green eyes looking down at her. "Are you ok Tonks? I am sorry; I didn't mean to kill anyone." Harry was remorseful for what he had done. When his head jerked towards the door, "The headmaster is coming I am sorry Tonks but 'sleep'." Tonks didn't have a choice she was in a very deep sleep before the door to the hospital opened.
"Mr. Dumbledore why are you hear?"
"Just looking after a friend, why are you here?"
"This girl was in the possession of an item that killed two young men, an item that we have yet to find. She will be expelled as soon as she wakes and tells us where it is."
"I can't allow you to do that." Matt was calm as ever.
"You don't have a choice in the matter, I am the headmaster."
"It is not her fault. I made it she didn't even know what it was."
"So you made it you know you are responsible for what it does right?"
"Yes, she had nothing to do with this. I killed them and would do it again in a heartbeat to save her."
"So where is it?"
"Hiding in Hermione's room but you will seek no action against me. For I didn't do anything wrong."
"Explain yourself?"
"They were going to rape her Sir. Unless you allow that kind of thing at your school perhaps I should contact her parents and the paper to let them know what kind of place you are running. Oh maybe I should contact the DMLE to see what they have to say about stopping someone from being raped?"
"I get your point but can't you prove it you were nowhere near the incident?"
"The bear is equipped with a memory pensive system and before you ask, yes, I learned how to make them, no, I will not share this information with you as per act "Spells and crafting" bylaws of 1805 where it clearly states that if a spell is used before such time as it is published the creator has the right to only reveal the spell to the Unspeakables. To determine if the spell works and that if it was involved in committing the crime. I have already sent my notes on my 'L.A.L.- undefined object' to them for approval, they fully know what it can do and how it responds, the bear is so far prototype for the future models and they will tell you as soon as they can pen the letter. It has been approved all spells on it work properly and it abides by the 2005 updated bylaws. So when the prototype killed them it was within the law. So now that we know the spells work properly and it is not a restricted item, I would say as soon as the letter gets here we can clear this whole matter up. If you let it go so shall I but if you make me call him down here, I swear I will have your ass replaced in the next month." Matt had again handed Tom his ass on a silver plate after a good kicking.
Several hours' later Tonks work to green eyes again, only the time in was a stuffed bear sitting on her chest. She threw her arms around the bear. "Thank you, so much I don't know what would have happened if your bear had not been there."
Matt just held on tight, overjoyed that she was ok.
Tonks got a good look at the bear; it was still covered in mud and blood from day's events. "Come on my hero lets go get you cleaned up."
Matt started to struggle from her grip; he would not be taken to the laundry.
"I never thought a boy bear who loved girls laps so much would struggle so much about showering with a girl but I can't give you back to Hermione like this so quit fighting."
He stopped fighting and quickly stated to fight want Vr's doing what's right. On one hand Tonks was beautiful and he got to see her naked on the other was she thought he was a bear. He would have to tell her.
He pressed on her mind, "Tonks it is me Matt I am the bear."
When she heard the voice she dropped Matt to the floor.
"I am sorry, I should have told you."
"You mean you could have showered with me and you choice to instead tell me it was you." She picked him back up and hugged him. "That is very noble of you Matt."
"I can take care of myself so I guess I will see you later."
"No, you have more than earned a reward so you're still going to get the shower."
"Tonks; you, me in the shower together, you don't mind a boy seeing you like that."
She took a moment to think about it."No, I don't mind at all. Not if it is you. I kind of have a crush on you". Why was it so easy to talk to him when he was a bear? "Plus you saved my virtue it is only fair that you someday get to take it."
After a short stop by her room to pick up her things to shower, she told Matt to wait here while she went to check something out. She left her room and knocked on Hermione's door.
"Hey Tonks where is the bear, did he try to run off again? Don't worry if he did I am sure I will see him again."
"Can we talk inside please?"
"Sure come on in."
"This is actually about matt, also known as your bear. I can't believe you didn't tell me what the bear was. He saved my life today and now he is sitting in my room waiting for me to come back. I promised him a shower."
"You can't do that, you know it is matt, he will see you naked."
"I like him, he saved me. I know you like him too so what are we going to do about this?"
"I don't know you are one of my few friends and I don't want to fight over him or him to come between us." Hermione knew what she wanted; she was always more attracted to women than men with Matt being the exception to the rule. She summoned up her courage. "We could always share him; I mean no need to force him into making a choice."
"Are you trying to get in on my shower time?" Tonks couldn't believe what she was saying, she was flirting with Hermione.
Hermione caught on what Tonks was doing. Tonks was a good friend and very attractive. She kept telling herself 'just do it'. Than she did she bent towards Tonks and kissed her softly on the lips before pulling away. She opened her eyes to see Tonks reaction before she could judge anything she was kissed by Tonks, who was pressing her lips firmly against Hermione's.
Tonks had kissed a few boys before, mostly older boys but kissing Hermione was different, she tasted like mint, her lips were softer. Tonks never thought of women in a romantic way before but the moment Hermione kissed her something just felt right.
They broke the kiss. "Get your stuff. I'll get Matt and I'll meet you in the shower in 3 minutes". Tonks said as she bounced out of the room. "Oh and don't forget to wear your swim suit, we are after all only 11."
Hermione didn't want to argue, she now had a girlfriend or at least she hoped she did something she wanted for as long as she could remember. She did have a suit in her trunk she thought the school would have a pool. All her non-magical schools did. It did have a lake that she would not be swimming in because she read it is host to a giant squid.
Tonks returned to her room to find Matt gone with a note left on her bed.
My Dear Tonks
I am sorry to leave without saying good bye but I can't accept such an offer. It would not have defended your virtue so just to have it stomped if it was to get out I am the bear. I had a great time with you today for the most part. Just so you know you look like an angel while you are sleeping. I have left you a gift so that even when I am not around I am still around. If you even need me or just want to see me just tap it with your wand. I have also placed very good wards on it; they will protect you till I arrive. When you first tap it, there will be a moment of pain which is the charms I have placed on it linking up with fear, anger, or pain, this will call me back to the bear automatically. I truly hope this is never needed again but I want nothing more than to keep you safe. Your bear will change color depending on your hair color.
Love
Mathew James Dumbledore xoxo
P.s It will change color depending on your hair color, and I don't mind pink at all.
Matt needed to get to Fate but that could wait till tomorrow.
Tonks gathered up her stuff, no use crying over a runaway bear. Someday there might be but not today. She had a date with a stunning brunet in a few moments. Well since Matt was not going to be there she could ditch the idea of a swimsuit. The showers were private enough that even with other girls in their no one could look under and see two set of feet as long as they exited secretly no one would notice.
Hermione was already in the bath room in a light blue robe that fell mid-thy.
"Where is a Matt?"
"You're the one who said he had a bad habit of running off"
"I guess I did, didn't I?"
"So…"Hermione was feeling shy all of a sudden. The thought about showering with them was a delightful idea but actually doing it was different.
"No one else is here, you're still welcome to join me."
A blush was creeping down Hermione's face and neck. "Sorry Tonks I have been thinking about it and I can't do this yet. I like you a lot and I hope you like me I am just not ready to something like this."
"I understand but will you at least consider being my girlfriend?"
"Yes, I was hoping you would ask." Hermione was now more of a rose pink then a peach color.
"Well I couldn't just let you kiss me and then run off could I?
"Can I kiss you again?"
"You don't have to ask, you can just kiss me." Tonks was grinning like she stole something.
Hermione leaned forward and kissed Tonks on the lips. She never knew she could be so lucky.
Matt made it back to his room without running into anyone on the way and settled down into a peaceful night sleep.
He awoke in the morning and decided that he like waking up next to Hermione a lot more. He had a mission and a goal; he would need to see Tonks, Hermione, Ginny, and Fate all at the same time. He didn't know why but seemed like a perfect mix. He felt an instant attraction to them. He knew where Hermione and Tonks were due to the Bear charms he gave both of them. He needed to find Fate today and Ginny then get them to agree to meet him. If he rushed he could find them both at breakfast.
He penned a note so he could hand it to them and took off towards the great hall.
He went to Hermione first and dropped off the note, then Tonks, then Ginny who blushed when she read it, and lastly Fate who whispered he was cuter in bear form.
The letter read:
I need to talk to you all please meet me in the library, after breakfast. I have a project I am working on but need all of your help.
Love Mathew xoxo
When Tonks and Hermione entered holding hands, he was shocked but love is love he told himself. When they were all seated he started to speak. "I know why you are all wondering the reason I have called you here. I am going to give you the truth and what is expected of you all, you don't have to do this so don't feel as if you have to. I want you to form a coven".
For a moment they looked at him shocked. "Matt we can't coven magic had been lost for thousands of years. It is only a myth that is actually existed." Hermione was such a wealth of knowledge.
"Yes it is a lost art my father and I found it years ago while researching something. Now why I want this is simple, Hogwarts has a magical core and the only way to tap into someone's or in this case something's magical core is with Coven-Craft. The world is getting more and more drawn into darkness. The only way to keep Hogwarts safe is to give more power to the wards. I know many rituals that we can use to give you all greater power. I hope that the coven will continue to grow and that with the power we can save Hogwarts from the outside world, as well as rid it's halls of evil. You may think I am crazy but in the last 10 years over a third of the magical population has died, been raped, murdered, and has increased over 450%. This is not natural this is magical I can feel it. I am asking you all to trust me and help me save the world and this is only the first step."
It was fate who first over came the shock of what he was saying. "I think your plan so far is wonderful, I'm in."
There were nods of approval from around the table.
"Ok, now on to the book. I have four copies of it. I have book and marked the pages that deal with creating a coven and what it will mean, also marked is the ritual to bond to a magical core. A lot of the chapters I could not read and nor will you all till the coven is formed. Please take your time and read the book; we will use my room to perform the ritual, I will go get it ready."
Coven Craft – Chapter 1 How to form a coven and things you should know.
None of what is said in this book should be taken lightly, search yourself and be truthful.
The creation of a coven is a sacred ritual that will bond you to your coven-mates for life. It has far reaching powers some of which will be coved later in this chapter, now on to the rules.
1- No man shall ever be allowed into a coven.
2- No lies are allowed while in the circle.
3- No one is allowed to leave, as it means a sure death
4- No one is allowed to harm a coven mate.
5- No one can act against a coven mate.
6- There has to be at least 4 witches to start a coven.
Now that you know the basic rules, on to the ritual:
1 Gather into a circle.
2 Hold hands.
3 state your name and what you bring to the coven. In the form of 'I (your full name here) and I bring (whatever you bring to the coven. This can be anything emotions, personality traits, of just an object. You can offer as many things as you want to the coven and you can repeat).'
4 after you say what you offer to the coven, ask each person by name if they accept, in the form of 'Do you (there name here) accept what I have offered and welcome me into the coven. Wait for a response of 'I do'. Then move on to the next person.
5 Next say this all together. "We the coven of (its name here) speak it into being our bond.
6 All together state the purpose of the coven, it can be anything in the form of, "We the coven of (its name here) ask the goddess to bless us on our quest of (the reason you are forming a coven. End with saying) 'so mote it be.'
7 Wait for the Goddess blessing. It comes in many different ways but it is always clear if the coven has truly formed.
See picture below for a picture of the circle that will need to be drawn.
Now that you know the ritual we will start with the most drastic changes.
1- The most dramatic change will be in power, you will find that each member is a lot more powerful than before.
2- You will find yourself sharing emotions with your coven mates.
3- In time you can share knowledge and memories also.
4- You may find yourself attracted to one member or your entire coven.
5- You will each receive a new magical power. This also is very different from witch to witch.
6- You coven maybe assigned a magical guardian.
7- This maybe all but each coven is different, later chapters deal with some of the blessings other coven's where given.
Now get together with your potential coven mates and discuss what you all bring and the reason you are forming the coven. I wish you luck. May the goddess be with you. Next chapter will deal with rank and adding members to a coven.
Hermione finished reading first, but the rest finished soon after.
"Wow that is a lot to take in." She said as soon as Ginny finished reading.
"I want to bring Knowledge and Intuition to the coven." Fate said looking off into space.
"I think I want to bring Cunning and Hope" Ginny chimed in.
"I want to bring Loyalty and Love" Tonks was beaming.
"I want to offer Courage and Compassion, and I think we should name ourselves 'The Coven of the Light.' Hermione continued. "Now for the reason we are forming, I think we should be honest. Something along the lines of protecting the world from on come darkness". It took them a little while to Hammer out the details. It took them even longer to get in to practice, so they could do the ritual without making a mistake.
Matt had just finished drawing the ritual, when he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in it is open."
The four Girls walked in. Ginny spoke up first. "We are ready."
Matt just Nodded and left the room.
Lady Fate looked down and a look of sheer joy crossed her face as she saw for the first time in 2000 years a coven was forming. It was just not any coven either. It was Harry's girls minus Luna. Her father did not just leave her brother gifts, hers was full control over any coven magic and the gifts they received.
The girls spoke in unison "We the Coven of the Light ask the goddess to bless us on our quest of, 'Defending the world from evil in all its forms, also guiding it to a new era of prosperity, tolerance, and equality for all races. So mote it be.'
Then they waited. A few moments later a small light appeared on the floor but it grew quickly to take the shape of a woman who looked a lot like Sarah Fate, only older and a lot more glow-e. With her arrival memories flooded into their heads. Hermione was the first to recognize who she was, so she was the first one into her arms.
"Hello I have come to grant you my blessing in forming this coven. I don't normally come myself but you have given me a gift one of the things I desire most. I can now see what is going on in Harry's life. Even if you hadn't I would still have much to thank you for. Hermione my dear," Fate paused to kissed Hermione. "I have many gifts to give you all, so now we will proceed. Hermione I give you the gift of legitimacy, you will know when anyone has spoken a lie to you. Ginny I give you the gift of Healing, your knowledge and power in the field will be a thing of legend. Tonks I give you the gift of True Change, you can now take the form of anything and gain its natural powers. To you Sarah I give you the gift of, True Sight this will allow you to look back on to events of the past see them as they happened, you will need to use this gift sparingly because the human mind was not made to exist in two times at once. "
"Now for my gifts to the coven I give you all a larger combined core. You will all draw power from the same core, why this means you will have 4 times the amount of magic as you would alone. If one of you should magically exhaust yourself you all will. A true Coven is 13 members at least while you are in the circle you will be the most powerful thing to ever walk the earth. No other member will be able to draw from your now combined core.
My next gift to the coven comes in the form of Knowledge, I can't give you the memories from your past life but I can give you the knowledge that Mathew James Dumbledore is in fact Harry Potter and the fact that Albus Dumbledore still lives. The next gift is two in one and also you're covens guard, this is very unique so I must ask you all if you accept. I offer you the greatest protection I can offer, my gift is that of Harry himself, instead of bonding him to the first of you he kissed, I would bind his soul the coven. That means all members would be soul bond to Harry. He will serve as the covens guard."
"9 others at least, I remember being soul bond to him, it was wonderful. Will we all still retain the powers from the last bond?" Hermione ask.
"Yes, Hermione you will indeed protect his mind, Ginny his body, Tonks his soul, with Fate now protecting his Magic but this time he will do all 4 for all member of the coven. Something I over looked last time."
"Then I agree." Hermione got what she came back for her Harry. 9 or a million she saw what he said right after her death.
"We all agree." Sarah Spoke up.
Ginny and Tonks nodded in agreement.
"Good the bond will form when he first kisses anyone of you. Now I must leave you once again but now I am watching and looking over you." Lady Fate was gone.
The girls exited to room to see a stuffed bear lying innocently beside the door. They knew the bear was in fact Harry Potter, protector of The Coven of the Light, bound by soul magic to protect them all. Hermione picked up Harry and hugged before returning to his room. Once the door was closed; Matt changed back to a human.
"So how did it go? I can see you all have a lot more magic so I know it went well enough. What gifts did you get? Tell me everything you can."
They spent the next few hours talking about most things leaving out all the really important knowledge they gained about him and the soul bond.
"Great, it will take 21 days for me to get the ritual ready for the coven to bind with a magical core so you are all free to do whatever it is cute young witches do these days". Some-days Mathew felt like he was in his mid twenties, then some days he felt 11. He knew he was mature for his age but now he just felt like a boy and wanted nothing more than to spend the day goofing off.
Matt looked up from the Coven- Craft book to see no one had moved they were just sitting there looking at each other and him. "What is it? Do I have egg on my face?"
"We wouldn't know if you did, that mask hides everything but your eyes and hair." Ginny teased him.
"I want to see the face of the man who saved me would you mind taking it off?" Tonks had two goals; one finding out if he really was Harry Potter and two kissing him.
"I can't, I gave my word I wouldn't, I would never break a promise. When I have fulfilled the promise I will take it off, not one second before."
The list of promises that Harry could have made Dumbledore was endless. Even in fake death the old man was still pulling strings. This time Harry was the perfect puppet.
Fate knew there was more to the story. "What's the promise?"
"Huh?" Was all Matt said.
"I asked what was the promise and who was it made too?"
"You didn't ask that!" Matt accused.
"So you did hear me." Fate mused.
"That is personal."
"Well, it is the million galleon question. We formed a coven for you, without anything but your word so what I asking for is you to trust us."
"Your right, you all deserve to know, my father asked to not remove the mask till I found someone I love."
Hermione was shocked. "Doesn't the mask have the opposite effect, love is about being open and a mask is about hiding."
"My father was a great man, I don't understand it but I trust him. There is a good reason behind everything he does. If I don't find someone who I love, then I will die in this mask and will not regret it."
None of them could breach the subject of Albus still being alive. So they sat in silence. With books in their hands, hours passed.
"Matt can I ask you a favor?" Tonks looked very serious at this moment.
"Anything in my power as long as it doesn't break a promise I have made before."
"No I don't think it does, do you have any plans today?"
"No, I was just going to read up on the ritual."
Hermione, Ginny, and Fate wondered where she was going with this.
"Good now for my 'anything". Come with me and anyone I choose up to your bedroom, I want you to lie on your back and not move unless I ask you too."
"You can't ask that of me, how do I know you're not going to stab me?"
"You should have thought of that before you gave me your word. Mr. my word is my bond. Hermione, Ginny, Fate would you like to join me?"
"My word is my bond. I will do as you ask." Matt glared at her.
Matt climbed onto his bed, never taking his eyes off Tonks.
"Stay, we girls need to talk for a moment and no eavesdropping."
"So what's your plan?" Hermione looked at Tonks.
"I didn't think it out any farther than this."
Hermione looked like she was about to fly off the handle.
"Fine you all go wait in his living room. I think we should all get some alone time with him and I am first because Tonks Black here has no plan."
"Ok then Miss. Hermione Gray, what is your plan?"
"Simple I plan on seducing him." She turned doing the hair flip and walked back into Matt's bedroom closing the door behind her.
"Are you planning on kill me because it won't work?"
"No we have much longer plans for you." Hermione took a seat beside him on the bed. "Roll over and take off your shirt."
"Tonks said not to move a mussel."
"Do you want me to call her in, I am sure she will agree with me."
"Fine, I don't understand why you are doing this, what could have happened for you all to do this to me?"
"We not planning anything evil, we are just trying to get you to open up."
"There are better ways you know you could try talking to me."
"That is exactly what I am doing, now shirt off and roll over."
Matt complied.
Hermione gasped when she saw him shirtless. He was well sculpted but it was the massive amount of scars on his body. It looked as if he had been put into a blender, shot, stabbed, whipped, hexed, and cursed.
"What happened to you?"
"You don't get to be masters of battle magic by sitting around, 75 % of them are from training, the others are failed attempts to kill me."
"How many attempts on your life has there been?"
"I don't know too many to count. The ones that were successful didn't leave any scars. Yes I am telling you I can't die. You could A.K. me right now and with your current power I would not even notice."
"You have to be kidding me?" Then she remembered what the book said about Harry Potter the only person to survive the killing curse. She traced her fingers over the scars on his back. "Do they hurt?"
"No, most of them are very important lessons my father taught me. Some he didn't even know he was teaching me. See the long red one that stretches from my shoulder to my hip. Flame whip spell, taught me about fear. Sometimes fear of something worse than it actually is, this taught me that this is not always true. It also taught me something about myself. I will never give up."
She was tracing each scar like it held a memory, she wish she could see them as she touched them. "You know you can have them removed?"
"I know but they are part of me, a reminder of whom and what I am." Her fingers on his skin, was intoxicating, in the moment he felt like he could tell her anything.
"You are a hero Ha … Matt, in all since of the word", She brushed he her nose to his back and let her lips fall tenderly on the shoulder end of the flame scar.
"I am not a hero, I am just a boy trying to do the best I can. I have a burden but somehow you make my life seem a lot simpler."
Hermione giggled, she knew that is was not going to make his life any easier 13 women would drive any man crazy. "You have no clue what is in store for you."
"Umm, Hermione you making me nervous."
"It is nothing, just one of the blessings the Goddess gave us, it is kind of the reason you are here."
"I thought it was because Tonks ambushed me, I didn't think I would end topless on a bed."
"She tried to get you to shower with her yesterday, you should know her intentions."
"We are only 11; she should not have those intentions."
"Why not, let us look at this from her point of view. A boy about her age shows up wearing a mask, he has raven black hair, and breath taking emerald green eyes. He is powerful beyond anything that has even been heard of. He is flirty and sweet, oh then he saves your virtue, and maybe your life. I think is quite reasonable she wants to be your girlfriend. Even I must admit she is kind of forward. "
"When you put it like that, I guess I understand but why are you here?"
"Well something's are private but I like you and I want to get to know the boy behind the mask and the power. I guess I just feel that my place is beside you. Now turn over, I would love to stay longer but my turn is over "
Harry turned over, only to have Hermione see Hermione's face inches away from his. Then she kissed his mask, right where his lips would be. Before she leaned down further and whispered into his ear. "Soon, I hope, soon." Hermione exited the room.
Harry put his shirt back on and waited. He liked his Father but what was love and how would he know if was in love? He knew desire, that was easy, but love… he was stumped.
Fate was up next and entered the room. "So Mr. Dumbledore, it is pleasure to see you, do you have any questions?"
"Yeah I have more than a few but I don't know you have the answers?"
"You don't know unless you ask?"
"Well, first off thanks for joining the coven and I am Mathew James Dumbledore, it is good to meet you."
"Oh we have met before, many times."
"I am sorry but I don't remember you."
"Oh maybe it was a dream I had."
"So…"
"Don't be so nervous, I am not Tonks, you may want to ask me to do some spell work before she arrives if you want to leave this room with what you came in with."
"Yeah but that can wait, you are a seer right?"
"Sometimes."
"So what brings you here, do you know something of the future that I should know?"
"Oh you should know a lot of things but we don't have time in the life time to cover them all so maybe you could ask something precise?"
"Sure, will I win?"
"No, you lose in all possible futures you lose."
"Damn, do I make a difference?"
"Yes, A huge one."
"Well at least I help so I will continue till I do lose."
"Tonks is right you are very noble, any more questions?"
"A few, why are you here and why did you join the coven?"
"I am here because Tonks asked me; and I wanted to come and I joined the coven because you asked me if I wanted to."
"But what are the reasons behind the choice to do both?"
"Well I came here because I know that you needed me here and I joined the coven because you needed me there."
"Why did I need you?"
"First to save you from Tonks, you will most likely thank me later; and because a coven with too much power and not enough sight can easily be lost in their attempt to do the right thing and I don't think you need to have another problem to worry about."
"Is there anything else, as why you are here?"
"Let me ask you a question in response to that, if you knew that tomorrow would bring about your death but it would save someone close to you, would you walk into your own death?
Matt thought for a second. "Yes."
Now if you knew in 2 weeks you would die and there is nothing you can do about it, would you take bigger risks, spend more money, skip class, try to cram as much life as you could to those two weeks."
"I think so yes."
"Now say I told you would meet your true love in 2 years, would you stop looking now?"
"Yeah it is two years away so I wouldn't bother looking."
"In the first one you could have choice not to save them and thus not die."
"The second one, I may cause your death because you took more risks."
"On the third, you may never meet your love because you didn't catch her smiling at you the month before."
"So in telling you three things, I could ruin your life or get you killed. You have to be careful with information of the future."
"So what you're telling me is the even if you can see the future, you can't do anything about it."
"No, what I am telling you is that there are something's I can tell you and something's I can't."
"Ok, I just want to know if I will ever fall in love."
"Yes 13 or more times."
"Do you know who they are?"
"I know some of them."
"13 times, that is a lot for one life time."
"I was only talking about the next 7 years."
"Oh" Matt heart sank in the next 7 years, he thought there you be 12 heart breaks in store for him.
"You have already fallen twice even if you don't know it yet."
Matt though for a second. "Hermione and Tonks."
"You are very good at this but that is not my seeing the future just more of a guess. I know Tonks likes you and Hermione the way she was holding you in your bear form, I can only guess she does."
"Thanks but I don't think I have fallen in love."
"Have you ever done it before?"
"No."
"Then we shall trust my opinion."
"Have you ever fallen in love?"
"Can't tell you that."
"Oh no, that could only mean one thing." Matt put 1 and 1 together and got 3 somehow
"You, you have or will fall in love with me, I mean for what you told me is that people should not know too much about what is going to happen to them so if you can't tell me I could only conclude that it had to do with you and me and love. "
"Wow, you are very good at putting things together."
"Yes I am one of the 13 you will fall in love with. I think sometime in this conversation."
"Damn, well I could do a lot worse you are very attractive."
"I know I am still waiting on my bear but I know it will come in time."
"You know you are very scary right?"
"Only till you understand just what it means to fall in love."
"I guess so but I can't just trust your word that all of this is true."
"I know Matt, give it time and you will come to your own conclusions or you could just kiss me and then you will know what I say is true."
"You know I can't not till…"
"I know, I am looking forward to it but I think you should kiss someone else before me."
"Who?"
"Can't."
"Will I enjoy it?"
"Very much so."
"So how much time to you have left?"
"Tonks wants her turn with you, I am pretty sure Hermione told Tonks she got your shirt off."
"Oh, do you think she will be mad?"
"No, not unless you refuse to do it for her also."
"I know you all formed a coven, won't I be a problem for you if you all like me, I could feel Ginny's pulse race when I got close to her in potions. Plus if she didn't why would she be here?"
"That is a good question, as to the answer." Fate stuck her tongue out at him. "You have to ask her."
'Damn she is just too cute. Double damn she was right.' Matt tried to deny what he was thinking but I was there no escaping it now.
"Well I can see it now in your eyes; I'll take my bear now." Fate pulled her long black hair out of the way.
Matt took out his wand and begun the casts of the spells, it took 30 seconds of casting nonstop magic to make a bear. "Before I seal the magic in, do you want any augments? "
"I would like if it would to have a warming charm to alert me to you being there."
One quick cast later, he put the chain around her neck.
"Good now it is time for me to go. Do you want me to send in Tonks if so I can spell you pants so she can't taken them off."
"No if I can't trust her not to violate me then, it is better to know now."
"Okay I'll send Ginny in then, that should work just as well." With that she turned and left the room.
Ginny entered the room and smiled at Matt. "So I here Hermione striped you and had her way with you?"
"That is…"
"Did I say you could speak? You are not to move, if I have to get Tonks in here to repeat what I tell you then I will." Ginny bounced over to his bed side.
"Ok we are going to play a game, it is one of my favorite childhood stories Bill told me. I am going to be playing my Aunt Ginny Weasley and you are going to be playing Harry Potter and we are going to act out your daring rescue of me from the chamber of secrets. You may speak now."
"I don't know the story."
Ginny gasped Harry Potter didn't know his own story. She recounted it very accurately as told by Ginny in a not so enchanted diary. It did have a few changes. He went down into the chamber because he loved her, more kissing, true love and a happy ending with wedding vows that Ginny the first wrote for Harry. The play ended and Ginny flopped down on the bed.
"See now you know where I get my looks, name and love of green eyed wizards."
"But where is your aunt Ginny?"
"Died during her fourth year at Hogwarts, she was killed. No one knows who did it or why. It was also the day Hermione and …" what were the chances that three girls with very similar looks and names would arrive back at Hogwarts at the same time a boy they now knew to be Harry Potter showed up, not to mention the forth in the group named FATE who was a seer. "Bloody Hell…you, me, Hermione, Tonks,…Fate." She growled at the last name.
"Will you please tell me what is going on?"
"Ok back to the bed and no talking, you can ask questions after I am done. 11 years ago there were 3 deaths and 1 disappearance from the great hall, three girls and one boy; Hermione Granger, Tonks, Ginny Weasley, and Harry Potter. I look a lot like my aunt. I bet if we find pictures of Tonks and Hermione they will look a lot alike too. I am willing to bet anything that under the mask you look a lot like Harry Potter. I think that when we died 11 years ago, we choice to come back, now I don't think normally people come back as themselves but when you join our group with of four with a lady named Fate, which is the name of the Goddess who blessed our coven, something fishy is going on and why no one seems to noticed. Ok I am done you can speak now."
"I don't think Harry Potter died I think I am that Harry Potter, I can't make magical a oath using the name my father gave me. The sorting hat thought I killed Harry Potter and took his magic. I wish my father was here I have a lot of questions that need answering."
"Your father is not Albus Dumbledore by chance?"
"He was headmaster here till I was born and then he retired to take care of me. He died just a little while ago. "
"Harry."
"Yeah?"
"Your father is not dead."
"Not, not dead I dug his grave myself."
"The Goddess fate told us, why would she lie?" Ginny was backing away from him the power he kept in tight control of was flaring.
"Ma…Harry your scaring me."
"Leave!"
"Harry I'm so sorry…" She felt the door knob hit her in the back and she exited not wanting to anger him anymore.
"Tonks I think we should stop, he is in overload I just told him his father is not dead and that he is Harry Potter." Ginny looked like she had been run over by the Hogwarts Express.
Tonks burst into the room, to see not a powerful wizard but a young boy crying. She ignored what her mind was telling; 'run'. She followed her heart and that lead to her sitting on the bed hugging him.
Harry cried for the first time in 'this life' he broke down and cried after he had no more tears in him, he looked at Tonks. "Why?"
"I don't know?" Tonks just held on tighter.
"Thank you so much, I think I scared Ginny away."
"Yes you did but you will find some way of making it up to her."
"Girls are strange!"
"I know love."
"Feel better?"
"A lot, I just want to know why he lied to me."
"You will have to ask him, I am sure you will get a chance."
Hours past while she just held him, "Harry, I have to go to class. Would you like to come it's charms I could use your help."
"Sure, charms can be hard." Harry changed into bear form.
"No Harry, I would like to go with you."
"Ok" Harry needed to be seen anyway so he changed back.
"Oh if anyone asks I revenged you but you are too much of a gentleman to say more."
Harry and Tonks exited the room to find Ginny sitting alone on a chair. "Do you mind if I talk to her, I'll meet you down in the charms room, if I get there before class starts then I join you."
"Sure Harry, she needs you more than I do."
Tonks exited the room as quietly as she could.
Harry went and knelt down beside Ginny. "I am so sorry I blew up at you."
"It wasn't supposed to be this way."
"How was it supposed to be?"
"You were supposed to fall in love with me and then kiss me. Now it is gone you hate me." She said as she started to sob.
"I don't hate you, please stop crying. If anything you should hate me."
"I don't hate you Harry, I am sorry"
"Shh there is nothing for you to be sorry about" Harry put his hands on top of hers. "Forgive me, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
"Can you teach me something?"
"Anything." Harry didn't care if she wanted to know how to rip someone soul out of their body and use it to gain power, anything to make it up to her.
"What do you know about soul bonds?"
"I couldn't make it to charms on time even if I flew there so, we do have time. Well soul bonds are just that, they are powerful old magic that binds two souls together. They last a life time and if one member of a soul bond dies so does the other. There are rituals and spells and potions that can reproduce the effects of a true soul bond but they are cheep imitations. It is a blessed union, no outside magic can sunder. Soul bonds are said to be based in love, the more love between the two people the stronger the bond the more magical it is. Soul bonds can be broken by the two involved with it but is hard and the person who breaks it dies, leaving the other person alive. There was a case where this happen a woman was captured and was going to be killed so instead of letting death take both of them. She broke the bond and he lived, he lived a hollow life wishing he was dead till he finally killed himself to end his misery.
Now, the effects of soul bonds are widely disputed and seem to differ from couple to couple. It is hard to study because they are so rare. The last one being over 250 years ago and then one before that was 650 years go approximately. So they spring up from time to time. They are so rare no laws exist to protect them from being taken away from each other but doing so will cause their death. The stronger the witch and wizard, the less being apart does to them. There is no normal amount of time before they can't stand to be far apart but it does happen.
The witch and wizard in the soul bond have always done amazing things for society. The philosopher's stone was one of the things that came out of a bonded couple. No one knows if this is because the bond is only formed between two powerful and intelligent people or if the bond makes them so. The bond also prevents either from cheating on the other, by consent or force."
"Wow how do you know so much?"
"My father was very interested in them, we sought out many Tombs and forgotten libraries to gather books. We found books on magic before it was called magic. They weren't so much books as stone carvings. Did you know that before there were people here, there were other sentient humanoids. They stuck around just to teach mankind in its current form, magic and then left. Many voodoo and Wiccan rituals have a lot of truth in them. They are just distorted by time and being passed only from person to person."
Merlin was a witch Doctor, I believe after reading his earlier writing and when he stumbled upon one of the libraries and then he became a wizard as we know them today. My father and I found his tomb and library he was buried in. We couldn't break in, not from lack of power but out of respect for the man. Plus we have found the library so we studied it. We don't think that there is anything beyond the chamber to his crypt except him and his personal spell book and staff."
"Wow, why not share this with the world?"
"Some of the things we discovered are very dangerous to be trusted to people. So as much as I would like to give the knowledge to people, they would just find it new ways to kill each other. "
"Oh."
"So are you feeling better or do you want to ask me another question. I still have time before I go and meet Tonks."
"Just one, how would you feel about being soul bonded to someone?"
"I guess it wouldn't matter how I feel, it is beyond me power to do anything about, I guess I would feel happy know there was someone out there for me."
"What if it wasn't someone but someone's?"
"Soul bonds don't work that way, or not that we know of but love is love right. Look at Hermione and Tonks."
They spent the next hour talking about things that they wanted to learn and school topics.
"For someone as brilliant as you are you are kind of slow." Ginny laughed.
"I have a lot on my mind so, would you be so kind to inform me what I am missing?"
"I could tell you but then you would have to kiss me."
"No I wouldn't."
"Yes you would."
"NO I WOULDN'T!"
"YES YOU WOULD!"
"WOULDN'T.!"
"WOULD!"
"WOULDN'T!"
"WOULD!"
"WOULD NOT!"
"Bet ya would!"
"Bet you I wouldn't" Harry had lost all since of this might not be a good idea.
"Bet ya would!" This was going better then she expected.
"Fine what are your stakes?" Harry was getting tired of this game
"If after I tell you what you are missing, if you don't want to kiss me I'll give you anything you want."
"Anything because I have quite a list of things that I need to do. Breakfast in bed for the rest of our time in Hogwarts oh and you can do my laundry and recopy my homework after I edit it, you will do all the things I normally do for myself but don't enjoy for the next 7 years"
"Okay if I win, then you give yourself into your want and kiss me."
"We can get Hermione to be the judge her power will let me know if you are telling the truth."
Harry was backed into a corner, if her agree then he would have to kiss her if he lost but if he won then he got a little worker to help him what could she tell him that he already didn't know or that would make him want to kiss her. "Fine but you are going to regret this day."
"I might but I don't think so and I hope you don't either."
"Tell me what I am missing."
"I am going to state this very clearly so you understand. You Harry James Potter and I, Ginny Weasley the Second, are soul bonded and when you kiss me the bond will form."
Harry's heart nearly stopped beating, in fact it did but being who he was it didn't take long for him to recover. "Are you sure?"
"Yes I am sure and now you want to kiss me to find out if I am telling the truth."
"I swear if you are lying to me about this… I don't know what I'll do. You know how important my word is to me."
"Harry there is more but it is not my place to tell you but after the kiss I will tell you."
"I will kiss you but you lost the bet. I don't want to kiss you I need to kiss you."
"No you want to kiss me also but we will get Hermione to sort of the semantics."
"Now mask off and kiss me!"
"Can you close your eyes, I am kind of nervous."
Harry reached for his mask, when BANG! The door slammed open and in raced Hermione.
"Ginny what do you think you are doing!"
"I was about to kiss Harry before you interrupted."
"You were going to steal his first kiss. You should be ashamed."
"Hey you had all the cards I did but I got here first, you can wait your turn, mask Harry!"
"I don't think so Ginny; it is only fair we joust for it." Hermione was talking about Rock, Paper, Moose!
"Don't I have a say in this, me and Ginny are soul bond so I have to kiss her to find out if she is telling the truth."
"Oh you are soul bound to her and she is to you but what she didn't tell you is that there is more than the two of you in the mix."
"Ginny what is she talking about?"
"Well, I am not the only one you are bound to all members of the coven, all 13 or more." Hermione said.
"13 there are only 4 of you!!!"
"Now but we have to recruit." Ginny said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Don't I have any say in who I kiss?"
"Yes, you want to dance in a field and land mines go ahead." Hermione looked like she was giving him the floor."
"I just want my first kiss to be special, why don't you figure it out and get back to me." Harry left the room head hung low. He made it to the charms class room just as people started to leave.
Tonks skipped out of class. "So Harry Bear, I missed you in class."
"Sorry I got caught up with Ginny."
"It is ok Matt; wait you should I call you Harry or Matt?"
"Call the bear Harry and me Matt."
"So Matt you look upset."
"Bloody girls."
"Oh, you know I am a girl right."
"I am very aware you are a girl. Could you return your breast to their normal size?"
"Sorry Harry it is hormonal, I think. Big boobs are a sign of fertility my body wants your body to respond to it."
"That would explain the smell"
"Are you saying I smell?"
"Yes, you smell it is not bad you just smell like, I don't know, desire."
"Oh so you like it."
"Yeah but its distracting me but I don't mind so much." Harry was now standing very close to her she smelled like a pretty girl, basic shampoo with nice a nice clean smell but under that was desire.
"Matt if you are going to stand so close and smell me could you at least give me a hug so I don't feel so weird."
"Sorry." Matt wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. He wanted nothing more than to rub his nose along her neck and kiss her earlobe.
She was running her hand threw his hair.
"Tonks I know about the bond." Harry said after he finally relaxed. "I think Ginny and Hermione might still be fighting over who gets to kiss me first."
"Well I know of a way to get them to stop fighting." Tonks winked at Harry.
"Are you suggesting that we run off together?"
"You are making me sound like a harlot, no I am suggesting that you give me a kiss."
"Sorry Tonks but I don't think I am going to be kissing anyone soon."
"It is not that I don't want to I just don't think I am ready, I mean I can barely handle a women little alone 13 plus."
"Did you know you have a fan club starting and an anti-fan club?"
"No I didn't I have only been here two days."
"Just so you know if you don't get up to the task soon of kissing your women, I will tell everyone you are Harry Potter and are looking for women to soul bond into you harem."
"You wouldn't."
"Your right I wouldn't but if you haven't filled out the coven by fifth year then we are going to start taking apps or I am though I can't speak for my coven mates."
Harry felt someone engulf him in a hug from behind.
"I almost completely agree with you but I think we should start taking apps now." Fate said into Harry's back.
"We can get Hermione to write them up and come up with a grading system."
Harry didn't know if they were joking or serious but either way he was scared.
"Matt I know you don't want to kiss anyone soon but I have a thought that may change your mind. Would like to know?" Fate smiled.
Harry sighed. "Okay let me hear it."
"The bond is very important because you are the magical guard of the coven, this will allow you to look over the coven as we work. It will also grant us a lot of magical protection. I do not think it would be wise for us to walk around without your protection till the wards are under our control. Tonks has already been attacked and I might next but even with your bear I may not be safe till you arrive. Yes if it were anywhere else but Hogwarts your spells would work and you would come to us in an instant."
"Let's do this Hermione and Ginny should still be up in my room if not we will find them." Harry walked the slow walk of a defeated man.
"You know for a boy who loves girls laps as much as you do you think you would be more excited to kiss them." Tonks laughed.
"I should have never told you all about my promise."
Fate was using Harry's arm like a claw and making roaring sounds from behind him. "Watch out Tonks or moody Matt monster will eat you. ROAR"
"I wish Harry Potter was here to save me." Tonks giggled and fainted a sigh.
Harry couldn't help but laugh.
Harry entered his room to find Ginny and Hermione still at it.
"Excuse me but I am here so I think I will leave the choice up to Fate."
Everyone looked at her.
Fate looked down at Harry, he needs help there is only one way this will end well.
"I know exactly how to do this but Harry it is going to require you to drain yourself magically."
"I will do anything just pick someone please I just want to get this over with."
"Split yourself 4 times and then kiss us, that way we can all get your first kiss."
"I can't do that last time I tried I only split once and almost lost my magic."
"It comes down to trust, you can do this. I promise you that it will be ok."
"I need a moment this is not easy."
Harry looked deep inside of himself and found his core. 'Shit this is going to suck.' Then he broke his core into 4 pieces, it was ten times worse than any pain he had ever endured. He wanted to cry out to stop himself from causing himself so much pain. He fell to the ground gasping for breath. 10 minutes later he could finally stand again. He cast 4 spells from 4 different cores to produce 4 exact copies of himself only with a fourth less magic. "I don't know how long I can hold this, p..p..please hurry." The pain was flaring up again and Harry turned to face each girl and removed his mask.
Harry could feel four different kisses, four different tastes, four different girls; he knew that it was true the bond was forming, so his kissed them back. Pushing aside his fear this was just a ploy. The kiss was unmistakable and wonderful but he couldn't hold on to this state anymore.
His one body couldn't handle that level of power output. He faded out.
He woke to Fate kneeling by him. "It worked out just like I thought it would once you kissed us we took over for you. I have your magic you don't ever have to worry about losing it or someone taking it. Ginny has you body, she will ensure your quick return should you die, Hermione has you mind, she is having a hissy fit right now and we don't know why, and Tonks your soul, she will keep you from losing yourself to hate or anger also we hope allow you to eventually pass on because what would heaven be without you."
"What do I give to you?"
"You do the same but you do all 4 for all of us."
"Sounds like a full time job."
"Yes but it does come with perks."
"Vacation pay or maybe… I know heath care and regular checkups."
"Well for someone who had been slipping in out of a coma for the last two you weeks you sure have a lot of energy. Ginny has taken to researching healing magic's and I have been working tirelessly to put back together your magical core."
"How do you put together someone's core?"
"Think of it as the world's most complicated jigsaw puzzle."
"I would love to talk more but I am so sleepy." Harry yawned.
Fate did say anything she just slipped into the bed next to him and fell asleep listening to his heart beating. Thinking 'My Harry is going to be ok now.'
