Here's the next chapter I hope your like it please read and review love, Moon x
Hermione arrived shuddering at the sudden cooler weather of Scotland. Suddenly remembering what she was wearing she laughed to herself. Heading to her rooms she shared with Luna she noticed Luna was busy reading something and writing something down. Probably homework she would have guessed. She went into her bedroom and searched for some clothes to put on. After fretting for ages about what to wear she finally calmed down enough to be able to decide on something concrete. She slipped into the bathroom and had a nice warm soak for forty five minutes with essential oils before getting out to get dressed. Her hair which had been straight and in a ponytail for the hot Monte Carlo weather was now in half up ringlets which were tied with a bow. She picked out a plum coloured chiffon calve length dress and some black silk ballet pumps. She picked up her simple cloak and placed her wand in a plum coloured cross body clutch bag.
She spritzed some perfume on her neck and wrists before leaving the room feeling much better then she had when she'd returned to the Scottish cold from the sunshine of Monaco. She walked up the stairs and across the hall to the stairs leading to the Astronomy Tower. She gasped as Winky appeared before her as five ft five like she had for Harry and Neville when they'd been in Gryffindor's Massage parlour. "Oh my word! Winky what the hell happened to you? You're not in any pain are you? I swear if someone cursed you to make you taller I'll get them for this. Oh no!" she said cooing all over a shocked Winky until she finally seemed to register enough to stop the girl. "Hermione I am fine. My body just shifted to accommodate Gryffindor's massage Parlour. Ask Neville about it later on. You look beautiful do you need anything?" she asked Hermione who laughed aloud. "No Winky I don't have a great night!" she said hugging the elf and leaving again. Since Winky and her own elves were extremely loving and caring they'd grown accustomed to hugging them all the time. Something Blaise would have to adjust to.
Still giggling slightly at the odd appearance of Winky she pushed through the doors to the Astronomy Tower her laugh catching in her throat as she spied Blaise waiting for her. He was dressed simply in a suit with shiny shoes and a simple plain black robe over it. His hair was the same as ever making her smirk slightly. He looked amazing and her breath finally returned to her as she remembered to breathe. She steadied herself and walked over to him. He turned around to face her his eyes aglow. He bent down taking her hand in his and raising it gently to graze his lips across her knuckles politely. She shivered at the contact smiling as he handed her a small bouquet of pink and purple gerbera daisies. She was amazed that the flowers weren't roses and thanked him immensely for it. This showed her he'd gone to the effort of getting her special flowers and not roses like any normal guy would have. "Thank you so much Blaise for my wonderful flowers. I'm amazed actually you went to the effort of getting these above roses like most normal guys. It makes me feel very special!" she said while inhaling the lovely scent of them.
"You are most welcome Hermione and may I say you are extremely special to me at least. I am so honoured you'd choose me after all there are many more deserving men" said Blaise honestly shocking her. "But Blaise you were the best for the um choice. So tell me dear Blaise what did you want to do for the date and was there anything you wanted to talk to me about?" she asked him accepting his outstretched hand as his fingers intertwined with hers making her tingle all over. "I actually wanted to ask you something before we properly begin the date as it's something I've been thinking about and need to speak with you about. Sal told me I'd need to use the metamorph power he gave me and he told me that to my family it will appear as though I don't have it unless I should choose to tell them myself. He said I will need to become some different persona's to keep some of the pressure from Neville but I wondered what persona's I'd be taking? As in how do I need to look, age and marital status etc. I'll then quickly change for you and you can tell me if I look acceptable" said Blaise seriously.
"Well this is a surprise but yes it's good to do so now in advance. Let me think for a moment about all you have said. Ok I have three aliases you will need assume as well as Zabini. Your first alias I have not yet decided on the appearance of as I too will be deciding on that. Your name should be Lord Carrington but I'd suggest we discuss how old they should be, what blood status and how they should look. Hmm ok my name is going to be Lady Pandora Hannah Carrington and I am going to be a thirty two year old who's been married for just the short time of four years. How should I look?" she asked Blaise who deep in thought.
"Hmm that sounds great. I'll obviously be thirty two my self as we'll be married. I'll be Lord Aries Michael Carrington. Well as for the appearances I'll change now and then you can tell me if you agree to how I choose to look. We should also be half bloods I feel for variety" replied Blaise who was deep in thought. He morphed to six ft in height with slightly sallow skin, lots of muscles, deep blue eyes and sandy blonde/ brown hair. Essentially he was gorgeous. She then changed herself to the height of five ft eleven inches with wavy blonde hair a slightly darker tan and more curves then she had now. She made her eyes green in colour. Blaise was blown away. "I think we look acceptable now. We will however need to make a trip together to Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade Village to the jewelers to get two sets of bridal and engagement rings and also an engagement ring for my final persona. Now then my next persona has no age or look yet either but I had left these alone so we could design them together. My name here is going to be Lady Persephone Lenora Warrens and I will be fifty years old. I will be a pureblood lady. I'll morph first and you can then tell me if you like what I've done!" she said smiling at him.
For this persona she became smaller at five ft eight inches in height with pale white skin and long black straight hair and brown eyes. Her body was much less curvy then it had been moments ago with her going from a D cup to a B cup. Blaise looked at her in awe. Even when she had obviously tried to make her persona look bland the lady before him had still managed to look somewhat amazing. He made himself have black shaggy hair, muscles a smaller height of five ft ten inches and some brown eyes. His skin was a pearly shade and looked immaculate. "Ok we look fine like this. I'll be fifty also like you and pureblood as well. My name shall be Lord Dorian William Warrens" he said smiling happily at this rare and wonderful gift he'd been given.
"Ok Blaise my last persona is called Lady Carina Marie Mallory and she's a twenty year old pureblood witch. I'll show you how she looks just now. You can choose to be a Mallory and we can be married a few months to a year if you prefer that's up to you" she said smiling brightly. She became five ft six inches in height and extremely curvy with platinum blonde hair with deep sea blue eyes. Blaise knew he loved her in this persona as well. "I mean no joke here Hermione but I choose to be called Lord Draco Hyperion Mallory. We can be married for just one year so far. I feel it will confuse some people when I make him look nothing like Draco Abraxas Malfoy!" he said giggling slightly at her half amused half pissed off expression. He made himself have shaggy brown hair, muscles, green eyes and the lightest tan shade one can go. When he was finished Hermione's mouth was hanging open in awe. He was damn sexy in this persona and she'd see to it that they went around as Lord and Lady Mallory often. Who cared if he was called Draco.
Changing back into normal they both stood there holding hands nervously. "Oh come over here one moment. Tippy! You can lay out the blanket and refreshments now thank you!" said Blaise happily as an adorable elf came in with a chequered blanket and a basket filled with two bottles of butterbeer and some glasses. Hermione was shocked as some candles then floated all around them as two pasta dishes appeared before them. "Blaise this is carbonarra my favourite! Thank you!" she said as she happily ate the dish smiling brightly at him. After dinner Tippy cleared away the pasta things and they were left with a sumptuous chocolate mousse. Hermione moaned in delight as the mousse slipped down her throat. It was such a sensual meal full of different flavours and textures. After wards while having a small glass of butterbeer each they stood up. The blanket was now gone along with the basket and desert plates.
He produced a telescope smiling as she leaned into his embrace while he held her from behind as they went star gazing together. It was very romantic indeed with him pointing out all the various star formations to her. There were only some of them that she already knew. "That one there is Orion. It's beautiful to look at. My favourite one to look at is Sagittarius there!" he said pointing them out to her. She smiled brightly at him. "They're beautiful Blaise. What a spectacle to behold" she turned in his arms to face him wonder in her eyes. Peering down at her some music came on curtsy of Tippy who'd seen the need for it. As he gripped her close resting his head on hers they swayed to the soft jazz tones created by the phonograph. He twirled her out and spun her back in all the while looking deep into her eyes. In that moment they were all that mattered. No dark lord, no Dumbledore, nothing. Make you feel my love by Adele played in the background as they continued to dance romantically together. It was amazing what magic could achieve. Looking up once again into his stunning chocolate brown eyes she felt herself go weak at the knees. It was a sin to look this naturally handsome.
He leaned in and captured her lips in a soft sweet and romantic kiss jumping slightly as some fireworks went off all around them and they hovered in the air slightly before coming back down. This had not happened when she'd kissed Neville. What was going on? Was he doing this to impress her or something because he needn't have bothered he was already impressing her enough. She deepened the kiss as they swayed to the music snogging like love struck teens which they were essentially. His lips traveled down to her neck and back up to devour her lips once again. Yet again more fireworks. What they hell? She thought. Finally when the song ended and they broke apart she spoke. "Blaise you really didn't need to try and impress with the fireworks I already think you're amazing!" she said smiling and shivering as his lips descended once again to her neck. "Didn't do it love thought you did!" he mumbled against her skin as he kissed and nipped the sensitive flesh of her neck.
"Mmmm Blaise that's so relaxing I could just stay here and have you kiss me like that always. I didn't do it either must be our magic reacting to one another or something" she said sighing in a contented relaxing tone. The moment was soon broken however as a howler addressed to them both swooped in before opening itself. It was from the ministry and they both looked shocked at it when it started talking. What could the Ministry want with them?
Dear Mrs Hermione Jean Zabini and Mr Blaise Leonardo Zabini we here at the ministry are delighted to inform you that as of exactly three minutes ago you engaged in a magically rare soul bond. Your magic has registered an extremely powerful bond with Mr Zabini of the magnitude we've not registered here at the ministry in over two hundred years. You now share your soul with Blaise Leonardo Zabini and are to be referred to as Lady Hermione Jean Zabini outside school. You will both wear wedding rings from now on and the two of you can talk telepathically however this talent doesn't appear with your relationship with Mr Longbottom and yes we know about that here as well. Each bond is different in ways. With Mr Longbottom you can read each others thoughts but cannot not talk telepathically. This will be an extremely strong triad and we request that you please sign with your preferred surname on the parchment here so it can be registered with the Ministry, Elias Urquhart Department of Marriages and registries.
Looking at Blaise she panicked. "I am honoured we're now married but I am unsure as to what surname to take and I need to answer now. What do you think I should do Blaise? Eh Blaise!?" she shouted getting his attention back to her. "Sorry I was in shock and miles away. I think they are right and that you should remain a Black in school until it becomes noticeable at which point you are to then become Zabini. I am amazed as I can feel all of your emotions within me and I feel your total wonder and awe at the situation, your respect and love for me and how you think of my appearance!" said Blaise now blushing madly. "I can feel you two Blaise. I am not sure I understand how Neville will take it as although we all agreed to be involved faithfully in this triad but he and I were married before we returned here. I'll be Mrs Hermione Jean Zabini for now but I reserve the right to change that later" she replied signing the parchment as it flew away. "Lets go inside and talk to Sal for a moment I want to see what he knows about this" said Blaise.
He took her hand in his their golden bands shining in the moonlight. They went down to the Ravenclaw rooms and Blaise was admitted to head straight for Slytherin's rooms from there. When they entered Sal was waiting in his portrait smiling at them.
"Sal we want to know what you know about this sudden soul bond? I'm worried about what to tell my parents. I mean I don't know do I tell my mother as is or do I tell her once her memories have been restored. I'm so confused and I don't want to hurt Neville!" she said emotionally.
Hermione you would never be hurting Neville so never fear about that alright. I must admit Lady Fate and yes she's real has been in touch with me and is very unimpressed with what you four have done beforehand. She understands that going back to the past the first time may have made you feel good but it totally screwed up with her time lines. As a punishment for all you have no choice but to remain in this timeline and cannot return to the future or past ever again. You have now not married Neville but have a strong soul bond as you should have always had with Mr Zabini. It's not something you would have known about before now but it is something Dumbledore suspected the last time and it is the reason he drugged Mr Zabini with spells and potions making him want to stay away and never trust Hermione. Lady Fate has told me to inform you that both of the formal courtships should continue as normal and you must simply marry Neville at aged sixteen years and continue to date him from now until then.
She said it's just as a punishment that you are no longer married to Neville and must marry him once again. As Harry and Luna are meant to be married they shall remain together but she will need to marry both Harry and Draco at age sixteen years also. She has asked that I inform you that your mothers memories need to be restored as soon as you can get away to do so. It is then her choice as to whether or not she chooses to stay with John Granger or return to your father as the case may be. Please note however it may not be possible for her to return to your father at this time as she would be leaving John and for no other reason then that her memories have returned. Lady Fate informs me that your mother was never destined to marry John Granger and that should she choose to leave him for your real father Sirius Orion Black that Johns memories of her will be erased and he will awaken with his destined wife and family in another location. It is better this way as she tells me. Harsh as it sounds he will not remember a thing but the choice should be your own mothers to make. With Albus Dumbledore away I would not advise going after him immediately so that you can make him feel falsely secure.
I'd suggest in two months going over to Ireland and hauling his arse back here to jail where he is meant to stay. He will think he's safe and so will not expect anyone to call. As he's still very confused as to what he was doing in jail he'll now be told why he was in jail in his normal state. This way it can sink in and he cannot escape once again. The same thing applies to Ronald Bilious Weasley. You can get him after a while. The two of you are positively glowing with love. Congratulations for your match made in heaven. See you later on and goodnight oh and before I forget now because you are soul bound and married you'll be expected to live here together permanently with the one bedroom. All of your friends and the other heirs may only visit you when they ask or knock and you grant them access. Only Severus, Draco, Blaise and the four of you heirs are allowed to know the password to this room. They may know the password but will only be allowed to enter here using it if you tell me they can. If you are busy whether they have the password or not they'll have to call back later on. Now I'd suggest you both get ready for bed goodnight!
Both shocked by this information Blaise was ecstatic. "Tiny! Please go to the Ravenclaw rooms and move my stuff here to the master suite and lay it out as I have done there. Tilly! Please get Blaise's things from his room and move them to our bedroom here laying them out as he has them. When the both of you are done we'd like some hot chocolate."
"Yes of course Lady Zabini!" they both chorused. "We've discussed this it's Hermione in private with just Blaise or the family and Lady Zabini in public with strangers." Both elves left and returned in ten minutes with the things and the hot chocolate. Both Hermione and Blaise relaxed on the sofa with Hermione snuggled closely to Blaise's chest while he wrapped one arm around her and used his other arm to drink his hot chocolate. After the hot chocolate was finished they both entered the sleeping quarters with Hermione gasping at the changes there. Now instead of the two beds and happiness fountain there was one large king sized double bed with the happiness fountain beside it. Hermione changed into her silk shorts and t-shirt pyjamas and climbed into bed watching Blaise strip down to his boxer shorts and join her in the centre of the bed. Wrapping arms around her he pulled her close to his chest and leaned down slightly placing tender kisses up and down her jawline and neck. She had never felt more loved in her life. Even being married to Neville hadn't felt this amazing and she knew she loved him deeply. Relaxing fully she accepted the deep sensual kiss to her lips as she rested her head in the crook of his neck wrapped up in his arms and fell asleep.
