Chapter Thirty-Five

Upon arrival at the Potion masters classroom they could her rambunctious laughter and without thinking just knocked on the door, a quick reply from Severus to tell them to come in was enough and what they found was Aurora and Minerva bend over in stitches at a desk and all of the children were looking on in amusement, Harry glanced between the two women and if he didn't know any better he would say they were drunk. He really couldn't help himself but he waggled his eyebrows at the clearly frustrated Potions master and smiled.

"Hey guys...having fun?" Severus looked slightly amused at the young boy and pissed off at the same time, the two women in the room smiled at him and stood up as if to leave.

"Have a good time children..." Both of them smiled and then giggled and left the room leaving behind very confused children and a very irritated Severus who just dropped his head to his hands.

"What was all that about?" The man just shook his head at the children and offered them a hot cocoa and cookies.

"It seems Aurora has found a drinking buddy...they were sloshed and decided to come down here and raid my fire whiskey cupboard...needless to say they were at the wrong one and drank a giggling potion. I gave them the antidote but it hasn't worn off yet..." They all smiled at the antics of their teachers.

"The end of term makes the teachers in this castle crazy...Filius and Pomona are probably just as bad, even Albus likes the odd tipple. Now moving on...tonight I am gonna test your shields and if I am satisfied we will begin Your Ligilimency and we will probably continue over the summer once a week." They nodded at him and one by one he seemed them approved and moved on.

"You have all came in so well and I am very proud of all you have accomplished this year. Ligilimency is a completely different quidditch game than Occlumency. You are going to delve into my mind this time and not the other way around. It can be disorienting at first but focus. I will keep my surface thoughts for you all to see but my deeper thought will be layered and you will have to explore through each layer to get to the nitty gritty." All of them were a little bit confused and weirded out by going into their teachers head.

"Who wants to go first?" Having never stepped away from challenge Harry stood first and walked over to the Professor. "Now the incantation is Ligilimens and you will have to keep eye contact with me...focus on peeling back the layers Harry and you will be fine." He nodded his head and with one last nod from his teacher he held up his wand to the mans face and tried it.

"Legilimens..." Immediately He was pulled into a barrage of images swirling around and soon he was able to find a specific one, it was the first time he met Harry, the young boy could practically feel what his teacher was feeling and it was disorientating at first but pretty soon he balanced out everything and within a few moments it was gone and he was back in the room.

"That was a very strange experience..." Severus nodded his head and without stopping one by one each child gave it a go and they found that they were all more proficient at Ligilimency a lot quicker than Occlumency. A couple of hours later and they decided to call it a night Severus handed each child a sandwich and a glass of pumpkin juice with a kind smile and they were confused at how their relationship with the Potions Master had progressed. Considering everything that had happened the past year they were glad to sit down and have nothing too much to think about. All of the stresses of the year past was over. Now they only had one thing left on their minds.

"Professor can we ask you a question?" He nodded his head and dipped on his cup of tea allowing Harry to speak. "Ever since we got split up in the Chamber our inner communication isn't working, usually we can speak to one another through the soul bond connection but it had been silent since then and our magic feels unstable." The Potions Master was concerned that was for sure but it is not as if their magic is usually stable. The connection they all had with one another was strange and unusual and no one person could understand it, he had been witness to it for over a year and it still freaked him out.

"I don't really know if I can give you an answer Harry...this connection you all have to one another, it's confusing for everyone else, I don't have a clue why your soul bond is reacting this way maybe it's just adjusting as you get older. Maybe have a chat with the Founders before you leave this year and they can shed more light on it that I can..." They nodded their heads at him and before long they were on their way down to their Common room for the night and knew they needed help and so they settled on the carpet to talk to the Founders and within a few minutes they were seated in front of them all smiling.

"Oh children...we are so proud of you, you handled yourself so well in the Chamber..." Helga gave Hermione a hug and the others followed suit. "How'd you figure it out?" They all shrugged their shoulders and smiled before going to sit down beside them all.

"Lockhart was a bit of a wrench thrown into the plan but essentially it was good he was there...once Susan was taken we were not exactly sure what was going to happen or what we were gonna find when we went into the Chamber." They realised that the only reason they wanted to talk to them was to make them aware of their problems.

"Look the whole reason we are here was well...our soul bond is kind of defective at the moment. We haven't been able to hear each other at all and our magic feels very unstable. We don't really know what going on and we were hoping you could shed some light." They all looked at each other so confused and worried which in turn made the children worry.

"Ok What is it you know that we don't?" Salazar took it upon himself to take the bullet and try and explain to the children what was happening.

"Alright this didn't happen until we were older but regardless of what is going on you all need to be careful. Your magic is destabilising for a reason, once you reach a certain point in your training you will need to merge with your anchor..." They were confused and not even Hermione knew what they were on about.

"Anchor? What is that?" The Founders let out a breath and Salazar was not a patient man so to see him being so patient with them all seemed to unnerve them slightly.

"You all will basically share a Magical Guardian or an Anchor as we call it, you will already know this person and their magic will make itself known when you all have shared your first kiss and activated the second part of the soul bond." They all blushed and looked at Draco and Daphne subconsciously causing the two teens to blush themselves.

"Wait so our magic will continue to destabilise until we merge with our Anchor?" They all nodded at Luna who looked fearful and the others also mirrored her expression.

"You magic will not completely unravel but it will continue to be a little bit out of the ordinary for a while..." No one knew what to say and then came the next problem.

"You said we would know our Anchor person? Who is it?" They shook their heads at them all and honestly did not know.

"Basically like you all have our magic the Anchor will receive their ancestors magic also...you will share the same Anchor as they would be the only one to ground your magic and would be very strong magically. It is most likely someone from your year whom you all know..." This left them with more questions and answers but the most of all was the wonder of their magic.

"How long exactly do we have to find our Anchor and bond with them?" The Founders shrugged their shoulders and honestly could not put a time construct on it.

"Well because your bond was activated much earlier than ours, this is also very early for you all so unfortunately we can not give you a specific timeframe but I am assuming since your magic has destabilised slightly then some of you have already kissed?" They all blushed and felt a little bit strange talking about their relationship.

"Yeah but not all of us..." Luna did not want to embarrass Draco and Daphne so did not mention who was who but somehow they seemed to already know what was going on as they smiled kindly at them all.

"Well the good news is the Anchor will not get his or her magic until the last couple kiss so you have time but after that happens I am not exactly sure how long after that you have to meet and bond with them. They should make themselves known to you as they will more than likely receive their ancestors memories along with their ability to access their magic." All of the children didn't feel as if they had learnt anything, instead they were even more confused.

"Look just use the summer to work on everything you have learnt and hopefully you will have some more insight when you come back to school in the autumn." They all nodded at them al said their farewells for the summer and then they were back in their Common room alone.

"Well that was informative...basically once you two kiss we will have something else we don't understand happening to us...no pressure." They all laughed at the uncomfortable couple and Draco took the opportunity to kiss Daphne's hand in a supportive gesture and then they all broke off to spend some time with their own soul bond.

Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny had somethings to catch up on and spent all night talking about quidditch and Ron's wand making and the studies they missed which to be honest they understood completely just by reading. Considering exams were cancelled they didn't need to worry about anything wanted to understand the material they missed for their own personal mindset. They spend some time meditating and decided to call it a night, considering everything that had happened recently well it was more than enough to knock them out until the following morning.

The final match Quidditch match of the year had reached them all and Gryffindor were going up against Hufflepuff, having trained with Cedric all year Harry knew he was a formidable opponent. The training had strengthened the young mans game by a lot and for one Harry was irritated but on the other he was glad because then he would have a great game and for once he went into it not confident. Things went well at first until the Snitch was spotted, Harry and Cedric were neck and neck and everyone was on the edge of their seats throughout the whole game and now this would make or break the game, whoever caught the Snitch would win not only the game but the cup as well. They spent around ten minutes neck and neck for the Snitch when Harry in a last ditch attempt flattened his body to his broom and that extra two inches allowed his hand to wrap around the Snitch and win the game.

"Good game Harry!" Cedric shook his hand and went to join his teammates just as the Gryffindor team came around them completely flabbergasted and astounded that they had one the Cup. Once they all landed onto the pitch Professor Dumbledore handed McGonagall the cup and she looked ecstatic between all of the team and hugged everyone involved.

"Congratulation everyone!" She was like a child grinning into herself and Harry could not help but smile at the older woman just as Ginny threw her arms and legs around him and kissed him in front of the whole school.

"Congratulation Harry!" He could hear his friends in the background but all he noticed was Ginny and her lips on his, he was unsure how long they were kissing but some wolf whistles caused them to break apart and meet the grinning faces of the Twins.

"Harry...manhandling our little sister...we should be offended..." Ginny whirled around to them and had her wand out and cast a bat bogey hex on the both of them before they could say boo and just placed her feet back down on solid ground.

"Comment on my relationship again I will have to tell mum what I caught you two doing last summer..." They looked both horrified but strangely proud at her before hearing back to the locker room to change and get ready for a celebration.

The final feast passed quite quickly with the Headmaster bidding his farewell to the children all of the house tables had to admit they felt some what relieved that Professor Dumbledore was back in his rightful seat of power. Friends spent the last night before the summer with mixed emotions, Gryffindor House was still on a high from their Quidditch win and even though they lost the majority of the other houses were happy for them, even Slytherin. The past two years everyone had been trying to get the houses to see past their own prejudices and in some aspect it worked. Pureblood bigotry was not just in Slytherin...Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff also had their own fair share of it and probably some Gryffindors also but all of the soul bonds had spent the year and were going to spent the rest of their years promoting inter house unity and although they knew it was going to be an uphill battle they were not deterred.

The Defense/exercise club was a way of breaking the ice for quite a lot of people the past year and helped make people from different house just talk to each other, Quidditch teams were also well improved and the following year was going to try and make them closer. Following Abraxus Parkinson's arrest Pansy and her lackeys were running around the school with looks like poison and none of the children knew what to do about it but knew it wasn't going to be forgot about any time soon.

The Basilisk eggs hatched on the final day of term and Draco performed the charm on them to render them safe and talked to them to explain what had happened to their mother with Harrys help. After explaining who Hagrid was and introducing him to the babies the man was more than over the moon at that and found himself excited at the prospect of being able to help them. Once the children boarded the train and tried to take the time to relax with one another they had spent the better part of the year with everything up the left and knew the following year was going to be no different.
