Chapter 6
GETTING TO KNOW HIS SOUL-BUONDED MATES
"Griphook, will you please contact Lords Greengrass and Davis, and their wives Madam Bones, and Mr. & Mrs. Granger. Inform them that their daughters are fine and Gringotts request their presence at their earliest convenience," instructed Ragnok.
"Yes, Sir," replied Griphook.
Harry woke up the next morning and found himself in a large bed with four beautiful girls. Each of them was touching his bare chest. There was two on his right side and two on his left side. Hr thought to himself these must be my soul-bounded mates? I remember them from yesterday. Daphne is the one with blond hair. Tracey is the one with black hair. Susan is the red headed one. The brown haired one is…? yes Hermione. They look so content and beautiful. The girls suddenly woke up and screamed when they saw that were in with a boy.
Once the girls had calmed down and were assured that nothing inappropriate happened. They began to talk with other.
"I remember him from yesterday," said Hermione.
"Yes you are right," responded the rest of the girls.
"Yes, I introduced myself and you four also introduced yourselves. I shook each of your hands and that is the last thing I remember," said Harry.
"Do you know where we are art?" asked Daphne.
"Good morning Lord and Ladies, you are in a special room created for the soul-bounded," explained Griphook.
"What are soul-bounded mates?" questioned Tracey.
"A bonded mate is between a man and a woman, but in your all four of you that will last a life-time," explained Griphook.
"You mean to say that we are married to Harry?" asked Susan.
"Yes," answered Griphook.
"The four of us have been bounded to Harry with no way of getting out of it?" Hermione asked.
"Hey, you know that I'm standing right here. Do I look so bad or smell that badly, "thought Harry.
"Harry, what did you say," Daphne asked.
"You more or less implied that we don't like you," cried Susan.
"You mean you heard what I was thinking?" questioned Harry.
"Yes," replied Tracey.
"Maybe this one of the benefits of our bond," said Hermione.
"Harry I'm going to think what day my birthday is and you tell the date, "suggested Daphne.
"Alright, it's on May 31, 1080." replied Harry.
"My turn, Susan when is my birthday," Tracey asked.
"It's May 1, 1980," replied Susan.
"Hermione when is Harry's birthday?"
"It's on July 31, 1980," answered Hermione.
"Susan your birthday is on July 15, 1980," said Daphne.
"We are going to train ourselves in using this gift. We don't want to hurt each other's feelings," stated Hermione.
"Bloody hell, how are we going tell our parents that we're married?" said Tracey.
"Ladies there is one fact that you should be aware of, accordingly to ministry laws you are now considered emancipated minors. This means Ladies you are now adults in the eye of the Ministry with the same rights and privileges. Harry learned of this yesterday," said Griphook.
"Do our parents know about this?" asked Tracey.
"No, not yet Director Ragnok is explaining about this event as of this moment," answered Griphook,
flashback…15 minutes
"Lord Greengrass, Lady Greengrass, Lord Davis, Lady Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, and Madam Bones, the reason I asked for your presence here at Gringotts is something that has happened in over 800 years. Your daughters have soul-bounded d with Lord Potter. A goblin prophecy foretold of a wizard and his four soul-bounded wives would rid our world evil and led our world into an ever lasting peace," explained Ragnok.
"Do you have a copy of this prophecy?" asked Madam Bones.
"Yes I do. I have made copies for each one of you," said Ragnok.
"What are soul-bounds?" asked Mr. Granger.
"Little is known about these bonds, but they are extremely rare," replied Lord Greengrass.
"The Goblin Nation over our history has observed five different types of bonds which I'll give you a copy of what we have learned," said Ragnok.
The list read:
Soul acquaintance-this means if you met the other, you're be on passing terms with each other, but they'd not be friends unless pushed to that level.
Soul-friends-this means your souls are in tune enough that you'd easily form a long-term friendship.
Soul-mate-this means that soul-mates can easily fall in love with each other marry and have a happy life, but they don't have to and won't be any worse off if they don't.
Soul-bond-this means that these people are so in tune with each other that they are stronger together than apart. Their souls effectively linked together, for magical when soul-bonds form they become impervious to mind altering potions. A soul-bond can only by interrupted by the death of one involved. Once both pass on the bond reforms for the next great adventure.
Soul-bounded-means that those involved in this type of bond find their souls not linked but shared between each other. There're even able to communicate telepathically with other. For magical they can even share magic. However if one of them dies the will soon follow. This allows them to start on their next great adventure together.
"So this Harry Potter is the chose one, and our Hermione is one of the girls?" asked Mr. Granger.
"It appears so," replied Ragnok.
"We have so much to learn about Hermione's new World," said Mr. Granger.
"Excuse me Director; before I came here I contacted the D.O.M about bonds. Unspeakable Croaker told me that the only thing was that "bonded" couples have a love so deep pure they could never hurt each other and would always remain faithful to each other," explained Madam Bones.
"What is the D.O. M?" asked Mrs. Granger.
"The Department of Mysteries," said Madam Bones.
"It's like the R&D in a non-magical factory. I think it's called Research and Development,' replied Lord Greengrass.
"Thank you. I think I understand," said Mr. Granger.
"Director, I may have a problem, I just signed a betrothal contract between Tracey and Theodore Jr." with Lord Nott," said Lord Davis.
"No, you couldn't do that to Tracey," cried Lady Davis.
"Nellie I had o choice. I had to keep our family safe," said Lord Davis.
"Was the contract signed in blood?" questioned Ragnok.
"Yes it was, Director," answered Lord Davis.
"Did your family accountant draw up the contract?" asked Ragnok.
"No, the Nott's accountant drew it up," replied Lord Davis.
"Griphook, who is the accountant for the family," questioned Ragnok.
"It's Axhandle, Sir," replied Griphook.
"Send for him immediately and tell him, I want to see that contract," ordered Ragnok.
"Yes, Sir,' replied Griphook.
Five minutes later Axhandle arrived in the Directors office with the contract in his hand.
"Director, you sent for me," inquired Axhandle.
"Let me see that contract," demanded Ragnok.
As Ragnok read through the contract Axhandle knew he was dead. He had inserted a clause after the contract was signed. It was a crime that would led to him to the executioner. He tried to flee but the guards held him fast.
"What's this…" exclaimed Ragnok.
"Griphook would you go to the Records Division and return with both contracts," requested Ragnok.
Griphook returned three minutes later and gave the contracts to Ragnok. He read through them till he reached the relevant sections. Ragnok turned to the guards and told them "take him to the dragon pits to await his fate."
"Lord Davis I wish to express our sincerest apologies, evidently Axhandle inserted an extra clause into your contract after it was signed by you and Lord Nott. The clause stated that if your family broke the contract the penalty would be the loss of your wealth would go to him. However since Tracey is in a soul-bound with Harry, the contract is unenforceable and void.
"Thank you Director. I will inform Lord Nott about the contract, and the reasons for the cancellation of contract," replied Lord Davis.
"When will be able to see the children?"Lady Greengrass asked.
"They are sleeping right now, but I'll send Griphook to check on them," replied Ragnok.
"I'll go right now and check on them, "said Griphook.
He returned fifteen minutes later and explained that the children were awake and that they were now in a soul-bound relationship. I thought it wise to give them a small dose of a calming potion and a mild sleep potion. They will be alert tomorrow morning."
"We will return tomorrow morning," said Lord Greengrass.
The bondmates woke up and declared that they were hungry. After a full breakfast of eggs, rashers, fruits, breads, and tea Griphook took to see their parents. When the girls saw their parents they rushed over and gave them hugs and kisses. The women started talking to each other about what happened. The girls old their mothers that they were comfortable with the soul-bound, since it was blessed by magic.
The men took Harry over to the other side of the room, but before the men could say something, Harry spoke up and said "Sir's I may only be eleven years old but I honestly do love your daughters. I'm going to try to the best of my ability to treat them equally and with respect. I'm going to treat them equally as best as I'm able. I swear to LOVE them equally."
"Well Harry I believe that you are sincere and that you will treat them equally, as well as; love them equally," said Mr. Granger.
"If you hurt them in any way, I'll ask the Director to feed you to the biggest and meanest dragon," growled Lord Davis.
"I will ask for you remains and have Madam Bones to throw that pile of dung through the veil of death," smiled Lord Greengrass.
Ragnok approached them to remind them that the bond will only formalize once they have consummated their marriage. They blushed, looked over to Harry and nodded.
Harry explained that they were to young and would wait for at least five years taking that step.
Lord Greengrass smiled and said " you show that you are very mature for your ages."
Ragnok invited all of them for lunch before the preformed the inheritance tests for the girls.
