Chapter 23:

The Warriors; mud covered and sore trudge back into the castle. Harry and Hermione walk side by side, each in their own world. Harry is daydreaming of his wife and him soaking in a romantic bath for two. Hermione, being the bookworm that she is, was fantasying of her and Harry relaxing on the couch. Him holding her while they read quietly.

"Hey mate, want to play some chess?" Ron pipes up, waking them both from their thoughts. "No man, I am going to go see Remus and Sirius." Harry shakes his head and walks off.

Ron watched him walk away with a grin. 'Finally, now I can ask Hermione to go out with me, without him mucking it up.' Ron turns to find Hermione almost around the corner. Ron runs after her. "Hermione, wait up. I want to ask you something." The girl turns around and glares at him. "Ron, I am putting my foot down. I will not do your Charms paper." She bites out.

"That's not the question, I wanted to ask if you would go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend." Ron pleads.

"Ronald, I am touched, really I am. I am not going to town at all this weekend. I have plans of studying all weekend." 'Yeah, I plan on studying Harry's body intently all weekend long in our room.' "Besides, I have been interested in someone else, for a while now. I'll see you later. I need to get to the library before supper." She turns and walks away from the hotheaded boy.

'That should not have happened. I have doused her with Mom's potions for two years now. She should feel lucky that someone likes her, even if she is the best looking girl in the whole school. I wonder who this other person is.' Ron walks up to his dorm room to ponder how to proceed.

While Ron was pestering Hermione, Harry has his own trouble. He wasn't lying about going to see his brother and uncle, he just left out that Hermione was meeting him there after she dropped off her book. He notices on his map that Ginny Weasley was waiting right in front of the door. Harry stops around the corner from her and puts on his father's cloak. He waits until he sees Hermione come on the map. A few minutes later, said girl gets dragged under the cloak too. Harry holds a finger to her lips, then shows her the map.

Hermione smiles, this is a perfect opportunity for some alone time with her husband. She snuggles into Harry's arms and rests her head on his collarbone. He holds her tighter and kisses her. They both tense up when they see Ginny walking their way on the map. Once she moves past them, muttering about how she will find Harry yet, they walk to Remus' quarters.

"What took you so long?" Sirius asks as he ushers them in.

"Ginerva Weasley was camped out in front of the door. We waited until she walked away, under Dad's cloak. Maybe, I should give it back, it is his." Harry explained. There comes a knock at the door, signaling that it is someone who does not know the password. That leaves out the entirety of the Warrior group excluding the youngest Weasleys, they were not there when it was explained at the meeting and as Bella is the keeper, there is no way they will find out. Harry and Hermione hide under the cloak once again, as they don't know who is on the other side of the wooden door.

"Who is it?" Remus calls out. He has his wand out and ready, Sirius and the Potters are also at the ready.

"Arthur, William and Charles Weasley," a voice calls out. Granted it does sound like Arthur, but just to be sure, Remus calls out again. "What did Harry say was the purpose of a rubber duck?"

"To distract a child while bathing it," Arthur chuckles.

Remus opens the door. "I am sorry, but I had to make sure. What can Sirius and I do for you gentlemen?" He ushers them into the room. Harry decides to stay under the cloak, until they have proven that he can trust them with the information about him and 'Mione. He loops his arms around and just holds her close for the time being.

"I need to ask you two a few things, I trust that you will tell us the truth." All three of the red-headed men looked lost as they sat down.

Sirius stepped up to Arthur. "Ask away cousin. I, Lord Sirius Orion Black, swear not to lie to Arthur, William and Charles Weasley during the course of this conversation, but I will not give away any family secrets. So mote it be." His wand lit up.

Arthur stood up and looked Sirius in the eye. "I, Arthur Winston Weasley, Head of the House of Weasley, swear that my two oldest sons and my twin sons and I, will follow the lead of and help guide where we can, Harry James Potter. I pledge us to his service and hope that he will see us as allies in his fight. So mote it be."

Harry and Hermione have heard enough, "My wife and I accept your pledge. What are your questions, Arthur?"

"This isn't one of them and I have no intention other than pure interest but how can you two be married. Harry , you are from one of the oldest pureblood families out there. Aren't you supposed to marry a pureblood?"

"As, you said it was asked because of interest, I'll answer it. Number one: My father James married a muggleborn and he was in the same position as I am, other than the chosen one thing. Number two: Hermione and I have a soul bond. Number three: My parents Mars and Bella, will only recognize one marriage, there are to be no affairs, mistresses etc. It is much stricter for a god than for anyone else these days. Number four: I only want Hermione. Number five: Hermione is considered a pureblood. Her father is a pureblood and her mother was a half-blood, on the mother's side. Her grandmother was a Prince."

Charlie whistles, "When Mom and Ginny find out that, we won't tell them, they can't touch it on the grounds for her usurping a pureblood's place, They will be steamed. That was one of my concerns, I overheard Mom and her conversing this afternoon. Is it true that they potioned the two of you?"

"Yes, but I am lucky. One of my cousins happens to be Cupid, thus his mother can undo any love potion out there, and also the God of Medicine happens to be one of my uncles. They are now scanning the both of us every week, on different days just to mix it up."

"Do you trust Dumbledore anymore?"

"No."

"Who is on your short list of who you want behind you?"

"I will name them, but understand I am not taking any chances anymore. There will be weekly scans for compulsions and potions, similar to random drug tests in the muggle world. Failure to submit will to them and a binding Wizard's oath like the one you just gave, will see you gone from my trust. This is not baseball, there is not three strikes and you're out, you are gone after one.

Until they give me reason not to, I trust:

Arthur Weasley; William, Charlie, Fred, and George Weasley; Madam Amelia Bones; Sirius Orion Black; Remus John Lupin; Alistair Moody; Nymphadora Tonks; Minerva McGonagall; Filius Flintwick; Pomona Sprout; Rubeus Hagrid; Tom at the Leaky Cauldron; Narcissa Malfoy; Lucius Malfoy; Severus Snape; and Kingsley Shacklebot; James Harrold Potter; Lily Potter."

"I think it is safe to say each of them will rally to the cause." Bill nods at the list. "Also, include the Goblins. They are impressed with you and your "family". They may have more information on the more obscure aspects." Harry nods as he sees the wisdom in the idea.

"This is my last question, would your family mind giving us scans also? I have a strange feeling that something is wrong but I cannot put a finger on it."

"I think that is a good idea, how about we all get one done."

An hour later:

The results were bad.

Arthur Winston Weasley: potions: under love potion- 30 years, baldness-15 years, ill health-15 years, anticoagulant- 20 years; compulsions: trust of Albus Dumbledore- 25 years. Distrust of Severus Snape- 25 years. Ignorance of soul bond completion- 30 years. Soul Bonded to Amelia Bones.

"What!" All three exclaim. They look amongst themselves. The news was devastating. "So Molly's and my relationship was always a lie." Arthur sighed and looked at his sons. "Before I started dating your mother, I was going with Amelia.

William Arthur Weasley: compulsions: trust of Albus Dumbledore-11years. Distrust of Severus Snape-11 years. Ignorance of Soul bond to Reyna Mars.-10 years.

"Who is this Reyna?" Bill asks, intrigued. Glad that he had a reason to tell Fleur no. She had been after him since she started at Gringotts.

Harry laughs, "She's one of my older sisters. I wouldn't be surprised if Charlie was paired with Hyla. Percy, Nico and Jason know them better."

Charles Russell Weasley: compulsions: trust of Albus Dumbledore-10years. Distrust of Severus Snape-10years.

"Are you kidding me? I for one say we talk to Harry's uncle and see about these getting fixed. Dad, what do you say?" Charlie roars. He stands and starts pacing the room. Charlie, like the animals he tends, doesn't do well with being cooped up for long.

"I say we make a stop off at Apollo's room when we leave and then we watch what we eat and drink."
