Chapter 21- For You I Will

"Finish the binding Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore commanded.

One look at the older wizard's face told Malfoy it wouldn't be wise to ask if he was sure. So he merely nodded, then made the identical cut on Dumbledore's arm. The blue eyes rolled back in his head, and he too began to float in unconsciousness. Malfoy took a white silk scarf from Isis, held the cloth straight in front of him and began to speak again. "Per is tela redimio suum vulnus. Redimio suum cruor quod per suum crour, redimio suum animus. Permissum lemma exsisto sulum alius crepidoinis. Planto duos unus universus intemporaliter iunctus nunquam futurus tribuo. (2)"

With his sister's help, Lucius positioned Albus's arm on top of Minerva's so the wounds were lined up and touching. Then he took the cloth and used it to tie their arms together. The cloth began to fray where their arms are touching. It finally frayed completely and fell off. Their arms fell apart, the wounds were healed and the scars were barely visible. Malfoy picked up a handful of dirt from the ground and placed some in both of their mouths. Then he began to speak one final time. "Permissum is terra refromo suum vinculum ut is vita. Addo lemma tergum ut suum letalis moenia, cautus ut orbi terrarum, cautus ut invicem. (3)"

With a soft groan McGonagall woke up and blinking she looked at Isis, the Lucius. "It's finished then." Her voice was sad, resigned.

"If I'd realized that being bound to me would make you so unhappy, I would have had someone else joined with you." A familiar voice across from her teased.

Her blue eyes were wide with wonder, shock, and something Dumbledore couldn't quite read, as she turned slowly towards him. "You….." She whispered.

"Indeed my dear." He sounded amused.

Tears sprang up in her eyes. "Why Albus?"

The merry twinkle was back in his eyes, and a smile was on his face as he peered at her over the rims of his half moon spectacles. "There are many worse things in this world than spending the rest of my life with you."

It was clearly the wrong thing to say. Minerva bristled. "Worse things…Well, rest assured I'm fine now, and I'll let you get back to the better things as well." She hissed bitterly. Dumbledore opened his mouth to protest, but a piercing look from eyes that had turned amber stopped him. Seconds later he was staring down a spitting tabby cat. She took a swipe at Nagini, who hadn't left yet, before taking off into the woods.

The headmaster sighed and shook his head. "Every time I think she's more practical and…sensible than normal women, she does something so….female." He muttered to Snape. "What in heaven's name did I say?!"

"What did you…" Isis repeated incredulously. "Men."

This however brought the attention back to her. First there was Draco, who threw himself into her arms crying out, "Aunt Isis!" Her arms went around him and held him close. But over his head her eyes met her best friend's. To her surprise, his eyes were cold. "It's really me Severus. I'm alright."

"So I see." His voice was clipped and calm. "I'm so glad that you weren't hurt."

Hurt flashed in her eyes. "What's wrong? Aren't you glad I'm alive?"

"Very." He drawled. But he didn't look it. He didn't look happy with her at all. "I'm so glad it wasn't your screams that were ripping my heart apart."

"What was I supposed to do?" She demanded defensively. "Did you want me to jump up and down when you and Albus entered the clearing and scream 'Severus I'm okay, my brother used one of the house elves to trick Voldemort' while standing in front of him?"

"I don't know." He snarled before stalking off toward the house. Isis stared after him in bewilderment. Then she let out a frustrated howl and stormed off in the other direction.

A/N 2- Latin Translation (2): With this cloth bind their wounds. Bind their blood and through their blood, bind their souls. Let them be each other's foundation. Make the two one whole, eternally united, never to be divided.

Latin Translation (3): Let this earth reestablish their bonds to this life, bring them back to their mortal dwellings secured to the earth, secured to each other.

A/N 3- You didn't really think I was going to solve anything did you? Anyone wanna take a stab at why McGonagall and Snape are so angry? He he…don't worry more chapters tomorrow.
