Chapter 19: Of Bondings Gifts and Evil Cliffhangers.
In no time at all, 8 months flew by and Harry had mastered a large number of advanced and useful curses, all forms of Animagi and was appearing out of thin air preparing to do battle against the dark side.
Harry swung Alandria's staff towards Remus who blocked it with the back of his hand, using some of his werewolf strength. Behind his back, Remus called forth his Double Blade. He swung the blade forward, catching the tip of Harry's staff. They leaned towards each other trying to push with all their strength. Harry quickly flipped over Remus, drew a dagger, and held it to his neck.
"Nice try, love. Better luck next time," Harry grinned at the man locked under his blade, placing a small kiss on his cheek.
"Pure fluke, Harry," Remus smiled in return and twisted out the way.
It seemed Merlin was right as they both allowed their feelings for each other to grow. He and Remus truly were soul mates, destined to live and fight at the other's side.
"Bravo, Harry. You mastered that jump quite well, but I must say, I wouldn't want to come across either of you on a dark night without my wand," commented Merlin. Harry and Remus grinned at the praise.
"Now listen closely you two, you have mastered the art of fighting, but there is still something that must be done. You may be together in love and friendship, but I would like to bond you, binding your souls. This would be an advantage in many ways. First of all, you will what the other is feeling, no matter what it is, and what the other is thinking. That telepathy will give you an edge over your opponent because you will be able to help each other. The second thing is that you will be able to come here whenever you will need us. Just go into a simple trance and think about the one who you want to speak to. You must remember though, that while you are here, no harm can come to you. You have already noticed that you heal a lot quicker than you should, this will continue in the normal realm, but you still can be hurt and killed, so always take precautions with you," Merlin stated. "Are you two willing to be bonded?"
Harry and Remus looked at each other with a smile and nodded.
"Very well then, come here."
Both walked over to stand before Merlin. The old wizard took a dagger and sliced open the right palm of each Harry and Remus. Then he started chanting and slowly both palms started to glow and the blood turned golden and ceased to flow. After that, Merlin took both hands and pressed the cuts together.
Harry and Remus gasped at the new sensation that was filling their minds. It was like there was someone else inside your thoughts, looking at your every memory and most inner thoughts, but it didn't feel like the other was invading your privacy, so they let the other have free reign of their mind.
Then it was over and Merlin looked at them with pride shining in his eyes.
"The only thing that still needs to be done before you go back to the future, is giving out the gifts for you."
He closed his eyes for a moment and Salazar, Godric, Rowena and Helga came running in. As soon as they saw Harry, Helga and Rowena pulled him into a hug and started to sob onto his shoulder. Rolling his eyes and then glaring at the snickering men, Harry patted the women's back and somehow managed to disentangle himself from them. After they had calmed down again, Merlin stepped forward with the same dagger he has used for the bonding.
"This is my present for Remus. When I fist saw him, I sensed something around him that only a master at ritual magic like myself should have. So my gift to you is my dagger. With it you will be able to perform every ritual and rune spell there is."
Remus was about to ask what rune casting is, but Merlin held up a hand. "Rune casting is usually used for counter charms or defensive charms. You just have to draw the appropriate rune into the air with the dagger and you will have a very strong shield for example."
Nodding, Remus sat back again and relaxed as Merlin turned to Harry.
"For you Harry, I give you the right to bear my family insignia. From now on everything you will wear will have the picture of a dragon with a sword in its claws on the right shoulder blade. This is an immense honor because sometimes not even family members are allowed to bear it. Make me proud and please don't do anything stupid."
With that Merlin sat down and Helga turned to stand in front of Remus.
"As you well know, Remus, I have a bit of an obsession with herbs and plants." Every one snorted and unsuccessfully tried to hide a laugh behind their hands. Helga glowered at them, but continued. "Anyways, I was walking down the path in the forest today and found a whole clearing full of one of the most rare plants on the world. The reason for this is that it is the only one that can cure a werewolf bite if it is put on it within 1 hour of the administration of the bite. Use it well."
She gave Remus a very big pouch and then looked at Harry.
"Harry, when I was walking that same path to the clearing, I stumbled on a very sad creature. The herd he was living with has a disease of some kind and he will no longer be able to live with them because he is the only one not infected. Through a bit on telepathy on his side, he managed to convince me to take him to you."
Here Helga paused and then suddenly the doors flew open. Instantly Remus and Harry had drawn they weapons and pointing them at the door. Harry had Damien's sword in his hand and Remus his double blade. Both put away their weapons when they saw who exactly it was that had entered.
"Silver!" Harry screamed as he ran up to the unicorn that was now standing in the doorway.
(A/N; Just for information and because I'm to lazy to type, the unicorn is the same that Harry had saved and then was bonded to. If you want to see a picture of how he looks now that he is pretty much grown up, visit this site. . He is the one in the right upper picture.)
"I give you permission," Helga continued " to take Silver with you in to the future. Also you get this pendant of a phoenix in flight. It will show you who you can trust and who thinks you as his enemy. I will miss you terribly, Harry!"
With that she sat down next to Remus and started to sniffle into his robes. After rolling his eyes, Remus comforted her to the best he could. A snort made Harry look at the far side of the room, where Salazar was leaning against the wall. He had such a blank expression on his face, that Harry immediately knew what was about to happen. He groaned and got into a fighting position. Salazar was now moving towards Harry, almost stalking him, until he was right behind him.
Then he jumped...
TBC.
A/N: Sorry, couldn't resist! A nother cliffhanger. Bad Silver, Bad! Hope you like it!
About the reviews, I really would respond to them, but there is no time! My parents are going out and were are (my sister and I) are taken to a friends house. AND SHE DOESN"T EVEN HAVE INTERNET!!! I am probably not going to survive this, so fare well all you people out there.
*Sniffles*
Hehehe. just kidding.. My sister is mad at me for writing that and like she says, I quote "Scaring the hee bee jee bees out of them." End quote.
Don't ask... *shakes head at dumbness of her sister*
Oww. she hit me!
Ok, gotta go torture my little sis a bit!
And don't forget to tell me what You think! Yours, Silver Girl 125
