Recap

Harry explained everything to Ginny and Hermione. She promised to help him when she and Ginny will be at Hogwarts.

Christmas Break

Harry, Ginny and Hermione came to the Burrow to enjoy their Christmas holidays. They would be staying at The Burrow for Christmas eve.

Everyone was seated in the large dinner table outside the house. It was like a family reunion for them so everyone was present including Andromeda who was now considered as a part of Weasley family.

Arthur was seated in the head chair of one end. Bill and Charlie were seated on his both sides. They were engaged in a deep conversation. The ladies of the house except Andromeda were back in the kitchen arranging everything.

Harry was sitting in the middle. Andromeda was sitting on his right and his left was vacant. Teddy sat on his lap and Harry was making goofy sounds and cooing at the baby who had pink hair and green eyes.

George was sitting quietly in the other end with little Victoria Weasley in his hands. Victoria was Bill and Fluer's daughter. She was born in April, one year after the war. When George lost Fred in the war, it was like he lost his one half. For one year, he didn't visit Burrow. He stayed at their joke shop and when Victoria was born, he became close to the baby. Whenever he was sad, he would floo to Shell Cottage and would play with the baby and would forget all his about his sadness.

Ron was sitting in the opposite side next to Fluer's vacant seat. The seat next to him was also vacant. He was looking at both Harry and George and how differently they played with the babies. Percy was inside the house doing some last minute preparation. He sat next near the opposite head chair.

Just then all the ladies arrived and took their seats next to their boyfriends and husbands. Molly sat on the other head chair. Ginny sat with Harry and started playing with Teddy. Hermione and Ron became engaged in a serious conversations. Fluer sat next to her husband but didn't get her laughing daughter from George. Audrey and Percy were talking to Molly.

Food came immediately after everyone was seated. They had a hearty dinner and had Molly's special apple pie with ice cream for desert. (I have never eaten Apple pie and I don't know how it tastes. So if this combination is not so tasty then forgive me. )

After dinner everyone retired back into the living room. Harry sat near the fireplace with Ginny's head on his shoulders and a sleeping one year old on his lap.

"I going to our room. Come with Mione after some time. We have lot to discuss. "He whispered in her ears and kissed her cheek.

"I think I going to bed. I have to put Teddy to sleep. Good night everyone. "He went to their room.

Ginny nodded to Hermione and got up. "Ginny and I are going to do a little bit of study. So Good Night everyone. "

"But-" Ron cut Molly and said, "Don't stop Hermione from studies Mom. She can get very angry, like you. "

Molly gave Hermione a sweet smile and excused them.

Ginny opened their door and led Hermione inside.

"I wouldn't have asked you to tell me now but I cant wait til New Year's eve when we see each other again. So Mione what did you find out? "Harry asked.

"There is very little works on Bonding and those are not very informative. But from what I have gathered, I can explain some things to you. I have even brought a book from library. "She searched her beaded bag.

"Being the Head Girl has its own advantages, right Ginny? "

"Very true. "

"Oh! Shut up you two." She rolled her eyes and took a hard bind book Magical Existence. She turned to page 1922 and started reading.

Soul bound couples are a few in our society. But information about them are rare because these people are afraid to come forward and explain their existence. They can be easily manipulated. So dark wizards and witches can use them as their weapons as these people have extra powers.

Two people are soul bond because they have one soul . One cannot live without the other. Rejection of a bonded soul results in the death of both the persons. They will meet in the next cycle of life but they may or may not become one like the last time.

Marriage between soul bonded are different from the normal wizard marriage. They have to complete their bond through their words and doings. They have to hold the tip if their wands together and chant the spell and then sparks will wrap them from their wands. They are bonded officially. They have to become one in mind and body too. Marriage will make their minds one.

Soul bonded couples can have other powers. They can share each others emotions, they can be telepathic, etc. They can have animagus pairs also. For each couple, the powers are different. They define the souls.

Soul bonded between three people is very rare. There has never been an entry since the death of Merlin. Merlin was believed to be soul bonded to King Arthur and Leyfey. These couples are very much powerful than any other wizard. Together they can rule the world. Fortunately these people will have a good heart and they will never become evil. Three bonded are same as Two bonded. There may be one man and two women or two men and one woman. Three people of same sex will never be soul bonded. Only the dominant will know about his/her mates. They will be brought together by fate somehow.

This is it. "Hermione closed the book. "You were right Harry. He doesn't know that he is soul bonded to you to. So we have enough time to be prepared of this situation. I had heard that he is a changed man and hopefully our family will accept him. "

"Lets hope for it, Mione. Thank you very much for helping us. "Harry said.

"There is no need to thank me. When are you guys going to tell Ron? "

"After our graduation. We didn't think about it very much. What do you think Harry? "Ginny asked.

"I think you are right Gin. Now is not the time. We can discuss about that later. We will definitely tell you when we are going to do it Mione. I think you should head back. Its really late. "

"Yeah. Its late. See you guys tomorrow. Good night. "

"Good night Hermione. Thank you and Merry Christmas. "Ginny said.

"Merry Christmas guys. "

"Good night Hermione and Merry Christmas. "Hermione closed the door behind her and went to her room.

"Where were you? I was waiting for you downstairs for three hours. "Ron said.

"I told you that I was studying with Ginny. So why were you waiting for me downstairs Ron? Did you miss me? "She crossed the room and stood in between his legs. She leaned in and kissed him.

"I was waiting for you so that i could give you a early Christmas present. "He stood up in one knee and asked her"Do you Hermione Granger promise to marry me? ""Is this a promise ring? " "Yes" "I promise to marry you Ron. I promise to. "She was in tears and he captured her lips with his and carried her to their bed.

"I love you Mione. "

"I love you too. "

A/N I don't know if there is something called promise ring. I read that in a fanfic and got the idea. Our marriages are very different so plz correct me whenever I make a mistake.
