Last we saw our Nyx, she had just celebrated Christmas with her new family. She had handed her two lovers two necklaces that were apart of a very powerful necklace set. One that changed depending on the intended wearer. This set would cause the triad to form a soul bond. You see, dear reader, the triad had already begun to form a magical bond that would bond them together for life, but by wearing these necklaces they will not be separated, even in death. The only other magical couples in history said to have formed this type of bond were: Merlin and his unknown lover; Lily and James Potter; Celestina Warbeck and her husband; as well as Godric Gryffindor and his wife.
Our triad has unknowingly joined history as the first triad to form a soul bond. The triad will cause quite a bit of trouble when this news reaches the wrong ears.
An evil force has begun to rise to power in the name of the Dark Lord, and it shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. It threatens war, and has already killed many innocent witches, wizards, and muggles alike.
War is on the horizon once again for the wizarding world.
And our triad will be at the center of it all.
Nyx POV
The pain in my torso was almost unbearable, and as I looked at the twins, I saw that they too were in pain. We were all doubled over and gripping our chests as we struggled to breathe around the pain.
"What's happening?" I heard Molly shout as people crowded around us, trying to understand what was happening.
I dropped to my knees as the pain increased, it appeared that the twins had done the same.
"What did you do to my brothers!?" Ron snarled as he appeared in front of my and grabbed ahold of the collar of my shirt, forcing me to look him in the eyes.
Sirius was quick to pull him off me and stand protectively in front of me.
"Whatever is happening to your brothers, it's happening to my daughter as well. She didn't do this on purpose." Sirius spoke roughly to Ron, who appeared to be the only one that blamed me for this-whatever this is.
It seemed like an eternity before something happened.
The first was Fred. A small, glowing orb of red light suddenly burst from his back, and shot towards me. It hovered above me.
Next was George. He gave a small cry of pain as a golden orb, similar to Fred's red one, burst from his back and hovered above me, next to Fred's orb.
At this point, the room was silent.
Then, I gave a dry of pain as two silvery orbs shot out of my back and went to float above the twins. One hovered over each boy.
Then, with a burning pain, the two orbs above me flew down and entered my back. From the cries of pain, I knew the same had occured for the boys.
It was then, that the pain finally took its toll, and the three of us fell unconscious.
Third Person POV
The crowd watched as Fred, George, and Nikki all fell unconscious, slumping to the floor next to each other.
"What was that?" Harry spoke first, everyone else still in stunned silence at what they had just witnessed.
"That, my dear boy, was the formation of a soul bond." Sirius spoke quietly as he looked down at his daughter.
"A what?" Hermione spoke softly, as she looked worriedly at her friends.
"A soul bond. It's a rare and powerful bond that very few witches and wizards have formed. No one really knows how one is formed, as everytime one is formed, it's always formed differently." Charlie explained and stepped toward Hermione, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her into his chest. He knew she was worried and frightened, and wanted to help calm her down a bit.
"Your parents formed a soul bond, Harry. They formed it on their wedding night." Sirius finally looked up from his daughters unconscious form and looked at Harry.
"What does a soul bond even do?" Ron asked, annoyed but also curious.
"It connects the bond mates by breaking off pieces of their souls and transferring it to the other mate. It connects them not only in life, but in death as well. If the bond mates are reborn, they will seek each other out in their next life. They won't remember their past life until they find each other again. It is said that Merlini formed this bond with an unknown lover, and that when they find each other, then Merlin will return. It truly is a rare type of bond. Though, I've never heard of it occurring in a triad." Bill was the one to explain the bond.
Silence was what followed Bill's statement. No one dare speak as they stared in wonder at the triad that lay before them. None of them had any idea what they should do or say.
After a few minutes of silence, the members of the triad began to stir and wake.
Narrator
I will interrupt the story once again here to jump you ahead by two weeks.
You see, our triad spent the two weeks following the soul bond studying their latest bond, and I will not bore you with this information. The family had also agreed to keep their bond a secret until they deemed it time to announce it to the wizarding world.
We will pick up the story to when life will truly begin for our triad.
Nyx POV
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE*SMACK*
I groaned as my alarm sounded from my nightstand. I climbed out of bed slowly, and made my way to the bathroom for a shower.
I turned on the water so it could warm up, and began to strip out of my pajamas. I caught sight of myself in my bathroom mirror and paused to take in how I had changed since escaping my mother.
I had toned up my muscles, and though I was far from buff, I was visibly stronger. My hair had grown even further, and I knew it would be time for a trim soon as it now was almost long enough for me to sit on it.
My eyes were the most obvious change, as they were now a bright silvery color that hinted at the power I possessed.
Scars still riddled my body, though many had faded.
There were also the two biggest changes. My bond marks.
They had darkened over time, now a deep grey that stood out against my pale skin. They had also gotten larger, now reaching my elbows. It was odd to see the same marks on Fred and George, though they of course only had one arm covered in the marks.
We had made it a point to do things as a triad ever since we first got the marks. We could often be found cuddled on the couch in their flat, or laying on the floor of my room in what we deemed a "Cuddle Huddle". We had of course had many makeout sessions, as well as dates with the three of us.
With them being war heroes, the Daily Prophet was quick to pick up their new relationship and would write at least one article about us per week. Sometimes more.
I stepped away from the mirror as steam began to fill the bathroom. I stepped in the shower and let the hot water run down my body, relaxing the tense muscles from work the previous day.
After fifteen minutes, I was back in my room and getting ready for the day.
I threw on a nude bra with lace detail and a matching pair of nude lace underwear, I then went on the hunt for clothing.
I found a light blue bodycon sweater sweater dress with long sleeves and a bulky, loose turtleneck and threw it on. The dress hit mid thigh and I knew I needed either long socks or tights, whichever I found first.
As I hunted through my room, I found a pair of soft, white thigh high wool socks and slipped them on. I grabbed a pair of knee high brown lace up boots and pulled them on, doing up the laces quickly.
As an accent piece, I grabbed an elastic belt that was light brown and covered in lace.
With my look completed, I cast a warming charm on myself, grabbed my white trench coat and purse, then made my way down the stairs to leave for the shop.
Before I made it to the door, I heard a soft hoot from the kitchen.
I made my way to investigate the noise and saw my mothers owl sitting on the perch next to the window.
I set my stuff on the table and cautiously made my way to the owl. When the owl made no move to acknowledge me, I reached to its leg and undid the letter tied there. The owl then promptly flew away.
I let out a shaky breath as I unrolled the letter and began to read it.
-The Letter-
To my daughter Nyx,
I am writing you to inform you of some wonderfully good news.
Quintus Norwood has chosen you as his bride, though I have no idea why since you can't follow rules.
But my opinion would no sway his decision. You are to be his bride, whether you want to marry him or not. You will not bring further shame on this family by turning down his proposal.
Now, I have an offer to make you.
Your have broken many rules since you ran away, and you need to be punished you for it, but here is my offer:
If you return of your own volition and marry Quintus, then I will forgive your wrong doings and there will be no punishment.
If you choose to stay where you are and try to fight this, then Quintus will be forced to retrieve you himself, and then you will marry him and your punishment will be in his hands.
I suggest you return to prepare for your wedding. Otherwise, Quintus will retrieve you, and he will kill anyone who tries to stop him. This includes those silly little boyfriends of yours.
I just hope you have kept yourself pure, otherwise I don't know what Quintus will do.
I hope to see you return home soon,
Your Mother
PS: Don't try to fight this. You won't win.
I leaned on the counter as fear consumed me. I was afraid this would happen.
"How can I stop him?" I whispered to myself as I began to worry.
Our bond wasn't fully formed and could be easily be broken, and our soul bond would only truly affect us when we die.
That's when I figured out the solution.
And it terrified me.
I shoved the letter in my purse and silently made my way to the door to apparate to the shop, my heart heavy as I thought of what had to be done.
Fred POV
Nikki had arrived 10 minutes late for her shift, and said nothing when we greeted her and tried to hug her. She simply stepped away and put her stuff in the back room before going back out to the sales floor to help customers.
That was nearly 8 hours ago.
She hadn't said a word to either George or I, and avoided us during her breaks.
The shop was about to close down for the night as we knew we needed to talk to her to find out what was wrong.
"George, You go lock up and I'll get Nikki up to our apartment to talk." I spoke quietly so Nikki didn't overhear me.
George nodded and made the announcement that the shop would be closing.
Customers made their last minute purchases and made their way out of the shop, and George quickly locked the door behind them.
Lee made his way to the back room and collected his things, apparating home from the back room.
I followed behind Nyx as she made her way to the back room as well.
As soon as she had gathered her things, I wrapped my arms around her waist and apparated up to the apartment before she could utter any words of protest.
George was already standing in the living room waiting.
"What the hell?" Nyx yelled as she pulled away from me and looked between George and I.
"You've been distant all day." George pointed an accusing finger at her, a look of concern on his face.
"We know something is wrong." I spoke up and she turned to look at me.
"Please talk to us, Love. Whatever it is that's bothering you, we'll help." George spoke softly as he dropped his accusing finger and looked at our Nyx with sad eyes.
"I.. Boys…" Nyx looked between us, seeming to fight with herself. Then, without any warning, she started crying.
George and I were shocked, but before we could move to comfort her, she reached into her purse and pulled out a crumpled piece of parchment.
"Read it." She whispered softly as she held out the letter and George and I moved forward.
We took the letter and read over it.
To say we were pissed would be an understatement.
"How dare he!" George growled as he dropped the letter on the coffee table and began to pace.
I stood frozen, staring at the letter in anger and confusion.
"I can only figure out one way to protect everyone." Nyx spoke softly, and George and I looked at her.
"What is that?" George asked suspiciously.
"You're not going to like it…" Nyx nervously fiddled with her sleeves as she refused to look at either of us.
"What is it Nyx?" I asked, my voice also sounding suspicious and worried.
"Well…"
What do you think will be Nyx's solution to the problem she has been presented with? Leave your guess in the comments!
Thank you guys for being so patient with me, I really do appreciate it.
Love ya guys and I'll see ya next time,
Ginger
