Harry, Draco and their friends had all completed the 5 weeks of school work before the year really began. They had learned many things including all the ancient battles, all about some of the creatures that inhabited their world, some spells and potions.
Percy had also found love with one of the male students from Durmstrang too, they had been together for a week, and they were already so in love with one another. His name was James and he had told his parents about the boy who he was dating, his parents seemed to take it quite well.
It was now time for the school year to really begin and Harry was feeling nervous. "What if I mess this up Draco?" Harry asked his love.
Harry and Draco were even closer than they were a week ago, as each day went their love for one another became even stronger. It was also their bonding night in 5 days, on the Saturday after their first week of school.
"Oh Harry you are going to be fine. Everyone here is going to accept us for who we are and not who they want us to be. This is not Hogwarts and this is not the light, this is the place where we were meant to be." Draco explained. Draco had learned that Harry was a very emotional person, he needed to be reassured that his friends and Draco were not leaving him and that he was never going to have to go through what he did at the hands of the light with them around.
"You always know just what to say Draco." Harry said, getting up and hugging his lover. "I can't wait for this weekend, not only are we going to become a bonded and mated pair, but we also get to do the act of love that we have wanted to do for so long." Harry said smiling.
It was true that they had not yet gone to the next stage of their relationship. Both of them wanted to have one another more than anything, but they also wanted to wait and make their wedding/bonding night even more special. The ceremony for a bonding is just that, a ceremony which is just like marriage, the true bonding is the love making. The love making had to be within 12 hours of the wedding ceremony, the ceremony is when the blood bond is made as they share blood during the ceremony, but during the love making is when the magic is shared between the two, this is also where a soul bond is formed if the pair is that compatible.
"Yes and I cannot wait either, but we have to get to class." Draco said, they shared one long kiss and left the room holding hands.
There was obviously a lot more students as the new year had began, but that did not stop them, in fact a lot of them nodded at them when they walked past as if they were happy that they were here.
Their schedule was just like that of the one they were using for the 5 weeks previous, so they were able to find their way around the place easily enough.
They picked up everything in classes well and before they all knew it, it was Saturday and the time for the bonding to take place.
Harry and Draco arrived at the manor together, but as soon as they were safely in the walls they were each taken to a different part of the manor. They were not going to be bonded until nearly evening, and they wanted to stick to the tradition of not seeing one another until the wedding.
Harry was in the first bedroom that he stayed in when he first came to the manor all those weeks ago, it felt like he had always been here while in actual fact he had not been. Pretty soon Tom and Severus joined him, in order to help him get ready.
"Are you excited Harry?" Tom asked his son. He and Severus had been bonded the previous week, Harry had asked if they could take the day of so that they could and witness the ceremony between his fathers. The headmaster almost said no until he remembered who his parents were, and he let them go.
"Yes father, dad. I am more than excited and am more than ready for this to happen." Harry said, almost bursting with excitement.
Harry's suit was black as he was considered the man in the relationship, he would be the one to stand at the alter. The jacket was black with red trimmings around the bottoms of the sleeves and up the arms, the pants were black too also having the red trimmings around the hem and up to the top, he had on a red dress shirt and black shoes. His hair was as smooth as they could get it, but it still retained the messy look as well.
Harry was ready, and while he waited for his cue he talked to his dads about what they were going to be planning for the war.
"Well we were thinking that we will let you do the tournament in Hogwarts, have some raids and give the light the feeling of panic that I am back, and then at the last week of the school year we attack." Voldemort said. He and Severus, as well as the Death Eaters had been discussing this when Harry and his friends had been at the school.
"So by the end of this year Dumbledore will be dead, the light will be vanquished and we will have complete control?" Harry asked his father.
"Yes Harry. Lucius and the Board of Governors are getting rid of Fudge as we speak, and Lucius is putting himself forward as the new Minister for Magic, if he wins the votes then that means that we have got the Ministry. After that it will be time to take Hogwarts." Severus said.
"And how are we going to do that? Hogwarts has shields around that are so hard to break." Fred and George said together, they were going to be Harry's best men, and Bill, Charlie, Neville and Viktor were going to be his groomsmen, while Draco's best man was Cedric and his groomsmen Poliakoff, Gellert, Percy, Luna and Daphne.
"Well we have thought about that, and we remembered something. In the castle there is a secret room called the Room of Requirement, this room is able to change itself into what the person wants. Inside this room is the Vanishing Cabinet, the mate of this Cabinet is in Borgan and Burkes. We have got all of the Slytherin's on our side and some people from the other houses, though none from Gryffindor. They will open the Cabinet when we need it to be open and then we make our attack." Voldemort said.
Then bells suddenly sounded, this was signal that they had to head to the alter. They had decided to hold the wedding in the garden of the manor as it was one of the most beautiful places they had ever seen, the reception was going to be in the ballroom of the manor where all of the other parties were also held. The aisle was a mix of red and blue as were all of the decorations, this was to match the suits the two were wearing, which matched the eyes of their mate. It turned out that Narcissa had a license to marry people so she would be the one conducting the ceremony.
All of Harry's groomsmen walked down the aisle to the large gazebo at the end of the garden, where they would be saying their vows, the twins then walked down the aisle together, shortly followed by Harry who was arm in arm with both of his parents. Harry stopped at the right of the alter and took a deep breath, awaiting the sight of his beloved for the first time in a few hours.
Soon the wedding march started up and Draco's groomsmen, as well as the two girls, walked down the aisle, then Draco made his appearance.
All of Harry's world stopped at the sight of Draco, who was being escorted by his father. Draco was wearing a white suit, and what was red on Harry's was blue on Draco's, his hair was slightly messy and he had on a pair of white shoes. In Harry's eyes nothing had looked more beautiful to him.
When Draco reached the end of the aisle he kissed his father on his cheek and took the hand that Harry was offering to him, before they turned to look at Narcissa.
"Do you Harry James Riddle take Draco Lucius Malfoy as your lawfully wedded husband, and your bonded mate in blood and all other aspects?" Narcissa asked.
"I do." Harry said firmly.
"Will you love him, protect him and care for him with all your heart?" She asked.
"I will." Harry said, never moving his gaze from Draco's eyes.
She turned to Draco. "Do you Draco Lucius Malfoy take Harry James Riddle as your lawfully wedded husband and bonded mate, in blood and in all aspects?" She asked him.
"I do." Draco said, just as firmly as Harry.
"Will you love him, protect him and care for him with all your heart?" She asked him.
"I will." Draco said looking into Harry's eyes.
Narcissa turned and pulled a knife for them to cut their palms and place a few drops into a cup, which they willingly did. "By the power vested in me I ask for this marriage and this bonding to be accepted by the highest powers." She chanted an ancient spell and the blood fizzed, moving together to form one.
Harry and Draco closed their eyes as the feeling settled over them. When the feeling stopped they opened their eyes to show that, gone were the blue and red eyes, and in their place were purple eyes.
"The bond has been accepted, will you consummate this bonding within 12 hours?" She asked them.
They both blushed. "We will promise this." They said.
She smiled and said, "Then this bonding is complete, you may kiss one another." And they did that, not caring if anyone was around them.
This would be a good night for the newlyweds.
