Angel on Campus Keeperoliver Chapter 28
Rhea and Fay waited all morning for Tina to appear. It was close to noon when she finally made it. Rhea saw that Tina had made Fay's Project a reality. Her glow was glowing bright and with a slight pink twinge to it.
"Tina, I don't know why you felt this was necessary, but, I see the glow you ar4e presenting, and if I do say so, it makes you more beautiful than you were. Has Fred made a commitment yet?"
"Yes he has Boss. He asked me to marry him last night, and I accepted. He will probably want to get married quickly, to cover up the fact that I am already pregnant. He will probably get George and Percy involved to help with the cover up. Rhea, I think something went wrong with the memory block, as Fred felt sure we met before his return. I didn't know what to tell him, so I said it was just coincidence, and I just reminded him of someone else."
"Tina, I think he may have a crush on you in the afterlife. He may have even loved you. It had yo be something strong for him to remember you. This could work to our advantage, as now, more than ever, there is a strong link to the others. It may have been a weaker link, if he had no feelings for you. I suggest you continue on, and show him you love him, as I am sure you do. Fay and I are going to miss you, up top, but, like you said, it had to be. Once Fay and I leave, you will remember none of the plan, or us. It has to be this way, sweetheart. We can leave behind no trace to our visit."
"I understand Rhea. I have no regrets, but one. Fay you were my first love, and I will miss the times we shared together. I did this for you my love. Even though I won't, I hope you will always remember me. Your project will succeed, and the unification will come about, just you wait and see. I do ask one thing though, Rhea. Please wipe out my memory now, as I wish to make my time with Fred as pleasurable as possible, and I don't think I could do that, with memories of you and Fay." Tina said this with tears in her eyes. Rhea watched as Fay and Tina shared one last kiss.
Tina woke up ten minutes later to a deserted house, with no memory of how she got here. She last remembered waking up to being in Fred's arms, after a night of bliss. She looked to the clock, and saw the time. Fred was going to be here in an hour, and they were going to go ring shopping, and to find a gown to wear. She was excited at the thought of being Mrs. Fred Weasley, and joining the ever growing Potter family.

Harry was amazed how quick Luna's recovery was. He got up to charge her core, and Luna told him it wasn't necessary. They dressed and left a note for every one they were going to work, and to meet them in the Dining area, when they could.
Molly was surprised and disappointed when Harry and Luna showed up. She enjoyed her work for the college, and would miss it. Harry saw the look on Molly's face, and asked her to remain until he got back, as he had to let Richard know that he and Luna were back.
Richard usually got to work early, to get his paperwork done, before the day got busy. He was surprised when Harry walked in, with his breakfast. "Damn Harry you are a life saver, and a mind reader. I was just thinking of going up and grabbing a bite to eat. What are you doing in this morning? I thought Luna was ill?"
"She was Richard, but, this morning she up and at it, like it never happened. So we came to work. Listen, If you took some of my wages, and paid Molly with them, do you think we could keep her here. I never saw her so lively, and energetic. She really loves it here, and the students love her as well. Luna could always use another dance partner."
"Harry, I don't think we will have to touch your pay. Dean Standish had received enough letters from the students to grant her to stay. She will be payed the same as Luna. Of course it won't be near what she received when she filled in for you, but, it won't be bad. Why don't we go talk to her, and see if she wants the job? Besides, I think I could use another danish or two."
They laughed, as they headed back to the Dining room. They stopped at the window to the bakery, and watched as Luna and Molly danced through the kitchen, while taking care of the baking needs. Richard was enjoying watching the two, and how close they were with each other. Richard then had a thought. "Harry, with these two able to handle the work load, it leaves you time to handle other matters. Would you consider becoming the Manager over the whole food service. We really need some one to take charge of the operation. We have a kitchen manager, and Luna could take over the bakery."
"Richard, is a full time manager really required. We seem to be doing fine with out one? I mean, I know the ladies are more than capable of taking care of the bakery, but, will the kitchen take kindly to an outsider taking charge. I get along with the kitchen workers, and hate to put that in jeopardy."
"Harry, this came down from the Board of Directors. They wish to have a representative at their meetings, for all of the college activities, to include food service. Your name has come up more times than I can count. Your reputation precedes you Harry and you pack quite a following both on staff, and in the community. Plus, they have been looking for a way to get your goodies to their meetings. I also think you could probably find ways to improve the quality food served to the students, and with a larger variety. I think you have hidden talents when it comes to food in general, rather than just baking."
"I hate to say this Richard, but, your right. I had been thinking of talking to the kitchen staff, and suggesting they find different ways to prepare the food. The States have a way of cooking their food, over heated embers. They call it a Barbecue. I think we could try something like that. then there is something they call hot wings that the students may like. Yes, Richard, I believe I will try my hand at this Manager's position. Oh yeah, I think you should offer the Goddess of Flour, Sugar, and Spices to Molly, not Luna. Solely because of the age difference. Luna will understand. That, and Luna will be taking maternity leave here in a few months, and I will probably be taking her place. Now, shall we go in, and join the dance. I will bring both ladies down, after work, so that we can talk." They then walked in, and were pulled into the ladies arms for a dance. Richard saw a couple of kitchen workers watching the four dancing through the bakery, and they looked on with longing, like they wished they could do it. Richard waved them in, and they joined in with the dance for a few minutes, before they had to return to the kitchen, but, they enjoyed it.
Molly and Luna joined Harry after work, and walked to Richard's office, and they were surprised when they saw Dean Standish there. "Ah, just the people I needed to see. Molly, dear, how are you. Luna, you look fabulous as usual. Harry, I think you know why I'm here. But first things first. Luna, I have to ask you something, and you may not like it. Harry is being pulled from the bakery, and will becoming the Food Service Manager. Now, Molly will be taking his place, as the bakery supervisor, if she wants the job, and if you accept her as your supervisor. I know you have been there longer, but, we feel that with her experience, and the way you two work together, it will work. Does this bother you in any way?"
"Why should it? Molly is a delight to work with. I will miss Harry's constant presence, but, Molly will be there, so, I don't see why I should be affected? It's Molly who should be asked if she could work with me? We could work together with no barrier between us. Harry could still be the supervisor. Luna and I know what needs to be done, and the numbers that need to be maintained, and to whom they go to. Why does one of us have to be in charge? And thank you for wanting me to stay. I do enjoy working here so much. It gets me out of the empty house, and close to the people I care for."
Harry agreed with Molly's idea. There was no need for a direct supervisor in the bakery, right now. However, he was thinking of the future, when he said, "Mom, with the way things are going, we may have to expand the Bakery, and hire more people. If that happens, the need for a supervisor will be required. If we have one in place, before the expansion, there will be fewer hassles when the expansion takes place. You will be there for equipment placement, hiring, scheduling, ordering, delivery, and general leadership. With they orders that are coming in, we may have to triple our requirements. I know there are two people in the kitchen wishing to work in the bakery. One thing I ask though, is don't change a thing, when it comes to enjoying the work routine. Luna loves her work, and she loves her freedom to be able to dance. The students, and faculty enjoy it as well. You get a lot more out of the workers, when they enjoy coming to work every day."
"Harry, do you really see the need to expand our work station? I mean we are doing fine as it is." Molly asked?
Luna added her comments, "Molly, Harry is right. Yes, we have been taking care of the workload, but, have you noticed that our days keep getting a little longer every day. If we keep pushing the ovens the way we are, they will break down on us. With Harry gone most of the time, we will be needing new dance partners, as well. Do you think we should make it a part of the requirement, that they know how to dance?"
"Is it any wonder why I love this girl? She is just too precious." Harry laughed.

Six months had gone by. Ginny, Hermione, Tina and Lavender were all pregnant. Luna was ready to deliver at any time. Ron and Pansy were blessed with a boy, they named Nicholas. Luna and Rolf were going to name their boys Lorcan and Lysander, but, they changed their names. It would now be Lysander Aaron, and Remus Sirius.
Draco started his new appointment to the Queen, and Astoria and Narcissa were loving the excitement it brougt to them. There were banquets, parties, Dinners, meetings, and just get togethers with friends. Draco was called to the Queens presence at least three times a week, and they got to know each other quite well. Bunny was seeing things take shape. She had been visited by Rhea and Fay, before they left, and they told her of what to expect, and from whom. She was not surprised when Harry's name was mentioned. It was not the first time Reality and Fate visited her. Twice before the saw the Queen. The first time was the worst, as it was because of this Tom Riddle. The second time was because of the coming death of Albus Dumbledore, and the defeat of Tom Riddle at the hands of a teen age boy with the name of Harry Potter.
Now, it was the coming of six youths, sharing a bond, who were to bring about the merger of the magical, and Muggle world in a peaceful co-existence. Fate and Reality wanted the Queen know of these facts, so that she could pass it on to her successor. They needed to know that the working of the six must not be blocked. They were to be given full cooperation from the British Government, and the Magical Ministry.
On the 25th of December, 2002, Lysander and Remus Scamander were born to Rolf and Luna. Aaron and Remus were asked to be their Godfathers. Rolf wanted Harry to be named Godfather to one of the boys, but, Harry deferred. Uncle Harry was fine with him. Ginny and Hermione were named Godmothers.
Four of the eight members of Fay's project were now present. Frank II, and Nick, along with Lysander and Remus. In three months time, they would be joined by the daughters of Ginny, Hermione, Tina, and Lavender. Only the Queen knew that the eight would be bonded when the last child was born to Tina.
On March 18 of 2003, Ginny and Hermione gave birth to their daughters. Ginny and Harry named their daughter Faith Lynn, and Hermione and George named their daughter Destiny Renee Weasley. On March 21, Lavender and Sirius had a daughter they named Aphrodite (No middle name) Black. On April 1st, Tina and Fred gave birth to Katrina Bree Weasley. The minute Katie was born, a brilliant light surrounded the eight children, creating a bond the like of which, would never be seen again. It was felt throughout both the muggle and magical world. Everyone knew something special had just taken place. They just had to wait to see what it was, and when it would come to light.
In the Potter house, mass hysteria was taking place. So much was going on in the last three weeks, that no one knew who was coming, and who was going. The minute Remus and Destiny came in contact, another golden light surrounded them, and they became one with the other. This continued with the others, when the correct pair met for the first time. Frank II, and Faith were the next to share their bond, followed by Lysander and Katie, and finally Nick and Aphrodite. The four couples would go through life sharing their love with their families, but, would not know any love for any one, but their bonded mate.

Rhea and Fay looked down upon their family, as it was no longer a project. They had come to love the close knit group that had become so close. Tina and Fred had secretly got married with the help of George and Percy. Molly almost died when Fred finally told her, but, in the end she was happy for them both. She always cared for Tina, and know knowing Fred and her were married, was like a heaven send. The only one she had to worry about now, was Charlie, her only single child.
Rhea and Fay held hands as they watched the four couples become bonded. They cried as they watched Tina give birth to Katie. She was named Katrina, because it was so close to the word catalyst, which is what she was.
They laughed at the antics of Fred, George, and Percy when Katie was born on the twins birthday. Fred proclaimed this as his best birthday gift ever, and proved this by pranking the three members of the marauders present. They became Moe (James), Larry (Remus), and Curly (Sirius). The Three Stooges, complete with their act. The prank lasted 24 hours, providing non-stop laughs for any who witnessed it. Sirius was the funniest, especially with him loosing his hair. Remus was a close second. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get his hair to lay flat. It stuck out on the sides, and up on top, with a bald spot right in the middle. Tonks must have taken a hundred pictures of them to secure the moment. Rhea and Fay captured the full 24 hours in memories, which became their favorite thing to watch, when they needed a good laugh.
They continued to watch the following years, as the children grew. They watched, as Harry and Ginny had a second child they named James Harold Potter.
Hermione and George had a second child they named Rose Anne Weasley. Hermione also got a surprise, when she learned her mother and father decided they would be moving back to England, to retire from their practice.
Draco had become so successful with his position, when Kingsley decided to retire, Draco became the new Minister of Magic. As soon as he was declared the Minister, he was brought before the Queen. He was made privvy to what Rhea and Fay had told her about the 8 children of the Potter group. He was told by the Queen he had to help them achieve their goal of unification. He promised he would fully support their plans. Draco had learned to respect the Muggle population, and their accomplishments.
All was set for the coming four years, before the children started their schooling at Hogwarts.
