Sorry for the long delay in this chapter but I found myself in the middle of a little block on how I wanted to present it. Thank you to all of you that have given such positive feedback. I really appreciate it. Now onto the rest of it. I own nothing of these characters, but appreciate being able to read and write about them. Thank you J.K. I promise the next chapter won't take as long to complete.
Harry had a whole new outlook on where his life was going. He didn't know who was going to be with him throughout the journey but was finally looking forward to his life and the girl he would be meeting. If his dream had been correct he would be meeting his soul mate. A person's soul was bonded solely to him and his sole to her.
As the day went on Harry became more nervous. Finally, Hermione spoke up before doing something she might regret.
"Harry settle down. What has gotten into you that has made you so anxious?" asked an exasperated Hermione.
"I'm going to meet my secret admirer tonight and have a strong feeling that I am going to be meeting the future Mrs. Potter." Harry replied.
"OH, you really think this is the one?" Hermione replied looking totally shocked.
Harry went on and explained his dream and how he met his mother in a room full of memories. He went on to explain how he met his father and how they talked about Harry's life. They discussed many things including that he would be meeting his soul mate tonight. Harry told Hermione about making peace with his parents and seeing the imprints of his future children.
"Harry, that's incredible. No wonder you are anxious. Have you decided what you're wearing tonight?" asked Hermione.
In another part of the castle a young lady was getting ready to meet what she hoped was her future husband. She sat on her bed almost hyperventilating when her best friend asked what was going on.
"Susan, what is going on with you? You are making yourself sick. Tell me what is going on." Hannah Abbott said loudly.
Susan settled down enough to explain, "You know how Harry Potter had tons and tons of marriage proposals."
Hannah nodded her head yes. You know how he narrowed it down to four girls. Well, I learned recently that I am one of the four." Susan stated.
"Susan, that is incredible, why are you so nervous?" Hannah said.
"Before I found out that I was one of the four I sent Harry a secret admirer letter. This was right after Greengrass and Weasley pulled their crap on him. During Christmas my Aunt Ami hinted that I was one of the four. She knew this because Harry talked to her earlier this year. After break Harry tried to talk to me but I had to act all shy because I didn't want him to know I was his secret admirer. So he went on to see Padma, who was the last of the four. When they went their separate ways I sent another letter telling him that if he was still interested that he wear a pin I provided for him. Harry wore the pin for everyone to see. Seeing this I wrote one last letter telling him I would meet him tonight in the room of requirement. OH MY GOSH HANNAH, What if he hates me?" I don't know what to do? Susan said starting to get panicky again.
"Susan Amelia Bones! You are a wonderful, beautiful, smart and charming woman. If you just be yourself and be confident Harry will fall head over heels for you." Hannah stated confidently.
"You really think he will?" Susan said quietly.
"Yes, I know so." said Hannah giving Susan a hug.
After a short pep talk from Hermione, Harry made his way to the room of requirement. At exactly 7:00 p.m. Harry opened the door. When he walked in he saw the back of the woman he was supposed to me. All of a sudden he recognized her.
"You're the girl from my dream." Harry said not realizing he said it out loud.
Startled she turned around and looked at Harry. "Sue!? You're…my secret admirer?" Harry chocked out.
Sue put her head down slightly but continued to keep an eye on Harry. She smiled at Harry and walked over to him. "Yes, Harry I am your secret admirer. What did you mean I am the girl in your dream?" Susan said quietly.
Harry closed the gap between them and gave her a small hug. They locked arms while not taking their eyes off each other went and sat down on the couch in front of the elegant fire place. Harry looked at Susan and wondered how he would explain the dream without scaring her away.
"I'm not sure how to describe the dream, but in the dream there was a woman that I was having a conversation with. The conversation I was having with her made it seem I was married to her. I did not get to see her face but she looked identical to you from behind."
Sue gave Harry a shy smile and said, "I hope you're not disappointed."
Harry looked at Susan very closely and smiled. "Not all Miss Bones, as a matter of fact I am quite pleased.
"Susan felt her whole body relax as he said it. They sat on the sofa talking about what they've been doing since the war ended. It was mostly small talk but it was enjoyable for both of them. Before they were about to leave Harry brought up the dream he had from the night before. "Sue, before you go there is one thing I want to make you aware of. Last night I had the greatest dream or vision of my life. I met my parents and we had a long talk. My mum mentioned that I would meet my soul mate today. Tonight, when we are sleeping we will be going to see them again. So when you go to sleep tonight they will be throwing us a party. It will be to celebrate us finding each other. They did mention meeting many people." Harry said softly.
Susan gave Harry a shocked look before answering him, "Harry, that's incredible do you think it might mean I will see my parents again?"
Susan began shedding some tears. Harry went over to her and put his arms around her. Susan buried her head into his chest as Harry softly rubbed her back telling her it would be ok. Susan settled down and looked up into Harry's eyes. She brought her lips up to his. At first their touch was light and tentative, but soon as if on instinct they both deepen the kiss craving for more. As this was going on a shimmering of colored lights of all colors began to wrap around the young couple. As they ended their kiss the lights looked like they just absorbed into their bodies.
With his eyes still closed Harry had a smile on his fact when he said, "Now that's a kiss.
"Susan with her arms still around Harry replied, "I couldn't agree more."
"To answer your question I do think you'll see your parents tonight." Harry said very caringly.
Harry and Susan stayed in the room for a few more snog sessions. Harry escorted Susan back to her dorm before making his way back to his own common room where he knew Hermione would be waiting for him.
"So how did it go?" Hermione said very anxiously.
"It was absolutely brilliant. I never felt this way about anyone before. I feel like I have known her forever. Why do you think we never got together before now?" Harry inquired.
"Probably due to your focus being totally on staying alive and defeating Riddle. You never dated before this year so meeting up with Susan before this year was slim." Hermione answered with a smirk.
Harry thought a moment, "I suppose your right. It's getting late I'm heading off to bed."
Susan entered her common room after another fantastic kiss from Harry. She was thinking about her night with Harry when a voice came out of nowhere.
"Earth to Sue come in Sue," said Hannah waving her hands in front of Sue.
"Oh, I'm sorry Hannah. I was just thinking," Sue said.
"That's a pretty big smile for just thinking. I take it your date went well." Hannah said teasingly.
"It went better than I could imagine. We talked about everything and just felt like it was meant to be." Susan said with a far away look.
Hannah smiled at her friend as they made their way to bed.
as Susan drifted off to sleep it seemed like just minutes, Susan woke up in a room that looked quite like Harrys. On the walls were many pictures and in the middle were some stands with items on them. Susan got up to investigate the room when a voice from behind her said,
"You have sure grown into a beautiful young lady." Susan turned around to face the voice. She looked at the person in the doorway and ran to her.
"Mum…I've missed you terribly." Susan said beginning to cry as she hugged her mother.
"Oh, sweetie, we are so proud of the young woman you have become. We don't have a lot time so should we go see your father and meet up with your soul mate?" Mary Bones asked.
Susan was able to have some time alone with her parents before they met up with Harry and his parents. They both spoke about how proud they were of her and were able to point out some of their favorite pictures of Susan. The time came for them to meet up with the Potters and guests. As they appeared at their destination Susan saw many relatives and people she had never met before. The same went for Harry as he was introduced to family members he never even heard of.
The time came for Harry and Susan to have the soul bonding ceremony. They stood in front of all the relatives and friends while the parents stood by their children.
"Thank you for coming today to help us celebrate the bonding of our son Harry and his lovely bride Susan." James Potter announced proudly.
"We are very happy this young couple has found each other at last because they have been soul mates since the time they were created." Peter Bones said.
"Now we the parents of Harry and Susan will give our blessings for this union to take place in the place where all who live were created." James Potter said.
The four parents put their hands on the couple and gave their blessing. Harry and Susan announced their love for each other for all to hear. Once this was done a large bright light appeared and wrapped itself around both Harry and Susan. The feeling they both had was hard to describe but it was pure love and the love everyone there felt for them.
Harry Potter finally got the one thing that had been missing in his life that was having someone love him unconditionally.
Susan Bones had someone to fill the empty parts of her heart that until now was filled with loneliness. The time had come for them to go back to the living, but they both went back having a whole new outlook on life.
