Chapter 36- New Family additions

February 8-

Narcissa was feeling the early stages of labor for hours but didn't say much until the contractions got closer together. It was just after dinner when they were seven minutes apart, "Lucius? I think you should call for Severus now."

Lucius looked up, "Cissy?"

"I'm getting closer. You might inform the boys as well."

Lucius grinned, "Dippy!"

The summoned elf arrived quickly, "Yes Master?"

"Make sure Narcissa makes it to our rooms." Lucius said just before kissing her, "Be right back."

XoooooX

It was eight hours before a rather red-face Severus checking Narcissa again, "Your water did break and you are fully dilated. Do me a favor and push? I know I delivered Draco and I'm a healer but I need to remove these memories." The last thing he liked know was that he'd seen up Narcissa's skirt.

Narcissa whimpered, nearly crushing Lucius' hand as she pushed.

There was a welcomed cry…

Severus used a severing charm to cut the cord and then tied it as he used a gentle cleaning charm to clean the infant. Soon he'd be carrying his own he hoped…

Lucius surprised himself by diapering and wrapping the baby, his daughter he noticed before handing her to his wife. "Cissy, she's beautiful. Just like you."

Narcissa smirked, "Don't get any ideas, I'm not planning on another kid yet. I have bonding to plan and oversee."

Lucius kissed her check, "Blaisé's Bonding is tomorrow, are you sure you'll be up to it?"

Narcissa sneered, "A few potions and I'll be right as rain. Something as little as giving birth to my daughter isn't going to keep me from presiding over the bonding of the son of my heart."

"If you say so Cissy." He let her feed the baby, "What should we call her?"

Narcissa smirked, "Has to be a constellation…"

Lucius chuckled, "Blacks…"

"How about Carina Fayanna Malfoy?"

Lucius shrugged, "Whatever you want."

XoooooX

Draco was pacing in the drawing room at the Manor; he was worried about his mother…

Harry noticed the family tree had grown another leaf, he said softly, "Carina Fayanna Malfoy?" it was a beautiful name…

Draco blinked, spun around and checked the wall; he really did have a sister.

Severus walked in, "Your mother is fine and insisting on holding Blaisé's bonding tomorrow as planned. I suggest we all get some sleep."

XoooooX

Invitations to Charlie and Blaisé's Bonding had been sent to their families and Housemates.

The Bonding was scheduled for two in the afternoon…

Only Ginny, Ron and Molly look very unhappy to be there…

The rite was being held in the Solarium due to the weather, otherwise it would have been held outside..

Lucius began, "May the place of this rite be consecrated by the Magic that binds us together as one people. For we gather here in a ritual of love with two who would be Bonded one to another. Charles Octavian Weasley and Blaise Orion Zabini please come forward and stand here before us, and before those who came before."

Charlie and Blaise stepped forward and stood before Lucius and Narcissa, Charlie in front of Narcissa, Blaise in front of Lucius.

Narcissa lifted her hands facing the East, "Be with us here, O beings of the Air with your clever fingers tie closely the bonds between these two."

Lucius spoke the South, "Be with us here, O beings of Fire. Give their love and passion your own all-consuming ardor."

Narcissa turned to the West, "Be with us here, O beings of Water Give them the deepest of love and the richness of the body, of the soul and of the spirit."

Lucius cast his eyes to the North, "Be with us here, O beings of Earth Let your strength and constancy be theirs for so long as they desire to remain together"

Lucius and Narcissa lifted their voiced together, "Blessed Ancestors give to these before you, we do ask your love and protection. Blessed Be."

Everyone but Molly, Ron and Ginny repeated, "Blessed Be."

Narcissa and Lucius used their wands to levitate up the baton between them with the rings upon it.

Narcissa smiled at them, "Place your right hands over this baton and your rings, Charlie's hand over Blaisé's. Above you are the stars below you are the stones as time does pass Remember: Like a star should our love be constant. Like a stone should your love be firm. Be close, but not too close. Posses one another, but be understanding. Have patience each with the other for storms will come, but they will go quickly. Be free in the giving of affection and warmth. Make love often, and be sensuous with one another. Have no fear and let not the ways or words of the unenlightened give you unease for those who love you are with you, now and Always."

Narcissa paused for five heartbeats, "Is it your wish, Blaise Orion Zabini to become one with this man?"

Blaise gave his answer, "More then anything."

Lucius Spoke, "Is it your wish, Charles Octavian Weasley to become one with this man?

Charlie gives his answer, "I do, I love him and our Children."

Narcissa asked, "Do any say nay?"

Before the three unwelcome Weasleys could say anything, Fred and Bill had already Cursed them into silence.

Narcissa beamed, "Then, as the Ancient Ones are witness to this rite and the Blessing of the House of Malfoy, I now proclaim you Bonded."

Percy stepped forward with the Bonding contract, while he and Draco held out quills.

Charlie and Blaise signed the contract, magic leapt from the parchment entwining around their wrists with silver and gold chains.

Blaise said quietly, "Bound to one another by love that shall never be torn asunder." the magic flickered but the connection between them was stronger then before that transformed to rings.

Lucius held out his wand as Percy sealed the scroll, " May I introduce for the first time Charles Octavian and Blaise Orion Zabini Let us bless the couple…"

"As it is written…so let it be…" the chorus was taken up with raised wands that showered the couple with gold and sliver sparks.

Ron was seething, Ginny was worried that her poor deluded Harry would find himself tangled in Malfoy's web and forced to bond. Molly may not approve of her son's bondmate but she would never miss one of her children's wedding. Why couldn't Charlie Bond to that cute pink haired Hufflepuff Chaser? Didn't she become an Auror? Something Tonks…

Draco hugged Charlie, "Welcome to the family."

Arthur slide the Prewett ring onto his second son's finger, "Make that Lord Charles Octavian Prewett-Zabini."

Fred glanced at his twin, his lover, the pain he saw in George's eyes wasn't a surprise. He squeezed George's hand, smiling at him. He'd find something, they couldn't bond but surely there was some ceremony…

George looked into Fred's eyes and gave him a slight smile.

Harry hugged Charlie, "You be good to Blaise. He's like a brother."

Fred called out, "Hey! I thought we were your brothers."

Harry grinned, "Can't have too many brothers. If you're my brothers, then so is Charlie and Charlie married Draco's brother."

Draco smirked, "Love your logic."

Lucius had gently bullied Narcissa into a chair and Severus had reluctantly handed off his future goddaughter.

Ron was still grumbling to himself but the spell that had been cast on him had yet to wear off.

Molly was luckier, she moved close to Remus, "Any news when Ginny's suspension might be up? She had missed her exams…

Lucius snorted, "Weren't you informed? Ginny is to report to the Ministry for questioning under Veritaserum regarding the potions she acquired in three days." The crazy third year Gryffindor wench might end up facing charges for using regulated potions illegally against the Boy Who Lived. "Will we be seeing you in two days?"

Molly blinked, "Two days?"

Narcissa looked up from feeding her daughter, "Percy, he's bonding to Oliver."

Molly staggered, "He'll ruin his life…"

Percy stiffened.

Oliver glared at Molly Weasley's back and hugged his fiancé.

Harry clapped his hands, "Presents!"

Narcissa grinned, "Well Lucius? Give him our gift."

Lucius walked to the place his honorary son was sitting, and handed him an envelope. "Congratulations."

Blaise opened it to find a 100 Galleon certificate to Charlene's, he raised an eyebrow.

"Best place for the finest in Baby clothes." Narcissa grinned.

Harry blushed, "I…hired Dean to paint your nursery. I don't know what you'd want so I thought I'd leave it up to you."

Draco smirked, holding out a silver chest.

Blaise stared at it, "Draco?"

"Open it you git." Draco snorted.

Blaise opened the chest to find two sets of Claiming bracelets, "Draco!" this was an expensive gift.

"I had extra protection added to them. The first set bears the Prewett Crest and the second can bear the Zabini chest when you decide it." Draco chuckled pleased with his gift.

Severus cleared his throat, "I…took the liberty of this."

Remus gently carried the crate to the newly Bonded couple.

Blaise lifted the lid and blinked, "Potions?"

Severus nodded, "Every possible potion you might need to treat any number of ailments and needs."

Molly Weasley stared, that gift alone was at least 40 Galleons…

Remus held out a brown paper wrapped package containing a rare and very old book on Transfiguration, "Here."

Blaise stared at it, "Slytherin's Cauldron!"

Charlie chuckled Blaise was a unique one…

Hermione dropped a gift bag in Blaisé's lap, "Enjoy."

Blaise opened the gift to find knitted blankets in the colors of Blaise and Charlie's favorite Quidditch teams and bearing their mascots. "How?"

Hermione shrugged, "Grandmum already taught me to knit the Muggle way years ago. It didn't take long to master the Wizard way. It took me a zillion dropped stitches before I got the hand of it."

Viktor who had had the pleasure of escorting the phenomenon he had the pleasure of courting was awestruck. He's received her scarf but those blankets were amazing…

Fleur gifted the young half-Veela a journal by the last male Veela to be born into her mother's flock. "I zhought zhat yoo might enjouy zhat. It might 'elp yoo to learn about yourself."

Bill shifted nervously, "I hadn't a clue what to get you so…I asked Fleur's mother." He stiffly held out his gift.

Charlie took it, "a guide to raising Veela chicks?"

Blaise blushed, "I suppose instincts aren't everything…" he glanced from the eggs besides him and Fleur's, "I hope our chicks get along…"

Harry giggled, "Of course they'll be. Bill is your brother now and they'll both be Veela."

Draco kissed his cheek, "I'm sure they will."

Oliver chuckled, "I can't wait to see what Percy and I are having."

Molly's jaw dropped, "Percy? Pregnant? Oh…" her boys were getting pregnant before they were legally bonded…how embarrassing.

Oliver squeezed Percy's hand, "Yes, it came as a shock since he never knowing took the potion and I certainly didn't give it to him."

"My baby was raped. You should have done more to protect him. I knew his seeing you're a bad idea." Molly moaned.

Percy glared, "I was more certainly NOT raped! This is Oliver's baby; I know it with my entire being. Expected or not, this baby will be loved and raised by the both of us."

"Some Head Boy you are."

Harry's eyes narrowed, "I will not tolerate you besmirching my friends and ruining their Bonding. "Silencio."

Draco kissed his neck, "Good for you." He'd have cursed Ron into next year if he'd tried anything. No one insulted a Malfoy and got away with it…

Harry grinned and let Draco hold him, "mmm…"

Charlie kissed Blaise deeply.

"Charlie, what's it like to be a bonded man?" Oliver asked.

Charlie smirked, "you tell me when you are one."

Draco wondered when he could entice his adorable, protected Adder to bond with him?

Viktor was already wondering similar thought…

George really was happy for them but a little jealous too. Then he got such a subconscious feeling of peace and leaned against Fred…

Molly loved her children but seeing this behavior from her boys made her more then a little disgusted. She turned to usher her youngest out and away from this sea of iniquity.

Remus turned to Arthur, "What's the chance that that she knows that Fabian and Gideon were gay?"

Arthur chuckled, "Slim."

George yelped, "what?"

"They had lovers. I think one was on the Quidditch team with them. They had a one at a time policy but they did enjoy spreading their favors around. They were part of a close knit group of bent wizards in Hogwarts in our day…"

Severus glared at Remus, "How do you know?"

"I never joined in if that's what you mean. I was holding out for you." Remus chuckled "besides, I didn't have time in school for a relationship." Between his studies, Quidditch, moontime, Marauders and prefect duties he hadn't a spare moment.

Would wonders never cease?

XoooooX

Two Days later….

Oliver's parents insisted on planning and hosting his bonding for which Percy was eternally grateful.

Blaise and Draco weren't letting Percy out until they were sure he was perfect.

Harry sat on a chair swinging his legs, "Are you really truly going to have a baby Percy?"

Percy nodded, "It seems so." He was happy, he was going to be Bonded to his beloved Ollie and they were expecting a child. This baby though unexpected was wanted and loved very much.

"But…you're not like Blaise. How can you have a baby?" Harry asked curious.

Percy blushed, "Well, when Ollie and I were talking about it, it would require the right potion. We were going to ask Professor Snape to brew it for us when we decided which one to use."

Harry frowned, "But you're a boy like me right? People like Hermione and Blaise are built to have babies…"

Draco chuckled, "Do you know what a Cesarean is?"

Harry shook his head, "No…"

"It's where the baby is removed surgically…" Draco said gently.

Harry stiffened, "then it hurts?"

Blaise said quietly, "Having a baby does hurt…but in the end it's worth it right? Seeing a new life that you helped create?" laying his eggs had been painful but holding them made it worth it, he couldn't wait to see them hatch.

Percy rest his hand on his stomach, "Yes, surprise though this baby is, it was definitely made in love and that's what matters. If it hurts that's okay because I know as soon as I hold it that won't matter. I remember when Mum had Ron and Ginny, we could hear her screaming but when we heard them cry and then saw her none of that mattered. I was too little to remember Fred and George's birth but its okay."

Harry felt a little left out, Blaise was having a baby, Percy was too…and Fleur…he wondered if he could have a baby or did his abusive relatives hurt him too much for it. Would Draco be happy if he had a baby?

XoooooX

An hour later…

Oliver's mom said loudly to begin, "As those blessed with magic, we do not have a physical structure as the churches of our Muggle Kindred with whom we share this land. We create a Circle, which through our magic and blessing becomes our sacred Temple to the Elements. The Earth is the floor, the stars are the roofs, and all of Nature becomes our witnesses."

When Percy entered the room, her husband spoke, the future consort is ready, and all are seated, we sound the Mighty Conch Shell horn to summon the Four Directions and to welcome the Consort's Party, which is to be led by fairies. This Procession represents the journey of the Consort to be in meeting his Lord to be, it represents the finding of two souls after much searching. This is the last journey alone that the Consort to be will take."

Percy arrived and stood under an Arch created like a rainbow, the person who entered with him was a surprise to all. Lucius Malfoy was the chosen witness?

Draco whispered, "That's the Arch of 7 Blessings; purple to bless their souls, dark blue to bless their dreams; light blue to bless them with harmony; green to bless them with Love; yellow to bless them with strength and courage; orange to bless them with fertility; and red to bless them with passion and commitment."

Harry nodded, that was really nice of Oliver's parents…

Lord Wood standing in front of them faces the guests, "IN THE NAME OF THE MAGIC THAT UNITS US AS ONE PEOPLE AND THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE; IN THE NAMES OF THE MIGHTY ONES OF THE FOUR QUARTERS, THE RULERS OF THE ELEMENTS. BLESSED BE THIS TIME AND THIS PLACE, AND WE WHO ARE NOW GATHERED HERE IN THIS SACRED PLACE."

Lady Wood now turns; "WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF THE EARTH AND OF THE LIGHT. FOR THUS DO I BRING TO FLAME THESE SACRED CANDLES." She flicks her wand and they light. Oliver's mother continued, " FOR THE CONSORT AND LORD TO BE ARE IN LOVE AND WISH TO MAKE THEIR VOWS THE WAY OF THE ANCIENTS, AND AS THEY WISH NOT TO BE TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE BEINGS BUT AS ONE. AT THE OTHER, THE INTENTION IS MORE PERMANENT THAN 'TILL DEATH US DO PART' BECAUSE IT INVOLVES THE ANCIENT CONCEPT OF SOUL-MATES, A CONTINUING RELATIONSHIP THROUGH ALL SUBSEQUENT INCARNATIONS. THE SOUL-MATE CONCEPT IS A VERY ANCIENT AND SERIOUS ONE IN OUR THINKING WHERE IT IS REFLECTED IN THE BELIEFS OF OUR PEOPLE, WHERE IT IS SAID; "THAT TO FULFIL TRUE LOVE, YOU MUST RETURN AGAIN AT THE SAME TIME AND PLACE AS YOUR LOVED ONE, AND YOU MUST MEET AND KNOW AND REMEMBER AND LOVE THEM AGAIN."

Lord Wood smiled at his son, " KNOW THAT IT IS HERE THAT YOU BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY OF LIFE SHARED, BOUND TOGETHER BY THE VOWS OF THIS RITE. MANY ARE THE YEARS THAT YOU WILL SHARE, AND COUNTLESS THE MOONS TO WATCH. IF YOU KEEP YOUR VOWS, YOUR SACRED TRUST, HAPPY WILL BE MANY OF YOUR DAYS. MAY THE KEEPERS OF THE WINDS OF THE EAST WHISPER JOY INTO YOUR YOU TAKE DELIGHT IN EACH OTHERS SMILES FOR ALL YOUR DAYS UNTO PASSING. SHARE TOGETHER RAINBOWS AND DREAMS AND MORNING JOYS, AND LET YOUR LOVE BE AS FREE AS THE BUTTERFLY'S SACRED FLIGHT. MAY THE ELEMENT OF AIR BLESS YOUR MIND AND BLESS YOUR DREAMS AS A BONDED COUPLE, AND MAY YOUR PRAYERS BE BORN UPON THE RISING INCENSE SMOKE."

Wood continued, "ABOVE YOU ARE THE STARS AND BELOW YOU ARE THE STONES AND AS TIME PASSES REMEMBER THAT LIKE A STAR SHOULD YOUR LOVE BE CONSTANT, AND LIKE A STONE SHOULD YOUR LOVE BE FIRM. BE CLOSE, YET NOT TOO CLOSE.
POSSESS ONE ANOTHER, YET BE UNDERSTANDING. HAVE PATIENCE EACH WITH THE OTHER, FOR STORMS WILL COME, BUT THEY WILL GO QUICKLY.
BE FREE IN GIVING AFFECTION AND WARMTH, AND MAKE LOVE OFTEN.
AND ALWAYS BE SENSUOUS TO ONE ANOTHER. HAVE NO FEAR AND LET NOT THE WORDS OR WAYS OF THE UNENLIGHTENED GIVE YOU UNEASE, FOR YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE THIS DAY.
WHILE FORMS ARE DIVIDED, MAY THE SOULS CLING TOGETHER, SORROW WITH SORROW, JOY WITH JOY, AND LOVE WITH LOVE."

Lady Wood held out her hands in blessing, "BELOVED, I SEEK TO KNOW OF YOU, AND ASK THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE US THAT I BE GIVEN THE WISDOM TO SEE YOU AS YOU TRULY ARE, AND TO LOVE YOU AS A MYSTERY! I WILL TAKE JOY IN YOU; I DELIGHT IN THE TASTE OF YOU. YOU ARE TO ME THE WHISPERING OF THE TIDES, THE SEDUCTION OF SUMMERS HEAT. YOU ARE MY FRIEND, YOU ARE MY LOVER. GROW OLD AND WISE WITH ME, AND I'LL THE SAME WITH YOU. A LIFE BEFORE US OF RAINBOWS AND SUNSETS, AND A WILLINGNESS TO SHARE THOSE THINGS OF SADNESS, I LOVE YOU, I ADORE YOU. I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU, AND BEYOND THAT IF I MAY!"

Oliver then breaks the bread and feeds Percy, showing that he will support his bondmate always.

Percy then takes the Chalice of Wine and shares with him, showing he is giving himself to him.

Oliver's mother smiled, "Now for the Ancient Binding Ceremony, in our House the custom is that while facing each other, the couple place their right hands together and then their left hands together to form an infinity symbol, whilst a Cord is tied around their hands in a knot." She raised her wand, "BY KNOT OF ONE THE SPELLS BEGUN," a silver cord bound them, "BY KNOT OF TWO IT BINDS THE TWO," a light blue, "BY KNOT OF THREE ALL TRUTH SHALL BE," then a dark blue, "BY KNOT OF FOUR IT OPENS LOVE'S DOOR," green, "BY KNOT OF FIVE COMBINED YOUR ALIVE," the next was red, "BY KNOT OF SIX YOUR SOULS I MIX," a purple cord tied them together "BY KNOT OF SEVEN AS NOW SO IN THE BEYOND," an orange cord, "BY KNOT OF EIGHT YOU HAVE SEALED YOUR FATE," then yellow tied them, "BY KNOT OF NINE SEALED LOVE BY DIVINE WINE." and the final cord was gold.

Lord Wood asked, "Are there rings?"

Charlie and Lucius nodded.

Oliver's father gestured for them to step forward, the witnesses slipped the rings onto Oliver and Percy's fingers joined hands.

" BY THE EXCHANGE OF THESE TOKENS OF YOUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER, SO ARE YOUR LIVES INTERLACED. WHAT ONE EXPERIENCES, SO SHALL THE OTHER; AS HONESTY AND LOVE BUILD, SO WILL YOUR BOND STRENGTHEN AND GROW. THE CIRCLE IS A PERFECT FIGURE, WITHOUT BEGINNING, WITHOUT END, WITH NO AREA OF WEAKNESS. IT IS A SYMBOL OF THE CYCLE OF LIFE, BIRTH, DEATH AND REBIRTH. THIS SHALL SERVE AS A PHYSICAL REMINDER OF YOUR VOWS, AND THAT ALL THINGS BEGIN AND END AND BEGIN AGAIN, AS THE ANCIENTS SO DECREE. THESE RINGS SHALL SERVE TO REMIND YOU THAT LIFE GOES ON, THAT THESE MOMENTS PASS. WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN ANGER OR IN SADNESS, LOOK TO YOUR HAND, AND REMEMBER THAT THE WHEEL TURNS FOREVER ONWARD, AND IT IS LOVE THAT TURNS THE WHEEL.

ONTO EACH OTHERS HAND YOU NOW PLACE A RING, THE CIRCLE SYMBOLISING THE WHEEL OF LIFE THAT TURNS EVER ONWARD. THERE IS A LESSON IN BOTH THE HAND AND THE WEDDING RING. THE RING IS WORN ON THE FOURTH FINGER; IN NUMEROLOGY, THE NUMBER 4 STANDS FOR STEADINESS AND ENDURANCE. THE CIRCLE ITSELF IS ALL-ENCOMPASSING AND INCLUSIVE. YOUR HAND OPENS TO RECEIVE AND TO GIVE, CLENCHES IN FRUSTRATION AND ANGER, HOLDS AND SOOTHES IN TIMES OF SADNESS, AND CLUTCHES IN FEAR. WITH THIS HAND ARE CITIES AND SAND CASTLES MADE, MUSIC PLAYED AND POETRY WRITTEN; INTO THESE HANDS IS LIFE GIVEN, AND FROM THESE HANDS IS IT TAKEN.

ALL THE ACTIONS OF YOUR HAND MOVE IN SYMPATHISTIC RHYTHM WITH THE WHEEL OF LIFE AND WITH YOUR DESTINY. PLEASURE, PAIN, CREATION, DESTRUCTION,, GIVING AND RECEIVING ARE ALL WITHIN THE POWER OF YOUR HAND. AS THE RING SYMBOLISES THE CYCLE, SO DOES THE HAND SYMBOLISE THE POWER OF ACTUALISATION AND CREATION. LET THIS RING REMIND YOU OF THE MANY TURNS OF THE WHEEL
THROUGH WHICH YOU AND YOUR LOVE SHALL PASS, AND MAY EVERYTHING THAT IS TOUCHED BY YOUR HAND BE TOUCHED ALSO BY LOVE. SO MOTE IT BE!"

Lord Wood raised a Sword as if in Blessing.

Draco whispered, "That must be the Wood Family's Ceremonial Wedding Sword."

Harry was in awe at the Ceremony, "This is really nice…"

Draco smiled at him, now he had an idea what sort of Bounding Harry wanted…

Lord Wood then laid the sword at their feet; Oliver picks his pregnant lover up and carries him over the Sword.

"This is to represent the severing of the past and the stepping into the future together as one."

His wife smiled, "No I shall bless them once more," sprinkling Rose Petals over their wrists.

"LOVE ONE Another, BUT MAKE NOT A BOND OF LOVE, LET IT BE A MOVING SEA BETWEEN THE SHORES OF YOUR SOULS. FILL EACH OTHER CUP, BUT DRINK NOT FROM ONE CUP, GIVE ONE ANOTHER OF YOUR BREAD, BUT EAT NOT FROM THE SAME LOAF. SING AND DANCE TOGETHIS AND JOYOUS, BUT LET EACH OF YOU BE ALONE. EVEN AS THE STRINGS OF A LUTE ARE ALONE, THOUGH THEY QUIVER WITH THE SAME MUSIC; GIVE YOUR HEARTS, BUT NOT INTO EACH OTHERS KEEPING. FOR ONLY THE HAND OF LIFE CAN CONTAIN YOUR HEARST. STAND TOGETHER, YET NOT TOO NEAR TOGETHER, FOR THE PILLARS OF A TEMPLE STAND APART, AND THE OAK AND CYPRESS GROW NOT IN EACH OTHER'S SHADOW."

"Now the Bonding contract,"

Lucius stepped forward with the Bonding contract, while he and Charlie held out quills.

Oliver and Percy signed the contract, magic leapt from the parchment entwining around their wrists with silver and gold chains before sinking into their veins

Oliver's father held out his wand as Lucius sealed the scroll, " May I introduce for the first time Oliver Daniel and Percival Elias Wood, "Let us bless the couple…"

"As it is written…so let it be…" the chorus was taken up with raised wands that showered the couple with gold and sliver sparks.

Ron and Ginny refused to come but Molly brought them anyway, she couldn't leave them home. Percy was ruining his entire life, pregnant unbonded? What was he a teenage girl? Where did she go wrong? Why did no one see this was a problem?

There were many gifts…

Lucius smirked, "I'm granting you a week vacation now. A two week Honeymoon to the Bahamas after the Tournament and the Quidditch season is over and four months of paternity leave."

Percy was floored and staggered, "Lord Malfoy?"

"Be quiet. You're earned it." Lucius chuckled.

Oliver's father grinned, "I have here, the deed to the house his grandmother left him and the key to his first vault as a Bonded man."

Oliver nodded blushing.

Severus and Remus came forward with their gift, "My first gift is, I ascertained the exact potion responsible for your pregnancy and I have brewed a number of useful potions to help. I would be willing to brew more later if needed and, with your permission I can see if the baby is willing to give you a gift."

Oliver stammered, "A gift? From our baby?"

Draco yelled, "Tell them what they're expecting so we can sent them gifts for the nursery!"

Percy hid his face in his hands in embarrassment.

Severus smirked as he cast the proper charm, "it seems that the Wood line will continue, they're expecting a son."

Oliver pulled Percy's hands from his face and kissed him deeply.

Charlie whistled, "Good going Oliver!"

Ron growled, Molly looked faint and Ginny looked at Harry with longing, she wanted his baby…

Arthur hugged his brilliant son, "Congratulations."

Janie Wood kissed Percy's cheek, "Welcome to the family, I had a feeling it would be a boy." She levitated a large box.

Percy unwrapped it to find a cradle with a teddy bear on it, "Janie…"

She laughed, "You'll need one soon won't you?"

The Golden Trio stepped forward.

Angelina grinned, "We all pitched in and made this,"

They held out their gift.

Oliver opened it to find, a book. He gained a confused countenance until he opened it to find pictures of them at Hogwarts. He blinked, "Girls?"

Katie spoke up, "we had to get some from Mr. and Mrs. Wood, Charlie, Bill and the twins but this is what we collected of your Hogwarts years."

"Don't forget Colin," Alicia interrupted, "he had a few good ones, including the Awarding of the Quidditch Cup."

Percy blushed.

Oliver smirked, "that was a great memory."

Harry ran up dragging heavy box, "Here Percy. Draco said you really like this subject."

Percy opened it to find a rare Rune dictionary, "Harry…" he hugged the still tiny boy.

Harry blushed, "You're a really nice person, I'm glad you are happy."

Oliver ruffled Harry's hair; "I'm hoping you'll come fly with me."

Viktor chuckled, "I'm hoping to fly against Harry again someday. Preferably at the next Quidditch World Cup."

Hermione handed them a bag, "For all three of you."

Percy opened the bag to find two scarves, baby sweaters, mittens and booties. "Hermione?"

Hermione grinned, "Well it's not like I need to study. Homework is easy."

Charlie hugged Blaise gently, "I've never seen Percy so happy."

Harry was nestled in Draco's arms, the older boy looked down at his lover, his unruly thatch of black hair and those startling eyes made him beyond beautiful.

Harry smiled up at Draco, "they look really happy," he glanced at his papa and his dad, he hoped they would be just as happy.

Draco kissed his hair, "You're cute."

Harry blushed, "Dray…"

Draco was planning on a bonding sometime next year and seeing how much Harry liked this gave him an idea for theirs in the future…

Exceeds Expectations? Outstanding? Troll? What do you think? sorry it took so long...
