"Albus, Prof. McGonagall, Lord and Lady Potter and Lord Malfoy what a pleasant surprise." Said Dionysus.
"It's been long Dion. How're you?" Asked Andrew and Abraxas.
"I'm good my Lords." Replied Dionysus.
"Psh. None of the Lords business. You're the son of our best friend. It's Andrew and Abraxas." Said both.
"Shall we continue the pleasantries inside?" Asked Albus gravely.
"Yes. Of course Albus. Come on in."said Dionysus and ushered them into the house.
Jean, Tyrion, Jennifer stood up as they walked in.
"Good Morning Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Lord and Lady Potter and Lord Malfoy." Said Tyrion.
"Lord Greengrass, Lady Greengrass, Mrs Greengrass," smiled Professor Dumbledore.
The rest nodded.
"Have a seat Professors, Lord and Lady Potter and Lord Malfoy." Said Tyrion.
"Right. So Jean in accordance to your letter, I've brought Lord and Lady Potter and Lord Malfoy with me."said Albus.
"What Hermione experienced last night was a soul bond. Let me tell you what happened. Last Evening Voldemort turned up at Godric's Hollow and tried to kill Harry. I'm sure you know who Harry is. According to a Prophecy Harry Potter is the one who will Kill Voldermort and end his reign once and for all. The exchange of Power yesterday was so great that the soul bond came to light early. Or it would've not shown up or might've shown up later in life."
"So what does this mean for Hermione?" Asked Dion.
"It means that Hermione is bound to Harry forevermore." Said Albus gravely.
Jean sat down with her head in her hands.
"Now what do we do?"asked Tyrion.
"Dion I have something to ask of you and Jean."said Albus.
"What is it Albus?"asked Dion.
"It is imperative that you return to Greengrass Manor. Jean you knew Lily Evans at school. Arrange play dates with her for Harry and Hermione..."said Albus.
"Oh so that's who married James Potter," laughed Jean.
"Yes. So you know what to do?" Asked Albus.
"Yes. But what does Lord Malfoy has to do with this?" Asked Dion.
"I'm guessing you know Abraxas's son?" Asked Minerva.
"Yes. Lucius Malfoy. The only Malfoy in Griffindor. What about him?" Asked Jennifer.
"Lucius's son, Draco will also be over there. That's why I brought it up. Also the Malfoy's are cousin's to the Potter's."said Albus.
"We get it Albus. Now can you explain to us about the bond?" Asked Jean.
"I, myself don't know about it much. So I got Andrew and Eveline here. The Potter's are all soul bonded. You might see some changes in Hermione."said Albus.
"So basically when a person is soul bonded, they can talk to each other telepathically, have the same patronus, can heal each other, are already emancipated, etc."said Andrew.
"Andy you're scaring them." Chided Eveline.
"Sorry. Just had to pull your leg. Anyway what I said was true apart from the emancipated thing. Both will have an unbelievable power which will grow exponentially. Oh and also this varies within families, all the Potter men have ended up with redheads. So it might be that mostly Hermione's hair might turn red. Not deep red or something. But a combination. It might cause her some pain." Just as Andrew said this, they heard Hermione cry a little. All turned to her to see what was once an uncontrollable mane of brown curly hair become a controllable mane of dark cherry red curly hair.
"Hey that looks like mom's hair!"exclaimed both Dion and Tyrion.
"Yeah that may happen."said Andrew while the rest shook their heads.
"Oh well. Dion's mother always said that Hermione looked a lot like her." Said Jean fondly.
"Well then we'll leave. Dion I expect an owl from you when you settle back into the Manor."said Albus.
"Offcourse Albus. We'll see you soon." Replied Dion.
Albus, Minerva, Andrew, Eveline and Abraxas got up and left.
The telltale crack of disapparating sounded not moments later.
"Let's get started on the packing shall we?" Dion asked Jean.
"Yes. Tyrion why don't you and Jennifer go and tell mom that we're moving back to Manor?" Said Jean.
"On our way."said Tyrion, as he and Jennifer walked out.
"Shall we get packing then?" Asked Dion, as he moved to get some boxes which they had when they switched houses.
Jean waved her wand in a complex motion and everything packed itself neatly in the boxes.
"Or we could do that,"said Dion.
"You were always good at that."he said fondly.
"I know right,"replied Jean with a smirk.
"Wonder what mom will think of Hermione's soul bond." Mused Dion.
"She won't think anything about it." Said Jean.
"Shall I call Daisy to collect our stuff?"asked Dion.
"Yes." Replied Jean.
"Daisy,"called out Dion.
A crack sounded. And a house elf appeared.
"You called Lord Dionysus?," Said the elf curtseying beautifully.
"Yes Daisy. Can you take the boxes back home? Jean, Hermione and I are moving back to the Manor." Said Dion.
"Yes Master." Said Daisy bowing and with a snap of her fingers the boxes and she disappeared.
"Shall we Mrs Greengrass?" Asked Dion holding out his arm.
"We shall Mr Greengrass,"said Jean, holding Hermione in one hand and grabbing Dion's other and they dissapparated.
They appeared in front of a gate. The gate opened and standing inside was a woman with hair the same shade of Hermione's.
She held her hands out for Hermione and Jean obliged.
She began cooing to her. Hermione gurgled in response. After she was satisfied, the woman turned to Dionysus and Jean.
"Well?" She asked.
"Uh?" Replied Dion.
"Are you here for good or just visiting?" She asked.
"For good mum. Let's go in we've got lots to tell you."said Jean.
"Don't cover for your husband Jean." She said.
"No mum I'm not covering for him. We do have a lot of things to tell you. You can scold him later on." Said Jean.
"Why don't you just throw me to the wolves?" Murmured Dion.
"Dionysus Andrew Greengrass. I heard that!" She exclaimed. Turning she called out "Mia?". Another elf appeared and curtesyed, "Mistress Lyanna called?".
"Prepare a feast, my son has come home."
"Yes Mistress," replied Mia.
The elf disappeared and Lyanna Greengrass turned to her son and daughter-in-law.
"Let's go in."
She walked ahead while Dion and Jean followed. Dion took the time to study his mother. Lyanna Greengrass had aged gracefully. Her dark cherry red hair had streaks of gold and white in them. But she hadn't lost any of her poise and grace.
She was wearing a dark emerald green dress and she was continuosly cooing to Hermione.
Once they reached the main door of the Manor, Dion and Jean both looked at it.
The Manor was 3 storied. Built of brown granite and had lots of defensive spells on it.
It was built by Dion's 5 times great grandfather and the Manor was taken care of by the current Lord and Lady of the Manor.
They entered the Manor and Lyanna led them to the living hall.
The living hall was as big as 2 apartments combined together. They sat down and Lyanna said," So what is it? What did you want to tell me?".
"Mum. Hermione is soul bonded to Harry Potter." Said Dion.
"I know that. Andrew contacted me about it. I've arranged a party tomorrow evening. The Potter's, Malfoy's and the rest are coming. You did know that Tyrion was acting as a guardian of the Lord of the Noble House of Greengrass?". Said Lyanna.
"No." Said both Jean and Dion.
"Your father had made it clear that you are the next Lord of the Noble House of Greengrass. So he made Tyrion the regent in case you didn't want it. So I insist that you and Jean go to Gringotts tomorrow and get it official." Said Lyanna.
" But mum.." said Dion.
"No buts. You are going and that's final." Said Lyanna in a firm tone.
