Happy reading!
9 December 31 1991
Jennie hummed as she whisked eggs and sugar, added cocoa and milk and lemon juice and whisked the mixture again before adding vanilla sugar and baking powder and whisking one final time. She then tipped the bowl and watched the dark paste flow down into the rectangular tin. Satisfied, she put it in the oven and turned to her guests.
"Anyone fancy a drink?"
Petunia Durlsey and Minerva McGonagall nodded and so Jennie poured them sparkling champagne in high glasses.
"Ladies, to a clear success in deceiving and protecting!" she declared aloud and the two other women cheered and the three of them toasted and drank and Jennie felt smug.
"So, it will work then?" asked Petunia and Minerva nodded; they had explained everything Petunia earlier and Jennie saw how grateful her friend was for not having to bear a burden that only saddened her.
"It'll be clear as crystal!" said Jennie happily and glanced at the small book Minerva had brought with her.
"Do we start now?" she asked and looked at the witch, who in turn looked at the clock and nodded.
"We do."
They moved into the living room, which had been decorated beyond recognition; drapes in red and black hung by the windows and obscured the room from insight; the furniture had been moved upstairs by Minerva, and candles glowed and glammed everywhere. In the middle of the rom, on the wooden floor, a circle had been drawn, and in it a star with five points and Minerva had explained the purpose of both the star and the circle as she had Jennie drawn the symbols; the star was ancient and magical in itself, and the circle was in this case for joining and showed off an ending and a beginning freely accepted.
Now, Jennie looked t the room and giggled.
"I like this". She said and grinned as Minerva smiled and Petunia managed a small smile back, even to the other blonde looked more scared than exited.
"It'll be alright", said Jennie assuring as she took Petunia's hand and made her sit down inside the circle, on the star, before she herself sat down.
"In this circle we are peaceful, strong and ancient. We give ourselves and ask in return for the ancient protection to be shared, just as strong as always, but now doubled", Minerva intoned and Jennie picked up a small silver knife, shared a looked with the witch and slashed her palm.
"I ask for the strength of blood; for its protection, and give mine in return."
Petunia took the knife and slashed her palm.
"I hear the pray, I accept the offer and I give my strength and protection of the blood."
They pressed their palms together, entwined their fingers and focused on the same goal and purpose; Harry's safety and happiness. Their hands turned hot and glowed a deep red.
"Sic itaque dictum est sic erit in perpetuum", declared Minerva, and the blonde women felt the same wave of happy energy and joy as they looked into each other's eyes and slowly let go of the others hand.
"That felt so good", mumbled Jennie in awe and watched Minerva return her living room to its usual state.
"I know", said Petunia, a look of the same awe Jennie felt on her face.
"Now remember; Harry will have to spend the first week with you Petunia, as well as the last", said Minerva as she flicked her wand one final time and made the drapes disappear.
"I know", replied Petunia and went on "I have to leave now, or Vernon will wonder where I am. Thanks you Jennie, Minerva."
And she did indeed leave, and muggle and witch stood alone in the darkening room, both very pleased with the outcome of the evening.
A/N: "Sic itaquedictum estsic eritin perpetuum" means "So it has been spoken, so it shall be forever"
