Bill Weasley, eldest son of Arthur and Molly Weasley stood in front of the double bed where his sister was laying with the boy who lived, Harry Potter. His first response was to pull them apart, but he changed his mind and looked at the situation again. Both Ginny and Harry were fully dressed, Ginny was crying and Harry was unresponsive. Three things were wrong with this picture.
One: Ginny normally never cried, or not in public. She only cried in her own room.
Two: Ginny had her arms around Harry, while she normally started to blush at the mere mention of the boy who lived.
Three: If Harry was unresponsive, why was Ginny still speaking softly to him?
Shaking his head, Bill left the hospital wing. The cute Veela girl was charming, but Bill was not interested at the moment. Just like all curse breakers at Gringotts, Bill went through a very strict course, specially designed for humans who wanted to become curse breakers for Gringotts. One of those courses was Occlumency, the art of 'hiding' memories. It also was very useful for keeping your emotions in check. So Bill was able to withstand the allure of the Veela in the hospital wing of Pacific Academy.
Pacific Academy. Bill still couldn't believe it. The school of legends. It was all real.
When Bill was young and had started to read in the library of Hogwarts, he once came upon the name 'Pacific Academy'. It was supposed to be a school for children with special abilities, like having power over water. Bill always thought that it was a legend, and the next day he wanted to read more about it, but couldn't find the book. "We have no fictional works here, mister Weasley" had madam Pince once said. She then chased him out of the library. Since that moment, Bill had known that there was something wrong at Hogwarts, but who would believe him, a little first year?
Moving down the stairs, Bill looked outside. The view of Pacific always made him stand still to admire it.
"Bill? Bill Weasley?" A voice said. Bill knew that voice. He knew it well enough. But it couldn't be? "Richie?" Bill asked as he turned around. There, in almost the same outfit as Bill, stood one of Bill's friends. Richie Apple had been a trainee curse breaker in Bill's class when he started, but soon discovered that Richie's talent lay more in the warding department. Still even after the transfer from Curse Breaking to Warding, Bill and Richie remained in contact. Untill Bill was sent out and Richie was sent somewhere else. The two men hugged each other manly. "Man Richie" Said Bill. "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same question" said Richie as he looked at Bill. Bill nodded. "Well, I've got a couple of weeks off to meet the family. I was hoping to get them to come to Egypt to see some of the tombs I've been working on."
"Haha, I would expect nothing less from you, man. So why are you here?" Asked Richie as he and Bill walked to the great hall. Bill sighed. "I'm here because my sister is here. Something was wrong with her and some situation got out of control. I found out that Ginny has been in contact with a dark object for the last eight or nine months, before said object was destroyed by Harry Potter. Then she is expelled by the board of weak willed fools of Hogwarts, before she comes here and some Shaman found out that she is carrying residual marks of this dark object on her soul. So during a double soul cleaning ritual, the Shaman was disturbed and connected my sister to the boy who lived." Said Bill as he took a new deep breath. The subject was still sore to him, and he hoped against hope that Ginny would come out alright.
"Man, that's hard. How are your parents coping?" Asked Richie as he led Bill to the staff table. "I don't know. Dad seemed quite worried about the entire situation. It's Mum that I find hard to understand. I know that she likes to pretend that there is nothing wrong in her life and that we all are having respectable jobs, but she writes me almost weekly, trying to change my mind to 'come and join the ministry'. I mean, what skills do I have that the ministry could use, beside my cursebreaking skills and my dueling skills?"
"Well, you could be an auror there" said Richie as he sat down, next to Bill. "Thanks mate." Bill said laughing. "No, the auror office is not my path. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but the budget for the british auror office has been cut for the sixth year running. Someone is making it so that the British Isles are easily conquered. And I don't like the sound of that." Said Bill as he looked at Richie.
"But what do you here, Richie? I mean, you are not the wardmaster of this castle, are you?" Asked Bill. Now Richie was laughing. "No mate. I only provide the wards in our curse breaking class."
"You? An assistant teacher?" Asked Bill as he looked at his friend in new respect. "Yeah. I'll let you have a go at it. We train our students to break both curses and wards. But we call the class simply Curse Breaking, as it sounds cooler. We fall under the Defence Against The Dark Arts classes" Said Richie and as he and Bill started to eat, Bill continued with the questions that he had.
Molly Weasley and Arthur Weasley were escorted through Pacific Academy to the hospital wing. Professors Summers and Flamel had caught Molly Weasley trying to contact Albus Dumbledore, and had permanently blocked any floo calls that were non necessary. "Mrs Weasley and Mr Weasley. I understand that this must be hard for you, but you must remain calm for both Harry's wellbeing and your daughter's wellbeing. We cannot have you running around, screaming bloody murder etc." Said Alexandra as she walked with the two parents. "Both Hermione Granger's parents and the temporary guardian of Luna Lovegood have given permission to go forth with this ritual"
At the word 'ritual' Molly started to swell. Her memory playing the ritual that Ginny underwent to remove the last soul remnants of Tom Riddle, and suddenly being connected with her soul to Harry Potter, The boy who lived. Molly knew enough that she needed to call Dumbledore and inform him of these events. That's why she tried to call Dumbledore with the floo. She failed and she promised to behave, for it was the fear of professor Alexandra Summers that held her in check. Said professor was walking behind her. Molly still remembered how she was badly beaten in a duel between Alex and herself. Being forced to take bed-rest for two weeks was not funny, and now she had a slight addiction to Skele-gro.
"We're here" Said Alexandra as she opened the doors to the hospital wing. The seven people entered the hospital wing, and nodding to the headmistress, Richie pulled Bill away from the main body and sat down after preforming a strong ward shield. "That's to protect the souls interacting with each other" Said Alexandra as she and her brother placed the Weasley's in chairs. The chairs were prepared with a sticking charm, so that neither parents could interfere. Bill's chair wasn't equipped with a sticking charm, as Bill knew the dangers of interfering with a ritual concerning the souls.
From the shadows Deputy Headmistress Gabriella Unguis stepped forward, holding a large book of unknown origin in her hands. Standing for the ward shield, she started to chant in an ancient language, that neither Bill, Molly or Arthur could understand. Alexandra, Alex, Richie and Perenelle Flamel were able to understand it as it was Ancient Atlantic that Gabriella was chanting. While chanting, Gabriella stepped through the ward shield, as if it wasn't there. Bill looked at Richie, and silently asked him if his ward had failed. Richie shook his head and pointed to Gabriella, who was now standing in front of Harry and Ginny's bed.
The bed where Harry and Ginny were laying in was double as wide as the other two on the right and left side. On Ginny's side lay Luna Lovegood, who had received permission from her temporary guardian, Professor Lupin to continue with the ritual, binding her soul to that of Ginny and Harry, in order to help Harry to recover himself from the attack that, the now dead Stephan Whiterspoon caused. On the side of Harry lay Hermione Granger. While her parents had at first protested, they eventually gave their blessing for Hermione to aid Harry´s recovery. Hermione´s parents were not comfortable with the choise that they were given. Either let Hermione proceed in the official soul-bond formation, or let Harry, and by extension Ginny die.
Gabriella Unguis had started to chant a different language, and now all viewers could understand it. The ancient magic of the Latin words were slowly forcing the souls of Harry, Ginny, Luna and Hermione to show themselves in distinct colours. Harry´s was still gold with white spots, while Ginny´s sould was still bright red with some white spots. They also had a part of their own souls switched, as Bill could see that a piece of Ginny´s red soul was with Harry and Vice versa.
Luna´s soul was a Tropical green colour, while Hermione had a sky blue colour.
As Gabriella still chanted with the same latin words to show the souls and colours, Nicolas Flamel came in view with his own large book. He started to chant Indian magic, as he was asking the souls to reunite and form a symbol of their unity.
The soul of Ginny and Luna reacted first, and twisted around each other. It seemed like Luna was creating a loop with Ginny´s soul, who was also creating a loop, and while Ginny's soul pulled Harry's with her, Hermione's soul still remained where it was, floating above it's host.
Then Nicolas started to chant an other language. With the Greek words, spoken with power, Hermione's soul started to move and replaced Harry's soul as it held on to Ginny's soul. Hermione's other end of the soul started to move as well, searching out for the other end of Luna's soul.
Harry's soul floated around, creating a circle intertwining around the three loops of the souls of Ginny, Hermione and Luna.
As Bill looked on, he started to understand the symbol that the souls were forming. A Triquetra, A Trinity Knot, with Harry as their binder as his soul snaked around all three souls.
Ginny's soul was represented in her red colour at the top, with Luna's soul pointing down at an angle of 120 degrees. Luna's green circle was connected with both Hermione and Ginny's, and Hermione's soul was pointed at 240 degrees. Her soul, Sky blue seemed to shine with an inner fire. Harry snaked around the girls souls, binding them together. At the end of the chant of both Nicolas Flamel and Deputy Gabriella Unguis, they started to chant again with the same language of before, as she slowly lowered the souls back into their bodies, forming the Triquentra bond, with Ginny pointing North, Luna pointing South East, and Hermione pointing South West.
Gabriella stepped away from the bonded children and turned around before she nodded to Richie, who removed his wardshield. Nodding to the headmistress, Gabriella returned to the shadows and vanished. Removing the sticking charms from the chairs Both Arthur ad Molly were escorted away to let the children rest, quickly followed by Richie and Bill Weasley. "We need to make several agreements between you as Ginny's parents, Professor Lupin as Luna's guardian, Hermione Grangers parents and the Flamels as harry's guardians. Please follow me" Said Alexandra as she led them to one of the many meeting rooms that the castle was rich with.
Rowena looked on in wonder. Not two weeks ago was it that Victor, the biggest Stallion of Pacific had gotten wings, and survived the first twenty one hours, now she was looking at the three Pegasus foals as they were surrounded in bright white light, maturing them before her eyes.
Victor must have noticed, as he broke free from his stable and ran around the now mature Pegasus mares. "Things don't get any weirder" Said Rowena as she saw four saddles appear like magic itself. One red, one blue, one green and one gold. Shaking her head, Rowena continued to work, while keeping a eye on the three fully mature mares and Victor, the winged Unicorn.
