Chapter Four - Priorities and Unsolved Mistakes

'Hello, son,' James said with a casual smile on his face while Harry struggled to sat on his bare ass, hide his body with a sheet and at the same time, try to conceal Hermione's nakedness.

'D-dad? Mum?' he asked in disbelief as he remained with wild eyes to look at their semi-transparent forms in the corner of the room.

'It's us, Harry, someone is using the Stone and brought us back.' Lily tries to explain with her calming voice having a tiny echo. Harry couldn't believe his ears as he was seeing his parents in the same way he had seen them years ago for mare moments before he thought he'd face his end.

'Uhm… can you… can you turn around for a moment please?' Hermione's voice was heard from the bed's side and Harry looked down at the scarlet red cheeks of his very alive best friend who remained naked on the floor. Harry's eye was caught by the silver band around her wedding ring finger before he could check his own and find a matching one.

Oh Boy…

James and Lily sniggered as they turned their backs to the younger couple and Harry thought for a moment how stupid it was to ask for two actual ghosts to turn around and not look at them when they were supposedly always with them, he shuddered at the thought, his nakedness in bed with his best friend who seemed very married to him, started to sink in.

He helped Hermione stand up, stood up himself, blushed even more as they stumbled nakedly on each other until they could reach for their scattered clothes and put them on as quickly as possible. Hermione twisted her hair up in a bun and only then noticed the ring on her finger, a fresh panic attack rising.

'Ok, you can turn around now,' Harry said and his parents obeyed and smiled at Hermione as well.

'Hello, dear,' Lily said again and Hermione felt mortified as much as she panicked. Harry's parents were at the same bedroom with her and their son right after the first night of their marriage.

Her mind went blank as she realized about ten more things at the same time considering the marriage. She was left speechless for a few moments, not having processed at all the fact of the Potter's presence by the stone.

'Do you know who uses the stone? We must stop them, this is not right for any of us,' Harry asked his parents and they both shook their heads, their smiles fading and actual concern painting their semi-transparent features.

'We do not know, we can only control to who we are visible and to who we are not, but we do not know who is using the stone, you see a Hallow is not bound to its holder, only to the spirits it brings back.' Lily explained to her boy and her eyes were filled with longing.

'We know it's not right and we need to stop whoever it is the soonest but we also must admit that we missed you, Harry.' This time James said and Harry smiled at his parents as the last time he had seen them he had believed it was the last. The temptation had always been there but he had hoped he had known better, than that someone for some reason –certainly not out of concern or compassion- were using the stone, it was hard for him to even allow himself adjust to their presence in the tiniest, but still it felt great to see them again.

'We should inform the ministry of this, Kingsley will be able to help.' Harry finally said and this time looked at Hermione whose lips had remained silent and eyes were still wide.

'Hermione?' he asked and the young brunette looked at him with worry.

'The ministry will soon contact us, do not worry about it…' she said and as if on cue, there was a tapping on the window of a huge owl. Harry rushed to the window to open it while Hermione flopped on the bed and hid her face in her hands as the owl flew in the room, dropped a large envelope and then left as quickly as possible.

'Oh my God….' Hermione whispered as she glanced at the letter, Harry wasn't sure what to do while the Potters watched unable to interfere in the physical world.

The letter remained still on a table that had landed until it squirmed, shook and then hovered in the air on it own, the folds of the paper creating an almost human mouth that started talking formally.

'Dear Mr. Harry James Potter and Mrs. Hermione Jane Potter –nee Granger

The ministry for magic would like to congratulate you for your recent wedlock and to inform you of the following new legal and economic issues that have been established since Mr. Harry James Potter is owner of vaults in Gringorts Bank with no deposit limit.

Although the wedding ceremony took place in Muggle Grounds and outside the United Kingdom, the marriage is therefore valid.

It will be required of the spouses to visit the British ministry within twenty working days and apply the new information of establishment required by the International Database of Domestic Affairs of the Wizarding and Muggle Communities.

The new status of Mrs. Potter's vault is therefore shared with Mr. Potter's vaults (the #1294 Black family Vault and #1027 Potter Family Vault) and the missus has access to half the fortune of Mr. Potter because of the lack of prenuptial agreement signed and applied to the Ministry's Archive.

The #3086 Granger Hermione Vault is therefore allowed to be modified by Mr. Harry James Potter and the money transferred to it will be accounted in the taxation for the ministry according Mr. Potter's fortune and combined properties both in the Wizarding and the Muggle world.

The official announcement of the wedlock will be published in the social column of the Evening Prophet of the present day as to be formally announced like every other social event that possibly concerns legal issues with third parties or individuals.

The properties of Grimmauld Place No12 and Diagon Alley No6 are therefore accounted as shared property of the spouses and it will be required to have both parties signing up for their taxation in common as both properties are active according the Control of Magical Activity Records of the Ministry.

Sincerely

Caddice Brown
Head of the Wizengamot Administration Services

'Oh God, oh God, oh God,' was the only thing heard and came from Hermione's lips who had her head still buried in her hands. The letter stopped for a moment, leaving them all frozen until it moved in the air and started talking again.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter

The Improper Use of Magic Office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement detected the improper use of magic in the presence of a muggle via the use of the Apparition Technique at 4AM GMT-8 Las Vegas USA and demands the presence of both accused individuals in the Minister's Oval Office on Tuesday morning at 8 AM for the hearing appointed under the Legal Immunity Control for War Heroes, Veterans and Survivors, before the Minister himself. The deficiency of your presence in the appointed hearing will activate the warrant of arrest for improper use of magic in the presence of a muggle, violation of International Apparition Law in the United States and authority opposition.

Sincerely

Agatha Moore
Head of the Improper Use of Magic Office

Harry's mind was racing as he hadn't only married Hermione, he had actually violated International law and soon, all of it would be plastered with huge letters on the Prophet as people like Skitter wouldn't let it go like this in the small column of standard social events of the community. Hermione was still holding her head with her hands and he knew she was the only who would be well read enough to answer his questions.

'How is it possible for a fake Vegas wedding that is not valid outside Vegas to be valid for our community?' he asked as he rubbed his hangover face and moved closer to Hermione, leaving the shock of seeing his parents aside for the new one of his marriage to no one else but the woman he wanted by his side for years, only not under such circumstances, and he just didn't want to consider the fact of last night's literal climax.

Hermione raised her head for a moment and looked at him. They were actually married, under a warrant and soon required to show their faces to the very well informed world of their marriage. She couldn't allow the panic at the thought of last night's bed activities, she was living a nightmare and she didn't want to lose her best friend, that was all she cared about.

'The Wizarding community law accepts every marriage of any kind, religious rites and social classes, it was a law passed in the mid eighteenth century after the first collapse of the blood status marriages around the Wizarding world.' Hermione replied with her voice trembling from the shock.

'And what about that database?' Harry asked and Hermione sighed.

'Since… I'm your-wife.' She said, still not believing he words she was uttering. 'We must apply for a place of residence in common and our combined income, some answers… about possible offspring and other legal crap we must fix.' Hermione said and Harry looked at her as if she had grown a second head.

'We can't just cancel the marriage? Take a divorce?' he wondered and for a moment he felt guilt at the flash of hurt on Hermione's eyes before she could stand up and pace the room, moving away from him and turning her back at the room. He hadn't meant it in a bad way, in any way actually, he was just curious as he had never researched the domestic laws of the ministry, or any other part of the system laws for that matter.

'Wizarding marriages are to be changed or canceled until the 7th hour after the signing of the contracts and then are to be revoked after the 77th day from the signing of the contract, it's all about spells and symbolisms that have to do with fertility, good fortune and power in the binding of the couple through marriage.' Hermione explained and felt another stab of pain at Harry's momentary widening of his eyes that she could see through the mirror on the wall of the room.

"Well we're certain Hermione will do nothing in these days to compromise your fortune, Harry, she's not a gold digger like sweet old Fangirl of yours.' James said to lighten the mood but got ghostly-elbowed and glared by Lily while he got the attention of the younger couple.

'Who do you mean?' Hermione asked out of curiosity before Harry could ask the same thing but Lily shook her head.

'No one, James is joking,' Lily said curtly for the first time while James only shrugged and smiled sheepishly at his wife and the alive people of the room. 'Well look, yes right now you're both worried and confused and panicked and you'll need time to work this out but James and I first and then with Remus, Sirius and Albus have been watching over you for years and we know you'll make it.

'However we need to focus on who is using the stone to have the two of us here.' Lily said, trying to gain control of the situation and the younger couple decided to listen to the redhead woman than deal with their issues for the moment.

'You have been summoned by the minister for the hearing of improper apparition, Kingsley is a good man who loves you both and I'm sure he'll understand so when he's done scolding at you, it'll be a good time to explain to him. James and I will appear to him to make a point. As much as we appreciate our time with you this is not normal and whoever causing this, knows Harry well enough to use us like this.' Lily said and both Harry and Hermione nodded at the seriousness of the matter.

'Truth is, as much as we love you, Harry, we wish for you to keep coming to our graves and leave flowers like you do so frequently with Hermione than have the power of the Hallow corrupting you, every moment is precious in this case.' Lily added and this time Harry and Hermione looked at each other and nodded.

'We will find a way for the marriage,' Harry added to his mother's words, confirming the need to deal with their mistakes, no matter how much it hurt to call this… unfortunate action an actual mistake, maybe everything was happening for a reason.

'But first we must figure out who stole the stone and why they're using it.' Hermione added her own part, always completing Harry's words, even now that she wanted to scream at him and herself and protect their friendship no matter how much it hurt to actually cancel the marriage to her best friend and possibly the only marriage she would ever have…. With the only person she'd ever wished to be married to.

They were married, and there were so many unsolved issues between them that had nothing to do with a stupid illegal apparition or stuff about their vaults. They had to figure out everything about what they had done, what it meant to them, to each other, their friendship and their lives and what they'd do for the next seventy six days that they were officially married and bound to each other along what everyone –including their very jealous and still claiming of Hermione, best friend– would say about the previous night.

The seventy seven day long honeymoon was on and it looked like Hell already…

ooook i love it when i mess with wizrding laws since there is nothing certain about them in canon world so i can do whatever i like... so we have our babies married and bound to each other for the next chapters... and someone is using the stone to have the potters right there, the diagon alley no6 property is supposed to be Florish and Blotts that we'll see in future chapters and i hope you all liked the ideas i brought to the chapter, we still have to see reactions when they go back to england and the dynamics of the new and the old potters... we'll get to see again oldie characters and learn more about the existing ones (yep, for the ones who asked, Luna will be back, you know i love her) and we'll have more of everything, just wait until the love birds get to reach the ministry and then have each other talking about the happy event of the Elvis marriage... sssooo what you think, guys? was it worth the wait? i didn't want hysterical reactions as both hhr are sensible people and not scremaing lunatics like ron who would have destroyed the room and ran for the hills... what you think?

review is love and motivation and rainbows and unicorns, give me some!
