Chapter 17 The Weasley's, bequests, the expected bond, Veela love, and Harry panics

31st December 1997, Safehouse Order of the Phoenix, Northern Wales

Everyone was enjoying their mothers or in Arthur's case his wife's cooking. Molly was happy she could cook and make meals for her large family, she made a large lunch with multiple warm meals and some cold sandwiches.

When everyone was done Bill was wondering what his father has planned to avoid suspicion. Arthur stood up and said "Molly dear that was wonderful. I am so stuffed I need to lie down."

Molly walked to Arthur kissed him and said "okay dear. Do I come by later with some tea?"

Arthur smiled and said, "that would be wonderful dear."

Bill looked his father in his eyes and quickly shook his head. Arthur continued "but you don't have to. I will drink some tea later."

Molly eyes Arthur but said, "okay dear if you are sure."

Arthur looked at Ginny and said, "Ginny I think you need to take a nap, you seem tired."

Ginny wanted to refuse when Arthur gave a different look and a quick wink that got Ginny curious and agreed. "Okay daddy I am a little bit tired, I think a nap would be a good idea."

Bill thought 'really this excuse? It was so simple but so effective because Ron wouldn't care and everybody else wouldn't need dad or Ginny in the meantime while mom would be busy in the kitchen and the living room cleaning what already was clean. It was her way of coping with the war and not knowing how Percy was doing.'

Arthur went upstairs immediately followed by Ginny and Bill saw Crookshanks also follow behind Ginny. Bill said, "I need to go."

Molly said, "oh Bill but you just go here why don't you stay the night I was planning to make your favourite."

Bill was tempted but not very much. He likes how his mother made his favourite food but he missed Fleur already and he was here for a reason. He said, "I am sorry mom but I can't."

He stood up and walked towards the stairs and said "I am going to say bye to dad and Ginny before I go. I got Portkey so you probably don't see me leave."

Charlie said, "wait, Bill, I will walk up with you." Bill wanted to refuse but he decided it would be a good idea to have someone know what is going on. Bill nodded and walked upstairs.

Before Bill could go to the bedroom he was pushed inside the study by Charlie.

31st December 1997, the study from the safe house of the Order, Northern Wales

Charlie said "tell me, Bill, what is really going on. I saw shook to dad and the wink he gave to Ginny."

Bill sighed he thought nobody noticed but he should have known Charlie would have as dragon keeper and dragonologist notices the small things. Bill sighed and said "I can't tell you much but mom cannot know.'

Charlie nodded, he knew if Bill was holding something back it was important. If he trusted anyone besides his father it would be Bill.

Bill said "I need to take dad and Ginny to Gringotts. I got a Portkey for it and it is important for dad, Ginny, and the family."

Charlie said, "wait a minute."

Charlie left and came back a few minutes later with the twins, Alicia, Angelina and Verity as she started to like most of the family and was here because of the twins as she is a muggleborn.

Alicia said "what are we doing here Charlie? Angelina and I just want to get to our room like we told your mother. And I think the twins and Verity are the same."

Verity nods while the twins just shrug.

Charlie said, "tell them, Bill, you could use our help."

Bill looked and saw that all the eyes were on him. Bill said "I cannot tell much but I need to take dad and Ginny immediately to Gringotts without mom finding out. King Ragnok ordered that only Ginny and Dad could come. Mom would keep badgering us until we agreed she could come along or we wouldn't go. I need to know Mom won't find out."

The twins said with a smile and in unison "we can keep her busy for you."

Fred said, "just tell us."

George ended "how much time."

In unison, they said, "you need."

Alicia and Angelina rolled their eyes but Angelina said: "we will help too."

Verity said "I will too help too. It is the least I can do."

Molly didn't want Verity along but the twins convinced dad and he got Molly to reluctantly agree. The twins found their selves responsible for her as she was their only employee and the shop was the reason she didn't flee England while she could.

Bill said, "thanks, I think we mostly need mom to not check in on Ginny as she would let dad sleep if he wanted like he said he wants even though he isn't going to do it."

All nodded and the George "we will keep our mother." Fred continued "busy for now."

Angelina, Alicia, and Verity went to their room when Bill first went to what looked like his parents' bedroom and walked with his father to Ginny's bedroom.

When Bill and Arthur stood at the door opening Ginny was sitting on her bed petting Crookshanks instil her normal clothes. She looked at them and said, "will one of you tell me what is going on?"

Bill said "I was ordered by King Ragnok to take you both to Gringotts but only you and dad. We all know Mom would want you to go without her and will badgering us to we agreed to take them along or we wouldn't go."

Ginny nodded grabbed Crookshanks and put him on his bed. Crookshanks didn't like it and jumped to the ground before he rubbed his head against her legs.

Ginny pet him before she said, "let's go."

Bill said "I got a Portkey so mom doesn't see us. Ginny could you grab Crookshanks, I think he wants to join us."

Ginny was thinking before she smiled happily and grabbed Crookshanks who was still pushing his head against her legs affectionately. She thought 'Crookshanks is Hermione's part cat part kneazle. If Bill asks to bring him would probably mean that Hermione is in Gringotts and if Hermione is there so is Harry.'

Bill said, "grab the Portkey."

When he saw that Ginny and his father had put their hand on it he said "Gringotts" and they all felt the pull from the Portkey.

31st December 1997, Portkey room, Gringotts

Only a few seconds later they were standing in a room with many goblin guards. Bill walked towards a guard closely followed by Arthur and Ginny and said: "I am here with Mr. Weasley and Miss Weasley requested by King Ragnok."

The guard nodded before he said, "welcome back William I was expecting you earlier."

Bill said, "I wished I could but unfortunately I was delayed."

The guard said, "that is no problem."

He barked something in Gobbledegook and a runner immediately ran away to the hospital wing. The guard said something in Gobbledegook and four guards went around the Weasley's and a fifth one went in front of them and said: "please follow me quickly."

The Weasleys nodded and they all left the room following the guard.

31st December 1997, Bonecrusher's Office, Gringotts

The Weasleys were granted entrance by two guards standing by the door. The guard they followed said, "take a seat and wait here."

They all nodded and the guard offered them something to drink. Arthur asked for tea while Ginny asked for a butterbeer but also some water for Crookshanks who wanted to escape Ginny's arm as he smelled Hermione 'close by' and Bill declined as he was actually still working.

A few minutes later the door leading deeper into Gringotts opened and Bill stood up as did Arthur who pulled Ginny up with him.

King Ragnok and account manager Bonecrusher came in, the Weasley's bowed and didn't sit down before King Ragnok and Bonecrusher took their seat while the guards took a place around the room.

Bill said, "King Ragnok I am sorry it took some time but to avoid my mother from coming or knowing I need to wait until after lunch before my father could make an excuse for him and Ginny to come here."

Ragnok said, "that is okay William we expected something like this and that is why we didn't put a time limit on the Portkey as we did on Madam Andromeda's Black Portkey."

Bill asked, "is she already back?"

Ragnok nodded "yes and she had Lord and Lady Longbottom with her when she came back, unfortunately, she was hurt but she was healed and is resting right now."

Bill let out a relieved sighed, Fleur and he talked a bit with Andromeda and liked her, but he was also relieved for Harry. Harry would hate himself if his favour would have killed her.

Ragnok looked at Arthur and said "welcome Mr. Weasely. I am like William said King Ragnok and the goblin beside me is Account Manager Bonecrusher. We are here because we need you to accept the bequest that has been made to you and your family including the bequests for Miss Weasley. I have also requested your present for something that involves your daughter and there is something you need to know about your youngest son and wife."

Arthur said "what do you mean King Ragnok? What is there I don't know about Ron and Molly."

Bill said when he noticed King Ragnok look "King Ragnok if I told my father we wouldn't have been able to leave without my mother noticing and I couldn't make myself tell my father as it is not an easy topic to talk about casually."

Arthur was panicking when Bill finished, Ginny heard everything but was looking around the large office while Crookshanks was still struggling to get free.

Arthur asked panicking "what do you mean Bill?"

Ragnok said, "what William obviously didn't want to say is indeed a difficult topic and we will talk about it later."

Bonecrusher was looking in the desk drawers and pulled out a couple of documents. He looked through them a pulled out a couple. He placed them on the desk and said something in Gobbledegook when Ragnok didn't say anything.

Ragnok said "Mr. Weasley these are the bequests from two wills. One of the wills has been read in the last couple of days and the other one was read about a year and a half ago. The bequests have been given when but as you were not present for the will we have to hold on to the bequests."

Bonecrusher waved his hand and four keys and two deeds appeared on the table when Bonecrusher immediately grabbed one key and put it in his robes. Ragnok looks and Bonecrusher said in Gobbledegook something that Bill understands. That key was for the first Lady Potter as they haven't gotten the time yet to give it to Hermione.

Ragnok said "William the deeds are for you, one if for the house you own after your marriage. With the deed, you got a couple of acres you can use how you want. With the money, you can even expand the house or rebuilt it and if you give us the job you get a discount, but that is for after the war. The second deed is for the manor on the southeast coast of France. I think Miss Delacour would be delighted."

William grabbed the deeds and put them in his pocket from his robe. Ragnok now grabbed a key and said: "Mr. Weasley this key is for your second oldest Charles Weasley as we opened a vault which was filled with 12,500 Galleons and the books he got are also in the vault."

Ragnok passed the key to Arthur and he said: "I hope you can give it to your son."

Arthur was shocked but managed to nod. Ginny was getting nervous she felt the pull again what was pulling her was inside Gringotts. She couldn't tell what, where or who is the pull but she felt when she saw it the would feel extreme happiness that reminded her of when she was with Harry but more especially the first spontaneously kiss in the Gryffindor Common Room although all the other kisses were also good.

Ragnok grabbed one of the other keys and said: "Miss Weasley this is your key for your vault that is under your father's name for now until you are of age, engaged or married depending on what comes first."

Ragnok and Bonecrusher suppressed their smile because they knew before this meeting was over the chance that she was married was almost 100%. Ginny looked as did Arthur.

Ginny asked "vault? I don't have a vault and even if I have a vault I wouldn't have enough money for a vault. I only have a couple of Sickles barely enough for half a Galleon."

Ragnok said "Bonecrusher?"

Bonecrusher said, "Miss Weasley's vault under her father's name contains 10,000 Galleons and one item as a surprise for her." Bonecrusher grabbed one parchment and continued "also giving to her is a tab for 100 Galleons for clothing by Madam Malkins. We are allowed to change 20 Galleons from the tab to pounds to get some muggle clothing, it says so on the tab that only goblins, the person that made it (or the heir) and the person it is for can see."

Arthur was even more shocked and couldn't comprehend. Charlie and Ginny were the richest of the family and Bill got the biggest house from his family. Ragnok looked at Arthur again and said "Mr. Weasley as you haven't claimed your bequests we as the Goblin of Gringotts have put up a disillusionment charm on a part of your vault. You can not decline the bequests that were specially ordered to us by the deceased. Mr. Weasley, you were giving 30,000 Galleons and all the muggle things the deceased had. The deceased left you a letter and the other will gave you 50,000 Galleons."

Mr. Weasey was even more shocked when he heard that his family suddenly got 80,000 Galleons which made them probably richer than the average wealthy most noble (and/ or 'most' ancient) houses (a/n #1). Mr. Weasley managed to ask the question "who gave us that?"

Ragnok gave what looked like a smile and said "Sirius Black, the late Lord Black."

Mr. Weasley sighed "so that is why you want to talk to me? Sirius Black at the time was an escaped prisoner but he was never convicted and was even exonerated after his death."

Ragnok said "we know Mr. Weasley but as late Lord Black was an escaped prisoner he wasn't convicted so when he entered here during Christmas in 1993, he gained the Lordship for house Black as his father never disowned and disinherit him as his mother wanted. Believe me, if he was convicted for the crime he was accused of he would have been executed the moment he stepped in Gringotts but we had common sense enough to know Lord Black would never betray Ha- Lord Potter's parents."

Ginny said "Lord Potter? So Harry was here where is he? Where he is, is Hermione maybe their here, she will know. Can I see her or if Harry is here?"

Ginny wanted to talk more but was silenced by Bill who put a hand on her shoulder and over her mouth. Bill said 'Sorry King Ragnok for the interruption from my little sister."

Ragnok winked over a captain and whispered something in the ear and the captain went to the door and returned almost immediately. Ragnok smiled as did Bonecrusher if you could understand the look.

Ragnok said nothing for a minute until Ginny looked calmed down before saying "no matter William, I as did Bonecrusher expected this kind of reaction and I must say she is sharp. I guess that the cat in your arms has some connection to La- Miss Granger."

Ginny managed to nod and said "I am sorry King Ragnok for me interrupting you and yes this cat is a part cat and part kneazle. It is Hermione's pet like Hedwig is … was Harry's."

Ragnok said something in Gobbledegook and a guard left returning almost a full minute later with a tray full of different drinks. Bill grabbed a cup of water while Arthur grabbed a tea and Ginny took a bottle of butterbeer.

Ragnok said "Mr. Weasley. There or other bequests for your family but all the others are above age and already have a vault in Gringotts here if needed.

Arthur nodded but before Arthur could say anything Ragnok continued "now Mr. Weasley the biggest reason I asked William to bring you here has something to do with that has happened 7 generations ago. It is a marriage contract for the first girl born to the Weasley family. The contract is unbreakable and needs to be completed as soon as possible. Mr. Weasley as you got a daughter the contract must be completed."

Arthur was in shock. Molly tried to get Ginny into a marriage contract with Harry and tried to push them together even though he said she shouldn't intervene, but she still did it. However, she didn't do anything outrageous or mental to his knowledge. He didn't sign the marriage contract and convinced Harry's father to also not do it as he wanted his daughter to have the choice to find her own boyfriend, fiancée and eventually husband. Now the choice was taken from her and he could do nothing about it. Normally there is a way out like paying or giving something to the person and then you can back out without severe consequences like losing your magic or suffering something similar like extreme pain. Arthur thought but then tough 'wait, thanks to the bequests I could pay this person 80,000 Galleons.'

Ginny was in shock and getting mad, but wasn't lashing out because she was still holding Crookshanks. Crookshanks felt her getting angry and tried to smooth her by stopping struggling and pushing his head against her affectionally which helped. The anger disappeared which was quickly replaced by sadness and despair, she loved Harry and now she hears that there is a contract with a wizard she probably never met or many years older otherwise the person would have sought her out or let her father know. She started to feel tears well up but her willpower to not let them fall and feeling Crookshanks softly meowing and showing support by pushing his head into her prevented the tears from falling.

Bill was shocked at first but he didn't show it. He remembered that Ragnok has said before that Ginny will be Lady Potter so the contract was probably between house Weasley and House Potter. The only male from House Potter is Harry so Ginny is contracted to marry Harry.

Ragnok and Bonecrusher didn't say anything for several minutes to let the Weasleys think. Ragnok and Bonecrusher were also waiting for the runner to return from the hospital wing.

Mr. Weasley found his voice back and asked: "Can I not pay this wizard or family 80,000 Galleons to disband or cancel the marriage contract?"

Ragnok said "as I said it is unbreakable however if the wizard accepts that instead of Miss Weasley it is possible and the consequences would be severely decreased. However, I don't think your daughter or the wizard want any consequences to happen to them how decreased it may be, but I also think the wizard doesn't want 80,000 Galleons, but if Miss Weasley married the wizard there is something important for your family Mr. Weasley to be returned."

Ginny wanted to scream out that she didn't want this but she didn't want to lash out against the Goblin King and Crookshanks was helping her not lash out.

After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door and a guard went to the door before returning and whisper something to the captain. The captain whispered it to Ragnok but loud enough for Bonecrusher to hear. Ragnok said, "it seems that your future husband has arrived Miss Weasley."

Ginny was glaring at Ragnok reminding Ragnok the most of Lily Potter. Like she was right in front of him when he told her James was able to get another wife for the Potter line and need to get a wife for the Peverell line after Narcissa wasn't an option anymore. Ragnok would never admit it but the glare from Lilly Potter and now Ginny Weasley scared the living hell out of him and Ragnok saw Bonecrusher shudder almost unnoticeable. Ragnok looked at Bonecrusher and whispered in Gobbledegook if he was afraid of the glare from Ginny. Bonecrusher nodded and whisper in Gobbledegook that he was scared and was the same as Lily.

After that Ragnok said in English "let him enter."

The captain nodded while looking at the guard who opened the door. The guard bowed and went back to the door to open it. Right before the door opened Ginny's glare went to the door to let her future husband know she wasn't happy and should better accept the 80,000 Galleons her father wanted to give. However, the moment the goblin stepped aside and the wizard stepped in she squealed and dropped Crookshanks who landed on his legs.

She sat there shocked, this can't be the contract was from the Potter family, but why didn't Harry tell her before and was that why her mother pushed them together. She knew her mother did that she was nowhere as dense as some of her brothers are, especially Ron.

Harry saw Ginny and said, "Hey Gin."

Ragnok smiled as did Bonecrusher. Ragnok said in Gobbledegook and the runner responded. Ragnok sounded mad and sent him to the hospital wing again.

Ginny smiled the only one she allowed to call her Gin was Harry and here he was unhurt and he was her future husband. Harry walked towards the Weasleys and said: "Hello to you Mr. Weasley."

Arthur was also shocked but managed to stand up and put his arms around Harry to hug Harry and said "Harry thank Merlin's beard you are alright. We were so worried when Hermione apparate you and Ron away."

Harry felt getting angrier when Arthur said, Ron. Harry said "yes Mr. Weasley Hermione managed to get us to London and from there we spend some time at Grimmauld Place before we needed to leave. I hope the information I gave you helped."

Arthur said "what information Harry?"

Harry thought 'why didn't Mr. Weasley know? Oh yes, I drank a Polyjuice potion.'

Harry said "it was at the ministry on 2nd September. I drank the Polyjuice potion. I impersonated Albert Runcorn."

Arthur said, "so it was you in the elevator saying my family was being watched?"

Harry nodded grimly and Arthur hugged him and said "thank you, Harry. It was very helpful to ensure our safety for the chance order members came by."

Ginny managed to not say anything but after her father hugged him she stood up and hugged him. She wanted to kiss him but he pulled away before she could. Harry feels something between his legs and sees Crookshanks pushing his head against his legs affectionally. He bends down and petted Crookshanks what made Crookshanks purr a bit and he said to Crookshanks "Hermione is so happy to see you I just know it."

When Harry stood up and looked at Ginny. He saw that Ginny was hurt because he didn't kiss her. He wanted to say something when Ragnok said: "Harry I know you are happy to see her but you need to sign this as does Mr. Weasley and Miss Weasley."

Arthur had already a quill in his hand because Bill said he needed to sign. Harry wanted to say stop but couldn't when Ginny grabbed his head again and just when Arthur was done signing Ginny forcibly kissed Harry. Even though Ginny forced him Harry still loved her and poured all his feelings into the kiss as did Ginny. A light appeared so bright everybody including the goblins needed to protect their eyes or they would be blind for days to come if not forever.

When the light disappeared after at least three full minutes Harry was on the chair with Ginny in his lap, but nobody saw them moving because of the light. Ragnok and Bonecrusher looked at the parchment and saw that besides Arthur's signature was both Harry's and what appeared to be Ginny's signature. Ragnok said something to the captain and he sends two guards to do what Ragnok asked.

They didn't know if they signed it when the light was there and did it while snogging or that magic put their signature there as they were married now with the consent of Arthur. Arthur and Bill looked uncomfortable at Ginny in Harry's lap while Ragnok and Bonecrusher grabbed the ancestry parchment from Harry out of one of the desk drawers and saw that Ginny's name now was Ginevra Molly Potter neé Weasley and just as visible as Hermione's and Luna's name, but also noticed that Katie's name was a bit more visible than before.

Harry and Ginny continued snogging when there was a knock on the door that neither Harry nor Ginny noticed. One guard answered and it appeared the runner has returned with a group of people. Ragnok heard what the runner said because everyone was quiet as even Ragnok and Bonecrusher were getting uncomfortable with Ginny and Harry still snogging. Ragnok said in Gobbledegook to let them enter.

Before the group came Hermione, Katie, and Luna heard a voice, not from Harry or their own but sounded a lot like Ginny.

When the group came in they all looked shocked when everybody heard Hermione scream "Crookshanks."

The cat heard his name and springs into the arms of his owner. When Hermione hugged Crookshanks she felt something she never felt before as she could feel his happiness of seeing her again.

She screams and made Harry and Ginny stop snogging. Harry looks past Ginny and paled as he sees all the girls including Remus. Ginny looks around and sees Hermione and Luna. Her smile widened, even more, if that was possible and reluctantly get off Harry's lap and rushed to Hermione and Luna hugging them, but Hermione only gets a small hug because she still had Crookshanks in her arms.

Hermione "so Harry told you and you don't mind?"

Ginny looks confused at Hermione and said, "what did Harry need to tell me?"

Hermione looked at Harry and said, "you didn't tell her?"

Harry looks afraid and said, "uhhh …. I didn't come up?"

Harry immediately used his Occlumency so the girls couldn't feel his feelings or could hear his mind.

Luna gave him a dreamy smile while Hermione was looking with an incredible look on her face. The other girls decided to stay quiet but Astoria only was because her sister gave her a look she should not intervene.

However, before Hermione could say anything there was a knock on the door that leads to the main hall and one of the guards on that side opened but didn't say anything and just stepped aside. Fleur came in followed by her parents whom Ginny, Hermione, Luna, Harry, Remus and of course Bill know. After Fleur's parents, Gabrielle walked in. Gabby looks around and when she saw Harry, she screamed "Harry" before shuddering and falling to the ground.

Gabrielle looked around the room red from blushing but when she saw Harry all the dreams and hopeful memories hit her and that made her orgasm. Veela's orgasm before their mate as soon as they see them. Fleur had it 'a small' one when she saw Bill or at least smaller than Gabrielle's. Fleur managed to stay up but barely and she needed the rest of the day to calm down and focus on the third task. It was difficult for Fleur until her mother who noticed talked to her and managed to let Fleur focus on the third task by saying he would love her if she did her best in the third task and especially if she would win which she did not.

Antoine Delacour wasn't happy as Apolline told him if Harry Potter was Gabrielle's mate she would have a reaction when she sees Harry and he knew that when he heard Harry and saw her collapse especially as he looked at Apolline and she nodded. Antione loved both his daughters and even though he wasn't happy with Harry, he wouldn't keep them apart as that would hurt both but mostly Gabrielle as Veela's are the beings of lust unless they are lucky enough to find their mate then they are beings of love.

Hermione and Daphne researched Veelas in their fourth year when they learned Fleur was a Veela. Hermione and Daphne wondered what has happened, but they knew one thing by Gabrielle's reaction Harry is her mate. They learned that Veela's have a reaction when they meet their mate but there was no description of the reaction or if all Veela's react differently but the reaction was clearly there.

Hermione was afraid of the other girls but now she was terrified. She felt that she wasn't as pretty as the other girls but she had a chance to be as pretty as them or at least close to them if she tried but she knew she had no chance with a Veela that was almost as developed as she was even though she was almost 3 years younger than her.

Daphne wasn't as afraid as Hermione but she felt no way secure. Daphne knew she was pretty or better said beautiful but she felt threatened by the new girl that was a Veela mostly because she knew she was having trouble letting her ice-queen persona go. She was afraid that Harry would not like her, let stand love her.

All the other girls were like Daphne threatened. Luna knew what the future held so she just gave a dreamy smile, but Astoria and Katie were hugging Harry like he was their lifeline and they didn't want to let them go.

Remus smelled what happened but wisely said nothing as he knew what had just happened. His travels gave him experience and knowledge. He knows more about Veela than almost every witch or wizard in Britain.

Ginny saw Katie and Astoria hanging on to her Harry. She looked at Gabrielle and said, "hey Gabby."

Gabby managed to say "hey Ginny and … Luna and Hermione right?"

Luna nodded as did Hermione. Daphne was suddenly screamed, "really Potter another one and a Veela no less."

Susan laughed and Daphne asked, "what is so funny Susan?"

Susan said while still giggling "you said Potter again instead of Harry and not only that but look at his face he is terrified o- …"

Ginny interrupted Susan when Astoria and Katie didn't let Harry go and she shouted: "let go of my Harry."

Harry saw Ginny's glare and tried to get away from Astoria and Katie but they didn't let him go. Susan was still giggling and Su joined her in giggling while Daphne was still mad and was glaring at Gabrielle and Ginny, especially because 'Harry isn't only of you Ginevra, you need to share him if you want it or not' Daphne thought.

Hermione was still thinking about the chance she makes against Gabrielle and didn't listen to the others.

Astoria said, "he is mine too Ginevra."

Ginny hated being called by that almost just as much as Dora hated being called Nymphadora. If Ginny was a Metamorphmagus her hair would have turned even redder towards crimson like Susan's hair is.

Ginny shouted, "don't call me that and let go of MY HARRY."

The last shout shook Hermione from her thought and said without thinking "he isn't yours alone Ginny."

Ginny looked at Hermione and said, "what do you mean he is MY boyfriend."

Luna said with a smile "ex-boyfriend."

Ginny said, "that doesn't matter, we still love each other I feel it and we would restart our relationship together when the war is over."

Ragnok showed Bonecrusher the signed parchment and Bonecrusher show it to Bill. Bill had looked over the parchment and said: "Ginny that isn't possible."

Ginny had a look of anger on her face even when she looked at her favourite brother and asked: "why not?"

Bill had the parchment in his hand and said: "according to this parchment you are getting married to Harry as our house had a debt with house Potter and not only that but if we must believe the light you are already married in the eyes of magic and Gringotts."

Bill looked at Ragnok and Bonecrusher. Ginny also looked at them when Ragnok said: "William, your brother, is right Lady Potter."

Daphne shouted "you must be kidding me Po- Harry. We know about the marriage contract but still, I hope this is the last."

Luna said, "….. almost."

Daphne looks with an open mouth at Luna. "What do you mean?" Daphne asked.

Luna smiled and said, "there are more but not much but they have told Hermione say the Nargles and some haven't told anyone but some managed to hint at it but I don't know to who."

Daphne asked, "Hermione do you know who Luna talks about?"

Daphne wondered why she could easily call Luna Luna while she only knew her as Looney but had trouble with calling Harry Harry instead of Potter even though she barely spoke about him where she needed to call him Potter.

Hermione thinks and said, "Luna do you mean Parvati and Padma?"

Luna said "I don't know the Nargles told me you know. I like Padma she is nice just like Su and sometimes Lisa is nice too."

Daphne said, "what? Parvati and Padma like Harry but I thought they were friends but barely and certainly not more especially after the Yule Ball in our fourth year."

Hermione said "yes, you would be right if Harry wasn't Harry. Harry was so sorry he bought them flowers from their home country which probably wasn't cheap and he asked me what kind of presents they like. He gave Parvati a golden medallion I heard her and her sister talking about. Knowing Harry he probably bought two to give to them both. Padma got a book about old Asian runes if I remember correctly while Parvati got a book about divination as she really liked that class. After that, they more than forgave him if he would have one lunch with them in Hogsmeade."

Su asked, "when was that?"

Hermione asked, "when did he give the presents?"

Su nodded and Hermione thought back and he said "the present he gave them in the first or second week of January. I remember saying he wished he could give it earlier but between Christmas and New Year the shops he got the things from one was swamped and the other closed and don't get me started about the shop he got the Indian plants from."

Hermione continued "the lunch I remember when but I wasn't at that lunch. Parvati and Padma wanted it the first Hogsmeade weekend and that was in February. It was the weekend before Valentine's day and Harry just figured out the clue from the egg he used that as an excuse but promised that he would make them the very next Hogsmeade weekend that was in April and what I gather from it Parvati and Padma liked it. Harry wanted to ask Ron as he also needed to apologize but of course, he didn't come along because he said he didn't need to apologize after Padma accepted a dance from a Durmstrang student, but also because Parvati and Padma didn't want him to although they asked and wanted me to tell Harry that. Fortunately, before I told Harry Ron had already told me he wouldn't."

Su said "well that was why Padma looked like she was in love, but also that when we talked about Harry she had those lovesick eyes. That I didn't figure it out before even though I saw the plants, gold medallion and book."

Susan giggled "that is so Harry. He tried to apologize and unintentionally go overboard made the girls that were supposed to be mad at him fall for him if they weren't before."

Susan looks at Hermione and said "Parvati was and Padma didn't answer but when I asked her in our fifth year she did blush when I asked if she also likes Harry because Parvati did and hinted about Padma. I agree with you Susan Harry only tried to apologize. Now I am more than certain because of what you said, Su"

Harry didn't hear this as he still tried to get Katie and Astoria to let him go while Ginny was staring daggers at them. Harry was pleadingly looking at Remus but he shook his head before Harry looked at Bill but he was kept busy by Fleur that was snogging him like they have been months apart and not a couple of hours.

He managed to look at Gabrielle who was still shuddering but was kept standing by her parents who were rapidly talking in French as Harry didn't understand one thing except that he was certain he heard his name a couple of times nicely by Apolline and rather angrily or disappointedly by Antione. He even managed to see Apolline with a mad expression looking toward Antione.

Mr. Weasley was looking around amazed and when he saw Remus he walked towards him and start asking questions quietly that Remus answered unless it contains Harry and all the girls, Remus felt that Harry would be the first one to tell them.

During all this time nobody noticed a goblin walking that gave a message to Ragnok before leaving. Ragnok saw it and showed it to Bonecrusher not two minutes later the two guards came back with a box that was given to Ragnok.

After a few more minutes Harry managed to release himself from Astoria and Katie. Harry did the only thing he could when he felt crowded and went for the door to find a place where he could think, but as soon as was at the door he heard four people in his mind saying the exact same thing 'Harry please don't go' as all four saw his face when he went for the door. His face was full of panic, confusion, and terrified but most importantly guilt for the pain he probably caused but never wanted to do.

His Occlumency has unknowingly slipped and he couldn't refuse the voices. That all four said it together with the pleading in their voice he couldn't refuse.

Hermione added 'if WE tell Ginny and Gabrielle would you please stay here, you don't have to say anything if you don't want to. I am sure I can get Susan, Su and even Daphne to make sure no one grabs you if you don't want to probably Penny and Fay help too, but you can't walk away from this now."

Harry stood almost stunned in the door opening before he said "fine Hermione."

Luna was very close and grabbed his hand leading him back to his chair and went to sit on his lap. Hermione wanted to act but felt that Luna was helping Harry. Hermione suspected that was smoothing Harry in their mind making Harry lose the bad feelings and she swore she faintly hear Luna but she couldn't tell what Luna said, but Hermione saw and felt Harry relax a bit as Luna was taking his mind away from where he was.

Ginny didn't know what to think Harry has never run away from her even before they became good friends in his fourth year and now Luna one of her best girlfriends was in her (ex) boyfriend's lap where she was only a couple of minutes before.

Hermione whispers to Su, Susan, Daphne, Fay, and Penny "we need to tell what is happening. Harry is being preoccupied with Luna to calm him down and keep him calm."

Katie and Astoria wanted to argue but Astoria saw that Harry had a small smile he didn't have before and Katie felt Harry relaxing almost serene, she hated herself for not thinking about calming him instead of holding on to him when Ginny tried to claim him."

The other girls nodded at what Hermione said. Hermione says "I will begin so you know where to go from if you want to help to explain."

The other girls nodded again and Hermione said: "Ginny and Gabrielle we will tell you, but I think we can better let Luna take care of Harry so if you have a question you can ask them us."

Ginny was nodding as she trusted Hermione and she needed answers while Gabrielle just smiles as she already knew many things because of her sister Fleur.

Gabrielle said "Hermione you can call me Gabby as can you Ginny and Harry of course too, but maybe you can start to introduce everyone behind and besides that man that Mr. Weasley is talking to. I know he was at the wedding but I don't know his name."

Hermione said "sure Gabby. Ginny, I don't know if you know everyone here."

Ginny said, "I think so but if you going to introduce them or they introduce themselves it doesn't matter."

Hermione said, "I think they can better introduce themselves."

Susan steps forward and said "Hermione is right so I will start. I am Susan Amelia Bones, Hufflepuff, original in 7th year but didn't go to Hogwarts because my late aunt was Amelia Bones head of the DMLE and heiress to the most ancient and most noble house of Bones."

Su said, "I am Su Ai Li, heiress of the noble house of Li and 7th years Ravenclaw but I managed to escape from Hogwarts."

Daphne said, "I am Daphne Isabel Greengrass, 7th year, Slytherin and like Susan, I didn't go to Hogwarts even though I am in my 7th year."

Ginny narrowed her eyes not because she believed all Slytherin are bad but because she knew Daphne as the ice queen. Hermione saw that and said "Ginny don't. When you talk with Daphne get to know her and don't like her that is okay but don't make your decision on her past when you talk to her she would probably tell you why she acted as she acted."

Ginny nodded and Fay continued "I am Fay Dunbar. Gryffindor and also in my 7th year but I didn't go to Hogwarts because I am a muggleborn. All the muggleborns are being captured and all schooled muggleborns are killed and I am afraid muggleborn women get even worse faiths."

Penelope immediately continued "I am Penelope Clearwater but you can call me Penny. I was a Ravenclaw and I am also a muggleborn. I graduated from Hogwarts in 1994 and I am now 20 years old."

Katie said "I am Katie Victoria Po-" She saw Hermione shaking her head and Katie continued "Katie Victoria Bell, I graduated from Hogwarts last year so I am 18 years old, Gryffindor and I am also a muggleborn."

Astoria saw Hermione and Hermione gave her a look and Astoria nods saying "I am Astoria Ann Greengrass. Daphne is my sister, I am Slytherin and in my 5th year but just like Daphne I didn't go to Hogwarts and Daphne didn't say but we are pure-blood just like Susan and Su is a half-blood not that it matters."

Luna was still talking with Harry and Hermione said: "both know Luna of course." Gabby and Ginny nodded and Hermione continued "okay Gabby the man there that is Remus Lupin, he was our professor of defence against the dark arts in my third year and is Harry's 'honourably uncle'."

Hermione saw the nods from the other girls and knew that she needed to continue mostly for the shake of Harry. Hermione said, "okay I ask you to let me finish talking before you want to say something."

Gabby nodded happily while Ginny nodded reluctantly but she needed to know.

Let's stop here for now. I wanted to go to Potter Manor and finish Bellatrix's ritual but unfortunately, that was too much to put in this chapter. Next chapter Ginny will know what all the others already know including Gabby and Bellatrix's ritual will be done.

That brings me again to the questions. One, I got good names for the Potter ancestral Manor but I still ask for more names because some reviews or PMs were the same.

Two, one reader made me think about Bellatrix as part of Harry's harem and I am not convinced that is why I want the input of the readers. Yes or no on Bellatrix in Harry's harem.

If you decided yes the question continues with young Bellatrix or Bellatrix with her original age. If you choose, ask yourself the question do I want her to keep her 'bad' memories (including knowledge and abilities). Please let me know.

A/N #1 to gain the noble title you need to have a lot of money, get it as bequests like the Weasley wouldn't count. You can get the most noble house title if you got a large income for example by owning a company or having shares in companies (and sometimes if you have a large history you also get the most noble title). The ancient and most ancient titles you can have if you have a big history of the British isles. Malfoy, for example, plays big but there are only most noble as their history is largely in France.
