Corina invited the two up to her tower room, having given Harry warning. She knew that he liked to dawdle when it wasn't necessary for him to get dress, she still wondered how he ever got out of Grays.
Harry and Corina heard the two out.
"I personally have nothing to do, since its summer recess, but there is a small problem of how you are going to get there, Companion-back, we would make it in a few days, however, you have no Companions." Harry replies
"So far, I'm free. But I would have to check. However, with the signal towers, I'm cooling my heels at the Collegium, they won't let me ride circuit since they don't want something really tragic to happen to Harry via me." Corina replies.
Hermione tilted her head to the side, in confusion.
"There are only a few Heraldic Mages, so if something were to happen to Corina, I would follow just as I would follow Morgan." Harry explains
"So you mean if Corina was killed say in a bandit raid, you would follow the force of the shock of her death would kill you?" Draco questions
"Yes, lifebonded couples don't always outlive the other, if they do...its hard to open up those doors again." Harry replies "Also why Companions are beloved in the Kingdom too, and everyone knows that killing a Companion is treason."
"Its automatic death-sentence if the Companions of the Royal Family are murdered." Corina adds.
"I've been wondering something about the Companions." Hermione states looking at the fount of knowledge when it came to the Companions.
"Go on, catling." Harry replies
"Is it possible that a Companion can Choose someone, but not form a bond between them? Sylvia and I mindspeak each other even from Snape's manor." Hermione questions, looking unsure of herself right now. "She mentioned that she already knows who her Chosen is, but she's not willing to make the Choice."
"Uh.," Harry replies, as he mentally reached out for Morgan, the Companion settled into his mind.
: Yes, brother-in-soul?: Morgan questions
: Is it possible that Hermione is Chosen but not Chosen?: Harry questions
: Yes, she is and also Draco, he's changed, his spirit isn't broken and he's doing wonders, and Trevor has taken special notice of him. That is why they wanted to form a friendship first. They were willing to allow Draco and Hermione to adjust to Valdemar's lifestyle.: Morgan answers hesitantly. : The strain is beginning to wear on Sylvia, I say that she Choose Hermione now before she gives the rest of us a collective migraine:
Harry stood up, "I think I know of a way to solve Hermione's lack of transportation. But you have to trust me."
"Sure, I do." Hermione replies confused
"Then follow me." Harry replies
The two went to the Companions' stable, and met Morgan and Sylvia there, well more like Morgan was shoving Sylvia into the stable. Then blocking the way so the other Companion couldn't escape back into the Field.
Harry sensed that Morgan was conversing with the other Companion.
"Why is Sylvia here and why is Morgan bullying her?" Hermione asks confused
Sylvia sighed and nods. She took a few steps toward Hermione.
"Really look into Sylvia's eyes." Harry instructed
Hermione did so and fell into Sylvia's sapphire blue eyes. There was something happening, she felt the missing piece of the larger puzzle come to together.
: I Choose you, Hermione. Younger sister of my heart.: Sylvia states, forging the Herald-Companion Bond between them.
