Chapter 92: Witnesses and Warnings
Ginny couldn't sleep on the night of the second task, not only did Harry rescue her first and in style, he also said that tomorrow they were going to get married. Ginny wasn't the type of person who would complain and whine if she didn't have a fancy wedding, her mum would and Ron probably, but not Ginny. As long as it was with Harry she could get married in her room for all she cared.
She was ecstatic at the very idea but she was also curious, she knew she'd be considered of age after it happened but she also knew that Harry was holding out some information. It's clearly nothing bad or he would have told her but she did wonder what it could be.
She also wondered why he had invited the twins, she thought this was the type of thing they'd keep private, but then again she knew nothing about soul bonds. Her next thought went to if Harry wanted to consummate the marriage, while witches mature faster than muggles and have a younger legal age, that didn't mean she wanted to get pregnant.
Thankfully one of the only things that she learnt from her mother besides cleaning and being a housewife was the anti-pregnancy charm. Although, her mother has seven children, so she wasn't sure how well it would work and had a potion as well.
The next day after lunch Harry told Krum, Fleur and Ginny to follow him. He lead them to the room of requirement, upon entering Ginny saw a changing room on her right with a wide selection of bride dresses and a changing room on the left with a black suit of the chair next to it. At the end of the room was an alter and there were four seats in front of it. The room itself was massive, bigger than any church could ever be.
"What is happening?" Fleur asked
"Ok let me explain" Harry replied "this is a room that can change depending on the needs of the person who can access it, at first only the elves knew about it but I discovered it. I've made a few changes so only I can open it, please don't tell anyone about this room"
"Ok" Victor nodded "but why are we here?"
"I'm requesting your help with something important" Harry spoke slowly "I'd like you two to stand witnesses for me and Ginny while we perform a soul bond"
"WHAT?!" Fleur screamed, Victor seemed to have forgotten how to talk "Harry, you can't! That's illegal!"
"Why is it illegal?" Ginny asked
"For a lot of reasons" Harry smirked "the first being it will give us legal emancipation, the second being the abilities we gain. We'll be able to read each other's minds without effort, sense each other's emotions and teleport to each other. "
"Yeah" Ginny nodded
"Well those aren't the only things we gain" Harry smiled "if we soul bond then magic personally puts gives me permission to do whatever I want"
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked
"Ginny" Fleur spoke slowly "if you and Harry soul bond then due to the ancient laws of magic, as the man in the relationship, Harry is allowed to do whatever he wants if it means you'd be benefited in some way"
"To simplify, I could literally kill Malfoy for looking at you if I spun that it he make you uncomfortable or burn down Hogwarts if you got a bad grade and they couldn't legally charge me because I was doing it for you. Essentially I become able to do whatever I want without the ministry being able to say anything"
"That's vhy they're banned" Victor spoke up "millions of years ago, they were banned by all countries and they did their best to stop people from knowing or remembering them. I've heard of them through dark art books"
"As a Veela I'm also aware of them" Fleur responded "Harry, I mean no offence, but is it wise for someone as powerful as you to be freed from rules and restrictions?"
"None taken Fleur" Harry smiled "and I won't be, the ministry and schools rules maybe, but that's why I chose Ginny. Well one of the reasons, she's not afraid to put me in my place if she needs to, she'll stop me from going over to dark side. Besides, I don't plan on doing anything to a person unless they deserve it.
Britain's not like other countries, people here live in fear of death eaters who still haven't gotten over their fallen master. Who I might add is currently planning on resurrecting himself to his former glory, I've decided to give Dumbledore the 'leader of the light' one chance to put everything right. If he doesn't do it then I will, I can't save the wizarding world if I'm too busy worrying about corrupt politicians trying to lock me up because it would get their pockets a little fuller. If I have to take a vow to convince you I won't kill anyone who doesn't deserve it then I will but I ask you as fellow champions and friends to let me do this" A silence encased the room.
"Why us?" Fleur asked
"For a couple of reasons" Harry responded "while you two are of age and can be sent to Azkaban, I doubt the ministry would actually do anything to you guys. Victor is basically a national hero so I can imagine Bulgaria is not going to give him up without a fight and neither will that headmaster of his. As for you Fleur, your headmistress will have the same reaction as will your father, the French minister of magic.
