Second Time Love (Completed)

Chapter 6: The Wedding

Thursday afternoon found Hermione sitting in her parent's living room talking to Dobby the house elf.

"So if we could some how get one done properly by an elfin elder, we would be totally bonded, body, heart, mind, and soul?" she asked.

"Yes Miss Hermyninny, fully and totally for all time," Dobby answered,

"And has this ever been done on a human before?" Hermione asked trying to verify her research done over many years in her other life.

"Yes Miss Hermyninny, just the once that I knows of, and it was the great masters downfall, when his bonded one turned to the dark arts," Dobby said a very worried look on his face.

"The great Master Dobby, do you mean Merlin, it was the bonding that allowed that evil Morgana to defeat him?" Hermione was fascinated it seemed the very rare handwritten book she had found ten years before had been right, now all she had to do was to get the ceremony completed.

"Yes Miss Hermyninny," Dobby replied.

"So do you think you can you arrange it for two-o-clock on Saturday afternoon at Hogwarts?" Hermione asked the elf with a pleading look.

"Yes Miss Hermyninny, my great uncle is an elder, we'se will be at the great school as you ask," Dobby said still looking a little sad "Master Harry might suffer pain, I is not liking that, but if I is to help the great Harry Potter I is having to do it."

Hermione could not resist getting down on her knees and kissing the elf's cheeks, and giving him a huge hug "this will do more than free Harry it will help to defeat Voldemort too, so thank you so much."

Sirius looked up from his hunched position on the chair opposite Hermione, "I hope this works Hermione, I should hate to see the boy in pain and suffering for nothing."

"Has Dumbledore agreed to get us into the locked room," Hermione asked whilst not actually looking at the worried man, she was just as worried.

"Yes five-o-clock Saturday evening, but…" Sirius trailed off nodding his head slowly.

"I can assure you Sirius, there are just two ways to be sure that it is destroyed, I think I would rather see my Harry in pain for a while, than to have him die and hope he can come back from it again," Hermione said her voice showing more confidence than she felt "the first two ceremonies will weaken it's hold on him and the third one will rid him of it, and destroy it as well."

As soon as a rather red faced Dobby had left them, someone set of the ward alarms, Hermione followed by Sirius, moved faster than she had for quite some time as she rushed from the house ready to take on any Death Eaters that might have found them, running down the garden path Hermione slid to a halt as Harry and her dad were helping Tonks out of the hedge.

"We got it love, we get married at the local chapel at eleven on Saturday morning so we can start to send out our invites," a rather jubilant Harry said as he happily waved a Muggle form around.

"Sorry about the ward alarm," Tonks said as she finally got to her feet.

"She tripped over the step when she led us in," Mr Granger laughed.

With laughter ringing through the garden Hermione led Harry up to the house and then on up to her room, where she explained what was going to happen on Saturday. Harry spent a few minutes telling her how he had had to offer several bribes to the chapel officials to get all the paperwork done and have the usual six week wait while the bans were published, an old English Muggle custom, pushed down to just two days.
