Dare You To Move

Chapter Two

The first time Sydney Potter witnessed someone meeting their soulmate, she was eleven, and her new friend Ron Weasley had met his soulmate in the form of one Seraphina Malfoy, the twin sister of her other best friend Draco Malfoy.

On their first day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Ron was approached by the Malfoy twins, and boy, was it a shock to find that the Malfoy daughter was the soulmate of the youngest Weasley son, and both from families who hated the other family with a passion.

However, it was the start of a beautiful friendship between Draco Malfoy and Sydney, as the two had bonded over the lovesick couple that was Ron and Sera. Despite being in separate houses and his father having a hatred for her, the two got along well, and when they added Hermione, Neville Longbottom and his soulmate, Luna Lovegood, to their little group, it was a gang that no-one wanted to mess with.

Then came the day that Voldemort had been risen, and sides were formed. But her friendship with Draco stayed strong, as did her friendship with Hermione, Neville and Luna. Ron had gone against her, believing that she was mad and Sera chose to believe her soulmate rather than her brother, and her closest friend. When it was revealed that Voldemort was indeed alive and terrorising the world, the couple was welcomed back, but the friendship had been strained. It wasn't until after the battle, after all the secrets had been revealed, Sydney knew who her true friends were. She hadn't spoken to Ron since the Battle, and Draco lost touch with his twin.

The second time Sydney witnessed a soulmate bonding, was when she was, Draco and Hermione were all on a mission in Budapest, tracking down rouge deatheaters. It was there she witnessed Hermione being saved by a muggle man dressed in suit wielding arrows, aka Clint Barton. It really was a meeting to remember, with Hermione bleeding from her forehead, talking nonsense to the agent. Clint must have been confused when he read the words of his soulmark, but it worked out in the end when he found out the magical secret. At their wedding a few months after their meeting, Draco was roped into being the man of honour with Sydney being the officiator. It had been five years since then, and they already had a daughter, with another one on the way. Hermione was determined to be a working mother, and she excelled at it.

The third time she witnessed a soulmate bonding was only recently as Draco had finally find his soulmate. Sydney was on week break from her Russian mission, when Draco accidently stumbled upon a clumsy witch named Astoria Greengrass in Diagon Alley, and was completely smitten with her. It was quite sickening to Sydney, listening to one of her closest friends' gush about his lady love. Apparently the two knew of each other at Hogwarts, but had yet to meet each other. They were set to marry each other in few months' time, with Hermione to be the officiator, and Sydney to be the best woman.

And now, Sydney finally knew just what her friends had been feeling when they had met their soulmates. Though, she didn't expect it to be the God of Thunder & Lightening, and a prince, of all bloody things. She wanted a normal soulmate, some boring muggle or wizard or witch (not that she minded if it was a male or female) but no, Lady Fate had other plans.

She stared into the deep blue eyes of the God, his face lighting up into a brilliant smile as he realised just what was going on. He was handsome, that she could admit, with a strong jawline, muscled body and an intoxicating smell. She was attracted, Merlin help her, to the God, but given the situation she was in, it really wasn't the best time for her to meet her soulmate. After all, there was the 'daddy' issue she had to work out.

"It seems fate has allowed me to meet my soulmate at last. I have been waiting for you for a long time, milady. And I am indeed a lucky man, to have a maiden so beautiful as my intended." Thor spoke, his accent rich and deep. She blushed and he blinked. "Should I have not said that? I only mean the truth, Lady Sydney. You are indeed very beautiful and I look forward to getting to know you."
