Saxon's POV

As I fled to Salazar's library, I could hear Speranza laughing but it soon turned to quite conversation between her and Cedric. Once I got into the library I grabbed one of the potions books before hiding in a corner. Not long after I started reading did I hear Cedric enter the library. Cedric wandered around a little bit before he came across my hiding place.
"Saxon? Are you alright?" He asked.
"No." I replied.
"What exactly did Speranza say to you?" He asked sitting beside me.
"She explained that she hadn't seen a bond like what we share since Salazar and Helga. And then she went on about how she wouldn't be surprised if we ended up together eventually. She's more embarrassing than Father is." I tell him before hiding my face with the book.
"Oh Saxon. Don't be embarrassed. If she said that then she's praising you, I've done some research and found out that Salazar and Helga shared one of the rarest types of bonds. If she said she hadn't seen a bond like what we have since them, then she's probably happy. In fact during my research Helga and Salazar were the last recorded account of this bond. Most thought it was a one off, but obviously it's not." Cedric started rambling.
"Cedric. What bond is it?" I asked to hopefully point his rambling in a direction.
"Well... there wasn't much I could find in the schools library about it. In fact what I did find wasn't very helpful and didn't give it any sort of name, I was actually wanting to ask you if you would like to help me look through here, or give me permission to look through here." He muttered.
"Of course I'll help. Mostly because a good portion of these books are written in parsletongue so you wouldn't be able to read them. However there is a section of this library that I almost think might have belonged to Helga rather than Salazar." I tell him pulling him up and over to the section that's in English.
I leave Cedric there while I dive deeper into the library. Thinking that if anything the answers to my questions might be in one of Salazar's personal books. Ones that he himself wrote, journals of sorts. Grabbing all of those books as well as any parsle books about bonds, I head back over to Cedric only to find him with his own stack of books and his nose already in one. I put my books down before starting with the parsle books hoping the answer might be in one of them. Quickly finding out that these books only spoke of bonds between master and their familiar. I sent them away but held onto one so that I could read about it later and determine if Fluffy was my familiar or not. After setting it aside I grabbed one of the journals.
The first few were all in English but didn't really talk about what we were looking for so I sent them back to their shelves as well. Grabbing on of the last few I had, opening it I find it's written in parsletongue. Reading through it I find that it's a book containing information about him and Helga. No wonder he wrote it in parsle, he probably didn't want anyone to know. As I read, I came across exactly what we were looking for.
Dear Reader,
Obviously if you are reading this that means you are a descendant of mine. My guess is that you have found someone special and Speranza was making jokes. She does that, loves seeing her master flustered. Don't pay much mind to her. She's just bored, having lived however long it's been since I was there. I can only imagine how boring life would get. Anyway if that truly is why you are reading this then I suppose I could tell you about the bond I share with my darling Helga. We met when we were young, becoming fast friends. The two of us did almost everything together. Once we met Godric and Rowena, the four of us became close but Helga and I remained even closer. Eventually I managed to convince myself of my love for her and went and asked her father if it was alright for me to court his daughter. He agreed without much thought on the matter, only wishing to make sure his daughter was happy. We courted for years before I actually proposed marriage to her, she accepted and we started planning our wedding and bonding ceremony. The ceremony went off without any problems and we were married, however when it came to the bonding... we said our vows and the bonding started. Normally people would glow one of three colours when they bonded with someone, blue to signify a magical bond, red to signify a blood bond, or white to signify a soul bond. However when Helga and I said the normal bonding vows, we glowed a bright and blinding purple. Some people gasped while others shielded their eyes from the light. When the light finally dimmed the person performing our bonding ceremony gave us a bright smile before saying they would send us a letter explaining what this means. Helga and I forgot about the strange occurrence until we received the letter a few days later.
It went on to tell us that we had formed a magic, soul, and blood bond. The rarest bond ever existing, only having happened once before us. Having been thought a fluke, it was lost to history. The bond itself never had a name but between Helga and I we liked to call it the serpents bond. As the bond keeps either from dying from anything but sacrifice. We were overjoyed but of course we kept that a secret from everyone. We thought no one needed to know that we would never die unless by sacrificing ourselves. I don't know if we are still alive when you are reading this but I have place a charm on me to let me know when someone reads this. Even if I'm dead the charm will still be there. I also placed a charm that will act as a portkey that can bring you to me if you so choose, however if I am dead it will bring you to my grave. The activation word is 'Serpent'
I looked up from the book and saw Cedric still looking over the books he had grabbed.
"Cedric, it's not going to be in there." I tell him.
"How do you know?" He asks looking up.
"I found our answer but the books in parsletongue. I can summarize it for you, then I think we should go speak with my dad." I said.
"Alright." He says closing the book.
I summarize what was written in here and then explained why I wanted to go see my dad. I wanted to try this portkey and see where it took me but I needed an emergency portkey to get out of there. Cedric agreed but said he wanted to come too. I nodded and the two of us cleaned up the books before giving Speranza a quick goodbye saying we would come back and visit again. Once we got out of the chamber we quickly hurried down to my dad's office. Knocking on the door we wait. My dad opens it and quickly allows us entrance.

Authors note:
Hey, I'm really sorry for the lack of updates. I've just gotten quite busy and I've been having trouble with figuring out where to go next. Don't worry though, part of that is because I've started writing the next book. The one that will be following Alex, because I had ideas and wanted to get them down. Don't worry I'm not abandoning this one for that one, in fact I don't know when I'll start posting that one but the update schedule for either of them will probably be all over the place until I figure out a system. As of right now I'm still trying to decide if I want to post the next book yet. I'll try to write more of this one so that I can get some sort of update system started, I like to try and have a few chapters written and ready to post just in case I do end up not having ideas. For now I've got a couple but I need to pick this book back up and continue it, I kind of want to finish it before I post the one for Alex but at the same time I'm almost more excited to write that one than I am this one.
Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy my stories even if I don't post very often.
