When Frances Barrett accepts a position of housekeeper, nanny, and nurse to the Fellowes family, she believes that it will be simply a stepping stone to get over a personal tragedy. But as she cares for the ailing Helena Fellowes and her three children, she finds herself drawn into the family dynamics. A mother lies dying of consumption, bitterness building against her husband. A father struggles with inner demons while filling his children's heads with fantasies and dreams. And three children are caught in the middle of a feud without even knowing it. All they do is listen to their father's stories and the wedge is driven deeper. The longer Frances stays, the more she sees of the pain behind the father's stories and the sadness and fear the mother faces, not of dying but of leaving her children with their father. What Frances had hoped would only be a few months of mind-numbing domestic work turns into a time of discovery, war, love, and tragedy. Copyright © 2014 Veronica Graham. All rights reserved.

Book 1 of 3 (Complete) "Love wasn't the way you felt as you looked at someone. The stirring in your stomach. It was the complete willingness to throw yourself in front of a knife to save them. And it was having the nerve to accept this, because you'd rather die a thousand times than to see them get hurt." A Soul Bonded Hinny fanfiction. Jily lived too. Romione at a slightly younger age, more pronounced than in the books at least. I do not own Harry Potter, JK Rowling does. Harry James Potter was always a different boy. Wether because he was a marked man, or because of his family, he never realized just how strange he was. That is until the Bond started to grow. Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters used besides three or four OC's. The Bond idea is from Vampire Acadamy (kinda) but I completely made it my own. Almost everything about it is of my own creation, so please don't steal my idea and call it yours. I mean, if you completely changed it and used to basic idea for a fic, but not all of the details that I worked so hard to integrate into this Fanfiction such as The Stages, Visions, Visiting, Guardians, and many more, sure, that's fine. Soulbond is a type of Fanfiction, I just changed it completely to make it my own.
