The quartet meet Lily and the Marauders

AN: I have no idea how many generations the potter family has been around. So I just guessed and presumed it was way back when Godric Gryffindor was alive which I think was a thousand years ago in the books. Just imagine how much a family that span back a thousands years would be worth? I imagine it would be billions; the money was bound to have added up over all of those years.


The Quartet Meet Lily And The Marauder's
Chapter Twenty One: Christmas At Potter Manor


It was ten thirty Saturday morning and the train was due to leave Hogsmead in an hour. Petunia had left Friday afternoon and was going to meet them at Potter Manor at five thirty. Their train was due to arrive at King cross station at three thirty, James and Lily's parents would be waiting for all of them at the platform, and then they would go straight on to Potter manor.

The nine of them managed to squeeze into a carriage and sat back ready for the ride to Hogsmead. When they arrived at the station their trunks had already been loaded on to the train. They boarded the train and found a compartment at the end of the train and they all sat inside ready for the long journey a head.

James, Harry, Remus, Sirius, Ron and Peter sat on one side of the compartment playing exploding snap, Lily, Hermione and Ginny sat talking about what was going to happen at Christmas at Potter manor.

Harry and Sirius had just beaten James and Remus at another game of exploding snap when Malfoy and Snape opened the door to their compartment. Lily asked scathingly "What are you lost? Because I'm thinking you are. Why else would you be down here where your obviously are not wanted?"

Snape successfully hid a flinch at Lily's icy tone. He knew he'd fucked things up between him and Lily when he had accused her of telling Parker what he had told her. Naturally she hadn't needed to bother, because he told Harry himself when he had accused Lily.

Malfoy sneered "So what did you do all this week, home work I suspect? Seeing as I can't imagine any of you getting any for three day's straight."

Sirius let a devious and lecherous little smirk curl his lips slightly "Actually Malfoy I'm still aching from this week’s fuck-fest. I have to hand it to who ever were responsible for spiking the juice and coffee at breakfast; they sure as hell did me a favour.”

He added dryly “So tell me did my cousins drink the spiked coffee and juice as well? As I can't see them letting you or that greasy git any where near them in less they had to or else go insane from sexual frustration."

Malfoy and Snape bristled at that and were about to reply with some insult, when Harry noticed the Black sisters of the current discussion were standing behind Malfoy and Snape. They both looked grudgingly amused at what their cousin had said.

Harry mumbled the truth spell he had created under his breath and asked "So were the Black sisters any good beneath the sheets?" Malfoy not realising what was happening replied "Well I've definitely had a sight better."

Snape commented "Well, Bellatrix blow job technique could use some work." Malfoy and Snape turned when they heard someone or more like the pissed off Black sisters clearing their throats.

Malfoy and Snape went green when they saw an extremely pissed off Narcissa and Bellatrix Black, both girls looked murderous. And it was Malfoy's and Snape's blood they were after.

They could hear Narcissa and Bellatrix giving Lucius and Severus shit all the way down the corridor. James asked "So did you remove the spell from them yet, I know I heard you mumble something under your breath?"

Harry smirked and replied "Why of course not pops, I figured I would remove it when we reached the train station." Everyone laughed when Harry called James pops.

Sirius asked "You do realise my cousins will bury the ferret and the greasy git by the time they reach Kings cross station Bellatrix especially?" James asked "And you care because?" Sirius snorted "Trust me I couldn't give a shit about Malfoy and Snape, and as for my so called family, hell could freeze over and still I wouldn't give a shit about those dark arts happy jackasses.”

He added gleefully “Besides. If they harm Malfoy and Snape then we and the world don't have to worry about mini Malfoy's and Snape's polluting us." James and the others laughed at the happy expression on Sirius's face.

When they reached the train station Harry and the others grabbed their trunks and owl cages when they saw Landon, Nyah, Laney and Daniel were waiting near by. Harry mumbled the counter spell to the truth spell he had cast on Malfoy and Snape when they walked pasted trying to fend off two extremely pissed off sisters.

Sirius buried his face in Ron's neck and shook with silent laughter. He placed a kiss on Ron's neck before he pulled away. Ron shook his head at his boy friends antics and let out a chuckle.

Landon turned to see his son and the others were doubled over with laughter. "James Landon Potter what did you do this time?" James looked mock hurt and said "I'm crushed father how you could think such a thing?"

Landon chuckled and replied "Because if it isn't you that's done something you shouldn't have, it's Sirius, Remus or Peter that has done the wicked deed." Remus snorted and replied "For once it was none of us. But I'm sure Harry would fill you in on what he did."

Landon turned and looked at his grandson questioningly "What did you do Harry that has the Black twin sisters after Malfoy and Snape juniors blood?" Landon asked.

Harry replied "I might have placed one of the spells I created on both Malfoy and Snape. I might have then waited for both of the Black sisters to be standing behind them before I possibly asked Malfoy and Snape what the Black sisters were like in bed.”

He smirked and added “They could not lie because of the spell and the sisters didn't hear exactly what they wanted to hear. I only just removed the spell, so they've spent the whole trip home telling the truth."

Landon and Daniel winced. Landon commented as he chuckled "Well it's safe to say he is definitely his father’s son." James grinned smugly knowing it was true.

Nyah asked "So how was the last week of term?" They all paused and blushed brightly at the thought of telling James and Lily's parents what they spent three days of the last week of term doing.

James said over brightly "Err we'll tell you when we get home." Landon looked at his son suspiciously but let it slide when he saw the embarrassed and pleading looks his son and the others were sending him.

They all got into a magical modified land rover, so all of their trunks would fit in the trunk and they would fit in the back of the car. Laney and Daniel followed in their own car. It was an hour and half journey to Potter manor, when they reached the large gates Harry's, Ron's, Hermione's and Ginny's jaws dropped.

The house was very large and incredibly beautiful. James grinned at their reactions to his child hood home he told them "Beautiful isn't it? It's been in the Potter family since way back when Godric Gryffindor himself was alive."

Hermione gasped "That's over a thousand years ago. It's amazing." Landon chuckled and added "You’re not the only ones to have ever reacted like this, it happens every time we have visitors." Lily added "This should have been where you grew up in the first place Harry." Harry looked at the sandy beige called mansion in awe.

When they parked the car and were inside in the manor they all looked around while James shook his head with amusement. Landon said "Seeing all of this should have been second nature to Harry."

The entire house had been decorated and their was six large Christmas trees, one in the dining room, another in the library, a third in the main room a fourth in Landon's study one in the entrance hall and finally one in James's study. Harry would later discover Landon had set up a large study for Harry next door to James’s own study.

Once the house elves had took all of their things to their rooms and they were shown where they were going to be sleeping. Harry was given the adjoining room with James's own room. Remus was given permission to share a room with Harry.

Lily shared with James, her parents knew she and James had done more then kiss. Ron was in Sirius room that was next door to James's. While Peter and when Petunia arrived would be next door to Ginny and Hermione.

Once everyone cleaned up and changed for the evening meal, Petunia had arrived by then and was talking with her parents. After dinner when everyone was sat in one of the main rooms, Landon lit one of the large fire places.

He then went and sat by his wife and asked "Now what happened this week at school that had all of you blushing and unable to tell us at the train station?" James glared at Sirius when he stifled his laughter. James cleared his throat and shifted uncomfortably before he answered

"Err some one had spiked the juice and coffee at breakfast on Monday morning before lessons. It was a fully blown and undiluted form of a lust potion. It affected all of the professor's, and Petunia and students in years five to seven, the younger students in years one to four were unaffected.”

He added “We were all separated, the castle was split down the middle, one side of the castle was where the younger students under fifteen were taken and remained for three days. They were being watched over by Hagrid who was the only adult to not be affected by the potion. Everyone else was under the influence of the potion for three solid days. I don' think I need to tell you what the potion had us all doing until it was out of our systems at the end of the third day."

Landon surprised them by asking "Even Albus and Minerva were under the influence of the lust potion?" That did it Sirius finally lost it and howled with laughter as did the others. James looked ill as he nodded "Yes."

Nyah looked amused and asked "Let me get this straight, for three days their was no lessons or anything apart from bed room activities for the older students and the professor's, even Albus and Minerva were effected?" James nodded and replied "Yes mum that would be about it."

Laney looked slightly embarrassed as well as amused at the thought of her grandfather being under the influence of a lust potion. Daniel was amused as well as feeling slightly nausea at the thought of Albus Dumbledore getting some in the bed room.

Laney grinned and said knowing her daughters would seriously balk at the idea "Perhaps I should owl my grandfather and ask him how his week was." As if right on cue both Lily and Petunia practically shrieked "NO MOTHER!" Laney leaned back in the soft over stuffed chair and grinned evilly, as her daughters looked horrified and a nauseated green.

Daniel commented looking just as ill as his daughters did "Err Laney love do you mind not doing that? I would like to sleep peacefully at night. And a naked Albus Dumbledore is the wrong way to go about doing that, plus it is enough to induce permanent nightmares."

Nyah and Landon couldn't help it, they roared with laughter. Both Lily and Petunia were hiding their faces in their boy friends chests. When they looked up they glared at their mother.

James asked his mother "Mum do you have any of that dreamless sleep potion left, as I'm afraid to go to sleep with those images?" Harry added "Yeah I'll take some of that to if you’re offering."

Landon and Nyah chuckled amused at their son and grandson's antics. Harry added "There not the most pleasant of ways to imagine Albus Dumbledore. The man as been more like a father to me since I was eleven, then he has as a great great great grandfather. Could any of you imagine your grandparents doing it, never mind your parents?"

Nyah and the other adults shuddered at the thought of their parents doing the horizontal mambo, considering how old most of then were. Landon grimaced and nodded "Yes Harry I definitely see your point" Landon said.

It was Saturday and they had all been at Potter manor for almost a week. It was Christmas Eve and everyone was excited, James of course was nervous as tomorrow during when they gave out everyone’s Christmas gifts James was going to propose to Lily.

He just hopped she accepted, he really did love her and wanted her to be his wife. He was looking forward to officially becoming Harry's father. He realised as soon as baby Harry was born he would not only be the new babies father he would also being the older Harry's father to, considering both Harry and baby Harry were the same person, the older Harry is what baby Harry would eventually become.

Dumbledore had explained the younger Harry will mesh with the older Harry as soon as he returns to his own time line making them one person, the older Harry would remain in control and would keep his own memories as well as taking on baby Harry's as well.

Landon and Nyah along with Laney and Daniel were just finishing hiding Harry, Hermione's, Ginny and Ron's gifts. The quartet would have extra gifts to open this Christmas because everyone had bought them a present each.

The girls were making cookies in the kitchen, while trying to stop the boys stealing cookies from the tray that had just come out of the oven. James and the others gave up and went out side to mess around in the snow, getting into many snow ball fights. They separated into two teams Harry, James and Remus were team one and Sirius, Ron and Peter were team two.

Remus found it easier to not get caught then he usually did, he knew that was because of the seeker reflexes he had gained through the bond he shared with Harry. James, Sirius and Peter noticed their best friend was obviously faster, his reflexes were quicker they were worthy of a pro seeker.

So naturally the opposite team was finding it difficult to hit three guys with the reflexes and speed of seekers. The other team found it difficult as well seeing as two of the guys on team two were the Gryffindor beaters, and had strong arms.

James asked as he dodged another snow ball from Sirius “So Harry, Ron do you guys fancy trying out for the team when we return in January? I'm going to be holding try outs the first week back. We need two new chasers and a keeper, as last years chasers and keeper were seventh years."

Harry asked “So who is the only remaining chaser so far?" Remus grinned and revealed "That would be me; I have been a Gryffindor chaser since my second year. I have a back up when it is and after the full moon. I manage surprisingly well actually."

Harry frowned “Your older self never mentioned that he was a chaser at Hogwarts." Remus shrugged "I can't think why I would never mention that. Ask me in the future, I'll have the answer then."

Ron commented "You never know Harry next we'll properly find out Sirius and Peter were the Gryffindor beaters." Peter snorted and replied "Actually Ron you’re correct me and Padfoot are in fact the Gryffindor beaters and have been since our second year." Harry and Ron snorted and shook their heads not believing they weren't told their fiancés were a chaser and a beater.

Sirius asked "Do you guys play for the Gryffindor team back in the future?" Harry nodded "Yeah, I'm the seeker and have been since first year. I was made captain in my fifth year. Ron is the keeper and has been since fifth year. Our chasers are Ginny, Colin and Denis Creavey. And our beaters are Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas."

Sirius snorted "Ah I should have known any child of James Potter would end up as a seeker and the captain of the team." Remus asked "Ginny is a chaser? Is she any good?" They all turned when a voice said "Why don't you ask her you’re self?" They all turned to see a grinning Ginny Weasley along with Lily and Hermione.

Remus smirked and replied "Ginny Weasley are you any good as a chaser?” Ginny’s grin turned into a smirk “Ask the captain of the team of 1997?" was Ginny's reply. They all snorted realising Ginny was playing with Remus.

Remus turned to Harry and asked "Well, is she?" Harry grinned "She is one of the best chasers I've got to offer. And Ron is definitely a skilled keeper, that I highly recommend" Harry said.

James grinned "What about you Harry? Your pro seeker quality, do you think you could do the position of a chaser any justice?" James asked. Sirius said Let’s find out shall we? If the three of them make the team, then this little experiment could be played out by the Gryffindor team of 1979."

James nodded "Ok, if you three and only if you three are better then any of the others that try out then I will invite you all to join the team. I've decided to have professor McGonagall sit through the try outs so if you three get the available positions then I can't be accused of favouritism, I would lose my position as captain if I did."

So the others spent the rest of the after noon in the air, on James's own personal quidditch pitch. He borrowed Harry, Ginny and Ron each one of his older brooms he kept over the years. Remus, Sirius and Peter had gone and got their own out of their trunks.

They discovered that after noon that Harry was just as good as a chaser as he was a seeker, but you could tell he was more comfortable as a seeker. When he and James swapped roles for one game, James also proved to be a good chaser but more comfortable like his son was as a seeker, father and son were natural seekers.

Harry, Remus and Ginny worked well together, if Harry and Ginny were chosen to be the new chasers then them and Remus would make a brilliant combination of players.

Ron did extremely well he had improved greatly since his fifth year; he was as good as Oliver Wood was. Only two goals got passed him and one was from Harry and the other was from Remus, but that also might have had something to do with the fact both boys had faster reflexes then he did.

Remus and Harry had less trouble then Ginny did when it came to avoiding the bludgers curtsy of Sirius and Peter who were wickedly good beaters. James claimed that from what he'd seen if Ron made it as their keeper then the other teams would hardly stand a chance. Two goals out of thirty was all he had let in, that was impressive even by James's standards.

The next morning was Christmas day. And James was all over the place, he was going to ask Lily to marry him and only his father knew, seeing as he had been taking care of the ring for his son until Christmas.

Harry took his father to one side and told him "Don't worry pops she'll accept I know she will." James looked at Harry suspiciously and asked "You know what exactly?" Harry grinned widely and replied "That you’re going to ask my future mother to marry you during the opening of our presents."

James looked started "How in Merlin’s names did you know that?" James asked. Harry smiled "Because my godfather and fiancée told me you asked my mother to marry you at Christmas of 1978. And guess what I believe it is December 25th 1978 soon to be 1979."


James grinned at Harry and said "Geez Harry, all the things you’re getting to witness all because of the selfish bastard quality that is a Malfoy." Harry shrugged "Oh well, that isn't anything new. We know the Malfoy men are feminine pricks and the woman look like they walk around constantly with a lump of shit under their noses."

James let out a bark of laughter and led Harry into the dinning room for breakfast before they opened their presents and James would take the plunge. After breakfast which James didn't eat a lot of due to nerves, he had decided to eat after he got engaged, he wouldn't feel so nauseated then. They all went into main family room that was used only when Family and friends visited.

Hermione was given a very rare book on Transfiguration from James, only four copies had ever been made and now Hermione owned one of the four copies. She looked at an amused James in disbelief; she asked "How on Earth did you get hold of something this rare? You are aware that only four copies of this book were ever made and are difficult to come by?"

James replied "Naturally, but it was easier to come by then you'd think, seeing as I and my father know a wizard who collects extremely rare books. I wrote him a letter and asked him if he had anything particularly rare in the field of Transfiguration, as I knew someone who would seriously appreciate it.”

He added “He wrote back and informed me of a certain title he had found over the years, he offered it to me for a price, as he had no interest in Transfiguration so the book was no use to him accept for decoration in his library of rare books and artefacts."

James smiled and said "Open the cover to the first page." Hermione did as she was told and smiled at what she had found. It was a message wrote in scarlet ink from James it read- To a dear friend who taught me the real meaning of a book worm merry Christmas Hermione, James Landon Potter.

Hermione smiled brightly and shook her head and said "Your going to be forever calling me a book worm aren't you? Even when I'm forty and you’re sixty." James chuckled and replied “You bet I am I wouldn't be James Potter if I didn't.”

He added grinning as he said “And you definitely wouldn't be Hermione Granger if you didn't have your nose stuck in a book. A large tomb size book is what you call light reading, I would call it a months worth of research." Everyone laughed at the mock glare Hermione sent James's way.

Landon and Nyah bought Hermione and Ginny scarlet and gold journals with their names engraved on the front of the covers. The pages were pure white and had an almost silky texture to them. They each received a quill from a phoenix, Fawke’s to be exact, they wrote in any colour ink the person desired without ever running out. The journals pages were never ending, if you ran out all you had to do was tap the journal and new pages would appear, and your previous entries would be saved into the journals memory, you only had to tap the pages and say the year and month you wanted the journal to show you. Ginny and Hermione had loved them.

Harry and Ron received brooms like James's from Nyah. Landon gave them a book each on quidditch sighed by the entire team of the current members of the national team. Harry and Ron had looked like little kids when they saw the autographed books, and they were in heaven when they opened their new brooms.

Remus had taken out his wand and had tattooed his and Harry initials into Harry's arm in scarlet, Harry had done the same with his own wand and Remus's arm. It had hurt like hell but it was worth it.

Everyone had been shocked by this. Sirius and Ron had done the same. Sirius confirmed he and Remus had talked about it and decided it was something they had wanted to do. Harry and Ron had been choked up, completely lost for words.

Harry gave Hermione and Ginny matching heart shaped gold lockets with each others initials on the front in tiny rubies. Ron gave them matching silver bracelets that would change colour and tell each other what mood in the other was currently in.

Lily gave Harry an album full of copies of wizarding photos of herself and the Marauder's at Hogwarts since first year. Lily gave Hermione and Ginny new make up sets with every imaginable cosmetic inside. She gave the same to Petunia who had ended up buying the same thing much to their amusement. Lily gave Ron a cleaning and polishing set for his broom, knowing what Nyah had bought him.

Laney and Daniel gave Lily and Petunia new robes and vouchers of their choice of book store, knowing both girls loved to read. James had given Ron two tickets to see the Chudley cannons play at the end of July. There were two tickets so Ron could take Sirius with him.

James took out his wand and tattooed Remus, Sirius and Peter; he tattooed their own Marauder's nick names onto their arms. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Lily did the same and allowed James to tattoo their nicknames into their arms in scarlet. Harry tattooed Prongs in scarlet on James's arm. The adults had no idea what the meaning of what they were permanently tattooing onto each others skin meant, but it obviously had special meaning for all of them.

James much to everyone’s surprise gave Ginny a broom like his own, claiming it would come in handy if she made the team. Ginny had been shocked but happy.

The main gifts that were full of meaning that were gave out that morning was what James gave Harry and Lily. James waved his left hand in a circle and mumbled a few words and two white gold rings appeared, James took one and the other floated over to Harry. Harry examined the ring it was a pure white gold band, his and his fathers initials were engraved in gold. HJP JLP. The ring James was holding was identical only the initials were wrote in reversal JLP HJP.

James told Harry "These rings are what a father and his first son exchange, normally on the sons sixteenth birthday. Once I place this ring on your right index finger, and you place the ring you hold on my right index finger. They can never be removed, not even in death. You could try to remove it with magic and still the ring will not budge an inch. I have one already on my index finger that I share with my father that I received on my sixteenth birthday two years ago.”

He added “As you can see my father has three on his index finger, one he shares with me and the other two he shares with his own fathers. I'm about to receive my second and final one. One person can only receive two rings ever, or on a rare occasion when that child as two fathers instead of a mother then the child will have three rings by the time he has a son of his own.”

He continued to explain “The rings are always white gold and engraved in pure gold, and have protection charms on them. You will receive your first now and if you have a son with Remus both you and he will receive your second rings connecting you to your first son. Ron will receive his one and only ring when Harry turns sixteen, because he was the youngest son. Sirius will receive his second and final ring then as well. Harry their son will have three rings one from Ron another from Sirius and the final and third ring if he had a son of his own.”

He concluded “As you can see Remus, Sirius and Peter have one ring each that will change if they have son each, even if father and son can't stand each other, which is the case for Sirius and his own father. Still they had to perform the spell, it is a pureblood tradition that is not allowed to be broken it is the law and has been since Merlin was alive." Harry was stunned he had no idea such a custom in the wizarding world existed.

James took hold of Harry's right hand and slowly pushed the band onto Harry right index finger. Harry took James's right hand and returned the gesture and slipped the ring down his right index finger. Instantly Harry felt the ring tighten slightly, and a slight tingling sensation surround his entire right hand. And to Harry's surprise both rings started to glow bright white and became pleasantly warm. Then it was all over the light disappeared.

Harry looked as his hand then looked at James's first ring, it had the initials JLP LCP the letter C stood for Caylum, as that was Landon's middle name and his father’s first name, Landon had been his other father’s first name.

The second ring obvious was his own connection to his father, they rested on top of each other like a woman’s engagement and wedding band would. Harry tried to move the ring, testing to see if what James said was correct. Much to his chagrin it was very true indeed; the ring would not budge a single inch. James snorted at the chagrined expression on Harry's face. "I did warn you" James chuckled amused.

Everyone realised James had not given Lily anything yet, only Harry and Landon knew the reason for this. Sirius asked James "James what did you get Lily?" James smiled slightly at Lily who suddenly looked suspicious; she knew he was up to something.

James rose out of his chair and discreetly took out the black velvet box from the back pocket of his black jeans. He stood in front of Lily and slowly dropped to one knee. Everyone let out muffled gasps they had suddenly caught onto what James was about to do, he was going to ask Lily to Marry him.

James looked up at Lily and said "There is something I'm been waiting to ask you since the end of sixth year. I've loved you since the first moment I saw you on the train in our first year. I wanted you to like me so much, but it was apparent from the first moment things were not going to start out smoothly. In fact they started out less then smoothly; it wasn't all roses more like insults and death threats." They all burst out laughing at that knowing it was the truth.

James continued when everyone had settled down. “So I'm asking you Lily Evans, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife? Will you marry me?" James opened the velvet box and revealed a beautiful pure platinum band with a thumb nail sized heart shaped sapphire in the middle with two pink diamond hearts also the size of your thumb nail, on either side of the large heart.

Lily had silent tears of shock and happiness streaming down her face as she smiled brightly and replied "Yes James I will marry you." James grinned broadly and took the ring out of the box and gently slid it over Lily's left ring finger. He then leaned forward and placed a gentle and loving kiss on Lily's lips. When they pulled away they were congratulated by their friends and family.

When everyone turned to see Harry's reaction they noticed he had a soft smile on his face as if he was remembering something, what he was remembering soon became apparent when they saw him fingering his promise ring lovingly. They turned to see Ron was doing the same as he snuggled up to Sirius. James and Lily were now snuggled up against each other in one of the four love seats.

Lily grinned "I just remembered we've all got two other ceremonies’ to look forward to in the future" Lily said. Nyah asked "What sort of ceremony had both you and the older Remus agreed on Harry?"

Harry smiled "We had decided we wanted to have a ceremony where we followed the traditional commitment vows and did the bonding ritual where I and Remus would connect our lives and magic together. So if I died or was killed he would die along with me where ever he was."

Remus nodded "Yes I agree with my older self’s decision seeing as Harry is my mate and I am his, if anything was to Happen to either Harry or myself either one of us would go insane and die of a broken heart in less then a week." Nyah and Laney sighed sadly.

Sirius asked "And what did you and my older self decide you wanted to do?" he asked turning to Ron. Ron sighed and replied "We agreed and made arrangements with Harry and Remus, that we would have a double marriage ceremony and bonding of our magic and lives. Your older self suggested it, knowing if one of us was to go before the other then we wouldn't be able to survive, we both agreed we were unwilling to live without each other no matter what."

Sirius nodded and added "Yeah I agree if something was to happen to you I would want to follow you, I don't think I would even survive a week if I knew you weren't ever returning for certain."

Lily looked at James and sighed "I don't honestly think I would even want to considering continuing if you weren't with me. Would you consider going through the same bonding with me on our wedding day?" Lily asked. James instantly replied "Of course. I wouldn't want to go on either, if your sure about this we can get Dumbledore to perform the bonding and wedding, and bind our lives and magic together."

Landon and Nyah looked at each other and nodded. Landon told them "If Nyah was to die tomorrow, next month or even next year I would soon follow her and die as well. When we got married we bind our magic and lives together. Neither of us wanted to be parted from each other not even by death."

Laney sighed “I and Daniel did something similar on our wedding day. Albus was the one who conducted mine and Daniel's wedding ceremony. I bind my life but not my magic to Daniel. You can not bind magic to a source where there is no magic. But if nothing happens to me then Daniel's life as been increased by over a hundred years. A muggle he is a muggles death he will not die. He now has the life span of a wizard just not the powers."

Harry asked "So are you two going to get married after you graduate you did back in my own time line?" James and Lily both nodded "James said "Yes I think we will marry once we graduate, so we have been married a few months before you are conceived."

Lily added "Another year and nine months that's all and you will be born in this time line." Hermione sighed "We will be home for Christmas in our own time line." James added "Yeah and all of us would have been waiting nearly seventeen years for that moment."

Sirius said “Bow back to that ring. Geez James where the hell did you find a ring like that? You are aware of how extremely rare pink diamonds are?" James nodded and replied "Of course why do you think I picked it, Lily deserves the rarest of things." Lily blushed at that, hardly believing her eyes, never having seen a pink diamond before, pink diamonds were worth millions alone, especially in the wizarding world.

Remus asked "Exactly how much did you pay for that ring?" James whispered in Remus ear knowing he would hear because of his enhanced hearing “Three point two million." Harry had heard as well and nearly choked, James had to bang him on the back.

Remus asked "Exactly how rich is this family?" Landon grinned and replied "Well use your imagination Remus, the Potter family name goes back over a thousand generations." He added "And never has a generation of Potter's ever been poor, the money tends to add up after a thousand or so years."
