Percy gets married in a private ceremony...

Chapter Twenty-four

Harry had given one of his houses to Percy as a Pre-Bonding gift. Percy had attempted to refuse it until Harry said he owned too many properties and he would appreciate it being taken off his hands. Oliver had accepted it as a gesture of friendship; they couldn’t raise two small children around Teddy’s age in a London apartment. They needed somewhere safe and unplottable.

Harry and Draco left the children with Dippy and Andromeda, despite their public lives Percy and Oliver decided on a highly private ceremony over lunch in Minister Shacklebolt’s office.

Molly was bringing Arthur a lunch he forgot, Oliver was coming to pick Percy up for lunch, Hermione was supposed to be meeting with Kingsley at one so being early wouldn’t be a problem. Ron could easily go see Percy since he worked at the Ministry. Harry, Draco, Snape and Bill were expected to be at the Ministry for a convening of the Wizengamot anyway.

They were all assembled, Bill was standing as Percy’s witness and Charlie was Oliver’s. Harry had politely declined; he thought Charlie was better suited to the role.

Oliver and Percy signed the blood adoption of Oliver’s nieces first, so they were now theirs…

Minister Shacklebolt began, “Since we are in a hurry, we should begin; do you Percival Ignatius Weasley take Oliver Brian Wood to be bonded one to another? To guide, comfort, provide and to care for his children? His wealth will be your wealth and your wealth his?"

Percy nodded, “I take Oliver Brian Wood to be bonded one to another. To guide, comfort, provide and care for our daughters. What’s mine is his and what’s his is mine.”

“Do you Oliver Brian Wood take Percival Ignatius Weasley to be bonded one to another? To guide, comfort, provide and to care for his children? His wealth will be your wealth and your wealth his?"

Oliver grinned, “I take Percival Ignatius Weasley to be bonded one to another. To guide, comfort, provide and care for our daughters. What’s mine is his and what’s his is mine. It‘s about time he let me make an honest man of him. I‘ve wanted this since he walked onto the Hogwarts express as a Prefect and I was Quidditch Captain.”

“Shut up Ollie.”

Minister Shacklebolt held out his wand as he sealed the scroll, "Let us bless the couple…"

"As it is written…so let it be…" the chorus was taken up with raised wands that showered the couple with gold and sliver sparks

Oliver chuckled, pulling Percy into his arms, “I told you we’d be Bonded and that it would happen in the Minister’s office. You should have believed me.”

“Well I couldn’t very well officiate my own Bonding, be glad I’ve given up aspirations to be Minister. I’ve had nearly enough politics and I’m merely a secretary.”

Minister Shacklebolt made a shooing gesture, “Go get out of here. The junior secretary Ms. Bones can handle the rest of the day. Now I want all Weasleys out of my office before the Prophet discovers your plot.”

Molly hugged her newly Bonded son, “Go have fun. I want to meet those girls of yours properly.”

Percy fixed his mother with an unreadable look, “When the time is right,they have a lot of adjusting to do…”

Harry patted Oliver on the shoulder as the left the Minister‘s inner office, “Never really thought until recently you really had a chance that Percy would agree to a Bonding. Sorry about that mate, I’m glad the Puddlemere made you captain. I sort of miss playing under you.”

Oliver laughed, “Anytime you want to try playing with the reserve team you give me a call. You know I sent recruiters during you Sixth year. You ever decide to play I’d enjoy having you…”

It was sad, only Katy, Oliver, Ginny and Cho went professional; Harry had chosen to be a part of his sons lives.

Harry smiled, “I’ll think about it, I am a little rusty.”

Draco snorted, “I saw you fly with Teddy, if you’re rusty, it isn’t any less amazing then your First Year, Percy is the Minister of Magic…”

Percy snorted, “Harry can practically fly blind, I’ve seen him and Victor fly within weeks of each other. The only person who could outfly Victor Krum is Harry Potter.”

Draco nodded, “Flying to Harry is like…remembering how to use a wand for me…” he hadn’t had a wand in years when they finally granted the right back to him, yet he hadn’t forgotten how to use it.

Harry shook his head, “I have no desire to play professionally just because I was good at it doesn’t mean I should continue. Raising my children comes first, I could never put a career ahead of them.”

Molly Weasley winced; he was obviously referring to Ginny putting her professional career over her children and her marriage. “We should go…the happy couple have much to do.” gaining two more granddaughters made her happy, blood adopted or not…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Troll?
