Somewhere

all praise yet another crappy title!!

golly i'm running out of title ideas!! i can't believe this is 43 chapters long already with no end in sight!
there are 22 chapters just to get you to the point where i am at the min in my hand written version and i haven't even got to christmas yet!! looks like you're in for the long haul with this one folks!
on the upside though i've got another two chapter written up ready for you and the next one is the last one from my first notebook so that's stored safely away on my shelf now...
on the down side though... well you'll see next time won't you!

i'm not sure this is a good idea giving you this because it's now 3am and i've got a friend coming round tommorrow morning to take my portrait as a present for my grandparents.... i'm gonna look like a sack o' crap!!
oh well what can i say i'm the giving type!

“Oh Harry, congratulations,” cried Hermione as she threw her arms around him.

“When the war’s over we’re going to have a big ceremony.”

“That could be years away though Harry,” she said gently.

“I know but that’s really only so that everyone else knows. We’re already bonded,” he said.

“What?!”

“This morning, we were bonded,” he grinned.

“Why didn’t you tell me? I’ve read all about the ritual,” she said.

“Because we didn’t do the ritual. It wasn’t planned.”

“You mean… soulmates? Did you get marked?” she said in awe.

With a nod he stripped off his shirt to show her the snake still curled around his bicep.

“We were made for each other Hermione, truly made for each other,” he said, putting his shirt back on before grabbing her hands and dancing around the room with her.

“That’s what that was then,” she laughed.

“What what was?”

“This morning, everyone felt a wave of happiness and love pass through them. No one could understand it but it must have been from your bonding.”

“Oh Hermione I’m so happy. I’m going to get married to the love of my life and I can’t keep still. I just want to shout it from the rooftops,” he laughed.

“I’m so happy for you Harry.”

“Do you think…?”

“What?”

“Is Ron still mad with me?”

“I don’t think he was ever mad with you in the first place Harry.”

“I… I need to talk to him. He can’t deny this,” he said, running his hand over his arm where the mark was.

“Try. I think you’ll get through to him,” she said, hugging him.

“Come one then,” he said, grabbing hold of her hand and dragging her from the room.

Pulling her through the corridors they headed for the Gryffindor tower. When they got there he made her come with him to the dorm, needing her for moral support. There sat Ron on his bed, looking through a Quidditch magazine.

“Ron…” he started quietly, seeing that there was no one else in the room.

“What?” came the gruff reply.

“I… we need to talk.”

“What about?”

“For crying out loud, what is your problem? Why can’t you just be happy for me, accept that I love him?”

“Because for the last six years you’ve hated each other and now you’re telling me that you love him!” he snapped, throwing the magazine down on the bed.

“People change Ron, I’ve changed. I don’t think I’ve ever truly hated him and I think I’ve loved him for a long time, even if I didn’t realise it,” he whispered.

“You can’t. He’s the evil, greasy Potions Master. Maybe it’s just some stupid crush,” Ron said quietly.

“It’s not a crush Ron. We’re soulmates, bonded. We were made for each other,” he said, stripping off his shirt again to show Ron the snake.

“It can’t be,” he said in disbelief, reaching out to touch the mark lightly, drawing back in surprise when it turned to look at him.

“Please Ron. I don’t want to lose my best friend over this.”

“I… I don’t want to lose you either Harry. I can’t say that I understand this, but I can’t deny that,” he said, pointing to the snake.

“So you’re not mad with me?” he said with a smile.

“I was never mad at you Harry,” he sighed, seconds before the Harry launched himself at him.

“Ron,” he laughed as he hugged him.

“Gerrof!”

“You’ve got to be my best man or what ever it is,” he said.

“What?!”

“When the war ends, we’re going to get married,” he said, showing him the ring.

“Oh, too much to handle. Now you’re just acting like a woman!”

“Ron, I know this is a lot to take in but please… just try to be happy for me.”

“I am happy for you Harry, it’s just going to take me some time to get used to everything is all.”

“Take all the time you need, because right now, I’ve got everything I could have ever wished for,” he laughed.
