Chapter 16 – Valentine's Day Cheer

Morning had arrived; Harry opened his eyes and felt for the first time in twelve years whole. Glancing down at beautiful creature resting her head on his shoulder and feeling his heart soar. He spent a good portion of awake watching her noting her beautiful face was looking so tranquil. He thought back to the events the previous night and shuttered at what occurred, an ancient dark wizard had been amongst the Dementors slowly trying to poison Daphne's mind to the point it would break. It only been their declaration that saved her and it had been their DADA professor that saved them a step more by battling the twisted creature and banishing it for good. Now the only thing standing between and a normal life is Voldemort, no pressure hey Harry? He thought shaking his head ruefully. Shaking his head apparently was enough to awaken his betrothed who stirred a moment before opening her eyes looking up at him dreamily. "Morning, love," he whispered a smile.

Daphne's own smile was breathtaking as she leaned up and kissed him, like last night it was deep causing her to moan and curl her toes, "Morning my everything," she whispered back.

"Feel like breakfast?" Harry asked.

Daphne laid her head contemplating while playing with the fibers on Harry's shirt, luxuriating in in feeling not only her emotions being free but her magic circling around her fully again if anything it felt a hundred times stronger. "Don't know I feel like all I want to do is lay here and snog you three or four times a minute until I'm satisfied," she squeaked as Harry rolled over putting her underneath, she looked up into his emerald green eyes with such adoration. "Would it be so bad?"

Harry leaned down kissing her, "Even if meant starving yeah, I could get use to that," he chuckled. He felt her run her hands long his chin almost as if she was memorizing him just by touch. "I love you," he whispered to her leaning down using his nose to nuzzle hers, he saw tears roll down her face and a warm smile grace her lips.

"And I love you," she whispered they shared another bout of kissing before Harry heard a distinctive crack. They both turned to see a rather outlandish looking house-elf dressed primarily in socks.

"Dobby?" Harry looked at the elf that 'helped' him a year ago.

"Begging your pardon Harry Potter, sir. Dumbledore is wishing that Harry Potter and his misses to join him in his office, sir," Dobby replied.

"You're working at Hogwarts, Dobby?" Harry asked.

"Yes and no Harry Potter, sir. Dobby is staying here till Dobby can find a new family, Harry Potter sir," Dobby explained.

Harry nodded having read the rather strange symbiotic life house-elves had with wizardring families. More so after he heard Marie and Robert's explanation when he told them about the Chamber of Secrets. "If you like Dobby, you can be my house-elf?"

"Harry Potter is too kind to Dobby, Dobby will meet Harry Potter at his home this summer," Dobby apparated with a crack as Harry and Daphne sat up with a sigh.

"No rest for the weary," Daphne stretch and smirked noting her betrothed was watching her. Looking down she had picked out a rather flimsy filmed night shirt from the rack that was provided by the Room of Requirement, while it didn't out right show her growing assets it did leave little to the imagination, "Like what you see, my love," she leaned in with a sultry low voice.

"Set's my heart a fire, been the envy of the school since September," he smirked.

The blonde haired girl kissed his chin before getting up, "As much as I want to spend all day snogging you," she paused turning back to his making her eyes dance, "and I do. Let's go see what our Headmaster wants, then you can take me on that picnic you had planned."

Harry nodded getting up and walking over to the closet that was provided and looked through it.

Upon entering the Headmaster's office Daphne felt every eye was scrutinizing her, Professor's Moto, McGonagall, Snape, and surprisingly Department of Magical Law Enforcement Head Amelia Bones was present. Yugi, Severus, and Minerva she could understand as they had to be here, Snape was her head of house and McGonagall was Harry's, Yugi was there because he had pulled their arses out of the fire, but could she and Harry be in trouble with the DMLE. "Ah, Harry, Daphne, do come in we were just finishing some business with Madam Bones," Dumbledore stated.

Amelia nodded, "Yugi, do you understand the mission I'm sending you on next year?"

The star haired man nodded a faint smile on his face, "Yes, though I seriously doubt working with Nymphadora for the next year will be necessary."

"Auror Tonks requested it; it'll be a year you'll be back teaching students again. But I need this intel on current Death Eater movements, according to what you've found in Azkaban last spring; Barty Crouch Jr. has been on the lamb for nearly six years now. We need to find him; I also don't want Fudge mucking it up. That's why you and Tonks got selected, Tonks can change her appearance and you aren't known visually by many of the Death Eaters," Bones explained.

Yugi nodded with a sigh, "Very well Madam Bones, I'll get started on it. Tell Nymphadora to meet me at Diagon Alley shortly after term is completed." The DMLE head smiled before nodding a few minutes later she departed by floo.

"Is something you wanted to discuss with us Professor?" Harry asked.

The old wizard nodded gesturing that they take a seat, steepleling his fingers in front of his face. Before reaching down and handing him a piece of parchment, "This came last night around the time Professor Moto stated he saw a bright flash of light, I'd say congratulations are in order."

Harry and Daphne looked down at the parchment and their eyes widen at what they saw.

Marriage Contract (Finalization)

By the decree of a Soul Bonding kiss Lord Harry Potter-Perevell-Black and Lady Daphne Greengrass have finalize said Marriage Contract set down by scribes on July 1st, 1981 by Lily Ann Potter and Marie Constance Greengrass, so mote it be

The young couple looked at each other before blushing slightly looking back up at the gathered teachers, "What was that flash?" Daphne asked.

"The flash Lady Potter," this caused Daphne's blush to deepen, which caused the old wizard to chuckle, "Was a release on both your magic from your previous lives, from what Professor Moto explained to me, Merlin Emrys and Morgana Le Fay had not been simple lovers but married, and Morgana did not turn dark of her own accord she was the very first victim of the Imperious curse."

"I couldn't decipher much from Arawn but most I could depicted a man jealous over the fact Morgana chose his hated rival over him, which set the events in motion that have yet to be concluded," Yugi explained.

"A curse I believe that will not be finished until either you or Voldemort have breathed your last," Dumbledore stated. "Which is why we will be training both of you more diligently both during the summer and while here."

Harry nodded squeezing Daphne's hand, "As for your other actions last night," McGonagall replied looking a bit fierce. "Professor Moto has already deducted points from you however for your serious lack of judgment Mr. Potter," she raised an eyebrow at the younger professor, "and saw fit to give you back some points for quality spell work I feel it is necessary to give you a minor punishment for being out of bounds, so your Hogsmeade weekend during Easter will be suspended."

Harry nods, "I can say the same for Mrs. Potter," Snape stated glancing at his own student a small quirk of his lips at the sound rolling off his tongue remembering fondly of the last person who bore that distinction. "No Hogsmeade weekend for you either." Daphne nods.

Dumbledore smiled, "Now I must arrange for a marriage suite to be made for the two of you."

"W-We actually have those here at school?" Harry asked.

"Why yes Harry, while not common practice more than few witches and wizards who have passed through these walls have been married and needed accommodations to support them while they were here," the old wizard chuckled again. "I believe you've broken the record set by Frank and Alice, when they were here married in their fourth year I believe."

Snape sighed heavily, "Longbottom crowed about it for nearly half a year afterward, made Lily swoon." Daphne giggled picturing her mother-in-law doing that while picturing a Neville look alike with someone like Tracey flaunting a ring for everyone to see. Her eyes widen remembering the Soul Rings.

Dumbledore saw her expression, "I believe we've tortured you enough, you may go and enjoy your Valentine's," the old wizard smiled as the young couple nodded and left the room. "I take it you've felt the power those have now, with the soul bond they've awakened their reincarnations. It'll be interesting to see what the next three and a half months left in the term for them will be."

"I suspect they'll have an easier time with their lessons," McGonagall stated.

Yugi pursed his lips before snickering, "I doubt they'll focus as much on lessons as they will on messaging each other's tongues," the young man laughed a bit before bidding the older teachers and headmaster a farewell.

Daphne made a stop in her dorms to pick up a certain item she had since before Christmas. Taking it and hiding it among her robes she walked with Harry to the spot he had chosen for their picnic. She had had to laugh at the cheesy cliché scene before her, a snow white fireplace, a polar bear skinned rug, a candle lit table with a nicely set dinner, and falling around the setting was an enchanted snow fall no doubt made by Hermione and Tracey. As cheesy as it was it still had such a romantic look to it that it warmed her heart. "You were going to confess in this setting, Harry?"

"Yeah, felt it would be spot on, even going to have music playing if I could manage it," Harry sighed. "I couldn't," he walked over and offered her the chair which she gladly accepted. The young couple ate talking about the things that occurred while trying to come to grips to what was implied, that they were Merlin and Morgana reincarnated. "As if my life couldn't get more complicated this had to happen."

Daphne reached over and squeezed his hand, "But you never needed to do it on your own Harry, I'm with you, Ron and Hermione are with you, my parents and my sister are with you, you don't have to bear the burden alone," she pulled out a small box. "I wanted to give you this at Christmas, but I think that wretched thing was influencing me."

Harry saw a small box with a the image of a Stag and a Doe embossed in gold on the top of the box with the Perevell and Potter coat of arms surrounding the side of the box, "What is this?"

Daphne opened it, "These are your parent's wedding rings Harry, Dumbledore took them back to a store for safe keeping, I think. According to the owner they are soul rings created by bathing gold in phoenix tears and unicorn blood willing taken."

Harry lifted the smaller of the two rings, both were simple gold bans that had writing on them that looked eerily like the dark elvish written on the Master ring from the Tolkien novels. He placed the larger ring in Daphne's hand, then proceeded to slip the smaller band on her right ring finger. Daphne's eyes watered as she did the same to him, the moment the ring slipped onto his finger another bright light flashed as well as a haunting scream, both looked around for a second before Harry collapsed to the ground his scar bleeding a strange black blood. "Harry!" Daphne caught him as he fell and dragged him over to the rug to cradle in his head in her arms.

His eyes fluttered open a few minutes later feeling light headed but also feeling stronger than he ever felt before. Looking up as again he could see as light filtered through Daphne's hair making her look so angelic, "Did you know when the light hits you just right, that it makes you even more beautiful than you already are?"

Daphne blushed leaning down and kissing him, "What happened?" she asked concerned.

"Don't know that scream sounded familiar though like last year when I destroyed Tom Riddle's diary only it was closer," Harry stated reaching up and wiping away the strange black blood. "I'm fine now," he slowly sat up turned to his new wife and the two began a bout of kissing that was heartfelt and passionate.

The months that proceeded to follow was probably the best months in Harry's life, classes flowed with its usual frantic pace, quidditch practice for the last game of the season was its usual hassle, the game itself had been long and tedious having to resign catching the snitch at a certain point in the game to win the house quidditch cup, Cho hadn't made it easy for him either. She constantly kept blocking his attempts to capture the golden ball, what she lacked in speed with her broom she made up for in tactics, he had to admit she would make for a better Seeker than Diggory he might put in to sign her for the Cannons if she wasn't such a Tornado fan. Still he managed to fake her out long enough to capture the snitch and win victory not only in the Quidditch Cup but the House Cup as well. End of term saw him with the best grades he's had since coming to Hogwarts. His nights however revolved around Daphne, the couple while not consummating the marriage had at least gone to third base, heavy petting and kissing to the point of near consummation. It took an immense amount of willpower on both their parts not to, teenage hormones the way they were constantly firing 'come on do it!'. But both felt they be doomed the next year, living an entire year like this would be Nye impossible for them to hold back.

Boarding the Hogwarts express, Harry and Daphne both promised Ron they would join them for the Quidditch World Cup and spend the summer at the Burrow if they could manage it. "Best year I've had, pretty normal outside the ancient Dark Wizard and finding out Pettigrew was Scabbers of all things," Harry stated.

Ron nodded, "Too right makes me worried though if this year was tame wonder what next year will be like?"

Hermione groaned, "You've just doomed us Ron."

"What?" the red haired asked before getting a pointed look from his bushy haired friend. "Oh right, sorry."

"I'm not worried to much, I got the sexiest witch in the school," Harry smiled gently putting an arm around his blonde haired wife. "Right good snogger you ask me."

"Harry Potter, you prat!" Daphne shouted looking scandalized while his two friends laughed.

THE END

Author's Note: It's finally finished I bow and allow applause, please do review. It's been fun and I will go back at a later date and fix all the grammatical issues, this is probably the only other fic that I was driven to complete as fast as I did, last time I went through a fic this fast was my Jedi Knights of Earth fic. Simply put one minor element of Yu-gi-oh and put it in the Harry Potter universe, Yugi that all and he wasn't even a major character until the climax, as I said in the beginning the main plot was focusing on Harry and Daphne. This is how most crossovers should be written in my opinion though many, myself included ignore this fact. I also like to point out the Chudley Cannons subplot, J.K. had subplots throughout her series, save the first and last books, the first was mainly to introduce characters and the last was to tie everything up, the movies never ever focused on the subplots. Chamber of Secrets subplot was the mandrakes, Prisoner of Azkaban was easy it was the Quidditch matches and Gryffindor winning the Quidditch Cup, Goblet of Fire Hermione's SPEW and the Blast Ended Swrets, Order of the Phoenix Harry and Cho's dating while this is in the movie it's not detailed. Half-Blood Prince's subplot was all about the potions, love potions, luck potions, etc. those that believe otherwise need to drink a get a life potion, lol. At any rate the subplots are just as much fun to read as the actual plot and it's a piss poor shame that the movies never included these, especially the Quidditch matches in Prisoner of Azkaban I know it wasn't important to the main story save the first one but damn it would have been nice to see them on screen.
