Hogwarts Hospital Wing

"Any change?" asked Minerva as she walked into the Hospital Wing

"No," said Albus who was sitting by the bed the two students where on, still surrounded by the golden nimbus.

"It's been three days now Albus, do you know what it is that's happening?" asked Minerva as she sat down next to the aged Headmaster.

"Not yet, Aberforth was in yesterday, I'm waiting for him to return to see if he can spread any light on it."

"Albus, what is it that you had to involve your brother, what can he find out that you cannot."

"Nothing Minerva, except he's an unspeakable, I have my own theories on the matter, I am just waiting for Aberforth to return to confirm my suspicions"

"What do you mean he's an unspeakable, I thought he owned the Hogs Head"

"He does, but he is still an unspeakable, he left the Ministry when Cornelius became Minister, but he still has full access" said Albus

Before they could talk any further on it, the door of the hospital wing opened and entered Sirius, Remus, and Severus. It turned out that the conversation they had in the chamber just off the Great Hall did wonders for the three, that and two bottles of Fire whiskey. Albus still did not know what had went on in that chamber but it appears that there were the signs of the beginning of a friendship between the three.

'Just what they need, especially Severus' thought Albus

"Any change Albus?" asked Remus

"None yet, I'm just waiting on some news to get back to me"

Just then, an owl flew into the room carrying a letter for Albus. Quickly reading it Albus made his excuses and left the hospital wing in a hurry.

As Albus, left he noticed Merlin and Crookshanks sitting outside the door, letting the two animals in to join Hedwig and Fawkes who were already holding a vigil over the two.

Quickly making his way towards his office Albus moved with a speed not thought possible for someone of his age.

When Albus entered his office, he found his brother sitting by the fire wearing earth brown robes and his long white beard tucked into his belt.

"Well?" said Albus quickly walking over to his brother.

"I found out what's happened Al" said Aberforth

"And?" said Albus being slightly impatient with his beloved brother.

"It looks like you have a daughter-in-law!"

"You mean?"

"Yes, quiet extraordinary youngest ever recording of it happening, actually"

"Interesting, well what happens next,"

"Here's a book on what can happen with a Soul Bonding occurs, but that does not mean will happen, if what you have said about young Harry is true I'd go for the totally unexpected" said Aberforth as he passed the book across to his brother.

"So are they asking what's happened yet?"

"No they are still unconscious"

"But the Nimbus of light has gone right?"

"No why,"

"Well, strictly speaking in the past the longest soul bond has only ever taken two days at the most and we are eight hours off the start of their fourth day under, I'd definitely go for the unexpected."

"So what changes can we be expecting?"

"Well, their Magic power will grow significantly if they are still under just now, they will quickly finish off going through puberty, meaning that in a matter of days they could be in the body and mind of seventeen or eighteen year olds, due to this they will come in to their full powers. I'd say it was lucky you decided to let them become apprentices I doubt it will take more than two years for them to be ready for their NEWTs."

"Hmm, this is slightly worrying, will the both be safe?"

"Al, I can promise you that they will be safe as can be, the bond will protect them more, but what needs to be realised is that they will no longer be small children and the law will see them as adults in the fullest sense. Young Harry will have access to all his family possessions so I would suggest training him in how to handle it, but anyway how about we go down and see my newly adopted soul bonded nephew," said Aberforth standing up

"Yes it is really about time you both met," said Albus and leading his brother out of the office.

Thursday 4th August 1994

7:30pm

Albus was again sitting at the bed his adopted son and his new daughter in law where still sleeping in the golden nimbus of light that had surrounded them these past five days nearly, was slowly fading away.

Since the time that Harry and Hermione kissed, they had both seen what each other had lived through so far in their lives; it was part of the soul bonding. Harry saw Hermione's childhood, where she was bullied for the way she was at primary school for being smart and when people used her just so they did not have to do work. Much of what Harry saw angered him, while he was unconscious, he made the promise that he would always be there for Hermione, his Hermione.

The way Harry saw all of Hermione's memories, Hermione saw all of Harry's memories, memories of being chased and bullied by Dudley, being locked in a cupboard under the stairs, being berated by his uncle, playing Quidditch at Hogwarts. Hermione was angered and saddened by what she saw what most of Harry's life had been like and she made the promise that she would always be there for Harry, her Harry.

It was during this time that while seeing each other's memories, especially during their time at Hogwarts both Harry and Hermione saw how much they did care for each other. Hermione got one big shock when she saw Harry sneak into the hospital wing every night she had been lying petrified. It was also when Harry finally seen to what an extent Ron used Hermione while they were at school, Harry didn't see him ever being friends with Ron again, it was while they were seeing the recent incident with them riding on the back of Buckbeak that they both thought,

'I love Harry'

'I love Hermione'

After that revelation, the Soul bond was sealed.

Harry and Hermione woke up at the same time and happily saw each other.

'He's gorgeous'

'She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, why has it taken me so long'

'Harry?'

'Hermione?'

'How are you reading my thoughts?"

'I could ask you the same?'

There was a cough that interrupted their thoughts together from next to them they both sat up quickly to see Albus and what looked like his twin sitting right next to them.

"Well I see you're finally awake," said Albus smiling brightly.

"Hi, eh, what happened?" asked Harry

"Yes, well that's quite interesting actually" said the man sitting next to Albus

"Sorry, but who are you?" asked Hermione

"Oh I'm sorry allow me to introduce myself, I am Aberforth Dumbledore, brother to Al here, and by extension now your uncle, use can call me Uncle Abe if you want or just Abe." Said Abe, sitting back in his chair.

"Albus, what happened? Why are we here? Eh...and in the same bed?" asked Harry

"Well we couldn't separate you; if he had it would have killed the both of you!"

"How? Why?" Hermione asked panicked.

"You were going through...a bond...a soul bond," said Albus looking slightly embarrassed.

"What does that mean?" asked Harry sitting up fully now, his attention entirely focused on his adopted father.

"Well a soul bond is something that is fated. There is a book in the Department of Mysteries that's sole purpose is recording when Soul Bonding occurs," said Albus

"I t-think I read about it," said Hermione looking nervous

"What do you know about it?" asked Albus

"Basically a soul bond is what it says our souls have become one, it isn't very common but it does have advantages, it all differs, but what does occur in every case is, we can communicate with each other telepathically, I think that's what happened earlier. Also as far as I know we can never be with anyone else and be happy."

"Well, I don't really see a problem with that," said Harry gathering up his Gryffindor courage and looking Hermione straight in the eye.

"Yes, well there are a few other things you should know about the soul bond" spoke Abe.

"It's not anything bad is it?" asked Harry putting an arm around Hermione's shoulder.

"Well, some of the effects brought on by the soul bond is both of your bodies have aged to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, it has also brought your Magic up to its full maturity, you will both have to go through some training on being able to control your Magic. It would be worthwhile to test your Magic and see what level you are both at, as well as your soul being bonded so has your Magic, so individual talents that you have will also become or rather have become a talent of the other. Another fact is that you will age slower. Something that you should know is that over the period of the next year, you cannot be separated for a long period. I think it would be good if you both try to take the same amount of classes together, you should both be safe for at least three hours apart. Now there's is one more piece of information that you should both know." Said Abe looking slightly nervous now, he was looking pointedly at his brother.

"What is it Albus," asked Harry

"Well you see technically know you and Hermione are both well...married"

"What, Married?" asked Harry.

"I'm sorry Harry," said Hermione quietly

"What are you sorry for?" asked Harry looking straight at Hermione.

"It's my fault"

"I don't see how, all that's happened is that we were married earlier, a lot earlier than I had planned but I am happy I think, when you kissed me it was like all my dreams have come true, Hermione I do love you I think, no I now that have loved you since that Halloween in first year. To be honest I'm happy truly" said Harry looking Hermione straight in the eye,

Looking at Harry, Hermione could tell Harry was telling her the truth,

"I love you too, and I am happy," said Hermione throwing herself at Harry, kissing Harry on the lips, thoughts gone of the Headmaster and his brother sitting next to them.

After a moment realisation hit, Hermione and Harry separated and blushed before looking at the two Dumbledore's.

"Well I guess I should welcome you to the family," said Albus getting up and hugging Hermione and then Harry, before Abe followed.

"I just thought, what will we tell mum and dad?" asked Hermione.

"The truth, Mrs Potter," said Harry smiling at Hermione.

Sunday 7th August 1994

Harry and Hermione collapsed into the couch in the living room at Grimmauld Place it had been, a busy few days since they had woke up in the hospital wing. They were initially shocked at the changed that they had gone through but had to admit they both looked good, Hermione was happy as her slightly large front teeth had shrunk and her bushy hair was gone it was now smooth straight hair. Harry was taller he was now just over six foot with Hermione five foot nine, both of their bodies had fully matured.

They both admitted to each other that they had never been happier since they had found out about the soul bond.

They hadn't really gotten to try out any Magic yet as the first thing they had done was see, Sirius, Remus and Severus who where quickly becoming fast friends, the old rivalry from school gone, a friendship was growing steadily. After receiving congratulations from the three, Snape's congratulations to the two were slightly unsettling.

Next came the part that the two were slightly nervous about meeting the parents. Harry nearly fainted in relief when it was over; Dan and Emma came back to Hogwarts from Africa for a few days. They were both shocked at first that their little girl was a married woman now, and how she had aged so much in the past week that they had been away, they did both accept Harry as their son-in-law. However, they along with the rest of the adults were adamant that they two should have a ceremony to make it more real in their eyes. It was agreed to have the ceremony just before summers end just to give Harry and Hermione a bit more time to get used to the idea of actually being married.

Harry was taken on a fishing trip with Dan about three miles away from Hogwarts where they had a long chat while they tried to catch fish, Harry had never been fishing before. Dan had wanted to make sure that Harry would always put Hermione's safety first and that he was really prepared to share his life with Hermione. It turned out to be quiet enjoyable for the two, Dan had done the fatherly thing and used the old line of killing Harry if he ever hurt his little girl, but after that the two got on like a house on fire.

One of the points Dan and Emma had made was they did not want them to be having any children before they had graduated from Hogwarts. Minerva had taken the news well about her two favourite students having a soul bond.

They had decided to wait until they had to inform the Weasley's, seeing how things looked now with the red haired clan.

Tonight Harry and Hermione had time to themselves Minerva had taken Albus somewhere saying something about a debt to be paid, Sirius, and Remus where at Hogwarts with Snape. It was the first time Harry and Hermione had time to themselves, they were back at Grimmauld Place, Harry had done the traditional thing and carried Hermione over the fresh hold. While they had been going out for about four days, they knew more about each other than someone who had been married more than twenty years. They had decided to cuddle up on the couch in their room, they had found out very quickly when they tried to sleep in separate beds but the pull to be together was too much so it ended up with Hermione finding herself in Harry's bed. Since then all of Hermione's things had been moved into Harry's room.

They had decided to have a quiet night before the busy day tomorrow. They had to go to Gringotts the next day; a letter had arrived asking for their presence to go over Harry's inheritance. They were having to go to Diagon alley the next day to get their things for school as they would be leaving for the Quidditch World Cup on Wednesday, then after the Cup they would be moving into Hogwarts to start their Apprenticeships, Harry would start his Arithmancy and Ancient Runes studies with Hermione when they had got back.

"Harry?"

"Hmmm"

"I think I like being Mrs Harry Potter"

"I think I like being Mr Hermione Potter," said Harry laughing.

"Well then Mr Potter, if you want to keep the job, you'll need to shape up," said Hermione in mock seriousness.

"Anything you say 'Mione" said Harry

"I like that"

"What?"

"'Mione"

"I'll remember that," said Harry leaning down and kissing Hermione.

"Come on let's get to bed it's going to be a long day tomorrow" said Hermione before getting up and then pulling Harry up off the couch.

Monday 8th of August 1994

The day started early for the recently bonded Potter couple. Harry was about to find out what it was like to have a wife, though Hermione didn't often show her feminine side she loved to shop.

Harry was an early riser usually but today he would regret it. Hermione decided that seeing as her Harry, as she had taken to calling him, was up, and ready so they could leave so they would have more time to spend shopping.

"Come on Harry" said Hermione as she pulled a slightly reluctant Harry towards the Floo network.

"Alright Hermione I'm coming, its only half seven nothing will be open" said Harry sounding playfully exasperated.

"Gringotts will be, come on" said Hermione as she pulled a slightly reluctant Harry towards the Floo.

"Wow, wait a second Hermione, I hate the Floo I have a much better way to transport us to Diagon Alley." Said Harry smiling

"Okay, but can we hurry please, the new edition of Hogwarts: A History is out today" said Hermione pulling off her puppy dog eyes.

"Just hold on" said Harry as he put his arm around Hermione as Fawkes appeared and Harry grabbed onto his tail feathers

Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Diagon Alley

As Harry and Hermione climbed up the white marble steps of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the main Alley was quiet with none of the shops yet open.

As they passed through the brass front doors into the main foyer the saw that it was, hardly any humans around there were plenty of Goblins hanging around.

As they walked up to the nearest teller, Harry recognised the Goblin sitting at the counter.

"Hello Griphook, how are you doing?"

The Goblin in question looked up in surprise of being addressed by a wizard who knew his name; wizards never remembered any of the goblins names.

"Mr... Potter, yes you have changed and I can see you are soul bonded, congratulations. What can I do for you today?"

"Thank you Griphook, my wife, and I received a letter the other day from the Goblins here at Gringotts to go over my Inheritance." Said Harry as he handed over the letter they had received a few days ago.

"..."

Before Griphook could say, anything another Goblin walked up and spoke.

"It's alright Griphook, I'll deal with this" said the ancient looking Goblin.

When Griphook saw whom it was his eyes widened slightly before bowing to the Goblin.

"Ragnok, my lord"

"Well Mr and Mrs Potter shall you follow me and we shall get started" said Ragnok before leading them off to a side corridor heading towards his office.

Once everyone was seated, Ragnok began.

"Well Mr Potter, I know you are wondering why I asked you to come here today, rather than on your seventeenth birthday, now you know that a soul bond has recently taken place between you and Mrs Potter here your folder became active again"

"What Folder, I don't really know anything about my family"

"Yes, well I think it may be the time to start," said Ragnok as he began to look through the folder.

"Let's begin shall we, time is money after all. Well since the night your parents died all vault workings have been inactive, except the investment vault and your trust vault." Said Ragnok looking up from the folder.

"Sorry...are you saying that I have more than one vault?" asked Harry

"Yes, quite a few vaults in fact Lord Potter," said Ragnok with the equivalent of a Goblin smile.

"LORD?" Harry shouted

"Yes, Lord Potter, but please could you refrain from shouting my hearing works perfectly well thank you very much..."

"As I was saying, you have quite a few vaults here with us at Gringotts, which is why I have asked you here today. However, I digress too soon, yes the investment vault is something you are family set up years ago which states how much a year money is invested and where it is invested. The equivalent amount is returned each year and the profits are split between the main family vault, the estate vault, and various charities that the Potter family has donated to for years."

"Okay..." said Harry not knowing what else to say

"I know it's a bit daunting Lord Potter but now is the time to come to terms with the fact that you are a very wealthy wizard."

"..." Harry was struggling to take this all in.

"Lord Ragnok is that all to the proceedings here or is there something else?" came Hermione's voice into the conversation.

"Yes, Lady Potter, you are quiet correct there is more that we have to cover. As when every wizard comes of age, they are tested to see if there are any unclaimed family vaults in Gringotts that have been forgotten for some reason or another."

"Okay," said Hermione "that sounds quiet sensible"

"What we need is for both of you to place, three drops of blood into these two stone bowls in front of you." Said Ragnok

"Why both of us?" asked Hermione

"Because my Lady, there is a chance that you have vaults here that are yours through some form in another."

As Harry and Hermione pricked the top of their fingers with the dagger, that Ragnok handed them, they where both filled with apprehension. The stone bowls glowed slightly and in front of Ragnok, a quill rose up in the air and started writing on a single piece of parchment.

After a few minutes, the quill both dropped down to the desks. Ragnok just looked at the parchments before handing it over to Harry and Hermione.

Hermione looked down at list and began to read.

"Is this real?" asked Hermione slightly sceptical

"Yes, my lady I assure you that there is no mistake in this document." Said Ragnok

Harry was looking as the parchment as Hermione was speaking to Ragnok he couldn't really comprehend everything that was going on.

"How can this be?" asked Harry

"What do you mean Mr. Potter?" asked Ragnok

"What I mean is how could I be the heir to all four founders, how is it that my mother's family had a vault here as well, who are the Prevell's I've never even heard of them and who is this Myrridin?" asked Harry in one breath.

"Mr Potter I do not have all the answers it is something that you and your beautiful wife are going to have to look into, what I would suggest is maybe having a look inside that vaults and seeing if either of you can find your answers."

"Yes I think that would be a good idea, Lord Ragnok." Said Hermione as Harry still seemed confused, he knew virtually nothing about his family and then all this has happened. When Harry had entered the Magical World, he had been so caught up in everything that was happening that he never took the time out to find out about his family.

As Harry and Hermione rose from their seats Ragnok spoke to them again.

"As you take time to look down in your vaults I shall have gather all documents attaining to your estates. Though you may find most of the paper work in the vaults as some have been without an account manager for quite some time, which is something that needs to be assigned, do you wish a Goblin assigned or do you have anyone in mind"

It seemed that Harry was finally coming around.

"Yes, I would like Griphook assigned to my accounts"

At this Ragnok had a slight look of shock, Griphook was not that high up in the higher arky of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, but had just shot up to hold Gringotts largest account holder.

"I too would like Griphook to manage my accounts, I think Harry and I would like to have it put as one whole account I know it's a lot of work but Harry and I will be looking through most of what we can to try and at least understand what is going on." Said Hermione.

As Harry and Hermione where led to where the carts where to take them to their vaults, both where lost in thought as to what had just happened. As Harry came to a stop at the carts, waiting for the Goblin to enter, he was surprised that Orik the Goblin walked off down a corridor away from the carts. Deciding to follow Harry and Hermione found Orik standing in front of what could only be called a stone shoot.

As Orik moved his hand, a stone platform appeared before them.

"After you" said Orik

"What is this?" asked Harry

"It is the executive travel shoot," said Orik

Harry and Hermione just nodded in reply both lost in thought.

As the executive travel shoot made its way down to the bowels of Gringotts neither Harry nor Hermione heard the soft music playing as they descended deep down to the lowest level of Gringotts.

When Harry and Hermione stepped out of the Executive Travel Shoot, Orik led Harry and Hermione down a corridor.

"Mr and Mrs Potter here are your vaults. Vault One, Three, Four, Five, Six, Twelve, Fourteen, and One Hundred and Twelve, those are directly yours Mr Potter, Myrridin's, Gryffindor's, Ravenclaw's, Hufflepuff's, Slytherin's, Prevell's, Potter and Evans, Mrs Potter Vaults Two and Ten are yours, from Le Fay and Prevell"

"How is it that we are both related to Prevell whoever they are?"

"It is something I do not have all the details for but I would suggest that you look into yourselves and see what you come up with Mr Potter" said Orik

"Which Vault would you like to see first Mr Potter? Mrs Potter?"

"I think we would like to look at them together but we don't have enough time today so we will only look at a few" said Hermione

"Which ones would you like to look at Mr and Mrs Potter?"

"Can we start with Myrridin's Vault?" asked Harry

"Most certainly Mr Potter" said Orik, while thinking at the same time he had never meet such polite wizards or witches before.

"Thank you"

As Orik stopped in front of the door

"To open the vault door Mr Potter, you must place a drop of blood, if you want Mrs Potter keyed to the vault she must also add a drop of blood to the crest here on the vault door."

Looking at the crest all Harry saw was a Phoenix and Unicorn with a star surrounding the two magical creatures.

As Harry and Hermione pricked their fingers on the needle that Orik handed them, they placed three drops of their blood of the crest of Myrridin. The crest began to glow both the Phoenix and the Unicorn look at Harry and Hermione before nodding their heads, as the glow began to expand the full door, Orik spoke,

"Stand back please"

As they vault door started to open out, Harry and Hermione looked but couldn't see much, as they both went to walk into the vast vault, torches on the wall ignited as they walked in. Looking around the vault Harry saw tapestries lining the walls, chests located throughout, there were a few paintings one of a large castle and its surrounding, apart from a few other paintings of what Harry could only guess where some knights. In the centre of the vault stood a portrait of an ancient looking wizard, below on a table sat an egg on a blue velvet cushion.

Hermione came up to Harry and hugged him,

"Hermione why does the name Myrridin sound familiar?"

"Don't you know Harry?"

"No, it's familiar but I don't know why?"

"Myrridin is the Welsh name for Merlin, Harry this is Merlin the Greats Vault, just imagine what knowledge is in here." Said Hermione who looked fit to burst with excitement.

"This can't be Merlin's Vault? Can it?" said Harry in shock,

"Mr Potter this is indeed Merlin the Greats Vault, he was the first Wizard to entrust us Goblins with his possessions and what treasure he kept" said Orik from the door.

"Do you know if his portrait is magical?" asked Harry looking at the still portrait which wasn't usual for a portrait in the Wizarding world.

"It has just never been activated if you place your wand on the portrait and say 'activus' it will activate" said Orik

"Thank you" said Harry bowing his head towards the Goblin.

"So what do you want to do Harry?"

"Well I've got my trunk here so we can take some of the things with us and see what we can find" said Harry.

Harry and Hermione spent the next twenty minutes going through some of the things in the vault, deciding to take the portraits; especially the one of Merlin and the one Harry now thought must be Camelot. After Harry and Hermione loaded everything into the trunk that they were going to take away with them, they left the Vault.

As they walked over to Orik they saw Griphook walking towards them,

"Hello Lord and Lady Potter" said Griphook with a small bow.

"Hello Griphook," said Harry and Hermione bowing before Harry straightened up and looked Griphook in the eye.

"Could we perhaps get rid of the Lord and Lady bit and just be Harry and Hermione?" said Harry with Hermione nodding in agreement.

Griphook and Orik looked a little stunned when they heard this.

"Very well" said Griphook this was turning out to be a day he had never experienced before.

"Thank you" said Hermione.

"Well...Harry and Hermione, as it is going to take me a while to look through your accounts is there anything you wish for me to begin with straight away?" asked Griphook.

"Yes, we would have liked to go through the Vaults and see what we could find, but we have too much to do would it be possible for you to collect an intensive of what each vault contains? We could of course pay for any extra fees."

When Harry had finished speaking he looked at Orik and Griphook who both looked blown away

"Is there a problem?" asked Hermione

"Well no it's just that no one has ever in the last six years or so asked a Goblin to go into their vaults without the owner of the vault personally being there" said hundred Orik

"Well I have no problems in trusting the Goblins of Gringotts, if I can trust you to store my gold them I think I might just be able to trust you with my other possessions without me being there." Said Harry with a small smile on his face.

"We will be honoured to carry out the task for you Lor...Harry" said Griphook finally getting things set into his head.

"Thank you Griphook is it possible though when going through the vaults if any books or paperwork concerning the family be sent onto Hogwarts so I can look through them, as well as any portraits I will of course pay for any shipping charges. Though I probably should know how much gold I have before I even ask you to start doing these things?" said Harry looking a little embarrassed with himself.

"Well that's easily solved" said Griphook snapping his fingers. Before him was a piece of parchment detailing the current summaries of what each of the Vaults contained. Handing it over to Harry and Hermione, Griphook just stood back looking quiet smug.

" I think we might manage to get the things done for the vaults and manage a little shopping wouldn't you say H-Harry" said Hermione looking up at Harry who just continued to look gobsmacked

Seeing as Harry was still incoherent of logical thought, Griphook handed over two cards to Harry and Hermione, as well as a black leather wallet for Harry, and a black leather purse for Hermione.

"These cards as tied to the Potter vault for the moment if you wish to have them tied to anywhere else, then that can easily be done. Also we can supply you with cards tied to each of your accounts separate from the others." Said Griphook as he began to lead Harry and Hermione away from the vaults.

After a short ride back up the Executive Travel Shoot to the main foyer of Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Griphook bid Harry and Hermione Good-day before saying he would be in touch as soon as possible.

As Harry and Hermione walked out into the sunshine in Diagon Alley they turned to look at each other with a small smile.

"Guess we're rich then" said Hermione as she started to walk down the stairs

"Yeah I guess so" said Harry

"Well, I think we deserve a treat, especially you Harry" said Hermione taking her husbands hand.

"No I don't, but where would you like to go first of need I ask?" said Harry with a broad smile

Two hours later Harry and Hermione emerged from Flourish and Blotts, where Hermione bought what Harry could only guess was half the shop, as well as placed many orders from the catalogues for the books they didn't keep in store.

Next of their stop was the Magical Outdoors Shop. They needed to buy a tent for the up and coming Quidditch World Cup.

By three o'clock in the afternoon Harry swore he would never go shopping again, they had been at it for nearly ten hours, and Hermione had not shown any signs on tiring, she knew what she wanted and she knew where to get it, after a few hours of shopping in Diagon Alley they ended up moving into Muggle London. Harry was happy because he managed to get into the Quality Quidditch Store and persuaded Hermione to get a broom, Harry decided me might as well get a broom for the rest of them at the house and purchased in total six brand new Firebolts. It was going to be his little surprise for everyone.

After trailing round Muggle London for the rest of the day buying things Harry would have never thought to buy, Hermione finally said she was finished.

They both snuck down a back Alley and Harry called for Fawkes to come and fetch them.

When they finally got back to Grimmauld Place Harry collapsed on the bed and was asleep within seconds.

Hermione just smiled before taking out the trunk from Harry's pocket, enlarging it before she started to pack. They were leaving for the World Cup in a few days where straight after they would be returning to Hogwarts and that's when the work would begin.
