A/N: This plunny was born from a Roll-A-Prompt in Hermione's Haven on facebook. My prompt was accidental marriage. Updates may be slow, so please forgive me. I wanted to share what I had so far.

Many thanks to my beta gaeilgerua.

Chapter One

"I'm sorry, what?" Hermione asked, her eyes wide as she stared at Bill.

"We've activated a blood bond between us," Bill explained.

"I don't understand…" She was in complete shock. A few weeks after the end of the war, she had been completely surprised when Bill asked her to meet with him. The news he was sharing was beyond her comprehension.

"I had a cut on my hand when you guys appeared at Shell Cottage… When I carried you inside, our blood mixed."

"We activated a blood bond?" Hermione questioned. "Doesn't there need to be intent?"

Bill cleared his throat. "Well, I may have…"

"Tell her, William," Molly said from the doorway.

"Mum!" he hissed, eyes wide in panic.

"I'll leave you be, but just be honest." Molly smiled at Hermione. "It's lovely to see you, dear. Stay for dinner?"

"Sure," Hermione replied, knowing that answering otherwise would open a rather large can of worms.

When Molly left them both alone sitting at the kitchen table, Hermione turned to Bill. "What are you not telling me?"

"We're bonded, and for all intents and purposes, we're married."

"Married?"

"The Ministry has a certificate recognising our union. I have a copy." He slid a piece of parchment across the table.

Sure enough, there it was. Hermione Jean Weasley.

"What about Fleur?"

"We've separated."

"I'm sorry," Hermione whispered.

"Don't be; I'm not." Bill took a deep breath.

"So we can undo this, right?"

"No, we can't, Hermione."

Hermione let out a shaky breath. "Why not? You've divorced Fleur?"

"Fleur and I weren't blood bonded. You can try and find a way, Hermione, and I'll help, but I don't think we'll be able to separate."

"This is a lot to take in," Hermione said, feeling her emotions start to catch up to her.

"I know," Bill answered.

"There's more, isn't there?" she asked, recalling the earlier part of their conversation.

The look on his face said it all.

"I need a moment," Hermione said, standing and fleeing from the kitchen.
