Bonding Soul Mates
Chapter One

Harry's POV:

"Harry, Professor Dumbledore wants to have a word with you," Hagrid announces. "You too, Malfoy."

"If this is about that duel they had the other day, it wasn't Harry's fault," Hermione objects.

"I doubt that this meeting has anything to do with a duel," Hagrid assures.

Great, at least if it was because of the duel I'd know what I was heading in to, I think getting up and following Hagrid out of the room as he drags Malfoy along.

Draco's POV:

"Hey, unhand me, this instant!" I scream as that ridiculous half giant pulls me out of the room.

"Quit your belly-aching," he rolls his eyes.

Despite all of my struggling and demands, we end up in Dumbledore's office.

"Ah, thank you for joining us," the old fool greets.

"Us?" I ask as the idiot of a giant puts me down, finally.

That's when I notice the six other people in the room. Two of them are my parents, three of them seem to be completely lost, and the last is wearing very old/odd clothes, even older than the clothes that we wear.

Harry's POV:

"Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, what are you doing here?" I ask, completely shocked and confused.

"Please have a seat," Dumbledore points out the two available seats.

We have a seat; unfortunately, I have to sit next to Dudley, to my great dismay.

"What's going on, Professor?" I ask.

"Harry, Draco, I'd like you to meet Salina Sunprice, she's a matchmaker with a divine gift," Dumbledore introduces the remaining person in the room.

"Nice to meet you," I nod in her direction.

"Oh no, the pleasure is all mine, my dear," she insists.

I half smile and sit back in my seat.

Later that evening in the common room, I pace back and forth in rage while in front of my friends.

"They think what?" Ron gasps.

"That's impossible, Harry! There's no way that can be true," Hermione objects.

"No kidding, if it was then you'd be…but you're not…or else you wouldn't be with me," Ginny assures him.

"Professor Dumbledore says that she's never been wrong before," I rant.

"Well, there's a first time for everything," Ginny declares as she grabs my hand to stop my pacing.

"But still, the whole idea of…it's just so aggravating," I growl, trying not to yell.

"Take it easy, nothing is going to happen, Harry," Ginny assures, then, she leans up and gives me a gentle kiss.

I instantly calm down for a moment, but shortly after the kiss is broken, my anger surfaces once again.

"It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't keep insisting upon it. Professor Dumbledore said that he was going to send us to some weird dimension or something until we bond with each other," I explain.

"WHAT?!" all three of my friends shout.

Draco's POV:

"This is an outrage!" my father shouts as he stands in the grounds with my mom and I.

"I know, how dare they think that I'm…that way. And with Potter!" I agree.

"No, the question is, what have you been doing with Potter lately to make them even think something so ridiculous?" Dad asks, turning on his son.

"What's wrong with this, Lucius" Mom asks.

"It's an insult," Dad screams, "to think that our son would be soul mates with Potter of all people, it's an outrage!"

"But, Lucius, have you forgotten…."
