Chapter 25
Minerva McGonagall paced up and down in the Hogwarts library, searching for the right book. Hermione and Draco were trying to help, neither having much luck. Harry and Luna stood together, occasionally moving when everyone else did.
They were in the restricted section for a while before Hermione finally found the book that they had been searching for.
"Finally!" Hermione sighed. She handed the book to McGonagall. It was opened quickly, and McGonagall searched for the correct information.
"There's a prophecy." Minerva stated. "From about 300 years ago." Everyone was curious. "It says: 'The three Gryffindors, who defeat the greatest evil, as a reward, will learn of their soul mates in the year of its eleventh anniversary. Of those three Gryffindors, one will be bonded to a Slytherin, one to a Ravenclaw, and the last to a Hufflepuff.' " All five were shocked.
Harry was the first to speak. "So... Ron will find his soul mate too?"
"That's what it sounds like." McGonagall replied. She looked back at the writing in the book. "It also says that after a soul mates first kiss, they have to get married within 6 months, or both will be in grave danger, and death will occur soon after." She stopped to look at the shocked faces in front of her. "If they do marry, however, they will both live to an extraordinary age." Hermione and Luna were staring at each other, Harry and Draco were doing the same.
"Looks like we have two weddings to plan then." Draco broke the silence.
"Wait." Harry turned to Hermione and Luna. "You kissed?"
They both looked guilty and Draco laughed. "It was earlier today, when they stayed behind. When I went back to get them, they were kissing."
McGonagall stopped them there. "You can talk about this later, but right now I need to know - Harry, Draco, when did you first kiss?"
"Only yesterday, Professor." Harry replied, politely.
"Go then, plan the weddings." Minerva was both excited and very nervous. "Harry, Draco, I will see you on the 1st of September." They thanked her as she sent them through the floo network.
