Looking to all three of them, she continued, "However, the magic of this... together with the very unusual nature of your triad relationship... outweighs those views. The magical community, for the most part, knows and understands this is considered a match made in Heaven. And that a person's individual viewpoint is irrelevant when faced with those facts.
"The three of you need to get over whatever beliefs you have that are negative to such a relationship and, at least, initiate the bond. I have the strong feeling that the bond will develop alongside your existing two bonds without you having to do much to... shall we say... encourage this particular individual one."
Harry looked between his two bondmates and could see both were still conflicted about the third bond. He sighed and rose from the bed.
Once he was standing near Madam Pomfrey, in as best an empathic and commanding voice as he could, he said, "Ladies. Please come here."
After a few moments, and a surprise to Harry, Daphne rose and hopped off the bed. As soon as she began to move, it was the trigger for Hermione to do the same.
Both girls then, albeit a bit reluctantly, walked over to stand in front of him. Both were still looking a little embarrassed and wouldn't look at him, anyone else or each other in the eye.
Harry turned to face Daphne and raised his hands to cup her cheeks, raising her face to look at him. "Where's that brave witch from off the train, hmm?" he softly asked her. "Be resolute." Then he leaned forward and softly kissed her on the lips.
He was glad both Madam Pomfrey and Luna chose to remain silent and quiet.
Looking her in the eyes again, he could see Daphne gather herself and firmly nod in return.
He then turned to Hermione and said, "The Hermione I know is never afraid of learning something new; or taking risks when needed. Show me her." As she looked up, as with Daphne, he cupped both her cheeks in his hand, leaned forward and softly kissed her. Releasing the kiss he pulled back and said, "Be resolute." And she, too, firmed herself and nodded.
Stepping slightly out of the way, he reached out and pulled Daphne in close. "We are bondmates," he firmly said. "We will spend the rest of our lives together. I love you both. And, I know you both are developing feelings for your bond-sister. We can do this; together!"
He then stepped back a touch to give them room. And waited, praying to God and their angels they could get past this. "For us," he softly said.
The next few seconds felt like a thousand years as neither girl moved. Then, almost as if they were of one mind, both leaned forward at the same time. Slowly, very slowly, their lips moved closer together. Then, almost surprising everyone, their lips lightly touched.
Both then pulled back, just a little, as they were both a little surprised by the contact. There was a slight pause; then, suddenly, they both quickly moved forward. Their lips touched, and then melded. Their arms came up to hold one another.
Harry, quickly but as quietly as he could, backed away as they both started to glow.
Neither Luna or Madam Pomfrey, nor Harry, had ever seen a bonding occurring before; even though Harry had been a part of one, twice.
Luna giggled and was quietly and rapidly softly clapping her hands in joy as Madam Pomfrey quietly whispered, "Oh, my!"
The bond between the girls got brighter and developed a silvery hue; almost pearlescent. For Harry, though, he also felt as if he was looking through a silver fog as he watched them. Raising his hands so he could see them, he noticed he, too, was glowing silver.
Not knowing why, but feeling he must, he stepped back forward and wrapped both girls, together, in a firm hug. Then watched as the glow became brighter for a few moments.
As the two girls pulled away from each other, the glow started to fade. They looked in wonder at the other before suddenly blushing and giggling. Harry started chuckling a little in happiness for them both before he said, "That was just... wow!"
"Yeah, wow!" Hermione giggled before Daphne nodded her head in bashful agreement.
Unknown to the three, Madam Pomfrey had moved forward and was slowly walking around their little group hug and waving her wand over them. It wasn't until she moved around into Harry's field of vision that he'd even noticed she was there.
"Well?" he asked.
"Just a minute, Mister Potter," the medi-witch almost absently replied. She was very focussed on what only she could see; or possibly also Luna. The young Ravenclaw was following just behind the medi-witch but stopped following when she was opposite Harry in the hug.
When she saw that Madam Pomfrey had completed her scan, Luna jumped forward and hugged both girls as Harry was doing from the other side.
"Ooohhh!" she giddily exclaimed. "That... was... amazing! I'm so happy for you both. And you, Harry!" And started giggling again; which, then set Hermione and Daphne off again. "And," she suddenly said, "Your original two bonds are also stronger now!"
With a clearing of her throat, Madam Pomfrey called to them, "Alright, you three."
When she knew she had most of their attention, she ordered, "I need the three of you back on the beds. This time, I need you on the end, Mister Potter. Switch with Miss Granger, please."
The three bondmates, albeit reluctantly, separated and returned to the beds. As he was told, Harry moved to the one Hermione laid upon as she moved to the one he was on.
When all three were back on beds, the medi-witch once more stepped forward and began her scans. This time, she focussed mainly on Hermione and Daphne. However, she did also scan Harry.
