Another quick glance between the girls and they both said, "Family."
"Then, later this afternoon at the Farm, it is," he smiled.
With all three teens smiling at each other, Sirius looked over them at the sales witch and said, "And you, my dear, will not speak of this until these three and their families decide to make it public. Am I clear?" "Of course," the sales witch replied with a little curtsey. "I suggest you speak with Adeline Bancroft. She's the high society social events reporter. She's not as... rude... as that Skeeter woman. Besides, announcements of engagements are her bailiwick, anyway."
"Thank you," replied Harry, with a small nod. "You've been most helpful."
The sales witch gave another small smile and nod in return as they left the store.
Shopping then began in earnest for the teens. They had to hurry to make what purchases they wanted through the various stores before meeting at the cafe for lunch.
A hurried lunch then led to a reorganisation of the three groups. Harry went with Deece and Cele, and Hermione and Daphne went with Matthias and Ant. Sirius prowled on his own as he first had to visit Gringotts to take care of some Black family business. The teens then switched which adults they were with. And Sirius met up with 'the boys' a little later.
When he caught up to Harry, Matthias and Ant, Sirius took Harry aside for a moment. "It's now official, Harry. You're my Heir."
Quite moved by the gesture, Harry quietly replied, "Thank you, Sirius. That means a lot to me. However, I hope you'll soon find someone who'll be the next Missus Black and produce an heir of your own."
"I plan on it, pup," his godfather replied with a smile and a hand on Harry's shoulder. "However, I'm not rushing things. And, I wanted to make sure that spawn of Malfoy couldn't get his hands on the Black fortune."
Harry just nodded in response.
By the time shopping was completed, everyone was pretty much exhausted, and they headed back to the Farm by Floo from the Leaky Cauldron.
Once back at the Farm everyone headed for their rooms to drop off bags of shopping. Then Harry asked everyone to meet him in the parlour.
With Ant and Cele sitting on one couch, Matthias and Deece sitting on another, and Sirius in an armchair, Harry asked both girls to join him in the middle of the floor. With them standing side-by-side, he dropped to one knee before them both and took one of their hands in each of his own. "I know this bond we share means we will marry," he said. "However, I also understand how important it is to young women the world over to properly be proposed to. And, though we share a bond, I don't want either of you to think it means you have to miss out on things, such as a proposal like your peers will receive when their time comes.
"So; Daphne Anna Greengrass and Hermione Jean Granger, will you both do me the great honour of being my wives?"
"Yes, Harry," simultaneously.

With a happy grin, Harry let go of both their hands and reached into his pocket where he'd dropped both ring boxes in the store; and pulled them out. Carefully, he opened both boxes and removed the rings from within.
With Daphne, again, standing to his left and Hermione to his right, he held the engagement rings in each hand accordingly.
Both girls glanced at each other with a grin before both held forth their left hands, palms down and with fingers splayed.
Making sure to do both at the same time, Harry slipped the rings onto the ring finger of each. Thankfully, the two rings flashed together as they resized from a sizing charm.
He then stood and wrapped both girls into a three-way hug, as the adults all came forward to congratulate them.
"That was wonderful!" exclaimed Deece. "Both, at the same time. No fiancée has primacy." "That was the idea," replied Harry. "I hope something similar can be arranged for the wedding. I don't want either of them to think they are my second wife; as I love them both, equally."
That earned him extra tight hugs and squeals of pleasure from both girls.
They separated to receive hugs and kisses from the elders before Harry asked both girls to step apart for a bit.
Once they'd separated, and the adults discussed other matters, Harry held a hand of each girl before him and quietly said, "I think we should tell them the truth about the true nature of the three-way bonds."
Both girls looked back with a little shock before both also showed trepidation. "Do you think that's wise?" asked Hermione.
"Yes," he replied. "Because of our angels they all know that this a bond made in Heaven. I think if we calmly explain it to them they'll accept it better than you think. And I don't want it to be a secret from them."
Both girls glanced at each other for a few moments before they both nodded. They were both clearly a little afraid of the reaction they'd receive; but, they were also agreed that it was a secret they shouldn't keep from them.
"Besides," he continued, "When we get married I want it to be a true three-way marriage. I don't want it to be me just marrying two wives."
Thinking while nibbling on her lower lip, Hermione suddenly looked up with understanding written on her face. "You want it so you marry both of us, I marry both of you, and Daphne marries both of us."
"Yes," he firmly replied. "As it should be."
"Alright," said Daphne. "But, you're the one who's going to have to tell them."
"I figured as much," he wryly replied. "I'm also feeling as if I'm being urged to tell them, anyway."
As the three teens turned to walk back to join the adults, Harry called out, "Could everyone please take a seat, again? There's another important matter we need to tell you."
Once everyone was, again, seated - this time with Harry sitting between both his bondmates on the longest couch - he sat forward a little and said, "There's another issue about our relationship we need to tell you about."
That got everyone's attention.
"What we didn't know when you were each told about our bond was something we didn't learn about until later," he explained.
