Chapter 3 Witch or wizard?
AN: Poll's finished people! Final score :
They get relationship instantly: 0…
They get together a bit later in the story: 4.
(not many votes, I know, but it was a short time period)
I'll probably let them get together on August, 31 or something, maybe even at the wedding, since you guys thought that Ginny should find out accidentally.
Anyway, I'll see what to do. Any suggestions are always welcome, just add them in review or e-mail me.
Harry moaned.
He had been dreaming really weird things (and I mean really weird, because he's weird himself). Something about a frog trying to marry a Squib by giving him an out-dated love potion. Yeah, that had to be it. Oh no, wait, there was something else – erm…
Harry moaned again. He couldn't even remember what he was dreaming the second after he woke up. He finally opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the 7th years dormitory in Gryffindor tower. The dorm was just the way he left it back in June – the poster of Dean's favourite football team on the wall, pictures of Seamus' mum on his night table, an empty box of Chocolate Frogs and –
'Malfoy? What are you doing here? This is Gryffindor Tower, not Slytherin Tower.'
'So?' was the only answer he got back. Malfoy looked like shit: his hair was all messy and he apparently was a bit grumpy – but then again, Harry thought, he always was.
'Come on, we should go down for breakfast.' Malfoy got up from Ron's bed and leaned towards Harry to give him a peck on the cheek.
Harry dodged him by rising suddenly and grabbing his clothes. When he'd finally gathered them all and turned to take his watch (that still wasn't fixed since its encounter with the lake back in forth year, but he just wore it by routine), he saw an extremely naked and totally unembarrassed Draco Malfoy. He looked at his cock, and in one way or another he couldn't take his gaze off it.
'Like what you see?' Draco said with a large grin on his face.
Harry blushed and quickly turned to leave the dorm, muttering something about 'breakfast'.
When he entered the Great Hall, Harry was surprised to see that there were quite a lot of inhabitants at Hogwarts during summer break. Harry recognised professor Flitwick, Snape of course, Dumbledore at the head of the table and someone that Harry thought was Hermione's Arithmancy teacher.
'Ah, Harry.' Dumbledore said, 'There you are. Excellent, excellent. But where is Mr Malfoy? I thought you spent the night with him?'
Harry gagged.
'No, sir, I didn't. When I left the Hall after dinner, I went straight to bed.'
'Ashame… Ah well, I'm sure you two will get along. Not that you have much choice, I'm afraid…'
'Not much choice, sir?'
'Yes, Harry. You don't have much choice since you're Mr Malfoy's mate.'
Harry gagged again.
'His mate?'
'Yes, Harry. His mate. You two are destined to be with each other. You see, there was a prophecy made in the time that Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin still lived. Not many know, but Godric and Salazar were the best of friends, and when the school first opened, they even had a relationship. But things went wrong when Salazar thought that only pure-bloods had to be allowed. However, when Salazar built the Chamber of Secrets and left the school, he and Godric made an agreement. One day, the two heirs of the founders would meet and after being matured, that is when you reach the age of seventeen, they would get into their inheritance and know with which person they'd have to bond. Now, it is clear to me that those two persons are you, a direct descendant of Godric Gryffindor, and Mr. Malfoy, the Prince of Slytherin. Mr. Malfoy already got into his inheritance, and therefore already knows what I just told you.'
Harry was stunned. He tried to say something, but nothing came out – with the result that he seemed to do a really good imitation of a fish.
'It's true, Harry.' Someone said behind him – Malfoy, his mate.
'I… I- Do you- Are you- sure?'
'Yes, I am. When we have bonded, both of us will become extremely powerful, and We'll probably be able to take our NEWTs the day after our marriage.'
'Marriage?'
'Yes, Harry. Marriage. We will have to bond in three different ways once you've become seventeen. The first bond is an emotional bond – you'll have to trust me, I'll have to trust you. We have to look out for each other, feel each other and get attached to each other. The second bond has two parts. The first one is just a kiss – after that kiss we can start with the emotional bond. The second part is – well – to put it straight.. have sex.'
Harry gagged again, which made Draco roll his eyes.
'It's not that bad, you know.'
Harry looked at him suspiciously. 'How do you know?
'Erm… That doesn't matter at the moment. Anyway – the last bond is marriage. After our marriage, we won't be able to break the connection. We will be so attached, that neither of us will be able to stay away from the other for more than a couple of hours. Before the marriage, a day is the maximum credit we can get.'
'And what will happen if we stay away for longer then a day?'
'To put it simple? You'll experience a Cruciatus.'
Harry stared at him. He stared, stared some more and kept on staring.
'Harry?' Dumbledore asked, 'Harry, are you still there?'
'But… What will happen with… Ginny? I'm attached to her, too, you know.'
'Well,' Draco said, 'you'll have to choose between her and me. I think the wedding of the two Weasels will be on August 10th. You'll have enough time to spend with me until that date, just see how you feel then. But I must warn you, if you leave me for her, you'll experience immense pain.'
Harry sighed as realization sipped into him.
'You have no choice.' Parry told him. 'I told you that you didn't hate the Malfoy boy. It's just something you'll have to live with.'
Harry nodded and finally took his seat at the long table. He realised that everyone stared at him and Draco – who was still on his feet, looking at him.
He turned around to face him, stretched his arm and waited for him to grab it.
He did.
'Perhaps we can have some quality time together after breakfast?'
Harry gagged, but nodded.
'Quality time,' he thought, 'as long as it doesn't get too far. I don't wonna catch myself while snogging Draco again… At least not until Ginny knows…'
But Harry knew it was a lost case…
Once again, his future was already settled out for him – not giving him an option.
AN: Hope you liked it… I know it had loads of dialogue in it, but hey – I had to explain, right? Anyway, this chapter seems to work out differently than I planned it, so they might get together a little sooner… I'll make up with something. As I already said on top: suggestion are always welcome. Next chappie will have to wait until next week, since I'm on a theatre weekend. (yay! )
