Set on Stone-A Snarry RP (Part 2)

Harry: I'd like to be alone, please.



Remus: *whacks him* You don't just go blurting things like that out, Siri!



Sirius: Ouch! What do you want me to do? Sugar-coat my words? You know Har doesn't like that



Severus: At least lemme talk things through with you, explain why it came to be so. It's something your mother wanted me to tell you and you alone



Harry: Fine. Talk.



Severus: *entered the room and sat on a chair opposite him* Potter, your mother entrusted me as your betrothed to save your life



Harry: What?



Severus: The prophecy was a ruse for a much more nefarious act. The true prophecy states that your union with the Dark Lord will bring forth death and destruction to all that is sacred, and the only way to keep that from happening is to marry you to someone else by birth because once an engagement is set, it is bonding and can only be severed upon death. That's the main reason why he came to your home; to find out whoever it is that you have been betrothed to and kill that person, and since they did not talk, he killed them and decided to kill you, the lesser of two evils



Harry: So I was supposed to marry Voldemort? *looks like he's about to puke*



Severus: Yes, according to the true prophecy. The Ministry decided to alter it after you survived his killing curse



Harry: I think... I'm gonna... *leans over the bed and vomits, still thinking about being forced to bond with Voldemort*



Severus: *reaches over to pat his back to ease his vomiting*



Harry: *finally stops*



Severus: *magicked away the mess* Would you like something to drink to ease your nausea?



Harry: *staying hunched over for now, not quite ready to get up* I'll be alright. I just need to brush my teeth. *thinks about that for a second* Twice.



Severus: *nods* I wish the circumstances would have been different, but unfortunately it isn't. We are engaged, and it's for life



Harry: ... *gets up to brush his teeth and then comes back* No.



Severus: *blinked* No? No what?



Harry: To this. *starts to remove his necklace*



Severus: Potter, as much as I do not wish to be in this predicament, I would advise against trying to remove it. Besides, it's not going to help. Our engagement was already registered into the Ministry and sealed with Old Magic. Any attempt to break the bond will result in either party's death, and unlike you, I don't have a death wish



Harry: *frowns* So what? I have no say in my life?



Severus: Well, there is no limit as to how long we should be engaged, but I know tongues will wag, and people will start enquiring. Besides, there is a slight downside to being bonded



Harry: Slight? You consider having absolutely no choice in who you spend the rest of your life with 'slight?!'



Severus: No, that's not what I meant. Honestly, Potter, jumping into conclusions just like your father. What I mean by downside is that you cannot have extra-marital affairs, especially ones that lead to sex. Any attempts to commit adultery will result to excruciating pain when you have sexual intercourse with your scandal. Like having a knife jabbed into your anus, so to speak. THAT's what I mean



Harry: Well that's fucking fantastic. It's WORSE than I thought.



Severus: It is the Old Magic, there's no way to go around it. I'm the victim here too, you know



Harry: The fuck you are! You've had my entire life to get used to it -AND- you had to consent to it in the first place so you knew about it before it even happened! I've spend my entire life unable to be with people whom I liked, and now I find out that I'll be forced to marry and fuck my professor!



Severus: I wanted to tell you, believe me, I would want nothing more than to let you know in the beginning, but your mother's magic was strong. It prevented me from telling you. Maybe Lily wanted me to tell you at an age where you would understand. Unfortunately from how you're reacting right now, I guess she's wrong



Harry: How the fuck am I supposed to react?!



Severus: For one, I would've thought you'd take it calmly. I assume that after your days with the Dark Lord, nothing surprises you anymore



Harry: I thought after that thing was dead, I'd be able to finally go out with Draco!



Severus: I take it you never told Mr Malfoy about your predicament



Harry: Of course I did. And we decided that I'd bond with whoever the fuck I had to, then divorce, and we could date.



Severus: Like I said, it is binding, the "Till Death Do You Part" is quite literal in a sense. Malfoy is from the old family, he should also know that actual procedures for it



Harry: *glares* We're done talking.



Severus: *nods* Well, just think about it calmly. Remember, I didn't take it any easier than you did *left the room*
