Harry Potter knew he was doing the wrong thing, having slept with his best friend Hermione Granger, the girl that he had a crush on for ages but was unable to do anything until now, until she had found out that Ron Weasley, the man that she had feelings for, was still with Lavender Brown.

Harry knew that he was doing wrong, especially as he had found out from a letter that his godfather, Sirius Black, had left at Number 12, Grimmauld Place, telling him that he had been betrothed as a baby to the half-sister of Daphne 'The Ice Queen' Greengrass, Tracey Davis.

He had wanted to contact the young lady in question but, despite his attempts, did not feel confident to do so, alongside the fact that he was being hunted by Voldemort and his Death Eaters for a whole year.

He left the Gryffindor Common Room as he had decided that the time was right to speak to Tracey, to try to get her agreement to cancel the betrothal as he wanted to remain with Hermione, especially as he was in love with the bushy haired woman.

Suddenly he placed his hand in his pocket, unsure if he had put the Elder Wand that he had captured from Voldemort in there following the previous night when he realised he did not have the wand in his pocket.

'Fuck, I must have left it in the Head Boy's Dorm that I shared with Hermione last night.' He thought, turning around to head back into the common room. Heading up the stairs to the Gryffindor Head Boy chambers, he saw Neville Longbottom come from out of the Seventh Years dorms, holding hands with Hannah Abbott, who ironically was walking bowlegged.

"Hey Harry." Neville said, "I…I know you love Hermione but you need to tell her the truth."

"What do you mean Neville?" Harry asked, confused about what Neville meant.

"Tracey was telling me and Hannah after a meeting of the DA that she was betrothed to you." Neville said. "She said that she was going to murder you if you did not get in contact with her by her birthday…which is today!"

Harry rushed up to the Head Boys dorm where he saw his girlfriend on the bed, covered only by the blanket that was provided by House Elves.

"Hey Harry." Hermione said, adjusting the covers on her bed. "Ready for another round?"

"Hermione…I…I need to tell you something." Harry said, worried about how she would react to what she would say to him. "Hermione…I shouldn't have slept with you."

"What…what do you mean?" Hermione asked, straightening herself up in the bed. "What do you mean that you shouldn't have slept with me?"

"I mean that I shouldn't have slept with you as, even though I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I love you too much to let you go, I…I have to marry someone else." Harry said. "I…I found a letter that my dad wrote to Sirius when I was a few months old. It said…it said that he had arranged my marriage…"

"That's totally barbaric, arranging a marriage." Hermione said, grabbing her wand from the bedside table. "And what is more barbaric is you sleeping with me when you should be sleeping with your…your betrothed…" Practically spitting the last word out, Hermione cast a spell which conjured several birds out of thin air. "Why…why did you sleep with me? Just to get one over on Ronald that you slept with the Mudblood?"

"No! I slept with you because I was in love with you Hermione and I still am! Not Tracey Davis, not Ginny, but you. I know that I am not a virgin, having slept with Ginny before we broke up, but I was, and always will be, in love with you." Harry said, holding Hermione's hand. "If still want to be with me, I will try and negotiate with Tracey and her father, seeing if it is possible to cancel the contract."

"No Harry, you should have told me about your betrothal before you slept with me!" Hermione said, getting annoyed with him. "Yes we both had a few too many, and then the shock of seeing Ronald with Lavender, but you should have spoken to Tracey about this."

"But…I don't love her! I love you!" Harry said. Suddenly he started running out of the Head Boys dorm, grabbing his wand from the table it was on as Hermione set the birds that she had conjured on him!

Little would Harry realise that it would be the last time he, or anyone in the Wizarding World, ever saw Hermione Granger again.

Great Hall, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Scotland

04 May 1998

Harry headed down to the Great Hall, having spent the last few moments in fear of his life following the attack by the birds, when he saw Tracey Davis sitting alone at the Slytherin Table. He headed over to her when he suddenly found himself being hit with a stunner, hitting the floor as his vision blacked out.

Eventually he came to, and immediately came face to face with the sight of his betrothed. Looking behind her, he saw Daphne and Astoria Greengrass, her half-sisters, their wands pointing at him.

"Potter. It's about time that you finally came to see me." Tracey said, getting angry with the raven haired teen. "I was going to speak to my father about this betrothal and getting it cancelled, with the financial penalties being made against you for non-acknowledgement."

"Well I would have, but when I had a homicidal maniac on my case, it hardly presents opportunity for talking about betrothals." Harry said, scared of the Greengrass duo that were watching his every move.

"That may be Potter, but you had six years before going on the run, then two days since He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was destroyed." Tracey growled. "Instead you sleep with the Weasley bitch and Granger. You could have spoken then about the agreement."

"I only found out about it whilst I was on the run from a note in my godfather's house." Harry said.

"Cut the crap now Potter. You are betrothed to me now and the only woman you sleep with is me!" Tracy said, signalling to her half-sisters to put their wands down. "And you will never sleep with Granger again."

"I understand." Harry said, bowing his head. 'She doesn't want me ever again anyway, especially after those bloody birds.'

Tracy nodded and took him to Gringotts, and the reading of the betrothal contract. Little would expect a surprise for him several years later…
