Prologe

"Harry, you must do this, it's the law" Dumbledor told a seventeen year old Harry Potter.

Harry was just told, that because of a new law,he was to marry Professor Snape, his most hated potions master The law stated that any wizard at the age of seventeen was to marry before they turned eighteen or they would get into trouble with the ministry, resulting in 2-3 years in prison, because yes, the ministry was crazy.

"But I thought I could pick who I wanted to marry." Harry stated.

"You can but Professor Snape is the best choice for you. He can keep you safe from harm"

Harry frowned, he hated when people treated him like he would break with the slightest of touches.

The door to Dumbledore's office opened and Snape walked in.

"Mr. Potter" Snapes deep voice rang out in Harry's mind.

Chapter One

"Why does this always happen to me?" Harry complained

"Well Dumbledor said it was for your own good." Hermione said.

"How can you say that, 'Mione?" Ron asked in discust.

Harry sighed and slouched on the couch.

The next morning, after breakfast the trio had potions, Harry was dreading it the more then a face off with Voldemort. As they entered Harry took a deep breath and looked up to the front of the classroom. He saw snape who was now looking back at him.

"It'll be ok mate." Ron assured Harry as he patted his back

Harry sat himself down and frowned, it was going to be a long class…

After class Snape approched Harry as he was packing up. "I require a word with you, Potter." Snape sneered.

Harry nodded and they went to Snapes office to sit.

"In such cases, it is understandable that you do not approve of someone like myself, but I feel it would not be amiss for this relationship to proceed." Snape told Harry.

"I don't… not like you" Harry said looking any where but Snapes face.

Snape was surprised by this confession. "Very well, I apologize for assuming something without asking first." Snape said.

"It's ok"

Snape smiled a little and Harry was taken aback Snape had a nice smile

Snape noticed Harry looking at him oddly. "What is it?"

Harry looked up, then down just as fast. "Huh, oh nothing" Harry blushed "I should go"

Harry got up and started towards the door

"Can we set up a time to talk?" Snape asked.

Harry nodded. "Ummn… after dinner?" Harry suggested

"That would be acceptable." Snape smiled.

Harry was back in the common room with Ron and Hermione

"What did Snape want?" Ron asked

"Just wanted to talk" Harry replied

Hermione smiled. "See Ron, hes not all bad"

Ron frowned. "Whatever"

Harry laughed. "It's ok Ron, really."

During dinner Harry kept looking over at Snape, as if trying to decide if what they

had talked about after class was the truth.

"Harry, when are you meeting with him?" Hermione asked

Harry looked at her. "After dinner, why?" he asked confused

"Looks like he wants to start early"she said

Harry looked over at Snape who had gotten up from his seat and was heading toward the door he motioned for Harry to follow

"Ok, well here I go" he said as he waved goodbye to Ron and Hermione.

Harry followed Snape to his office. When they entered Harry looked around and

noticed Snape had changed the room a bit, it was more welcoming more lights and

an extra chair and table… it was nice.

"Would you like some Tea?" Snape offered

Harry nodded.

Snape went to pour the tea as Harry sat down and put his hands on his lap.

When Snape sat down as well Harry looked at him and tilted his head a little.

"Why me?"

TBC.
