Harry awoke with Poppy shaking him. "Good morning Mr. Potter." She said as she handed him his breakfast. "The headmaster will be down in a moment and you will walk with him. So eat up." With that she walked away and Harry finished his meal. 'I wonder who I'm going to marry. I just want a nice family as long I don't have to go to the Dursleys I'm fine.' He admitted to himself. After he ate he decided to go ahead and get dressed. Before he got his shoes on Dumbledore walked in.
"Good morning my boy!" Albus sang. Cherry and happy as usual.
"Good morning Professor." Said Harry.
After Harry got his shoes on they head off for a walk. Since it was Hogsmeade weekend most students where gone which is a perfect day for Harry to try walking. "Well instead of beating around the bush. Harry I have someone in mind for you to marry." Albus looked worried. Harry was shocked.
"That was fast. Who is it?" He said eagerly. However Albus did not answer so quickly he knew Harry would not be too happy about this person.
"You will be wedded to Severus." The headmaster almost whispered this. Harry wasn't very surprised. He knew it would be someone crazy like Professor Snape. Only Dumbledore would pick someone who doesn't get along at all to marry each other. Harry simply replied with an "Okay." And smiled. With that they walked down to Snapes personal quarters. Albus knocked on the door slightly. Snape groaned in his chair. He wasn't ready to see Potter but he let them in.
"OH Severus how are you." Albus dropped the smile when same gave the I'm-not-in-the-mood look.
"Fine. Did you break the bad news to mister potter?" Asked Severus.
"Yes. He did and it's not bad news Professor." What Harry said surprised Severus very much. How could he not be angry? I mean even unhappy would be enough. Snape didn't know why he wanted Harry to be unhappy or angry. 'Perhaps it's because I am not happy with this.'
"Well, Severus I have just come to inform you invitations will be sent to everyone during dinner in the Great hall next day of classes." He explained. Severus nodded. "Also Harry you do understand that no one can know this marriage is fake you must act as though you love Severus to everyone." At this Harry was confused.
"Not even Hermione and Ron? They won't tell anyone." He said hoping he could tell them. Dumbledore just shook his head. Harry walked back to the Gryffindor tower and sat in the common room until Hermione and Ron came back he knew he'd have to tell them about his relatives just didn't know how. When everyone finally got back they all welcomed him and asked how he was doing once he had said hello to everyone he told Hermione and Ron to take a walk with them and they did.
"Are you gunna tell us what the bloody hell is going on?" Asked Ron. Harry stopped walking and turned around he took a deep breath and got ready to tell them.
"The Dursleys" He looks to the side. "The Dursleys abused me. Mentally, physically and." He pauses almost in tears.
"And?" Hermione asked. Ron looked at her he had the same look on his face.
"Sexually." Harry blurts out. He was now on the verge of crying the looks form his friends didn't help either. He was rushing now to pack his stuff.
"Hey mate slow down. Everything is gunna work out we're all just glad you're okay." Ron says worried about his best friend. Harry sits on the bed and sighs.
"Thanks guys. I'm pretty tired so I'm going to lay down." He said yawning they all said goodnight and went to bed. Tomorrow will be a big day.
