Harry trudged miserably up the front steps of Remus' cottage. He banged on the door, tears of anger and sorrow dripping down his face.
Remus opened the door. One look at Harry and he said, "Harry! You're dripping wet! What on earth happened?" He pulled Harry into a wet hug, concern lacing his voice.
Harry and Remus walked inside the cottage. Remus sat them both down on the couch, and pulled his friend into his lap, rocking his back and forth and whispering comforting words, without know why he was comforting him at all.
"Harry, what happened?" He repeated.
"Remus, it was Lucius. I talked to Draco, and he was great and all, but then we all went swimming and he kissed me. It was amazing, but then he pulled away and said he couldnt control himself, and told me to come back later." Harry sobbed.
"Wait a minute. Draco was great, and his father kissed you. But then said father sent you home because he couldnt control himself?" Remus asked.
"Yes." Harry said.
"Oh," Remus said. "Oh!"
"What?" Harry asked through his tears.
"Harry," Remus said urgently. "You need to stay here. I have to check something."
Harry nodded. He curled up in a ball on the couch and closed his eyes, looking exausted and ready to fall asleep.
Remus ran a hand through Harry's hair, and then paced to his study.
Harry was seated on a black leather sofa, and Lucius Malfoy was standing in front of him. "Oh, Harry Harry Harry." He cooed. "You really thought you were worthy of my love? Well, you were mistaken." His eyes grew colder than Harry had ever seen them.
"But, Lucius, please. I- I love you." Tears fell from his closed eyelids, dripping steadily onto his lap.
"Oh, Harry. You think I dont know that? You think that there is no reason that I lead you on the way I did? I wanted to crush you. And now I have." He laughed evilly.
"I never thought you could do this to me." Harry wept.
"You insolent boy. I can, and I will!" Lucius glared at him as if he were a disgusting animal, barely worthy of being fed. "Besides, I have found another." Severus Snape appeared out of thin air, entwining himself around Lucius. Their lips met, the kiss quickly becoming a passionate battle of tounges.
Harry gave a moan of pain. "You monster, you have hurt me more than any other." Harry cried. "It hurts me to be away from you now, you know. It hurts me." He whispered. "How can you do this to me?"
Lucius stopped kissing Snape long enough to address Harry. "I told you, foolish boy. You are not worthy of love. I lead you on simply to toy with your feelings. I feel nothing for you. I never have, and I never will."
"Harry?" Came a muffled voice, laced with worry.
Harry cried out, burying his face in his pillow. So it had all been a dream. But it had been so real. So real, and so incredibly painful.
"Remus. Remus, it hurts." Harry moaned.
"What hurts? Harry, you have to tell me where it hurts for me to make it better." Remus told him.
Harry pointed at his chest. "Here. It hurts." He choked.
"Oh, Harry. Did you have a nightmare?" Remus asked him.
Harry nodded.
"Care to talk about it?" Remus asked.
Harry took a deep, shuddering breath. "I was sitting on a couch, and Lucius was in front of me. He told me that it had all been a setup, and that I was not worthy of love. He told me he had found someone else. Then Snape came out of nowhere and they kissed. It was awful." Harry had calmed down enough to realise that he had been dong a lot of explaining today.
"Oh, Harry." Remus said kindly. "That isnt possible. It isnt possible for Lucius to ever be with anyone else, because Lily and James, well, mostly Lily, bonded you two for life when you were born. It isnt possible for him to be with anyone else, that is why he and Narcissa never worked out. That is also why it is causing you pain to be away from him. When you both realise your feelings toward one another, then it will cause you emotional pain to be hurt by the other, and then be out of ech others presence."
Harry gaped. "What?" He asked in disbelief.
"Harry, it is all true. When you fell asleep I looked at your records, and you have an irreversable bonding spell set on you. So you and Lucius will have to be together, or risk going mentally insane." Remus told him grimly.
"Oh, Moony, I dont want him to be with me because he has to, I want him to be with me because he wants to." Harry said miserably.
"Harry, trust me. He has to want to be with you for the spell to work. Otherwise the two of you would share a very close friendship." Remus said. "Harry, I owled Lucius with the news of you two being bonded, and he is coming over here right now."
"Oh, fuck, Remus! I cant see him right now, he just gave me the best kiss of my life and then practically threw me out." Harry said desperately.
"You can, and you will." Remus said sternly, reminding Harry very much of his dream.
Harry huffed. "Fine."
Remus grinned. "Thats my cub." He ruffled his hair.
A bang sounded on the door, presumably Lucius.
Harry groaned. "Save me, Moony!"
Remus just smiled. "I'll get it, you stay here." He ordered.
"Fine."
Remus walked into the den, returning with the blonde object of Harry's forced desires.
Lucius smiled grimly. "I am so sorry, Harry." He said sincerely. "I just couldnt control myself."
"I know, and that isnt your fault." Remus put in.
Lucius stared at him. "What?"
"Well, when Harry was born, Lily put a bonding spell on the two of you, ensuring that you would always protect him. I think she saw the light in you. The spell causes you to either be very close friends, or, if you havent know each other long enough to be friends, to eventually have romantic feelings for each other. Once you realise these feelings, it becomes very difficult to control yourselves around each other. This is why it was not your fault, Lucius." Remus explained.
Harry and Lucius gaped at him. "You never told me that part!" Harry exclaimed.
"I was waiting." Remus said simply.
Lucius sat on the long couch next to Harry. He put his arm around his shoulders, pulling him close to his chest. "Harry, I am so very sorry. I never wanted you to be forced to be with me."
"Lucius, we would just be friends if the feelings hadnt been there originally." Harry said quietly. He burrowed into the embrace, inhaling Lucius' unique scent. Lucius hugged him closer, running a hand through his hair.
"I know, but you're young. They could have easily disappeared on your part." Lucius said sadly.
"No. Never." Harry vowed. "I have been through a lot, and I know what I want. I may be only seventeen, but I know what I want. And what I want is you."
"It's only the spell making you feel this way." Lucius said.
"No, it is not!" Harry said angrily. He leaned over and promptly kissed Lucius hard on the mouth.
Lucius pushed him away. "No, Harry. I love you, but I cannot force myself on you." He stood rapidly and strode outside, the pop of apparation echoing in the empty house.
