Chapter fourteen

'I've been raised with the belief that we'd marry when you were eighteen, I never knew why just that we would,' Ginny said sadly.

'Look, fine, you and I can marry, have sex on our wedding night then you live alone forever, no career, no children to raise as I will be doing that, no relationships at all and nothing to do with me at all. You will be supported with what I stipulate, a home, clothes, food, that's about it. I didn't want this and I don't like anyone trying to force me to do something I don't want to do. I never intended to marry, that was something I was not interested in, but I have no choice and again like the prophecy, decisions about my life have been taken out of my hands.' Harry panted heavily.

'Calm down harry, you can't let your power get out of control,' Severus said but saw Draco rubbing Harry's groin which seemed to work.

'After all the family has done for you, you would treat Ginny like that?' Molly almost shouted.

Severus placed a hand on Harry's arm to keep him from getting angry because he could see those words from Molly Weasley were making Harry angry and that was the last thing they needed.

'What you've done for Harry, have you forgotten that Harry saved Ginny's life, that he saved Ron's life, that he saved your husband's life. Now as Harry is a lord and was during those times he could enforce his own life debt to those three which means he could ask for anything. He could tell Ron he could never be with Hermione, he could make Arthur divorce you, he could make Ginny marry someone she hates, he could ask for anything since your family have no titles or money. So Molly, this is all you're doing, you need to decide which child of yours is going to have a life they don't want or like in anyway just as you planned for Harry.'

'If you are serious about doing this Harry then I know my decision.'

'Molly, what are you thinking?' Arthur asked.

'I will break the contract and die,' it was instant, all the Weasley's shouted out no to their mother.

'No, I'll marry Harry,' Charlie said quickly, 'You thought of only joining your family with another like a lot of pureblood families do when they arrange marriages, this is just more extreme.' Charlie glared at Harry as he spoke to his mother.

'I'm not the bad boy here, I was made to do this so I figured if had to then I would have control,' Harry said but looked at Kingsley.

'Harold Potter was a very wise, smart and shrewd man, he also did not take kindly to anyone trying to manipulate his family, Harry's the same, he does not want to be manipulated into a marriage with someone he has no romantic feelings for. Harold spoke with his attorney and worked out exactly how his future grandchild would be protected and have a relationship that child wanted not what they were forced into. So even though Harry did not want to get married, he did want a relationship with Severus and Draco. The three of them spoke about their relationship and their feelings, that is why they offered themselves to be married to Harry. He could go through with the contract but have the men he wanted not who he was forced to be with.'

'Do you think we can talk about this alone Harry. I don't agree with magical binding contracts and this is something Molly should have told me as it involves my children. But this has been done and I do not want anyone to die, I'm sure you don't either,' Arthur said.

'I don't Mr. Weasley, all I want is to live and have a relationship with who I chose which is Severus and Draco. So you have two weeks to work this out, let me know what you decide,' Harry took Severus and Draco's hand as he stood, 'I am sorry about this, Charlie if it's you, maybe I can work something out, right now I can't say. But remember, this wasn't my doing I'm just going along with it.'

'Let's go home love,' Severus said.

Harry nodded, 'Kingsley, we'll let you know when you have to do the ceremony, if you want to still do it that is?'

'I do, I married you to Severus and to Draco, I will do the next one,' Kingsley watched Harry, Severus and Draco leave, 'When I first explained all this to Harry he ended up back in the cool bath trying to keep his power from exploding. I had no idea at the time that he was already seeing Severus and Draco. They have a very unusual relationship but it works for the three of them. I'll leave you to work this out, Harry will contact me when you've made a decision,' Kingsley and his auror left, leaving the whole Weasley family and Hermione in stunned silence.

'Since this was done originally for me, I'll go through with it,' Ginny said sadly.

'You won't have a life or have anything to do with your child,' Bill said.

'Mum wanted this for me, not like this of course, but this is how it's going to be, we have no choice, just like Harry, he has no choice.'

'I wanted my daughter to have a better life, a good life, I should have worded everything better.'

'It's still not right Molly, we are not like those purebloods that arrange marriages for our children or based on blood status, if we did Ron and Hermione could not be together, George and Angelina couldn't either. None of this matters now, Harry felt like he was cornered so he made sure he was protected. So we have to decide what is going to happen.'

'I already said I'll do it, it just means I won't have a quidditch career, or any career,' Ginny sighed.

'Let me talk to Harry, he might change all the details,' Hermione said.

'He seems adamant, but he still has to marry or he dies, so it seems someone has to marry him,' Percy said.

'What if he lets Ginny have a career and a life away from him, maybe we can talk him into that,' George said.

'You won't talk Harry around, this seems to have pushed him. He told Hermione and I that if he wasn't for all of us he would have left and bugger the prophecy, but since that choice was made for him whether he wanted it or not, he fulfilled it, he said he would never do it again, he didn't care if there ended up being another Voldemort,' Ron said, 'The most we can hope for is he allows whoever does this to see the family.'

Everyone lapsed into silence as all of them tried to come up with something so Molly wouldn't die, which meant someone had to marry Harry, but which one. Let the only girl in the family go through a life with no love, no chance of a relationship or a family of her own, or maybe one of the boys takes her place, sacrificing themselves to save their mother and their sister. None of them knew what to think or do, maybe after the shock of all this has worn off they could think clearly and make the right decision.
