My Mate

Chapter 28

A scream pierced the Hospital wing when Poppy entered; she was sure Harry wouldn't or shouldn't be up yet. He wasn't there, Ginny was the only one and she was just watching Poppy amused.

"Where is he?" demanded Poppy.

"He's fine, went away to get some peace, don't worry he's still in Hogwarts" said Ginny.

"He cannot be on his own!" shrieked Poppy.

"He's had worse Madam Pomfrey, and came through just as fine" soothed Ginny trying to calm the irate Medi Witch down.

"How can you not be concerned about him? Exactly where did he go?" asked Poppy angrily.

"I don't know he was fine stop worrying so much he will be back in a few hours" said Ginny. She sure hoped that they were married before her mother signed the papers, she had no doubt she would. She had always adored Harry, and made no secret of it but not in the way her mother probably thinks. Harry was her brother, more like her brother than Percy, Bill, Charlie, and Ron. Fred and George she loved, they understood her more than the others.

"I need to call Albus" said Poppy leaving the infirmary to the floo powder.

It wasn't even five minutes before Dumbledore was in the Hospital wing.

"Where is he Miss Weasley" asked Dumbledore calmly his blue eyes like crystals hiding his anger.

"I don't know he said he needed a walk" said Ginny softly.

"Did he tell you where he might go?" asked Dumbledore.

"Maybe he went to the Owlery to see Hedwig" suggested Ginny. The longer he searched for Harry the better chance they had of getting everything done in time.

"I shall request the help of the house elves excuse me" said Dumbledore leaving the Hospital wing in search for the door with the pears on it.

Ginny groaned of course they could use house elves damn it well that was that idea out of the question the entire building will be searched in a matter of minutes. She hoped he only used a couple, that way he would have the time he needed.

"Come" said Severus holding his arms out for Harry to come to him, Greg and Draco apparated out after them. They all knew where he was going, the registers office it was near Hogsmade.

"Can I help you gentlemen?" asked Natalie, her black suit and cloak making her look out of place. She would have looked more in place at a funeral parlour, not that they were thinking too much about her.

"We are here to be married," said Severus curtly.

"Of course, let's consult the diary" she said smiling at them.

"Right now" demanded Severus.

"I'm afraid that's quite impossible" Natalie said her eyebrows disappearing into her fringe.

"How about if I offered you 10,000 galleons" said Severus, money always worked every single time.

"I'm afraid the vicar is on his lunch break, but I can go and see if there is anything we can do" said Natalie. She earned 800 galleons a month; this was her chance to get some money and wasn't going to let it pass up.

"Very well" said Severus looking at the time on his watch, they didn't have long he hoped and prayed they did this in time.


"Ah Molly I've been trying to get you for a while" said Dumbledore looking annoyed.

"I'm sorry Albus I have been out shopping, it seems we have a Good Samaritan" smiled Molly looking radiant.

"May I come over and speak with you?" asked Dumbledore.

"Of course, a cup of tea will be waiting on you" said Molly, and then Dumbledore's face disappeared from view. Not long after he appeared out of the fireplace, not even a hair out of place.

"How is Ginny?" asked Molly immediately putting down the tea and biscuits.

"Where did the money come from?" asked Dumbledore looking slightly worried.

"Don't worry, it was someone giving some money to those in need" said Molly.

"How much did they so generously give you?" asked Dumbledore, he needed them penniless until they all had life debts to him. That way they would always love him even when they had the money.

"1000 galleons, I managed to get some new clothes for Ron and Ginny with it, from a proper shop I'm very pleased with it" said Molly.

Dumbledore couldn't think of anything to say and just nodded a fake smile plastered on his face.

"So why was it you came over?" enquired Molly curiously.

"I wanted you to sign this contract" said Dumbledore.

"What contract?" asked Molly her eyes suddenly sharp, oh she knew better than to sign anything without reading it trusted or not.

"A Marriage contract between Ginny and Harry" said Dumbledore.

"Oh" said Molly very surprised.

"Good news, the vicar is giving up his lunch hour to marry you both" said Natalie.

"Very good" said Severus "Can we hurry this along, we want to get to our honeymoon as soon as possible" lied Severus not even twitching.

"No problem," smiled Natalie.

They entered the room, and stood next to each other, Draco next to Severus, Greg next to Harry as their witnesses. Severus felt guilty and whispered to Harry "I promise when this is over I will give you a people wedding one that you can and will remember"

Harry smiled softly, and nodded his head he couldn't have asked for a better lover in the world.

"Now can I ask who I am joining together in holy matrimony?" asked the Vicar standing in front of them.

"Severus Snape and Harry Potter" said Draco softly.

The Vicars eyes widened in shock, that he hadn't expected he was having the honour of being the one to marry Harry Potter.

"It's an honour sir!" blabbed the Vicar.

"Yes well I want married today please if possible" said Harry.

"O-ooh Of course" he scrambled together.

"Now Mr. Potter repeat after me I Harry Potter do take" said the vicar getting his voice together.

"I Harry Potter do take" repeated Harry.

"Severus Snape as my husband to love, honour and obey"

Severus Snape as my husband to love, honour and trust" altered Harry he didn't like the word obey.

"Till death do us apart" finished the vicar.

"Till death do us apart" grinned Harry, as if he knew a little secret, which he did he was a vampire he wasn't going to die.

"Albus I'm not sure about this" said Molly looking unsure.

"You're daughter will get the Potter fortune and until they are married you will get monthly allowances from the Potter vaults to take care of the future Lady Potter" said Dumbledore.

"I have never approved of arranged marriages" said Molly, and it was true it was only the old pure bloods that still did it, mostly Death Eaters and mostly evil. She didn't feel right forcing her daughter into an arranged marriage; Arthur felt the same and god knows what would happen if she would sign that thing.

------------0

"Now Mr. Snape please repeat after me" said the Vicar.

"I Severus Snape do solemnly swear to take Harry Potter as my husband to love, honour and trust till death do us apart" said Severus all in one go.

"Very well, now sign here on the dotted line and make you're union final and true" said the vicar Natalie handed over the paper and Severus sat down pen at the ready and began signing his name.

"She already loves and adores Harry" said Dumbledore.

"I know that's not the point, at the end of the day if they are meant to be together they will be together" said Molly.

"Not if he strays" said Dumbledore "He has a habit of doing that"

Molly signed maybe she shouldn't do it, but she did, signing the paper and handed it over to Dumbledore.

He signed his name for Harry Potter making it a legally binding document.

Before his eyes he watched Harry's name disappear of the paper as if he had never written it down. Frowning he signed it again, the same thing happened, it could only mean one thing - Harry Potter was already married.

It wasn't possible.

Anger swirled around inside him stopping himself from reacting he managed to get out "It seems Mr. Potter is already married, it doesn't matter Molly thank you for you're time".

"Already married?! At 16 too?" shouted Molly.

But Dumbledore was already gone.

Back at his office in Hogwarts he flew into a rage and began breaking everything he could get his hands on. Screaming in anger and rage, which didn't last very long he may be powerful but he was old and didn't have it in him to scream and shout for long it was too knackering.

He used what was left of his adrenaline magic to clean up the mess he made, cursing Potter to the pits of hell; somehow he always managed to put a spanner in his work without meaning to. Times like this was when he felt like beating the boy to death and saving Voldemort the trouble. The boy seemed to have a sixth sense when he was in danger, it was really weird.
